Abstract: The present invention provides a camera module for a portable electronic device. A beam splitter has a first light input end for receiving a first light beam, a second light input end for receiving a second light beam and a light output end for outputting the first or second light beams that enter from the first and second light input ends respectively. A reflector is positioned at the upstream of the first light input end of the beam splitter to redirect the first light beam to the first light input end of the beam splitter. An image sensor is positioned at the downstream of the light output end of the beam splitter to convert the first or second light beams outputted from the light output end into a corresponding signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for executing commands in an electronic device having a touch sensing element. A stylus or finger is used to touch the touch sensing element and move through several sensing areas on the touch sensing element. A responsive signal is generated by the touch sensing element according to the touched sensing areas. A processor then executes a corresponding command in accordance with the responsive signal.

Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus comprises one or more protrusion structures on a surface of the portable electronic apparatus. The protrusion structure comprises a plurality of facets, and one or more peaks are formed on the junctions of the facets. The facets are preferably in the form of triangles or quadrangles, and the protrusion structure is in the form of a pyramid of a triangular base or a quadrangular base. In an embodiment, the protrusion structure is formed on the back housing of the portable electronic apparatus, so that an electronic device, e.g., a digital camera module, embedded in the back housing can be protected to minimize the likelihood of damage.

Abstract: A handheld electronic apparatus comprises a touch keypad, a circuit board, a base and a support mechanism. The touch keypad is configured to receive a user's touch operation and comprises a plurality of icons. The circuit board is placed below the touch keypad and has a dome switch providing tactile feedback to the user when the user presses the touch keypad. The base is placed between the touch keypad and the circuit board and has a first opening through which the touch keypad can trigger the dome switch. The support mechanism is placed between the touch keypad and the base to support the touch keypad.

Abstract: A handheld electronic apparatus comprises a touch panel, a front cover and a display panel. The front cover has a support portion with a first opening. The touch panel is placed on the support portion and covers the first opening. The touch panel comprises a touch panel body and a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The touch panel body has a first substrate having a notch configured to accommodate one end of the flexible printed circuit connected to the touch panel body. When the touch panel is assembled with the front cover, the flexible printed circuit will not be too-sharply bent due to the notch design.

Abstract: A time-setting method for a portable device is provided by the presented invention. The time-setting method includes creating a time list based on the time of an incoming-call displayed, and selecting a time item on the time list by an input device. A time interval between two time items is set in the portable device.

Abstract: A color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display module with shielding-effect cable includes a color TFT display, a grounding terminal and a cable. The grounding terminal is installed at the rear of the color TFT display, while the cable, being electrically connected with the color TFT display and the grounding terminal, has a number of signal lines and micro-strip grounding pieces. Of which, the signal lines are electrically connected with the color TFT display, whilst the micro-strip grounding pieces, being connected with the grounding terminal, are interlaced with the signal lines.

Abstract: A latch structure for a mobile electronic device (1), for example, a personal digital assistant (PDA) is disclosed. The latch structure comprises a side flange (20) of a cover (10) and a side panel (30). The side flange (20) includes a cantilever (200) and at least a first engaging portion (205). The cantilever has a slanted face (201) and a lock (203) on a free end thereof. The lock has a first ramp (207). The side panel detachably connects to the side flange and defines a hole (301). The side panel includes a second engaging portion (303) and a third engaging portion (305). The hole corresponds to the slanted face. The second engaging portion has a second ramp (307) corresponding to the first ramp of the lock. The lock engages with the second engaging portion in a first position and disengages from the second engaging portion in a second position. The first engaging portion engages with the third engaging portion in the first position and disengages from the third engaging portion in the second position.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a touch pen and a touch pen are provided. Firstly, a core stick including a top end connected to a fixed portion by an easy-broken portion is prepared. The core stick is placed in a mold. A portion of the fixed portion is protruding from the mold and fixed. Then, an injected material is injected into the mold for forming a molded shell covering the core stick. By exerting a force on the easy-broken portion, the fixed portion and the core stick are separated after the molded shell is formed. A heavy touch pen with diversified appearance is thus obtained.

Abstract: An operating button with multiple functions comprising the functions of the four-direction control key, the action control key and the speaker is equipped in the handheld products.
