  • Patent number: 10671269
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor and a touch display screen. The touch display screen displays a touch icon. The processor receives a first touch operation and a second touch operation through a touch area of the electronic device. The processor moves the touch icon according to the first touch operation. The processor performs a touch operation at an indication position of the touch icon according to the second touch operation, and the touch operation is the same as or corresponding to the second touch operation. The indication position of the touch icon is located outside the touch area.

  • Patent number: 10423263
    Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit and a hinge member. The hinge member is detachably connected to the display unit and pivotally connected to the input unit, and the hinge member and the display unit are rotatable relative to the input unit around a rotary axis. The display unit has at least a slot and the hinge member has at least a guide pin corresponding to the slot. The guide pin has a first slope structure and a vertical surface structure. The first slope structure and the vertical surface structure are arranged in a direction parallel to the rotary axis.

  • Patent number: 10203729
    Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit, and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism is detachably connected the display unit and pivotally connected to the input unit, wherein the hinge mechanism includes a housing, a stopper, and an elastic element. The elastic element connects the housing to the stopper. When the portable electronic device is in a closed state, the stopper is in an initial position relative to the housing. When the display unit and the hinge mechanism are rotated relative to the input unit around a rotation axis and the portable electronic device is in an open state, the elastic element exerts an elastic force on the stopper, and the stopper slides to an outer side relative to the housing from the initial position and partially covers the display unit.

  • Publication number: 20180107332
    Abstract: An electronic device with touchscreen control includes a display, a touch sensor, and a processor. The display displays applications and files. The touch sensor receives an input operation from a user and detects an operating mode therein. The operating mode includes operation parameters of the input operations or combinations thereof. The operation parameters include at least one of a biometric pattern characteristic, a pressure characteristic, and a region characteristic. The processor receives the operating mode detected by the touch sensor and compares the detected operating mode to operating modes stored in the electronic device to determine, whether the detected operating mode matches any stored operating mode, and if it does, the processor activates an application or a file corresponding to the detected operating mode. A touch control method of the electronic device is also provided.
