Abstract: A method for navigating between display layers is applied in a display device. The display device includes a touch screen and a display panel. The method includes following steps of determining a target display layer according to whether a pinching gesture or an expanding gesture is performed. When the expanding gesture is performed, expanding a distance between relevant columns or rows of icons currently displayed to reveal icons on the target display layer, and visually compressing formerly-displayed icons to two opposite edges of the display panel during the expanding gesture. When the pinching gesture is performed, narrowing a distance between columns or rows of icons on the target display layer which are introduced respectively from the two opposite edges to cover columns and rows of old icons, and visually expanding the newly-introduced icons during the pinching gesture.

Abstract: A method for controlling display of a notification interface of an electronic device, the electronic device includes a touch screen to detect touch operations. When the touch screen detects a sliding operation sliding along a predetermined direction, at least a portion of the notification interface is displayed on the touch screen. During sliding of the sliding operation, a display area of the notification interface displayed on the touch screen is adjusted in real time according a change of a distance of a track of the first sliding operation. When the first sliding operation is terminated and the distance of the track is less than a predetermined distance, the notification interface includes a first portion which is displayed on the touch screen and a second portion which is not displayed on the touch screen.

Abstract: In a method for displaying information on a touch screen of an electronic device, instructions are received to preset a sliding operation performable on the touch screen. Instructions are received to preset an informational interface displayable on the touch screen when the preset sliding operation is performed. A first preset sliding operation performed on the touch screen by a user is detected; The preset informational interface is displayed on a portion of the touch screen when the first preset sliding operation is detected; A second preset sliding operation performed on the touch screen by a user is detected; and the preset informational interface is adjusted to display on the full touch screen.

Abstract: In a message processing method for a communication device the communication device displays an integration interface on the touch screen, and displays an addition box including an addition button on the integration interface when an integration button of the integration interface is triggered. When the addition button is triggered, a menu bar containing icons of applications is displayed on the integration interface. Any icon selected from the menu bar is added into the addition box. When a sending button of the integration interface is triggered, a previously input message in an information input box of the integration interface is sent to a selected contact using the application corresponding to the selected icon.

Abstract: A quick selection method executable on a touch screen communication device for quickly initiating communication includes designating a predetermined quick selection action and a quick selection region of the touch screen, choose one or more quick contacts from a list of previously entered contacts to initiate quick communication with, and performing the predetermined quick selection action on the predetermined quick selection region of the touch screen.

Abstract: A quick dialing method executable on a communication device includes detecting an action by a user on a touch screen of the communication device; dialing a selected quick contact when the detected action is a preselected triggering action.

Abstract: An emergency help method executable on a communication device having a display device, at least one processor, a navigation device, and a storage device includes detecting whether a predetermined emergency button is triggered, the navigation device is accessed to acquire a current position information of the communication device after the emergency button is triggered; the acquired current position information is integrated into a preset message template to generate a sendable emergency message, and then the sendable emergency message is send to one or more preselected emergency contacts.

Abstract: A packaging container includes a first portion, a second portion, and a bendable joint. The second portion is detachably engaged with the first portion. The bendable joint is connected between the first portion and the second portion. The second portion is foldable relative to the first portion to open and close the packing container. The first portion, the second contain, and the bendable joint are integrally formed by plastic materials.

Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic device displays an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, and detects unlocking touch operations of unlocking the electronic device on the unlocking interface. Virtual icons triggered in a sequence by each of the unlocking touch operations are confirmed, and a password corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations is recorded according to a preset identifier of each of the confirmed virtual icons. An unlocking password is generated according to the recorded code of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations. If the unlocking password matches a locking password prestored in a storage device, the electronic device is unlocked.

Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic device displays an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, and detects unlocking touch operations of unlocking the electronic device on the unlocking interface. A touch time duration corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations is determined, and a password corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations is recorded according to the confirmed touch time duration. An unlocking mode is confirmed according to the recorded password of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations. If the unlocking mode matches the locking mode prestored in a storage device, the electronic device is unlocked.

Abstract: A keypad assembly is used for an electronic device. The keypad assembly includes a support member, a plurality of key strips and a plurality of elastic members. The support member defines a plurality of receiving grooves each with an angled bottom surface. The key strips are received in the receiving grooves. The elastic members are received in the receiving grooves, and each elastic member abuts a corresponding key strip providing a biasing force to extend a portion of the key strips from the receiving groove.

Abstract: An input device for a multiplex control signal is applied to provide one or more input position(s) for a user, where each input position generates a plurality of control signals corresponding to a plurality of input states, and an output control unit determines the output of the control signals from each the same input position according a time parameter.

Abstract: An electronic device allowing changing of a display background thereof obtains a current location from a navigation device. An image associated with the current location is sought in a memory system, in response to a determination that the current location does not match a location associated with the current display background displayed on a display device. The current display background is replaced with the located image.

Abstract: A keypad assembly is used for an electronic device. The keypad assembly includes a support member, a plurality of key strips and a plurality of elastic members. The support member defines a plurality of openings and a plurality of cantilever plates, each cantilever plate extending into a corresponding opening. The key strips are received in the openings. Each key strip defines a first slot in which each cantilever plate is received. Each elastic member supports one of the key strips and provides a force extending one portion of the key strips out of its corresponding opening.
