Patent number: 9535593Abstract: The invention provides an electronic device including a display unit, a touch sensing module and a processing unit. The display unit displays a user interface. The user interface includes a function-enabled area and a cursor. The touch sensing module is arranged to sense a touching object corresponding to the touch event of the cursor. The processing unit is arranged to implement the user interface. The processing unit further enables a function of the function-enabled area when the touch event corresponds to an event in which the cursor is dragged into the function-enabled area and remains in the function-enabled area by pressing for a first predetermined period.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Chien-Hung Li, Yu-Hsuan Shen, Yueh-Yarng Tsai

Patent number: 9304650Abstract: A method for displaying of a touch cursor is provided. The method is adapted to an electronic apparatus having a touch display unit. The touch display unit has a display area. The method includes the following steps. At least one first dimension boundary and at least one second dimension boundary are defined in the display area. A cursor, which has a pointing area and a touchable area, is displayed. When a touch event occurs in the touchable area, the cursor is correspondingly moved according to a touch coordinate of the touch event. When a reference point of the cursor passes two of the at least one first dimension boundary or two of the at least one second dimension boundary, the cursor is rotated for adjusting a relative position of the pointing area and the touchable area.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Tsung-Hang Yang, Yu-Hsuan Shen, Yi-Wen Liu

Publication number: 20150309693Abstract: A touch device is configured to display a touch activated cursor on a touch screen. The touch device is also configured to detect an assistant window triggering movement of the touch activated cursor on the touch screen. In response to detection of the assistant window triggering movement, the touch device is configured to display an assistant window on the touch screen. The assistant window magnifies a portion of the touch activated cursor as well as magnifies a display area of the touch screen adjacent to an end of the touch activated cursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Chien-Hung LI, Ling-Fan TSAO, Tung-Chuan WU, Yu-Hsuan SHEN, Yueh-Yarng TSAI

Publication number: 20150153925Abstract: A method for operating gestures and a method for calling a cursor adapted to an electronic device having a touch area are provided. The method for calling the cursor is as follows. A first gesture input to the touch area by an operating object is received. It is detected whether a second gesture is continuously input by the operating object from an end point of the first gesture after the first gesture is input. When the second gesture is not continuously input by the operating object from the end point and the operating object leaves the touch area, a first operation is executed. When the second gesture is continuously input by the operating object and the operating object does not leave the touch area, a cursor is called and the cursor is moved to a location where the operating object contacts the touch area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2014Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Chien-Hung Li, Yin-Hsong Hsu, Yu-Hsuan Shen, Yueh-Yarng Tsai
