Portable Terminal Button Timer Configuration via Touch Hold

The patent combines the timer function setting with the button operation itself. When a user touches a button, a timer icon is displayed on the button, allowing the user to set the timer duration directly on the button interface rather than navigating to a separate menu. This merging of the timing function into the button interaction eliminates multiple configuration steps while maintaining reliable timer functionality.

The patent implements a dynamic timer setting mechanism where the timer duration is determined by the duration of the user's touch on the button. As the user holds the touch, the timer icon updates to reflect the elapsed time, allowing continuous adjustment of the timer duration. This dynamic approach enables users to set any custom timing duration rather than being limited to predetermined options, while maintaining simple operation through direct touch interaction.

The patent provides dynamic control over execution timing through touch duration. When a user touches a button, the system immediately registers the touch but delays function execution until the specified timer duration elapses. The timer duration is dynamically determined by how long the user holds the touch. This allows the system to maintain quick response to user input while providing adaptable execution timing options, resolving the contradiction between instant execution and delayed execution capabilities.
