The disclosure relates to a control method, and in particular, to a control method of a handheld electronic device.
With the development of handheld devices, games for handheld devices are becoming more and more popular. Generally speaking, handheld devices are equipped with a touch screen for the user to perform touch operations.
However, limited by the screen size of the handheld device, the sensing area of the user interface displayed on the screen is also too small, which is unfavorable for the user to operate.
The disclosure provides a control method applied to a handheld electronic device including a touch panel. The control method includes: displaying a user interface by the touch panel, where the user interface includes a sensing area with a first size and the sensing area corresponds to a predefined function; enabling an adjusting function for the sensing area; determining whether the sensing area receives an adjusting instruction or not, where the adjusting instruction is used to adjust the sensing area from the first size to a second size; and when the sensing area receives the adjusting instruction, a size of the sensing area is adjusted according to the adjusting instruction and the size change process is continuously presented during the adjustment until the sensing area reaches the second size, wherein the adjusted sensing area also corresponds to the predefined function.
According to the control method of a handheld electronic device that disclosed in the disclosure, the range of the predefined sensing area on the user interface is adjusted to improve the hit rate of the user tapping in the sensing area. Therefore, the problem of inaccurately hitting in the sensing area caused by the small size of the handheld electronic device is solved, thereby enhancing user experience.
Specific embodiments of the disclosure will be further described by using the following examples and drawings.
Specific embodiments of the disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to schematic drawings. The advantages and features of the disclosure will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not drawn to accurate scale, but are merely used for convenience and clarity of description of the embodiments of the disclosure.
Referring to
First, in step S120, a user interface 122 is displayed by the touch panel 120. The user interface 122 includes a sensing area, and the sensing area corresponds to a predefined function. In an embodiment, at least one sensing area is preset on the user interface shown in
Then, in step S140, an adjusting function for the sensing area is enabled, and positions of the sensing areas A1, A2, and A3 are marked for adjustment by the user. In an embodiment, referring to
Then, in step S150, it is determined whether the sensing area A1 receives an adjusting instruction S1 or not. The adjusting instruction S1 is used to adjust the size of the sensing area A1 from a first size (an original size) to a second size (which is set by the user). Referring to
When the sensing area A1 receives the adjusting instruction S1, in step S160, referring to
In addition, the adjusted sensing area A1′ corresponds to the predefined function F1 that corresponding to the original sensing area A1. In this way, in the process of operating through the user interface 122, the predefined function F1 is enabled as long as the user taps on a position within the range of the sensing area A1′ without the need to precisely tap on a position within the sensing area A1.
By means of the control method, the hit rate of the user tapping in the sensing area is improved, so that the problem of inaccurately hitting in the sensing area caused by the small size of the handheld electronic device is solved, thereby enhancing user experience.
Referring to
Then, referring to
In addition, referring to
The manner in which the touch processing unit 140 adjusts the sensing area A1 varies with different adjusting instructions S1.
In an embodiment, the adjusting instruction S1 includes an X-axis adjusting instruction and a Y-axis adjusting instruction. The touch processing unit 140 adjusts the width and position of the sensing area A1 in an X-axis direction according to the X-axis adjusting instruction, and adjusts the width and position of the sensing area A1 in a Y-axis direction according to the Y-axis adjusting instruction, so as to define the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment.
In an embodiment, the adjusting instruction S1 includes an enlargement scale signal and a position signal. The touch processing unit 140 adjusts the size of the sensing area A1 according to the enlargement scale signal, and adjusts the position of the sensing area A1 according to the position signal, so as to define the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment.
Generally, the position of the sensing area A1 corresponds to a particular icon on the user interface 122. To prevent the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment from deviating from the icon, in an embodiment, the adjusting instruction S1 is defined as an enlargement scale signal. The touch processing unit 140 adjusts the size of the sensing area A1 according to the enlargement scale signal to, so as to define the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment without changing the position of the sensing area A1. In addition, in an embodiment, the touch processing unit 140 sets an adjustment range of the adjusting instruction S1 according to the size of the original sensing area A1. In an embodiment, the touch processing unit 140 sets the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment to encompass the original sensing area A1; or sets the size of the sensing area A1′ after the adjustment be larger than that of the original sensing area A1.
By means of the control method of a handheld electronic device according to the disclosure, the range of the predefined sensing area on the user interface is adjusted to improve the hit rate of the user tapping in the sensing area. Therefore, the problem of inaccurately hitting in the sensing area caused by the small size of the handheld electronic device is solved, thereby enhancing user experience.
The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make any form of equivalent replacement or modification to the technical means and technical contents disclosed by the disclosure without departing from the scope of the technical means of the disclosure, and such equivalent replacement or modification does not depart from the contents of the technical means of the present disclosure and still falls within the protection scope of the disclosure.
