  • Patent number: 10146989
    Abstract: A hand-held electronic device hand-held electronic device. A sensing surface is adopted to detect fingerprints and a contact of an object on the sensing surface. Storage stores a fingerprint signature. A controller is configured to determine whether a composition of detected fingerprints matches with the fingerprint signature and determine at least one character of the contact. The at least one character comprises a location on which the object contacts the sensing surface.

  • Patent number: 9697014
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for determining a reset thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a switch, a sensor, a reset circuitry and a control circuitry. The switch generates a trigger signal as being triggered. The sensor senses a property of an object or an environment external to the electronic apparatus and to provide a sensing information based on the sensed property. The reset circuitry is coupled to the switch and counts from an initial value to a predetermined value when keep receiving the trigger signal from the switch, wherein the reset circuitry further resets the electronic apparatus when counting to the predetermined value. The control circuitry is coupled to the switch, the sensor and the reset circuit and generates a control signal, based on the sensing information, for controlling the reset circuit to re-count from the initial value to the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 8963871
    Abstract: A handheld device is provided. The handheld device may include a sensing unit, a control unit, an operating unit, a counting module and a mode control unit. The sensing unit is for generating a sensing result based on whether a user touch is received or not. The control unit is for sending out a periodic pulse to the sensing unit, and for periodically charging and discharging the sensing unit. The counting module is for counting a pulse number of the periodic pulse, and for outputting a counting value when the sensing result indicates that the user touch is received. The operating unit is for generating a mode control signal according to the counting value. The mode control unit is for controlling the handheld device to stay in a handheld mode or a non-handheld mode according to the mode control signal.

  • Publication number: 20110221691
    Abstract: A handheld device capable of automatically switching between a handheld mode and a non-handheld mode includes a sensing unit, a control unit, an operating unit, and a mode control unit. The sensing unit is used for generating a sensing result based on whether a user touch is received or not. The control unit sends out a charging-and-discharging signal to the sensing unit, and makes use of the charging-and-discharging signal to charge and discharge the sensing unit. The operating unit is coupled to the sensing unit for generating a mode control signal according to the sensing result. The mode control unit is coupled to the operating unit for controlling the handheld device to stay in a handheld mode or a non-handheld mode according to the mode control signal.
