Abstract

A handheld electronic apparatus and an incoming call processing method of the handheld electronic apparatus are provided. When an incoming call is received, a type of an operating interface displayed on a touch display screen is determined; according to the type of the operating interface, it is decided whether to display a sub-call window interface on the operating interface.

Claims (12)

1. An incoming call processing method configured for a handheld electronic apparatus having a touch display screen, the incoming call processing method comprising:

receiving an incoming call;

deciding whether to display a sub-call window interface on an operating interface displayed on the touch display screen by determining whether the operating interface is a normal application operating interface, wherein the normal application operating interface includes any operating interface other than a full-screen call interface, a screen-locking interface and a standby interface;

if the operating interface is not the normal application operating interface, displaying the full-screen call interface on the touch display screen to replace the operating interface originally displayed on the touch display screen;

if the operating interface is the normal application operating interface, further determining whether the handheld electronic apparatus is preset to display the sub-call window interface;

if the handheld electronic apparatus is not preset to display the sub-call window interface, displaying the full-screen call interface on the touch display screen to replace the operating interface originally displayed on the touch display screen; and

if the handheld electronic apparatus is preset to display the sub-call window interface, displaying the sub-call window interface on the operating interface without blocking the entire operating interface, wherein the sub-call window interface at least comprises a call interface switching control key for switching between the sub-call window interface and the full-screen call interface and a sub-call window zooming control key for hiding the sub-call window interface to prevent the sub-call window interface from blocking the operating interface.

2. The incoming call processing method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising performing a touch action on the sub-call window interface to move a location of the sub-call window interface on the touch display screen, the touch action comprising a sliding action.

3. A handheld electronic apparatus comprising:

a touch display screen; and

a processing unit coupled to the touch display screen, the processing unit determining, when receiving an incoming call, whether to display a sub-call window interface on an operating interface displayed on the touch display screen by determining whether the operating interface is a normal application operating interface, wherein the normal application operating interface includes any operating interface other than a full-screen call interface, a screen-locking interface and a standby interface, the processing unit controls the touch display screen to display the full-screen call interface if the operating interface is not the normal application operating interface, and determines whether the handheld electronic apparatus is preset to display the sub-call window interface if the operating interface is the normal application operating interface, the processing unit controls the touch display screen to display the full-screen call interface if the handheld electronic apparatus is not preset to display the sub-call window interface, and the processing unit controls the touch display screen to display the sub-call window interface on the operating interface if the handheld electronic apparatus is preset to display the sub-call window interface, wherein the sub-call window interface at least comprises a call interface switching control key for switching between the sub-call window interface and the full-screen call interface and a sub-call window zooming control key for hiding the sub-call window interface to prevent the sub-call window interface from blocking the operating interface.

4. The handheld electronic apparatus as recited in claim 3 , wherein the processing unit further performs a touch action on the sub-call window interface to move a location of the sub-call window interface on the touch display screen, and the touch action comprises a sliding action.
