Method and apparatus for action indication selection

摘要

A method on an electronic device is described. A touch screen display of the electronic device is actively controlled in a higher-power mode of operation. The higher-power mode is discontinued to enter a lower-power mode of operation. In the lower-power mode: a first control signal is provided to the touch screen display and a first image is displayed on a first area of the touch screen display; occurrence of a first touch input that corresponds to the first area is determined and in response thereto, a second control signal is provided to the touch screen display and each action icon of a set of action icon is displayed on the touch screen display; occurrence of a second touch input that corresponds to an action icon is determined and in response thereto, an action indication for the current display session is selected and a corresponding selected action is performed.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a touch screen display; an application processor configured to control the touch screen display in a higher-power mode of operation; a sensor hub configured to control the touch screen display in an lower-power mode of operation; and a non-transitory memory; wherein the electronic device is configured to actively control the touch screen display in the higher-power mode of operation with the application processor; wherein the electronic device is configured to discontinue actively controlling the touch screen display in the higher-power mode of operation with the application processor to enter the lower-power mode of operation; wherein the sensor hub is configured to provide, in the lower-power mode of operation, at least one first control signal to the touch screen display; wherein the touch screen display is configured to activate, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the at least one first control signal, a first portion of the touch screen display; wherein the touch screen display is configured to display, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the at least one first control signal, a first image on a first area of the touch screen display that is within the first portion of the touch screen display; wherein the sensor hub is configured to determine, in the lower-power mode of operation, whether a first touch input that corresponds to the first area has occurred during the display of the first image; wherein the sensor hub is configured to provide, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the first touch input, at least one second control signal to the touch screen display; wherein the touch screen display is configured to activate, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the at least one second control signal, a second portion of the touch screen display; wherein the touch screen display is configured to display, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the at least one second control signal, a set of action icons, each action icon of the set of action icons being displayed on a distinct area of the touch screen display within the second portion of the touch screen display; wherein the sensor hub is configured to determine, in the lower-power mode of operation, whether a second touch input has occurred that corresponds to a distinct area for one action icon of the set of action icons; wherein the sensor hub is configured to select, in the lower-power mode of operation and in response to the second touch input, an action indication for the current display session from a set of action indications that correspond to the set of action icons; wherein the sensor hub is configured to perform, in the lower-power mode of operation, a selected action that corresponds to the selected action indication for the current display session.
