Abstract

A device and its operating method for mobile communication, the mobile communication device includes a micro processor, a memory which has an instruction database and an image database, a touch panel, a message module and a communication module. After a user inputs a symbol, the micro processor will retrieve and execute an operating instruction which corresponds to the symbol from the image database and the instruction database, or look for the contact and perform the communication action which corresponds to the symbol. When the operating instruction or the communication action which corresponds to the symbol fails, the micro processor will enter a setting interface to set up an operating instruction or communication action which corresponds to the symbol.

Claims

1. A mobile communication device which allows handwriting to input at least one symbol to execute a preset corresponding operating instruction, comprising:

a touch panel for handwriting to input the symbols and for displaying an operating interface of the mobile communication device;

a memory, including;

an image database for storing the symbols;

an instruction database for storing the operating instructions which correspond to the symbols; and

at least one software;

a micro processor for analyzing the symbols based on the image database, retrieving the corresponding operating instruction from the instruction database according to the analysis result, executing the corresponding software based on the operating instruction and when the analysis of the symbols or retrieving the symbols and corresponding operating instruction fails, setting up the operating instruction and the software which correspond to the symbols;

a communication module, connecting to the micro processor for executing a voice communication; and

a message module, connecting to the micro processor for sending put a message.

2. The mobile communication device of claim 1, wherein the touch panel includes an input screen for handwriting to input the symbols.

3. The mobile communication device of claim 1, further including:

a keyboard for inputting texts or making a call; and

an antenna module for executing the communication.

4. The mobile communication device of claim 1, further including:

a monitor for displaying the operating interface; and

a handwriting board for handwriting to input the symbols and inputting texts.

5. The mobile communication device of claim 1, wherein the memory is an external memory or a embedded memory.

6. An operating method of mobile communication device, for handwriting to input at least one symbol to execute an corresponding operating instruction, the method comprising:

receiving the symbols, which are inputted at a input screen of a touch panel;

determining an instruction code which corresponds to the symbol based on an image database;

retrieving a corresponding operating instruction from the instruction database based on the instruction code; and

determining whether the symbol corresponds to the instruction code and the operating instruction, wherein when the symbol corresponds to the instruction code and the operating instruction, executing the operating instruction otherwise setting up the operating instruction which corresponds to the symbol or the software which corresponds to the operating instruction.

7. The operating method of claim 6, wherein the instruction code is a English word, a Chinese word, a Latin word or a number.

8. The operating method of claim 6, wherein the operating instruction includes starting the software, stopping the software, or executing a specific function of the software.

9. The operating method of claim 6, wherein the step of setting up the operating instruction or the software includes:

selecting setting up with the symbol or reentering the symbol;

selecting the corresponding software from a software list;

producing an operating instruction list based on the selected software; and

selecting the operating instruction to be corresponded to the symbol.

10. A mobile communication device for handwriting to input at least one symbol to make a call or send a message to a contact which corresponds to the symbol, comprising:

a touch panel for handwriting to input the symbols and for displaying an operating interface of the mobile communication device;

a memory, including;

an image database for storing the symbols; and

an instruction database for storing the contact which corresponds to the symbol and a communication action;

a micro processor for analyzing the symbols based on the image database, retrieving the corresponding contact from the instruction database and executing the corresponding communication action according to the analysis result, wherein when the analysis of the contact and the communication action to be executed to be corresponded to the symbol fails, setting up the contact and the communication action which correspond to the symbol;

a message module for sending put a message to the contact; and

a communication module for making a call to the contact.

11. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the touch panel includes an input screen for handwriting to input the symbols.

12. The mobile communication device of claim 10, further including:

a keyboard for inputting texts or making a call; and

an antenna module for executing the communication.

13. The mobile communication device of claim 10, further including:

a monitor for displaying the operating interface; and

a handwriting board for handwriting to input the symbols and inputting texts.

14. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the memory is an external memory or a embedded memory.

15. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the communication action includes making a call and sending a message.

16. An operating method of mobile communication device, for handwriting to input at least one symbol to make a call or send message to a contact which corresponds to the symbol, the method comprising:

inputting the symbol at a input screen of a touch panel;

determining an instruction code which corresponds to the symbol based on an image database;

searching for the corresponding contact and a corresponding communication action based on the instruction code; and

determining whether the corresponding contact and the communication action can be found, wherein when the corresponding contact and the communication action are found, execute the corresponding communication action otherwise select setting up the contact and the communication action which correspond to the symbol.

17. The operating method of claim 16, wherein the step of setting up the contact and the communication action includes:

opening up a contact list;

selecting the contact from the contact list;

selecting setting up with the symbol or reentering the symbol; and

selecting making a call or sending a message as the communication action.
