Abstract: A driving mechanism is provided, including a base, a movable unit, and a movable part. The movable unit is movably disposed on the base and connected to an optical element. The movable part is movably disposed on the base and forms a passage. When the movable part moves from the first position to the second position relative to the base, the movable unit can slide relative to the base from its initial position through the passage to a closed position.

Abstract: A method for capturing display data on a screen together with display data not currently visible is applied to an electronic device. The method displays a user interface of an application on a touch screen of the electronic device, the user interface being divided into a sliding area and N number of non-sliding areas, when a preset user operation is applied to the electronic device. The method sets a starting position and an ending position in the sliding area. Content between the set starting and ending positions is read, and a screenshot corresponding to the read content is generated.

Abstract: A method of managing a keypad of a handheld electronic device comprises promoting a user whether a size of the keypad needs adjustment when the handheld electronic device is in a single hand operating mode. If the answer is yes, the handheld electronic device then detects a movement of a finger of the user on a touch screen thereof. When a movement of the finger along a diagonal direction of the keypad away from the keypad is detected, the size of the keypad is increased. When a movement of the finger alone the diagonal direction of the keypad toward the keypad is detected, the size of the keypad is decreased. When the movement of the finger is stopped and a “Done” button is pressed, the adjustment of the size of the keypad is completed, and the size of the keypad after adjustment is stored in a storage module.

Abstract: An image capturing method includes obtaining a group of reference parameters of an electronic device and obtaining a group of current parameters of the electronic device. Parameter differences between the group of reference parameters and the group of current parameters are calculated. A user is guided to move and rotate the electronic device according to the parameter differences. The user is reminded to capture an image when the parameter differences fall within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A method for controlling applications in an electronic device through manipulation of icons of the applications includes activating a selection mode of the electronic device by detecting a predetermined user operation on a touch screen of the electronic device. A path of a sliding touch on a touch screen of the electronic device is detected and recognized. A folder is created at the start or end of the path of the sliding. When the path is closed by returning the sliding touch to the start point of the path, application icons of installed applications which are within the interior of the closed path are moved into the folder.
