- In the present time, a common way of controlling an electronic apparatus is using a touch control method. Generally speaking, an electronic apparatus includes a touch sensitive module on which a user can move their fingers to perform different predetermined functions of the electronic apparatus. Therefore, the electronic apparatus must be able to be controlled to execute different predetermined functions according to the user's different moving motions on the touch sensitive module.

However, this is for illustrative purposes only, and is not meant to be a limitation of the application. Please refer to
FIG. 2 .FIG. 2 is one exemplary embodiment of anelectronic apparatus 200 which employs the control method of the application. As shown inFIG. 2 , theelectronic apparatus 200 includes: a touchsensitive module 210, which comprises a centralsensitive module 212 and a peripheralsensitive module 214 surrounding the centralsensitive module 212; acontroller 220, which is coupled to the centralsensitive module 212 and the peripheralsensitive module 214, and is utilized for detecting a moving motion on the centralsensitive module 212 and the peripheralsensitive module 214 to generate a central sensing signal SC and a peripheral sensing signal SP corresponding to the moving motion, respectively; and aprocessing unit 230, which is coupled to thecontroller 220, for controlling the operation of theelectronic apparatus 200 according to the central sensing signal SC and the peripheral sensing signal SP. When theprocessing unit 230 determines that the moving motion starts from the centralsensitive module 212 according to the central sensing signal SC and the peripheral sensing signal SP, theprocessing unit 230 controls theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute a first predetermined function. - In one embodiment of the application, the central
sensitive module 212 includes a central touch pad and the peripheralsensitive module 214 includes at least a peripheral touch pad. For example, the peripheralsensitive module 214 can be a single touch pad surrounding thecentral touch pad 212, or multiple peripheral touch pads surrounding the central touch pad 212 (not shown inFIG. 2 ). In addition, in another embodiment of the application, the centralsensitive module 212 and the peripheralsensitive module 214 can be one single touch pad, which is divided into the centralsensitive module 212 and the peripheralsensitive module 214 by a determination of software. - To further address the control method of the electronic apparatus of the application described above, the following will take the
electronic apparatus 200 as an example. - In one exemplary embodiment of the application, the first predetermined function is a panning function. When a user's finger is moving from the central
sensitive module 212 to the peripheralsensitive module 214 of theelectronic apparatus 200, thecontroller 220 first detects the moving motion of the user's finger on the centralsensitive module 212 to generate a central sensing signal SC, and then detects the moving motion on the peripheralsensitive module 214 to generate a peripheral sensing signal SP. Therefore, theprocessing unit 230 can determine that the moving motion of the user's finger starts from the central sensitive module according to the generation time of the central sensing signal SC and the peripheral sensing signal SP, and then theprocessing unit 230 will further control theelectronic apparatus 200 to perform the panning function, such as moving a map or a picture displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 in various directions, or moving a list (e.g., a contact list, a song list, or a file name list) displayed on the screen upward or downward. - For example, when a user's finger touches the central
sensitive module 212 and moves upward to the peripheralsensitive module 214, a map displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 is moved upward in a panning way, allowing the user to see the upper part of the map displayed previously. Likewise, when the user's finger touches the centralsensitive module 212 and moves downward, leftward, rightward, or right upward to the peripheralsensitive module 214, the map displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 will be moved downward, leftward, rightward, or right upward accordingly in a panning way. - In addition, in one embodiment of the application, when a user's finger touches the central
sensitive module 212 and moves upward to the peripheralsensitive module 214, then a map displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 is moved upward in a panning way. Next, if the user's finger moves around the centralsensitive module 212 on the peripheralsensitive module 214 to a downward position relative to the centralsensitive module 212, the map displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 changes to be moved downward. That is to say, when the user's finger moves from the centralsensitive module 212 to the peripheralsensitive function 214 and starts a panning function, the user can move his/her finger around the centralsensitive module 212 on the peripheralsensitive module 214 to any position relative to the centralsensitive module 212 in order to change the direction of the panning function, then the map displayed on the screen of theelectronic apparatus 200 will be moved according to the direction of the position of the user's finger relative to the centralsensitive module 212. - In one embodiment of the application, signal intensities of the central sensing signal and the peripheral sensing signal correspond to the touched areas of the user's finger on the central
sensitive module 212 and the peripheralsensitive module 214, respectively. To prevent theprocessing unit 230 from controlling theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the panning function due to a user's finger only touching a small area of the centralsensitive module 212 and moving to the peripheralsensitive module 214, theprocessing unit 230 controls theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the panning function only when the intensity of the central sensitive signal SC is greater than a predetermined signal intensity; otherwise, theprocessing unit 230 ignores the central sensing signal SC. - In another embodiment of the application, the
electronic apparatus 200 further includes a button element located under the centralsensitive module 212, and thecontroller 220 is further coupled to the button element to detect a pressing motion on the button element. When thecontroller 220 detects the pressing motion, thecontroller 220 further detects a signal intensity of a pressing sensing signal generated from the pressing motion, and determines the predetermined signal intensity based on the signal intensity of the pressing sensing signal. For example, the predetermined signal intensity can be more than 70% of the signal intensity of the pressing motion generated from the pressing motion (e.g., the predetermined signal intensity is 80% of the signal intensity of the pressing motion). In this case, only when theprocessing unit 230 determines that a moving motion starts from the centralsensitive module 212 according to the central sensing signal SC and peripheral signal SP, and the signal intensity of the central sensing signal SC is greater than the predetermined signal intensity (i.e., 80% of the signal intensity of the pressing motion), theprocessing unit 230 controls theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the panning function. In this way, user's accidental touch on the centralsensitive module 212, which leads to theprocessing unit 230 controlling theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the panning unexpectedly, can be prevented. - Furthermore, in another embodiment of the application, when the
processing unit 230 determines that an angular velocity of the moving motion on the peripheralsensitive module 214 is greater than a predetermined angular velocity while theelectronic apparatus 200 is executing the first predetermined function, theprocessing unit 230 then controls theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute a second predetermined function different from the first predetermined function. For example, in one embodiment of the application, the second predetermined function is a wheeling function. If the user's finger alters to wheel on the peripheralsensitive module 214 after the user's finger moving outward from the centralsensitive module 212 to the peripheralsensitive module 214, and theprocessing unit 230 determines that the angular velocity of the user's moving motion is greater than a predetermined angular velocity according to the peripheral sensing signal SP, theprocessing unit 230 will no longer control theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the first predetermined function (e.g., the panning function) but will control theelectronic apparatus 200 to execute the wheeling function, such as adjusting sound volume, shrinking display screen, or moving displayed lists (e.g., contact list, song list, filename list and so on) upward/downward. - The application also provides a recording medium for recording a computer program used to perform the aforementioned control method of an electronic apparatus. The computer program is basically composed of multiple program code segments (e.g., a program code segment of establishing an organization chart, a program code segment of sign-off forms, a program code segment of configuration, and a program code segment of allocation), and after those program code segments are loaded and executed in an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 200), the above-mentioned steps and functions of the aforementioned control method of the electronic device are then accomplished.
- Briefly summarized, in accordance with the application, a control method of an electronic apparatus, and an apparatus and a using the control method detect whether a moving motion on a touch sensitive module of an electronic apparatus starts from a central sensitive module or not to selectively control the electronic apparatus to execute a first predetermined function (e.g., a panning function). If the moving motion starts from the central sensitive module, the electronic apparatus is controlled to execute the first predetermined function; otherwise, the electronic apparatus is not controlled to execute the first predetermined function. In addition, if an angular velocity of the moving motion is greater than a predetermined angular velocity, the electronic apparatus is controlled to execute a second predetermined function (e.g., a wheeling function). In this way, a user can control the electronic apparatus to execute a panning function or a wheeling function by the starting position and moving trace (e.g., wheeling) of his/her finger moving on the touch sensitive module.
- Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
