Abstract: The invention provides a method and associated processor for improving software execution of an electronic device. The method may comprise: by a processor of the electronic device, identifying whether a target program is classified, according to whether the target program relates to an user interface of the electronic device, as one of suppressible programs; and, based on whether at least one suppression condition is satisfied, performing at least one suppressing operation on one or more of the suppressible programs.

Abstract: An input method includes following steps: recording a single-stroke input, converting the recorded single-stroke input into a vector combination defined by one or more pre-defined vectors, and performing user input recognition according to the vector combination. The vector based recognition scheme using certain distinguishable vectors may offer a higher recognition rate and/or a lower misjudgment rate. Moreover, since one user input may be immediately recognized at the end of one single-stroke input, the response time can be reduced to enhance the user experience.
