Mobile electronic device, controlling method thereof and non-transitory recording medium thereof

Abstract

A mobile electronic device, a controlling method and a non-transitory recording medium thereof are provided. In the method, an input signal is received through a touch screen of the mobile electronic device while the mobile electronic device is in a first state. Then, a movement track of the input signal is obtained if a starting point of the input signal is located in a status bar display area of the touch screen, and a displacement in a specific direction of the input signal is calculated. Finally, an information frame is dragged out and displayed, and the mobile electronic device is switched to a second state if the displacement in the specific direction reaches a predetermined value. Thereby, an intuitional way for showing information while the mobile electronic device is in the second state is provided, and accordingly, the convenience in operating the mobile electronic device is improved.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A controlling method for a mobile electronic device having a touch screen, wherein the touch screen comprises a status bar display area and an operation area, the method comprising:
 receiving an input signal through the touch screen when the mobile electronic device is in a first state;   determining whether a starting point of the input signal is located in the status bar display area;   obtaining a movement track of the input signal if the starting point is located in the status bar display area;   calculating a displacement in a specific direction of the input signal; and   switching the mobile electronic device to a second state when the displacement in the specific direction reaches a predetermined value.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of switching the mobile electronic device to the second state when the displacement in the specific direction reaches the predetermined value comprises:
 dragging an information frame from an edge of the touch screen closest to the starting point along the specific direction to display the information frame on the touch screen.   
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the information frame includes at least one type of information of a battery capacity, a signal strength, a date/time, a missed call, an unread e-mail, an unread short message, an unread voice mail, and a ring mode. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the information frame is a full screen frame completely covering the touch screen. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the specific direction is vertical direction or horizontal direction. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the status bar display area is fixed to an upper position of the touch screen, and information displayed in the status bar display area includes at least one or a combination of a battery capacity, a signal strength, a date/time, and a ring mode. 
     
     
         7 . A mobile electronic device, comprising:
 a touch screen, comprising a status bar display area and an operation area;   an input signal movement detecting module, coupled to the touch screen, for determining whether a starting point of an input signal received by the touch screen while the mobile electronic device is in a first state is located in the status bar display area, obtaining a movement track of the input signal if the starting point is located in the status bar display area, and calculating a displacement in a specific direction of the input signal; and   a processor module, coupled to the touch screen and the input signal movement detecting module, for switching the mobile electronic device to a second state when the displacement in the specific direction reaches a predetermined value.   
     
     
         8 . The mobile electronic device according to  claim 7 , wherein the processor module is used for dragging an information frame from an edge of the touch screen closest to the starting point along the specific direction to display the information frame on the touch screen. 
     
     
         9 . The mobile electronic device according to  claim 8 , wherein the information frame includes at least one type of information of a battery capacity, a signal strength, a date/time, a missed call, an unread e-mail, an unread short message, an unread voice mail, and a ring mode. 
     
     
         10 . The mobile electronic device according to  claim 8 , wherein the information frame is a full screen frame completely covering the touch screen. 
     
     
         11 . The mobile electronic device according to  claim 7 , wherein the specific direction is vertical direction or horizontal direction. 
     
     
         12 . The mobile electronic device according to  claim 7 , wherein the status bar display area is fixed to an upper position of the touch screen, and information displayed in the status bar display area comprises at least one of a battery capacity, a signal strength, a date/time, and a ring mode. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory recording medium, for recording a computer program, wherein the computer program comprises a plurality of program codes, and the computer program is loaded into a mobile electronic device to allow the mobile electronic device to execute a controlling method for the mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
 receiving an input signal through a touch screen of the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is in a first state, wherein the touch screen comprises a status bar display area and an operation area;   determining whether a starting point of the input signal is located in the status bar display area;   obtaining a movement track of the input signal if the starting point is located in the status bar display area;   calculating a displacement in a specific direction of the input signal; and   switching the mobile electronic device to a second state when the displacement in the specific direction reaches a predetermined value.
