MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND THE OPERATING METHOD}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a type of mobile communication device and an operation method, and more particularly, to a mobile communication device and an operation method of drawing a code on a touch panel to execute application software or to perform a communication operation.

Currently, mobile phones can be equipped with microprocessors with relatively high computing power and can run application software with many complex functions. For example, the microprocessor of a conventional mobile phone has a relatively low clock period and generally only handles basic call functions, such as receiving or sending a call and receiving or sending a message. With the advance of mobile computing technology, the functions that can be performed after the mobile phone is equipped with a relatively high clock cycle microprocessor are not limited to the above basic call function, and can be used for electronic alarm, multimedia film music broadcasting, camera and picture viewing. Advanced features such as network usage, network usage, and even satellite navigation can be performed via these mobile phones. However, these mobile phones are complicated and complicated by the internal functions. The user can go through a lot of time and procedures to find and activate the sub-functions he wants to use. For example, the phone book of the current mobile phone supports the function of classifying and storing, and the user sets the storage group according to the relationship with the contact person. However, when a user later attempts to send to the contact person, there may be a large number of setting groups or the group to which the contact person belongs may spend a lot of time searching for related data of the contact person.

For this reason, a shortcut key is currently used as a method for solving many of the above complicated operation procedures, and a "shortcut key" refers to a kind of operation method that executes a specific function by simultaneously pressing or sequentially pressing a series of mobile phone keys. There is a universal application of "shortcut keys" in current computer systems, for example "Ctrl + Alt + Del", i.e. a hotkey to reboot. The concept of the current shortcut key is applied to a part of the mobile phone, for example, a series of shortcut keys for locking a mobile phone with a call key and a specific numeric key, and the above-mentioned many complicated operation procedures achieve the purpose of simple operation by setting a shortcut key. do. However, not all mobile phones are designed with the concept of shortcut keys, for example, more and more mobile phones adopt the same structure as a personal digital assistant (PDA), whose input interface is represented by a virtual keypad of a touch screen and is a common entity. It is not a keypad. Because of this, simple design with shortcut keys consisting of one or several entity key combinations is difficult to implement and configure in such mobile phones. In addition, a simple operation of the mobile phone with a shortcut key may cause unnecessary operation mistakes in actual use. For example, inadvertently pressing a shortcut key to call another contact, or touch the shortcut key to activate the Bluetooth device It can accelerate the power consumption of mobile phones.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art mentioned above, by inputting a code through handwriting, and at the same time determining the operation command represented by the code, by controlling the application software corresponding to the operation command It is intended to provide the effect of achieving a simple operation procedure.

In addition, the microprocessor finds a corresponding contact person in the command data library according to the analysis result and makes a phone call or sends a message to the contact person. Similarly, when a corresponding contact and an ongoing call operation cannot be analyzed, a contact corresponding to a code and a representative call operation can be set.

In the method of operating the mobile communication device, if you want to execute the operation command of the corresponding code or to execute the application software includes the following procedure. First, a sign is drawn in the input window of the touch panel. Next, the command code corresponding to the code is determined by the image data library. Next, the corresponding operation command is retrieved from the command data library according to the command code. Finally, it is determined whether the sign matches the command code and the operation command, and if correct, execute the operation command; If not, set an operation command corresponding to the code or application software corresponding to the operation command. Here, the operation command or application software setting corresponding to the code includes the following procedure. Proceed with setting the code or inputting the code again; Select the corresponding application software from the list of application software; Generate an operation command list according to the selected application software; And the operation command to be associated with the code.

The method of the input code is not limited to the input to the touch panel 130. 1C is an explanatory diagram of another mobile communication system system according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1C, the touch panel may be scratched or even broken as the number of inputs increases, so in some embodiments, the touch panel 130 may be replaced with a screen 136 and a handwriting 134. The handwriting may be, for example, installed on the mobile communication device or connected to the mobile communication device in an external manner, and accepts an operation of handwriting a code input or a message; The operation interface (or user interface) of the mobile communication device may be represented by a screen 136 (eg, a liquid crystal screen), which does not have a touch input function and therefore is not easily scratched or broken during use. In addition, a flowchart of a method for operating a mobile communication device, which is the preferred embodiment seen in the following paragraphs, will be described.

2 is a flowchart of a method of operating a mobile communication device according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a method of operating a mobile communication device includes the following procedure. First, a sign is drawn in the input window of the touch panel (procedure S210), and the sign may be an English letter, a Chinese character, or a special figure. Next, the microprocessor reads the green code, compares the code with the image data stored in the image data library, and determines the command code corresponding to the code by the image data library (procedure S220). Each image data has one corresponding instruction code, for example, when data image A is drawn with an M-type code and the corresponding instruction code is 1000, if the microprocessor compares the data image A with the code read If the result matches, the image data library sends command code 1000 to the microprocessor. Next, the microprocessor retrieves the corresponding operation instruction from the instruction data library according to the instruction code (step S230), which operation instruction operates the application software, terminates the application software, or executes a specific function of the application software. Includes execution Finally, it is determined whether the code matches the command code and the operation command (procedure S240), and if correct, execute the operation command; If not, set an operation command corresponding to the code or application software corresponding to the operation command. The image data library stores only an image and a command code, and obtains a command code after comparison with a code. The command code may be an alphabet (both alphabet or word), a Chinese character, a Latin letter, or a number. The microprocessor retrieves the corresponding operation instruction from the instruction data library according to the instruction code. In other words, at the same time, the operation command is executed by completing the entire judgment procedure only when the operation command found in the corresponding image data and command data library found in the image data library is satisfied. When the operation command to be executed for the input code is not found, the mobile communication device sets a code for the operation command to be controlled and the application software to be controlled by the user through one operation interface.

The following procedure is included in setting an operation command corresponding to the code or application software corresponding to the operation command. First, the microprocessor selects and sets an input code read or inputs a code again; Next, selecting application software corresponding to the code from the application software list; Next, generate an operation command list according to the selected application software; Finally, the operation command to be selected corresponding to the sign is selected from the operation command list. In order to describe the present preferred embodiment exactly, it will be described in detail through the operation interface in the following paragraphs.

In the present embodiment, the English alphabet TK is input, where the microprocessor of the mobile communication device recognizes the English alphabet TK as one single code and searches for corresponding image data in the image data library. If so, the corresponding command code is obtained, and the corresponding operation command is retrieved from the command data library according to the command code. When no application software corresponding to the operation command or operation command corresponding to the code entered in the image data library or the command data library is made, the user interface as shown in FIG. 3C appears, and the user sets the original input code or sets the input window. Select to draw the sign again in 132. The application software list is listed on the left side of the user interface 310 to allow the user to set the application software corresponding to the code. After selecting the corresponding application software, the mobile communication device generates one operation command list, in which the user selects an operation command to execute in correspondence with the code. After the setting completion key is clicked, the linkage between the code and the operation software or application software corresponding to the instruction is stored in the memory. After establishing a linkage between the code and the operation command (or application software corresponding to the command), the user enters the code set previously to execute the corresponding operation command (or application software), for example, the user If it is configured to run chat software similar to a network chat room, the chat software (for example, as shown in Fig. 3D) is executed when the user enters TK by handwriting in an input window.

The mobile communication device of the present invention inputs at least one code by handwriting to call or transmit a message to a contact person corresponding to the code, simplifying the procedure of finding a contact person in the phone book and shortening the searching time. . For example, if the contact's name is Steven, it may be set to call Steven by drawing S in the input window 132.

Continuing with reference to FIG. 1A, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the mobile communication device is not described again as in the above-described preferred embodiment, and only the parts related to the communication operation will be described. An ongoing communication operation of the mobile communication device, for example, making a call or sending a message, is performed by the microprocessor 110 in the image data library 122 after the user inputs a sign by handwriting on the touch panel 130. The code is analyzed and a corresponding contact is found in the command data library 124 according to the analysis result to perform a communication operation. When the input code is not set to the corresponding contact and communication operation, the relationship between the code and the contact and communication operation is set through one user interface.
