Abstract

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for form operation on a mobile terminal. An exemplary method may include detecting an input hand gesture on a screen, and acquiring a trajectory of the input hand gesture. The method may also include matching the acquired trajectory of the input hand gesture with the hand gestures in correspondence in accordance with the hand-gesture comparison rules. The correspondence between hand gestures, hand-gesture comparison rules, and form operations is preset. The method may further include triggering a corresponding form operation if the matching is successful.

Claims (73)

1. A method for form operation on a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

detecting an input customized hand gesture on a screen;

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

6. The method for form operation on the mobile terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the criterion for the complexity of the customized hand gesture includes whether a number of inflections of a hand-gesture trajectory is within a preset inflection threshold.

7. The method for form operation on the mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

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

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 the corresponding form operation if the matching is successful includes retrieving the stored password from the correspondence and triggering a password verification operation.

8. The method for form operation on the mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein before storing the detected customized hand gesture, the method further comprises:

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.

9. A mobile terminal apparatus for form operation, the apparatus comprising:

a memory storing a set of instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the apparatus to perform:

detecting an input customized hand gesture on a screen;
