Abstract

A portable electronic device and a method for controlling same are provided. The portable electronic device comprises a touch screen, a storage device, a pointer generator, an icon generator, and a controller. The touch screen provides a waiting screen. The storage device stores a plurality of entry functions corresponding to items arranged in a hierarchical menu, wherein each of the entry functions operates to display a respective screen on the touch screen. The pointer generator generates a pointer directing to one of the entry functions regardless of the position in the hierarchical menu of the corresponding item. The icon generator generates a shortcut icon, associated with the pointer, on the waiting screen. The controller determines whether the shortcut icon is manipulated in a predetermined way, and if so, activates the entry function corresponding to the manipulated shortcut icon.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to portable electronic devices, in particular to a method for controlling a portable electronic device and a portable electronic device (System and method for controlling a portable electronic device). Background technique [0002] Typically, a mobile phone has call-related features as well as many additional features. In this mobile phone, these functions are arranged in a hierarchical menu for users to view and select. [0003] However, the hierarchical menu is displayed on multiple screens. In order to execute a function, the user must open the hierarchical menu layer by layer to execute the desired function. Its operating procedure is complicated due to complicated button operations. [0004] For example, an incoming call was not answered. In order to view the list of missed calls, it is necessary to go through several screens to enter the hierarchical menu layer by layer. Referring to FIG. 1 , a standby screen 11...
