Method and device for executing an operation on a mobile device
View Patent ↗The disclosure provides a method and device a method for detecting and receiving an induction signal induced by a contact of a pointing object with the touch screen, identifying information corresponding to the induction signal in response to receipt of the induction signal, determining a control operation based on the information, and executing the control operation in response to the determination. The control operation comprises at least one of closing a present application interface and displaying a new application interface.
1. A method for executing an operation on a touch screen of an electronic device, comprising:
detecting and receiving an induction signal induced by a contact of a pointing object with the touch screen while a first application interface is displayed within a display of the electronic device;
identifying information corresponding to the induction signal in response to receipt of the induction signal;
determining a control operation based on the information; and
executing the control operation in response to the determination,
wherein the control operation comprises removing the first application interface from the display, entering a thumbnail interface including the first application interface and a second application interface, and then displaying the second application interface in a full screen of the display.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying information comprises determining the induction signal is received in a predetermined area.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined area comprises a peripheral area along edges of the touch screen.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying information comprises determining a direction in which the induction signal is received.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying information comprises determining the induction signal comprises a drag signal.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting two induction signals.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining that the two induction signals are received in different directions, opposite directions, or one direction.
8. An apparatus for executing an operation on a touch screen of an electronic device, comprising
a detecting unit configured to detect and receive an induction signal induced by a contact of a pointing object with the touch screen;
a processor configured to:
identify information corresponding to the induction signal in response to receipt of the induction signal while a first application interface is displayed within a display of the electronic device;
determine a control operation based on the information; and
execute the control operation in response to the determination,
wherein the control operation comprises removing the first application interface from the display, entering a thumbnail interface including the first application interface and a second application interface, and then displaying the second application interface in a full screen of the display.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the induction signal is received in a predetermined area.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the induction signal is induced by a drag gesture.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect two induction signals.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the two induction signals are received in different directions, opposite directions or one direction.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a direction in which the induction signal is received.
14. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions comprising program instructions that configure a processor to:
detect and receive an induction signal induced by a contact of a pointing object with a touch screen;
identify information corresponding to the induction signal in response to receipt of the induction signal while a first application interface is displayed within on a display;
determine a control operation based on the information; and
execute the control operation in response to the determination,
wherein the control operation comprises removing the first application interface from the display, entering a thumbnail interface including the first application interface and a second application interface, and then displaying the second application interface in a full screen of the display.
15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the program instructions are further configured to determine the induction signal is received in a predetermined area.
16. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the program instructions are further configured to determine the induction signal is induced by a drag gesture.
17. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the program instructions are further configured to detect two induction signals.
18. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the program instructions are further configured to determine the two induction signals are received in different directions, opposite directions or one direction.
