These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this document, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when" or "while" or "in response to determining".

Similarly, depending on the context, the phrase "if determined" or "if detecting (stated condition or event)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to determining" or "when detecting (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)".

[0121] It should be noted that in this document, step codes such as S1 and S2 are used. The purpose is to more clearly and briefly express the corresponding content, and it does not constitute a substantial limitation in terms of sequence.

[0122] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.

[0123] In subsequent descriptions, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to represent elements are only for the convenience of explaining this application, and they have no specific meaning in themselves. Therefore, "module", "component", or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the touch position of the user and detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into contact coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110.

After the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation thereon or nearby, it transmits the operation to the processor 110 to determine the type of the touch event. Subsequently, the processor 110 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of the touch event. Although in Figure 1 the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are implemented as two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 may be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, and specific details are not limited herein.

By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby monitoring the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 can include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 can integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, etc., and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It can be understood that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0140] The mobile terminal 100 can also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for powering each component.
