Display unit 10 can be realized that display unit 10 can come to show at it by arbitrary liquid crystal or OLED display screenPicture is shown on region.
Touch sensing unit 11 can be realized by arbitrary capacitive touch panels.Have in the touch sensing unit 11 pre-If the touch sensitive area of area, and can be to position of the contactant (e.g., finger, felt pen) in touch sensitive area(touch location) generates response.According to an embodiment of the invention, being touched when user's use information processing equipment 1 inputs characterSensing unit 11 may include character input region (hereinafter referred to as first area), and touch sensing unit 11 can be to contactTouch location of the object in the first area generates response.Here, first area includes multiple character set regions, and these are multipleCharacter set region is corresponding from different character set respectively.Fig. 2A shows the example of first area.However the invention is not limited thereto,First area can be not limited to situation shown in Fig. 2A.For example, can be arranged in a manner of multiple lines and multiple rows in the first region moreA character set region, and character set can be arranged in a manner of multiple lines and multiple rows in each character set region.It is according to the present inventionEmbodiment, touch sensing unit 11 can at least partly be overlapped (e.g., the display of first area and display unit with display unit 10Area coincidence).For example, in touch sensing unit 11 (Chong Die) can be completely coincident with display unit 10.In this case, existWhen user inputs character using touch sensing unit 11, as long as the display of the first area of touch sensing unit 11 and display unitArea coincidence, display unit 12 can show multiple character set regions and more on display area corresponding with the first areaMultiple characters in a character set region.
Processing unit 12 can be realized by arbitrary processor or microprocessor.Processing unit 12 can be based on scheduled journeySequence executes scheduled processing.According to an embodiment of the invention, processing unit 12 can be controlled according to preset character input applicationDisplay unit 10 and touch sensing unit 11 processed.In the case where user has activated character input application (e.g., using short message,Microblogging etc. sends out message), processing unit 12 is based on preset condition and starts character input mode.Under character input mode, processingUnit 12 can show multiple character set regions on display area corresponding with the first area of touch sensing unit 11 firstAnd multiple characters in multiple character set regions.Then, when contactant starts to contact with touch sensing unit 11, processing is singleMember 12 determines the position of contactant in the first region, and the determining and position (touch location) by touch sensing unit 11Corresponding character set region (hereinafter referred to as the first character set region).For example, can be stored in advance in information processing equipment 1Position in one region and the corresponding relationship in corresponding character set region, and processing unit 12 can be true according to the corresponding relationshipFixed the first character set region corresponding with the touch location of contactant.Then processing unit 12 is based on identified first character setCorresponding first character set of regional choice, and shown on the second area of display area and the first word by display unit 10The corresponding character set (hereinafter referred to as the first character set) in symbol collection region.Here, in order to keep display clearer, on display unit 10Region corresponding with first area and the second area be not be overlapped.For example, as shown in Figure 2 A, first area and second area phaseMutually separation.In addition, processing unit 12 is based on contactant and is touching biography during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contactFeel the sliding on unit and determine character to be entered from the first character set, and is mentioned on the second region by display unit 10Show character to be entered.
Specifically, for example, during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contact, in the secondth area of display unit 10The first character set corresponding with the first character set region is shown on domain.At this point, if processing unit 12 detects contactantIt is slided in one character set region, then processing unit 12 is determined based on slide of the contactant on the first character set region to defeatedThe character entered.For example, can determine character to be entered based on sliding position of the contactant on the first character set region.ThisIn, can be stored in advance in information processing equipment 1 position in first character set region in corresponding first character setThe corresponding relationship of each character, and processing unit 12 can be corresponding with the touch location of contactant according to corresponding relationship determinationThe first character set in character.Then processing unit 12 is prompted identified to defeated on the second region by display unit 10Enter character.For example, as shown in Figure 2 A, if character set region (abcdefg) is touched in contactant, in display unit 10Display character set corresponding with symbol collection region (abcdefg) on second area.At this point, being protected in contactant and touch sensing unit 11During holding contact, if processing unit 12 detects that contactant slides in the character set region, processing unit 12 is based on connecingIt touches sliding position of the object on character set region and determines character to be entered (e.g., b).Then processing unit 12 passes through display unit10 prompt identified character to be entered on the second region.Here, prompting mode is not limited to the example of Fig. 2A, for example, may be used alsoBy highlight, make character to be entered become larger or deformation by way of prompted.
In addition, according to another embodiment of the invention, be also based on direction and the amplitude of slide determine toThe character of input.For example, processing unit 12 can be based on if contactant is slided to the left in character set region (abcdefg)Sliding amplitude determines that character to be entered slides several characters from current character to the left, or in contactant in character set region(abcdefg) when sliding to the right in, processing unit 12 can determine that character to be entered is slided to the right from current character based on sliding amplitudeMove several characters.
In addition, the case where example of first area and second area is not limited to Fig. 2A.For example, as shown in Figure 2 B, secondThe content that specific character is concentrated can be shown in region in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows.Here, due to based on slide determine toThe character of input simultaneously prompts the mode of the character to be entered which is not described herein again similar to the previous description.Furthermore it is also possible toMultiple character set regions are arranged in first area in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows, and with multiple lines and multiple rows in each character set regionForm arrange multiple characters.In such a case, it is possible to determine corresponding word based on the position of contactant in the first regionSymbol collection region, be then based on contactant in the character set slide (e.g., position or on, under, left, right equal directions) come it is trueFixed character to be entered.
Then, processing unit 12 detects whether slide of the contactant on the first character set region stops.If placeIt manages unit 12 and determines (e.g., the time of slide stopping of the contactant on the first character set region is less than or equal to first threshold1-3 seconds), then processing unit 12 continues to determine word to be entered based on slide of the contactant in the first character set regionSymbol.In addition, if processing unit 12 determines that the time that slide of the contactant on the first character set region stops is more than theOne threshold value, then processing unit 12 based on the position of contactant export character to be entered (slide stop before determine to defeatedEnter character).Then, processing unit 12 can continue to test slide of the contactant on the first character set region, and continueDetermine next character to be entered.
In addition, according to another embodiment of the invention, if processing unit 12 determines contactant in the first character set areaDeliberate action is made on domain, then the output of processing unit 12 based on slide of the contactant before making deliberate action determine toThe character of input here presets at movement and selects the slide of character different from user.For example, the deliberate action can be contactObject leaves the movement of touch sensing unit 12.In this case, the character to be entered of output can be contactant and leave touchingThe character to be entered that the slide of that time determines before touching sensing unit 12.In addition, being shown in Fig. 2A in first areaIn the case of, due to determining character to be entered by horizontally slipping, preset movement, which can also be, to be slided up and down.ThisIn the case of, the character to be entered of output can be that contactant makes that the slide of that time before deliberate action determines to defeatedEnter character.
In addition, if while showing the first character set corresponding with the first character set region on the second region, processingUnit 12 detects that contactant is sliding into outside the first character set region, then sliding position of the processing unit 12 based on contactant is trueFixed second character set region.Here, similar to the previous description, if processing unit 12 detects that contactant is sliding into firstOutside character set region, then the position in sliding position and pre-stored first area of the processing unit 12 based on contactant withThe corresponding relationship in corresponding character set region determines another character set region in addition to the first character set region (hereinafter referred to asTwo character set regions), and determine character set (hereinafter referred to as the second character set) corresponding with the second character set region.At thisIn the case of kind, processing unit 12 shows the second word corresponding with the second character set region by display unit 10 on the second regionSymbol collection.By the above-mentioned means, from the user's point of view, if contactant be moved to from the first character set region it is another in first areaPosition, then processing unit 12 determines the second character set region corresponding with the another location, and shows on display unit 10The second character set corresponding with the second character set region.At this point, locating if contactant slides in the second character set regionReason unit 12 can determine the character to be entered in the second character set based on the slide of contactant.
By the above-mentioned means, can determine character set region, and then basis by the touch and slide of contactantSlide of the contactant in character set region determines character to be entered.In this case, it is accidentally touched even if user produces,It can also be corrected by slide and accidentally be touched.In addition, due to during slide contactant without departing from touch sensing unit 11,Therefore the time needed for contactant is clicked is saved, is rapidly input so as to realize.
It is described above and the first character set region is determined according to the position of contactant in the first region, existed based on userSlide in first character set region prompts corresponding character in the first character set, and slides into the first word in contactantOutside symbol collection region, the second character set region is determined based on the position of contactant in the first region again and is mentioned based on slideThe case where showing corresponding character in the second character set.However, the invention is not limited thereto, according to another embodiment of the invention,When contactant starts to contact with touch sensing unit 11, processing unit 12 determines contactant the by touch sensing unit 11Position in one region, and determine the first character set region corresponding with the position.Then processing unit 12 is based on determiningCorresponding first character set of the first character set regional choice, and by display unit 10 on the second area of display areaShow character set (hereinafter referred to as the first character set) corresponding with the first character set region.In this case, contactant withDuring touch sensing unit 11 is kept in contact, if showing the first character corresponding with the first character set region on the second regionWhile collection, processing unit 12 detects that contactant slides in first area, then processing unit 12 is based on contactant firstSlide on region determines character to be entered.In addition, processing unit 12 is mentioned on the second region by display unit 10Show character to be entered.
For example, can determine character to be entered based on the sliding position of contactant on the first region.In such caseUnder, after processing unit 12 has determined the first character set region and the first character set, in contactant and touch sensing unit 11During being kept in contact, processing unit 12 can individually be shown each in the first character set on the first region by display unit 10To prompt user, it is selecting the character in the first character set to a character.Here it is possible to be deposited in advance in information processing equipment 1Store up position and the corresponding relationship of each character in corresponding first character set in first area, and processing unit 12 can be withThe character in the first character set corresponding with the touch location in first area of contactant is determined according to the corresponding relationship.ThenProcessing unit 12 prompts identified character to be entered by display unit 10 on the second region.Further, it is also possible to based on slidingDirection and the amplitude of operation are moved to determine character to be entered.For example, being handled if contactant is slided to the left in the first regionUnit 12 can determine that character to be entered slides several characters from current character to the left based on sliding amplitude, or exist in contactantWhen sliding to the right in first area, processing unit 12 can determine that character to be entered slides to the right from current character based on sliding amplitudeSeveral characters.
In addition, in the case where arranging multiple characters in the first character set in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows in the first region,Corresponding character can be determined based on the position of contactant in the first region, be then based on the cunning of contactant in the first regionDynamic operation (e.g., position or on, under, left, right equal directions) determine character to be entered.
Then, processing unit 12 detects whether the slide of contactant on the first region stops.If processing unit12 times for determining that the slide of contactant on the first region stops were less than or equal to first threshold (e.g., 1-3 seconds), then handledUnit 12 continues to determine character to be entered based on the slide of contactant in the first region.In addition, if processing unit12 determine that the time that the slide of contactant on the first region stops is more than first threshold, then processing unit 12 is based on contactThe position of object exports character to be entered (character to be entered that slide determines before stopping).Then, processing unit 12 can be withThe slide of contactant on the first region is continued to test, and continues to determine next character to be entered.In addition, according to this hairAnother bright embodiment, if processing unit 12 determines that contactant makes deliberate action, processing unit on the first regionThe character to be entered that 12 outputs are determined based on slide of the contactant before making deliberate action, here preset at movement withUser selects the slide of character different.For example, the deliberate action, which can be contactant, leaves the dynamic of touch sensing unit 12Make.In this case, the character to be entered of output can be contactant before leaving touch sensing unit 12 that timeThe character to be entered that slide determines.Here, if the user desired that selecting the character in other character set, it can be used and connectTouching object is contacted again other character set regions on first area.In this case, the word can be determined in processing unit 12Symbol collection region and corresponding character set, and the character set is shown in second area by display unit 10.At this point, user can makeIt is slided on the first region with contactant to select the character to be entered in the character set.
Through the above configuration, after the first character set region being determined by the touch of contactant, according to contactantSlide in one region determines the character to be entered in the first character set.According to the present embodiment, due to first area rangeIt is larger, therefore contactant can slide in the larger context.In this case, slide in the larger context can for contactantTo further avoid the appearance of erroneous input.
The embodiment that touch sensing unit 11 is at least partly overlapped with display unit 10 is described above.However,The invention is not limited thereto, and touch sensing unit 11 can be separated from each other with display unit 10.For example, information processing equipment 1 can be withIt is there is the mobile phone of keyboard area, and the first area of touch sensing unit 11 can be with the keyboard region of information processing equipment 1Domain is overlapped.In this case, multiple characters in multiple character set regions and these character set regions can be printed on touchingOn the first area for touching sensing unit 11.For example, can be in a manner of key area in the first area of touch sensing unit 11The upper multiple character set regions of setting, and each character set region (key area) includes multiple characters.
Here, due to by way of contactant touch on the first region and sliding selection character set or character therewithPreceding description is similar, therefore only it is briefly described here.For example, according to one embodiment of present invention, can pass throughThe touch of contactant and first area determines the first character set region, and then the cunning according to contactant in the first character set regionDynamic operation determines and prompts character to be entered, and (e.g., pressing, contactant leave touch sensing unit based on preset operationEtc.) export the character to be entered.In addition, if detecting that contactant is sliding into outside the first character set region, then it is based on connecingThe sliding position of touching object determines the second character set region, and then true according to slide of the contactant in the second character set regionDetermine and prompt character to be entered, and based on preset operation (e.g., pressing, contactant leave touch sensing unit etc.) outputThe character to be entered.In addition, according to another embodiment of the invention, can be determined by the touch of contactant and first areaFirst character set region, so it is determining according to contactant slide in the first region and prompt character to be entered, andThe character to be entered is exported based on preset operation (e.g., pressing, contactant leave touch sensing unit etc.).Here, ifUser wishes to select the character in other character set, the user can be used contactant be contacted again it is other on first areaCharacter set region.At this point it is possible to determine the character set region and corresponding character set, and by display unit 10 in second areaIt shows the character set, and can be slided on the first region by contactant to select the word to be entered in the character setSymbol.In such a case, it is possible to should based on preset operation (e.g., pressing, contactant leave touch sensing unit etc.) outputCharacter to be entered.
Character display input method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described next, with reference to Fig. 3.Here, the method for Fig. 3 canTo be applied on information processing equipment shown in FIG. 1.The information processing equipment is with display unit and has first area simultaneouslyThe touch sensing unit of response is generated to the position of contactant in the first region.
As shown in figure 3, starting character input mode based on preset condition in step S301.
Specifically, as the description for Fig. 1, in the case where user has activated character input application, (e.g., use is shortLetter, microblogging etc. send out message), the processing unit 12 of information processing equipment 1 is based on preset condition and starts character input mode.ThisWhen, after starting character input mode, processing unit 12 can control first display unit 10 with touch sensing unit 11Multiple characters in multiple character set regions and multiple character set regions are shown on the corresponding display area in first area.ThisIn, under character input mode, first area can be character input region, and touch sensing unit 11 can be to contactantTouch location in the first area generates response.Under character input mode, first area may include multiple character set areasDomain, and these multiple character set regions are corresponding from different character set respectively.According to an embodiment of the invention, touch sensing listMember 11 can be at least partly overlapped with display unit 10.For example, first area is overlapped with the display area of display unit.ThisIn the case of, as long as the first area of touch sensing unit 11 is overlapped with the display area of display unit, display unit 12Under character input mode, multiple character set regions and multiple characters are shown on display area corresponding with the first areaCollect multiple characters in region.
In step S302, under character input mode, when the contactant starts to contact with the touch sensing unit,Position of the contactant in the first area, and the determining and position pair are determined by the touch sensing unitThe the first character set region answered.
Specifically, under character input mode, when contactant starts to contact with touch sensing unit 11, processing unit 12The position of contactant in the first region is determined by touch sensing unit 11, and determines character set corresponding with position areaDomain (the first character set region).For example, the position that can be stored in advance in information processing equipment 1 in first area with it is correspondingThe corresponding relationship in character set region, and processing unit 12 can be according to the determining touch location pair with contactant of the corresponding relationshipThe the first character set region answered.
In step S303, based on corresponding first character set of identified first character set regional choice, and pass through instituteIt states display unit and shows the first character set corresponding with first character set region on the second area of the display unit.Here, region corresponding with the first area and the second area are not overlapped on the display unit.
Specifically, processing unit 12 is based on corresponding first character set of identified first character set regional choice, andCharacter set (the first character corresponding with the first character set region is shown on the second area of display area by display unit 10Collection).Here, in order to keep display clearer, region corresponding with first area is not weighed with the second area on display unit 10It is folded.For example, as shown in Figure 2 A, first area and second area are separated from each other.
In step S304, during contactant and the touch sensing unit are kept in contact, biography is being touched based on contactantFeel the sliding on unit and determine character to be entered from the first character set, and through display unit on the second areaThe character to be entered.
Specifically, during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contact, processing unit 12 is based on contactant and is touchingIt touches the sliding on sensing unit and determines character to be entered from the first character set, and by display unit 10 in second areaUpper prompt character to be entered.
For example, step S304 may further include: if shown on the second region corresponding with the first character set regionThe first character set while, detect that contactant slides in the first character set region, then based on contactant in the first characterSlide on collection region determines character to be entered, and prompts word to be entered on the second region by display unitSymbol.
Specifically, according to one embodiment of present invention, during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contact,The first character set corresponding with the first character set region is shown on the second area of display unit 10.At this point, if processing unit12 detect that contactant slides in the first character set region, then processing unit 12 is based on contactant on the first character set regionSlide determine character to be entered.For example, can be true based on sliding position of the contactant on the first character set regionFixed character to be entered.Then processing unit 12 prompts identified word to be entered by display unit 10 on the second regionSymbol.For example, as shown in Figure 2 A, if character set region (abcdefg) is touched in contactant, the second of display unit 10Display character set corresponding with symbol collection region (abcdefg) on region.At this point, being connect in contactant and the holding of touch sensing unit 11During touching, if processing unit 12 detects that contactant slides in the character set region, processing unit 12 is based on contactantSliding position on character set region determines character to be entered (e.g., b).Then processing unit 12 is existed by display unit 10Character to be entered determined by being prompted on second area.Here, prompting mode is not limited to the example of Fig. 2A, for example, it is also possible to logicalCross highlight, the mode that makes character to be entered become larger or deform is prompted.In addition, according to another embodiment of the invention,Direction and the amplitude of slide are also based on to determine character to be entered.For example, if contactant is in character set region(abcdefg) it is slided to the left in, then processing unit 12 can determine that character to be entered is slided to the left from current character based on sliding amplitudeSeveral characters are moved, or when contactant is slided to the right in character set region (abcdefg), processing unit 12 can be based on slidingAmplitude determines that character to be entered slides to the right several characters from current character.In addition, the example of first area and second area is notThe case where being limited to Fig. 2A.For example, as shown in Figure 2 B, specific character collection can be shown in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows in the second areaIn content.Here, due to character to be entered is determined based on slide and prompt the mode of the character to be entered with beforeDescription it is similar, which is not described herein again.Furthermore it is also possible to which multiple character set are arranged in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows in the first regionRegion, and multiple characters are arranged in the form of multiple lines and multiple rows in each character set region.In such a case, it is possible to be based onThe position of contactant in the first region determines corresponding character set region, is then based on sliding of the contactant in the character setOperation (e.g., position or on, under, left, right equal directions) determine character to be entered.
In the case where character to be entered has been determined, user can export identified to be entered according to scheduled movementCharacter.In this case, the step of Fig. 3 can also include: if it is determined that sliding of the contactant on the first character set regionThe time that operation stops is more than first threshold, then the position based on contactant exports character to be entered.
Specifically, processing unit 12 detects whether slide of the contactant on the first character set region stops.IfThe time that processing unit 12 determines that slide of the contactant on the first character set region stops is less than or equal to first threshold(e.g., 1-3 seconds), then processing unit 12 continues to determine based on slide of the contactant in the first character set region to be enteredCharacter.In addition, if the time that processing unit 12 determines that slide of the contactant on the first character set region stops is more thanFirst threshold, then processing unit 12 based on the position of contactant export character to be entered (slide stop before determine toInput character).Then, processing unit 12 can continue to test slide of the contactant on the first character set region, and afterIt is continuous to determine next character to be entered.
In addition, the step of Fig. 3 can also include: if it is determined that contactant makes default move on the first character set regionMake, then exports the character to be entered that the slide based on contactant before making deliberate action determines.Here, deliberate actionSelect the slide of character different from user.
Specifically, it if processing unit 12 determines that contactant makes deliberate action on the first character set region, handlesThe character to be entered that the output of unit 12 is determined based on slide of the contactant before making deliberate action, here presets at movementSelect the slide of character different from user.For example, the deliberate action, which can be contactant, leaves touch sensing unit 12Movement.In this case, the character to be entered of output can be contactant that time before leaving touch sensing unit 12Slide determine character to be entered.In addition, when first area is shown in Fig. 2A, due to by horizontally slippingDetermine character to be entered, therefore preset movement can also be and slide up and down.In this case, the character to be entered of outputIt can be the character to be entered that the slide of that time before contactant makes deliberate action determines.
In addition, in the case where contactant slides into outside the first character set region from the first character set region, the method for Fig. 3If can also include: while showing the first character set corresponding with the first character set region on the second region, to detectContactant is sliding into outside the first character set region, then determines the second character set region based on the sliding position of contactant, andShow the second character set corresponding with the second character set region on the second region by display unit.
Specifically, if show the first character set corresponding with the first character set region on the second region, placeReason unit 12 detects that contactant is sliding into outside the first character set region, then sliding position of the processing unit 12 based on contactantDetermine the second character set region.Here, processing unit 12 can the sliding position and pre-stored first based on contactantPosition in region determines another character set in addition to the first character set region with the corresponding relationship in corresponding character set regionRegion (the second character set region), and determine character set (the second character set) corresponding with the second character set region.At thisIn the case of kind, processing unit 12 shows the second word corresponding with the second character set region by display unit 10 on the second regionSymbol collection.By the above-mentioned means, from the user's point of view, if contactant be moved to from the first character set region it is another in first areaPosition, then processing unit 12 determines the second character set region corresponding with the another location, and shows on display unit 10The second character set corresponding with the second character set region.At this point, locating if contactant slides in the second character set regionReason unit 12 can determine the character to be entered in the second character set based on the slide of contactant.
By the above-mentioned means, can determine character set region, and then basis by the touch and slide of contactantSlide of the contactant in character set region determines character to be entered.In this case, it is accidentally touched even if user produces,It can also be corrected by slide and accidentally be touched.In addition, due to during slide contactant without departing from touch sensing unit 11,Therefore the time needed for contactant is clicked is saved, is rapidly input so as to realize.
It is described above and the first character set region is determined according to the position of contactant in the first region, existed based on userSlide in first character set region prompts corresponding character in the first character set, and slides into the first word in contactantOutside symbol collection region, the second character set region is determined based on the position of contactant in the first region again and is mentioned based on slideThe case where showing corresponding character in the second character set.However, the invention is not limited thereto, according to another embodiment of the invention,If the step S304 of Fig. 3 can also include: to show the first character set corresponding with the first character set region on the second regionWhile, detect that contactant slides in the first area, then the sliding behaviour based on contactant on the first areaMake to determine character to be entered；And prompt character to be entered on the second region by display unit.
Specifically, during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contact, if display and the on the second regionWhile corresponding first character set in one character set region, processing unit 12 detects that contactant slides in first area, thenProcessing unit 12 determines character to be entered based on the slide of contactant on the first region.In addition, processing unit 12 is logicalIt crosses display unit 10 and prompts character to be entered on the second region.For example, can be based on the cunning of contactant on the first regionDynamic position determines character to be entered.In this case, the first character set region and the first word has been determined in processing unit 12After symbol collection, during contactant and touch sensing unit 11 are kept in contact, processing unit 12 can be existed by display unit 10Individually show that it is selecting the word in the first character set to each character in the first character set to prompt user on first areaSymbol.Here it is possible to the position being stored in advance in information processing equipment 1 in first area with it is each in corresponding first character setThe corresponding relationship of a character, and processing unit 12 can be according to the determining touching in first area with contactant of the corresponding relationshipTouch the character in corresponding first character set in position.Then processing unit 12 prompts institute by display unit 10 on the second regionDetermining character to be entered.Further, it is also possible to determine character to be entered based on the direction of slide and amplitude.For example,If contactant is slided to the left in the first region, processing unit 12 can determine character to be entered from current based on sliding amplitudeCharacter slides several characters to the left, or when contactant is slided to the right in the first region, processing unit 12 can be based on slidingAmplitude determines that character to be entered slides to the right several characters from current character.In addition, in the first region with the shape of multiple lines and multiple rowsIn the case that formula arranges multiple characters in the first character set, it can be determined and be corresponded to based on the position of contactant in the first regionCharacter, be then based on contactant in the first region slide (e.g., position or on, under, left, right equal directions) determineCharacter to be entered.
In addition, the method for Fig. 3 can also include: if it is determined that the cunning of contactant on the first region according to the present embodimentThe time that dynamic operation stops is more than first threshold, then the position based on contactant exports character to be entered.
Specifically, processing unit 12 detects whether the slide of contactant on the first region stops.If processing is singleThe time that member 12 determines that the slide of contactant on the first region stops is less than or equal to first threshold (e.g., 1-3 seconds), then locatesReason unit 12 continues to determine character to be entered based on the slide of contactant in the first region.In addition, if processing is singleMember 12 determines that the time that the slide of contactant on the first region stops is more than first threshold, then processing unit 12 is based on connecingThe position of touching object exports character to be entered (character to be entered that slide determines before stopping).Then, processing unit 12 canTo continue to test the slide of contactant on the first region, and continue to determine next character to be entered.
In addition, the method for Fig. 3 can also include: if it is determined that contactant is made on the first region according to the present embodimentDeliberate action then exports the character to be entered that the slide based on contactant before making deliberate action determines.Here, in advanceIf movement selects the slide of character different from user.
Specifically, if processing unit 12 determines that contactant makes deliberate action, processing unit 12 on the first regionThe character to be entered determined based on the slide before making deliberate action of contactant is exported, movement is here preset at and is usedFamily selects the slide of character different.For example, the deliberate action can be the movement that contactant leaves touch sensing unit 12.In this case, the sliding of the character to be entered of output that time that can be contactant before leaving touch sensing unit 12Operate determining character to be entered.
Through the above configuration, after the first character set region being determined by the touch of contactant, according to contactantSlide in one region determines the character to be entered in the first character set.According to the present embodiment, due to first area rangeIt is larger, therefore contactant can slide in the larger context.In this case, slide in the larger context can for contactantTo further avoid the appearance of erroneous input.
It is described above in the case where touch sensing unit 11 is at least partly overlapped with display unit 10, according toThe character display input method (method of Fig. 3) of the embodiment of the present invention.However, the invention is not limited thereto, information processing equipment 1 is alsoIt may include the case where touch sensing unit 11 can be separated from each other with display unit 10.For example, information processing equipment 1 can beMobile phone with keyboard area, and the first area of touch sensing unit 11 can be with the keyboard area of information processing equipment 1It is overlapped.At this point, multiple characters in multiple character set regions and these character set regions can be printed on touch sensing unitOn 11 first area.Here, the character display input method due to the execution of information processing equipment 1 and step class shown in Fig. 3Seemingly, therefore which is not described herein again.
Each embodiment of the invention has been described in detail above.However, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that not taking offIn the case where from the principle and spirit of the invention, these embodiments can be carry out various modifications, combination or sub-portfolio, and in this wayModification should fall within the scope of the present invention.
