Abstract

A computer system and an interface operational method are provided. The interface operational method includes: receiving an input; determining whether the input conforms to a first operation, a second operation or not; and switching the current functional interface to another functional interface of a plurality of functional interfaces according to an arrangement order when the input conforms to the first operation, or selecting one message area of a plurality of message areas of the current functional interface when the input conforms to the second operation.

Claims (40)

1. An interface operation methodused for a computer system, wherein the computer system comprises an input device and a display device, the computer system provides a plurality of functional interfaces and the display device is used for displaying one current functional interface of the functional interfaces, the functional interfaces comprise an arrangement order and each functional interface comprises a plurality of message areas, and the interface operation method comprises:

receiving an input through the input device;

determining whether the input conforms to a first operation; and

switching the current functional interface to another functional interface of the functional interfaces according to the arrangement order when the input conforms to the first operation.

2. The interface operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the input is generated by at least one of pressing the input device and dragging the input device.

3. The interface operation method according to claim 2 , wherein the first operation is at least one of a press of a first specific key combination of the input device and a first specific tracegenerated by dragging the input device, and the first specific key combination comprises at least one key of the input device.

4. Theinterface operation method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

determining whether the input conforms to a second operation; and

selecting one of the message areas of the current functional interface when the input conforms to the second operation,

wherein the second operation is at least one of a press of a second specific key combination of the input device and a second specific trace generated by dragging the input device, and the second specific key combination comprises at least one key of the input device.

5. The interface operation method according to claim 4 , wherein the message areas of the current functional interface are divided into a first message area group and a second message area group, and the step of selecting one of the message areas of the current functional interface when the input conforms to the second operation comprises:

selectingone of the message areasfrom the first message area group when the input conforms to a third operation; and

selecting one of the message areas from the second message area group when the input conforms to a fourth operation,

wherein the third operation is at least one of a press of a third specific key combination of the input device and a third specific trace generated by dragging the input device, and the fourth operation is at least one of a press of a fourth specific key combination of the input device and a fourth specific trace generated by dragging the input device.

6. Theinterface operation method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the message areas of each functional interface comprises an operation option.

7. Theinterface operation method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving an altering operation; and

altering the operation option according to the altering operation,

wherein the altering operation is at least one of a press of a specific altering key combination of the input device and a specific altering trace generated by dragging the input device.

8. A computer system, used for providing a plurality of functional interfaces, the functional interfaces comprising an arrangement order and each functional interface comprising a plurality of message areas, and the computer system comprising:

a display device, used for displaying one current functional interface of the functional interfaces;

an input device, used for receiving an input; and

a processor, used for:

determining whether the first input conforms to a first operation; and

switching the current functional interface to another functional interface of the functional interfaces according to the arrangement order when the input conforms to the first operation.

9. The computer system according to claim 8 , wherein the input is generated by at least one of pressing the input device and dragging the input device.

10. The computer system according to claim 9 , wherein the first operation is at least one of a press of a first specific key combination of the input device and a first specific trace generated by dragging the input device, and the first specific key combination comprises at least one key of the input device.

11. The computer system according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further used for:

determining whether the first input conforms to a second operation; and

selecting one of the operation areas of the current functional interface when the input conforms to the second operation,

wherein the second operation is at least one of a press of a second specific key combination of the input device and a second specific trace generated by dragging the input device, and the second specific key combination comprises at least one key of the input device.

12. The computer system according to claim 11 , wherein the message areas of the current functional interface are divided into a first message area group and a second message area group, and the processor is further used for:

selecting one of the message areas from the first message area group when the input conforms to a third operation; and

selecting one of the message areas from the second message area group when the input conforms to a fourth operation,

wherein the third operation is at least one of a press of a third specific key combination of the input device and a third specific trace generated by dragging the input device, and the fourth operation is at least one of a press of a fourth specific key combination of the input device and a fourth specific trace generated by dragging the input device.

13. The computer system according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the message areas of each functional interfaces comprises an operation option.

14. The computer system according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is further used for:

receiving an altering operation; and

altering the operation option according to the altering operation,

wherein the altering operation is at least one of a press of a specific altering key combination of the input device and a specific altering trace generated by dragging the input device.
