在前述步驟S2中偵測到複數觸碰訊號後,分析模 組40會取得各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置之坐標或位置參數,以及隨機圖樣中各個提示區域之顯示位置之坐標或位置參數,以便將前述二者之位置對應關係進行分析比對,來判斷各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置是否對應隨機圖樣中各提示區域。 After detecting the plurality of touch signals in the foregoing step S2, the analysis mode The group 40 obtains the coordinates or position parameters of the touch positions of the touch signals, and the coordinates or position parameters of the display positions of the respective hint areas in the random pattern, so as to analyze and compare the positional correspondences of the two to determine Whether the touch position of each touch signal corresponds to each prompt area in the random pattern.

如圖3(d)所示,當分析模組40判斷使用者所輸入 之各觸碰訊號均位於隨機圖樣之各個提示區域內,且各個提示區域內之提示位置數量與對應該提示區域之觸碰訊號數量相符時,即可確認各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置對應隨機圖樣中各提示區域。若是分析模組40判斷使用者所輸入之各觸碰訊號並非皆位於隨機圖樣之各個提示區域內,或是各個提示區域內之提示位置數量與對應該提示區域之觸碰訊號數量不符時,即可確認各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置並未對應隨機圖樣中各提示區域。若分析模組40判斷各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置對應目前所顯示之隨機圖樣之各提示區域,則續行步驟S4;若分析模組40判斷各觸碰訊號之觸碰位置並未對應目前所顯示之隨機圖樣之各提示區域,則回到步驟S2以重新偵測新的觸碰訊號。 As shown in FIG. 3(d), when the analysis module 40 determines that the user inputs Each touch signal is located in each prompt area of the random pattern, and the number of the prompt positions in each prompt area matches the number of touch signals corresponding to the prompt area, so that the touch position of each touch signal is correspondingly random. Each hint area in the drawing. If the analysis module 40 determines that the touch signals input by the user are not all located in the respective prompt areas of the random pattern, or the number of the prompt positions in the respective prompt areas does not match the number of touch signals corresponding to the prompt area, It can be confirmed that the touch position of each touch signal does not correspond to each prompt area in the random pattern. If the analysis module 40 determines that the touch position of each touch signal corresponds to each prompt area of the currently displayed random pattern, then step S4 is continued; if the analysis module 40 determines that the touch position of each touch signal does not correspond to the current After each hint area of the displayed random pattern, the process returns to step S2 to re-detect the new touch signal.

步驟S4:解除顯示模組之螢幕鎖定狀態。 Step S4: Release the screen lock state of the display module.

若如圖3(d)所示,使用者已輸入正確之複數觸碰訊 號,則控制模組50會解除顯示模組目前之螢幕鎖定狀態,而回到如圖3(a)所示之使用者介面,以供使用者能繼續透過顯示模組20輸入觸控指令以操作本發明之電子裝置1。 If shown in Figure 3(d), the user has entered the correct plural touch. The control module 50 will release the current screen lock state of the display module and return to the user interface as shown in FIG. 3( a ) for the user to continue to input touch commands through the display module 20 . The electronic device 1 of the present invention is operated.

據此,使用者只需要如同一般使用狀態以手握持本 發明之電子裝置1,並依據顯示模組20之隨機圖樣將手指觸碰裝置本體10之側面之對應位置,即可完成電子裝置1之螢幕解鎖操作,無需再針對顯示模組20執行任何觸控操作。 According to this, the user only needs to hold the hand as in the normal use state. In the electronic device 1 of the present invention, the screen unlocking operation of the electronic device 1 can be completed by touching the finger to the corresponding position of the side of the device body 10 according to the random pattern of the display module 20, and no need to perform any touch on the display module 20 operating.

請一併參考圖5及圖6。圖5是應用本發明之螢幕解鎖 方法之電子裝置1a第二實施例之系統方塊圖;圖6是對本發明之電子裝置1a之顯示模組20執行區域分割之示意圖。本實施例為前述第一實施例之變化形式,如圖5所示,在本實施例中,本發明之電子裝置1a更包括方位感測模組60,其電性連接控制模組50。方位感測模組60用以偵測裝置本體10目前所對應之擺設位置或方向及其改變,並傳送相關資訊至控制模組50。當隨機圖樣顯示於顯示模組20時,本發明之電子裝置1a會依據方位感測模組60來感測裝置本體10之擺設位置或方向,以因應改變隨機圖樣之圖樣方向。此處方位感測模組60可以是陀螺儀、重力感測器(G-sensor)、數位羅盤或其他具類似功能之感測元件。 Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 together. Figure 5 is a screen unlocking application of the present invention The system block diagram of the second embodiment of the electronic device 1a of the method; and FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the area division of the display module 20 of the electronic device 1a of the present invention. The embodiment is a variation of the foregoing first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the electronic device 1a of the present invention further includes an orientation sensing module 60 electrically connected to the control module 50. The position sensing module 60 is configured to detect the position or direction of the device body 10 and the change thereof, and transmit related information to the control module 50. When the random pattern is displayed on the display module 20, the electronic device 1a of the present invention senses the position or direction of the device body 10 according to the orientation sensing module 60, so as to change the direction of the pattern of the random pattern. Here, the orientation sensing module 60 can be a gyroscope, a G-sensor, a digital compass or other sensing elements with similar functions.

而在本實施例中,為了達到前述改變隨機圖樣之圖 樣方向之效果,本發明之電子裝置1a會設定將顯示模組20四周之所有邊緣部位分割為N個區域,且N為偶數。之後將顯示模組20基於通過其中心點之一線段分為彼此對稱之二等分,且使得各等分包括N/2個區域。接著定義任一等分內之任一區域於另一等分中均可找到一對稱區域,也就是說,在任一等分內之一區域一定會與另一等分內之另一區域互為對稱。 In the present embodiment, in order to achieve the aforementioned change of the random pattern In the effect of the sample direction, the electronic device 1a of the present invention is configured to divide all edge portions around the display module 20 into N regions, and N is an even number. The display module 20 is then divided into two equal divisions based on one line segment through its center point, and such that each division includes N/2 regions. Then define any region within any aliquot to find a symmetrical region in another aliquot, that is, one region within any aliquot must be mutually interacted with another region within another aliquot symmetry.

如圖6所示,假設顯示模組20四周之所有邊緣部 位被分割為12個區域Z1至Z12,且位於同一邊緣部位上之該些 區域大小相等(例如Z4、Z5、Z6具有相同大小)。在本實施例中,以通過顯示模組20之中心點O之對角線L為例,來將顯示模組20分為彼此對稱之第一等分P1及第二等分P2,且第一等分P1及第二等分P2各包括6個區域(例如第一等分P1包括區域Z1至Z6,第二等分P2包括區域Z7至Z12)。需注意的是,通過顯示模組20之中心點O之該線段並不以對角線L為限。 As shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that all the edges of the display module 20 are around The bit is divided into 12 regions Z1 to Z12, and these are located on the same edge portion The areas are of equal size (eg Z4, Z5, Z6 have the same size). In the embodiment, the display module 20 is divided into a first halved P1 and a second halved P2 that are symmetric with each other by taking the diagonal line L passing through the center point O of the display module 20 as an example, and first. The aliquot P1 and the second aliquot P2 each include 6 regions (for example, the first aliquot P1 includes regions Z1 to Z6, and the second aliquot P2 includes regions Z7 to Z12). It should be noted that the line segment passing through the center point O of the display module 20 is not limited to the diagonal line L.

在此設計下,可定義第一等分P1內之任一區域與 第二等分P2內之另一區域互為對稱(例如第二等分P2之區域Z7為第一等分P1之區域Z1之對稱區域,第二等分P2之區域Z8為第一等分P1之區域Z2之對稱區域…第二等分P2之區域Z12為第一等分P1之區域Z6之對稱區域等)。而當藉由顯示模組20顯示隨機圖樣時,該隨機圖樣中之任一提示區域則對應N個區域中之其中一者。 In this design, you can define any region within the first aliquot P1 and The other region in the second aliquot P2 is symmetrical with each other (for example, the region Z7 of the second aliquot P2 is the symmetrical region of the region Z1 of the first aliquot P1, and the region Z8 of the second quintile P2 is the first aliquot P1 The symmetrical region of the region Z2, the region Z12 of the second aliquot P2 is the symmetrical region of the region Z6 of the first aliquot P1, and the like. When the random pattern is displayed by the display module 20, any of the hint regions in the random pattern corresponds to one of the N regions.

前述定義區域對稱之方式,除了以線段劃分對稱之 二等分外,在本發明之另一實施態樣中,若顯示模組20四周之所有邊緣部位分割為N個區域,且N為偶數,則直接將第N個區域及第N/2個區域(在本實施例中為區域Z12及Z6)互為對稱區域,而以第N個區域及第N/2個區域為起點,沿相同方向(如逆時針方向)依序找出之相鄰第N-m個區域及第(N/2)-m個區域(m等於1到(N/2)-1),即為彼此互為對稱之二區域(例如區域Z11及Z5、區域Z10及Z4、…區域Z7及Z1等)。 The aforementioned way of defining the symmetry of the region, except that the symmetry is divided by line segments. In another embodiment of the present invention, if all the edge portions around the display module 20 are divided into N regions, and N is an even number, the Nth region and the N/2th portions are directly used. The regions (the regions Z12 and Z6 in this embodiment) are mutually symmetric regions, and the Nth region and the N/2th region are used as starting points, and the adjacent directions are sequentially found in the same direction (such as counterclockwise direction). The Nmth region and the (N/2)-m regions (m is equal to 1 to (N/2)-1), that is, two regions that are symmetrical with each other (for example, regions Z11 and Z5, regions Z10 and Z4, ...zone Z7 and Z1, etc.).

請一併參考圖7(a)及圖7(b)。圖7(a)是本發明之電 子裝置1a第二實施例顯示隨機圖樣A’之示意圖;圖7(b)是本發明之電子裝置1a第二實施例於旋轉180度後顯示隨機圖樣A’之示意圖。 Please refer to Figure 7(a) and Figure 7(b) together. Figure 7 (a) is the electricity of the present invention The second embodiment of the sub-device 1a shows a schematic diagram of the random pattern A'; and Fig. 7(b) is a diagram showing the second embodiment of the electronic apparatus 1a of the present invention displaying the random pattern A' after being rotated by 180 degrees.

如圖7(a)所示,假設電子裝置1a藉由顯示模組20 顯示隨機圖樣A’,此隨機圖樣A’包括第一提示區域a、第二提示區域b及第三提示區域c,分別位於不同之邊緣部位21、22、23。其中第一提示區域a對應於區域Z3,第二提示區域b對應於 區域Z4,第三提示區域c對應於區域Z11。在此狀態下,當使用者拿起電子裝置1a時,只要以手指同時觸碰對應於區域Z3、Z4及Z11之裝置本體10之對應位置(如圖中箭頭所指之位置),即可解除顯示模組20之鎖定狀態。反之,若是未同時觸碰前述三個位置或觸碰到其他區域之對應位置,則顯示模組20繼續保持其鎖定狀態。 As shown in FIG. 7( a ), it is assumed that the electronic device 1 a is used by the display module 20 A random pattern A' is displayed. The random pattern A' includes a first hint area a, a second hint area b, and a third hint area c, respectively located at different edge portions 21, 22, 23. The first prompt area a corresponds to the area Z3, and the second prompt area b corresponds to the area The region Z4, the third hint region c corresponds to the region Z11. In this state, when the user picks up the electronic device 1a, the finger corresponding to the corresponding position of the device body 10 corresponding to the regions Z3, Z4, and Z11 (the position indicated by the arrow in the figure) can be released at the same time by the finger. The lock state of the module 20 is displayed. On the other hand, if the three positions are not touched at the same time or the corresponding positions of other areas are touched, the display module 20 continues to maintain its locked state.

如圖7(b)所示,假設使用者拿起電子裝置1a時,電 子裝置1a旋轉了180度(即電子裝置1a呈現倒置之狀態);此時方位感測模組160在偵測到裝置本體10之方位產生變化後,便會通知控制模組50,而控制模組50會將顯示於顯示模組20之隨機圖樣A’同樣旋轉180度。此時雖然顯示相同之隨機圖樣A’,但隨機圖樣A’之該些提示區域已改變其對應之各區域。 例如在本實施例中,第一提示區域a由原先對應於區域Z11改變為對應於區域Z5,而位於邊緣部位23;第二提示區域b由原先對應於區域Z4改變為對應於區域Z10,而位於邊緣部位22;而第三提示區域c由原先對應於區域Z3改變為對應於區域Z9,而位於邊緣部位24。也就是說,原先隨機圖樣A’之各提示區域所對應之各區域會改變為各區域之對稱區域。 As shown in FIG. 7(b), it is assumed that when the user picks up the electronic device 1a, the power is The sub-device 1a is rotated by 180 degrees (that is, the electronic device 1a is in an inverted state); at this time, the orientation sensing module 160 notifies the control module 50 after detecting the change of the orientation of the device body 10, and the control module Group 50 will also rotate the random pattern A' displayed on display module 20 by 180 degrees. At this time, although the same random pattern A' is displayed, the hint regions of the random pattern A' have changed their corresponding regions. For example, in the present embodiment, the first cue area a is changed from the original corresponding area Z11 to the area Z5, and is located at the edge part 23; the second cue area b is changed from the original corresponding area Z4 to the corresponding area Z10. Located at the edge portion 22; and the third cue region c is changed from the original corresponding region Z3 to correspond to the region Z9 and to the edge portion 24. That is to say, the respective regions corresponding to the respective hint regions of the original random pattern A' are changed to the symmetrical regions of the respective regions.

在此狀態下,當使用者反向拿起電子裝置1a時, 只要以手指同時觸碰對應於區域Z5、Z9及Z10之裝置本體10之對應位置(如圖中箭頭所指之位置),一樣能解除顯示模組20之螢幕鎖定狀態,無需將電子裝置1a之裝置本體10再旋轉180度後才能進行解鎖,以提高螢幕解鎖時之便利性。 In this state, when the user picks up the electronic device 1a in reverse, As long as the finger touches the corresponding position of the device body 10 corresponding to the regions Z5, Z9 and Z10 at the same time (as indicated by the arrow in the figure), the screen lock state of the display module 20 can be released, without the electronic device 1a being The device body 10 can be unlocked after being rotated by another 180 degrees to improve the convenience of unlocking the screen.

需注意的是,本發明之方法不僅能應用於解除螢幕 鎖定,亦能藉由相同方式,於判斷使用者觸碰裝置本體之側面之正確對應位置後,執行裝置或任意應用程式之其他功能指令,例如確認執行裝置關機操作、應用程式之特殊功能執行等,本發明不以此為限。 It should be noted that the method of the present invention can be applied not only to the release of the screen. Locking, in the same way, after determining that the user touches the correct corresponding position on the side of the device body, executing other functional commands of the device or any application, such as confirming the shutdown operation of the executing device, performing special functions of the application, etc. The invention is not limited thereto.

綜上所陳,本發明無論就目的、手段及功效,在在 均顯示其迥異於習知技術之特徵。惟須注意,上述實施例僅為例示性說明本發明之原理及其功效,而非用於限制本發明之範圍。任何熟於此項技藝之人士均可在不違背本發明之技術原理及精神下,對實施例作修改與變化。本發明之權利保護範圍應如後述之申請專利範圍所述。 In summary, the present invention is in terms of purpose, means and efficacy.
