Abstract
Disclosed are a key function control method and a terminal. The method comprises: monitoring an operation on a first key of a terminal, wherein the operation on the first key at least can trigger a primary function and a secondary function, and the primary function refers to a preset logical function corresponding to the operation on the first key; determining whether the operation on the first key can trigger execution of the primary function according to output of a user interface of the terminal; and if not, controlling to execute the secondary function. Also disclosed is a corresponding terminal.
Claims21
A key function control method, comprising:
- monitoring an operation on a first key of a terminal, wherein the operation on the first key at least can trigger a primary function and a secondary function, and the primary function refers to a preset logical function corresponding to the operation on the first key;
- determining whether the operation on the first key can trigger execution of the primary function according to output of a user interface of the terminal;
- and
- controllably executing the secondary function if it is determined that the operation on the first key cannot trigger the execution of the primary function.
11-20. (canceled)
A terminal, comprising:
- a memory storing a set of program codes;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the program codes to:
- monitor an operation on a first key of a terminal, wherein the operation on the first key at least can trigger a primary function and a secondary function, and the primary function refers to a preset logical function corresponding to the operation on the first key;
- determine whether the operation on the first key can trigger execution of the primary function according to output of a user interface of the terminal;
- and
- controllably execute the secondary function if it is determined that the operation on the first key cannot trigger the execution of the primary function.
The terminal according to claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program codes to controllably execute the menu function if it is determined that the current user interface is a starting interface or an unlocking interface.
The terminal according to claim 19, wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program codes to change the backlight of the first key or output the tip in the user interface.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
