Abstract

An item switching method for a man-machine interface having a plurality of objects includes generating a stack list for recording selecting information related to the plurality of objects, receiving a command for selecting an object from the plurality of objects, and determining a procedure to select the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list.

Claims (28)

1. An item switching method for a man-machine interface having a plurality of objects, the method comprising:

generating a stack list utilized for recording selecting information related to the plurality of objects, wherein the stack list comprises a first selecting record corresponding to a first object after selecting an object, and a first execution level of the first object is lower than an execution level of the object;

receiving a command utilized for selecting the object from the plurality of objects;

determining a procedure utilized for selecting the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list; and

utilizing a central processing unit to delete the first selecting record in the stack list.

2. The item switching method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining the procedure utilized for selecting the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list comprises:

using a selecting record of the object to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list comprises the selecting record.

3. The item switching method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining the procedure utilized for selecting the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list comprises:

using a default selecting procedure to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list does not comprise a selecting record of the object.

4. A man-machine interface comprising:

a plurality of objects; and

a central processing unit, arranged for executing a switching module, the switching module comprising:

a generating module, configured to generate a stack list utilized for recording selecting information related to the plurality of objects, wherein the stack list comprises a first selecting record corresponding to a first object after selecting an object, and a first execution level of the first object is lower than an execution level of the object;

a receiving module, configured to receive a command utilized for selecting the object from the plurality of objects; and

a determining module, configured to determine a procedure utilized for selecting the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list, and deleting the first selecting record in the stack list.

5. The man-machine interface of claim 4 , wherein the determining module is utilized for using a selecting record of the object to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list comprises the selecting record.

6. The man-machine interface of claim 4 , wherein the determining module is utilized for using a default selecting procedure to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list does not comprise a selecting record of the object.

7. A cordless phone sub-handset comprising:

a central processing unit, for executing a man-machine interface; and

a storage device, coupled to the central processing unit, configured to store the man-machine interface, wherein the man-machine interface comprises:

a plurality of objects; and

a switching module, comprising:

a generating module, configured to generate a stack list utilized for recording selecting information related to the plurality of objects, wherein the stack list comprises a first selecting record corresponding to a first object after selecting an object, and a first execution level of the first object is lower than an execution level of the object;

a receiving module, configured to receive a command utilized for selecting the object from the plurality of objects; and

a determining module, configured to determine a procedure utilized for selecting the object according to the command and the selecting information recorded in the stack list, and deleting the first selecting record in the stack list.

8. The cordless phone sub-handset of claim 7 , wherein the determining module is utilized for using a selecting record of the object to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list comprises the selecting record.

9. The cordless phone sub-handset of claim 7 , wherein the determining module is utilized for using a default selecting procedure to select the object when the selecting information recorded in the stack list does not comprise a selecting record of the object.

10. The cordless phone sub-handset of claim 7 conforming to a Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications standard.
