 【detailed description】

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for operating a mobile terminal of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method for operating the mobile terminal includes the following steps.

In step S101, the mobile terminal receives an input event of the user. The input event can be a user touching the screen, a user's finger sliding on the screen, or pressing a button.

In step S102, it is determined whether the input event of the user is a startup event of the shortcut interface. In this step, whether the user's input event is a startup event of the shortcut interface can be determined by determining whether the user clicks the shortcut button that is displayed on the edge of the display screen. If the user clicks the shortcut interface startup button, the user's input event is the startup event of the shortcut interface. If the user does not click the shortcut interface startup button, the user's input event is not the startup event of the shortcut interface. Alternatively, it may be determined whether the user's input event is a startup event of the shortcut interface by determining whether the user touches the display screen with a predetermined number of fingers and slides in a predetermined direction. Of course, other input events can also be set as the startup events of the shortcut interface, which are not enumerated here. If it is determined that the input event of the user is the startup event of the shortcut interface, the process proceeds to step S104, and if it is determined that the input event of the user is not the startup event of the shortcut interface, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S103, the corresponding operation is performed according to the input event of the user, and after completion, the process returns to step S101.

In this step, the corresponding operation refers to an operation corresponding to an event other than the shortcut interface startup event, which may be sending a message, making a call, finding a contact, playing a game, entering a main menu, and opening a music player.

In step S104, a shortcut interface having a plurality of shortcut switches is drawn. Fast switches include, for example, 3G (3rd-generation, 3rd generation mobile communication technology) network switch, Bluetooth switch, music player switch, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks, Wireless LAN) Switch, GPS (Global Positioning) System, Global Positioning System) switch, volume switch or brightness switch.

In step S105, the control display screen displays the shortcut interface while retaining the current application interface. In a preferred embodiment, step S105 includes:

Controlling the display position of the current application interface on the display screen to be offset in a predetermined direction; controlling the shortcut interface to move into a blank area formed on the display screen due to the offset of the current application interface.

In other embodiments, step S105 may implement the display screen in other manners to display a shortcut interface while retaining the current application interface, such as a location that is not important, such as floating below or above the current application interface. At this point, the display screen displays the shortcut interface while retaining the current application interface, thereby allowing the current application interface to coexist with the shortcut interface, thereby enabling the user to display a shortcut interface with a shortcut switch without closing the current application interface.

In step S106, when the user further performs an operation, it is determined whether the user clicks a shortcut switch on the shortcut interface. If the user clicks the shortcut switch on the shortcut interface, the process proceeds to step S107. If the user does not click the shortcut switch on the shortcut interface, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S107, the system function corresponding to the shortcut switch is set, and after the setting is completed, the process returns to step S101.

In step S108, it is determined whether the user's input event is a shortcut interface cancel event. For example, it is determined whether the user clicks the shortcut interface startup button displayed on the edge of the display screen again, and if so, the user input event is a shortcut interface cancellation event, and if not, the user input event is not a shortcut interface cancellation event. Or, it is determined whether the user clicks on an area other than the shortcut interface of the display screen, and if so, the user's input event is a shortcut interface cancellation event. If the user's input event is a shortcut interface cancel event, the process proceeds to step S109. If the user's input event is not a shortcut interface cancel event, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S109, the display of the shortcut interface is canceled while the current application interface is retained, and the process returns to step S101.
