Mobile Terminal Touch Screen Off Mode Key Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals in touch screen off mode experience significant delays when executing specific functions, leading to reduced convenience and efficiency for users due to the need to exit the security lock state before accessing desired functions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow a user to rapidly execute a desired function by registering a mode set with a one-touch input of a certain key in the touch screen off mode, canceling the security lock and entering the set mode directly, thereby bypassing the need for full power-up and navigation through the main menu.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile terminal maintains security lock in touch screen off mode, then security is improved, but execution speed of specific functions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and prepares specific functions in memory before the touch screen is activated. When a user inputs a specific key sequence, the pre-prepared function is immediately executed without requiring full system startup, thus maintaining security while enabling fast function execution.
Solution Approach 2:
A specific key sequence acts as an intermediary trigger that bridges the secure locked state and the desired function execution. This intermediary mechanism allows the system to remain secured while providing a direct path to execute specific functions without full navigation.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal exits security lock state to execute functions, then function accessibility is improved, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary preparation of function execution environments in the background during locked state. When triggered by specific key input, the function can be immediately accessed without requiring the user to wait for full system startup or navigation through multiple menus.
Solution Approach 2:
The system skips the traditional navigation process through main menus and directly jumps to the desired function execution. By recognizing specific key sequences, the system rushes through the intermediate steps that would normally be required, significantly reducing operation time while maintaining ease of access.
3Reliability
If the mobile terminal requires navigation through main menu, then system security is maintained, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A specific key sequence serves as an intermediary that allows users to bypass the main menu navigation while the system remains secured. This intermediary mechanism provides a direct shortcut that maintains security protocols while significantly improving user convenience for accessing specific functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system preliminarily prepares function execution paths and recognizes specific key sequences in advance. This preliminary preparation enables direct function access without requiring users to navigate through the main menu, thereby maintaining security while enhancing user convenience.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for controlling an operation of a mobile terminal are preferably includes: cancelling a touch screen off mode and checking a set mode mapped to a certain key when input of the certain key is sensed while the mobile terminal is in the touch screen off mode. A screen is then displayed for executing the set mode, and displaying and processing of a signal input through a touch screen is performed. The method and apparatus provide an advantage by reducing procedures required by conventional devices in which a user process to execute a desired mode in a mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is in a touch screen off mode. By registering a function to be executed by input of one touch button key while in a touch screen off mode according to user tastes, the present invention accelerates utilization of the mobile terminal.
