Abstract: An exemplary method for quickly sending an email includes, firstly, generating operation signals in response to a shape drawn on a touch screen of an electronic device by a user. Next, the shape is identified, according to the received operation signals. Then one or more recipients' email addresses associated with the predefined shape are acquired when it is determined that the identified shape is similar to one of predefined shapes. Lastly, an email is sent to the acquired recipients' email addresses. An electronic device implementing the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method for importing an email onto an editing interface of an electronic device includes the following steps. Firstly, create a new notepad page comprising an editing interface when a notepad application is activated. Secondly, receive user input signals. Thirdly, determine whether a user input operation requires the import of an email onto the editing interface of the new notepad page and select an email stored in an email box in response to an email selection operation and further directly import the selected email onto the editing interface of the new notepad page for editing and personalization. And then delivery the edited document as an outbound email. A related electronic device is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing handwriting input includes a touch display unit, a touch display control unit, a storage unit, a calculating unit, and a processing unit. The touch display control unit determines a character in response to a character operation by an input device, and a height and a width of an imaginary rectangle sized to fittingly encircle the character. The calculating unit enlarges the height of the imaginary rectangle by adding a given value to the height of the imaginary rectangle if the height of the imaginary rectangle is smaller than a predetermined value. The processing unit resizes the character displayed within the enlarged imaginary rectangle by a first scaling factor. The touch display control unit controls the touch display unit to display the resized character in one of rows of a character display portion provided by the touch display unit. A related method is also described.

Abstract: A page zooming method for an electronic device having a touch screen and a storage unit is provided. The method includes the following steps: generating operation signals in response to a touch operation applied on a page displayed on the touch screen; determining the touch operation being a zooming gesture if the touch operation comprising a press operation and a slide operation at a same time; determining the slide direction and determining the type of the zooming gesture according to the determined slide direction of the slide operation, the type of the zooming gesture comprising a zooming in gesture and a zooming out gesture; creating a zoomed page of the page displayed on the touch screen according to the type of the zooming gesture; and displaying the zoomed page on the touch screen. An electronic device using the page zooming method is also provided.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a storage unit, a touch display unit and a central processing unit. The central processing unit includes a control module, a searching module, and a spit-screen module. The control module generates a first window on the touch display unit to display a text document when the text document is opened, and determines a selected text of the displayed text document by a user according to touch positions when the touch display unit is touched. The searching module searches occurrences of the selected text in the text document, and the control module stores the searched text in the storage unit. The spit-screen module displays each occurrence of the selected text on a second window produced thereby with a size thereof smaller than that of the first window. A related method is also provided.
