Abstract

Learning should be a process of concentration. Now, the tablet operating system, which is full of irrelevant software, greatly interferes with the concentration of students’ learning. To address this problem, we designed a dedicated Android desktop launcher to mask interference from irrelevant software. At the same time, considering that students are learning video or reading e-books, they may need to wake up the note taking application at any time to take notes. This paper focuses on how to improve the ease of use of the homework management system. By studying the process of Android’s Home key, we design home key event monitoring module and system status management module to achieve the goal of waking up the note-taking app by pressing one keystroke.
