Abstract

A portable electronic device for presenting a recommendation message is described. The device includes display; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. The device detects a trigger event based on a user input, the trigger event initiating a receipt of non-tactile user input; and, in response to detecting the trigger event, receives non-tactile user input. The device generates one or more character strings based on the non-tactile user input and one or more predefined string generation rules. Each character string of the one or more character strings includes multiple characters. The device generates a recommendation message that includes the one or more character strings; and displays the recommendation message on the display. A corresponding method and a computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by the portable electronic device are also described.

Claims

1. A method for presenting a recommendation message, performed by a portable electronic device with display, memory and one or more processors, the method comprising:

detecting a trigger event based on a user input, the trigger event initiating a receipt of non-tactile user input;

in response to detecting the trigger event, receiving non-tactile user input;

generating one or more character strings based on the non-tactile user input and one or more predefined string generation rules, each character string of the one or more character strings including multiple characters;

generating a recommendation message that includes the one or more character strings; and

displaying the recommendation message on the display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the portable electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface configured for receiving a tactile input and one or more non-tactile sensors;

the trigger event based on the user input is detected by the touch-sensitive surface; and

the non-tactile user input is received by at least one of the one or more non-tactile sensors.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more non-tactile sensors include one or more of:

a motion sensor configured to detect shaking or swaying of the portable electronic device;

a sound sensor configured to receive a voice input; and

a light sensor configured to detect light.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more character strings include a set of random numbers generated based on the non-tactile user input.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the recommendation message includes a user interface element for making a payment;

the method includes;

while displaying the recommendation message, receiving a user selection of the user interface element for making the payment; and

in response to receiving the user selection of the user interface element for making the payment, sending a payment request to an external server.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the non-tactile user input that satisfies one or more predefined criterion is used for generating the one or more character strings.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein amplitude of the non-tactile user input is used for generating the one or more character strings.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more character strings include recommended numbers for a lottery ticket.

9. A portable electronic device for presenting a recommendation message, comprising:

a display;

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;

detecting a trigger event based on a user input, the trigger event initiating a receipt of non-tactile user input;

in response to detecting the trigger event, receiving non-tactile user input;

generating one or more character strings based on the non-tactile user input and one or more predefined string generation rules, each character string of the one or more character strings including multiple characters;

generating a recommendation message that includes the one or more character strings; and

displaying the recommendation message on the display.

10. The device of claim 9, further comprising a touch-sensitive surface configured for receiving a tactile input and one or more non-tactile sensors, wherein:

the trigger event based on the user input is detected by the touch-sensitive surface; and

the non-tactile user input is received by at least one of the one or more non-tactile sensors.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the one or more non-tactile sensors include one or more of:

a motion sensor configured to detect shaking or swaying of the portable electronic device;

a sound sensor configured to receive a voice input; and

a light sensor configured to detect light.

12. The device of claim 9, wherein the one or more character strings include a set of random numbers generated based on the non-tactile user input.

13. The device of claim 9, wherein:

the recommendation message includes a user interface element for making a payment;

the one or more programs include instructions for;

while displaying the recommendation message, receiving a user selection of the user interface element for making the payment; and

in response to receiving the user selection of the user interface element for making the payment, sending a payment request to an external server.

14. The device of claim 9, wherein a portion of the non-tactile user input that satisfies one or more predefined criterion is used for generating the one or more character strings.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a portable electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:

detecting a trigger event based on a user input, the trigger event initiating a receipt of non-tactile user input;

in response to detecting the trigger event, receiving non-tactile user input;

generating one or more character strings based on the non-tactile user input and one or more predefined string generation rules, each character string of the one or more character strings including multiple characters;

generating a recommendation message that includes the one or more character strings; and

displaying the recommendation message on the display.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein:

the portable electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface configured for receiving a tactile input and one or more non-tactile sensors;

the trigger event based on the user input is detected by the touch-sensitive surface; and

the non-tactile user input is received by at least one of the one or more non-tactile sensors.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the one or more non-tactile sensors include one or more of:

a motion sensor configured to detect shaking or swaying of the portable electronic device;

a sound sensor configured to receive a voice input; and

a light sensor configured to detect light.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the one or more character strings include a set of random numbers generated based on the non-tactile user input.

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein:

the recommendation message includes a user interface element for making a payment;

the one or more programs include instructions for;

while displaying the recommendation message, receiving a user selection of the user interface element for making the payment; and

in response to receiving the user selection of the user interface element for making the payment, sending a payment request to an external server.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein a portion of the non-tactile user input that satisfies one or more predefined criterion is used for generating the one or more character strings.
