2.6. TOUCH CONTROL
The mobile computer’s LCD is overlaid by a resistive touch panel and thus forms a resistive
touchscreen. Since a resistive touchscreen locates the user’s touch by the force applied on
it, by operating with the stylus one can apply minimum force to trigger actions from the
touchscreen.
Touch control is one of the main ways to interact with the mobile computer. Users are able
to manipulate icons, buttons, menu commands, the onscreen keyboard, or any onscreen
items with touch control.
2.6.1. USE TOUCHSCREEN
The mobile computer comes with a stylus. Touch-operate the mobile computer with the
stylus. Apply the gestures below to work on the touchscreen:
Tap – Touch any item on the screen such as an application icon or a setting icon to work
on them, or touch any key on the onscreen keyboard to type it.
Tap & hold – Touch an item on the screen and do not release until an action occurs.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without release, move the item
onscreen until you reach the target.
Flick – Quickly move your finger or stylus across the surface of the screen. Note when
the stylus contacts the screen, do not pause so you don’t drag an item instead. Flick is
helpful, for example, for scrolling up or down a list.
Double-tap – Touch quickly twice on a webpage or other screen to zoom. For example,
double-tap a section of a webpage in a web browser to zoom that section to fit the width
of the screen. Some applications such as map-info applications support picture zooming
with double-tap.
Rotate screen – On most screens, the screen rotates as the mobile computer changes
its orientations between upright and sideways.
