Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a display unit, a light sensor, and a processor. The display unit has a brightness value. The light sensor senses an ambient light to generate a light intensity signal. The processor is coupled to the display unit and the light sensor and accesses a program instruction from a memory to perform the following steps: continuously receiving the light intensity signal from the light sensor; smoothing a plurality of light intensity signals to generate a plurality of smoothing signals; and maintaining the brightness value of the display unit for a preset time period and then determining whether to adjust the brightness value when a difference generated by subtracting a previous smoothing signal of a target smoothing signal of the smoothing signals from the target smoothing signal is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold.

Abstract: A control method for an electronic apparatus having a touch screen is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps. Contact with the touch screen is first detected. It is next determined whether the contact is initiated by a finger or a stylus. After determining that the contact is initiated by the finger, an input gesture from a motion of the finger is further determined based on a predetermined rule. Thereafter, the visual effects of the target screen currently operating are triggered accordingly in response to the determined input gesture.
