Background technique

Today, wireless communication devices can provide a variety of wireless communication services, such as telephone service, cellular telephone service, cordless telephone service, and wireless data communication services such as e-mail and short messaging. These services are usually bundled in separate communication devices. By bundling these wireless communication services with separate devices, manufacturers can provide portable wireless communication devices that are easier to use. In fact, there is an increasing desire to be able to communicate freely through wired and wireless communication devices. The increasing popularity of cellular communications has led to the widespread use of portable cellular radiotelephones. With the rapid development of modern communication technologies, the demand for multifunctional wireless communication devices that can provide more than one communication service is greatly increased.

At present, in order to carry these wireless communication devices conveniently, portable communication devices (such as portable phones) have a trend of becoming lighter and more integrated.

As is well known, a portable telephone generally includes a speaker, a microphone, a display screen and data input means such as a keypad. Users can use the keyboard to input information, such as phone numbers to be dialed.

With the increasing integration of advanced data devices into portable telephones, it is often desirable to provide a keypad that is more advanced than a simple numeric type.

Furthermore, the increase in possible data rates, and consequently the amount of data received by portable phones, has led to an increasing use of such phones for data browsing. A large display is usually provided to allow the user to view the received data comfortably and easily.

Demands for more advanced keypads and large display screens are in direct conflict with consumer demand for highly integrated cellular phones.

One solution to this problem is to provide a touch screen integrated with the display. Users can use the stylus to enter commands and data.

Touchscreens on phones can be resistive. The operation of such a touch screen is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described in detail here. As is well known, such displays include relatively large glass elements.

A disadvantage of such touch screen systems is that the touch screen is quite expensive compared to other materials.

Then, the radio circuit 111 converts it into an RF signal and sends it through the antenna 101 to a remote transceiver.

With the popularization of data services provided by these devices, such as e-mail services and message services, data services are very popular nowadays. Typically, messages are entered into the portable wireless communications device by pressing corresponding keys on a keypad. In this embodiment, messages can also be entered into the portable wireless communication device 100 by pressing corresponding keys on the keyboard 118 disposed in the movable part 103 . After the incoming message is processed by the processor 112 and displayed on the display screen 113, it can be sent to the remote transceiver through the antenna 101 in the main body part 102.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the body part 102 also includes a touchpad 122 . The touchpad is a touch-sensitive input device for entering information. The surface of the touchpad 122 is divided into several different areas, and information is input by touching. The touchpad 122 is placed in the main body part 102 and connected with the processor 112 and the display screen 113 . The touchpad 122 is used to receive user's input. The relative motion input by a stylus or the like across the touchpad 122 is translated by the processor 112 into corresponding relative motion of the display elements on the display screen 113 . Incoming messages, such as e-mail messages, short messages and multimedia messages, are identified by the processor 112 and sent to the remote transceiver through the antenna 101.

Certainly, the present invention is not limited to the touchpad, and a touch screen can also be used as an input device for inputting various characters, numbers or messages without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the movable part 103 has a keyboard 118 with a plurality of keys on its outer surface. The movable part 103 is connected to the main body part 102 through a hinge 120 . According to this embodiment, the movable part 103 has a first position and a second position, or referred to as a closed position and an open position. A switch 114 located in the body part 102 can detect the position of the movable part 103 .

The advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated with particular reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 .

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a portable radio communication device in a closed position in accordance with the present invention.

The position of the movable part 103 is detected by a switch 114 and then sent to a processor 112 included in the main part 102 . As is clear to a person skilled in the art, position detection of the movable part can be accomplished, for example, by using reed relays or by metal housings/micro switches. A detailed explanation on this aspect is omitted here.

It can be seen from FIG. 2 that when the movable part 103 is in the closed position, it covers the touchpad 122 disposed in the main part 102 . At this point, the portable wireless communication device 100 has some user functions. The position of the movable member 103 is detected by a switch 114 in the portable radio communication device. When the switch 114 determines that the wireless communication device is in the off position, the wireless communication device enters a keyboard input mode. At this point, the user can dial a phone number or input information through the keys on the keyboard 118 . After dialing a desired phone number or inputting information through the keys, the user can use the keys of the function key portion 201 to initiate and terminate calls or message services in the cellular network in a standard manner.

A function key portion 201 located below the display screen 113 is placed in the main body part 102 . When the movable part 103 is in the closed position or the open position, it does not cover the function key portion 201 . That is, when the movable part 103 is in the closed position or the open position, the keys in the function key portion 201 can be pressed. The user can also write/edit message information by pressing keys in the keyboard 118 when the movable part 103 is in the closed position. Afterwards, by pressing the corresponding key in the function key section 201, the message information can be sent to the remote transceiver.

The display screen 113 is used to display the feedback of the wireless phone, such as phone number, signal strength, battery capacity, operator name and so on.

According to the present invention, the portable wireless communication device 100 can also directly receive input from the user through the touchpad 122 without using the number and letter keys in the keypad 118 .

Figure 3 is a perspective view of a portable wireless communication device in an open position in accordance with the present invention.

Similar to when the movable part 103 is in the closed position, whether the movable part 103 is in the open position is detected by the switch 114 . When the switch 114 determines that the movable part 103 of the wireless communication device is in the open position, the wireless communication device enters a touch panel input mode to edit information. In this mode, the user enters text, phone numbers or other information by swiping or clicking different areas of the touchpad, and when the wireless communication device receives a call, the user can answer the call by touching the touchpad. At this time, the portable wireless communication device 100 has a series of user functions, such as advanced wireless phone control functions and messaging functions. The advanced wireless telephone control functions include menus for storing and retrieving telephone numbers and programming user preferences. Message sending and receiving functions include e-mail, fax, short message service and multimedia service, etc. All of the advanced radiotelephone control functions and messaging functions described above are displayed on the display screen 113 .

It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the touchpad 122 is located below the display screen 113 . When the movable member 103 is in the open position, the touchpad 122 is accessible to the user. A user may input data via a stylus or the like. FIG. 4 is an example of text input by a touch panel according to the present invention. As can be seen from Figure 4, the user uses the stylus to input the text "Hi, Jenny, I am Tom". The relative movement of the touchpad 122 input by the stylus is converted by the processor 112 into a corresponding relative movement of the display unit on the display screen 113 . The text recognized by the processor 112 is displayed on the display screen 113, as shown in FIG. 5 . After being recognized by the processor 112, incoming messages, such as e-mail messages and short messages, will be sent via the antenna 101 to the remote transceiver.

4 and 5 are illustrations of English text input by the touch panel 122 and displayed on the display 113 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is also particularly suitable for inputting Chinese characters. The user inputs Chinese characters by tapping a corresponding area of the touchpad 122 using a stylus. After the processor 112 recognizes the input Chinese characters, the recognized Chinese characters are displayed on the display 113 .

Returning to FIG. 3 , when the movable member 103 is in the open position, the touchpad 122 can be contacted with a stylus. The touchpad 122 is divided into several different areas, ie a writing area 122a for inputting text or drawing with a stylus and other areas 122b for function areas. In this embodiment, the functional area 122b is divided into "selection" area, "cancel" area, "cursor right" area, "cursor left" area, "upper/lower case input mode switching" area, "Chinese character/number Input mode switching" area, "special character input mode" area and "Chinese character association input mode" area.

However, these functional regions do not limit the present invention. For example, the function area 122b of the touchpad 122 may also include an area for realizing the function of the function key part 201 or inputting a phone number. For example, the portable wireless communication device can answer a phone call or send a message to a remote transceiver by clicking on the corresponding function area.

Figure 6 is a sketch drawn on a touch panel according to the present invention. As can be seen from Figure 6, the user can use a stylus to draw a sketch on the touchpad. The corresponding movement of the stylus input across the touchpad 122 is read by the processor 122 and displayed on the display 113 . As mentioned above, the input sketch can be transmitted via the antenna 101 to a remote transceiver via the multimedia messaging service.

In this embodiment, the touch panel 122 is a carbon resistance touch panel. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The touch panel 122 can also be an ITO type touch panel. The portable wireless communication device 100 of the present invention may also have a light in the main body part 102. When the movable part 103 is in the open position, the light is on. In this way, the user can conveniently input information through the touchpad 122 even in a dark area. As for the lighting, you can choose from electroluminescent lighting or luminescent polymer lighting. In this embodiment, an electroluminescent lighting lamp is used.

It is envisioned that other types of lamps may also be used with the present invention. When the touch panel is an ITO type touch panel, there is an LED lighting lamp in the main body part 102 . When the movable part 103 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the lights of the touchpad and the display screen are turned on. In this way, regardless of the external light conditions, the user can conveniently use the touchpad 122 to input information. When the movable part 103 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the lights of the touch panel and the display screen are turned off, thus effectively prolonging the battery life.

Switching of the input mode may be accomplished when the movable part 103 of the portable wireless communication device switches from the closed position as shown in FIG. 2 to the open position as shown in FIG. 3 or vice versa. That is, when changing from the closed position to the open position, the keyboard input mode changes to the touchpad input mode. On the contrary, when the open position of the movable part 103 is changed to the closed position, the input mode of the touchpad is changed to the input mode of the keyboard.

Moreover, when the portable wireless communication device is in the editing state, the position change of the movable part will not change the editing state of the portable wireless communication device, and the information being edited will be completely preserved.

Therefore, by changing the position of the movable part 103, the user can conveniently switch between different input modes in the editing state, and the user can customize the conversion relationship of input methods between different input modes.

Fig. 7 shows the conversion relationship of the input method of the portable wireless communication device in different input modes according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, when the interface language of the portable wireless communication device is Chinese, when the user switches the movable part 103 from the closed position to the open position, the keyboard input mode in the editing state changes from pinyin input, stroke input, Simplified Chinese handwriting recognition (HWR) input for Latin mixed input, Latin uppercase input, Latin lowercase input, English T9 input or numeric input switched to touchpad input mode. And when the user switches the movable part 103 from the open position to the closed position, the touchpad input mode in the editing state is switched to the pinyin input of the keyboard input mode from the Simplified Chinese HWR input or the full-width symbol HWR input; or from the touchpad input mode Switch from digital HWR input in keyboard input mode to numeric input in keyboard input mode; or switch from Latin uppercase HWR input, Latin lowercase HWR input or half-width symbol HWR input in touchpad input mode to Latin mixed input in keyboard input mode. Simplified Chinese HWR input does not constitute a limitation to the present invention, and the present invention is also applicable to traditional Chinese HWR input.
