Abstract

A single-key input method that allows users to use only one key to perform menu selection on electronic devices / electric appliances. This application provides a single-key input method that simplifies function keys for electronic devices / electric appliances so that users can use only one key to perform menu selection. This method mainly employs the duration the key is pressed on as criteria; generally speaking-it includes a short-period mode and a median-period mode plus the operation status of device to do the required function selection. The program predefined in the memory of the electronic devices has tree menu that comprises of one status and two paths: a short-period one and a median-period one. In application, users use different key pressing duration to input short period or median period and thus perform menu selection. This method can be further developed to have tree menu that also comprises of a long-period path. When the key is pressed as long-period mode, a compulsory skip menu function is available to skip backward / forward the menu.
