Abstract

A method of controlling a smart phone comprises capturing a finger, hand or face image of a user by an image sensor. The captured image by the smart phone is analyzed. A first control signal in responsive to the finger, hand or face image is generated to perform a default function. At least a first and a second sub-display windows on the display is displayed, wherein a first and a second software interfaces are displayed on the at least first and second sub-display windows. The at least first and second sub-display windows are altered by a user command. The first sub-display window is overlapped over the second sub-display window to show. The second software interface is switched to the first software interface.

Claims

1. A method of controlling a smart phone, comprising:

capturing a finger, hand or face image of a user by an image sensor of said smart phone without touching a display or virtual keypad of said smart phone;

analyzing captured image by said smart phone;

generating a first control signal in responsive to said finger, hand or face image to perform a default function of said smart phone;

displaying at least a first and a second sub-display windows on said display, wherein a first and a second software interfaces are displayed on said at least said first and said second sub-display windows;

altering said at least said first and said second sub-display windows by a user command;

overlapping said first sub-display window over said second sub-display window to show; and

switching from said second software interface to said first software interface.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first or said second sub-display window is employed to display advertisement.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said smart phone include a multi-tasking module coupled to a control unit for reassigning said control unit between at least one task and another task to achieve parallelism.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1, furthering comprising dividing said display into multiple display windows by a display dividing module.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising in responsive to a vocal input to output a second control signal by a vocal recognition module without touching said smart phone.

6. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said smart phone includes at least one main window and at least one sub-window.

7. The method as set forth in claim 6, wherein a TV program is assigned into said main window and an interface of a communication module of said smart phone is assigned into said sub-window.

8. The method as set forth in claim 7, wherein said TV program is re-assigned into said sub window and said interface is re-assigned into said main-window.

9. The method as set forth in claim 6, wherein said TV program is assigned into said sub window and said interface is assigned into said main-window.

10. The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein said TV program is re-assigned into said main window and said interface is re-assigned into said sub-window.

11. The method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising conducting a call or chat with a remote terminal while watching video, and an interface of a communication module is assigned into a multiple display windows of said smart phone.

12. A method of controlling a smart phone, comprising:

capturing a face image of a user by an image sensor of said smart phone;

analyzing captured face image by said smart phone;

generating a first control signal in responsive to said analysis to perform a first default function without touching a display or keypad;

inputting a vocal by a microphone of said smart phone;

recognizing said input vocal by said smart phone;

generating a second control signal in responsive to said recognition to perform a second default function without touching a display or virtual keypad of said smart phone;

displaying at least a first and a second sub-display windows on said display, wherein a first and a second software interfaces are displayed on said at least said first and said second sub-display windows;

overlapping said first sub-display window over said second sub-display window to show; and

switching from said second software interface to said first software interface.

13. The method as set forth in claim 12, wherein said first or said second sub-display window is employed to display advertisement.

14. The method as set forth in claim 12, wherein said smart phone include a multi-tasking module coupled to a control unit for reassigning said control unit between at least one task and another task to achieve parallelism.

15. The method as set forth in claim 12, wherein said smart phone includes at least one main window and at least one sub-window.

16. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein a TV program is assigned into said main window and an interface of a communication module of said TV is assigned into said sub-window.

17. The method as set forth in claim 16, wherein said TV program is re-assigned into said sub window and said interface is re-assigned into said main-window.
