Abstract

A quick access function setting method for a touch control device is provided, comprising: establishing one-to-one correspondence relation between input gestures of a touch screen and a designated quick access module; saving parameters of the input gestures in the memory area of a central processing unit; regularly detecting input signals in a touch control area and recording the input signals into a memory of the central processing unit by the touch screen in the working state; comparing the input signals with the parameters in the memory area, and executing the corresponding quick access function template if the input signals are matched with the parameters. By the method, it is able to conveniently and quickly access the required function module, and even access the function module with the keyboard locked, thus saving time for searching the function templates on the touch interface.

Claims

1. A quick access function setting method for a touch control device, the touch control device comprising a central processing unit and a touch screen, the method comprising the following steps of:

1, establishing a one-to-one correspondence relation between input gestures of the touch screen and quick access function modules oriented to the input gestures, input gestures including double or multiple consecutive clicks, setting number of click to S;

2, saving parameters of the input gestures in a memory area of the central processing unit;

3, regularly detecting input signals of a touch control area, recording the input signals in a register of the central processing unit after detecting click operation and comparing the input signals with the parameters in the memory area by the touch screen in the working state;

4, detecting if a finger re-click coordinate position recorded in step 3 and neighborhood in a click time interval T, and if so, carrying out accumulative operation N=N+1 on the number of clicks by a counter, wherein the initial value of N is 1; and

,

5, judging if N is equal to S, and if N=S, executing the corresponding quick access function module;

otherwise, prompting users to re-enter or returning to step 3 for continuous detection.

2. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the time T is set to 0.01<

T≦

1s.

3. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the neighborhood of the coordinate position recorded in step 3 refers to a preset area within the click error scope.

4. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the central processing unit of the touch control device is loaded with keypad lock application, skips over the currently enabled keypad lock application and directly executes the corresponding quick access function module when comparison shows that the information recorded in the register is matched with the parameters in the memory area in step 5.

5. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the central processing unit of the touch control device is loaded with a keypad lock application;

the system prompts to exit the keypad lock application if detecting that the keypad lock application is enabled when comparison shows the information recorded in the register is matched with the parameters in the memory area in step 5.

6. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the parameters of double or multiple consecutive click input gesture include click times, click time interval thresholds and lick pressure thresholds.

7. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 6, characterized in that parameters of the input gesture also include coordinate thresholds of the touch control area.

8. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 7, characterized in that the touch control area is the full screen or a blank area or an area limited by coordinate thresholds of the touch screen.

9. The quick access function setting method for a touch control device according to claim 1, characterized in that the quick access function modules include a short message service module, a phonebook module, a call log module, a network service module, a software/hardware setting module, a notepad module, an entertainment module and a dialing module.
