Benefits of technology

This patent aims to improve the touch-screen functionality of mobile devices by allowing users to communicate their intention through a single drag-and-release operation. It helps prevent accidental or unintentioned selection, and allows users to withdraw from selections that may be made unintentionally, providing a more robust and intuitive experience for users. The method includes steps to set the device to a standby state, display activating regions on the screen, and timer the device to indicate the progress of the introduction state and confirmation time. Once the introduction state is expired, the device can enter an execution state to execute an application process or transmit a command to a remote server.

Problems solved by technology

As screens of mobile devices are usually small in size which result in smaller buttons or links in close proximity to each other, it might be difficult for a user to proceed with a transaction flow with his / her mobile phone in some situations.
For example, when the user is moving or being distracted, he / she may inadvertently or accidentally touch an icon or button on the screen to cause erroneous selection.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to facilitating intuitive and secured operation via an interactive interface. More specifically, the present invention relates to techniques of facilitating single touch-and-drag operation via mobile devices with touch-sensitive screens.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Mobile devices with touch-sensitive screens have been widely used for online transactions. As screens of mobile devices are usually small in size which result in smaller buttons or links in close proximity to each other, it might be difficult for a user to proceed with a transaction flow with his / her mobile phone in some situations. For example, when the user is moving or being distracted, he / she may inadvertently or accidentally touch an icon or button on the screen to cause erroneous selection. It is therefore desired to have a user interface that allows a user to communicate his / her intention and make selection on a touch-sensitive screen of a mobi...
