Abstract: A touch pad control system includes a locking module, a control module, and an unlocking module. The touch pad control system is used in a notebook computer. The notebook computer includes a touch pad and a keyboard. The control module is configured to send a first locking signal and a second locking signal to the locking module after the keyboard is triggered. The locking module is configured to lock the touch pad after receiving the first locking signal and the second locking signal. The unlocking module is configured to unlock the touch pad.

Abstract: A mouse cursor control method, applied in a computer, includes receiving a first pressing gesture and a second pressing gesture, when the first pressing gesture maintains and recognizes the first pressing gesture and the second pressing gesture as a function of a left mouse button or a right mouse button according to a position relationship between the first pressing gesture and the second pressing gesture.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display member rotatably coupled to a base member. A touchpad is located on a working surface of the base member. The touchpad includes a first touch area, a second touch area, and a third touch area. When the first touch area detects a palm touch gesture, the first touch area is disabled from sensing and recognizing any touch gestures and the second touch area and the third touch area are enabled to sense and recognize touch gestures. A human-computer interaction method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an input/output (I/O) port and an instruction receiver located adjacent to the I/O port. When an external storage device is connected to the I/O port and the instruction receiver receives a predefined instruction input by a user, the electronic device generates a graphical user interface (GUI) to display a folder associated with the external storage device. A human-computer interaction method is also provided.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a touchpad and a display. The touchpad is divided into a central area and a lateral area. The lateral area surrounds the central area. A method for controlling a movement of a pointer across the display includes detecting a slide touch operation in the central area of the touchpad, moving the pointer across the display according to a direction of the slide touch operation, detecting a constant touch operation in the lateral area at an end point of the central area, and continuing to move the pointer across the display when the constant touch operation is detected.

Abstract: A power saving method for an electronic device includes the following steps. The electronic device detects if an input operation is received by the electronic device. The electronic device enters a monitor mode when no input operation is detected within a predefined time. The electronic device determines if a facial feature in front of the electronic device is present while in the monitor mode with a camera. The electronic device enters a power saving mode when no facial feature is detected.

Abstract: A remote terminal emulation system includes an information converting apparatus including a serial signal interface electrically connected to a remote computer system for transmitting data in serial signal form, a network interface electrically connected to a network system for transmitting network packets, and a converting unit for converting data between serial signal form and network packet form. The remote terminal emulation system further includes a terminal emulation unit for presenting the data in serial signal form on the terminal of the remote computer system according to a terminal emulation method so as to provide a remote-control function when the remote computer system receives the data in network packet form from a host system via the network system.
