Description
本發明係關於一種軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法，特別是關於一種與多個顯示螢幕相連接之軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法。The present invention relates to a track input device and a processing method thereof, and more particularly to a track input device connected to a plurality of display screens and a processing method thereof.
隨著科技的不斷發展，諸如電腦、行動電話、自動導航系統以及電子遊戲等電子裝置在消費市場的強烈需求下，各家業者不斷地增進其使用上的功能，以吸引更多消費者的目光。其中為了讓使用者更方便地操控電子裝置，許多電子裝置都增設有觸控式面板(touch panel，或稱tablet，亦稱為感應面板)，或是其他可供使用者輸入操作軌跡的方式，以提供使用者藉由觸控式面板進行操作的輸入手段。而現今已發展出各種觸控感測技術，例如電阻式、電容式、線圈式、聲波式以及紅外線式等等。With the continuous development of technology, electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, auto-navigation systems and video games are in strong demand in the consumer market, and various operators are constantly improving their functions to attract more consumers. . In order to make it easier for the user to control the electronic device, many electronic devices are provided with a touch panel (also called a tablet, also called a sensor panel), or other means for the user to input the operation track. To provide an input means for the user to operate through the touch panel. Various touch sensing technologies have been developed, such as resistive, capacitive, coil, sonic, and infrared.
而與具有觸控式面板之裝置(簡稱為觸控裝置)相連的螢幕亦具有各解析度，例如解析度為1024x768的液晶螢幕或是解析度為192x144的個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)螢幕。使用者亦可能同時配合多個螢幕來使用觸控式面版，也就是說，使用者使用多重螢幕。The screen connected to the device with the touch panel (referred to as the touch device for short) also has various resolutions, such as a liquid crystal screen with a resolution of 1024x768 or a personal digital assistant (PDA) with a resolution of 192x144. Screen. Users may also use a touch panel with multiple screens at the same time, that is, users use multiple screens.
但是傳統的觸控裝置即使是搭配多重螢幕使用，使用的方法係與搭配單一螢幕使用時相同。傳統的觸控裝置搭配多重螢幕時，使用者需拖曳滑鼠游標以在多個螢幕之間進行切換，費時又麻煩。更甚者，若被使用的螢幕具有不同的解析度以及尺寸，會產生於不同螢幕中顯示的游標軌跡比例不同的問題。However, the traditional touch device is used in the same way as a single screen, even when used with multiple screens. When a conventional touch device is used with multiple screens, the user has to drag the mouse cursor to switch between multiple screens, which is time consuming and troublesome. What's more, if the screens used have different resolutions and sizes, there will be problems in the scale of the cursors displayed on different screens.
換句話說，假設使用者在觸控式面板輸入一個線段，但是這個線段顯示在具有不同解析度之螢幕上時，長度會變的不同。對於相同的輸入，在解析度較低的螢幕顯示出來的線段係長於解析度較高的螢幕顯示出來的線段。如此一來，當使用者欲進行跨螢幕的輸入時，會因顯示突然改變而感到困惑。In other words, suppose the user enters a line segment on the touch panel, but when the line segment is displayed on a screen with different resolutions, the length will be different. For the same input, the line segment displayed on the lower resolution screen is longer than the line segment displayed on the higher resolution screen. As a result, when the user wants to input across the screen, he or she may be confused by the sudden change of the display.
此外，由於所有的螢幕都由觸控式面板統一進行操作，因此在需要進行需橫跨一個甚至多個螢幕時，十分地難以操作。使用者可能需要花費時間將滑鼠游標移動很長的距離，才能對感興趣的部分進行操作。In addition, since all screens are operated uniformly by the touch panel, it is extremely difficult to operate when it is required to span one or more screens. It may take time for the user to move the mouse cursor a long distance in order to operate on the part of interest.
基於上述，先前之具有觸控面板的裝置，即軌跡輸入裝置，存在有輸入資料被不當地顯示於多重螢幕上，或是使用者難以進行操作的問題。Based on the above, the device having the touch panel, that is, the track input device, has a problem that the input data is improperly displayed on the multiple screens, or the user is difficult to operate.
為解決上述問題，本發明提供一種軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法。本發明提供之軌跡輸入裝置係與多個顯示螢幕相連，並根據顯示螢幕分割為數個子區域，以解決輸入資料被不當地顯示於多重螢幕上，或是使用者難以進行操作的問題。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a track input device and a processing method thereof.

較佳的是，這些顯示螢幕包括一主螢幕以及至少一延伸螢幕。則與主螢幕對應的子區域的顯示比例值係可為主螢幕的螢幕解析度的一長邊解析度除以與主螢幕對應的子區域的一長邊區域尺寸。Preferably, the display screens include a main screen and at least one extended screen. The display scale value of the sub-area corresponding to the main screen is a long-side resolution of the screen resolution of the main screen divided by a long-side area size of the sub-area corresponding to the main screen.
根據本發明之一實施範例，與延伸螢幕對應的子區域之顯示比例值係與主螢幕相關。則延伸螢幕對應的子區域之顯示比例值係可為延伸螢幕的螢幕解析度的長邊解析度除以與主螢幕對應的子區域的長邊區域尺寸。According to an embodiment of the invention, the display scale value of the sub-region corresponding to the extended screen is related to the main screen. Then, the display scale value of the sub-area corresponding to the extended screen is the long-side resolution of the screen resolution of the extended screen divided by the long-side area size of the sub-area corresponding to the main screen.
根據本發明之另一實施範例，與延伸螢幕對應的子區域係可對應操作整個延伸螢幕。則與延伸螢幕對應的子區域之顯示比例值係可為延伸螢幕的螢幕解析度的長邊解析度除以與延伸螢幕對應的子區域的長邊區域尺寸。According to another embodiment of the present invention, the sub-region corresponding to the extended screen can correspond to the entire extended screen. The display scale value of the sub-area corresponding to the extended screen is the long-side resolution of the screen resolution of the extended screen divided by the long-side area size of the sub-area corresponding to the extended screen.
而根據本發明之又一實施範例，主螢幕對應的子區域係大於延伸螢幕的子區域。According to still another embodiment of the present invention, the sub-region corresponding to the main screen is larger than the sub-area of the extended screen.
此外，為了令使用者更易於自由分割所需的子區域，軌跡輸入裝置的處理方法在「接收設定命令」的步驟之前，另可包括：依據這些顯示螢幕的個數，提供一預設分割樣板。如此一來，使用者便可直接以預設分割樣板分割子區塊，或依需求修改預設分割樣板以分割子區塊。In addition, in order to make it easier for the user to freely divide the required sub-areas, the processing method of the track input device may further include: providing a preset split template according to the number of the display screens before the step of “receiving the set command”. . In this way, the user can directly divide the sub-blocks by using the preset split template, or modify the preset split template to divide the sub-blocks as needed.
本發明提供之軌跡輸入裝置則包括一感應面板以及一處理器。感應面板具有上述之子區域，其中每一個子區域對應於一個顯示螢幕，且每一個子區域均具有顯示比例值。處理器係與感應面板電性連接。處理器偵測每一個顯示螢幕的螢幕解析度並設定這些子區域以及顯示比例值。處理器並接收輸入軌跡訊號，以將輸入軌跡訊號顯示於與接收輸入軌跡訊號之子區域對應的顯示螢幕。The track input device provided by the present invention comprises an inductive panel and a processor. The sensing panel has the above sub-areas, wherein each sub-area corresponds to one display screen, and each sub-area has a display scale value. The processor is electrically connected to the sensing panel. The processor detects the resolution of each display screen and sets these sub-areas and display scale values. The processor receives the input track signal to display the input track signal on a display screen corresponding to the sub-area receiving the input track signal.
為了讓使用者更方便地使用軌跡輸入裝置，軌跡輸入裝置更包含一顯示模組，以顯示這些子區域或是顯示比例值的對應資訊。也就是說，顯示模組可顯示有效感應區域被分割成子區域的配置狀態，或是顯示正在接收輸入軌跡訊號之子區域的顯示比例值。In order to make it easier for the user to use the track input device, the track input device further includes a display module for displaying the corresponding information of the sub-areas or the display scale values. That is to say, the display module can display the configuration state in which the effective sensing area is divided into sub-areas, or display the display scale value of the sub-area that is receiving the input track signal.
軌跡輸入裝置亦可包含一重置按鍵。重置按鍵觸發處理器，使得處理器重新設定這些子區域。當使用者想要改變目前子區域的配置狀態時，可按壓重置按鍵以觸發重新設定子區域範圍的功能。The track input device can also include a reset button. The reset button triggers the processor so that the processor resets these sub-regions. When the user wants to change the configuration state of the current sub-area, the reset button can be pressed to trigger the function of resetting the sub-area range.
此外，軌跡輸入裝置更可包含一變更按鍵。變更按鍵亦觸發處理器，使得處理器變更子區域的顯示比例值。舉例而言，使用者可一邊在一個子區域內輸入輸入軌跡訊號並一邊按壓變更按鍵，以觸發重新設定這個子區域的顯示比例值的功能。In addition, the track input device may further include a change button. The change button also triggers the processor to cause the processor to change the display scale value of the sub-area. For example, the user can input the input track signal in a sub-area and press the change button to trigger the function of resetting the display scale value of the sub-area.
基於上述，根據本發明之軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法根據相連的多個顯示螢幕將有效感應區域分割為數個子螢幕。使用者能直接在子區域輸入輸入軌跡訊號，並藉以操控顯示於對應此子區塊之顯示螢幕內的物件。此外，軌跡輸入裝置並對每一個子區域個別給予適當的顯示比例值，使得輸入軌跡裝置能夠不突兀地顯示在這些顯示螢幕上。Based on the above, the track input device and the processing method thereof according to the present invention divide the effective sensing area into a plurality of sub-screens according to a plurality of connected display screens. The user can input the input track signal directly in the sub-area, and thereby manipulate the objects displayed in the display screen corresponding to the sub-block. In addition, the track input device and each of the sub-areas are individually given an appropriate display scale value so that the input track device can be displayed on these display screens without being abruptly displayed.
以下敘述之關於本發明的詳細特徵以及優點，其內容足以使任何熟習相關技藝者了解本發明之技術內容並據以實施，且根據本說明書所揭露之內容、申請專利範圍及圖式，任何熟習相關技藝者可輕易地理解本發明相關之目的及優點。The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in the following detailed description of the present invention, which is to be understood by those skilled in the art to understand the technical contents of the present invention, and in accordance with the disclosure, the scope of the application, and the drawings, The related objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
本發明所揭露之軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法係包括一感應面板以及一處理器，其中處理器可執行軌跡輸入裝置的處理方法。軌跡輸入裝置係與多個顯示螢幕相連，並根據顯示螢幕分割感應面板的一有效感應區域為多個子區域。The track input device and the processing method thereof disclosed by the present invention comprise an inductive panel and a processor, wherein the processor can execute a processing method of the track input device. The track input device is connected to a plurality of display screens, and is a plurality of sub-areas according to an effective sensing area of the display screen splitting sensing panel.
請參照「第1圖」，其係為根據本發明之軌跡輸入裝置的外觀立體示意圖。軌跡輸入裝置20包括感應面板22與處理器24，且處理器24係與感應面板22電性連接。軌跡輸入裝置20可以是任何能讓使用者輸入操作軌跡的裝置，例如數位板、手寫板、繪圖板或是具有觸控面板的遊戲機。被使用者以軌跡輸入裝置20輸入的資料顯示於顯示螢幕上，其中顯示螢幕可以是電腦螢幕、手機螢幕或是電視螢幕等。根據本發明，軌跡輸入裝置20可直接與相匹配的顯示螢幕電性連結，亦可經由其他電子裝置與相匹配的顯示螢幕電性連結。舉例來說，數位板可經由電腦主機與電腦螢幕相連結。Please refer to FIG. 1 which is a perspective view showing the appearance of the track input device according to the present invention. The track input device 20 includes a sensing panel 22 and a processor 24 , and the processor 24 is electrically connected to the sensing panel 22 . The track input device 20 can be any device that allows the user to input an operation track, such as a tablet, a tablet, a tablet, or a game console with a touch panel. The data input by the user with the track input device 20 is displayed on the display screen, wherein the display screen can be a computer screen, a mobile phone screen or a television screen. According to the present invention, the track input device 20 can be directly electrically connected to the matching display screen, or can be electrically connected to the matching display screen via other electronic devices. For example, the tablet can be connected to a computer screen via a computer host.
感應面板22具有有效感應區域30，而軌跡輸入裝置的處理方法將有效感應區域30被分割為多個子區域32。「第2圖」係為根據本發明一實施例之流程示意圖。接著將以「第2圖」詳細說明本發明提供之軌跡輸入裝置的處理方法。The sensing panel 22 has an effective sensing area 30, and the processing method of the track input device divides the effective sensing area 30 into a plurality of sub-areas 32. Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. Next, the processing method of the track input device provided by the present invention will be described in detail with reference to "Fig. 2".
首先，處理器24偵測與輸入軌跡裝置20相連之每一個顯示螢幕的一螢幕解析度(步驟S100)。與輸入軌跡裝置20相連的這些顯示螢幕可具有彼此不同的解析度與長寬比，例如1024*768(像素)、1280*720或是720*540。顯示螢幕的解析度以及長寬比能做為分割子區域32的依據，例如對解析度較大的顯示螢幕可設定面積較大的子區域32，或是可根據顯示螢幕的形狀(長寬比)分割子區域32。First, the processor 24 detects a screen resolution of each of the display screens connected to the input track device 20 (step S100). These display screens connected to the input track device 20 may have different resolutions and aspect ratios from each other, such as 1024*768 (pixels), 1280*720, or 720*540. The resolution of the display screen and the aspect ratio can be used as the basis for dividing the sub-area 32. For example, the sub-area 32 having a larger area can be set for the display screen having a larger resolution, or the shape of the display screen (length to width ratio) can be set. The sub-region 32 is divided.
接著處理器24接收一設定命令，以依據設定命令將有效感應區域30分割為多個子區域32(步驟S110)。較佳的是，軌跡輸入裝置20系可提供一使用者介面(User Interface，UI)以提供使用者決定要如何分割子區域32。使用者介面可與軌跡輸入裝置20結合，並可在軌跡輸入裝置20被啟動時提供給使用者。換句話說，設定命令依照使用者於使用者介面的輸入，將有效感應區域30分割為子區域32，且這些子區域32係個別對應於顯示螢幕。The processor 24 then receives a setting command to divide the effective sensing area 30 into a plurality of sub-areas 32 in accordance with the setting command (step S110). Preferably, the track input device 20 can provide a user interface (UI) to provide the user with a decision on how to divide the sub-area 32. The user interface can be combined with the track input device 20 and can be provided to the user when the track input device 20 is activated. In other words, the setting command divides the effective sensing area 30 into sub-areas 32 according to the user's input to the user interface, and these sub-areas 32 individually correspond to the display screen.
根據本發明之一實施範例，在接收設定命令之前，另可依據顯示螢幕的個數提供一預設分割樣板予使用者。處理器24可透過使用者介面提供各種預設分割樣板，以增加軌跡輸入裝置20使用上的便利性。請參照「第3A圖」、「第3B圖」、「第3C圖」以及「第3D圖」，其分別為根據本發明一實施例之不同的預設分割樣板之示意圖。According to an embodiment of the present invention, before receiving the setting command, a preset split template may be provided to the user according to the number of display screens. The processor 24 can provide various preset split templates through the user interface to increase the convenience of the track input device 20. Please refer to "3A", "3B", "3C" and "3D", which are schematic diagrams of different preset split templates according to an embodiment of the present invention.
軌跡輸入裝置的處理方法係可依據與軌跡輸入裝置20相連之顯示螢幕個數，自動提供常用的子區域32的分割方式作為預設分割樣板。使用者便可直接點選使用者介面所呈現之預設分割樣板之一來使用，亦可部分修改預設分割樣板再作為真正分割子區域32的配置。The processing method of the track input device can automatically provide the division mode of the commonly used sub-area 32 as a preset split template according to the number of display screens connected to the track input device 20. The user can directly click one of the preset split templates presented by the user interface, or partially modify the preset split template to be the configuration of the real divided sub-region 32.
舉例而言，當軌跡輸入裝置20與兩個顯示螢幕相連接時，可提供如「第3A圖」以及「第3B圖」的預設分割樣板。兩個子區域32a以及32b可被配置成彼此橫向或是直向並排，且兩個子區域32的面積相同。請同時參照「第4A圖」，其係為根據本發明一實施例之第一子區域示意圖。使用者可點選「第3A圖」以及「第3B圖」的預設分割樣板之一來設定子區域32，亦可於使用者介面中將「第3A圖」的預設分割面板調整為一大一小以符合使用上的需求，如「第4A圖」所示。For example, when the track input device 20 is connected to two display screens, preset split templates such as "3A" and "3B" can be provided. The two sub-regions 32a and 32b may be arranged side by side or straight side by side, and the two sub-regions 32 have the same area. Please also refer to "FIG. 4A", which is a schematic diagram of a first sub-area according to an embodiment of the present invention. The user can click one of the preset split templates of "3A" and "3B" to set the sub-area 32, and also adjust the preset split panel of "3A" to one in the user interface. Freshman is small to meet the needs of use, as shown in Figure 4A.
再舉例而言，當軌跡輸入裝置20與三個顯示螢幕相連接時，可提供如「第3C圖」以及「第3D圖」的預設分割樣板。預設分割樣板中三個子區域32a、32b以及32c可以彼此橫向或直向並排，亦可排列成T字形。請同時參照「第4B圖」以及「第4C圖」，其分別為根據本發明一實施例之第一子區域示意圖以及第二子區域示意圖。使用者可自由地調整「第3D圖」的預設分割樣板中子區域32的大小或是彼此的位置，如「第4B圖」以及「第4C圖」所示。For another example, when the track input device 20 is connected to three display screens, preset split templates such as "3C" and "3D" can be provided. The three sub-areas 32a, 32b, and 32c in the preset split template may be side by side or straight side by side, or may be arranged in a T shape. Please refer to both FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, which are schematic diagrams of a first sub-area and a second sub-area, respectively, according to an embodiment of the invention. The user can freely adjust the size of the sub-regions 32 in the preset split template of the "3D map" or the positions of each other, as shown in "4B" and "4C".
如此一來，藉由使用者介面提供的預設分割樣板，使用者能夠簡單地配置子區域32。更佳的是，使用者介面可列出於步驟S100偵測而得之各顯示螢幕的解析度，以提供使用者分割子區域32時作為參考。In this way, the user can simply configure the sub-area 32 by using the preset split template provided by the user interface. More preferably, the user interface may list the resolutions of the display screens detected in step S100 to provide a reference for the user to divide the sub-area 32.
此外，使用者介面可將有效感應區域30標上座標，以方便在設定命令中表示子區域32被分割的配置情況。更詳細的說，設定命令中可包含每一個子區域32在有效感應區域30中的座標，而座標可以例如是以左下角作為座標的基準點。In addition, the user interface can mark the effective sensing area 30 with coordinates to facilitate the configuration of the sub-area 32 being divided in the setting command. In more detail, the setting command may include coordinates of each sub-area 32 in the effective sensing area 30, and the coordinates may be, for example, a reference point with the lower left corner as a coordinate.
根據本發明之另一實施範例，軌跡輸入裝置20在被啟動時可將整個有效感應區域30作為一個子區域32作為預設，而整個有效感應區域30係對應到所有的顯示螢幕所組合出的完整的顯示畫面。使用者則可再透過使用者介面更改目前的子區域32的配置。According to another embodiment of the present invention, the track input device 20 can set the entire effective sensing area 30 as a sub-area 32 as a preset when activated, and the entire effective sensing area 30 corresponds to all the display screens. Complete display. The user can then change the configuration of the current sub-area 32 through the user interface.
而根據本發明之又一實施範例，軌跡輸入裝置20偵測到相連之顯示螢幕後，係直接依照對應顯示螢幕數目的預設分割樣板之一分割有效感應區域30。According to still another embodiment of the present invention, after detecting the connected display screen, the track input device 20 directly divides the effective sensing area 30 according to one of the preset split templates corresponding to the number of displayed screens.
接下來請回到「第2圖」。處理器24依據設定命令將有效感應區域30分割為多個子區域32後，設定每一個顯示螢幕所對應之子區域32的一顯示比例值(步驟S120)。使用者在使用軌跡輸入裝置20時，於有效感應區域30中輸入一輸入軌跡訊號，並可在顯示螢幕上看見對應的一顯示軌跡訊號。而顯示比例值即為將輸入軌跡訊號轉換為顯示軌跡訊號時的縮放倍率，其中設定顯示比例值的方法請容後敘。Next, please return to "Figure 2." The processor 24 divides the effective sensing area 30 into a plurality of sub-areas 32 according to the setting command, and then sets a display scale value of the sub-area 32 corresponding to each display screen (step S120). When the trajectory input device 20 is used, the user inputs an input trajectory signal in the effective sensing area 30, and can see a corresponding display trajectory signal on the display screen. The display scale value is the zoom ratio when converting the input track signal to the display track signal. The method for setting the display scale value is described later.
處理器24於有效感應區域30的子區域32中之一接收使用者輸入的輸入軌跡訊號(步驟S130)之後，處理器24判斷子區域32之中是哪一個子區域32接收此輸入軌跡訊號(步驟S140)。換句話說，處理器24於步驟S140中判斷輸入軌跡訊號落在哪一個子區域32之中。After the processor 24 receives the input track signal input by the user in one of the sub-areas 32 of the effective sensing area 30 (step S130), the processor 24 determines which sub-area 32 of the sub-area 32 receives the input track signal ( Step S140). In other words, the processor 24 determines in step S140 which sub-region 32 the input track signal falls within.
最後依據接收輸入軌跡訊號的子區域32的顯示比例值，處理器24再將輸入軌跡訊號顯示於與接收輸入軌跡訊號之子區域32對應的顯示螢幕(步驟S150)。例如當子區域32a接收到輸入軌跡訊號後，處理器24將輸入軌跡訊號以子區域32a的顯示比例值放大為顯示軌跡訊號，再將顯示軌跡訊號顯示於與子區域32a相對應的顯示螢幕。Finally, based on the display scale value of the sub-area 32 receiving the input track signal, the processor 24 displays the input track signal on the display screen corresponding to the sub-area 32 receiving the input track signal (step S150). For example, after the sub-area 32a receives the input track signal, the processor 24 enlarges the input track signal by the display scale value of the sub-area 32a to display the track signal, and then displays the display track signal on the display screen corresponding to the sub-area 32a.
此外，這些顯示螢幕可包括一主螢幕以及至少一延伸螢幕。換句話說顯示螢幕之中有一個是主螢幕，而其他的顯示螢幕都是延伸螢幕。使用者是可在這些顯示螢幕當中選定一個做為主螢幕，並讓延伸螢幕配合主螢幕使用。Additionally, the display screens can include a main screen and at least one extended screen. In other words, one of the display screens is the main screen, and the other display screens are extended screens. The user can select one of these display screens as the main screen and let the extended screen be used with the main screen.
而主螢幕對應的子區域32的顯示比例值係可為主螢幕的螢幕解析度的一長邊解析度(或稱為顯示螢幕的寬度)除以與主螢幕對應的子區域32的一長邊區域尺寸。假設主螢幕的解析度是1280*960，軌跡輸入裝置20的感應面板22(即代表有效感應區域30)的大小為5*3(吋)。且有效感應區域30採用「第4C圖」的分割方式，其中子區域32a對應於主螢幕。則子區域32a的顯示比例值可以是點每英吋(Dot Per Inch，dpi)。但根據子區域32被分割以及配置的情況不同，亦可根據螢幕解析度的一短邊解析度(或稱為顯示螢幕的高度)以及子區域32的一短邊區域尺寸計算顯示比例值。The display scale value of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the main screen is a long-side resolution (or width of the display screen) of the screen resolution of the main screen divided by a long side of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the main screen. Area size. Assuming that the resolution of the main screen is 1280*960, the size of the sensing panel 22 of the track input device 20 (ie, representing the effective sensing area 30) is 5*3 (吋). The effective sensing area 30 adopts a division method of "4Cth diagram" in which the sub-area 32a corresponds to the main screen. Then, the display ratio value of the sub-area 32a may be Dot Per Inch (dpi). However, depending on the case where the sub-area 32 is divided and arranged, the display scale value may be calculated according to a short-side resolution (or a height of the display screen) of the screen resolution and a short-side area size of the sub-area 32.
為了使顯示於不同顯示螢幕的顯示軌跡訊號看起來順暢而不突兀，根據本發明之一實施範例，與延伸螢幕對應的子區域32的顯示比例值係與主螢幕相關。具體而言，延伸螢幕對應的子區域32的顯示比例值係可為延伸螢幕的螢幕解析度的長邊解析度除以與主螢幕對應的子區域32的長邊區域尺寸。In order to make the display track signals displayed on different display screens appear smooth and unobtrusive, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display scale values of the sub-areas 32 corresponding to the extended screen are related to the main screen. Specifically, the display scale value of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the extended screen may be the long-side resolution of the screen resolution of the extended screen divided by the long-side area size of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the main screen.
請參照「第5A圖」，其係為根據本發明一實施例之子區域對應示意圖。承接上述例子，假設軌跡輸入裝置20除了主螢幕42外，另與兩個延伸螢幕44相連。延伸螢幕44a以及44b的螢幕解析度分別為1024*768以及720*540，且分別對應於子區域32b以及32c。則子區域32b的顯示比例值可以是，而子區域32c的顯示比例值可以是。Please refer to FIG. 5A, which is a schematic diagram of a sub-region corresponding to an embodiment of the present invention. In the above example, it is assumed that the track input device 20 is connected to the two extended screens 44 in addition to the main screen 42. The screen resolutions of the extended screens 44a and 44b are 1024*768 and 720*540, respectively, and correspond to the sub-areas 32b and 32c, respectively. Then, the display ratio value of the sub-area 32b may be , the display ratio value of the sub-area 32c may be .
如此一來，無論使用者在主螢幕42或是延伸螢幕44上輸入輸入軌跡訊號35，均可看見大小相同的顯示軌跡訊號45。也就是說，即使使用者跨子區域32進行輸入，顯示軌跡訊號45也不會因為各顯示螢幕的解析度不同而造成突兀的變形。In this way, regardless of whether the user inputs the input track signal 35 on the main screen 42 or the extended screen 44, the display track signal 45 of the same size can be seen. That is to say, even if the user inputs across the sub-area 32, the display track signal 45 does not cause abrupt deformation due to the difference in resolution of each display screen.
而根據本發明之另一實施範例，為了讓使用者操作方便，與延伸螢幕44對應的子區域32係可對應操作整個延伸螢幕44。換句話說，輸入軌跡訊號35與子區域32的比例相同於顯示軌跡訊號45與顯示螢幕的比例。更具體的說，與延伸螢幕44對應的子區域32的顯示比例值係可為延伸螢幕44的螢幕解析度的長邊解析度除以與延伸螢幕44對應的子區域32的長邊區域尺寸。According to another embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the operation of the user, the sub-area 32 corresponding to the extended screen 44 can correspondingly operate the entire extended screen 44. In other words, the ratio of the input track signal 35 to the sub-area 32 is the same as the ratio of the display track signal 45 to the display screen. More specifically, the display scale value of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the extended screen 44 may be the long-side resolution of the screen resolution of the extended screen 44 divided by the long-side area size of the sub-area 32 corresponding to the extended screen 44.
請參照「第5B圖」，其係為根據本發明另一實施例之子區域對應示意圖。假設與軌跡輸入裝置20相連之顯示螢幕以及子區域32的分割方法都與「第5A圖」相同，而子區域32b以及子區域32b的長邊區域尺寸均為2.5吋。則對應延伸螢幕44a之子區域32b的顯示比例值係為，而對應延伸螢幕44b之子區域32c的顯示比例值則為。Please refer to FIG. 5B, which is a schematic diagram of a sub-region corresponding to another embodiment of the present invention. It is assumed that the display screen connected to the track input device 20 and the division method of the sub-area 32 are the same as the "5A picture", and the long-side area sizes of the sub-area 32b and the sub-area 32b are both 2.5 inches. Then, the display scale value corresponding to the sub-area 32b of the extended screen 44a is And the display scale value corresponding to the sub-area 32c of the extended screen 44b is .
此外，根據本發明之又一實施範例，主螢幕42對應的子區域32a係大於延伸螢幕44的子區域32。則當使用者頻繁地使用主螢幕42時，可得到更舒適的使用經驗。Moreover, in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention, the sub-area 32a corresponding to the main screen 42 is larger than the sub-area 32 of the extended screen 44. Then, when the user frequently uses the main screen 42, a more comfortable use experience can be obtained.
簡而言之，本發明提供之軌跡輸入裝置20之處理器24係可執行上述軌跡控制裝置的處理方法。故處理器24偵測每一個相連之顯示螢幕的螢幕解析度並設定這些子區域32以及子區域32的顯示比例值。處理器24並接收輸入軌跡訊號35，且將輸入軌跡訊號35依據顯示比例值顯示於與接收輸入軌跡訊號35之子區域32對應的顯示螢幕。In short, the processor 24 of the trajectory input device 20 provided by the present invention can perform the processing method of the above trajectory control device. Therefore, the processor 24 detects the screen resolution of each of the connected display screens and sets the display scale values of the sub-areas 32 and the sub-areas 32. The processor 24 receives the input track signal 35 and displays the input track signal 35 on the display screen corresponding to the sub-area 32 of the received input track signal 35 according to the display scale value.
請再參照「第1圖」，軌跡輸入裝置20另可包括一顯示模組26、一重置按鍵28以及一變更按鍵29。Referring to FIG. 1 again, the track input device 20 may further include a display module 26, a reset button 28, and a change button 29.
顯示模組26可以是一液晶顯示區域或是發亮的邊線等用以顯示有效感應區域30之對應資訊之硬體設計。例如當顯示模組26是一液晶顯示區域如「第1圖」所示時，則顯示模組26可顯示有效感應區域30被分割成子區域32的配置。顯示模組26亦可與有效感應區域30搭配設計，例如在有效感應區域30上標記出常用的預設分割樣板的邊線位置。而顯示模組26亦可顯示所有子區域32的顯示比例值，或是正在接收輸入軌跡訊號35之子區域32的顯示比例值。The display module 26 can be a liquid crystal display area or a bright edge or the like for displaying the corresponding information of the effective sensing area 30. For example, when the display module 26 is a liquid crystal display area as shown in FIG. 1, the display module 26 can display the arrangement in which the effective sensing area 30 is divided into the sub-areas 32. The display module 26 can also be designed in conjunction with the active sensing area 30, such as marking the edge position of a commonly used preset split template on the active sensing area 30. The display module 26 can also display the display scale value of all the sub-areas 32 or the display scale value of the sub-area 32 that is receiving the input track signal 35.
重置按鍵28被按壓時觸發處理器24。處理器24重新將使用者介面提供給使用者，以使得使用者能夠重新設定需要的子區域32的分割方式。The processor 24 is triggered when the reset button 28 is pressed. The processor 24 re-provisions the user interface to the user to enable the user to reset the desired splitting of the sub-areas 32.
變更按鍵29被按壓時亦觸發處理器24，處理器24再根據變更按鍵29所發送的一變更顯示訊號更改子區域32的顯示比例值。更詳細地說，使用者可一邊輸入輸入軌跡訊號35以指定一個子區塊32並同時按壓變更按鍵29。處理器24根據變更顯示訊號來調高或調低使用者指定的子區域32(即正在接收輸入軌跡訊號35的子區域32)的顯示比例值。如此一來，軌跡輸入裝置20便可提供動態調整顯示輸入值的便利功能給使用者。The processor 24 is also triggered when the change button 29 is pressed, and the processor 24 changes the display scale value of the sub-area 32 based on a change display signal transmitted by the change button 29. In more detail, the user can input the input track signal 35 to designate a sub-block 32 and simultaneously press the change button 29. The processor 24 increases or decreases the display scale value of the user-specified sub-area 32 (ie, the sub-area 32 that is receiving the input track signal 35) according to the change display signal. In this way, the track input device 20 can provide a convenient function for dynamically adjusting the display input value to the user.
綜上所述，根據本發明之軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法，係根據相連的多個顯示螢幕將有效感應區域分割為數個子螢幕。因此使用者操控某一個顯示螢幕所顯示之物件時，能夠直接在與此顯示螢幕對應的子區域輸入輸入軌跡訊號以進行操作，而不需大費周章的令顯示游標訊號(可視之為滑鼠游標)通過其他的顯示螢幕的顯示範圍。也就是說，本發明所提供之軌跡輸入裝置及其處理方法十分便於使用者操作。軌跡輸入裝置並對每一個子區域個別給予適當的顯示比例值，使得輸入軌跡裝置能夠不突兀地顯示在這些顯示螢幕上。In summary, the track input device and the processing method thereof according to the present invention divide the effective sensing area into a plurality of sub-screens according to a plurality of connected display screens. Therefore, when the user controls an object displayed on the display screen, the input track signal can be input directly in the sub-area corresponding to the display screen, and the cursor signal can be displayed without a large amount of time (visible as a mouse) Cursor) through the display range of other display screens. That is to say, the track input device and the processing method thereof provided by the present invention are very convenient for the user to operate. The track input device and each of the sub-areas are individually given appropriate display scale values so that the input track device can be displayed on these display screens without being abruptly displayed.
