Abstract

Phones comprising a touch panel and a controller. The controller is operable to control the touch panel to stop showing a first user interface to show a second user interface when receiving an interrupt signal that is occurred when a dialing icon of the first user interface had been tapped.

Claims (24)

1. A phone, comprising:

a touch panel;

a controller, operable to maintain displaying a first user interface after a dialing icon of the first user interface had been tapped; and changing said interface when one of a voice signal and a button signal is detected.

2. The phone as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first user interface comprises numeric icons, for dialing an extension or following instructions from a voice service system.

3. The phone as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the controller further detects an interrupt signal after the dialing icon of the first user interface had been tapped.

4. The phone as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the touch panel further switches from the first user interface to a second user interface when the interrupt signal is detected.

5. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a voice receiver operable to trigger the interrupt signal when receiving a predetermined phrase.

6. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated when a predetermined button of the first user interface is tapped.

7. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a switch button operable to trigger the interrupt signal when being pressed.

8. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a voice receiver operable to trigger the interrupt signal after a conversation has been received by the voice receiver for a period of time.

9. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a voice receiver operable to trigger the interrupt signal when receiving a conversation.

10. The phone as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a voice receiver coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is further operable to disable a touch function of the touch panel when the voice receiver receives a conversation.

11. A method for controlling a touch panel of a phone, comprising:

displaying a first user interface to provide a dialing icon;

controlling the touch panel to maintain displaying the first user interface after the dialing icon of the first user interface had been tapped; and changing said interface when one of a voice signal and a button signal is detected.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first user interface comprises numeric icons, for dialing an extension or following instructions from a voice service system.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the controlling step further comprises detecting an interrupt signal after the dialing icon of the first user interface had been tapped.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the controlling step further comprises switching the touch panel from the first user interface to a second user interface when the interrupt signal is detected.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated when a voice receiver of the phone receives a predetermined phrase.

16. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated when a predetermined button of the first user interface is tapped.

17. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated when a switch button of the phone is pressed.

18. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated after a conversation has been detected for a period of time.

19. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the interrupt signal is generated when a voice receiver of the phone receives a conversation.

20. The method as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising disabling a touch function of the touch panel when a voice receiver of the phone receives a conversation.
