Abstract
A method for operating a soft keyboard of a touch device is disclosed, the touch device including a touch screen and a processor, the touch screen being coupled to the processor, and the method including: the processor determining a touch signal generated from a single touch point applied onto a trigger region for the soft keyboard; the processor determining a drag signal generated through move of the single touch point from inside of the trigger region to outside of the trigger region; the processor determining a starting point and an end point of the drag signal, to generate a soft keyboard display signal; and displaying the soft keyboard on the touch screen according to the soft keyboard display signal.
Claims22
A method for operating a soft keyboard of a touch device, the touch device comprising a touch screen and a processor, the touch screen being coupled to the processor, and the method comprising:
- determining, by the processor, a touch signal generated from a single touch point applied onto a trigger region for the soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a drag signal generated through move of the single touch point from inside to outside of the trigger region;
- determining, by the processor, a starting point and an end point of the drag signal, to generate a soft keyboard display signal;
- and
- displaying the soft keyboard on the touch screen according to the soft keyboard display signal.
A method for operating a soft keyboard of a touch device, the touch device comprising a touch screen and a processor, the touch screen being coupled to the processor, and the method comprising:
- displaying a first soft keyboard on the touch screen;
- determining, by the processor, a swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a second soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a click signal applied on the touch screen to determine a shrinking direction of the second soft keyboard;
- and
- shrinking the first soft keyboard into the second soft keyboard on the touch screen according to the boundary and the shrinking direction of the second soft keyboard.
A method for operating a soft keyboard of a touch device, the touch device comprising a touch screen and a processor, the touch screen being coupled to the processor, and the method comprising:
- displaying a first soft keyboard on the touch screen;
- determining, by the processor, a first swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a first part of the first soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a second swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a second part of the first soft keyboard;
- and
- dividing the first soft keyboard into the first part and the second part on the touch screen according to the boundaries of the first part and the second part of the first soft keyboard.
A touch device comprising:
- a touch screen comprising a trigger region for a soft keyboard;
- a memory configured to store computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touch screen and configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the device to perform:
- determining, by the processor, a touch signal generated from a single touch point applied onto a trigger region for the soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a drag signal generated through move of the single touch point from inside to outside of the trigger region;
- determining, by the processor, a starting point and an end point of the drag signal, to generate a soft keyboard display signal;
- and
- displaying the soft keyboard on the touch screen according to the soft keyboard display signal.
A touch device, comprising:
- a touch screen comprising a trigger region for a soft keyboard;
- a memory configured to store computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touch screen and configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the device to perform:
- displaying a first soft keyboard on the touch screen;
- determining, by the processor, a swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a second soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a click signal applied on the touch screen to determine a shrinking direction of the second soft keyboard;
- and
- shrinking the first soft keyboard into the second soft keyboard on the touch screen according to the boundary and the shrinking direction of the second soft keyboard.
A touch device, comprising:
- a touch screen comprising a trigger region for a soft keyboard;
- a memory configured to store computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touch screen and configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the device to perform:
- displaying a first soft keyboard on the touch screen;
- determining, by the processor, a first swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a first part of the first soft keyboard;
- determining, by the processor, a second swipe signal applied on the touch screen to determine a boundary of a second part of the first soft keyboard;
- and
- dividing the first soft keyboard into the first part and the second part on the touch screen according to the boundaries of the first part and the second part of the first soft keyboard.
