【detailed description】

The aforementioned and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the drawings.

Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the preferred embodiment of the map display method based on the user's touch behavior of the present invention is applicable to a navigation device, and the navigation device includes a body 1 and a database built in the body 1 11. A user operation interface 12 mounted on the body 1 , and a touch unit 13 electrically connected to the body 1 . The user operation interface 12 is implemented through software, and its implementation form is a computer program product storing corresponding programs. After the processor (not shown in the figure) of the navigation device loads and executes the program, the function of the user operation interface 12 can be completed. The touch unit 13 is a resistive touch screen, and includes a display module 131 and a touch module 132 .

The database 11 includes a plurality of electronic map data. Such electronic map data are common map data content, including scenic spot information, road information and so on.

The user operation interface 12 is used to generate a map screen 3 including at least one of the electronic map data, and includes a default map display mode and a map adjustment mode. That is, the default mode of the user operation interface 12 is the map display mode. In the map display mode, the user operation interface 12 simply generates the map screen 3 (see FIG. 3 ).

The display module 131 of the touch unit 13 is used to display the map image 3 . The touch module 132 of the touch unit 13 is used for user's touch, and generates a touch signal according to the user's touch behavior. In this preferred embodiment, the user's touch behavior includes the following forms: a single touch on any point on the touch module for a period of time (for example, continuous touch for three seconds), or multiple Single-point touch a certain point on the touch module (for example, repeatedly touch three times) and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the user operation interface 12 will be changed from the default map display mode to the map adjustment mode only after the user completes any of the above-mentioned touch actions.

With an application example, the interaction among the database 11 , the user operation interface 12 , the display module 131 , and the touch module 132 will be further described below in conjunction with an application example.

Referring to FIG. 3 , firstly, when the user turns on the navigation device, the user operation interface 12 will be set to the default map display mode, and the map screen 3 will be generated for the display module 131 to display.

As shown in step S21, when the user touches the touch module 132 and completes one of the above-mentioned touch behaviors, for example, touches a certain point on the touch module 132 for three seconds, the touch module 132 will generate the touch signal. Conversely, if the user does not continuously single-touch any point on the touch module, or touch the same point on the touch module without repetition, the touch module 132 will not generate the touch. control signal, the user interface 12 is still in the map display mode.

As shown in step S22, the user operation interface 12 changes from the map display mode to the map adjustment mode according to the touch signal, and generates an image group 4 on the map screen 3 (see FIG. 4 ). The image group 4 includes a reference point 41 and a ring image 42 centered on the reference point 41 . The ring image 42 defines a ring area 5 , an end area 7 between the ring image 42 and the reference point 41 , and an operation area 6 different from the ring area 5 and the end area 7 . The ring image 42 is also marked with E (East), S (South), W (West), and N (North) according to the orientation. Moreover, the reference point 41 is the point that the user touches on the touch module 132 in step S21.

That is to say, after the touch module 132 generates the touch signal, the user operation interface 12 will be changed to the map adjustment mode, so as to adjust the map screen 3 based on the user's requirement. Moreover, the user operation interface 12 generates the image group 4 to further demarcate the above-mentioned different ring-shaped area 5 , the operation area 6 and the end area 7 .

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, only in the map adjustment mode, the display module 131 will display the map image 3 and the image group 4 at the same time, so that the user can view the map image being adjusted in time when adjusting the map image 3 3.

It is worth mentioning that as the user performs a single touch on the above three different areas, the user interface 12 will also adjust the map screen 3 to varying degrees.

As shown in steps S23 to S25, when the user operates the touch module 132 based on the image group 4, the touch module 132 will generate a corresponding operation signal according to the user's operation behavior. That is, after the user operation interface 12 generates the image group 4 , if the user operates the touch module 132 again, the touch module 132 will generate different operation signals according to different operation behaviors of the user. It will be further introduced below.

Operate in this operating area:

Zoom in and zoom out on the map:

Referring to FIG. 6 , when the user single-touches the touch module 132 in the operation area 6 , a corresponding positioning point 43 will be generated on the user operation interface 12 . Wherein, the position touched by the user in the operation area 6 is the positioning point 43 . If the user moves along the trace of a reference straight line 44 formed by the positioning point 43 and the reference point 41 , the touch module 132 generates the operation signal. The user operation interface 12 zooms in or zooms out the map screen 3 according to the operation signal.

That is, when the user moves along the trajectory of the reference line 44 , the user operation interface 12 also generates a corresponding moving point 45 in the operation area 6 (see FIG. 7 ). Both the moving point 45 and the reference point 41 form a reference straight line 46 . The user operation interface 12 adjusts the size of the map frame 3 according to the relative lengths of the reference straight line 44 and the reference straight line 46 .

For example, referring to FIG. 7, when the user moves along the reference line 44 in a direction adjacent to the reference point 41, so that the length of the reference line 46 is shorter than the reference line 44, the user interface 12 will display the map screen 3 Zoom out, that is, the size of the streets and alleys in the map screen 3 has become smaller. Referring to FIG. 8, when the user moves away from the reference point 41 along the reference line 44, so that the length of the reference line 46 is longer than the reference line 44, the user operation interface 12 enlarges the map screen 3, that is, The size of the streets and alleys in screen 3 of the original map has been enlarged.

Rotate the map:

Referring to FIG. 9 , when the user single-touches the touch module 132 in the operation area 6 , the user operation interface 12 will generate the corresponding positioning point 43 . If the user moves along a circular track formed by taking the reference point 41 as the center and the distance between the reference point 41 and the positioning point 43 as the radius, the touch module 132 generates the operation signal. The user operation interface 12 rotates the map screen 3 according to the operation signal.

That is, the reference straight line 44 is formed between the reference point 41 and the positioning point 43 . When the user moves along the circular trajectory, the user operation interface 12 also generates the moving point 45 . Both the moving point 45 and the reference point 41 form the reference straight line 46 . The user operation interface 12 rotates the map frame 3 according to the included angle between the reference line 44 and the reference line 46 .

For example, referring to FIG. 10, when the user moves an angle of 45 degrees counterclockwise along the circular trajectory, the reference straight line 46 and the reference straight line 44 form an included angle of 45 degrees, and the user The operation interface 12 will also rotate the map screen 3 counterclockwise by 45 degrees, that is, the original direction of the streets and alleys in the map screen 3 also rotates counterclockwise by 45 degrees.

Certainly, when the user moves clockwise by 45 degrees along the circular trajectory, the user operation interface 12 will also rotate the map screen 3 clockwise by 45 degrees. In addition, the orientation marked by the circular image 42 will also be rotated to the correct position.

Operate in the ring area:

Change map elevation:

Referring to FIG. 11 , when the user operates the touch module in the circular area 5 based on the image group 4 , the touch module 132 generates a corresponding operation signal according to the user's operation behavior.

That is, when the user single-touches the touch module 132 or double-touches the touch module 132 in the circular area 5, and moves away from the reference point 41 or moves toward the reference point 41 When moving in the direction, the touch module 132 generates the operation signal. The user operation interface 12 changes the elevation angle of the map screen 3 according to the operation signal.

For example, referring to FIG. 12 , when the user single-touches the touch module 132 and moves toward the direction close to the reference point 41, the user interface 12 will reduce the elevation angle of the map screen 3, that is, Assuming that the user operation interface 12 originally presents the map screen 3 at an angle of 90 degrees, after the user completes the operation, the user operation interface 12 will change to present the map screen 3 at an oblique angle of 45 degrees. Certainly, when the user single-touches the touch module 132 and moves away from the reference point 41 , the user operation interface 12 will increase the elevation angle of the map screen 3 . Also, if the user touches the ring-shaped area 5 with two fingers, and his two fingers move towards the direction close to the reference point 41 at the same time, the user operation interface 12 will also reduce the elevation angle of the map screen 3; When the user touches the ring-shaped area 5 with two fingers and simultaneously moves the two fingers away from the reference point 41 , the user operation interface 12 will also increase the elevation angle of the map screen 3 .

In addition, the user operation interface 12 will also change the shape of the ring image 42 according to the operation signal, that is, as the elevation angle of the map screen 3 decreases, the user operation interface 12 will change the shape of the ring image 42 from a perfect circle The shape was changed to a flat oval shape to meet the user's visual consistency.

Operate on the end zone:

When the user single-touches the touch module 132 in the end area 7, the user operation interface 12 will be changed from the current map adjustment mode to the default map display mode, that is, the display module 131 will only The map screen 3 is displayed, but the image group 4 is not displayed. Therefore, the user can only view the map screen 3 at this moment, but cannot adjust the map screen 3 .

To sum up, in the map adjustment mode, the user interface can adjust the map by zooming in, zooming out, rotating, and changing the elevation angle based on the user's various operating behaviors in different operating areas and circular areas. In the map display mode, the display module only displays the map image, but does not display the image group, so the presented image is relatively simple, so the purpose of the present invention can indeed be achieved.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not limit the scope of the present invention with this, that is, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention and the contents of the description of the invention still belong to Within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
