A control method is also provided for controlling an electronic device according to a movement of a portion of the accessory relative to the electronic device.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic apparatus with a display and an input device, which comprises: sensing a tilt angle of the electronic apparatus in a sleep mode, wherein the display is off and the input device is non-active in the sleep mode; activating the input device without turning on the display based on the tilt angle of the electronic apparatus; receiving a user input from the input device while the display is off; and performing a predetermined function based on the user input.

Abstract: A capacitive touch panel and operating and fabrication methods thereof. The capacitive touch panel has a plurality of transmitter electrodes and a plurality of receiver electrodes. An electric field is formed by the receiver electrodes and the powered one of the transmitter electrodes. The changes, caused by the touch of a user, in the electric field are used in touch recognition. The receiver electrodes are all in a fork shape. For one receiver electrode, the teeth are spaced in a first distance. Note that adjacent teeth from different and adjacent electrodes are spaced apart by another distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

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.
