  • Publication number: 20220236827
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provides an electronic apparatus and a data processing method. The electronic apparatus includes a first sensor (101), configured to collect a distance sensing parameter, and a second sensor (102), configured to collect a touch control sensing parameter. A touch control area of the second sensor (102) covers a specific area of a first surface of the electronic apparatus. The first sensor collects the distance sensing parameter in a space above the touch control sensing area. The distance sensing parameter may be collected in the space above the touch control sensing area by arranged a distance sensor. Thus, the electronic apparatus may realize a touch control input and an input through the distance, which enriches input manners of the electronic apparatus and improves the user experience.
