Patent number: 9740321Abstract: A method of controlling an electronic device, an electronic device using the same, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes detecting a plurality of touch areas on a touch screen so that a plurality of touch points contained within each of the touch areas are obtained, respectively determining a typical coordinate value corresponding to each of the touch areas according to a coordinate value of each of the touch points within the touch areas, selecting one or more active objects displayed on the touch screen according to the typical coordinate value corresponding to each of the touch areas, and triggering an action associated with the one or more active objects.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Yu-Chuan Chen, Hung-I Weng

Patent number: 9652147Abstract: A method and an apparatus for altering a key function of a software input panel (SIP) of an electronic device and a recording medium thereof are provided, wherein the SIP includes a plurality of keys, and the number and layout of the keys are fixed. In the present method, first, an operating interface of an electronic device is switched, wherein the operating interface includes the SIP. Then, each key of the SIP is switched to an input word corresponding to the operating interface. As a result, the input word corresponding to each key of the SIP is automatically altered according to the current operating interface, and accordingly inputting through the SIP is made very convenient.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: HTC CorportionInventors: Yu-Chuan Chen, Hung-I Weng

Patent number: 8847910Abstract: A method for controlling an application program, an electronic device thereof, and a recording medium thereof are provided. In the present method, when detecting at least one touch area on a touch screen of the electronic device, all touch points contained within each of the touch areas are obtained. Then, a unique typical coordinate value is determined according to a coordinate value of each of the touch points. Finally, an application program is controlled to execute a function relative to the typical coordinate value. Hence, the application program is controlled to execute the corresponding function by detecting the user operation on the touch screen so as to improve a convenience of operating the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2013Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Yu-Chuan Chen, Hung-I Weng
