Patent number: 11467847Abstract: The disclosure provides a restart control device and a restart control method. The restart control device is disposed in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a keyboard and a restart button. At least one assigned key of a plurality of keys of the keyboard is set. The restart control device determines whether the at least one assigned key is pressed, and determines whether the restart button is pressed. When determining that the restart button is pressed and the at least one assigned key is pressed, the restart control device provides a restart control signal to cause the electronic device to perform a restart operation. The disclosure can prevent an unnecessary restart operation due to a single restart button being mistyped.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: ITE Tech.

Patent number: 9684383Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a method for detecting status of keys thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus comprises a key module, a key control circuit, a conversion circuit with calibration mechanism and a processor. The key control circuit detects whether any of keys in the key module is pressed. If the detection result is affirmative, the press status of each of the keys is scanned by the key control circuit to obtain a coarse scan result. The conversion circuit with calibration mechanism is configured to perform the other system function of the electronic apparatus. When the processor determines that at least one of the keys is not pressed according the coarse scan result, the conversion circuit with calibration mechanism is switched to assist a re-scan operation of the press status of the at least one of the keys.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: ITE Tech.
