Abstract

One aspect of the present invention discloses a method for detecting gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input functions is disclosed, wherein the liquid crystal display apparatus includes a display region and a button region. The method comprises the steps of checking whether an object touches a first region of the liquid crystal display apparatus, checking whether the object slides into a second region of the liquid crystal display apparatus after touching the first region, and sending a gesture signal to perform a predetermined function if the object slides between the display region and button region.

Claims

1. A method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function, the liquid crystal display apparatus including a display region and a button region, the method comprising the steps of:

checking whether an object touches the liquid crystal display apparatus;

checking whether the object slides on the liquid crystal display apparatus after touching the liquid crystal display apparatus; and

forming a gesture signal to perform a predetermined function if the object slides between the display region and the button region.

2. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 1, wherein the checking of whether the object slides on the liquid crystal display apparatus includes:

checking whether the object slides with a start point in the button region; and

checking whether the object slides with an end point in the display region.

3. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 2, wherein the checking of whether an object touches the liquid crystal display apparatus is checking whether the object touches the button region.

4. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 2, wherein the predetermined function is a phone-transferring function.

5. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 2, wherein performing the predetermined function includes displaying information of a plurality of contact persons on the display region.

6. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 1, wherein the checking of whether the object slides on the liquid crystal display apparatus includes:

checking whether the object slides with a start point in the display region; and

checking whether the object slides with an end point on a predetermined button in the button region.

7. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 6, wherein the checking of whether an object touches the liquid crystal display apparatus is checking whether the object touches the display region.

8. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 6, wherein the display region displays a portrait before the object touches the liquid crystal display apparatus, and the predetermined function is an adding contact person function.

9. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 8, wherein performing the predetermined function includes displaying the image, a name and a phone number thereof.

10. A method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function, the liquid crystal display apparatus including a display region and a button region, the method comprising the steps of:

checking whether a first object touches the button region;

checking whether a second object slides on the display region; and

forming a gesture signal to perform a predetermined function if the second object slides on the display region when the first object touches the button region.

11. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 10, further comprising a step of checking the gesture signal matches a predetermined gesture in a gesture set.

12. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 10, wherein the predetermined function is an image-magnifying function or an image-reducing function.

13. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 12, wherein performing the predetermined function includes magnifying or reducing an image by taking a sliding distance or a sliding speed of the second object into consideration.

14. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 12, wherein performing the predetermined function includes magnifying an image if the second object slides along a predetermined direction.

15. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 12, wherein performing the predetermined function includes reducing an image if the second object slides along a predetermined direction.

16. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 10, wherein the predetermined function is an area-selecting function.

17. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 16, wherein performing the predetermined function includes selecting a predetermined area of the display region by taking a sliding distance of the second object into consideration.

18. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 17, wherein performing the predetermined function includes magnifying or reducing an image of the predetermined area.

19. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 18, wherein performing the predetermined function includes magnifying the image of the predetermined area if the second object slides toward a periphery of the display region.

20. The method for recognizing gestures on a liquid crystal display apparatus with touch input function of claim 18, wherein performing the predetermined function includes reducing the image of the predetermined area if the second object slides toward a center of the display region.
