Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: an interactive display having a sensor that detects a user interaction with a sub-portion of the interactive display; and a processing circuit configured to execute a state change of the interactive display from a low power state to an operational state in response to only one detected user interaction with the electronic device, said user interaction being one of a touch event, a proximity event and a gesture, wherein the processing circuit is configured to perform the state change after determining that a detected pattern, caused by an object used to generate the user interaction, matches a preregistered pattern within a predetermined amount, the one user interaction is a touch event that includes a movement of said object over said front lens while remaining in contact with said front lens the sub-portion includes a plurality of soft key regions that includes at least a first soft key and a second soft key, the touch event includes a movement across the soft key regions that include the first soft key region and the second soft key region, and the processing circuit is configured to determine that the first soft key region is included in the touch event before determining that the second soft key region is included in the touch event.
