US 2011/0237230 A1 · ACTIVATION OF APPLICATIONS BASED ON VIBRATION OF PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to activation of applications based on a vibration of a portable electronic device. A portable electronic device comprises: a vibration detecting unit configured to detect a vibration of the portable electronic device, acquire the vibration response profile of the vibration, and detect, based on the vibration response profile, a vibration of which the vibration response has an intensity and an effective width within respective predetermined ranges as an effective vibration event; and an application activating unit configured to be triggered in response to the effective vibration event being detected by the vibration detecting unit, so as to activate an associated application provided in the portable electronic device. According to the present disclosure, some special application functions of the portable electronic device can be conveniently enabled, and particularly, a call transfer setting/cancelling operation of a mobile phone can be conveniently carried out.

A portable electronic device, comprising:

a vibration detecting unit configured to detect a vibration of the portable electronic device, acquire the vibration response profile of the vibration, and detect, based on the vibration response profile, a vibration of which the vibration response has an intensity and an effective width within respective predetermined ranges as an effective vibration event, wherein the effective width indicates a duration for which the intensity of the vibration response profile is continuously above a predetermined threshold;
and
an application activating unit configured to be triggered in response to the effective vibration event being detected by the vibration detecting unit, so as to activate an associated application provided in the portable electronic device.

A method for setting a call transfer from a first mobile communication terminal to a second mobile communication terminal, comprising:

impacting the first mobile communication terminal and the second mobile communication terminal with each other in a predetermined way, so that each of them detects a predetermined effective vibration event, wherein the effective vibration event is a vibration of which the vibration response has an intensity and an effective width within respective predetermined ranges, and wherein the effective width is a duration for which the intensity of the vibration response is continuously above a predetermined threshold;
establishing a short-range wireless communication connection between the first mobile communication terminal and the second mobile communication terminal in response to detecting the predetermined effective vibration event;
receiving, by the first mobile communication terminal, a phone number of the second mobile communication terminal from the second mobile communication terminal via the established short-range wireless communication connection;
and
setting, by the first mobile communication terminal, a call towards the first mobile communication terminal to be transferred to the received phone number.
