  • Patent number: 9141286
    Abstract: In a method for displaying an input interface on a touch panel of an electronic device, a first display area and a second display area are determined on the touch panel according to touch ranges of touch operations on the touch panel. The method obtains a first sub-keyboard and a second sub-keyboard of the input interface, displays the first sub-keyboard in the first display area by performing a zoom operation on the first sub-keyboard, and displays the second sub-keyboard in the second display area by performing the zoom operation on the second sub-keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20150089210
    Abstract: In a low battery boot-up method executed in an electronic device, boot configurations of the electronic device for low battery boot-up are set and stored in a storage device. When a user command to turn on the electronic device is received after the electronic device has shut down automatically due to low battery, the boot configurations are read from the storage device. The electronic device is controlled to boot-up according to the boot configurations and enter a low battery power-on state.

  • Patent number: 8902041
    Abstract: In a method for unlocking an electronic device, unlocking operation having motion units are preset and are stored into a storage system. Sampled unlocking operation is stored into the storage system. When the electronic device receives a preset unlocking command to start unlocking the electronic device, three-axis acceleration values and three-axis rotation vectors are obtained continuously as an input operation from a first sensor and a second sensor. Motion units of the input operation are recorded. Sampled input operation is obtained by sampling the input operation at a preset time interval. A membership degree of the input operation is calculated. When the membership degree of the input operation conforms to a preset unlocking threshold, the electronic device is unlocked.

  • Publication number: 20140211597
    Abstract: An electronic device which includes an alarm clock function includes a gravity sensor. The gravity sensor detects X acceleration values of an X-axis, Y acceleration values of a Y-axis, and Z acceleration values of a Z-axis in relation to the electronic device. The electronic device determines a first average acceleration value of X acceleration values, a second average acceleration value of Y acceleration values, and a third average acceleration value of Y acceleration values. When a current time of the electronic device matches an alarm time of an alarm clock, the electronic device detects whether a user of the electronic device is awakened by determining whether the first average acceleration value, or the second average acceleration value, or the third average acceleration value is greater than a predetermined value . If the user is not awakened, the electronic device activates the alarm clock again to awaken the user.

  • Publication number: 20130318451
    Abstract: In a method for sharing a mouse, the cursor of the mouse is concealed when the cursor of the mouse is moved to the left side of the user interface of the computing device. Control coordinates of the cursor of the mouse of the computing device are transmitted to a connected electronic device. The control coordinates of the cursor of the mouse are transformed into a functioning cursor display on a touch screen of the electronic device according to the display position.

  • Publication number: 20110154262
    Abstract: A device in conjunction with a correlation matrix anticipates combinations of applications of the device switching from one to another on a display of the device. The device utilizes an anticipation system to determine which application is active, generate a switch anticipation list from the correlation matrix according to the active application, create a selection menu from the switch anticipation list, and send the selection menu to the display. The device updates the correlation matrix with a predetermined correlation function.
