Abstract

Management methods and systems for item change are provided. First, a plurality of items are provided. An instruction for performing a change between the items is received. When the change between the items is performed, a notification is generated to inform the performance of the corresponding change.

Claims

1. A management method for item change for use in an electronic device, comprising:

providing a plurality of items;

receiving an instruction for performing a change between the items; and

when the change between the items is performed, generating a notification to inform the performance of the corresponding change, wherein the notification comprises a vibration, the items are arranged in a specific sequence, and an intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between the last two items in the specific sequence is not less than the intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between any two items in the specific sequence.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises lights, sounds, or a vibration.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the items comprise a first item, a second item, and a third item, and the notification corresponding to the change between the first item and the second item and the notification corresponding to the change between the second item and the third item are different.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the items comprise a first item, a second item, and a third item, the notification comprises a vibration, and the vibration corresponding to the change between the first item and the second item and the vibration corresponding to the change between the second item and the third item have different vibration states.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the instruction via at least one physical button, a touch-sensitive screen, or an optical unit of the electronic device.

6. A management system for item change for use in an electronic device, comprising:

a receiving unit receiving an instruction; and

a processing unit performing a change between items in response to the instruction, and generating a notification to inform the performance of the corresponding change when the change between the items is performed, wherein the notification comprises a vibration, the items are arranged in a specific sequence, and an intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between the last two items in the specific sequence is not less than the intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between any two items in the specific sequence.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the notification comprises lights, sounds, or a vibration.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the items comprise a first item, a second item, and a third item, and the notification corresponding to the change between the first item and the second item and the notification corresponding to the change between the second item and the third item are different.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the items comprise a first item, a second item, and a third item, the notification comprises a vibration, and the vibration corresponding to the change between the first item and the second item and the vibration corresponding to the change between the second item and the third item have different vibration states.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the receiving unit comprises at least one physical button, a touch-sensitive screen, or an optical unit for receiving the instruction.

11. A management method for item change for use in an electronic device, comprising:

providing a plurality of items;

detecting a motion of the electronic device by at least one sensing unit, and generating an instruction according to the motion;

in response to the instruction, performing a change between the items; and

when the change between the items is performed, generating a notification to inform the performance of the corresponding change, wherein the notification comprises a vibration, the items are arranged in a specific sequence, and an intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between the last two items in the specific sequence is not less than the intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between any two items in the specific sequence.

12. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a management method for item change for use in an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:

providing a plurality of items;

receiving an instruction for performing a change between the items; and

when the change between the items is performed, generating a notification to inform the performance of the corresponding change, wherein the notification comprises a vibration, the items are arranged in a specific sequence, and an intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between the last two items in the specific sequence is not less than the intensity of vibration corresponding to the change between any two items in the specific sequence.
