Abstract: A multimedia playing system is provided. The multimedia playing system includes an earbud-type wireless earphone and a portable electronic device. The earbud-type wireless earphone includes a temperature sensor. The portable electronic device includes a dock port, a wireless module, an audio processor, and a controller. The wireless module receives temperature data from the temperature sensor of the earbud-type wireless earphone. The audio processor provides a first sound channel signal and a second sound channel signal. The controller provides one of the first sound channel signal and the second sound channel signal to the earbud-type wireless earphone according to the temperature data when the earbud-type wireless earphone is separated from the dock port.

Abstract: A touch device is configured to display a touch activated cursor on a touch screen. The touch device is also configured to detect an assistant window triggering movement of the touch activated cursor on the touch screen. In response to detection of the assistant window triggering movement, the touch device is configured to display an assistant window on the touch screen. The assistant window magnifies a portion of the touch activated cursor as well as magnifies a display area of the touch screen adjacent to an end of the touch activated cursor.

Abstract: A method for operating gestures and a method for calling a cursor adapted to an electronic device having a touch area are provided. The method for calling the cursor is as follows. A first gesture input to the touch area by an operating object is received. It is detected whether a second gesture is continuously input by the operating object from an end point of the first gesture after the first gesture is input. When the second gesture is not continuously input by the operating object from the end point and the operating object leaves the touch area, a first operation is executed. When the second gesture is continuously input by the operating object and the operating object does not leave the touch area, a cursor is called and the cursor is moved to a location where the operating object contacts the touch area.
