SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DEVICE SWITCHING ON/OFF, AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device capable of controlling device switching on/off, for switching on/off at least an electronic device having wireless communication functionality, the mobile communication device comprising:
- a haptic display unit, displaying a setting page, the setting page having a clock pattern and at least a set of timer indexes, the set of timer indexes including a switch-on index and a switch-off index, the switch-on index and the switch-off index located on the fringe of the clock pattern indicating a start time and a stop time, respectively, wherein the switch-on index and the switch-off index slide around the fringe of the clock pattern according to the touch gestures of a user to determine the start time and the stop time, wherein the start time and the stop time vary along with positions of the switch-on index and the switch-off index; and
a processing unit, switching on the electronic device based on the start time, and switching off the electronic device based on the stop time.

Abstract
A system for controlling device switching on/off including an electronic device and a mobile communication device is illustrated. The mobile communication device includes a haptic display unit and a processing unit. The haptic display unit displays a setting page having a clock pattern and a set of timer indexes. The set of timer indexes includes a switch-on index and a switch-off index locating on the fringe of the clock pattern and indicating to a start time and a stop time respectively. The switch-on and switch-off indexes slide around the fringe of the clock pattern to determine the start and stop time according to touch gestures of a user. The start time and stop time change based on the location of the indexes. The processing unit configures the electronic device to be switched on and off based on the start and stop time, accordingly.

14. A method for controlling device switching on/off, used for configuring on/off operation of an electronic using a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
-
providing a setting page on a haptic display unit of the mobile communication device, the setting page having a clock pattern and at least a set of timer indexes, the set of timer indexes including a switch-on index and a switch-off index, the switch-on index and the switch-off located on the fringe of the clock pattern indicating a start time and a stop time respectively; determining the sliding operations of the switch-on index and switch-off index in response to the touch gestures of a user so as to determine the start time and stop time, wherein the start time and the start time vary along with positions of the switch-on index and the switch-off index; switching on the electronic device in response to the start time determined; and switching off the electronic device in response to the stop time determined. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
