in response to receiving an input to add the hand gesture:

displaying a hand-gesture setting page,

detecting an input customized hand gesture on the screen, and

setting a corresponding customized hand-gesture comparison rule and a corresponding customized form operation; and

storing the detected customized hand gesture, the corresponding hand-gesture comparison rule, and the corresponding form operation in the correspondence.

10. The mobile terminal apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the mobile terminal apparatus to further perform:

querying whether to replace an input password by the stored customized hand gesture;

in response to receiving an input to replace the input password:

displaying a password-setting page, and

storing a set password in the correspondence, wherein triggering a corresponding form operation includes:

retrieving the stored password from the correspondence, and triggering a password verification operation.

11. The mobile terminal apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the mobile terminal apparatus to further perform:

prompting the user to input one or more other customized hand gestures;

detecting whether the input customized hand gesture corresponds with at least some of the one or more other input customized hand gestures; and

in response to one or more correspondences, storing the input customized hand gesture and the corresponding input customized hand gestures into the correspondence.

12. The mobile terminal apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the mobile terminal apparatus to further perform:

13. The mobile terminal apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the correspondence includes at least one set of a hand gesture, a hand-gesture comparison rule, and a corresponding form operation, each set constituting the hand-gesture trigger template.

14. The mobile terminal apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the form operation comprises submitting the form.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of instructions that is executable by at least one processor of an apparatus to cause the apparatus to perform a method for form operation on a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
