  • Publication number: 20260014456
    Abstract: A control handle includes two gripping parts, a connecting structure, a detecting module, and a processing module. The two gripping parts are engaged with each other through the connecting structure, thereby being operable to move closer to or away from each other. When the detecting module determines that the two gripping parts are engaged with each other, an engaging signal is generated. The processing module enters a sleep mode when receiving engaging signal. When in the sleep mode and a specific button is pressed, the processing module is operated to control a communication module to search for a connecting host nearby. When the processing module uses the detecting module to determine that the two gripping parts are separated from each other, and the portable electronic device and the connector are connected, the processing module can be connected to the portable electronic device through the communication module.
