1. An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
a processor coupled to the touch screen; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the processor and storing a relationship between a plurality of templates and a plurality of applications, the non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to cause the processor to;
control the touch screen to display a drawing area;
detect one or more touch positions in the drawing area to determine a touch track;
recognize a shape of the touch track;
determine whether a template similar to the shape is existed in the non-transitory computer readable medium; and
launch one application corresponding to the template similar to the shape according to the relationship between the plurality of templates and the plurality of applications when a template similar to the shape is existed in the non-transitory computer readable medium.

Abstract
A method for launching a further program even though another application is already open controls a touch screen to display a drawing area, and detects one or more touch positions in the drawing area to determine a touch track. The method further recognizes a shape of the touch track, determines whether a template similar to the input shape is existed, and launches one application corresponding to the template similar to the shape according to the relationship between the templates and the applications when the template similar to the shape is existed. A related electronic device and a related non-transitory storage medium are also provided.
