  • Patent number: 8073493
    Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus is disclosed. The portable electronic apparatus comprises a casing, a first displaying module, a second displaying module, a communicating module, a sensing module, and a controlling module. The first displaying module and the second displaying module are set on a first face and a second face of the casing respectively. When the communicating module receives an incoming call signal, the communicating module generates a starting signal. Then, the sensing module receives the starting signal and performs a sensing procedure to generate a sensing result. The controlling module selectively displays an incoming call information related to the incoming call signal on the first displaying module or the second displaying module according to the sensing result.

  • Publication number: 20100127898
    Abstract: An input apparatus, an input method and an electronic apparatus are provided. The input apparatus includes a signal generating module and a processing module. The signal generating module generates a plurality of input signals by executing multi-direction operations. The processing module receives two signals of the input signals which are successively generated by the signal generating module, thus generating a control signal. The control signal corresponds to one of a plurality of characters. Therefore, the input apparatus can be more conveniently used by users to input characters by executing multi-direction operations.
