  • Touch input determining method which can determine if the touch input is valid or not valid and electronic apparatus applying the method
    Patent number: 9665162
    Abstract: A touch input determining method applied to an electronic apparatus with a touch sensing device, which comprises: (a) determining a size for a region of the touch sensing device that an object provides at least one touch input to; (b) if the size is larger than or equals to a first predetermined value, not determining the touch input is a valid touch input; and (c) if the size is smaller than or equals to a second predetermined value, not determining the touch input is a valid touch input, wherein the second predetermined value is smaller than the first predetermined value.

  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH SENSING COMPONENTS, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20150268378
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic device and an associated apparatus are provided, where the electronic device includes a proximity sensor for performing proximity detection, and the method includes the steps of: determining whether a first condition is satisfied according to an application status; performing a proximity sensor threshold adjustment operation corresponding to the first condition when the first condition is satisfied, to obtain an adjusted proximity sensor threshold for the proximity sensor; and performing proximity detection by utilizing the proximity sensor according to the adjusted proximity sensor threshold. The step of determining whether the first condition is satisfied according to the application status may further include: when a specific application is running in the foreground or launched, determining that the first condition is satisfied.
