Description
本發明是有關於一種信息瀏覽方法及裝置，且特別是有關於一種根據觸碰訊號排序信息以供使用者瀏覽的方法及裝置。The present invention relates to an information browsing method and apparatus, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for sorting information according to a touch signal for a user to browse.
為配合現代人繁忙的生活節奏，各種不佔空間且攜帶方便的可攜式電子裝置也推陳出新。以個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)手機為例，其不僅具備了傳統通訊裝置的各項功能，更能讓使用者透過其內建的視窗作業系統來達到撰寫文件、收發電子郵件、瀏覽網路，或是使用即時通訊軟體等目的。也就是說，這樣的可攜式電子裝置不但可以用來撥打電話，更宛如小型個人電腦般地能提供各種多樣化功能。而隨著無線網路技術的進步，這些功能的使用也不再受到時間與空間上的限制，對凡事講求效率的現代人來說，這種裝置已然成為生活中不可或缺的工具之一。In order to cope with the busy life pace of modern people, all kinds of portable electronic devices that do not occupy space and are convenient to carry are also innovated. Take the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) mobile phone as an example. It not only has the functions of the traditional communication device, but also allows users to write files, send and receive emails, and browse through its built-in window operating system. Internet, or use instant messaging software. That is to say, such a portable electronic device can be used not only to make a call, but also to provide various functions like a small personal computer. With the advancement of wireless network technology, the use of these functions is no longer limited by time and space. For modern people who are efficient in everything, this device has become one of the indispensable tools in life.
然而，對於外型要求輕、薄、短、小的可攜式電子裝置來說，其本身的體積受到相當限制，倘若要在裝置上同時配置螢幕及鍵盤，則勢必要縮小螢幕的尺寸。而為了能夠在有限的空間中配置較大的螢幕，最近則發展出一種觸碰式螢幕，利用將鍵盤整合至螢幕中以做為可攜式電子裝置的輸入介面，而能夠省去配置傳統鍵盤的成本及所佔用的面積。However, for a portable electronic device that requires a light, thin, short, and small form factor, its own size is quite limited. If the screen and the keyboard are to be simultaneously configured on the device, it is necessary to reduce the size of the screen. In order to be able to configure a larger screen in a limited space, a touch screen has recently been developed, which integrates the keyboard into the screen as an input interface of the portable electronic device, thereby eliminating the need to configure a conventional keyboard. Cost and area occupied.
觸碰式螢幕的操作方式相較於傳統的鍵盤輸入來說具有簡單、直覺的優勢。與傳統鍵盤比較可發現，使用者在使用傳統鍵盤操作電子裝置時，必須一邊對照螢幕上的畫面一邊按壓鍵盤，才能順利完成文字輸入或選單切換等操作動作；然而，若是採用觸碰式螢幕來操作電子裝置，則使用者只需使用觸控筆(stylus)點選或是直接用手指按壓，即可輕易在螢幕上執行各種操作動作。由此可見，觸碰式螢幕實為一種更為便利的輸入方式。The touch screen operates in a simple, intuitive way compared to traditional keyboard input. Compared with the traditional keyboard, the user must use the traditional keyboard to operate the electronic device, and must press the keyboard while pressing the screen on the screen to successfully complete the operation of text input or menu switching; however, if a touch screen is used By operating the electronic device, the user can easily perform various operations on the screen by simply clicking on the stylus or directly pressing with a finger. It can be seen that the touch screen is a more convenient input method.
然而，觸碰式螢幕的螢幕仍然有限，而可攜式電子裝置中儲存的資料則相對龐大，為了在有限的螢幕空間內呈現這些資料，一般是採用條列的方式將這些資料一筆筆的呈現在使用者介面中以供使用者瀏覽及檢視。使用者點選其中某筆資料的選項時，可攜式電子裝置才會在其螢幕上顯示該筆資料的內容，但這樣的瀏覽方式只能選擇單純地條列資料選項或是只顯示單筆資料內容，並無法在顯示資料內容的同時也設定條件來將資料排序，對於想要找尋特定條件之資料的使用者來說，仍顯得不夠方便。However, the screen of the touch screen is still limited, and the data stored in the portable electronic device is relatively large.
