Abstract

A device for setting text-appearance formation of a mobile terminal is provided. The device includes a command receiver, a text-appearance formation selector, and a text-appearance formation transformer. The command receiver is configured to receive a first operation command and a second operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation. The text-appearance formation selector is configured to provide a plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation according to the first operation command and select at least one setting item of the text-appearance formation according to the second operation command. The text-appearance formation transformer is coupled to the text-appearance formation selector and configured to change the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting item of the text-appearance formation.

Claims

1. A device for setting text-appearance formation of a mobile terminal, comprising:

a command receiver for receiving a first operation command and a second operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation;

a text-appearance formation selector for providing a plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation according to the first operation command and selecting at least one setting item of the text-appearance formation according to the second operation command; and

a text-appearance formation transformer, coupled to the text-appearance formation selector, for changing the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting item of the text-appearance formation.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprises a plurality of setting references, the text-appearance formation selector selects at least one setting reference according to a third operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation, the text-appearance formation transformer changes the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting reference, and the third operation command is received by the command receiver.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first operation command is generated by touching at least one selected text in a text view with one long touch.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprise text-font setting, text-size setting, text-color setting, background-color setting, highlight setting, text-style setting, indent setting, width setting, alignment setting, spacing setting, and color setting of auto links.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a memory for storing the plurality of setting items of text-appearance formation for the text-appearance formation selector and storing at least one setting value of the text-appearance formation.

6. The device as claimed in claim 5 further comprising:

a text-appearance formation editor, coupled to the memory, for editing the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation and storing the plurality of edited setting items of the text-appearance formation in the memory.

7. A method for setting text-appearance formation of a mobile terminal comprising

receiving a first operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation;

providing a plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation according to the first operation command;

receiving a second operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation;

selecting at least one setting item of the text-appearance formation according to the second operation command; and

changing the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting item of the text-appearance formation.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7,

wherein each of the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprises a plurality of setting references;

wherein the method further comprises;

receiving a third operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation;

selecting at least one setting reference according to the third operation command; and

changing the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting reference.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first operation command is generated by touching at least one selected text in a text view with one long touch.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprise text-font setting, text-size setting, text-color setting, background-color setting, highlight setting, text-style setting, indent setting, width setting, alignment setting, spacing setting, and color setting of auto links.

11. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:

storing the plurality of setting items of text-appearance formation; and

storing at least one setting value of the text-appearance formation.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

editing the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation; and

storing the plurality of edited setting items of the text-appearance formation.

13. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a device for setting text-appearance formation of a mobile terminal, wherein the device comprising;

a command receiver for receiving a first operation command and a second operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation;

a text-appearance formation selector for providing a plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation according to the first operation command and selecting at least one setting item of the text-appearance formation according to the second operation command; and

a text-appearance formation transformer, coupled to the text-appearance formation selector, for changing the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting item of the text-appearance formation.

14. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 13, wherein each of the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprises a plurality of setting references, the text-appearance formation selector selects at least one setting reference according to a third operation command used for changing the text-appearance formation, the text-appearance formation transformer changes the text-appearance formation according to the at least one selected setting reference, and the third operation command is received by the command receiver.

15. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 13, wherein the first operation command is generated by touching at least one selected text in a text view with one long touch.

16. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 13, wherein the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation comprise text-font setting, text-size setting, text-color setting, background-color setting, highlight setting, text-style setting, indent setting, width setting, alignment setting, spacing setting, and color setting of auto links.

17. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 13, wherein the device further comprising:

a memory for storing the plurality of setting items of text-appearance formation for the text-appearance formation selector and storing at least one setting value of the text-appearance formation.

18. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 17, wherein the device further comprising:

a text-appearance formation editor, coupled to the memory, for editing the plurality of setting items of the text-appearance formation and storing the plurality of edited setting items of the text-appearance formation in the memory.
