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, area and time period 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.

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

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

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

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the performing the action according to the single touch or multiple touches comprises stopping the performance of the first action and the second action when it is determined that at least one of the touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period due to the single touch or multiple touch is not maintained as a result of sensing at least one of the touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period.

4. The method of claim 3, 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.

5. The method of claim 1,

wherein, when the at least one input means satisfies at least one of a touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period of a first predetermined condition and touches the touch panel once within the predetermined time period, 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 touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period of a second predetermined condition different from the first predetermined condition and a second touch which satisfies at least one of the same touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period as those of the first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the multiple touches.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the performing the action according to the single touch or multiple touches further comprises:

when at least one of the touch pressure magnitude and touch area is changed at the time of the single touch or the second touch of the multiple touches, changing a condition for performing the action.

7. 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 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.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the action module performs a first action of the object according to the single touch, and performs a second action different from the first action of the object according to the multiple touches.

9. The system of claim 7,

wherein, when the at least one input means satisfies at least one of a touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period of a first predetermined condition and touches the touch panel once within the predetermined time period, 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 touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period of a second predetermined condition different from the first predetermined condition and a second touch which satisfies at least one of the same touch pressure magnitude, touch area and touch time period as those of the first predetermined condition, the touch is recognized as the multiple touches.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the action module changes a condition for performing the action when at least one of the touch pressure magnitude and touch area is changed at the time of the single touch or the second touch of the multiple touches.
