Publication number: 20040021676Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of view window scrolling applied in a touch-control information apparatus, the touch-control information apparatus utilizing an input device or finger of a user for an input signal. The present invention controls movement of a view window page according to a scrolling signal generated by the input device or the finger moving across a touch panel corresponding to the view window page. No characters or images are highlighted in response to the scrolling signal. After receiving the scrolling signal, the touch-control information apparatus calculates a vertical displacement and a horizontal displacement of a start coordinate value and an end coordinate value, and then moves the view window page in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction according to the calculated vertical displacement and horizontal displacement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2002Publication date: February 5, 2004Applicant: Tatung Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hung-Ming Chen, Ping-Hui Hsiao, Lu-Yun Tai
