Description

觸控裝置 Touch device

本發明係關於一種觸控裝置，尤指一種兼具有主動模式區與非主動模式區的觸控裝置。 The present invention relates to a touch device, and more particularly to a touch device having both an active mode area and an inactive mode area.

第1圖係先前技術的傳統觸控板(touchpad)100位於筆記型電腦110之示意圖。傳統觸控板100係設置於例如筆記型電腦110作為輸入介面，以供使用者藉由多種手勢(gestures)執行操控游標(cursor)、點選螢幕上物件、縮放視窗及拖曳頁面等多種操作。傳統觸控板100之尺寸相當小(例如5公分×5公分)，導致使用者難以在小面積觸控板以手指或觸控筆(stylus)執行上述各種手勢操作，對使用者而言極不便利，也導致使用者在操作傳統觸控板100時的感覺普遍不佳。 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional touchpad 100 of the prior art located in the notebook computer 110. The conventional touch panel 100 is disposed, for example, as the input interface of the notebook computer 110 for the user to perform various operations such as manipulating a cursor, clicking an on-screen object, zooming a window, and dragging a page by using a plurality of gestures. The size of the conventional touch panel 100 is relatively small (for example, 5 cm x 5 cm), which makes it difficult for a user to perform the above various gesture operations with a finger or a stylus on a small area touch panel, which is extremely undesirable for the user. Convenience also causes the user to feel generally uncomfortable when operating the conventional touch panel 100.

第2圖係本發明一實施例之觸控裝置200位於筆記型電腦210的示意圖。不同於第1圖所示的先前技術之觸控裝置100，觸控裝置200的面積已擴展為例如(但不限於)筆記型電腦之鍵盤下方90%以上之面積，因此使用者可更加便利地於大面積觸控裝置，藉由手指或觸控筆(stylus)執行觸碰操作。 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the touch device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Different from the prior art touch device 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the area of the touch device 200 has been expanded to, for example, but not limited to, more than 90% of the area under the keyboard of the notebook computer, so that the user can more conveniently For large-area touch devices, a touch operation is performed by a finger or a stylus.

第3圖係本發明一實施例之觸控裝置300的佈局(layout)示意圖。承上述，觸控裝置面積擴大可提昇使用者操作之便利度，但需解決誤觸問題。觸控裝置300包含主動模式區310、非主動模式區320與非主動模式區330，主動模式區310係置於觸控裝置300的中央區域，非主動模式區320與非主動模式區330則分別置於觸控裝置300的左側區域與右側區域。當使用者在主動模式區300以觸碰物體O_tch(例如手指或觸控筆)執行單擊手勢(single click gesture)時觸控裝置300會對應地執行一點選操作，舉例而言，此時若螢幕之游標位於一物件或一圖示(icon)上，藉由該單擊手勢，使用者即可點選該物件或該圖示。然而，當使用者在非主動模式區320與非主動模式區330執行單擊手勢時，觸控裝置300並不會對應地執行點選操作。 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a layout of a touch device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In view of the above, the enlargement of the touch device area can improve the convenience of the user's operation, but the problem of mis-touching needs to be solved. The touch device 300 includes an active mode area 310, an inactive mode area 320, and an inactive mode area 330. The active mode area 310 is placed in a central area of the touch device 300, and the inactive mode area 320 and the inactive mode area 330 are respectively The left side area and the right side area of the touch device 300 are placed. When the user performs a single click gesture in the active mode area 300 by touching the object O _tch (for example, a finger or a stylus pen), the touch device 300 performs a one-click operation correspondingly, for example, at this time. If the cursor of the screen is located on an object or an icon, the user can click on the object or the icon by the click gesture. However, when the user performs a click gesture in the inactive mode area 320 and the inactive mode area 330, the touch device 300 does not perform the click operation correspondingly.

第4圖至第6圖係本發明實施例中非主動模式區320接收手勢的示意圖。如第4圖所示，若使用者因誤觸而以單擊手勢410觸碰到非主動模式區320，觸控裝置300並不會對應地執行錯誤的點選操作。同理，若於非主動模式區330接收單擊手勢410，觸控裝置300亦不會對應地執行點選操作。 4 to 6 are schematic diagrams of the inactive mode area 320 receiving a gesture in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, if the user touches the inactive mode area 320 with a click gesture 410 due to a false touch, the touch device 300 does not perform an erroneous click operation correspondingly. Similarly, if the click gesture 410 is received in the inactive mode area 330, the touch device 300 does not perform the click operation correspondingly.

然而，如第5圖所示，若使用者於非主動模式區330先以觸碰物體O_tch(例如手指或觸控筆)執行單擊手勢，又接續地執行一有效手勢，則會喚醒(wake up)非主動模式區使其進入主動模式而成為主動模式區，並執行一有效操作。舉例而言，若使用者於非主動模式區330執行拖曳手勢(drag gesture)420以企圖移動一螢幕上之物件，拖曳手勢420實質上係由兩手勢組成：(1)第一手勢4201：觸碰物體O_tch(例如手指或觸控筆)一開始觸碰到非主動模式區330，其實質上等同於上述的單擊手勢410；(2)第二手勢4202：觸碰物體O_tch在持續接觸而不離開非主動模式區330的情況下拖曳移動。 However, as shown in FIG. 5, if the user performs a click gesture by touching the object O _tch (for example, a finger or a stylus pen) in the inactive mode area 330, and then successively executes an effective gesture, the user wakes up ( Wake up) The non-active mode area causes it to enter the active mode and become the active mode area, and performs an effective operation. For example, if the user performs a drag gesture 420 in the inactive mode area 330 in an attempt to move an object on the screen, the drag gesture 420 is essentially composed of two gestures: (1) the first gesture 4201: touch The touch object O _tch (eg, a finger or a stylus) initially touches the inactive mode area 330, which is substantially equivalent to the click gesture 410 described above; (2) the second gesture 4202: touching the object O _tch at Dragging moves with continuous contact without leaving the inactive mode zone 330.

根據本發明實施例，連接於觸控裝置300且具記憶功能之處理單元PU(如第5圖所示)，會在觸控裝置300之非主動模式區330接收到第一手勢4201時，將第一手勢4201之資訊(如時間、座標等)先行儲存但不對應地執行任何操作，之後，若觸控裝置300並未接續地接收到第二手勢4202，則在經過一預定時段(例如3秒)後，處理單元PU將其所記憶之第一手勢4201之資訊予以拋棄不計；然而，若觸控裝置300接收第一手勢4201後，觸控裝置300接續地接收到第二手勢4202，且第二手勢4202係為有效手勢(meaningful gesture)，則非主動模式區330會進入主動模式並執行有效操作，以第5圖之示例而言，該有效操作即是一拖曳操作。簡言之，根據本發明實施例，非主動模式區僅接收到第一手勢時並不會執行有效操作，因此可避免誤觸，但若接續地接收到的第二手勢係為有效手勢，則會執行有效操作。因此，使用者實質上難以察覺到觸控裝置300之非主動模式區320及非主動模式區330相較於主動模式區310之區別，僅知觸控裝置300(含主動模式區310、非主動模式區320與非主動模式區330)係一大面積觸控裝置，但本發明實施例已藉由非主動模式區320與非主動模式區330之設置，將大面積觸控裝置之可能誤觸問題予以預防。上述非主動模式區330接收到的第一手勢4201與第二手勢4202組成拖曳手勢420僅為舉例，非主動模式區330接收到的第一手勢與第二手勢亦可為別種有效手勢。例如第6圖所示，第一手勢5201係雷同於第5圖之第一手勢4201為單擊手勢，但第6圖之第二手勢5202係另一單擊手勢，故第6圖之第一手勢5201與第二手勢5202係組成雙擊手勢(double click gesture)520，由於雙擊手勢520係一有效手勢，故當非主動模式區330接收到第一手勢5201與第二手勢5202，非主動模式區330亦會進入主動模式而執行有效操作(如開啟游標所在之檔案)。 According to the embodiment of the present invention, the processing unit PU (shown in FIG. 5) connected to the touch device 300 and having the memory function will receive the first gesture 4201 when the inactive mode area 330 of the touch device 300 receives the first gesture 4201. The information of the first gesture 4201 (such as time, coordinates, etc.) is stored first but not Any operation is performed locally. Thereafter, if the touch device 300 does not successively receive the second gesture 4202, the processing unit PU will remember the first gesture 4201 after a predetermined period of time (for example, 3 seconds). The information is discarded; however, if the touch device 300 receives the first gesture 4201, the touch device 300 successively receives the second gesture 4202, and the second gesture 4202 is a meaningful gesture. The inactive mode zone 330 enters the active mode and performs an efficient operation. In the example of FIG. 5, the active operation is a drag operation. In short, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the inactive mode zone does not perform an effective operation only when the first gesture is received, so that the false touch can be avoided, but if the second gesture received successively is a valid gesture, A valid action is taken. Therefore, it is substantially difficult for the user to perceive the difference between the inactive mode area 320 and the inactive mode area 330 of the touch device 300 compared to the active mode area 310. Only the touch device 300 (including the active mode area 310, inactive) is known. The mode area 320 and the inactive mode area 330) are a large area touch device. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the non-active mode area 320 and the inactive mode area 330 are disposed, and the large-area touch device may be accidentally touched. The problem is prevented. The first gesture 4201 and the second gesture 4202 received by the inactive mode area 330 constitute a drag gesture 420. The first gesture and the second gesture received by the inactive mode area 330 may also be other effective gestures. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first gesture 5201 is the same as the first gesture 4201 of FIG. 5 is a click gesture, but the second gesture 5202 of FIG. 6 is another click gesture, so the sixth figure is A gesture 5201 and a second gesture 5202 constitute a double click gesture 520. Since the double tap gesture 520 is an effective gesture, when the inactive mode area 330 receives the first gesture 5201 and the second gesture 5202, The active mode area 330 also enters the active mode and performs effective operations (such as opening the file where the cursor is located).

上述實施例中，處理單元PU係藉由時間門檻與距離門檻，判斷非主動模式區接收第一手勢後，該非主動模式區是否接續地接收到第二手勢。 In the above embodiment, the processing unit PU determines whether the inactive mode area receives the second gesture after receiving the first gesture by the time threshold and the distance threshold.

如第6圖所示，第一手勢5201與第二手勢5202之間有手勢距離 L。第7圖係第6圖之第一手勢5201與第二手勢5202之時間圖，如第7圖所示，非主動模式區330係於時點t1接收到第一手勢5021，並於時點t2接收到第二手勢5022，因此可得手勢時間差T。根據本發明一實施例，由於使用者以指尖執行雙擊手勢之兩次點擊的時間差經統計約落於20毫秒(milli-sec)至2秒之範圍，且雙擊手勢之兩次點擊的距離差經統計約小於2公分，故處理單元PU可由下列表格α判斷，第二手勢5202之於第一手勢5201是否為一有效手勢而需執行對應的有效操作： As shown in FIG. 6, there is a gesture distance L between the first gesture 5201 and the second gesture 5202. 7 is a time diagram of the first gesture 5201 and the second gesture 5202 of FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 7, the inactive mode area 330 receives the first gesture 5021 at time t1 and receives at time t2. The second gesture 5022 is reached, so that the gesture time difference T is available. According to an embodiment of the invention, the time difference between the two clicks of the user performing the double tap gesture with the fingertip is statistically within a range of 20 milliseconds (milli-sec) to 2 seconds, and the distance difference between the two clicks of the double tap gesture The statistics are less than 2 cm, so the processing unit PU can be judged by the following table α. The second gesture 5202 is required to perform a corresponding effective operation for whether the first gesture 5201 is a valid gesture:

上述之時間門檻被制訂為20毫秒至2秒之區間，係因若兩手勢發生時間太相近，則可能為機器雜訊造成，而若發生時間相隔太久，則可能為兩次不相關之誤觸，故時間門檻被制訂為一區間。距離門檻設為2公分以下，則是由於經統計得知的雙擊手勢最可能之發生距離係小於2公分，若兩手勢相距太遠，亦可能為兩次不相關之誤觸。然而，此處所述的時間門檻與距離門檻僅用以舉例說明本發明原理，而非用以限制本發明之範圍，研發人員、使用者或生產者仍可自行制訂其所需的時間門檻與距離門檻。 The above-mentioned time threshold is set to a range of 20 milliseconds to 2 seconds, because if the two gestures occur too close, it may be caused by machine noise, and if the time is too long, it may be two irrelevant errors. Touch, so the time threshold is set as an interval. If the threshold is set to 2 cm or less, it is because the most likely distance of the double-click gesture is less than 2 cm. If the gestures are too far apart, it may be two unrelated mishaps. However, the time threshold and distance thresholds described herein are only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The developer, user, or producer can still set their own time thresholds. Distance threshold.

此外，研發者亦可制定其他規則以辨別手勢是否有效。以單擊手勢(如上述之第一手勢4201、第一手勢5201及單擊手勢410)為例，若感應到觸控裝置300接收到之觸碰面積過大(例如大於1.5公分×1.5公分，或為複數個單擊手勢之連接線或連接面)，則會被處理單元PU判斷為手掌接觸(palm touch)且不視為有效的單擊手勢。 In addition, developers can develop other rules to determine if a gesture is valid. Taking a click gesture (such as the first gesture 4201, the first gesture 5201, and the click gesture 410 described above) as an example, if the touch area received by the touch device 300 is detected to be too large (for example, greater than 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm, or The connection unit or the connection surface of the plurality of click gestures is judged by the processing unit PU as a palm touch and is not regarded as a valid click gesture.

上述第3至6圖所示之觸控裝置300中，非主動模式區320及非主動模式區330置於主動模式區310的左側區域與右側區域，係為本發明一實施例，但並非用以限制本發明。如第8圖所示，第8圖係本發明另一實施例觸控裝置800的示意圖，觸控裝置800包括一主動模式區820，及多個非主動模式區810及830至850。非主動模式區810及830至850之中的一或多個非主動模式區，當接收觸碰物體O_tch施加之單擊手勢且接續地接受一有效手勢時才進入主動模式時，才成為主動模式區以執行有效操作。主動模式區820原本也是非主動模式區，係因接收觸碰物體O_tch施加之單擊手勢且接續地接受一有效手勢時才進入主動模式。其中，第8圖之主動模式區820與非主動模式區810及830至850中，每一主動模式區與非主動模式區的面積可互為相等。 In the touch device 300 shown in the above third to sixth embodiments, the inactive mode region 320 and the inactive mode region 330 are placed in the left side region and the right region of the active mode region 310, which are an embodiment of the present invention, but are not used. To limit the invention. As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a touch device 800 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The touch device 800 includes an active mode area 820 and a plurality of inactive mode areas 810 and 830 to 850. One or more of the inactive mode regions 810 and 830 to 850 are active when receiving the click gesture applied by the touch object O _tch and successively accepting a valid gesture before entering the active mode. Mode area to perform effective operations. The active mode area 820 is also a non-active mode area, and enters the active mode when receiving a click gesture applied by the touch object O _tch and successively accepting a valid gesture. Wherein, in the active mode area 820 and the inactive mode area 810 and 830 to 850 of FIG. 8, the areas of each of the active mode area and the inactive mode area may be equal to each other.

第9圖係本發明另一實施例之觸控裝置900的示意圖。觸控裝置900上的主動模式區910係位於以觸碰物體O_tch與觸控裝置900之觸碰點9101為中心點之具有預定面積與預定形狀(例如圓形、矩形、多邊形或正方形)的區域，主動模式區910會隨觸碰物體O_tch移動，在一實施例中，主動模式區910可為長與寬各為2公分的正方形。主動模式區910以外的區域，係為非主動模式區920。 FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a touch device 900 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Active mode area on the touch device is located based 900,910 (e.g. circular, rectangular, polygonal or square) to the touch object O _tch touch point 9101 of the touch device 900 is a center point of a predetermined shape and having a predetermined area In the region, the active mode region 910 moves with the touch object O _tch . In an embodiment, the active mode region 910 can be a square having a length and a width of 2 cm each. The area other than the active mode area 910 is the inactive mode area 920.

第10圖係本發明另一實施例觸控裝置1000的示意圖。觸控裝置1010中，主動模式區1010係為條狀區域，且亦會隨觸碰物體O_tch移動，其中，觸碰物體O_tch與觸控裝置1010之觸碰點10101係可(但不限於)位於主動模式區1010之橫軸中心點，亦即如第10圖所示之距離L1與距離L2係可彼此相等。第10圖中，主動模式區1010以外之區域，係為非主動模式區1020。 FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a touch device 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the touch device 1010, the active mode area 1010 is a strip-shaped area, and also moves with the touch object O _tch , wherein the touch object O _tch and the touch point 10101 of the touch device 1010 can be (but not limited to) The center point of the horizontal axis of the active mode region 1010, that is, the distance L1 and the distance L2 as shown in FIG. 10 may be equal to each other. In Fig. 10, the area other than the active mode area 1010 is the inactive mode area 1020.

第11圖係本發明另一實施例中，當觸碰物體O_tch於觸控裝置1100之主動模式區1110執行第一有效手勢11201且觸碰物體O_tch於非主動模式區1120執行第二有效手勢11202之示意圖。第12圖係第11圖之第一有效手勢11201與第二有效手勢11202之時間圖。根據第11至12圖之實施例，當主動模式區1110接受觸碰物體O_tch之第一有效手勢11201，非主動模式區11202接續地接受觸碰物體O_tch之第二有效手勢11202，第一有效手勢11201(發生於時點ta)與第二有效手勢11202(發生於時點tb)之間的手勢時間差Tx符合時間門檻，且第一有效手勢11201與第二有效手勢11202之間的手勢距離Lx符合距離門檻時，非主動模式區1120會進入主動模式。其中，根據本發明實施例，第一有效手勢11201對應之資訊可先儲存於處理單元PU，待觸控裝置1100接收第二有效手勢11202後，再由處理單元判斷是否使非主動模式區1120進入主動模式。時間門檻與距離門檻仍可由觸控裝置1100之研發人員自行制訂，時間門檻與距離門檻之說明係如上述關於表格α之說明，於此不另贅述。第11至12圖之實施例所示的第一有效手勢11201與第二有效手勢11202皆為單擊手勢，然此僅用以舉例，發生於主動模式區之第一有效手勢，與發生於非主動模式區之第二有效手勢，其種類可由研發人員定義，例如：亦可為縮放手勢之兩觸碰物體產生之兩手勢，或拖曳手勢之前後產生的兩手勢等。如第11至12圖揭露的實施例，觸控裝置1100之非主動模式區1120可考慮主動模式區1110發生之第一有效手勢11201而適時地被喚醒並進入主動模式，故可使非主動模式區與主動模式區之切換更為順暢以利於使用者經驗。 11 is another embodiment of the present invention, when the touch object O _tch performs the first effective gesture 11201 in the active mode area 1110 of the touch device 1100 and touches the object O _tch to perform the second effective in the inactive mode area 1120.
