  • Publication number: 20150113428
    Abstract: A widget setting method and a terminal device. The method includes presenting a widget setting interface on a display device based on first input, where the first input is used to select the widget setting interface, and the widget setting interface includes a widget setting region; and presenting a widget unit in a first setting sub-region based on second input, where the second input is used to select the widget unit and select the first setting sub-region that is used to present the widget unit and belongs to the widget setting region, and the widget unit is mapped to at least one application program. In the widget setting method and the terminal device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a shape, content, and a mapped application program of a home screen widget can be user-defined, which meets a requirement of a user.

  • Patent number: 8879705
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, a device, and a terminal for implementing incoming call protection. The method includes: determining, according to a frequency for operating a terminal by a user, whether a status of an incoming call protection mode is on or off; if the incoming call protection mode is on, when an incoming call signal arrives, delaying the incoming call signal; and if the incoming call protection mode is off, when an incoming call signal has been delayed and the incoming call signal still continues, releasing the incoming call signal, and when an incoming call signal has been delayed, but the incoming call signal becomes weak or has disappeared, prompting the user that there is a missed call. According to the present invention, a problem of unwittingly connecting or hanging up an incoming call by a user is effectively solved.

  • Publication number: 20140201662
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose a method and an apparatus for moving an interface object. The method may include: receiving an instruction for moving a first interface object on an interface from a first area to a second area; updating, according to the received instruction, a display position of the first interface object on the interface to the second area; obtaining a second interface object according to a preset rule; searching for, in an entire interface range on the interface except the second area, a display position for the second interface object; updating a display position of the second interface object according to the display position found through searching; and displaying all interface objects on the interface according to display positions of all the interface objects. Therefore, in the present invention, it is implemented that the first interface object moves to any position on the interface, which improves user experience.

  • Publication number: 20130283212
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for unlocking a touch screen mobile phone and the touch screen mobile phone. When locking a screen of the touch screen mobile phone, one or more application icons generated according to a preset policy are displayed on a lock screen interface. After one application icon is selected and used for unlocking, an application interface corresponding to the selected application icon is directly entered.

  • Patent number: 8180158
    Abstract: An image processing device capable of high-speed detection of a specific shape in an image. In the image processing device, a candidate position calculation section (106) obtains a first candidate position of the center point of a first circle in contact at three points with three sides contained in the shape of an object to be detected. An angle calculation section (106) obtains an angle formed by a normal line drawn from each of the three sides to the first candidate position and a standard line oriented in a specific direction and passing a point at which the normal line and each of the three sides cross. A relative relationship calculation section (106) obtains a relationship of the angle relative to the first candidate position. A recognition section (108) recognizes the shape contained in the given image based on the relative relationship of the angle and a relative relationship of a shape stored in advance.

  • Publication number: 20120093372
    Abstract: Provided are a distance measuring device and a distance measuring method which sufficiently suppress distance detection accuracy degradation caused by detection errors pertaining to a measurement subject, thereby making high-accuracy measurement of the distance to the measurement subject that is imaged. First to third region detection units (101 to 103) detect, from images taken of the measurement subject, those region images in a plurality of regions which are included in the measurement subject and whose sizes are known. A relative error comparison unit (104) uses not only those image sizes, D1 to D3, in a plurality of regions which are detected by the region detection units (101 to 103), but also information regarding sizes which are known in a plurality of regions, to select the region image size that minimizes relative errors d1/D1, d2/D2, and d3/D3, which are ratios pertaining to image sizes D1, D2, and D3, and to errors, d1, d2, and d3, included in the image sizes, respectively.
