  • Patent number: 9361837
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for dynamically adjusting a viewing angle of a screen are provided. The method is suitable for dynamically adjusting a viewing range of a screen of a handheld electronic device, wherein the viewing angle of the screen is adjustable. The method is as follows. First, a shifting value of a target deviating from the viewing range of the screen is detected by a sensor. Next, the viewing range of the screen is dynamically adjusted according to the shifting value, so as to cover the target within the viewing range of the screen. Accordingly, the snooping for the content of a frame displayed on the screen by others can be prevented and a user can view the frame displayed on the screen more conveniently.

  • Publication number: 20140218278
    Abstract: A portable device and an operating method thereof are provided, wherein the portable device includes a key and a display, and the display is in a turned-off status. The operation method includes sensing an operating motion via the key, and producing a control signal to control the portable device according to the operating motion. The control signal turns on the display to show a read-only frame when the operating motion only includes a contact motion without inducing a physical displacement of the key. Alternatively, the control signal turns on the display to show an operational frame when the operating motion contains a contact motion and a physical motion inducing the physical displacement of the key.

  • Patent number: 8207938
    Abstract: A signal filtering method for filtering signals obtained at a number of time points by an electronic device is provided. Each of the signals corresponds to an i-th value at an i-th time point of the abovementioned time points, and the i-th value and an (i+1)-th value are defined as an i-th ordering sequence, wherein i is a positive integer. Each of the i-th ordering sequence and an (i+1)-th ordering sequence conforms to a first strict monotonicity. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, whether an (i+2)-th ordering sequence conforms to a second strict monotonicity is determined. If yes, then execute the next step. Determine whether an (i+3)-th ordering sequence conforms to the second strict monotonicity. If not, a signal obtained at an (i+3)-th time point is deleted.
