Abstract
An electronic device, an input method thereof, and a computer-readable medium using the method are provided, wherein the electronic device has a function key corresponding to a predetermined function. In the method, when a function key input is received, whether the function key input is inputted successively is determined according to a time interval between a reception time of the function key input and a reception time of a previous key input. The electronic device is prohibited from executing the predetermined function relevant to the function key if the function key input is inputted successively.
Claims17
An input method for an electronic device, wherein the electronic device has a function key corresponding to a predetermined function, the method comprising:
- receiving a function key input of the function key after a previous key input is received, wherein the previous key input is different from the function key input;
- recording a reception time of the function key input and a reception time of the previous key input;
- determining whether the function key input is inputted successively according to a time interval between the reception time of the function key input and the reception time of the previous key input;
- and
- prohibiting the electronic device from executing the predetermined function if the function key input is inputted successively.
An electronic device with a function key corresponding to a predetermined function, the electronic device comprising:
- an input module, configured to receive a function key input of the function key after a previous key input is received, and record a reception time of the function key input and a reception time of the previous key input, wherein the previous key input is different from the function key input;
- a determining module, coupled to the input module, wherein the determining module is configured to determine whether the function key input received by the input module is inputted successively according to a time interval between the reception time of the function key input and the reception time of the previous key input;
- and
- an executing module, coupled to the determining module, wherein the executing module is configured to prohibit the electronic device from executing the predetermined function if the determining module determines the function key input is inputted successively.
A computer-readable medium storing a computer program, which, when executed in an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform the operations of:
- receiving a function key input of a function key of the electronic device after a previous key input is received, wherein the function key corresponding to a predetermined function, and the previous key input is different from the function key input;
- recording a reception time of the function key input and a reception time of the previous key input;
- determining whether the function key input is inputted successively according to a time interval between the reception time of the function key input and the reception time of the previous key input;
- and
- prohibiting the electronic device from executing the predetermined function if the function key input is inputted successively.
