Electronic device and method for implementing icon board based operation interface thereof
First Claim
1. A method for implementing an icon board based operation interface, used in an electronic device comprising a screen, wherein the electronic device supports a plurality of main functions, each of the main functions comprising at least one sub-function, the method comprising:
- arranging a plurality of areas within a screen frame on the screen for respectively displaying a function board for each of the main functions;
for each of the main functions, determining whether most current operating information of the at least one sub-function is stored in a storage unit of the electronic device;
generating a sub-function icon according to the most current operating information, wherein the sub-function icon includes a text or an image when the most current operating information of the at least one sub-function is stored in the storage unit of the electronic device, andusing a default icon as the sub-function icon when the most current operating information of the sub-function is not stored in the storage unit of the electronic device;
for each of the main functions, displaying a main function icon of the main function and the sub-function icon of each of the at least one sub-function together on the function board of the main function.

Abstract
An electronic device and a method for implementing an icon board based operation interface thereof are provided. In the method, a plurality of areas within a screen frame on a screen of the electronic device are arranged for respectively displaying a plurality of function boards, in which each of the function boards is corresponding to one of a plurality of main functions supported by the electronic device. For each main function including at least one sub-function, a sub-function icon thereof is generated according to a relevant historical operating information, and a main function icon of the main function and the sub-function icon of each sub-function are displayed together on the function board of the main function.

9. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a screen; a processing unit, coupled to the screen to provide a plurality of main functions, wherein each of the main functions respectively comprises at least one sub-function; and an operation interface implementation module, coupled to the screen and the processing unit to arrange a plurality of areas within a screen frame on the screen for respectively displaying a function board for each of the main functions; a storage unit, coupled to operation interface implementation module and the processing unit, wherein for each of the main functions, the operation interface implementation module determines whether most current operating information of the at least one sub-function is stored in the storage unit of the electronic device, wherein when the most current operating information of the at least one sub-function is stored in the storage unit of the electronic device, the operation interface implementation module generates a sub-function icon according to the most current operating information, wherein the sub-function icon includes a text or an image, wherein when the most current operating information of the sub-function is not stored in the storage unit of the electronic device, the operation interface implementation module uses a default icon as the sub-function icon, wherein for each of the main functions, the operation interface implementation module displays a main function icon of the main function and the sub-function icon of each of the at least one sub-function together on the function board of the main function. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
