Abstract

A mobile terminal and method for providing user shortcut operations are provided. The mobile terminal includes a mobile terminal TV function module (103), as well as a touch track identification module (104) and a keypad key logic translation module (105) both connected to the mobile terminal TV function module; it also includes a user configuration module (106) that is connected to both the keypad key logic translation module (105) and the touch track identification module (104), as well as a storage unit that is connected to the user configuration module (106) and the mobile terminal TV function module (103). The user configuration module (106) is used for setting a key instruction and/or touch track instruction aiming at a certain operation according to a user'"'"'s command and is also used for receiving the command sent by the user, searching the storage unit for the operation that corresponds to the received command, and calling the mobile terminal TV function module (103) through the keypad key logic translation module (105) and/or the touch track identification module (104) to execute the operation; the storage unit is used for recording the corresponding relationship between a certain operation and a key instruction and/or touch track instruction set by the user configuration module (106).

Claims

1. A mobile terminal for providing user shortcut operations, comprising:

a mobile terminal TV function module;

a keypad key logic translation module, which is connected to the mobile terminal TV function module;

a touch track identification module, which is connected to the mobile terminal TV function module;

a user configuration module, which is connected to both the keypad key logic translation module and the touch track identification module, the user configuration module being set for providing a shortcuts setting interface for a user, setting a key instruction and/or a touch track instruction corresponding to an operation based on a user'"'"'s command, and, according to the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction initiated by the terminal user, while the mobile terminal is playing back mobile terminal TV services, the user configuration module searching a storage unit for the operation corresponding to the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction, and calling the mobile terminal TV function module through the keypad key logic translation module and/or the touch track identification module to execute the operation, wherein the operation is an operation for mobile terminal TV services; and

a storage unit, connected to the user configuration module and the mobile terminal TV function module, being set to record the corresponding relationship between the operation and the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction set by the user configuration module.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein that the storage unit records the corresponding relationship between the key instruction and the operation means, saving an application key value converted from the key instruction and an operation value of the operation corresponding to the application key value;

and/or

that the storage unit records the corresponding relationship between the touch track instruction and the operation means, saving a track vector converted from the touch track and an operation value of the operation corresponding to the track vector.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein the storage unit is set to adopt an array structure to save the application key value and the operation value corresponding to the application key value;

and/or

the storage unit is set to save the track vector and the operation value corresponding to the track vector in the form of a structure list.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein that the user configuration module calls the mobile terminal TV function module through the keypad key logic translation module and/or the touch track identification module to execute the operation means:

the user configuration module sends the found operation value corresponding to the application key value converted from the key instruction to the keypad key logic translation module;

the keypad key logic translation module calls the mobile terminal TV function module to execute the corresponding operation according to the operation value; and

/or

the user configuration module sends the found operation value corresponding to the track vector converted from the touch track instruction to the touch track identification module;

the touch track identification module calls the mobile terminal TV function module to execute the corresponding operation according to the operation value.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 3, wherein that the user configuration module calls the mobile terminal TV function module through the keypad key logic translation module and/or the touch track identification module to execute the operation means:

the user configuration module sends the found operation value corresponding to the application key value converted from the key instruction to the keypad key logic translation module;

the keypad key logic translation module calls the mobile terminal TV function module to execute the corresponding operation according to the operation value; and

/or

the user configuration module sends the found operation value corresponding to the track vector converted from the touch track instruction to the touch track identification module;

the touch track identification module calls the mobile terminal TV function module to execute the corresponding operation according to the operation value.

6. A method for providing user shortcut operations, comprising:

a user setting a key instruction and/or a touch track instruction corresponding to an operation through a shortcut setting interface, and a mobile terminal recording the corresponding relationship between the key instruction and/or touch track instruction and the operation, wherein the operation is an operation for mobile terminal TV services;

while playing back mobile terminal TV services, the mobile terminal searching for and executing the operation corresponding to the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction after receiving the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction initiated by the terminal user.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein recording the corresponding relationship between the key instruction and the operation means, saving an application key value converted from the key instruction and an operation value corresponding to the application key value;

and/or

recording the corresponding relationship between the touch track instruction and the operation means, saving a track vector converted from the touch track and an operation value corresponding to the track vector.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein an array structure is adopted to save the application key value and the operation value corresponding to the application key value;

and/or

the track vector and the operation value corresponding to the track vector is saved in the form of a structure list.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein that the mobile terminal searches for and executes the operation corresponding to the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction means:

searching for the operation value corresponding to the application key value converted from the key instruction, and executing the corresponding operation according to the operation value; and

/or

searching for the operation value corresponding to the track vector converted from the touch track instruction, and executing the corresponding operation according to the operation value.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein that the mobile terminal searches for and executes the operation corresponding to the key instruction and/or the touch track instruction means:

searching for the operation value corresponding to the application key value converted from the key instruction, and executing the corresponding operation according to the operation value; and

/or

searching for the operation value corresponding to the track vector converted from the touch track instruction, and executing the corresponding operation according to the operation value.
