Description
本發明是有關於一種輸入方法，且特別是有關於一種整合鍵盤及手寫輸入的方法、電子裝置，以及電腦程式產品。The present invention relates to an input method, and more particularly to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for integrating a keyboard and handwriting input.
隨著行動科技的進步，行動裝置的外觀不僅日趨輕薄，整合在其中的功能種類也越來越多。由於行動裝置是以便於攜帶為訴求，因此產品的尺寸及重量也十分受到消費者的重視。With the advancement of mobile technology, the appearance of mobile devices is not only thinner and lighter, but also the types of functions integrated in them are increasing. Since the mobile device is easy to carry, the size and weight of the product are also highly valued by consumers.
為了進一步縮減產品的大小，同時又要兼具較大的螢幕顯示畫面，製造商紛紛開始以觸控螢幕取代傳統按鍵，進而作為行動裝置的輸入及輸出工具。當使用者欲透過觸控螢幕輸入文字時，必須依照所需的語言切換至對應的軟體鍵盤(Software Input Panel，SIP)。詳細地說，由於不同輸入語言所對應的軟體鍵盤各不相同，而每種軟體鍵盤均具有各自的按鍵排列方式，因此使用者不僅需要熟記各種輸入語言所對應之軟體鍵盤的按鍵排列方式，當需要穿插輸入別種語言的文句或符號時，更必須不斷地在多種軟體鍵盤間來回切換，而易造成輸入效率的低落。In order to further reduce the size of the product, but also to have a larger screen display, manufacturers have begun to replace the traditional buttons with touch screens, and then as input and output tools for mobile devices. When the user wants to input text through the touch screen, he/she must switch to the corresponding Software Input Panel (SIP) according to the desired language. In detail, since the software keyboards of different input languages are different, and each software keyboard has its own key arrangement, the user not only needs to memorize the key arrangement of the software keyboard corresponding to various input languages. When you need to intersperse texts or symbols into other languages, you must constantly switch back and forth between multiple software keyboards, which is easy to cause low input efficiency.
本發明提供一種輸入方法及應用此方法的電子裝置與電腦程式產品，以利使用者在透過軟體鍵盤進行輸入時，亦能以手寫輸入多種符號。The present invention provides an input method and an electronic device and a computer program product using the same method, so that a user can input a plurality of symbols by hand when inputting through a software keyboard.
本發明提出一種輸入方法，用於具有觸控螢幕的電子裝置。此方法包括於觸控螢幕上顯示軟體鍵盤(Software Input Panel，SIP)，其中軟體鍵盤以一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言輸入。當軟體鍵盤顯示於觸控螢幕時，自觸控螢幕接收手寫輸入，並根據手寫輸入的軌跡產生輔助符號。The present invention provides an input method for an electronic device having a touch screen. The method includes displaying a Software Input Panel (SIP) on the touch screen, wherein the software keyboard supports multiple language input in a keyboard layout. When the software keyboard is displayed on the touch screen, the handwriting input is received from the touch screen, and the auxiliary symbol is generated according to the track of the handwriting input.
從另一觀點來看，本發明提出一種電子裝置，包括觸控螢幕、偵測模組以及辨識模組。其中觸控螢幕用以顯示一軟體鍵盤，此軟體鍵盤以一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言輸入。偵測模組耦接觸控螢幕，用以在軟體鍵盤顯示於觸控螢幕上時，自觸控螢幕接收手寫輸入。辨識模組耦接觸控螢幕與偵測模組，用以根據手寫輸入的軌跡產生輔助符號。From another point of view, the present invention provides an electronic device including a touch screen, a detection module, and an identification module. The touch screen is used to display a software keyboard, and the software keyboard supports multiple language input in a keyboard layout. The detection module is coupled to the touch screen for receiving handwriting input from the touch screen when the software keyboard is displayed on the touch screen. The identification module is coupled to the touch screen and the detection module for generating auxiliary symbols according to the trajectory of the handwriting input.
從又一觀點來看，本發明提出一種電腦程式產品，包括用以載入具有觸控螢幕之電子裝置的至少一程式指令，上述程式指令在載入電子裝置後，便可執行上述輸入方法。From another point of view, the present invention provides a computer program product comprising at least one program command for loading an electronic device having a touch screen, the program command being capable of executing the input method after loading the electronic device.
基於上述，本發明在觸控螢幕顯示軟體鍵盤以接收按鍵輸入時，亦能透過觸控螢幕接收手寫輸入，進而對應產生多種輔助符號。據此可以減少使用者在不同軟體鍵盤之間切換的次數，從而增加將資料輸入至電子裝置的便利性。Based on the above, when the touch screen displays the software keyboard to receive the key input, the present invention can also receive the handwriting input through the touch screen, thereby correspondingly generating a plurality of auxiliary symbols. Accordingly, the number of times the user switches between different software keyboards can be reduced, thereby increasing the convenience of inputting data to the electronic device.
為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂，下文特舉實施例，並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.
圖1A是依照本發明之一實施例所繪示之電子裝置的方塊圖。請參閱圖1A，電子裝置100包括觸控螢幕110、偵測模組120以及辨識模組130。電子裝置100例如是手機、個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、個人數位助理手機、智慧型手機(smart phone)、電腦、音樂播放器、遊戲裝置、數位相機或其他任何透過觸控螢幕110進行操作的電子裝置。FIG. 1A is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1A , the electronic device 100 includes a touch screen 110 , a detection module 120 , and an identification module 130 . The electronic device 100 is, for example, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal digital assistant mobile phone, a smart phone, a computer, a music player, a game device, a digital camera, or any other through the touch screen 110. An electronic device that operates.
觸控螢幕110可以是電阻式觸控螢幕或電容式觸控螢幕，用以作為電子裝置100的輸入與輸出介面。在本實施例中，觸控螢幕110用以顯示一軟體鍵盤(Software Input Panel，SIP)，此軟體鍵盤是以一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言輸入。亦即，即便使用者切換選擇不同的輸入語言，軟體鍵盤的外觀均不會改變。The touch screen 110 can be a resistive touch screen or a capacitive touch screen for use as an input and output interface of the electronic device 100. In this embodiment, the touch screen 110 is used to display a software keyboard (SIP). The software keyboard supports multiple language input in a keyboard layout. That is, even if the user switches to select a different input language, the appearance of the software keyboard does not change.
圖2是依照本發明之一實施例所繪示之軟體鍵盤的示意圖。在本實施例中，軟體鍵盤200具有28個按鍵，以分布成7列且每列包含4個按鍵的方式顯示於觸控螢幕110。在軟體鍵盤200的每個按鍵上都顯示有對應的標誌。其中的26個按鍵上標示了英文字母A-Z，而位於最後一列的按鍵210、220則分別是具有清除功能以及切換語系功能的功能鍵，在按鍵210與220上亦顯示有代表其功能的圖示。在本實施例中，具有英文字母標誌的該些按鍵係依照英文字母的先後順序依序排列顯示在軟體鍵盤200上。2 is a schematic diagram of a software keyboard according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the software keyboard 200 has 28 buttons, which are displayed on the touch screen 110 in a manner of being distributed in 7 columns and each column includes 4 buttons. A corresponding flag is displayed on each of the keys of the software keyboard 200. The 26 keys are marked with the English letter AZ, and the keys 210 and 220 located in the last column are the function keys with the clear function and the switching language function respectively. The buttons 210 and 220 also display the icons representing their functions. . In this embodiment, the keys having the English alphabetic characters are sequentially displayed on the software keyboard 200 in accordance with the order of the English alphabets.
倘若電子裝置100能提供英文、中文，以及日文三種輸入語言，無論使用者切換至何種輸入語言，軟體鍵盤200仍會保持相同於圖2的鍵盤佈局。舉例來說，當使用者將所欲輸入的語言切換為中文時，電子裝置100例如會提供以拼音為基礎的輸入法，進而讓使用者能利用軟體鍵盤200來輸入中文。在一實施例中，電子裝置100所提供的以拼音為基礎的輸入法是依照注音符號的發音及/或外形來制定注音符號與英文字母的對應關係(此對應關係可如圖3所示，但不以此為限)，進而讓使用者能透過軟體鍵盤200輸入中文。由於軟體鍵盤200是以一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言的輸入，因此使用者只需要熟記一種按鍵的配置方式，而不需要針對不同的輸入語言個別記憶其對應的鍵盤佈局。If the electronic device 100 can provide three input languages of English, Chinese, and Japanese, the software keyboard 200 will remain the same as the keyboard layout of FIG. 2 regardless of the input language to which the user switches. For example, when the user switches the language to be input to Chinese, the electronic device 100 provides, for example, a pinyin-based input method, thereby allowing the user to input the Chinese language using the software keyboard 200. In an embodiment, the pinyin-based input method provided by the electronic device 100 is to determine the correspondence between the phonetic symbols and the English letters according to the pronunciation and/or shape of the phonetic symbols (this correspondence may be as shown in FIG. 3, However, it is not limited to this, so that the user can input Chinese through the software keyboard 200. Since the software keyboard 200 supports input in multiple languages in a keyboard layout, the user only needs to memorize the configuration of one button, and does not need to individually memorize the corresponding keyboard layout for different input languages.
然而必需特別說明的是，圖2所示之軟體鍵盤200僅是為了方便說明所舉出的範例，本發明並不對鍵盤佈局的樣式加以限制。However, it must be particularly noted that the software keyboard 200 shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example for convenience of explanation, and the present invention does not limit the style of the keyboard layout.
偵測模組120耦接觸控螢幕110。當使用者利用手指或觸控筆對觸控螢幕110進行操作時，偵測模組120將自觸控螢幕110接收使用者觸發的輸入訊號。同時，偵測模組120也可取得輸入訊號的位置資訊。The detection module 120 is coupled to the touch screen 110. When the user operates the touch screen 110 with a finger or a stylus, the detection module 120 receives the user-triggered input signal from the touch screen 110. At the same time, the detection module 120 can also obtain the location information of the input signal.
辨識模組130耦接偵測模組120。辨識模組130係用以識別使用者的輸入進而產生對應的文字及/或符號。The identification module 130 is coupled to the detection module 120. The identification module 130 is used to identify the user's input and generate corresponding text and/or symbols.
圖1B是依照本發明之另一實施例所繪示之電子裝置的方塊圖。如圖1B所示，在本實施例中電子裝置100除了包括觸控螢幕110、偵測模組120以及辨識模組130之外，更包括控制模組140。FIG. 1B is a block diagram of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1B , in addition to the touch screen 110 , the detection module 120 , and the identification module 130 , the electronic device 100 further includes a control module 140 .
控制模組140耦接辨識模組130。控制模組140在取得辨識模組130所產生的文字及/或符號後，可控制觸控螢幕110顯示上述文字及/或符號。The control module 140 is coupled to the identification module 130. After obtaining the characters and/or symbols generated by the recognition module 130, the control module 140 can control the touch screen 110 to display the characters and/or symbols.
圖4是依照本發明之一實施例所繪示之輸入方法的流程圖，請同時參閱圖1A與圖4。4 is a flow chart of an input method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 4 at the same time.
首先如步驟410所示，由電子裝置100的觸控螢幕110顯示一軟體鍵盤。此軟體鍵盤將以單一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言輸入。在本實施例中，觸控螢幕110例如是以全螢幕且半透明的方式顯示軟體鍵盤。以圖5為例，假設軟體鍵盤200具有50%的透明度，觸控螢幕110會在目前所顯示之操作畫面510的上方，以全螢幕的方式顯示軟體鍵盤200。以全螢幕的方式顯示軟體鍵盤200可使其每一按鍵的顯示區域增加，以降低使用者誤按按鍵的情況，又由於以半透明的方式顯示軟體鍵盤200，因此即使軟體鍵盤200是以全螢幕顯示，使用者仍然能透過軟體鍵盤200看到顯示在軟體鍵盤200下方的操作畫面510。First, as shown in step 410, a software keyboard is displayed by the touch screen 110 of the electronic device 100. This software keyboard will support multiple language input in a single keyboard layout. In the embodiment, the touch screen 110 displays the software keyboard in a full screen and translucent manner, for example. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, assuming that the software keyboard 200 has 50% transparency, the touch screen 110 displays the software keyboard 200 in a full screen manner above the currently displayed operation screen 510. Displaying the software keyboard 200 in a full screen manner can increase the display area of each button to reduce the user's accidental pressing of the button, and since the software keyboard 200 is displayed in a translucent manner, even if the software keyboard 200 is full The screen shows that the user can still see the operation screen 510 displayed under the software keyboard 200 through the software keyboard 200.
當軟體鍵盤顯示於觸控螢幕110上時，接著如步驟420所示，偵測模組120自觸控螢幕120接收一手寫輸入。在本實施例中，手寫輸入可發生在觸控螢幕120的任意位置。舉例來說，手寫輸入可以是在觸控螢幕120顯示軟體鍵盤的區域之內，或是在軟體鍵盤顯示區域之外的另一區域。When the software keyboard is displayed on the touch screen 110, then as shown in step 420, the detection module 120 receives a handwriting input from the touch screen 120. In the present embodiment, handwriting input can occur anywhere in the touch screen 120. For example, the handwriting input may be within the area where the touch screen 120 displays the software keyboard or another area outside the software keyboard display area.
接下來如步驟430所示，由辨識模組130根據手寫輸入的軌跡產生輔助符號。其中，輔助符號可以是標點符號及/或在使用者所選擇的輸入語言下任何在輸入資料時可能需要使用到的符號。舉例來說，當電子裝置100被設定為日文輸入模式時，辨識模組130因應手寫輸入之軌跡而產生的輔助符號可包括濁音符號以及半濁音符號。更詳細地說，當辨識模組130識別手寫輸入的軌跡是連續兩點時，所對應產生的輔助符號是日文裡的濁音符號；當辨識模組130識別出手寫輸入的軌跡是圓圈時，對應產生的輔助符號則是日文裡的半濁音符號。另舉例來說，當電子裝置100被設定為中文輸入模式時，辨識模組130因應手寫輸入之軌跡而產生的輔助符號可包括注音的聲調符號。更詳細地說，當辨識模組130識別出手寫輸入的軌跡是圓圈時，對應產生的輔助符號是注音裡的輕聲符號；當辨識模組130識別手寫輸入的軌跡是連續兩點時，對應產生的輔助符號是注音裡的一聲符號；當辨識模組130識別出手寫輸入的軌跡是斜向右上方的線條時，對應產生的輔助符號是中的二聲符號；在辨識模組130識別出手寫輸入的軌跡是打勾線條時，對應產生的輔助符號是注音裡的三聲符號；而當辨識模組130識別出手寫輸入的軌跡是斜向右下方的線條時，對應產生的輔助符號則是注音裡的四聲符號。Next, as shown in step 430, the recognition module 130 generates an auxiliary symbol based on the trajectory of the handwritten input. The auxiliary symbol may be a punctuation mark and/or any symbol that may be needed when inputting data under the input language selected by the user. For example, when the electronic device 100 is set to the Japanese input mode, the auxiliary symbols generated by the recognition module 130 in response to the trajectory of the handwriting input may include voiced symbols and semi-voiced symbols. In more detail, when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the trajectory of the handwriting input is two consecutive points, the corresponding auxiliary symbol generated is a voiced symbol in Japanese; when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the trajectory of the handwriting input is a circle, corresponding The auxiliary symbols produced are semi-voiced symbols in Japanese. For another example, when the electronic device 100 is set to the Chinese input mode, the auxiliary symbol generated by the recognition module 130 in response to the trajectory of the handwriting input may include the phonetic symbol. In more detail, when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the trajectory of the handwriting input is a circle, the corresponding auxiliary symbol generated is a soft sound symbol in the phonetic; when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the trajectory of the handwriting input is two consecutive points, the corresponding generation occurs. The auxiliary symbol is a symbol in the phonetic; when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the trajectory of the handwriting input is a line obliquely to the upper right, the corresponding auxiliary symbol is a two-symbol symbol; the recognition module 130 recognizes When the handwriting input track is a tick line, the corresponding auxiliary symbol is a three-symbol symbol in the phonetic; and when the recognition module 130 recognizes that the handwriting input track is a line obliquely to the lower right, the corresponding auxiliary symbol is generated. It is the four symbols in the phonetic.
在另一實施例中，當辨識模組130根據手寫輸入的軌跡而產生輔助符號後，圖1B所示之控制模組140可控制觸控螢幕110顯示該輔助符號。舉例來說，當辨識模組130根據使用者的手寫輸入而產生標點符號時，控制模組140會控制觸控螢幕110在電子裝置100目前所執行之應用程式的輸入欄位中顯示該標點符號，並以該標點符號作為輸入資料。另舉例來說，當辨識模組130根據手寫輸入的軌跡產生一或多個候選輔助符號時，控制模組140便控制觸控螢幕110顯示上述候選輔助符號以供使用者選擇。在使用者進行選擇後，控制模組140會控制觸控螢幕110在電子裝置100目前所執行之應用程式的輸入欄位中，顯示使用者選擇的候選輔助符號，並將此候選輔助符號視為電子裝置100的輸入資料。In another embodiment, after the recognition module 130 generates the auxiliary symbol according to the trajectory of the handwriting input, the control module 140 shown in FIG. 1B can control the touch screen 110 to display the auxiliary symbol. For example, when the recognition module 130 generates a punctuation mark according to the user's handwriting input, the control module 140 controls the touch screen 110 to display the punctuation mark in the input field of the application currently executed by the electronic device 100. And use the punctuation as input material. For another example, when the recognition module 130 generates one or more candidate auxiliary symbols according to the trajectory of the handwriting input, the control module 140 controls the touch screen 110 to display the candidate auxiliary symbols for the user to select. After the user makes a selection, the control module 140 controls the touch screen 110 to display the candidate auxiliary symbol selected by the user in the input field of the application currently executed by the electronic device 100, and regards the candidate auxiliary symbol as Input data of the electronic device 100.
圖6是依照本發明之另一實施例所繪示之輸入方法的流程圖，請同時參閱圖1B與圖6。FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an input method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 6 at the same time.
首先如步驟610所示，由電子裝置100的觸控螢幕110顯示軟體鍵盤，此軟體鍵盤將以單一種鍵盤佈局支援多種語言輸入。為了方便說明，在本實施例中假設軟體鍵盤可支援中文輸入，且電子裝置100的輸入語言被設定為中文。此時，電子裝置100所提供的輸入法例如是依照圖3所示之注音符號與英文字母的對應關係來讓使用者輸入中文。First, as shown in step 610, the software keyboard is displayed by the touch screen 110 of the electronic device 100. The software keyboard supports multiple language input in a single keyboard layout. For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the software keyboard can support Chinese input, and the input language of the electronic device 100 is set to Chinese. At this time, the input method provided by the electronic device 100 is, for example, a user's input of Chinese according to the correspondence between the phonetic symbols and the English letters shown in FIG. 3.
接著在步驟620中，偵測模組120自軟體鍵盤接收至少一按鍵輸入，並自觸控螢幕110接收手寫輸入。而在步驟630中，辨識模組130取得各按鍵輸入所分別代表的注音符號，並根據手寫輸入的軌跡產生輔助符號。其中，辨識模組130所產生的輔助符號例如是注音的聲調符號。Next, in step 620, the detection module 120 receives at least one key input from the software keyboard and receives the handwriting input from the touch screen 110. In step 630, the recognition module 130 obtains the phonetic symbols respectively represented by the respective button inputs, and generates auxiliary symbols according to the trajectory of the handwriting input. The auxiliary symbol generated by the identification module 130 is, for example, a phonetic symbol.
接下來在步驟640中，辨識模組130根據按鍵輸入以及輔助符號(即注音的聲調符號)產生至少一候選字。最後如步驟650所示，由控制模組140控制觸控螢幕110顯示上述候選字以供使用者選擇。Next, in step 640, the recognition module 130 generates at least one candidate word based on the key input and the auxiliary symbol (ie, the phonetic symbol of the phonetic). Finally, as shown in step 650, the control module 140 controls the touch screen 110 to display the candidate words for selection by the user.
在一實施例中，控制模組140會控制觸控螢幕110以全螢幕的方式顯示候選字，進而以較大的畫面呈現候選字以利使用者進行選取。在另一實施例中，顯示於觸控螢幕110的候選字例如具有透明度，故使用者仍能看到位於候選字下方的操作畫面。當使用者完成選擇動作後，被選擇的候選字則會顯示在電子裝置100目前所執行之應用程式的輸入欄位，並且被視為電子裝置100的輸入資料。In an embodiment, the control module 140 controls the touch screen 110 to display the candidate words in a full screen manner, thereby presenting the candidate words on a larger screen for the user to select. In another embodiment, the candidate words displayed on the touch screen 110 have transparency, for example, so that the user can still see the operation screen located below the candidate words. After the user completes the selection action, the selected candidate word is displayed in the input field of the application currently executed by the electronic device 100, and is regarded as the input data of the electronic device 100.
延續前述實施例，當使用者將電子裝置100的輸入語言設定為中文，並要透過如圖2所示之軟體鍵盤200來輸入中文字「我」時，只需按下軟體鍵盤200上標示有英文字母“W”及“O”的按鍵，並在觸控螢幕110上劃出一個打勾的手勢。透過偵測模組120及辨識模組130的運作，便可產生「我」、「婐」、「捰」這三個候選字以供使用者選擇。另外當使用者需要輸入標點符號時，也只需要在觸控螢幕110上以手寫的方式進行輸入，便可將標點符號輸入至電子裝置100。Continuing the foregoing embodiment, when the user sets the input language of the electronic device 100 to Chinese and enters the Chinese character "I" through the software keyboard 200 as shown in FIG. 2, the user only needs to press the software keyboard 200 to indicate that The keys of the English letters "W" and "O" are marked with a tick gesture on the touch screen 110. Through the operation of the detection module 120 and the identification module 130, three candidate words "I", "婐" and "捰" can be generated for the user to select. In addition, when the user needs to input punctuation marks, the user only needs to input by handwriting on the touch screen 110, and the punctuation marks can be input to the electronic device 100.
如上所示，由於電子裝置100能在提供鍵盤輸入時同時支援手寫輸入，因此當使用者在利用顯示於觸控螢幕110上的軟體鍵盤輸入字詞時，可直接透過手寫的方式輸入所需的標點符號，而不需要切換到其他符號鍵盤。而在使用者利用軟體鍵盤輸入中文時，也能直接用手寫的方式輸入聲調符號以完成中文字的輸入。換句話說，由於不需在軟體鍵盤設置聲調符號的按鍵，原本需要用來顯示聲調符號按鍵的空間便能挪為他用，且支援手寫輸入各式符號也能讓輸入動作變得更直觀、便利。As shown in the above, since the electronic device 100 can simultaneously support the handwriting input when the keyboard input is provided, when the user inputs a word by using the software keyboard displayed on the touch screen 110, the user can input the desired word directly by handwriting. Punctuation without having to switch to another symbol keyboard. When the user inputs Chinese using the software keyboard, the tone symbol can also be input directly by handwriting to complete the input of the Chinese character. In other words, since there is no need to set the tone symbol on the software keyboard, the space that is needed to display the tone symbol button can be used for other purposes, and the support for handwriting input of various symbols can also make the input action more intuitive. convenient.
本發明另提供一種電腦程式產品，此電腦程式產品基本上是由數個程式指令所組成。這些程式指令在載入具有觸控螢幕的電子裝置並執行之後，便可完成上述輸入方法的各步驟，同時使得電子裝置實現上述實施例所說明的功能。其中，電腦程式產品可以儲存在任何資料儲存裝置(包.括唯讀記憶體、隨機存取記憶體、磁帶、軟碟、硬碟、光碟片以及傳輸媒體等等)，或是經由網路直接傳輸提供，在此並不限制其範圍。The invention further provides a computer program product, which is basically composed of a plurality of program instructions. After the program instructions are loaded and executed by the electronic device having the touch screen, the steps of the above input method can be completed, and at the same time, the electronic device can implement the functions described in the above embodiments. The computer program product can be stored in any data storage device (including read-only memory, random access memory, tape, floppy disk, hard disk, optical disk, transmission media, etc.), or directly via the network.
