Abstract
A touch-based interaction method includes the steps of: detecting a first ending touch point signal generated when a user at a first location touches a first ending touch point on a touch screen; upon detection of a disappearance of the first ending touch point signal, displaying a shortcut icon on a first area on the touch screen, wherein the first area is an area on the touch screen touched by the user locating at the first location; upon the user touching the shortcut icon, hiding the shortcut icon from the touch screen and displaying a menu interface on the touch screen, wherein the menu interface is located in the first area; detecting a close menu touch point signal generated when the user touches the touch screen outside of the menu interface; and upon detection of the close menu touch point signal, hiding the menu interface from the touch screen.
