Abstract: A method of displaying images via touching and an electronic apparatus thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is loaded to execute an initialization program of the electronic apparatus, where the electronic apparatus has not loaded an operating system. The touch display module is defined to include a human interface device, and the touch display device has a virtual input area, and an input interface is displayed at the virtual input area. A touch event is generated when the touch display device is touched, and a coordinate value is generated according to the touch event. When the coordinate value locates in the input interface, the coordinate value corresponds to a functional code of the human interface device, and a corresponding operation is executed according to the functional code.

Abstract: A touch display method is configured for an electronic apparatus including a touch display module and an embedded controller. The touch display module includes a touch display device and a touch input controller. The method includes following steps: loading a BIOS to perform an initialization operation when the electronic apparatus has not loaded an operating system; defining a virtual input area in the touch display device; and further displaying an input interface on the virtual input area. Generate a touch event when the touch display device is touched and translate the touch event into a coordinate by the touch input controller. If the coordinate is in the input interface, the touch input controller outputs a function signal to the embedded controller through the hardware interface. The embedded controller translates the function signal into a scan code for the electronic apparatus to execute operations corresponding to the scan code.

Abstract: A connection device for detecting connection status is used for detecting that an electrical connector is inserted in upside up position or upside down position. In the connection device, first connecting terminals are disposed on a first side while second connecting terminals are disposed on a second side. When the electrical connector is connected to the connection device, the terminals, which do not establish connection with the electrical connector, contact with a metal housing of the electrical connector. Therefore, at least two of these terminals are short circuited. Through determining which group of the first connecting terminals and the second connecting terminals is short circuited, a control module determines that the electrical connector is inserted in upside up position or upside down position.

First of all, a power control module controls the electricity supplied from the battery to the electric component. Next, when the computer system enters a designated mode, a battery-related component status is retrieved from a recording module through a connection interface. Afterwards, according to the battery-related component status, the computer system obtains testing information to determine whether the electric component operates normally. Since the power control module, the connection interface and the recording module are internal elements commonly configured computer system, the proposed device and method facilitate the testing tasks without any external instruments.
