  • Patent number: 11941178
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch module, a motion sensor, a memory, and a control unit. The touch module is configured to generate a touch signal. The motion sensor is configured to detect motion of the electronic device to generate motion data. The memory stores a preset motion condition. The control unit is electrically connected to the touch module, the motion sensor, and the memory, and configured to: receive the motion data; and determine whether the motion data meets the preset motion condition or not, and generate a virtual touch signal when the motion data meets the preset motion condition. A control method applied to the electronic device is further provided.

  • Patent number: 11630538
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an ultrasonic input module and a control unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the ultrasonic input module. The control unit is configured to: continuously read a setting signal of the ultrasonic input module within a preset time to generate a threshold, where the setting signal includes a plurality of sensing values; receive an input signal by using the ultrasonic input module, where the input signal includes a feature value; and compare the feature value with the threshold to generate associated information, and process the input signal according to the associated information. The disclosure further provides a touch method applied to the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11287923
    Abstract: A control method of a handheld electronic device adapted to a handheld electronic device is provided. The handheld electronic device includes a touch panel. The control method includes the steps of: dividing the touch panel into two areas, and defining a trigger region in each area; configuring the touch panel to detect a touch point; and determining whether the touch point is located in the trigger region or not, and when the touch point is located in the trigger region, forming a shielding region corresponding to the trigger region; and when the touch point is not located in the trigger region, repeatedly detecting the touch point.

  • Publication number: 20210034220
    Abstract: A control method of a handheld electronic device with a touch panel is provided. The control method includes the following steps. Firstly, a user interface is displayed by the touch panel, where the user interface includes a sensing area corresponding to a predefined function. Then, an adjusting function for the sensing area is enabled. Afterward, it is determined whether the sensing area receives an adjusting instruction or not, and when the sensing area receives the adjusting instruction, the sensing area is adjusted according to the adjusting instruction and the size change process is continuously presented on the touch panel. The adjusted sensing area still corresponds to the predefined function.
