Abstract

An input apparatus having a touch module and an input identification method applied to the apparatus are described. The method includes during the collection of a touch track on the touch module, when a first partial track of the touch track satisfies a first preset condition, a first command corresponding to the first partial track is obtained; the first command is executed; and during the collection of the touch track, when a second partial track following the first partial track satisfies a second preset condition, a second command corresponding to the second partial track is obtained; and the second command is executed. The method and apparatus can quickly identify a gesture operation of a user on the touch screen, and can continue to perform the corresponding operation after the identification of the gesture operation of the user and before the completion of the gesture operation.

Claims

1. An input identification method applied to an input apparatus having a touch module, comprising:

during a collection of a touch track on the touch module, when a first partial track of the touch track satisfies a first preset condition, obtaining a first command corresponding to the first partial track;

executing the first command;

during the collection of the touch track, when a second partial track following the first partial track satisfy a second preset condition, obtaining a second command corresponding to the second partial track; and

executing the second command.

2. The input identification method according to claim 1, wherein the first command and the second command satisfies the following relationship:

the second command represents a repetitive execution of the first command;

or

the second command represents a specific parameter for execution when the first command is executed.

3. The input identification method according to claim 1, wherein the first preset condition differs from the second preset condition.

4. The input identification method according to claim 1, wherein the first preset condition comprises:

the first partial track is a track with a corner shape.

5. The input identification method according to claim 1, wherein the second preset condition comprises:

a distance of the second partial track satisfies a first preset threshold or a touch time corresponding to the second partial track satisfies a second preset threshold.

6. The input identification method according to claim 4, wherein the second preset condition comprises:

the second partial track is a track with different shapes, and each shape of the track corresponds to a type of parameter.

7. An input apparatus having a touch module, comprising:

a first obtaining module for during a collection of a touch track on the touch module, when a first partial track of the touch track satisfies a first preset condition, obtaining a first command corresponding to the first partial track;

a first executing module for executing the first command;

a second obtaining module for during the collection of the touch track, when a second partial track following the first partial track satisfies a second preset condition, obtaining a second command corresponding to the second partial track; and

a second executing module for executing the second command.

8. The input apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the first command and the second command satisfy the following relationship:

the second command represents a repetitive execution of the first command;

or

the second command represents a specific parameter for execution when the first command is executed.

9. The input apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the first preset condition differs from the second preset condition.

10. The input apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the first preset condition comprises:

the first partial track is a track with a corner shape.

11. The input apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the second preset condition comprises:

a distance of the second partial track satisfies a first preset threshold or a touch time corresponding to the second partial track satisfies a second preset threshold.

12. The input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the second preset condition comprises:

the second partial track is a track with different shapes, and each shape of the track corresponds to a type of parameter.
