  • Publication number: 20130249797
    Abstract: A method for executing a mouse function of electronic device and an electronic device thereof are provided. In the present method, an amount and a relative position of input signals are detected by a sensor module. Then, whether the amount and the relative position are respectively conformed to a predetermined value is determined. If the predetermined values are conformed, whether the input signal is conformed to a specific signal is determined when a variation of the relative position is occurred. Finally, a corresponding mouse function is executed according to a type of the variation if the variation is conformed to the specific signal. As a result, a mouse device is no longer needed for a user to accomplish a directional operation on the electronic device so as to prevent inconvenience of particularly carrying a mouse device.

  • Patent number: 8531832
    Abstract: A notebook computer device includes an image capture module, a cover, a first magnetic element, and a second magnetic element. The image capture module is disposed on a body of the computer device, the cover is moveably disposed on the body. The image capture module is exposed when the cover is at a first position, and the image capture module is covered when the cover is at a second position. The first magnet element is disposed on the cover, and a second magnet element is disposed on the body corresponding to the first magnet element. The cover moves between a first position and a second position via the magnetic force of repulsion and attraction.

  • Publication number: 20120068946
    Abstract: A touch display device includes a main body, a detecting module and a touch display module. The detecting module includes a plurality of sensing elements for sensing a touch position of a user at the main body and providing a touch signal to the detecting module. The touch display module is disposed at the main body and electrically connected to the detecting module. The touch display device generates a function control zone corresponding to the touch position in accordance with the touch signal. A control method of a touch display device is disclosed as well. The touch display device and the control method can generate the function control zone corresponding to the touch position by sensing the touch of the user to replace physical hot keys.
