Abstract

An object action control system which performs a method for controlling the object action on the basis of a single touch or multiple touches may be provided that includes: a touch panel; a touch sensing module which recognizes a single touch or multiple touches on the touch panel by at least one input means; a change sensing module which senses at least any one of a pressure magnitude, area and time period of the touch on the touch panel by the input means which has applied the single touch and multiple touches; and an action module which performs different actions of one object in accordance with the single touch or multiple touches in conformity with a predetermined action standard.

Claims

1. A method for controlling an object action which is performed by an object action control system and is based on a single touch and multiple touches, the method comprising:

recognizing a touch on a touch panel by at least one input means;

sensing at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch and determining whether the touch is the single touch or multiple touches which occur within a predetermined time period; and

performing an action of one object in accordance with the single touch or multiple touches based on the determination result in conformity with a predetermined action standard;

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch once on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the single touch; and

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch twice on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, including a first touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a second predetermined condition different from the first predetermined condition and a second touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of the first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the multiple touches; and

wherein the performing the action in accordance with the single touch or multiple touches comprises;

performing a first action of the object according to the single touch;

performing a second action different from the first action of the object according to the multiple touches;

stopping the performance of the first action and the second action when it is determined that at least one of the pressure magnitude and area of the touch due to the single touch or multiple touch is not maintained; and

wherein the stopping of the performance of the first action and the second action occurs despite the touch being maintained.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the action according to the single touch or multiple touches further comprises:

when the single touch or multiple touches are sensed after the first action or the second action is stopped, performing again the first action or the second action of the object.

3. An object action control system which performs a method for controlling the object action on the basis of a touch, the system comprising:

a touch panel;

a touch sensing controller which recognizes a touch on the touch panel by at least one input means;

a change sensing controller which senses at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch on the touch panel by the input means which has applied to single touch or multiple touches; and

a processor which performs an action of one object in accordance with the single touch or multiple touches in conformity with a predetermined action standard;

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch once on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the single touch;

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch twice on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, including a first touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a second predetermined condition different from the first predetermined condition and a second touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of the first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the multiple touches; and

wherein the processor performs the action of the object in accordance with the single touch or multiple touches comprises;

performs a first action of the object according to the single touch;

performs a second action different from the first action of the object according to the multiple touches; and

stops the performance of the first action and the second action when it is determined that at least one of the pressure magnitude and area of the touch due to the single touch or multiple touch is not maintained; and

wherein the stopping of the performance of the first action and the second action occurs despite the touch being maintained.

4. An object action control system which performs a method for controlling the object action on the basis of a touch, the system comprising:

a touch panel;

a touch sensing controller which recognizes a touch on the touch panel by at least one input means;

a processor which determines at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch on the touch panel by the input means and determines whether the touch is a single touch or multiple touches; and

wherein the processor performs an action of one object in accordance with a single touch or multiple touches in conformity with a predetermined action standard;

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch once on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the single touch;

wherein, when the at least one input means inputs the touch twice on the touch panel within the predetermined time period, including a first touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of a second predetermined condition different from the first predetermined condition and a second touch which satisfies at least one of a pressure magnitude and an area of the touch of the first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the multiple touches; and
