Abstract: A method for operating a touch-control lock system according to a gesture or a figure, comprising steps of: (a) sensing a designated gesture or figure while a user uses his finger touches a touch-control panel of the touch-control lock system and outputting an electronic signal according to the designated gesture or figure; (b) processing the electronic signal by a micro-control unit and judging whether or not the electronic signal is a valid input by the micro-control unit; (c) determining whether or not the designated gesture or figure is valid by the micro-control unit; (d) loading correct data for the designated gesture or figure stored in a touch-control instruction processing unit and comparing the correct data with the designated gesture so as to determine if the designated gesture or figure is valid; and (e) outputting a control command to an application apparatus to react correspondingly.
