Method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad that has a first function area, a second function area, and an overlapped area, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining whether the overlapped area is touched; and
counting a touched duration on the overlapped area if the overlapped area is touched;
wherein, if the touched duration is longer than a duration reference, a further function corresponding to the first function area is performed;
whereas a further function corresponding to the second function area is performed.

Abstract
In a method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad with the overlapped function area overlapped by more than two different function areas, when the overlapped function area is touched by an object, a further function can be correctly performed according to touched duration, touched movement, or a terminal touched area pressed onto the touchpad.

2. A method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad that has a first function area, a second function area, and an overlapped area, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining whether the overlapped area is touched; and
measuring a touched movement and counting a touched duration on the overlapped area if the overlapped area is touched;
wherein, if the touched duration is longer than a duration reference and the touched movement is smaller than a movement reference, a further function corresponding to the first function area is performed;
whereas a further function corresponding to the second function area is performed.

3. A method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad that has a first function area, a second function area, and an overlapped area, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining whether the overlapped area is touched; and
determining whether a terminal touched area is within the overlapped area, the first function area, or the second function area if the overlapped area is touched;
wherein, if the terminal touched area is within the overlapped area or the first function area, a further function corresponding to the first function area is performed;
if the terminal touched area is within the second function area, a further function corresponding to the second function area is performed.

4. A method for detecting overlapped function area on a touchpad that has a first function area, a second function area, and an overlapped area, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining whether the overlapped area is touched; and
measuring a touched movement and determining whether a terminal touched area is within the overlapped area, the first function area, or the second function area if the overlapped area is touched;
wherein, if the terminal touched area is within the overlapped area or the first function area and the touched movement is smaller than a movement reference, a further function corresponding to the first function area is performed;
whereas a further function corresponding to the second function area is performed.
