In the busy and compact life of modern people, everything is about convenience and efficiency. It has become a very common habit. For example, the financial machine or personal digital assistant is the example of Wei, and in addition to the features of the powerful and lightweight body, the middle of the money will hope to open and execute the required functions in a very short time. . This is especially true for features that are more commonly used by users, such as writing a newsletter or querying a call log. When using the operator (4), if you can quickly (four) start some phase functions, it is bound to improve the convenience of the handheld | In order to meet the above requirements, the manufacturer of the handheld device at the beginning of the design, = on the keyboard or the casing of the hand-held device, the corresponding common functions

For example, some mobile phone manufacturing axes will set __ button to turn on camera power month b on the side of the phone. § When the user presses this button, the camera function of the hand can be activated immediately. However, under the trend of lighter and lighter handheld devices, there is very limited space for manufacturing Weishang to set hotkeys. In addition, the user = can not be ignored, in order to ensure the simplicity / aesthetics of the handheld device, the manufacturer must design the number of 5 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 2441 Otwf.doc / n hotkeys Therefore, only a small number of hot keys can be used to achieve the need to quickly connect frequently used functions.

正因如此，在手持裝置中僅有極少部分的功能具有對 應的熱鍵可供使用者快速開啟。但當使用者欲執行沒有對 應之熱鍵的功能時，則必須透過操作選單的方式來進行開 啟動作。由於手持裝置的選單多半為樹狀結構’其中選單 大多顯示會在手持裝置的顯示器上，因此使用者可能需要 在與顯示器重疊的觸控感應裝置上對顯示器所顯示的使用 者介面進行點選進入多個子選單後，方能找到需要的功能 選項。對於某些車父常使用的功能來說，若每次都必須透過 上述方式來開啟執行，勢必會耗費許多操作時間，據此將 造成使用上的諸多不便。 一般而言，目前使用者大都是利用手指或觸控筆與觸 控感應裝置之間所產生的接觸或感應行為來進行點選動 作-但在k的手持裝置上，不論是透過手指還是觸控筆 進行點選，㈣裝置上所提供之使时介面絲對應的區 別(如圖6所示之❹者介面）。但是#使用者分別在利用 手指及觸鮮_域縣置進行輪人時會具有不同的輸 入特徵；-絲賴控筆會較㈣者的手絲得精準，所 =夠在制者介面上進行較為精密的操控，例如在顯示 =顯示㈣虛擬鍵盤场字或在㈣較密集的選單上進 °但另—方面’在觸控感應裝置上直接以手指進行 後时來說是較為直覺、快速及方便的，因為可以 去抽取觸控筆的動作並且以單手就可進行操作，儘管手 6 1353544 HTC95088^-TW 24410twf.doc/n 指與觸控感應裝置的接觸而接 使用者介面上其他面積會較大’也較容易因而誤觸 述’目前—般的手持裝置具有—些缺點，其~ :的某些特定魏需要使用者展開層層的 。其二是使用者在-般手持裝置上所 使时心上進行操作時，利關控筆進行操控會 較為1活，舰用者來說較為賴，而·手指進行操作 的話使时來說較為方便，但馳的靈活度下降^容 易產生销，對伽者來說，無論使 很難達到❺全其美。 都 因此’若手持裝置能夠針對不同的輸入工具，座 使用者不_躺或操作方式，例如使關控筆時，手持 適於觸控筆使用之—種應用或操作方式，而ΐ ί =，時’手持裝置具有適於手指使用之另—種應用= 作方式’贼时在如手錄置時會倍歧利。另外 如何在這衫_翻麵作枝巾進 所延伸出來的課題。 仏疋田此 =卜’ f知手難㈣外殼通常緊鄰控峨示器的續 不-邊緣，且#父控觸示控感應平面凸出許多Because of this, only a small portion of the functions in the handheld device have corresponding hot keys for the user to quickly turn on. However, when the user wants to perform a function that does not have a corresponding hot key, the user must start the operation by operating the menu. Since the menu of the handheld device is mostly a tree structure, wherein most of the menus are displayed on the display of the handheld device, the user may need to click on the user interface displayed on the display on the touch sensing device overlapping the display. After multiple sub-menus, you can find the desired function options. For some functions that are often used by the car, if you have to open the execution in the above way, it will inevitably take a lot of operation time, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in use. In general, most users currently use the contact or sensing behavior between a finger or a stylus and a touch sensing device to perform a click operation - but on a handheld device, whether through a finger or a touch The pen performs the selection, and (4) the difference of the timing interface wire provided on the device (as shown in Figure 6). However, #users will have different input characteristics when using the finger and touch the _ domain county to carry out the round people; - the silk control pen will be more accurate than the (four) hand, which is enough to be compared on the maker interface. Precise control, such as in the display = display (four) virtual keyboard field words or on the (four) denser menu, but the other side - is more intuitive, fast and convenient when directly on the touch sensor device with a finger Because the stylus can be extracted and operated with one hand, although the hand 6 1353544 HTC95088^-TW 24410twf.doc/n refers to contact with the touch sensing device and connects to other areas on the user interface. Larger 'is also easier and therefore misunderstood' current handheld devices have some drawbacks, some of which require a user to expand layers. The second is that when the user operates on the hand-held device, the control of the control pen will be more active, and the ship user is more dependent, and the finger operation is more important. Convenience, but the flexibility of Chi is reduced. It is easy to produce a pin. For the Gaya, it is difficult to achieve the best. Therefore, if the handheld device can be used for different input tools, the user does not lie or operate, for example, when the pen is turned off, the application or operation mode suitable for the stylus is used, and ί ί =, When the 'handheld device has another application suitable for finger use = the way to do it, the thief will be confused when it is recorded.

當使用者利用輸入工具對手持裝置進行操作時，首先 =驟m所示’手縣置在—個使用者介面中接收輸入 接著在步驟12〇中，根據輸入工具接觸或接近觸控 感應襞置時，觸控感應裝置所感應的面積、壓力、溫度、 或影像，據以判斷輸人工具的工具種類。、最後如步ς^30 所7Γ手持裝置根據王具種類的不同，轉換並顯示對應的 使用者介面。 立八需注意的是，上述之操作方法可被分為兩部分，其一 部分為辨識輪入工具之種類的方法（即步驟110及步驟 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n 120)，其二部分為利用辨識結果進行應用之方法（即步驟 130)。也就是說，在圖1所示的方法流程當中，本發明至 少提供了包含步驟110及步驟120的辨識方法，而在步驟 120之後的步驟則可視實際應用需求加以設計。圖1中的 步驟130僅用以分別表示應用上的一種實施例(使用者介 面的轉換）。在本實施例中，手持裝置會根據不同的工具種 類來顯示對應的使用者介面。為了方便說明，在下述的實 施例中是以辨別兩種不同的輸入工具為例，例如觸控筆 (stylus)和使用者的手指，並以根據兩種不同的工具種類分 別轉換對應之使用者介面的流程來對本發明做更進一步的 說明。在本發明範圍中，則可包括任意數量的工具種類。 在下述實施例中，對應觸控筆的使用者介面為包括手 持裝置之全部功能的一般使用者介面，而對應手指的使用 者介面則是顯示手持裝置之部分功能的常用功能介面。顯 示在常用功能介面上的功能可由使用者根據其習慣或需求 來預先設定之。 ' 本實施例有多種方法可判斷輸入工具的種類，不同的 判斷方法需要不同的硬體設計，如圖2A至2D的手持裝置 方塊圖所示，以下依序說明。 圖2A的手持裝置包括顯示器21〇、觸控感應裝置 220、以及處理器230。顯示器210用以顯示使用者介面， 觸控感應裝置220例如為觸控面板(touch panei)，用以偵測 輸入工具的操作，並依據輸入工具的操作產生一輸入訊 號。處理器230耦接至顯示器210與觸控感應裝置22〇， 1353544 HTC950E8-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n 用以判斷輸入工具的工具種類，並且根據工具種類轉換對 應的使用者介面。 圖2A的觸控感應裝置220包括電阻式感測器 (resistive sensor device) 240。電阻式感測器可感應輸入: 具操作時的接觸位置和壓力’因此觸控感應裝置22〇提供 的輸入訊號包括輸入工具接觸的位置和壓力等資訊。’二 注思的疋电阻式感測盗在同一時間只能提供—個接觸點的 輸入訊5虎’而接觸點會分布在輸入工具和電阻式成:則二\ 接觸面積内，如圖3A和3B所示。電阻式感測器本身二^ 判辦疋否有與輸入工具產生接觸，而無法辨別輪入工耳的 類別，因此需要配合本發明所提供之方法，藉由在一^期 間内所搜集到的多個接觸點之輸入訊號來判斷輸入工^的 種類。如圖3A繪示之觸控筆的接觸點至t_4，因^觸 控筆的接觸面積較小，所以接觸點較集中，藉由本發明所 提供的方法可判斷出與電阻式感測器接觸的輪入工具為觸 控筆。圖3B繪示手指的接觸點t_i至t_4，因為手指的接 觸面積較大，所以接觸點較分散’藉由本發明所提^的方 法可判斷出與電阻式感測器接觸的輸人玉具為手指。由於 電阻式感測器在同-時H提供—個接㈣的輸入訊 號，執行本發明所提供之方法(於下詳述)之處理器會 f一段特定時間内持續記錄輸人訊號的資訊，計算其變i 範圍，然後根據這個變動範圍的大小判斷輸入工具種類。 以圖3A及3B的四個接觸點為例，假設接觸點t_i產 生的輸入訊號為(Xi，Yi，Pi)，其中i可為〗，2, 3, 4。刃為t i 12 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 244 ] Otwf.doc/n 的接觸位置的X座標，Yi為t-i的接觸位置的Y座桿，pi 為t-i的接觸壓力。處理器230可分別計算位置與壓力的平 均值如下： X 座標平均值：Xa = (Xl +X2 + X3 + X4)/4 Y 座標平均值：Ya = (Yl + Y2 + Υ3 + γ4)/4 壓力平均值：Pa = (Pl +Ρ2 + ρ3+ρ4)/4 然後可分別計鼻位置與壓力的變動範圍如下： X 座標變動範圍· Xd = |Xa — Xi| + _ χ2| + |Xa~X3|-f |Xa-X4| Y 座標變動範圍.Yd = IYa — Y11 + I _ γ2| + |Ya-Y3| -f |Ya-Y4| 壓力變動範圍：Pd = |Pa-Pl| + |i>a —p2| + |Pa-P3| +|Pa-P4| 至於如何依據位置與壓力的變動範圍判斷工具種 類’細節如圖4A至4C的流程所示，以下依序說明。 圖4A為圖2A的處理器230所執行的輸入工具種類 辨識方法流程圖，圖4A的流程是依據接觸位置的變動範 圍判斷工具種類。首先在步驟410開始偵測輸入工具的接 觸，在步驟420每隔一段預設的取樣時間記錄接觸點的 X、Y座標。接著在步驟430檢查樣本數量是否足夠，若 已滿足處理器230的預設數量’流程進入步驟440，否則 13 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 2441 Otwf.doc/n 回到步驟420繼續記錄。 接下來，在步驟44〇計算接觸位置的變動範 Yd，在步驟450檢查是否Xd<Vx而且Yd<Vy，並' 和％是處理器230的預設範圍。若兩座標的變動範X 小於對應的職範圍，處_

250的觸控感應裝置221。電容式感測器在 構k上具有多個陣列排列的感慮塾(sens〇r pa(j)。感應墊只 會對足夠大的導體產生電容效應而感應到導體的接觸或接 近1手指是導體，可使感應墊產生感應 。如果觸控筆用導 f製作，財夠大，也能讓錢墊產生錢。電容式感測 盗二般是利崎財式進行錢，因此相在同時或是在 時間内有多數個感應墊產生感應。因為電容式感測 ^入身僅能觸是否有與輸人玉具產生翻，而無法辨別

理器230在步驟550判定輪入工具種類為觸控筆，將使用 者介面轉換為對應的共同使用者介面。否則處理器23〇在 步驟560判定輸入工具種類為手指，將使用者介面轉換為 對應的常用功能介面。上述的預設值可依據感應墊單位面 積的密度來設定。 圖2C是本發明另一實施例的手持裝置方塊圖，圖2c 和圖2A的主要差別是將圖2A的觸控感應裝置220換成包 括溫度感測器260的觸控感應裝置222。在本實施例中， 處理器230是根據輸入工具接觸或接近觸控感應裝置222 時的工具溫度來判斷工具種類。請同時參閱圖丨與圖2C， 當使用者利用輸入工具在觸控感應裝置222上進行操作 時，處理器230將接收到對應的輪入訊號（步驟n〇)。 此時，處理器230會透過溫度感測器260偵測輪入工具操 作時的工具溫度，並將工具溫度與預設溫度（例如室溫和 體溫的平均值）進行比較。倘若工具溫度小於預設溫度， 則處理器230判斷輸入工具為觸控筆，反之則判斷輸入工 具為手指（步驟120)。接下來，處理器230依照工具種 類在顯示器210上顯示對應的共同使用者介面或常用功能 16 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n 介面，如前面的實施例所述（步驟丨3〇)。 除了利用面積、壓力與溫度的不同來判斷工具種類之 外，在圖2D的實施例中，處理器230還可利用影像識別

firstly, the user's interface is received in the user interface, and then the input is received in step 12, and the touch tool is touched or approached according to the input tool. The area, pressure, temperature, or image sensed by the touch sensing device is used to determine the type of tool for the input tool. Finally, as in step ς^30, the handheld device converts and displays the corresponding user interface according to the type of the royal device. It should be noted that the above operation method can be divided into two parts, one part of which is a method for identifying the type of the wheeling tool (ie, step 110 and step 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n 120), The second part is the method of applying the identification result (ie, step 130). That is to say, in the method flow shown in Fig. 1, the present invention provides at least the identification method including step 110 and step 120, and the steps after step 120 are designed according to actual application requirements. Step 130 in Figure 1 is only used to represent one embodiment of the application (conversion of the user interface), respectively. In this embodiment, the handheld device displays the corresponding user interface according to different tool types. For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, two different input tools are distinguished, such as a stylus and a user's finger, and the corresponding users are respectively converted according to two different tool types. The flow of the interface will further illustrate the present invention. Any number of tool types may be included within the scope of the invention. In the following embodiments, the user interface of the corresponding stylus is a general user interface including all functions of the handheld device, and the user interface of the corresponding finger is a common functional interface for displaying some functions of the handheld device. The functions displayed on the common function interface can be preset by the user according to their habits or needs. There are various ways to determine the type of input tool in this embodiment. Different methods of judging require different hardware designs, as shown in the block diagrams of the handheld device of Figures 2A to 2D, which are described below. The handheld device of Figure 2A includes a display 21, a touch sensing device 220, and a processor 230. The display 210 is used to display a user interface. The touch sensing device 220 is, for example, a touch panel, for detecting the operation of the input tool and generating an input signal according to the operation of the input tool. The processor 230 is coupled to the display 210 and the touch sensing device 22, 1353544 HTC950E8-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n for determining the type of tools of the input tool, and converting the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool. The touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A includes a resistive sensor device 240. The resistive sensor can sense the input: the contact position and pressure during operation. Therefore, the input signal provided by the touch sensing device 22 includes information such as the position and pressure of the input tool. 'Two notes of 疋 resistance-type sensing pirates can only provide one contact point input at the same time 5 tiger' and the contact points will be distributed in the input tool and resistance type: then two \ contact area, as shown in Figure 3A And 3B. The resistive sensor itself determines whether there is contact with the input tool, and it is impossible to distinguish the type of the wheeled ear. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by the present invention and collect it by a period of time. The input signals of multiple contact points determine the type of input work^. As shown in FIG. 3A, the contact point of the stylus to t_4, because the contact area of the stylus is small, the contact points are concentrated, and the method provided by the present invention can determine the contact with the resistive sensor. The wheeling tool is a stylus. FIG. 3B illustrates the contact points t_i to t_4 of the finger, because the contact area of the finger is larger, so the contact point is more dispersed. 'The method of the present invention can determine that the input jade with the resistive sensor is finger. Since the resistive sensor provides an input signal (four) in the same time H, the processor performing the method provided by the present invention (described in detail below) continuously records the information of the input signal for a certain period of time. Calculate the range of the variable i, and then judge the type of the input tool according to the size of this range of variation. Taking the four contact points of Figs. 3A and 3B as an example, it is assumed that the input signal generated by the contact point t_i is (Xi, Yi, Pi), where i can be 〖, 2, 3, 4. The edge is t i 12 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 244 ] The X coordinate of the contact position of Otwf.doc/n, Yi is the Y seat post of the contact position of t-i, and pi is the contact pressure of t-i. The processor 230 can calculate the average of the position and pressure as follows: X coordinate average: Xa = (Xl + X2 + X3 + X4) / 4 Y coordinate average: Ya = (Yl + Y2 + Υ 3 + γ4) / 4 Average pressure: Pa = (Pl +Ρ2 + ρ3+ρ4)/4 Then the range of fluctuations in nose position and pressure can be calculated as follows: X coordinate variation range · Xd = |Xa — Xi| + _ χ2| + |Xa~ X3|-f |Xa-X4| Y coordinate variation range. Yd = IYa — Y11 + I _ γ2| + |Ya-Y3| -f |Ya-Y4| Pressure variation range: Pd = |Pa-Pl| + | i>a —p2| + |Pa-P3| +|Pa-P4| As for how to judge the type of tool based on the range of variation of position and pressure, the details are shown in the flow of FIGS. 4A to 4C, and the following are explained in order. 4A is a flow chart showing a method for identifying an input tool type executed by the processor 230 of FIG. 2A. The flow of FIG. 4A is to determine the type of the tool based on the range of variation of the contact position. First, in step 410, the contact of the input tool is detected, and in step 420, the X, Y coordinates of the contact point are recorded every predetermined sampling time. Next, at step 430, it is checked if the number of samples is sufficient. If the preset number of processors 230 has been satisfied, the flow proceeds to step 440, otherwise 13 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 2441 Otwf.doc/n returns to step 420 to continue recording. Next, at step 44, the variation range Yd of the contact position is calculated, and at step 450, it is checked whether Xd < Vx and Yd < Vy, and ' and % are the preset ranges of the processor 230. If the change criterion X of the two coordinates is less than the corresponding job range, the _ 23G is in the step 46 ^ The type of the tool is the test pen, which will make the listener (4) change the _ ^ ^ interface. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines the input guard 2 to convert the user interface into the corresponding common function interface. FIG. 4B is a flow chart of another input operation performed by the processor 230, and the flow of the item 4B is based on the contact pressure ^=. The processor 230 records the contact pressure of the input tool between the dry steps in step 421, and changes the range Pd in step 441, and checks whether the Pd<Vp is in the U at the contact pressure of the cow after the fall, wherein Vp is the process β. The preset range of 230. If pd < ^ 460 determines that the input is manual and is J ^ in the step corresponding to the touch (four), the user interface is converted into the input I work, the f make the face. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the finger is converted to the month (9) face. The remaining steps and figures of Fig. 4B are the same, and the % of the type of input guard type performed by the processor (10) is no longer described. Fig. 4 4 (4) is determined by the contact position and pressure. The processor 23 § records the contact position and pressure of the input tool every 442^+days in step 422, the Wei range xdm of the different lying position in step δ and the change of the contact pressure Pd ' and then check in the step Xd < Vx, Yd < Vy 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n and Pd < Vp. If so, the processor 230 determines in step 460 that the input tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface to a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the input tool type is a finger and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface. The remaining steps of FIG. 4C are the same as those of FIG. 4A and will not be described again. Next is another input tool type identification method under the hardware design, please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2B is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2B and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A is replaced with a touch including a capadtive sensor device 250. Induction device 221. The capacitive sensor has a plurality of arrays of sensing 在 on the structure k (sens〇r pa(j). The sensing pad only produces a capacitive effect on a sufficiently large conductor to sense the contact of the conductor or close to 1 finger. The conductor can make the sensor pad feel. If the stylus is made with the guide f, it is enough to make the money pad generate money. The capacitive sensory thief is the money that is used by the raisin, so at the same time or It is the time when there are many sensing pads to generate the induction. Because the capacitive sensing ^ can only touch the input and the jade, it can not distinguish the category of the tool, so it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by the present invention. And the input signal sensed by the two contact pads to determine the input of the processor 230 of the lower H2B, the amount of the sensing area provided by the present invention can be based on the amount of money generated (four) The calculation is small, and the input tool is distinguished by a finger or a stylus. Sense 2: The type of the input tool executed by the 2B t processor 230 is identified. The first step is to detect the wheel 15 every time in step 510. 1353544 HTC95088 -4-TW 24410twf.doc/n Contact or close, then check if there is a sensor pad to generate the sensor in step 52. If not, go back to step 51 and continue to detect. If yes, go to step 530 to calculate the input tool operation touch in the preset time period. When the sensing device 221 is controlled, the number of sensing pads is generated in the capacitive sensor 25A. Then, in step 540, it is checked whether the number of the sensing pads is smaller than the preset value of the processor 230. If the number of sensing pads is less than the preset value The processor 230 determines in step 550 that the wheeling tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface into a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 23 determines in step 560 that the input tool type is a finger, and the user interface is converted. For the corresponding common function interface, the above preset value can be set according to the density of the unit area of the sensing pad. Fig. 2C is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference between Fig. 2c and Fig. 2A is that Fig. 2A The touch sensing device 220 is replaced with a touch sensing device 222 including a temperature sensor 260. In this embodiment, the processor 230 is in contact with or close to the input tool. The tool temperature is used to determine the tool type when the sensing device 222 is controlled. Please refer to FIG. 2C and FIG. 2C. When the user operates the touch sensing device 222 by using the input tool, the processor 230 will receive the corresponding round signal. (Step n〇) At this time, the processor 230 detects the tool temperature when the wheeling tool is operated through the temperature sensor 260, and compares the tool temperature with a preset temperature (for example, an average value of room temperature and body temperature). If the tool temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the processor 230 determines that the input tool is a stylus, and otherwise determines that the input tool is a finger (step 120). Next, the processor 230 displays the corresponding common use on the display 210 according to the type of the tool. Interface or common function 16 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.doc/n interface, as described in the previous embodiment (step 丨 3〇). In addition to utilizing differences in area, pressure, and temperature to determine the type of tool, in the embodiment of Figure 2D, processor 230 may also utilize image recognition techniques to determine the type of tool. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 2D. FIG. 2D is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2A and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A is replaced with a touch that includes the image capturing device 270. The sensing device 223 is controlled. When the user operates on the touch sensing device 223 using the input tool, in step no, the processor receives an input signal through the touch sensing device 223. Next, in step 12, the processing benefit 230 controls the image stripping device 270 to capture the image including the wheeling tool and determine the tool type based on the feature or size of the input tool in the image. For example, the processor 23 can obtain the edge profile of the input tool in the image through the image recognition technology, and the like. Or, it is calculated by comparing the input tool to ^^ and comparing it with the size of the reference object to determine the type of tool. If the processing β 230 determines that the input tool is a stylus, the common user interface is displayed through the display 210 in step 13 . If the processor 23 determines that the input tool is the finger 2, the common function interface is displayed through the display 21 in step 130. It is worth mentioning that the processor in the county can be different in the type of tool, and the size of the user interface option is adjusted when the user interface is converted and displayed. For example, when the processor determines that the wheeling tool is a stylus, as shown in Figure 6, the options on the user interface 6〇〇 are displayed in a normal size. However, when the processor determines that the input tool is the user's finger, ',' will enlarge the user interface option to the finger-operable size, as shown in Figure 17 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 24410twf.d〇c/n 7 The user interface 700 is shown to facilitate the user to operate the user interface through the finger. The above options include items such as icons or images that can be selected with the input tool. The handheld device of the present invention can perform various preset functions in different manners according to the type of the input tool, in addition to converting different user interfaces according to the type of the input tool, as shown in the flow of FIG. FIG. 8 is a flow chart φ of a user interface operation method performed by the handheld device according to an embodiment of the invention. The rogue is described in detail below. First, the processor of the handheld device receives the input signal through the touch sensing device (step 810), determines the type of the input tool that generated the input signal (step 820), and then performs the preset function according to the type of the tool (step 830). For example, the preset function may be to convert the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool (step 84A), and the related details are included in the embodiment, and are not described again. The preset function of the step may also be to turn a specific function on or off according to the type of the tool (step 850). The processor can also perform other preset functions depending on the type of tool, and is not limited to the above examples. ® The specific function of step 850 can be a user interface browsing (browsing) power month b. The user interface navigation function may include a user interface panning function, a user interface scrolling function (scr〇iiing), or both (step 860). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned off, and when the input tool is a finger, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned on, so that the user can pan or scroll the user interface by moving the finger. Display content. The detailed flow of step 860 is shown in Figure 8B. First in step 861 1353544 HTC95088-4-TW 2441 Otwf.doc/n

At step 862, it is checked if the contact or proximity state of the finger has been removed, that is, whether the finger has left the touch sensing device. If not, the user interface translation function is performed in step 863 to allow the user interface to pan as the user's finger moves. On the other hand, if the finger has left the touch sensing device, it is checked in step 864 if there is a movement while the finger is away. This is the end of the process if there is no movement. If there is movement, proceed to step 865' to perform a user interface scrolling function to allow the user interface to scroll in the manual direction.

For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the multi-selection function is enabled, so that the user can simultaneously select multiple data items or function items on the user interface by using the stylus, and the input tool is a finger off, heavy function, and use. - Only one-item can be selected. Because the degree of the finger is not as good as the stylus, it is easy to mis-select, which can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the use. The detailed flow of the steps is shown in Figure 8C. First, in Step, ς (7), judge the input tool type as the stylus and turn on the multiple selection function. However, step 8-72 checks the area where the pen is close to the money device. If not, the process ends here. If 疋 in step 873, select all options covered by the contact area.
