Description
APPLICATION OPENING METHOD FOR A MOBILE DEVICE
TECHNICAL FIELD:
The present invention belongs to the field of the operating system and method of a
mobile device, and particular, the present invention relates to operating method for a
mobile device based on gesture, voice, slide, icon auto display, and corresponding
interface modes thereof.
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, Apple released iPhone and iOS, creating a static icon operate age of mobile
operating systems.
First of all, whether iOS, or Google’s Android, or other present mobile operating
systems, these kinds of static icon operating methods, all follow from Steve Jobs, and
present no revolutionary change. In these kinds of static icon operating method: one
needs to slide the desktop page by page, or to open folder by folder, searching an icon
and application name, then clicking on an icon to open an application, thus the
operating efficiency is very low. And the low efficiency also affects battery time.
Secondly, the most difficult challenge currently of mobile devices is battery time. The
iOS and Android’s application multi-tasking method is one important reason of that the
battery time of mobile devices cannot be longer.
Finally, traditional static icons limit the display and expression on the small screens of
mobile devices. Traditional static icons cannot provide more intuitive, more interesting,
and more beautiful Human-Machine Interface.
Additionally, traditional desktop operating systems, such as Apple’s OS X and
Microsoft’s Windows, only have two open application methods. One method is to use
a screen cursor control device (such as a Mouse, Touchpad, etc), to click or
double-click the application's icon; the other method is to click or double-click the
application's name in the menu.
Mobile operating systems such as iOS, Android, and so on, normally only have two
open application methods. One method is to use finger touch or pen click the
touchscreen of mobile devices, to click the application’s icon to open the application;
another method is to click the application’s notification message to open the
application.
Whether in mobile operating systems such as iOS and Android, or in desktop
operating systems such as OS X and Windows, an application icon’s position on the
desktop or the menu, is fixed. A user can move, configure and change the application
icon’s position, but after user configuration, the position is still stationary. Before the
present invention, all operating systems involved static icon technology. The present
invention provides smart dynamic icon technology. An application icon’s position on
the desktop or the menu changes in real-time, intelligently and automatically appears
when a user needs to use the application, and intelligently and automatically
disappears when a user does not need the application. This technology saves screen
space, especially on mobile devices, which configures small screen. The present
invention allows operating systems to enter the “Smart Dynamic Icon Age”, from
“Static Icon Age”.
Whether in mobile operating systems, such as iOS and Android, or in desktop
operating systems such as OS X and Windows, to open application, one only clicks or
double-clicks the application's icon or the application's name.
The present invention can open an application, through detecting device movement in
the three-dimensional space. The present invention allows the operating systems to
enter the “Smart Gesture Age”, from the “Icon Age”.
A mobile operating system, such as iOS and Android, provides voice command
features to open an application, but Siri and Google Now must be connected to a
network, and error rate is high.
The present invention can use voice command to open an application without being
connected to a network, and the accuracy rate is very high.
The “Smart Gesture” and the “Quick Voice Assistant” of the present invention, allows
operating systems to enter the “Post Icon Age”.

entered in the Application Interface 40 which has a fixed status bar 41.
Google’s Android operating system's graphical user interface comprises a Lock
Screen Interface, a Home Screen Interface, an Application Interface, a Notification
Center Interface, a Control Center Interface.
Android ’s Home Screen Interface 30, as shown in Figure 3. Home Screen Interface
has five sections. There is a fixed status bar 31 on the top of Home Screen 30.
Android ’s desktop is divided into two halves. Upper half desktop 33 usually shows the
date, time, weather and other real-time information. There is a Google search bar 32,
in the Upper half desktop 33. A user can slide left or right on Upper half desktop 33,

mobile phones do not have a bottom Menu Bar 36. In 38 or 39, the Android system
has a desktop icon, clicking the desktop icon will show a screen interface like iOS’s
Home Screen Interface.
Android’s Application Interface 40 is similar to iOS, all have a fixed status bar 41.
In Android, the basic operation steps of opening an application are similar to iOS. In
many places, in order to circumvent the patents of iOS, there are some little difference
between interface setting and operation settings. These operations are more
complicated and not as intuitive as iOS. There are more operation steps of opening an
application, than in iOS.
The present invention operating system’s graphical user interface comprises a “Home
Screen Interface”, a “Global Application Icons Interface”, a “Full Screen Application
Interface”, a “File Browser Interface”, and a “Multi-Task Interface”.
The present invention operating system’s Home Screen 60, as shown in Figure 8.
Home Screen Interface 60 has three sections. There is a status bar 61, on the top of
Home Screen 60. There is a Dock bar 63, on the bottom of Home Screen 60. Dock
bar 63 has several of the most common of application icons 65. There is a desktop 62,
in the middle of Home Screen 60. The operating system’s desktop 62 of the present
invention has two major differences with the iOS and Android’s desktop. The first
difference is that the present invention operating system’s desktop 62 does not
display any application icon in default; or only display application icon which a user
can customize in a stable manner on desktop 62. The second difference is that the
present invention operating system’s desktop 62, only has one desktop page; iOS’s
desktop 22 and Android’s desktop 33&34, all have plurality desktop pages. There is a
Real-time information display area 64, on the desktop 62, display date, time, weather,
etc.
In the mobile electronic device, since the screen of the mobile device is usually
relatively small, using screen space more efficiently is one of the main performance
advantages of the mobile operating system. In iOS and Android’s desktop, an
application icon’s position is fixed. Although a user can drag and move an application
icon to another desktop, another position or folder, but after the user configures the
icon, the position is still fixed. Whether users need to use the application or not, the
application icon is always displayed on there. Not only is this a waste of valuable
screen space, but also greatly affects the appearance of the home screen. If
application icons become more numerous, the home screen will look crowded, messy,
cramped, and the entire screen looks much smaller on visual effects. When a user
needs to use an application, other application icons that do not need to be used
seriously interfere with the users eyes, increasing the time of users to find and open
the needed application's icon.
The present invention operating system has a “Smart Dynamic Icon” function. The
system detects applications of different statuses and if an application status fits the
system and user settings, this application’s icon is automatically displayed on Home
Screen; if an application status does not fit the system and user setting, this
application’s icon is automatically removed from Home Screen (except the application
icon is on the Dock Bar) .
The “Smart Dynamic Icon” function is achieved through the “Application Management
Unit”. The “Application Management Unit” comprises an “Application Status Detection
Unit”, an “Application Icon Management Unit”, an “Application Opening Unit”, and an
“Application Install and Delete Unit”.
The “Application Status Detection Unit” detects in real time all application statuses.
The application status comprises ‘running’ and ‘shutdown’; The ‘running’ status
includes a foreground process ( wherein the user can see program running interface),
and a background process ( wherein the user cannot see the program running
interface). The application status comprises an “Update Status” and a “Non-Update
Status”. The “Update Status” includes but is not limited to: version updates, content
updates, message updates, notification updates, reminder updates, task updates,
event updates. The “Update Status” can also be called a “Trigger Status” or an “Active
Status”. The “Non-Update Status” can also be called a “Non-Trigger Status” or a
“Non-Active Status”. The ‘task updates’ means a user instruction-carry-out situation,
such as ‘user music finished playing’, ‘user file download finished’ or ‘video download
finished’.
The “Application Icon Management Unit” manages all application icons, manages
which application icons are displayed or not displayed, on which desktop they are
displayed, the display position on the desktop, the display size, the display time, the
display form, and the display sound. The “Application Opening Unit” is in charge of
opening and running applications. The “Application Install and Delete Unit” is in
charge of installing and uninstalling applications.
In default, the present invention operating system’s Home Screen 60, does not display
any application icon.
When the “Application Status Detection Unit” detects that an application status is
“Update Status”, the “Application Icon Management Unit” automatically displays this
application’s icon on the desktop 62 of the home screen 60. When a user click on this
application’s icon, the “Application Opening Unit” opens and runs this application, thus
this application’s update content is employed by the user, and then this application
status becomes “Non-Update Status”. After this application’s status changes from
“Update Status” to “Non-Update Status”, the “Application Icon Management Unit”
automatically removes this application icon from desktop 62 of the home screen 60.
When the “Application Icon Management Unit” automatically displays an application
icon on the desktop 62 of the home screen 60, the user can choose to temporarily
ignore it. After the user executes ignore instructions, the “Application Icon
Management Unit” automatically removes this application icon from the desktop 62 of
the home screen 60.
The user’s ignore instructions can be: sliding left or sliding right from the “Update
Status” application icon, as shown in Figure 10. The user’s ignore instructions can
also be: clicking on the home button.
When the “Application Icon Management Unit” auto displays an application icon on
the desktop 62 of the home screen 60, except for click the icon to open this
application; a user can also slide downward or slide upward from the “Update Status”
application icon, and directly read the update content, such as new notifications, new
messages, and so on. After a user slides downward or slides upward and reads the
update content, this application’s status changes from “Update Status” to
“Non-Update Status”, then the “Application Icon Management Unit” automatically
removes this application icon from desktop 62 of the home screen 60.
Or, when the “Application Status Detection Unit” detects an application status is
“Update Status”, the present invention operating system directly automatically
displays the application’s update content on the desktop 62 of the home screen 60.
The automatically displayed application update content automatically disappears after
a setting time, or disappears after a user clicks and reads; or disappears when a
slides left or slides right from the update content; or remains on the desktop until the
contents’ corresponding task is completed.
This actually make the system Notification Center display and operate in the middle of
the desktop; providing more ergonomic finger operation for the user, much smaller
finger moving distance and range of movement, and more comfortable finger
operation, which is also more efficient and which saves power. iOS and Android’s
Notification Center, need users to use their fingers to slide from the top of the screen,
a user’s finger moving operation is very uncomfortable, the moving distance is much
farther, thus providing low efficiency, taking more operate time, and that means a
waste battery time. iOS and Android’s Notification Center also causes easy operation
mistakes with slide updating the application’s content.
All “Application Status Detection Unit” detects “Non-Update Status” applications, their
icons are not displayed on the home screen. All “Non-Update Status” application icons,
are displayed on the “Global Application Icons Interface” 80, as shown in Figure 40.
The design principle of the present invention operating system is to think of what the
user wants, to do as the user wishes. When a user wants use or needs to use an
application, this application’s icon immediately appears in front of user. Even when a
user wants to use or needs to use an application, the system intelligently and
automatically opens this application, there is no need to click on an icon to open an
application. When user does not need an application, this application’s icon
automatically does not display on the home screen, is automatically removed from the
home screen, is automatically hidden, automatically disappears. When a user needs
an application, it immediately appears; when a user does not needs an icon, it
immediately disappears, so the user is not to be disturbed. Come as you hope, and
gone as you wish, the present invention operating system follows your mind, and acts
your wish.
Home screens have no application icon, or only have a few “Update Status”
application icons, thus are more cleaner, more beautiful, more magnificent. Home
screens seem glorious, tidy, spacious. The entire screen looks bigger than the screen
size of iOS and Android, because there are not so many icons that cover it, home
screens do have more space for a user. Many users like to use a photo of themselves,
or a family photo, or a favorite photo, as a desktop background photo, if no icons
cover these photos, they looks more beautiful.
When all applications status are “Non-Update Status”, home screen 60 shown in
Figure 8, has a desktop 62 without any application icon existing. When some
applications statuses are “Update Status”, home screen 60 shown in Figure 9, has a
desktop 62 with a few “Update Status” application that appear. The desktop 62 will
display as many icons as there are “Update Status” applications. If there is one
“Update Status” application, one icon will be displayed; if there are three “Update
Status” applications, three icons will be displayed. Figure 9 shows a sample of two
displayed “Update Status” application icons.
The above-mentioned “Smart Dynamic Icon”, applies to all applications icons, except
the application icon on Dock Bar. The application's icon in the Dock Bar, is fixed, no
matter if it is “Update Status” or not.
If an application’s status is “Update Status”, the system default setting is for its icon to
be displayed on the home screen. The user can independently customize each
application, when its status is “Update Status”, to display or not display its icon on the
home screen. This avoids some malicious applications, in order to improve user
usage, when a lot of updating status are deliberately designed and continue
appearing on home screen, harassing the user.
The user can also customize each application’s each kind of update status, setting
different dynamic icon policies for different kinds of update statuses. For example, an
application has four kinds of update statuses: A, B, C, and D. The user can customize
only for the A kind and B kind update statuses, for this application icon to automatically
be displayed on home screen; for the C kind and D kind update statuses, this
application icon is not displayed on home screen. The user can also customize for
each kind of update status, different update content sources, different update content
targets, to display or not display its icon on the home screen. For example, if a ‘Mail’
application inbox has a new email, its icon is displayed on the home screen; if a ‘Mail’
application junk box has a new email, its icon is not displayed on the home screen; if a
‘Mail’ application has a new email from a customized sender, its icon is displayed on
the home screen; if it is not from a customized sender, its icon is not displayed on the
home screen; if a ‘Mail’ application has a new email to a customized addressee, its
icon is displayed on the home screen, otherwise it is not displayed.
Some social networking applications, because there are many Update Statuses, need
classification set the trigger status. Such as Facebook®, Twitter®, iMessage®,
Skype®, WhatsApp®, Google Voice®, Snapchat®, Line®, Weibo®, Wechat® and so
on. The user can set for only specific contacts’ new messages or friends’ status
updates, to automatically display the application’s icon on the home screen. Other
contact’ new messages or friends status update, do not display this social
application’s icon on the home screen.
The user can also customize each application, no matter whether its status is “Update
Status” or “Non-Update Status”, the application’s icon can always be displayed on the
home screen.
The present invention operating system comprises an “important contacts application”
67. The “important contacts application” integrates all information of a user’s one or
several most important contacts at one place. The head portrait of the user’s important
contacts is the icon of the “important contacts application”. As show in Figure 11, the
icon of the “important contacts application” 67, can automatically be displayed on
Home Screen 60; the system default can or a user’s customized contact can also
always be fixedly displayed on the Home Screen 60.
A sample application of the “Important contacts application” 67 is shown in Figure 12.
Clicking on the icon of the “important contacts application” 67, opens all sub-options
69 related to this important contacts, these sub-options 69 are put in a sub-option box
68. Sub-options 69 can also be called a sub-menus, sub-option box 68 can also be
called sub-menu box. Of course, the sub-option box 68 is not necessary, there can
also only be a sub-options 69 without a sub-option box 68.
These sub-options, are other applications, such as ‘Phone’, ‘Message’, ‘FaceTime’,
‘Mail’, ‘Facebook’, ‘Twitter’, ‘Weibo’, ‘Wechat’, and so on. The number of sub-options
69 is arbitrary, the three shown in Figure 12 is only a sample. The user clicks on the
important contact’s head portrait, then chooses to make a telephone call, or video call,
or FaceTime, or send email, without inputting a phone number, or finding these
contacts in the contacts address book. It is very convenient, when e-mailing it is no
longer needed to enter the contact's email; When using a variety of other social
networking applications, it also not needed to find the contacts in those applications.
The “important contacts application” 67, can be combined with the background photo
of desktop 62. That is, the person of the desktop photo, is the important contacts. For
example, a user sets someone’s picture as the background photo of desktop 62; the
user sets the background picture to correspond to a person in the contacts address
book. If the background picture contains one person it corresponds to one person in
the contacts address book; if the background picture contains several people, it
corresponds to several people in contacts address book. The system can also
automatically associate the people in background picture to the people in contacts
address book through a Face Recognition function. When there is incoming calls,
messages or emails of an important contact that was set to background picture, a
special floating icon will automatically appear on desktop 62. The special floating icon
can be similar to icon 69 in Figure 12. In order to distinguish it from normal application
icons, the floating icon can be of a different style, a different form, a different size, a
different color, to remind the user that it is from a background photo contact. Users
can also set the important contacts’ personal update status on social networking sites,
to be automatically displayed in real-time on the background photo of desktop 62.
When the background picture contains only one person, the user direct use of one or
more fingers to click (or double-click, or long press, or perform other system setting
operations) on the background picture; tunes out the “important contacts application”
sub-options 69. Or a user direct slides a special path on the background picture, to
directly open special features related to the person in picture. For example, sliding up
on the background picture, as shown in Figure 18, directly calls the person in the
picture. For example, sliding from lower right to upper left on the background picture,
as shown in Figure 21, directly sends messages to the person in the picture. For
example, sliding from lower left to upper right on the background picture, as shown in
Figure 20, directly FaceTime videos with the person in the picture.
When the background picture contains several people, such as a family photo, the
user can click a family member’s head portrait in the background picture to open the
family member’s sub-options 69. Or the user directly slides along a special path from
a family member’s head portrait to directly open special features related to the family
member.
The “important contacts application” allows a user quick contact with the most
frequently used contacts, to reduce the time of the user to respectively find and open
different applications. When the icon of “important contacts application” is also the
background picture of the desktop, the user interface is more beautiful, the user
experience is more natural and attractive, it is more convenient and efficient.
Users can also set up a dynamic background photo for automatic switching between
several different background pictures, the user can setup the switching time.
Figure 13 is an example of a home screen 60 of the present invention operating
system’s graphical user interface.
In this example, there is a status bar 61 on the top of the home screen 60. In the
status bar 61, there is contained a communication signal indication button 61a, Flight
Status indication button 61b, WiFi Status indication button 61c, Anti-interference
indication button 61d, Bluetooth status indication button 61e, Battery status indication
button 61f, and so on. Figure 13 is only an example; status bar 61 can contain other
various system statuses, such as mobile phone muted indication button, phone
volume indication button, phone shake status indication button, and so on.
Here is a major different between the present invention operating system’s status bar
61, and iOS’s status bar 21 or Android’s status bar 31. The items in iOS’s status bar
21 and Android’s status bar 31 are only displayed and cannot change the setting. The
items in the present invention operating system’s status bar 61 can directly change
the setting. For example, as shown in Figure 13, a user can click or long press an
indication button to directly setup this indication function, such as clicking or long
pressing the Flight Status indication button 61b provides for setting up the Flight
Status; for example, clicking 61b, directly open the flight status, and clicking again,
closes the flight status.
In status bar 61, different colors means each item of indication status is ‘On
Status’(open status) or ‘Off Status’(close status). Such as a gray color means closed
status, other colors mean open status. For example, in Figure 13, a user can click or
long press the WiFi Status indication button 61c for direct setup of the WiFi. Such as
clicking 61c, opens or closes WiFi; or the user chooses to connect the WiFi name in
an opened submenu.
Different color and different flashings of a signal indication icon on the status bar 61,
illustrate the strength of the communication signal. For example, a signal indication
such as a communication signal indication, a WiFi signal indication, a Bluetooth signal
indication etc; use different colors and different flashings to illustrate the strength of
the communication signal.
The communication signal indication button 61a, it can be shown in Figure 13, can
also be the traditional little vertical bars from low to high, or direct displaying of the
name of telecommunication companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, etc. Communication
signal indication 61a, uses a green or blue display to illustrate that the signal is strong;
a yellow or a yellow flashing display to illustrate that the signal is ordinary; a red or a
red flashing display to illustrate that the signal is weak, reminding users that it is better
to not make a call; reminding the user to change a location or place, to make a call
when the signal is strong. It is very important for user’s health, because when the
signal is weak, the radiation will be relatively large. Especially when the signal is weak,
a user’s received calls are easily dropped. With red or red flashing reminder, the user
will take the initiative to avoid the call, when the signal is weak; this greatly reduces
the possibility of the disconnected phone calls issue, reduces the possibility of
consumer dissatisfaction or returns, greatly improves customer satisfaction, and
avoids the possibility of quality events such as the ‘Apple Antenna Issue’.
Since finger can be used for the status bar 61 of the present invention to easily and
quickly setup, the height of status bar 61 is much higher than the height of iOS’s
status bar 21 and Android’s status bar 31. Normally it is two or more times higher than
that of the iOS and Android. Each indication button in status bar 61 is greater and
clearer at a glance. The user can directly click the status bar to quickly setup on the
home screen. The system is more easy use, more intuitive, when users quickly setup
the general options; it is faster and more convenient. It does not like the iOS and
Android, one needs a slide operation to open the control center or control panel bar,
and then clicks to setup.
In the present invention operating system, the user can use two fingers to click status
bar 61, to directly open the ‘Setting’ application.
In the example of Figure 13, most of the display area in the middle of the home screen
60, is the desktop 62. There is a static or a dynamic background picture on the
desktop 62. On the top of the desktop 62, there is a real-time information display area
64, to display time, the date, the weather, etc. Of course the present invention system
can have or not have a real-time information display area 64; the time, the date, and
the weather can be displayed on the status bar 61.
In the “Smart Dynamic Icon”, as described above, there are no icons on desktop 62 at
first; the ‘Mail’ application, the ‘iMessage’ application 66, and the ‘important contacts’
application 67, are not displayed on the home screen at first. When the ‘Mail’
application has a new email, it changes to “Update Status”, the icon of the ‘Mail’
application will automatically be displayed on the home screen, as shown in the
example of Figure 13, the ‘Mail’ application has eight new emails. When the
‘iMessage’ application has new messages, it changes to “Update Status”, the icon of
the ‘iMessage’ application will be automatically displayed on home screen, as shown
in the example of Figure 13, the ‘iMessage’ application has six new messages. When
the ‘important contacts’ application has a new status, it changes to “Update Status”,
the icon of the ‘important contacts’ application will be automatically displayed on the
home screen, as the example of Figure 13 shows the important contacts application
has two missed calls, three new messages, and one new email.
In the example of Figure 13, there is Dock bar 63 on the bottom of the home screen 60,
and in the Dock bar 63, there are the several most commonly used application icons
65. In the example of Figure 13, the most commonly used applications are ‘Phone’,
‘Voice Assistant’, ‘Photos’, ‘Camera’. The user can customize the number and the
specific application on dock 63. The ‘important contacts’ application 67 can also be
put in the dock 63, except it is put on desktop 62.
The present invention operating system’s dock bar is similar to the iOS’s dock bar. Of
course, the present invention operating system may not include a dock bar. Because
of the application icon “Smart Dynamic Icon” technology, the desktop 62 has enough
space for put the most commonly used applications 65 on the desktop 62. So the
present invention operating system’s home screen 60, only comprises two sections:
status bar 61 and desktop 62. The desktop 62 will have a larger space and be more
beautiful. The present invention operating system can also not include a status bar 61,
and the entire home screen 60 is the desktop 62. Indication buttons on original status
bar can be surfaced displayed on desktop 62, so the desktop 62 fills the entire screen
The present invention operating system comprises a ”Quick Slide Assistant”. A system
detecting user can use one or more fingers for touch action and slide path on the
touchscreen, through a touch sensor on the device. The system directly opens this
touch action and slide path corresponding application, the unique corresponding
application is setup by the system and the user.
The present invention operating system comprises “User Touch Path Identification
Unit”, and “User Touch Path Mode Library”. “User Touch Path Identification Unit”
detect and identification user touch path and slide path on touchscreen, through touch
sensor. The “User Touch Path Mode Library” comprises a series of specific touch and
slide path modes. When the “User Touch Path Identification Unit” is detected and
identifies a user touch and slide path on the touchscreen, and compares this touch
and slide path with a “User Touch Path Mode Library”, it directly opens this touch and
slide path corresponding application, through the “Application Opening Unit”. It is not
needed to find and click the icon of this application.
The user can do various slide operations on home screen 60, directly opening the
corresponding application’s “Full Screen Application Interface” 50, with no need to find
and click the icon of this application. iOS system currently does not have this feature.
Android system, as shown in Figure 3, can slide left or right, on the upper half desktop
33, opening a half screen display Widgets, other applications cannot do such an
operation.
The present invention operating system has difference features and characteristics
compared to iOS and Android:
The first difference is it can do various slide operations on the home screen 60,
not limited to slide left or right. The present invention operating system can slide
on the home screen, as show in Figure 14 to Figure 38.
The second difference is the direct opening application “Full Screen Application
Interface” 50; not half screen Widgets; not application interface 40 which has a
fixed status bar 41, as shown in Figure 4.
The third difference is one slide operation default opening only one application,
which is more easier for users to remember. Android system continues sliding, a
lot of Widgets appears; user do not remember how many times they need to
slide to open a Widget, it’s not easy.
The fourth difference is also the most important difference is, the present
invention operating system will open different applications according to different
slide path areas, different slide path starting point positions, different slide path
directions, different slide path shaped and formed. iOS and Android do not
recognize the slide parameters, such as a starting point, a pass area,
a direction, a shape, a form, and so on.
The fifth difference is, for each different slide path, opening different applications
according to different numbers of fingers.
As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15, sliding on ‘real-time information display area’ 64
on the desktop 62, opens applications related to time, date, and weather. For example,
a one finger slide as shown Figure 14, opens Full Screen ‘Weather’ application, which
does not have a status bar. For example, a one finger slide as shown Figure 15,
opens a Full Screen ‘Calendar’ application, which does not have a status bar. Two or
more fingers click on the ‘real-time information display area’ 64, opens a Full Screen
‘Clock’ application.
As shown in Figure 16 to Figure 26, a user can slide along various paths, on the blank
space of the desktop 62. Figure 16 to Figure 23, shows a straight line slide along an
Eight-direction on the blank space of the desktop 62. For example, Figure 16 shows a
slide from right to left; Figure 17 shows a slide from left to right; Figure 18 shows a
slide from down to up; Figure 19 shows a slide from up to down; Figure 20 shows a
slide from lower left to upper right; Figure 21 shows a slide from lower right to upper
left; Figure 22 shows a slide from upper right to lower left; Figure 23 shows a slide
from upper left to lower right. Figure 24 and Figure 25 shows a slide in a semicircle, or
a curve, or an arc, on the blank space of the desktop 62. Figure 24 shows a slide
along a clockwise arc from up to down; Figure 25 shows a slide along a
counterclockwise arc from up to down. Figure 26 shows a slide in an “S” shape from
up to down on the desktop 62.
Except for the samples in Figure 16 to Figure 26, the user can also slide along other
various kinds of straight lines, broken lines, curve lines, arc lines, circles, triangles,
rectangles, and all kinds of regular shapes; a user can also slide along all kinds of
regular symbols, such as letter symbols, character symbols, number symbols,
mathematical symbols, plus symbol, a checkmark symbol, a cross symbol, a greater
than sign symbol, a less than sign symbol. In each slide operation in Figure 16 to
Figure 26, and in each regular shape slide, regular symbols slide, such as letter
symbols, number symbols, a user all can slide using one finger, or two fingers, or
three fingers, or four fingers; and multi-fingers can also have different operations of
fingers together and fingers apart. Figure 28 to Figure 31 show examples of a
multi-fingers operation of Figure 16. Of course, in Figure 17 to Figure 26, and in any
kind of other slide path, all can be performed with multi-fingers operations like Figure
28 to Figure 31. Figure 32 shows a slide up to down, from the top of the home screen
60. Figure 33 shows a slide down to up, from the bottom of the home screen 60. In
iOS 7, Figure 32 tunes out the Notification Center; Figure 33 tunes out the Control
Center.

“User Touch Path Mode Library” contains any kind of simple or complex touch action
and slide path, Table 1 is just a preferred embodiment of “User Touch Path Mode
Library”, but is not to limit the present invention.
And any kind of regular shape and regular symbols, which not listed in Table 1, can
also setup the corresponding features. For example, one finger slide “√” symbol opens
‘Calculator’ application; one finger slide ‘2’ symbol, directly call to someone; one finger
slide ‘3’ symbol, directly call to another person. A user can also slide “b” shape 、“d”
shape 、 “e” shape 、 “h” shape 、 “q” shape 、 “w” shape 、 “z” shape 、 “L” shape 、“<” shape 、
“>” shape 、 “6” shape 、 “7” shape 、 “8” shape 、 “9” shape, and so on. Each regular shape
and regular symbols opens a corresponding application.
Slide paths in Table 1 open “Full Screen Application Interface”, which have no fixed
status bar. Of course, slide paths in Table 1 can open traditional application interfaces
which have fixed status bar. All default features of slide paths in Table 1 can be
changed, a user can customize all items in Table 1.
The features of direct slide open an application called ”Quick Slide Assistant”, can
also be called a “Smart Slide”.
The present invention operating system comprises a ‘Notes’ application. The ‘Notes’
application interface is shown in Figure 27, comprising ‘Notes’ application interface 90,
text area 91, keyboard area 92, cursor 93. After a user finishes input content, long
presses the blank space or two fingers double-clicks the blank space, there will
appear the related application icons for a user to choose.
When users want to write something, or have sudden inspiration, users just want to
write it immediately. Users do not know and do not care to write it in Notes, Reminders,
Calendar, Mail, Blog, Twitter, Pages, or Word. In iOS and Android, a user first needs to
find these application icons, then clicks the icon to open the application. But, a user
may already forget the sudden inspiration in the finding process; or a user may
already have lost the mood to write, because of the complicated find an application’s
icon with one by one slide screen desktop, or folder by folder clicking.
‘Notes’ application of the present invention operating system, as shown in Figure 26.
Sliding an “S” shape on the home screen, it is similar writing, directly enters ‘Notes’
application interface 90. In ‘Notes’ application interface 90, there is nothing else, only
the blank text area 91, a user can input content from the cursor 93 immediately. After
user finishes inputting content, long pressing the blank space or two fingers
double-clicking the blank space, causes the appearance of related application icons
for the user to choose from; such as Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Twitter,
iMessage, Pages, and so on. When a user clicks these applications icons and enters
the corresponding application, the system automatically copies the content that user
just input in the text area 91 and automatically pastes it to the corresponding
application. For example, after a user finishes input, a user chooses to click the ‘Mail’
icon, enters the ‘Mail’ application, and the system automatically copies the content
that the user just input, and automatic pastes into a new email. For example, after a
user finishes input, a user chooses to click the ‘Twitter’ icon, without entering the
‘Twitter’ application, the system automatically sends the content that the user just
input, as a twitter. The same, if the user chooses to click a ‘Reminders’ icon, after he
finishes input; without entering the ‘Reminders’ application, the system automatically
adds the user inputted content to Reminders.
In the present invention operating system, sliding on the application icon on the dock
bar, opens a related application, relate to the starting point icon, as shown in Figure 34
and Figure 35. Figure 34 shows a slide from left to right, Figure 35 shows a slide from
right to left. Also a user can slide from down to up from the dock, as shown in Figure
Figure 36, Figure 37 and Figure 38, are examples of Figure 34 and Figure 35. In
Figure 36, a slide left to right from the ‘Phone’ icon on the dock bar, opens the
‘Contacts’ application, which is related to ‘Phone’ application. In Figure 38, a slide
from right to left from the ‘Camera’ icon on the dock bar, opens the ‘Photos’ application,
which is related to ‘Camera’ application.
The present invention operating system comprises a “Quick Voice Assistant”
achieving the function of voice opening applications, this function can be achieve
without connecting to the network.
The system records a user’s speaking voice of application name, through microphone
on the device. Then, the system compares the recoded voice with an “application
name voice library”, and directly opens the application which compared result is
conform to the recoded voice.
The “Quick Voice Assistant” comprises a voice input unit, an application name voice
library, a voice compare unit, a voice text conversion unit. The application name voice
library comprises all voices of all user installed applications names. The system
application name voice library default contains the voices of the system built-in
applications names. Each time a user installs a new application, the system
downloads this application name’s voice from a server, and add it to the application
name voice library. Each time a user deletes or uninstalls an application, the system
deletes this application name’s voice from the application name voice library.
Then the application name voice library always contains corresponding voices of all
user installed applications names. The voice input unit of the system, recording the
user’s speaking voice of application name through a microphone. The application
name is usually relatively short, general is one word, or several words. It will not be
long sentence. So it is easy to compare with. Then, system through voice compare
unit, compare with application name voice library, directly open the compare result
conform application.
General users installed tens of applications, few users will install hundreds of
applications. Because only need compare with tens of application names voice,
most compare with hundreds of application names voice, so the speed and accuracy
is very high. “Quick Voice Assistant” can quickly and easily open applications,
convenient, intuitive, and cool.
The voices in “Application Name Voice Library” can be download from server each
time when user installed a new application. The voices can also download together at
one time. For example, when user connect to internet, and when the user equipment
network speed is vacant, system detects all user installed applications through
“Application Management Unit”, then system download all user installed applications
name voice from a server together.
The voices in “Application Name Voice Library” do not have to download. The system
can list all installed application name in a table, through “Application Management
Unit”; then use “Voice Text Conversion Unit” convert all installed application name to
voice, and generate the “Application Name Voice Library”.
The “Quick Voice Assistant” recording user speaking voice of application name,
through “Voice Input Unit”. The system can also use “Voice Text Conversion Unit”
convert user speaking voice to text name, then compare the converted text name with
the application name table, and then directly open the application which compared
result conform to the converted text name.
“Quick Voice Assistant” of the present invention operating system have these
following advantages compare with iOS’s Siri Voice Assistant:
The first advantage is that the Voice Assistant does not need to identify and
guess the user's intention. “Quick Voice Assistant” only have one feature, that is
open application. So, when start “Quick Voice Assistant”, system knows user
need to open an application, no need to guess, it is more accurate.
The second advantage is that the user do not need speak a sentence: ”Please
open XX application”, or “Open the XX application”. User just need speak “XX”,
the application name, so the time required to speak, and the time required to
recognition is greatly reduced.
The third advantage also is the most major advantage is that Siri must connect to
a network, but “Quick Voice Assistant” can work without network. First saving the
user's network traffic and corresponding cost, then saving the time send to server
and feed back from the server.
The fourth advantage is that only compare with “Application Name Voice Library”,
the speed and accuracy greatly exceeds than Siri. The application immediately
opened after user speak its name, user will experience smoothly and surprise.
The “Quick Voice Assistant” is a very good feature in some situations, such as in a car,
at home, and on the road.
As shown in Figure 37, slide left to right from the Siri icon on the dock bar start “Quick
Voice Assistant”. The “Quick Voice Assistant” can also has its own icon, its own icon
can put on desktop 62, or can put in dock bar 63. The second icon in dock bar in
Figure 13, can be the “Quick Voice Assistant” icon. The user clicks or long pressing
the “Quick Voice Assistant” own icon, start “Quick Voice Assistant”. The user can also
slide on the home screen to open “Quick Voice Assistant”; such as Figure 18, slide
down to up start the “Quick Voice Assistant”.
Or, user can one finger long press on the blank space of the home screen, directly
starting “Quick Voice Assistant”. That is the user can long press on the desktop
background wherein at the press place does not have an icon, to open “Quick Voice
Assistant” prompt, then the user speaks an application name toward the microphone,
the application immediately opens after the user remove his finger.
If user said application name is not in “Application Name Voice Library”; the system
will prompts user: “You just said program system is not installed, are you need to buy
and install it in the App Store?”. If user choose Yes, the system will automatically
search in App Store, and finish the buy and install process, of course need user
confirm and enter the password during the buy process.
The “Quick Voice Assistant” can also be called “Smart Voice Assistant”. Table 2 list
the advantages that “Quick Voice Assistant” compared with iOS’s Siri® and Android’s
Google Now®, when the three operating systems open low frequency applications.

The “Graphical User Interface” of the present invention operating system comprises a
“Global Application Icons Interface” 80. As shown in Figure 40, the “Global Application
Icons Interface” 80 comprises three sections: there is a search bar 81 on the top of the
screen; there is an application icons display area 82 in the middle of the screen; there
is a dock bar 83 at the bottom of the screen. There is application icon 84 in the dock
bar. The “Global Application Icons Interface” 80 can do not have dock bar 83, only
have search bar 81 and the application icons display area 82. The “Global Application
Icons Interface” 80 can also do not have search bar 81, only have dock bar 83 and
application icons display area 82.
The search interface of iOS as shown in Figure 39, waste a large blank area 72 in the
middle of the screen. In mobile devices, each pixel of display screen is valuable,
waste display area is not a good design. The “Global Application Icons Interface” 80 of
the present invention operating system, efficiently use the screen.
Figure 41 is further illustrate of Figure 40, the application icons display area 82 display
the small application icons. These application icons including all user installed
application, except several application icon 65 in the dock bar of the home screen 60,
and except several application icon 84 in the dock bar of the “Global Application Icons
Interface” 80.
The application icons display area 82 display all installed application icons at one
place, allow user to see all applications at a glance. No longer need slide one by one
desktops to search an icon like iOS and Android. In Figure 41, user can clear see
each application icon.
Application icons display area 82 of Figure 41, automatically adjusts the display size
of application icons, according to the quantity of user installed applications. For
example, when user install a few applications, the icon display size is relatively big;
when user install a lot of applications, the icon display size is relatively small.
Figure 42 is another icon array sample of Figure 40. In application icons display area
82 of Figure 42, have two kinds of application icon, one is user high frequency use
application icon 86, the other is user low frequency use application icon 85. The user
high frequency use application icon 86 is relatively big, and the user low frequency
use application icon 85 is relatively small. The system can also setup icons displayed
by category; and in each category, the top frequency application icon is display big;
and other icons is display small behind. Of course, the system can setup the first two
or three high frequency use application icons display relatively big.
The “Global Application Icons Interface” 80 comprising a Quick Delete Assistant, user
can directly drag an application icon into the trash basket icon 87, then system
automatically deletes this application. In iOS and Android, user need long press an
application icon, then choose to delete an application. The present invention operating
system delete application operation is more intuitive, more easy, and more efficient
than iOS and Android. The user also can long press trash basket icon 87, choose to
restore and reinstall a deleted application. Then system will auto search App Store,
and reinstall the application. Usually the trash basket icon 87 of Quick Delete
Assistant, is put on the dock bar 83 on the bottom of the “Global Application Icons
Interface” 80.
Figure 43 is another icon array sample of Figure 40. In application icons display area
82 of Figure 43, array application icons according to different categories. Figure 44 is
an example of Figure 43.
The application icons display area 82 can do these following operations. The first
operation is user slide from down to up on the application icons display area 82, to
display more icons. In fact, for most users, one screen page is enough to put in all
user installed application icons. Only a few users who installed hundreds application,
need slide to next page. The second operation is double-click on the application icons
display area 82 to zoom in the icons that nearby the user finger, and double-click
again to zoom out the icons. The third operation is two fingers separate and together,
zoom in and zoom out display icon. The fourth operation is user finger continuous
slide on the application icons display area 82, realtime zoom in on the icon which user
finger touched; when user removes his finger, the system opens the zoom in
application.
The “Global Application Icons Interface” 80, user can also input application name in
the search bar 81, search an application, and click the application in the search result,
then open the application. The user does not need input the whole application name,
when user input the first letter, or the first character, system will prompt applications by
frequency.
In the “Global Application Icons Interface” 80, all application icons can classification
according to their property. The system default array icons according to user use
frequency, or according to user use time.
In Figure 41, array icons from the first row to the last row, in turn reducing the display
size of the application icon according to the frequency. Such as the first row icon is
bigger than the second row icon; the second row icon is bigger than the third row icon,
and so on. The system can also array icons according to classification and frequency,
like Figure 42. The system can also array icons according to categories, like Figure
The present invention operating system has a low use frequency application delete
remind feature, for user to manage their installed application. If an application is not
opened by user over a set time, the system will automatically remind a user whether
to delete the application. If user chooses ‘Yes’, then the system automatically deletes
the application. The system will prompt: “XX application, you have XX time not used,
do you want to delete it”, and have three options: 1 ‘Yes’, 2 ‘No’, 3 ‘check XX
application’. If user choose ‘No’, system ignore. If user choose ‘check XX application’,
then system opens the XX application. For example, system will prompt: “XX game,
you have not used for half a year, do you want to delete it?”. User can setup the
remind time, such as half a year, three months, or one month.
The present invention operating system has a “Smart Gesture” function. The system
detects device movement variable value in the three-dimensional space, through
sensors in the device. The system detects device surrounding environment variable
value, through sensors in the device. The system detects device power supply status,
through a circuit in the device. Then the system calculates a user’s device use
situation, based on a combination of the device movement variable value, the device
environment variable value, and the device power supply status. The system
executes setting operations if the calculated user’s device use situation fits the system
and the user setting. The setting operations comprising automatic wake-up, auto
unlock, auto sleep, shutdown, power on, directly opening system and user setting
application, close current running application, automatic display a category application
icons on home screen, and so on.
The environment variable value includes but is not limited to: light, temperature,
humidity, sound, geography location, gravity, local time, heart rate, sweat, blood
pressure, blood sugar, electrocardiogram, electromyography, brain waves, face
recognition.

these five modes.
The system calculates the “User Use Mode” through “User Use Mode Analyzing Unit”,
then the system executes an operation corresponding to the calculated “User Use
Mode”, the system and the user can setup each “User Use Mode” corresponding
operation.
Figure 60 is a sample of mobile phone, listing five common use mode of the mobile
phone.
The first “User Use Mode” is mobile phone portrait direction held in hand, usually is
‘unlocked’ status. Mobile phone is oblique in hand, the screen is upward, the angle
between the screen and the horizontal plane is between 0 degrees to 80 degrees.
The second “User Use Mode” is mobile phone landscape direction held in hand,
usually is ‘unlocked’ status. Mobile phone is oblique in hand, the screen is upward, the
angle between screen and the horizontal plane is between 0 degrees to 80 degrees.
The third “User Use Mode” is mobile phone horizontally placed on an object, such as
tables, stools, chairs, beds, etc. Mobile phone screen is parallel with the horizontal
plane, usually in ‘sleep’ status. In this “User Use Mode”, the mobile phone is almost
stationary in the three-dimensional space.
The fourth “User Use Mode” is mobile phone put in a pocket or a bag, usually in
‘sleep’ status. When mobile phone is put in a bag, the screen can be any angle. When
mobile phone is put in pocket, the screen angle usually is near vertical angle. In this
“User Use Mode”, mobile phone has slight and repeated movement in the
three-dimensional space. When mobile phone put in bag or pocket, the mobile phone
surrounding light usually is dark, which can be detected through the Light sensor.
The fifth “User Use Mode” is mobile phone vertical holding, usually is ‘unlocked’ status.
The angle between screen and the horizontal plane, is near 90 degrees.
The present invention operating system detects whether mobile phone is sleep status,
whether mobile phone has movement, and the movement extent; the system detects
light intensity around the mobile phone, and the angle between screen and the
horizontal plane, then the system can recognition the five “User Use Mode” of the
mobile phone.
If mobile phone is sleep status, stationary, and screen is parallel with the horizontal
plane, then the mobile phone is in the third “User Use Mode”, mobile phone
horizontally placed on an object.
If mobile phone is in sleep status, has slight and repeated movement, and
surrounding light value is less than a set value, then the mobile phone is the fourth
“User Use Mode”, mobile phone placed in pocket or bag.
If mobile phone is in ‘unlock’ status, the angle between screen and the horizontal
plane is between 0 degrees to 80 degrees, and the screen is mounting upward, then
the mobile phone is the first “User Use Mode”, mobile phone portrait direction in hand.
If mobile phone is ‘unlock’ status, the angle between screen and the horizontal plane
is between 0 degrees to 80 degrees, and the screen is surface upward, then the
mobile phone is the second “User Use Mode”, mobile phone landscape direction in
hand.
If mobile phone is ‘unlock status, the angle between screen and the horizontal plane is
about 90 degrees, then the mobile phone is the fifth “User Use Mode” mobile phone
vertical holding.
The present invention operating system detects the changing value of the angle
between screen and the horizontal plane, detects the changing value of surroundings
light, detects the changing value of movement in the three-dimensional space, and
combine with mobile phone status is sleep or wakeup, then the system can recognise
the mobile phone is switching between which two states.
As shown in Figure 60, the present invention operating system can detecting sixteen
kinds of switchings between the five “User Use Mode”. The solid line means common
switchings, the dotted line means rare switchings.

A user can customize each item in the Table 3, customize the default setting
operations and functions, for the each kind of “User Use Mode” switching.
The technology in Table 3 can be called “Smart Status Detect”, or called “User Use
Mode Smart Detect”. The “Smart Gesture” can also be called “Smart Move”, or “Smart
Action”.
Figure 45 is a schematic diagram of mobile phone three-dimensional coordinate axes.
Mobile phone width direction is X-axis; Mobile phone length direction is Y-axis; Mobile
phone thickness direction is Z-axis. The zero point of three-dimensional coordinate
axes in Figure 45, is on the bottom left corner of the mobile phone. The zero point of
second three-dimensional coordinate axes in Figure 46, is on the center point of the
mobile phone.
As shown in Figure 47, when user switches “User Use Mode”, from portrait direction in
hand, to landscape direction in hand, it automatically opens a ‘Video’ application, or
display all user installed video class application icons on the home screen. When user
take phone landscape direction in hand, usually want to watch a video. So Figure 47
gesture open ‘Video’ application, is very natural and intuitive. The system will open
system default video application, or the user set video application. If the user has
several common used video applications, the system will automatic display these
commonly used video application icons on the home screen for user to choose. When
system opens a video application, it will automatically play from the last play history.
“Smart Gesture” in Figure 47, system detecting the changing value of phone thickness
direction (Z-axis direction in Figure 45) is less than a setting range, or less than a set
value; X-axis and Y-axis rotating together, and the changing value is bigger than a
setting range, or the rotate angle is bigger than a set value. That is system detect
thickness direction changing value less than a set value, and device screen rotate
angle is bigger than a set value, the system open video application.
As shown in Figure 48, when user switching “User Use Mode”, from portrait direction
in hand to vertical holding, the system automatic open ‘Camera’ application. The
portrait direction in hand use mode, usually is screen in front of the user, the angle
between screen and the horizontal plane is between 30 degree to 80 degree.
“Smart Gesture” in Figure 48, system detects the changing value of phone thickness
direction (Z-axis direction in Figure 45) is bigger than a set range, or bigger than a set
value. The system detecting height direction (Y-axis) changing value is bigger than a
set range, or bigger than a set value. And system detecting the angle between screen
and the horizontal plane, is bigger than a set value, usually is bigger than 90 degree
or 85 degree. That is when system detect device height changing value is bigger than
a set value, and the angle between screen and the horizontal plane is bigger than a
set value, the system automatically open ‘Camera’ application.
As shown in Figure 49 and Figure 50, when “User Use Mode” is device portrait
direction in hand, if the user shakes the mobile phone left and right, the system opens
the system and the user set application, such as opening Twitter application.
If the left and right shaking amplitude by the user is little, the system opens Twitter
application; If the left and right shaking amplitude by the user is big, the system opens
Facebook application.
Or, if the left and right shaking amplitude is little, open Wechat application; If user’s
shaking amplitude to the left and right is big, open Weibo application.
“Smart Gesture” in Figure 50, the system detecting shaking of the device to the left
and right on X’-axis direction in Figure 46, and take the Y’-axis in Figure 46 as a
center.
As shown in Figure 51 and Figure 52, when “User Use Mode” is device portrait
direction in hand, shaking the mobile phone up and down, opens the set application,
such as open iMessage application.
If user up and down shaking amplitude is little, the system opens iMessage
application; If user up and down shaking amplitude is big, the system opens Mail
application.
“Smart Gesture” in Figure 52, the system detects device up and down shaking on
Z’-axis direction in Figure 46, and takes the Y’-axis in Figure 46 as a center.
Figure 50 and Figure 52, the system opens the default IM application, user can also
setup and open their common use instant social communication application. For
example, some users like Twitter, he can setup the device such that up and down
shaking, directly opens Twitter. For example, other users like Wechat, he can setup
up and down shaking, directly open Wechat. Of course, the system can setup up and
down shaking mobile phone, automatically displaying all user installed instant social
communication application icons on the home screen. For example, display the icons
of Facebook, Twitter, iMessage, Mail, Skype, WhatsApp, Google Voice, Snapchat,
Line, Wechat, Weibo, etc, on the home screen.
Figures 53 to Figure 56 are mobile phones held sideways by a user, and shaking the
mobile phone to open application. Figure 53 is Vertical and Sideways held mobile
phone, left and right shaking. Figure 54 is Vertical and Sideways held mobile phone,
front and behind shaking. Figure 55 is Horizontal and Sideways held mobile phone,
left and right shaking. Figure 56 is Horizontal and Sideways held mobile phone, up
and down shaking. Figure 53 gesture can set to open compass application. Figure 54
gesture can set to open Voice Memos application. Figure 55 gesture can set to open
Map application. Figure 56 gesture can set to open Game Center application.
Gestures in Figure 47 to Figure 56, user can setup each gesture corresponding
application, or setup automatically display which category of application icons on the
home screen, and setup the applications of each category.
Each gesture can do it reverse gesture. The reverse gesture can setup to resume the
before status. For example, in Figure 47, reverse gesture from landscape direction in
hand, to portrait direction in hand, the system automatic from video application to
home screen, no need press home button. Or the system automatic from video to the
application user just run on portrait direction. Of course, the use user can also click
home button back to home screen. For example, Figure 48, reverse gesture from
‘vertical holding’ to ‘portrait direction in hand’, the system automatic from camera
application to photos application, user can immediately enjoy the photos.
Figure 45 and Figure 46, user can do any gesture in the three-dimensional space.
Figure 47 to Figure 56, just a few gesture sample of Figure 45 and Figure 46. Any type
of gesture in the three-dimensional space, and directly open the correspond
application, or automatically display a category icons on the home screen, are within
the scope of protection of this present invention. For example, when user take mobile
phone forward, and detecting surroundings light is dark, and the light value is less
than a set value, the system smart opens flashlight.
Table 4 lists the gestures of Figure 45 to Figure 56, and the system default features of
each gesture.

Of course, each gesture in Table 4 can open different applications according to
different move amplitude, different move speed, different move strength, and different
move number of times. For example, in Figure 50, if left and right shaking amplitude is
less than 30 degree, the system opens Twitter; if left and right shaking amplitude is
bigger than 60 degree, the system opens Facebook. For example, in Figure 52, if up
and down shaking strength is little, the system opens iMessage; if up and down
shaking strength is big, the system opens Mail. For example, in Figure 50, if left and
right shaking less than three times, the system opens Snapchat application. For
example, in Figure 52, if up and down shaking more than three times, the system
opens WhatsApp application.
The present invention operating system can setup through “Application Icon
Management Unit”, hide an application icon, then this application icon do not display
on anyplace. This application icon is only opened by a user setup specific gesture. It’s
good for the users who need privacy.
“Smart Gesture”, the system opens different application according to different local
time, and different location. At night, after a set time, such as after 23:00, by
overturning phone and screen downward, the system automatically shut downs; in the
morning, after set time, such as 6:00-9:00, by overturning phone and screen upward,
the system automatically turns power on; between two set times, such as 9:00-23:00,
overturning phone and screen downward, is mute function or close application
function.
“Smart Gesture” usually perform on home screen, or on “Global Application Icons
Interface”. Of course, “Smart Gesture” can also perform on sleep status, or perform on
lock screen, or perform on application interface.
When Apple invented the iPhone®, they invented the slide to unlock feature at the
same time. The slide to unlock feature’s main purpose is to prevent a mistaken touch,
mistaken operation, and mistaken call, when the touchscreen mobile phone is put in
pocket. Slide to unlock feature also avoid light up mobile phone screen, when mobile
phone is put in pocket, while user do not need to use, and waste battery life. All other
mobile operating system include Android, apply the slide to unlock feature, and big
companies spent a huge amount of money, and protracted litigation time on the slide
to unlock patent. But present mobile operating system, such as iOS and Android, their
slide to unlock feature, all need the the user first take out mobile phone, then click
home button, or click power button, then slide on the lock screen, then enter home
screen.
The user clicks the home button or power button dozens of times, even hundreds of
times every day. The home button and the power button are easy to damage. Every
day global smart phone users check their mobile phone over 100 billion times, each
time save 1 second, will save human’s 3000 years’ time.
The second, traditional slide to unlock has low efficiency, light up screen time is long,
and battery time is short.
The “Smart Gesture” of the present invention operating system, allows sliding to
unlock become an extra and unnecessary procedure. The present invention’s
operating system, when the user takes out the mobile phone from the pocket or bag,
or when the user picks up mobile phone from table or bed, the system automatically
wakes up, and automatically unlocks. If user do not set a password, system will
directly enter home screen; if the user sets a password, system direct enter the
password interface or fingerprint input interface (when user set fingerprint).
“Smart Gesture” has the following advantages:
1. User experience more natural, smooth and intuitive
2. Reduce an operate step of click home button or power button; and reduce
an operate step of slide to unlock. It has higher efficiency. The home button
and power button may have longer life.
3. Reduce screen light up time, and battery time becomes longer .
The present invention operating system also detects device headphone jack status, if

Interface”120 again, user can completely delete these malicious applications on
“Global Application Icons Interface”80.
“Multi-Task Interface”120 can also be called “Efficacy Multi-Task Interface”.
The present invention operating system comprises directly completely close
application function. It can be called “Quick Close”, or “Quick Completely Close”. iOS
and Android do not have this function. In iOS and Android, user click the physical or
virtual home button, quit the current running application, but this application is still
running at the background, especially iOS and Android systems all support
multi-tasking now. But when user click home button quit an application, users
psychologically think that the application has been shut down, but in fact the
application is not closed, is still running. Although Android provides a key to shut down
all the applications, but in most cases, users do not bother to multi-task management
interface to operate. It causes lots of applications to run at the same time, consume
system resources, especially consume valuable mobile phone battery life, but user
does not know.
The present invention operating system provides a close button to user. When user
finish use an application, if user wishes for this application to continue running, then
user clicks the home button, switches to home screen or other application.
When user finishes using an application, if user wishes to close this application, then
the user directly clicks the close button of the present invention.

click home button to quit an application, the application interface of the present
invention operating system have an animation, gradually changes from large to small,
then disappears off the screen.
The present invention operating system provides a function for fast switching between
applications, and quick return to the application running before. It’s similar to the
“Back” button (“return” button) of TV remote control, that quick switching between two
TV Channels. TV users like the “Back” button, and it is one of the most high frequency
use button. Similarly, on mobile devices, many times the user needs constantly to
switch back and forth between two applications.
But in iOS and Android, user needs to click home button back to home screen, slide
desktop find the switching application icon, then click the icon; or user needs
double-click home button (iOS ) , or long press home button (Android), enter their
Multi-Task Interface, and choose the switching application icon, then click the icon.
This is very troublesome, which is same when the TV user needs to switch TV
channels, the TV user needs to find the digital numbers again and press the numbers.
The present invention operating system, user can direct double-clicks home button, it
is equivalent to TV “Back” button, directly opens the application running before, fast
switching between two applications.
Many times the iPhone's user double-clicks the Home button, enter multi-task
interface, in fact just hope to switch to the application running before.
The present invention operating system, switching between two applications, reduce a
eyes search step, reduce a click icon step, and sometimes also reduce one or more
slide step. Greatly improving user efficiency, speed, and also improve the battery life.
And this kind of fast switching between two applications, like fast switching between
two TV channels, giving users a smooth, seamless transition of feeling. In mobile
internet period, user experience is king, user experience is one of most important key
of product.
