Abstract

An input method is applied to a touch-sensitive display apparatus. The touch-sensitive display apparatus has a display area and the display area displays a first frame. The input method include a step of a pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame. The step of the pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame is accomplished through the following way. The way is that the pointer presses the display area and moves from a place where is adjacent to a corner of the display area to a place where is adjacent to a center of the display area along a first direction such that a folded image adjacent to the corner is displayed by the display area. In addition, a touch-sensitive display apparatus using the input method is provided.

Claims

1. An input method applied to a touch-sensitive display apparatus having a display area displaying a first frame, the method comprising:

a pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame, wherein the step of the pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame comprises;

the pointer pressing the display area and moving from a place where is adjacent to a corner of the display area to a place where is adjacent to a center of the display area along a first direction such that a folded image adjacent to the corner is displayed by the display area.

2. The input method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of the pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame further comprises:

the pointer pressing the display area and moving along a second direction such that the first frame is zoomed in to become a second frame; and

the pointer pressing the display area and moving along a third direction such that the first frame is zoomed out to become a third frame, the second direction being opposite to the third direction and the second direction being parallel to a first boundary of the display area.

3. The input method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step of the pointer pressing the display area and moving to change the first frame further comprises:

the pointer pressing the display area and moves along a fourth direction such that the display area displays a fourth frame posterior to the first frame; and

the pointer pressing the display area and moves along a fifth direction such that the display area displays a fifth frame prior to the first frame, the fourth direction being opposite to the fifth direction, the fourth direction being parallel to a second boundary of the display area and the second boundary being substantially perpendicular to the first boundary.

4. A touch-sensitive display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel having a display area; and

a touch-sensitive device disposed on the display panel, wherein when the display area displays a first frame and a pointer presses the display area and moves from a place where is adjacent to a corner of the display area to a place where is adjacent to a center of the display area along a first direction, a folded image adjacent to the corner is displayed by the display area.

5. The touch-sensitive display apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein when the display area displays the first frame and the pointer presses the display area and moves along a second direction, the first frame is zoomed in to become a second frame;

when the display area displays the first frame and the pointer presses the display area and moves along a third direction, the first frame is zoomed out to become a third frame;

the second direction is opposite to the third direction and the second direction is parallel to a first boundary of the display area.

6. The touch-sensitive display apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein when the display area displays the first frame and the pointer presses the display area and moves along a fourth direction, the display area displays a fourth frame posterior to the first frame;

when the display area displays the first frame and the pointer presses the display area and moves along a fifth direction, the display area displays a fifth frame prior to the first frame;

the fourth direction is opposite to the fifth direction, the fourth direction is parallel to a second boundary of the display area and the second boundary is substantially perpendicular to the first boundary.

7. The touch-sensitive display apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the display panel further comprises a first surface and a second surface, the display area is located at the first surface, the first surface is opposite to the second surface, the touch-sensitive device comprises a plurality of pressure sensors and a base, the pressure sensors are disposed on the second surface and corresponding to the display area, and the base is disposed on the pressure sensors such that the pressure sensors are located between the second surface and the base.
