Embodiment
Below with reference to some illustrative embodiments principle of the present invention and spirit are described.Should be appreciated that providing these embodiments only is for those skilled in the art can being understood better and then realize the present invention, and be not to limit the scope of the invention by any way.
Fig. 1 has schematically shown the synoptic diagram of conventional handheld.This handheld device is equipped with the several buttons on screen, the touch inductor above the screen and the panel usually.Particularly, handheld device includes but not limited to following equipment: mobile phone, hand-held game machine, hand-held music player, handheld video player, hand-held electronic book, personal digital assistant.
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 have schematically shown the synoptic diagram of operation with traditional handheld device.When both hands were all free, the user is operating equipment with the hands.Handing for one has this equipment, and another hand pen or this equipment of finger manipulation.The advantage of this method of operating is: can easily arrive the All Ranges of touch-screen, thereby make the user and the software that moves can be naturally and cooperation efficiently in this equipment.But the inferior position of this method of operating is: this method need be used two hand co-operate (that is, this equipment will take two hands), when the user uses this equipment of bimanualness, is difficult to be engaged in other things again; And when second hand was placed on the touch-screen and operates this equipment, this hand itself was exactly barrier, and it has limited the user and has watched full content on the screen, so this hand must often move on the touch-screen and from touch-screen and remove, and is irksome.
The synoptic diagram of the opereating specification of thumb when Fig. 4 has schematically shown the one-handed performance conventional handheld.When hand non-when free (for example, when taking subway, the situation that the another hand need hold the handrail), the user must be only hand-heldly has and operating equipment with one.The advantage of this method of operating is: this equipment has only taken a hand, and the another hand can freely be engaged in other things, and this is very common in daily life.But, the inferior position of this method of operating is: thumb is the unique available finger for this equipment of operation, but thumb is limited (shown in the shadow region among Fig. 4) in the opereating specification on the touch-screen, thumb only can arrive the very fraction of touch-screen, along with device screen becomes increasing, the operation of equipment with big touch-screen is become more and more difficult; And when thumb was placed on the touch-screen and operates this equipment, this thumb itself was barrier equally, and its limited subscriber is watched the full content on the screen, so thumb must often move on the touch-screen and from touch-screen and remove, and is irksome equally.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B have schematically shown the synoptic diagram of the handheld device of one-hand operation according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention.According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the handheld device of this one-hand operation for example can comprise: main body; Be positioned at first touch induction device of described main body one side, be configured to be subjected to first touch and generate corresponding first signal in response at least a portion of described first touch induction device; And processor, be configured to carry out corresponding first function in response to corresponding first signal.
Alternatively or additionally, in an illustrative embodiments, the handheld device of this one-hand operation for example further comprises second touch induction device that is positioned at described main body opposite side, is configured to be subjected to second touch and generate corresponding secondary signal in response at least a portion of described second touch induction device; Wherein said processor also is configured to carry out corresponding second function in response to corresponding secondary signal.Usually, this handheld device can use the right hand to operate, but the embodiments of the present invention support left hand to operate equally.This is symmetrical because of first touch induction device and second touch induction device, and both hands also are symmetrical, therefore is easy to change this equipment into left hand from the right hand.Then, will discuss as example with the operation of the right hand with the lower part originally contextual.
In addition, in an illustrative embodiments, at least one in wherein said first touch induction device and described second touch induction device for example can comprise following at least one: touch pad, trace ball, operating rod.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that being for the purpose of illustration only property of touch induction device mentioned above explanation and be not be used to limiting the scope of the invention.
In an illustrative embodiments, wherein said first touches the following at least a action at least a portion for example can be included in described first touch induction device: to lower slider, upwards slide, slide on down, slide up and down, click, double-click, long by.
In an illustrative embodiments, wherein said second touches the following at least a action at least a portion be included in described second touch induction device: click, double-click, long by, multi-point touch.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that it only is as example that first touch mentioned above and second touches, and can also adopt other touch manners in actual applications.
Fig. 6 to Figure 11 has schematically shown the synoptic diagram of the gesture of the handheld device that is used for one-hand operation according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention.Below, to describe first touch and second mentioned above in detail in conjunction with Fig. 6 to Figure 11 and touch, the gesture of its middle finger touches corresponding to first, and the gesture of other four fingers touches corresponding to second.Fig. 6 has schematically shown the acquiescence mode of holding equipment, and thumb is placed at least a portion of first touch induction device; Forefinger is positioned at the back side (finger tip is invisible), middle finger and nameless being placed at least a portion of second touch induction device; And little finger of toe is positioned at the bottom of this equipment.
In five fingers, thumb is the quickest finger, so the agility that each illustrative embodiments of the present invention takes full advantage of thumb is operated this equipment.This equipment is pointed as the main operation finger and other fingers thumb as non-productive operation.
The gesture that is used for thumb has:
1) thumb lower slider gesture: initial thumb is positioned at the higher position (Fig. 6) at least a portion of first touch induction device, then the thumb lower slider is to lower position (Fig. 7), and last thumb leaves at least a portion (Figure 10) of first touch induction device from this lower position.The movement of this gesture shown in the accompanying drawing is: Fig. 6 → Fig. 7 → Figure 10.This gesture is the thumb lower slider.
