Abstract
A method for managing user interface of an electronic device includes detecting touch points on a back panel of the electronic device within a predetermined time interval when the electronic device is unlocked. When a first number of the detected touch points on a left part of a back panel is more than a second number of the detected touch points on a right part of the back panel, icons are displayed on a right part of a display device of the electronic device. When a first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is less than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, the icons are displayed on a left part of the display device.
Claims12
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display device;
- a back panel;
- at least one processor;
- and a storage device that stores one or more programs which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- detect touch points on the back panel within a predetermined time interval when the electronic device is unlocked;
- compare a first number of the detected touch points on a left part of the back panel with a second number of the detected touch points on a right part of the back panel;
- and change locations of one or more icons on the display device according to a result of the comparing of the first number with the second number;
- wherein the locations of one or more icons are changed by:
- when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is more than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a right part of the display device;
- or when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is less than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a left part of the display device.
A method for managing a user interface of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a display device and a back panel, the method comprising:
- detecting touch points on the back panel within a predetermined time interval when the electronic device is unlocked;
- comparing a first number of the detected touch points on a left part of the back panel with a second number of the detected touch points on a right part of the back panel;
- and changing locations of one or more icons on the display device according to a result of the comparing of the first number with the second number;
- wherein the locations of one or more icons are changed by:
- when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is more than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a right part of the display device;
- or when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is less than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a left part of the display device.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, causes the at least one processor to perform a method for managing a user interface of the electronic device, the electronic device comprising a display device and a back panel, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting touch points on the back panel within a predetermined time interval when the electronic device is unlocked;
- comparing a first number of the detected touch points on a left part of the back panel with a second number of the detected touch points on a right part of the back panel;
- and changing locations of one or more icons on the display device according to a result of the comparing of the first number with the second number;
- one or more icons are changed by:
- when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is more than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a right part of the display device;
- or when the first number of the detected touch points on the left part of the back panel is less than the second number of the detected touch points on the right part of the back panel, displaying the icons on a left part of the display device.
