In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure to be understood more clearly, the present disclosure will be described in further details with the accompanying drawings and the following embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely examples to illustrate the disclosure, not to limit the present disclosure.
As shown in
Step 102: obtaining sliding track data generated by actions on a contact button in a contact list by a mobile terminal.
Taking the mobile terminal containing a touch screen as an example, the mobile terminal saves contact information, and the contact information contains the mobile contact number, fixed telephone number, name, and address of contacts. The contact list can be displayed in the address book, it is possible to access to the interface of contact details by means of clicking a certain contact in the contact list, and the information of the contact will be displayed in the interface of contact details.
The mobile terminal detects the triggering signal, which is generated by actions on a contact button in the contact list, wherein the triggering signal may be a signal triggered by the touching operation in the touch screen by a user's finger. In this embodiment, the mobile terminal detects the sliding signal generated by actions on the contact button in the contact list, so as to obtain the sliding track data, which include multiple coordinate data aligned at intervals in the sliding track. Such that, the sliding track data generated by actions on a contact button in the contact list which are detected by the mobile terminal are obtained.
Step 104: identifying the direction of sliding track according to the sliding track data by said mobile terminal.
The direction of sliding track can be identified through the coordinate data contained in the sliding track data, such as the direction of sliding to the left or the direction of sliding to the right, and so on.
Step 106: triggering a corresponding operating instruction according to the direction of sliding track by said mobile terminal, wherein, the operating instruction includes a dialing instruction for making a phone call to the contact and/or a short message instruction for sending a short message to the contact.
In this embodiment, the corresponding relationship between the direction of sliding track and the operating instruction can be pre-set, for instance, sliding to the left is set to correspond to the dialing instruction, and sliding to the right is set to correspond to the short message instruction.
In one embodiment, the step 106 includes the following steps: if the direction of sliding track is in the first direction, then triggering the dialing instruction for making a phone call to the contact corresponding to the first direction by said mobile terminal; if the direction of sliding track is in the second direction, then triggering the short message instruction for sending a short message to the contact corresponding to the second direction by said mobile terminal; wherein, the first direction is opposite to the second direction. In this embodiment, it is possible to distinguish the dialing instruction and the short message instruction through the direction of sliding track, if the dialing instruction is triggered, then dialing the contact number of the contact directly, and if the short message instruction is triggered, then accessing to the short message editing interface of the contact.
In this embodiment, different operating instructions with respect to the contact are triggered through directions of sliding track, whereby dialing a phone call or sending a short message can be triggered quickly, so as to achieve quick dialing a phone call or quick sending a short message. The method of the present disclosure can simplify operations as compared to the conventional method of multiple clicking operations, especially for the mobile terminal with a touch screen, the use of the method of the present disclosure will reduce the user's time in operating the mobile terminal, whereby the duration time of the mobile terminal is prolonged. Moreover, since the operating system of the mobile terminal with a touch screen can detect from the touch screen itself the sliding track data generated by actions on the contact button, by obtaining the sliding track data directly, the step of detecting the sliding track data can be omitted, and the processing efficiency is improved.
As shown in
Step 202: obtaining sliding track data generated by actions on a contact button in contact list by a mobile terminal.
In this embodiment, the sliding track data can be obtained directly, which are generated by actions on a contact button in the contact list and detected by the mobile terminal, and the sliding track data include multiple coordinate data aligned at intervals in the sliding track.
Step 204: obtaining the sliding distance according to the sliding track data by said mobile terminal.
Concretely, the sliding distance can be obtained according to the coordinate data contained in the sliding track data, and the sliding distance is the distance between the initial touch point and the terminal touch point.
Step 206, detecting if the interface is in the state which supports sliding operations by said mobile terminal, if it is, then turning to step 208, if not, then going to the end.
An operating interface for triggering a communication with a contact is shown in
Step 208: judging if the sliding distance reaches the threshold by said mobile terminal, if it does, then turning to the step 210, if not, then going to the end.
In this embodiment, the threshold can be set as one half of the horizontal width of the display screen, the interface supports sliding operations when the sliding distance reaches this threshold, otherwise, the interface does not support sliding operations.
Step 210: identifying the direction of sliding track according to the sliding track data by said mobile terminal.
As mentioned above, the direction of sliding track can be identified according to the coordinate data contained in the sliding track data, and different directions trigger different operating instructions.
Step 212: triggering corresponding operating instruction according to the direction of sliding track by said mobile terminal, wherein, the operating instruction includes a dialing instruction for making a phone call to the contact and/or a short message instruction for sending a short message to the contact.
As shown in
