Abstract

A touch-sensitive mobile computing device includes a main body, a display screen and a touch-sensitive interface. The display screen is disposed on the main body for showing a virtual keyboard. The touch-sensitive interface is disposed on the display screen. When a touching position of the touch-sensitive interface is touched, a pointer is shown on the display screen and in the vicinity of the touching position to point a first virtual key of the virtual keyboard, so that the first virtual key pointed by the pointer exhibits a highlight effect and a distortion effect.

Claims

1. A touch-sensitive mobile computing device comprising:

a main body;

a display screen disposed on the main body for showing a virtual keyboard; and

a touch-sensitive interface disposed on the display screen, wherein when a touching position of the touch-sensitive interface is touched, a pointer is shown on the display screen and in the vicinity of the touching position to point a first virtual key of the virtual keyboard, so that the first virtual key pointed by the pointer exhibits a highlight effect and a distortion effect.

2. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 further comprising a control unit disposed within the main body and communicating with the touch-sensitive interface and the display screen for controlling operations of the touch-sensitive interface.

3. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein the first virtual key with the highlight effect is distinguished from other virtual keys of the virtual keyboard in the color tone, or the character and the background of the first virtual key with the highlight effect have different the color tones.

4. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein the first virtual key with the distortion effect is internally concave and has distorted dimension and shape.

5. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein a zoom-in box is shown on the display screen and beside the pointed for showing an enlarged image of the first virtual key.

6. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein a zoom-in box is shown on the display screen and beside the pointed for showing an enlarged image that covers a target pointed by the pointer.

7. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein the touch-sensitive mobile computing device is executed under an operating system, an operating frame is generated by the operating system, and a corresponding character, sign or number is shown on the operating system by operating the virtual keyboard.

8. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein the pointer is disposed at an upper side of the touching position.

9. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein the point is translucent.

10. The touch-sensitive mobile computing device according to claim 1 wherein when a second virtual key of the virtual keyboard is pointed by the pointer, the second virtual key exhibits the highlight effect and the distortion effect.

11. A displaying method of a touch-sensitive mobile computing device, the touch-sensitive mobile computing device comprising a main body, a display screen and a touch-sensitive interface, the displaying method comprising steps of:

showing a virtual keyboard on the display screen; and

touching a touching position of the touch-sensitive interface such that a translucent pointer is shown in the vicinity of the touching position and points to a first virtual key of the virtual keyboard, wherein the first virtual key pointed by the pointer exhibits a highlight effect and a distortion effect.

12. The displaying method according to claim 11 further comprising a step of moving the pointer to point to a second virtual key of the virtual keyboard, wherein the second virtual key exhibits the highlight effect and the distortion effect.

13. The displaying method according to claim 11 further comprising a step of showing a zoom-in box beside the pointed for showing an enlarged image of the first virtual key.

14. The displaying method according to claim 11 further comprising a step of showing a zoom-in box beside the pointed for showing an enlarged image that covers a target pointed by the pointer.

15. The displaying method according to claim 11 wherein the touch-sensitive mobile computing device is executed under an operating system, an operating frame is generated by the operating system, and a corresponding character, sign or number is shown on the operating system by operating the virtual keyboard.
