Abstract

A quick access function setting method for a touch control device is provided, comprising: establishing one-to-one correspondence relation between input gestures of a touch screen and a designated quick access module; saving parameters of the input gestures in the memory area of a central processing unit; regularly detecting input signals in a touch control area and recording the input signals into a memory of the central processing unit by the touch screen in the working state; comparing the input signals with the parameters in the memory area, and executing the corresponding quick access function template if the input signals are matched with the parameters. By the method, it is able to conveniently and quickly access the required function module, and even access the function module with the keyboard locked, thus saving time for searching the function templates on the touch interface.

Claims

1. A method comprising the following steps of:

step (1), performed by a touch control device comprising a touch screen, and comprising;

establishing a one-to-one correspondence relation between input gestures of the touch screen and quick access function modules oriented to the input gestures, the input gestures including a double or multiple consecutive click input gesture, setting the number of clicks of the double or multiple consecutive click input gesture to S;

step (2), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

saving parameters of the input gestures;

step (3), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

regularly detecting input signals in a touch control area, recording the input signals after detecting a click operation and comparing the input signals with the parameters, wherein the touch control area is a blank area of the touch screen;

when the touch control device is locked, unlocking the touch control device and entering a main interface does not cause the blank area to disappear;

step (4), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

detecting a re-click operation and carrying out an accumulative operation N=N+1 on the number of click operations detected, wherein an initial value of N is 1; and

,

step (5), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

comparing N to S, and when N=S, executing a corresponding quick access function module of the quick access function modules.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the accumulative operation is carried out when a click time interval T between the click operations detected is set to 0.01<

T≦

1 s.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the parameters of the input gestures include the number of clicks of the double or multiple consecutive click input gesture, click time interval thresholds and click pressure thresholds.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the quick access function modules include a short message service module, a phonebook module, a call log module, a network service module, a software/hardware setting module, a notepad module, an entertainment module and a dialing module.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the quick access function modules include a call log module oriented to a preset number, a network service module oriented to a preset website, a software/hardware setting module oriented to preset software/hardware, an entertainment oriented to the preset audio or video or game software, and a dialing module oriented to a preset number.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein when the touch control device is locked, the touch control device directly executes the corresponding quick access function module when N=S.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein when the touch control device is locked, the method further comprises prompting, by the touch control device, to unlock, before executing the corresponding quick access function module when N=S.

8. A method comprising the following steps of:

step (a), performed by a touch control device comprising a touch screen, and comprising;

establishing a one-by-one correspondence relation between an input gesture of the touch screen and a dialing module oriented to a preset number, the input gesture is a double or multiple consecutive click input gesture, setting a quick dialing click number of the double or multiple consecutive click input gesture to S;

step (b), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

saving a parameter of the input gesture;

step (c), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

regularly detecting input signals in a touch control area, recording the input signals after detecting a click operation, and comparing with the parameter, wherein the touch control area is a blank area of the touch screen;

when the touch control device is locked, unlocking the touch control device and entering a main interface does not cause the blank area to disappear;

(d). detecting a re-click operation;

step (e), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

carrying out an accumulative computation N=N+1 on a click number N of click operations detected, wherein an initial value of N is 1;

step (f), performed by the touch control device, and comprising;

comparing N to S and when N=S, directly dialing the preset number.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein when the touch control device is locked, the method further comprises prompting, by the touch control device, to unlock, before dials the preset number when N=S.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein when the touch control device is locked, the touch control device directly dials the preset number when N=S.

11. The method according to claim 8, wherein the accumulative computation is carried out when a click time interval T between the click operations detected is set to 0.01<

T≦

1 s.

12. The method according to claim 8, wherein S is greater than two.
