Abstract

A method for operating a page and an electronic device are provided. In the method, touch signal is received first via a touch screen. Then, if the time for which the touch signal keeps at a location of the touch screen reaches a preset time is determined. If the time for which the touch signal keeps at the location reaches the preset time, a moving track formed by the touch signal is captured, and a page displayed on the touch screen is operated according to the type of the moving track. In the method, whether the touch signal of the user is responded depends on the time of the touch signal. Consequently, the inconvenience caused by unintentional touch can be avoided, and the user can achieve the operation of the page by simple touch signal.

Claims

1. A method for operating a touch screen, the method comprising:

receiving a touch signal on the touch screen;

determining whether the touch signal is a trigger signal;

capturing a moving track if the touch signal is the trigger signal; and

performing an operation to a page according to the moving track.

2. The method for operating a touch screen according to claim 1, wherein the trigger signal is a long-keeping signal which keeps still at a location on the touch screen in a preset time, or a continuously-tapping signal in a preset time.

3. The method for operating the page according to claim 1, wherein the operation comprises rotate, move, zoom in, zoom out, and adjust the page.

4. The method for operating the page according to claim 3, wherein the operation is rotating the page towards a moving direction corresponding to the moving track.

5. The method for operating the page according to claim 4, wherein the operation is rotating the page in a preset angle towards the moving direction.

6. The method for operating the page according to claim 3, wherein the operation is moving the page towards a moving direction corresponding to the moving track.

7. The method for operating the page according to claim 6, wherein the operation is moving the page in a preset distance towards the moving direction.

8. The method for operating the page according to claim 3, wherein the operation is zooming in or out the page according to the moving track.

9. The method for operating the page according to claim 3, wherein the operation includes the content of the page inside a frame.

10. The method for operating the page according to claim 3, wherein the operation includes a frame with the content of the entire page.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a touch screen for displaying a page and receiving a touch signal;

a touch time determining module, coupled to the touch screen, for determining whether the touch signal is a trigger signal ; and

an operating module, coupled to the touch screen and the touch time determining module, for capturing a moving track and performing an operation to the page according to the moving track when the touch signal is the trigger signal.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the trigger signal is a long-keeping signal which keeps still at a location on the touch screen in a preset time, or a continuously-tapping signal in a preset time.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the operating module rotates, moves, zooms in, zooms out, and adjusts the page.

14. The electronic device according to claim 13, wherein the operating module rotates the page towards a moving direction corresponding to the moving track.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14, wherein the operating module rotates the page in a preset angle towards the moving direction.

16. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the operating module moves the page towards a moving direction corresponding to the moving track.

17. The electronic device according to claim 16, wherein the operating module moves the page in a preset distance towards the moving direction.

18. The electronic device according to claim 12, wherein the operating module zooms in or out the page according to the moving track.

19. The electronic device according to claim 12, wherein the operation includes the content of the page inside a frame.

20. The electronic device according to claim 12, wherein the operation includes a frame with the content of the entire page.
