  • Publication number: 20140049147
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. A fastened mechanism of the electronic apparatus is configured to secure a first housing and a second housing of the electronic apparatus. An operating object within a sensing range is sensed via a first sensor unit. A first sensing signal is sent to a control unit when the sensor unit sensed the operating object within the sensing range. A control signal is sent to the fastened mechanism for unlocking the fastened mechanism when the control unit receives the first sensing signal.

  • Publication number: 20130301201
    Abstract: A portable electronic device adapted to be detachably connected to a cradle having a containing cavity is provided, wherein an inner wall of the containing cavity has a recess. The portable electronic device includes a body and a locking-and-releasing mechanism disposed in the body and including a driving unit and a latch. The driving unit is disposed in the body. The latch is connected to the driving unit and suitable for being driven by the driving unit to protrude out of the body or hide in the body. When the portable electronic device is disposed in the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to protrude out of the body and be engaged with the recess. When the portable electronic device is going to be detached from the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to be disengaged from the recess and move back in the body.

  • Publication number: 20120180000
    Abstract: A method and a system for simulating a three-dimensional (3D) operating interface are provided. The method includes defining a partition line to partition a display frame of a screen into a first area and a second area, and defining a size of a unit grid to establish a first grid plane and a second grid plane in the first area and the second area respectively, the first grid plane and the second grid plane forming a simulated 3D grid space. The method also includes taking the unit grid as a unit to define an object size and an initial grid coordinate of an object. The initial grid coordinate is on one of the first and the second grid planes. The method further includes mapping out a simulated 3D space in the simulated 3D grid space for displaying the object according to the initial grid coordinate and the object size.

  • Publication number: 20120169604
    Abstract: A method for preventing mis-touch of a touch keyboard includes triggering a timer when the touch keyboard is touched. A key code corresponding to the touched position is obtained and stored in a storage unit. When the touched position discontinues being touched, the timer is stopped and a touched time of the touch keyboard is obtained from the timer. The touched time is compared with a touched-time upper bound. If the touched time is less than the touched-time upper bound, the stored key code is output.

  • Publication number: 20120146912
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a display appearance of a keyboard layout displayed on a touch display unit includes the steps of: (A) detecting a first touch press at a start datum point of the touch display unit; (B) detecting a second touch press at a first position different from the start datum point; (C) detecting a motion track on the touch display unit; (D) computing a key pitch and a key size parameter of the keyboard layout, based on a relative position relationship between the start datum point and the first position; (E) computing a curvature and a curving mode of the keyboard layout, based on a shifting direction and a shifting distance of the motion track; and (F) adjusting a display appearance of the keyboard layout, based on the key pitch, the key size parameter, the curvature, and the curving mode.

  • Publication number: 20110291970
    Abstract: An electronic device including a touch display panel, a panel touch control unit, and an image adjustment unit is provided. The panel touch control unit is electronically connected to the touch display panel. The image adjustment unit is electronically connected to the touch display panel. In operation, the touch display panel has a content display region and a touch menu region with adjustable sizes. The panel touch control unit adjusts the size of the touch menu region according to a received touch signal. The touch display panel contacts an object to be pressed and generates a touch signal according to a contact area. The image adjustment unit adjusts the size of the content display region according to an adjustment signal generated by the panel touch control unit.
