As shown in FIG. 5, seven display objects such as display objects 126a-126g are located on the rear interface layer 126.
於使用者操作介面122的同一個畫面下，當不同介面層上的顯示物件至少一部份重疊時，該觸控感測方法係以介面層各自的圖層深度參數作為先後次序，進而顯示顯示物件，如第3圖中，前介面層124的顯示物件124a部份覆蓋於後介面層126的顯示物件126a上。In the same screen of the user operation interface 122, when at least a part of the display objects on the different interface layers overlap, the touch sensing method uses the layer depth parameters of the interface layer as a sequence, thereby displaying the display object. As shown in FIG. 3, the display object 124a of the front interface layer 124 partially covers the display object 126a of the rear interface layer 126.
於本實施例中，透過不同圖層深度的設計，使用者操作介面122具有三個維度的操作介面特性，可在有限的空間下容納更多的顯示物件。In the present embodiment, through the design of different layer depths, the user operation interface 122 has three dimensions of operation interface characteristics, and can accommodate more display objects in a limited space.
在實際執行觸控輸入的感測判斷之過程中，本實施例的處理單元160根據觸控模組140產生之觸控輸入的深度座標與上述多個介面層(如前介面層124與後介面層126) 之圖層深度參數對照，隨後根據觸控輸入的深度座標與圖層深度參數對照的對照結果將觸控輸入映射(mapping)至其中一個介面層。In the process of actually performing the sensing and determining of the touch input, the processing unit 160 of the embodiment is configured according to the depth coordinates of the touch input generated by the touch module 140 and the plurality of interface layers (eg, the front interface layer 124 and the rear interface).

以下利用實施例說明，如何根據觸控輸入的特性產生相異的深度座標，以及如何根據觸控輸入的深度座標與圖層深度參數將觸控輸入映射至適當的介面層。於第3圖至第5圖的實施例中，以觸控模組140包含兩組觸控感測器(第一觸控感測器142與第二觸控感測器144)的例子作舉例說明。The following describes how to generate different depth coordinates according to the characteristics of the touch input, and how to map the touch input to the appropriate interface layer according to the depth coordinates and layer depth parameters of the touch input. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , the example in which the touch module 140 includes two sets of touch sensors (the first touch sensor 142 and the second touch sensor 144 ) is used as an example. Description.
當位於正面的第一觸控感測器142感測到使用者操作並產生觸控輸入時，觸控輸入被映射至前介面層124，用以對前介面層上的顯示物件124a~124e進行選取或執行操作功能；另一方面，當位於背面的第二觸控感測器144感測到使用者操作並產生觸控輸入時，觸控輸入被映射至後介面層126，用以對後介面層126上的顯示物件126a~126g進行選取或執行一操作功能。也就是說，當其中一個觸控感測器(第一觸控感測器142或第二觸控感測器144)感測到觸控輸入時，根據由不同觸控感測器感測到觸控輸入作為區別而產生相異的一深度座標。接著，將觸控輸入之深度座標與介面層之圖層深度參數對照，並根據對照結果將觸控輸入映射至其中一個相對應的介面層。如第3圖至第5圖的實施例中，不同觸控感測器可設置在不同的位置(如裝置的相異表面上)。When the first touch sensor 142 located on the front side senses the user's operation and generates a touch input, the touch input is mapped to the front interface layer 124 for displaying the display objects 124a-124e on the front interface layer. Selecting or performing an operation function; on the other hand, when the second touch sensor 144 located at the back senses the user's operation and generates a touch input, the touch input is mapped to the rear interface layer 126 for Display objects 126a-126g on interface layer 126 select or perform an operational function. That is, when one of the touch sensors (the first touch sensor 142 or the second touch sensor 144) senses the touch input, it is sensed according to different touch sensors. The touch input produces a different depth coordinate as a difference. Then, the depth coordinate of the touch input is compared with the layer depth parameter of the interface layer, and the touch input is mapped to one of the corresponding interface layers according to the comparison result. As in the embodiments of Figures 3 to 5, different touch sensors can be placed at different locations (e.g., on different surfaces of the device).

Sensors, optical sensors, sonic sensors or other equivalent touch sensors.
於實際應用中，第一觸控感測器142可採用電容式感測器，而第二觸控感測器124可採用聲波式感測器。如第1圖之實施例所示，設置於正面的第一觸控感測器142採用電容式感測器較方便與顯示模組120進行整合，且電容式感測器可具有較高的精準度。另一方面，設置於背面的第二觸控感測器144採用聲波式感測器，較不受硬體配置的影響，可利用碰觸產生的聲音來分辨觸碰座標，不需要平整的感測表面，便於與其他硬體共存，例如可與電池模組鄰近設置。In practical applications, the first touch sensor 142 can employ a capacitive sensor, and the second touch sensor 124 can employ a sonic sensor. As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1 , the first touch sensor 142 disposed on the front side is more conveniently integrated with the display module 120 by using a capacitive sensor, and the capacitive sensor can have higher precision. degree. On the other hand, the second touch sensor 144 disposed on the back side adopts an acoustic wave sensor, which is less affected by the hardware configuration, and can use the sound generated by the touch to distinguish the touch coordinates, and does not need a flat feeling. The surface is measured to facilitate coexistence with other hardware, for example, adjacent to the battery module.
此外，本實施例中，分別利用設置於正面與背面的兩個觸控感測器(第一觸控感測器142、第二觸控感測器144)來形成不同深度座標的觸控輸入，而此深度座標用以對應到使用者操作介面122上的不同介面層(前介面層124與後介面層126)，形成三維的使用者操作介面122與三維的觸控感測方法，其深度座標基於不同觸控感測器而訂，辨視上十分容易，且具有高精準度。設置於不同表面的兩個觸控感測器亦不容易互相干擾。In addition, in this embodiment, two touch sensors (first touch sensor 142 and second touch sensor 144) disposed on the front and back sides are respectively used to form touch inputs of different depth coordinates. The depth coordinate is used to correspond to different interface layers (front interface layer 124 and rear interface layer 126) on the user operation interface 122 to form a three-dimensional user operation interface 122 and a three-dimensional touch sensing method. The coordinates are based on different touch sensors, making it easy to identify and with high precision. Two touch sensors disposed on different surfaces are also less likely to interfere with each other.
此外，在本案的使用者操作介面122上，使用者可以由第二觸控感測器144直接點選位於後方的顯示物件126a~126g，可避免在點選的過程中誤觸前介面層124上其他顯示物件。例如當使用者要執行照相功能時，可直接由第二觸控感測器144選取顯示物件126b，可避免傳統由正面觸控方式下容易誤觸代表通話功能的顯示物件124b。而 當使用者要執行通話功能時，可由正面的第一觸控感測器142選取顯示物件124b，可避免誤觸鄰近代表照相功能的顯示物件126b。In addition, in the user operation interface 122 of the present application, the user can directly select the display objects 126a-126g located at the rear by the second touch sensor 144, thereby avoiding accidentally touching the front interface layer 124 during the selection process. The other displayed objects. For example, when the user wants to perform the camera function, the display object 126b can be directly selected by the second touch sensor 144, which can avoid the display object 124b which is easy to be mistakenly touched by the front touch mode. and When the user wants to perform the call function, the display object 124b can be selected by the front first touch sensor 142 to avoid accidentally touching the display object 126b adjacent to the camera function.
相較之下，部份傳統的使用者操作介面，以資料夾方式來管理顯示物件，此情況下，使用者無法直接由住桌面上點選特定的顯示物件，且須記憶顯示物件係分類於哪一個資料夾。或是，部份傳統的使用者操作介面利用單次點擊、或多次點擊來區分前後位置的顯示物件，操作上甚為不便。In contrast, some traditional user operation interfaces manage the display objects by means of folders. In this case, the user cannot directly select a specific display object from the desktop, and the memory display items are classified into Which folder. Or, some traditional user operation interfaces use a single click or multiple clicks to distinguish display objects in front and rear positions, which is inconvenient in operation.
在上述實施例中，可攜式電子裝置100的觸控模組140包含了設置於正面、背面不同位置的第一觸控感測器142與第二觸控感測器144來產生不同深度座標的觸控輸入，但本發明並不以兩組且正反兩面為限。於另一實施例中，觸控模組140可具有三組或以上的觸控感測器，以產生更多階層變化的深度座標並進而對應更多個介面層。In the above embodiment, the touch module 140 of the portable electronic device 100 includes the first touch sensor 142 and the second touch sensor 144 disposed at different positions on the front and the back to generate different depth coordinates.

For example, the touch module 140 can include and display the module. A fitted capacitive sensor and an optical sensor disposed above it.

That is, according to the vertical amplitude of the user's pressing, the touch input of different depth coordinates is generated.

The difference between the lower pressing (resistive sensing), that is, the touch input of different depth coordinates may be generated according to the vertical amplitude of the user's pressing, wherein the capacitive sensing and the resistive sensing are well known to those skilled in the art. I will not repeat them here.
此外，另一實施例中，觸控模組140亦可包含至少一觸控感測器與一壓力感測器，或是包含本身可分辨觸碰壓力之觸控感測器(如電阻式感測器)。利用使用者手指向下按壓所產生按壓應力的大小不同，即根據使用者的按壓應力來產生不同的深度座標。In addition, in another embodiment, the touch module 140 can also include at least one touch sensor and a pressure sensor, or a touch sensor including a self-resolvable touch pressure (such as a resistance sense).
