Abstract
The claimed group of technical solutions relates to the field of controlling electronic devices with the aid of a graphical user interface, in particular to a method and a system for activating an interface with the aid of a specified type of user input. The technical result of the claimed solution consists in providing the option of activating a graphical user interface with the aid of a user input path from two different corner areas of a display. The claimed method is implemented by creating a pattern of gesture activation of an application, comprising an input path using corner regions of a screen.
Claims8
A method for activating an application by a user on a screen of an electronic device, comprising:
- forming a pattern of a gestural activation of an application on the device screen, wherein said pattern contains a gesture path that contains at least two contact areas on the screen, each of said areas is located in different corner areas of the screen;
- saving in the device memory an information about said pattern;
- defining a first area of contact on the screen of the device, wherein said first area of contact contains at least one area located near a corner of the screen;
- determining a contact of the user with said first area of contact on the screen of the device;
- determining an interaction of the user with the screen of the device, wherein said interaction is a movement from said first area of contact to a second area of contact, without an interruption of the user contact with the screen of the device during said movement, and wherein the second area of contact contains at least one area located near a corner of the screen, different from the first mentioned corner of the screen;
- obtaining an information about the trajectory of said interaction of the user with the screen during movement from the first area of contact to the second area of contact;
- comparing said information about the trajectory of the user interaction with said saved information about the pattern;
- activating the application for the user when the information about the trajectory of the user interaction coincides with the saved information about the pattern.
