Abstract
A method for displaying applications of a touch-controlled device includes the steps of: generating an electronic signal according a gesture applied on a touch panel of the touch-controlled device; generating a detection result according to the electronic signal, wherein the detection result includes a first position of the gesture corresponding to the touch panel; when the detection result indicates that the detected gesture is a multi-fingered grab gesture, starting an application container; and outputting a control signal to the touch panel according to the application container, in order to display the application container at the first position.
Claims13
A method for displaying applications of a touch-controlled device, comprising:
- generating an electronic signal according a gesture applied on a touch panel of the touch-controlled device;
- generating a detection result according to the electronic signal, wherein the detection result includes a first position of the gesture corresponding to the touch panel;
- when the detection result indicates that the detected gesture is a multi-fingered grab gesture, starting an application container;
- and
- outputting a control signal to the touch panel according to the application container, in order to display the application container at the first position;
- wherein the application container comprises an application menu, the application menu is updated in response to starting the application container, and a display portion of an updated application container is changed as the first position of the gesture changes.
A touch-controlled device, comprising:
- a touch panel, arranged for generating an electronic signal according a gesture applied on the touch panel, and for displaying an application container according to a control signal;
- a detecting unit, coupled to the touch panel, for generating a detection result according to the electronic signal, wherein the detection result includes a first position of the gesture corresponding to the touch panel;
- a determining unit, coupled to the detecting unit, for starting the application container when the detection result indicates that the detected gesture is a multi-fingered grab gesture;
- and
- a control unit, coupled to the determining unit and the touch panel, for outputting the control signal to the touch panel according to the application container, in order to display the application container at the first position;
- wherein the application container comprises an application menu, the application menu is updated in response to starting the application container, and a display portion of an updated application container is changed as the first position of the gesture changes.
