Description

Menu selection method of touch buttons

technical field

The invention relates to a menu selection method of a touch-sensitive button, in particular providing a convenient way for users to click and select when opening menu options.

Background technique

The functions of electronic products are becoming more and more complex, and the options of different functions are often controlled by buttons distributed in different places. Due to the limitation of the surface area, these buttons are usually marked briefly, so that even if the operator reads the entire operation manual, it is often difficult. It is a pity that most of the functions are forgotten due to memory difficulties. In the end, only some basic functions can be operated. What's more, the operation of many functions is related to the preference setting of the product function output. Some preference setting options cause the function output to be different from normal, but they cannot be adjusted back because they are not familiar with the way of use, so that users must endure this extremely unsatisfactory effect, or some users simply return the product.

For this reason, there have been many functional operations in the industry that use the screen to select various options in an attempt to solve this deficiency. For example, use the five-way key as the up, down, left, and right movement keys to move and select the menu, and use a proprietary input key to do the work of input, so the convenience of operation can be greatly improved.

Although the clicking operation of the above-mentioned customary five-way keys can bring some convenience, the operation of using the up, down, left, and right keys to move and select the menu, and clicking the option in the marked menu to move up or down (or move one item left and right) If you move from the top item to the bottom item on the screen, you often need to move the button many times, even more than a dozen times; For the table of contents, in the process of step-by-step downward selection and input of menu options, although the operation is easier to understand and memorize than the traditional scattered keys in the past, it is still quite cumbersome.

Contents of the invention

In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a menu selection method of touch buttons, using this method to provide users with a more convenient way to click when opening menu options, which mainly uses the A menu directory menu is divided into several option groups, and a touch panel is divided into several areas, and each area of the touch panel corresponds to an option group, and a screen is used to display menu options; the options of the same option group are placed In the same area, sliding a finger on the touchpad area can drive the scrolling of the option group on the screen, and pressing the touchpad can input the option, and the method at least includes the following steps:

Each area of the touchpad corresponds to a different option group;

When it is detected that a finger touches a certain area of the touchpad, the screen displays a group of menu options corresponding to the area;

When the finger moves in this area, the selected and marked options change accordingly; when the finger moves to another area, the option group displayed on the screen changes to another option group;

When the option is an execution item, when the touch button is pressed and input, the function of the execution item will be executed;

Through the above steps, it is the effect of the present invention to provide the user with a more convenient way of clicking when opening the menu options.

The menu selection method of the touch button of the present invention above, wherein "when the finger moves in this area, the selected and marked options change accordingly; when the finger moves to another area, the group of options displayed on the screen changes to another The step of "option group" includes that when an option in the option group displayed on the screen is selected, the option group corresponding to at least one area is changed to another option group.

In the above method for selecting a menu of touch-sensitive buttons of the present invention, the menu is a general function list composed of various option groups, and the composition of each option group is a tree-like composition relationship.

The menu selection method of the touch-sensitive button of the present invention above, wherein "when the finger moves in this area, the selected and marked options change accordingly; when the finger moves to another area, the option group displayed on the screen becomes another The step of "option group" includes that the changed option group refers to the sub-category of the input option, and the options of the sub-category are displayed on the screen.

In the menu selection method of touch buttons of the present invention, the step of "when the option is an execution item, start to execute the function of the item" includes that the execution item refers to the bottommost option of the general function list composed of a tree.

In the menu selection method of touch buttons of the present invention, wherein the touch panel is a two-stage inductive touch panel, and the method of inputting a certain option means that when the option is marked, the finger exerts force on the touch panel. The touchpad is pressurized, and the pressure must reach the preset pressure value that the touchpad can detect.

In the menu selection method of the touch-sensitive button of the present invention, wherein the touch panel is more than one touch panel, the touch panel includes at least one area, and the screen displays the state of the option group of the menu corresponding to the area .

According to the menu selection method of the touch-sensitive button of the present invention, the touch panel is divided into a plurality of areas, each area corresponds to an option group, and the options are displayed on the screen.

In the above method for selecting a menu of a touch-sensitive button according to the present invention, wherein the touch panel is divided into a plurality of areas, which refers to areas divided into a plurality of rows or columns.
