A method for generating multiple windows frames, an electronic device thereof, and a computer program product using the method are provided. In the present method, first, a touch trajectory generated by continuously touching a touch panel of the electronic device is detected, wherein the center of the touch panel is a display area, and a non-display area surrounds the display area. Then, whether the touch trajectory is started from one side of the non-display area and passed through the display area to be extended to another side of the non-display area is determined. If so, the display area is split according to the touch trajectory to display at least two windows frames. As a result, an intuitional and convenient method for generating multiple windows frames in the display area is provided, and the operation of the electronic device is made very convenient.

Method for generating multiple windows frames, electronic device thereof, and computer program product using the method

A mobile electronic device and a connection establishment method between the mobile electronic devices are provided. The connection establishment method includes the following steps. When a first mobile electronic device detects a control gesture applied to the first mobile electronic device, whether a second mobile electronic device is searched by the first mobile electronic device is determined, in which the second mobile electronic device detects the same control gesture applied to the second mobile electronic device. If the second mobile electronic device is searched by the first mobile electronic device, a first proximal wireless network connection between the first mobile electronic device and the second mobile electronic device is then established.

A graphical menu interface, an implementing method thereof, and an operating method thereof are provided. In the implementing method of the graphical menu interface, m function groups are provided first, and each of the function groups has at least one function. Then, an operating frame related to each function group is obtained and used as the menu icon representing a corresponding function group in the graphical menu interface. Finally, there are n function groups displayed on the screen, and the corresponding operating frames are used as the menu icons of these n function groups in the graphical menu interface. As a result, users can infer the position of each function in the graphical menu interface more intuitively, and thus the convenience in operating the graphical menu is improved.

Graphical menu interface, implementing method thereof, and operating method thereof

A method for displaying background wallpaper and one or more user interface elements on a display unit of an electrical apparatus at the same time is disclosed. In the method, a Region of Interest (ROI) on the background wallpaper is designated by analyzing the background wallpaper. The background wallpaper is displayed. The one or more user interface elements on an area of the displayed background wallpaper without covering the ROI are displayed. An electrical apparatus implementing the method and a computer program product for the method are also disclosed.

Method for displaying background wallpaper and one or more user interface elements on display unit of electrical apparatus at the same time, computer program product for the method and electrical apparatus implementing the method

A mobile device having a user interface supporting multiple windows is disclosed. The user interface is suitable for use in any device having a handheld form factor, such as a mobile phone or mobile Internet device. The user interface includes two windows that are displayed on the mobile device's screen. The mobile device may be configured to switch between a single window mode and a dual window mode. The device may also be configured to launch applications in either mode. It may be configured to switch between modes automatically or in response to a user command. The windows may also be re-oriented in response to a change in the device's orientation or to a user's command.

Mobile device interface with dual windows

Function selection system and method for use in an electronic device are provided. The system includes a display unit and a processing unit. The display unit has a display area, and displays a specific region within the display area. The processing unit selects one of a plurality of functions according to a position of the specific region in the display area. The specific region is removable, and used to display data generated by the selected function.

Function selection systems and methods

A method for enabling an auto-focus function, an electronic device thereof, a recording medium thereof, and a computer program product using the method are provided for the electronic device having a function of capturing images. In the present method, whether the electronic device is in a static state is first detected. If the electronic device is remained in the static state for a first time period, an auto-focus function is enabled and the electronic device is switched to the focusing mode. As a result, a user no longer needs to start the auto-focus function manually, and convenience and fluency of capturing images can be increased substantially.

Method for enabling auto-focus function, electronic device thereof, recording medium thereof, and computer program product using the method

Devices with multiple functions and methods for switching functions thereof are provided. The device comprises a plurality of hardware components, a plurality of functional modules, an input device, and a processing module. Each functional module corresponds to one of the functional connecting configurations for the hardware components. The processing module executes one of the functional modules and drives the hardware components according to the functional connecting configuration corresponding to the executed functional module. The processing module determines whether to generate a switch command according to an input command received by the input device. When the switch command is generated, the processing module directly terminates the functional module being currently executed and adjusts to execute another functional module, and drives the hardware components according to the functional connecting configuration corresponding to the functional module to be executed.
