Abstract

A method for executing an application program is applied to an electronic device. A frame displayed by the electronic device includes a first icon, and the first icon corresponds to the application program. The method includes storing a first predetermined parameter corresponding to a first function of the application program; generating a first graph at a first location of the frame; dragging the first icon to overlap at least part of the first graph; comparing the first graph with the first predetermined parameter; starting the first function of the application program if the first graph matches the first predetermined parameter.

Claims

1. A method for executing an application program, the method being applied to an electronic device, a frame displayed by the electronic device comprising a first icon, the first icon corresponding to the application program, the method comprising:

storing a first predetermined parameter corresponding to a first function of the application program;

generating a first graph at a first location of the frame;

dragging the first icon to overlap at least part of the first graph;

comparing the first graph with the first predetermined parameter; and

starting the first function of the application program if the first graph matches the first predetermined parameter.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device has a touch screen displaying the frame, the method further comprising:

drawing the first graph on the touch screen; and

dragging the first icon on the touch screen.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein, the first icon is moved in a three-dimensional display method when the electronic device displays the frame and the first icon, in the three-dimensional display method, the first graph is a three-dimensional graph.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first location is located at a position where the frame does not display any icon on.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first predetermined parameter is a first predetermined character, the method further comprising:

executing character identification on the first graph into a first character, and starting the first function of the application program if the first character matches the first predetermined character.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the application program is a read program for reading an electronic book with page numbers, and the first predetermined character is a page number, wherein starting the first function is displaying a page of the electronic book according to the page number, wherein the page has a corresponding page number.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first predetermined parameter is a predetermined graph, the method further comprising:

executing a similarity comparison on the first graph and the predetermined graph, and starting the first function of the application program when a difference between the first graph and the predetermined graph is smaller than an error value.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first function is an uninstall function of the application program when the first graph is an “

X”

graph.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the predetermined graph is a signature corresponding to a user, the method further comprising:

storing a first usage parameter of the user corresponding to the first function of the application program; and

starting the first function according to the first usage parameter when the first graph matches the signature.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the application program is a read program for reading an electronic book having page numbers, the first usage parameter is a first page number displayed by the electronic book when the user turns off the read program previous time, and a page having the first page number of the electronic book is displayed when the first graph matches the signature.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the frame further displays a second icon, the method further comprising:

executing the second icon to generate the first graph at the first location.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein when the second icon corresponds to an identification parameter of a user and the first predetermined parameter comprises the identification parameter of the user and a usage parameter of a user, the usage parameter of the user is utilized to execute the first function.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein a time parameter is utilized to execute the first function when the second icon corresponds to the time parameter.

14. The method of claim 7, wherein the first function is a ruler function of the application program when the first graph is a long bar.

15. The method of claim 7, wherein the first function is a calculator function of the application program when the first graph is a square.

16. The method of claim 7, wherein the first function is a protractor function of the application program when the first graph is a circle.

17. The method of claim 7, wherein the first function is a set square function of the application program when the first graph is a triangle.

18. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

drawing a second graph on the application program when the application program is started;

comparing the second graph with a second predetermined parameter; and

starting a second function of the application program if the second graph matches the second predetermined parameter.

19. A method for executing an application program, the method being applied to an electronic device, a frame displayed by the electronic device comprising a first icon, the first icon corresponding to the application program, the method comprising:

storing a first predetermined parameter corresponding to a first function of the application program;

generating a first graph at a first location of the frame;

dragging the first icon from a first position to overlap at least part of the first graph;

comparing the first graph with the first predetermined parameter; and

moving the first icon to the first position if the first graph does not match the first predetermined parameter.
