COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DESKTOP APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method being executed by a processor of a computing device for controlling desktop applications in the computing device, the method comprising:
- defining gesture types of touch events on a touch screen of the computing device, and setting associations between the gesture types and touch areas of the touch events and operation instructions stored within a storage device;
displaying a window of a desktop application on the touch screen;
recording information in relation to a touch event detected by the touch screen, the information comprising coordinate information and time information of contacts of the touch event;
determining a touch area and a gesture type of the touch event by analyzing the information in relation to the touch event, and determining an operation instruction corresponding to the touch event according to the touch area, the gesture type, and the associations; and
executing the operation instruction.

Abstract
A method defines gesture types of touch events on a touch screen of a computing device, and sets associations between the gesture types and touch areas of the touch events and operation instructions stored within a storage device. The computing device displays a window of a desktop application on the touch screen. When a touch event is detected by the touch screen, the method records information in relation to the touch event, determines a touch area and a gesture type of the touch event by analyzing the information, determines an operation instruction corresponding to the touch event according to the touch area, the gesture type, and the preset associations, and executes the operation instruction to perform operations on the window of the desktop application.
