  • Publication number: 20240143080
    Abstract: A vibration control method adapted to an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch screen for showing a picture and a motor for generating a vibration effect. The vibration control method includes: determining a target image based on a setting signal, and generating a control instruction, where the control instruction is related to the target image and used for controlling the motor to generate the vibration effect; determining a location of the target image on the picture and defining a vibration enabling area based on the location of the target image; and defining the vibration enabling area as related to the control instruction. An electronic device adapted to the vibration control method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240103575
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a pivot and a key module. The pivot is pivotally connected between the first body and the second body. The first body and the second body is configured to rotate relatively to each other through the pivot. The key module includes a bendable substrate and a sensor embedded in the bendable substrate. The bendable substrate is connected between the first body and the second body and covers an outer side of the pivot. The sensor generates a sensing signal in response to a press of a user upon the bendable substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240103570
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a pivot, and a sensing component. The pivot is pivotally connected between the first body and the second body. The first body and the second body are configured to rotate relative to each other through the pivot, and the pivot includes a driving element. The sensing component is coupled to the pivot and the second body, and includes a sensing substrate and an interfering element connecting the sensing substrate. The driving element structurally interferes with the interfering element while rotating along with the pivot, so as to drive the interfering element to rotate, such that the sensing substrate rotates between an initial position where the sensing substrate leans on a back surface of the second body, and an operating position where an acute angle is formed between the sensing substrate and the back surface of the second body.

  • Publication number: 20230214045
    Abstract: An operation method for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area includes a sensing area. The operation method includes: detecting whether an application program is executed on the electronic device or not, and when the application program is executed on the electronic device, enabling a touch control area in the sensing area, where a position of the touch control area is related to the application program; and receiving a touch control signal on the touch control area and executing a function of the application program in response to the touch control signal. An electronic device for executing the operation method is also provided.
