Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
This non-provisional application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 61/015,671, filed on Dec. 21, 2007 and included herein by reference. 1. Field of the Invention The application relates to a control method of an electronic apparatus, and more particularly, to a method for controlling an electronic apparatus according to one of two touch inputs, and an electronic apparatus adopting the method. 2. Description of the Prior Art In the present time, touching is a common method to control electronic apparatuses. Generally, an electronic apparatus includes a touch sensitive module, for example a smartphone, a PDA (personal digital assistance), or a PDA phone, on which the user can move his/her finger to control the operation of the electronic apparatus. However, when the user\'s finger is moving on the touch sensitive module, other parts of the user\'s body (e.g., the palm, other finger(s) or the other hand) might touch the touch sensitive module accidentally, which leads to misjudgment of the electronic apparatus. As a result, the user fails to control the electronic apparatus as expected. In light of this, the application provides a method for controlling an electronic apparatus by referring to the parameters of two touch inputs to determining to employ which one of the two touch inputs to control the operation of the electronic deice. In this way, the aforementioned issue can be solved. According to a first aspect of the application, a method of controlling an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes: when a first touch input and a second touch input on a touch sensitive module are detected, comparing a first parameter of the first touch input with a second parameter of the second touch input according to a first sensing signal generated from the first touch input and a second sensing signal generated from the second touch input to determine which one of the first and second sensing signals is employed to control an operation of the electronic apparatus. According to a second aspect of the application, a recording medium for recording a computer program is disclosed. The computer program includes program codes for executing the following steps: when a first touch input and a second touch input on a touch sensitive module are detected, comparing a first parameter of the first touch input with a second parameter of the second touch input according to a first sensing signal generated from the first touch input and a second sensing signal generated from the second touch input to determine which one of the first and second sensing signals is employed to control an operation of an electronic apparatus. According to a fifth aspect of the application, an electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a touch sensitive module; a controller coupled to the touch sensitive module for detecting a touch input to generate a sensing signal corresponding to the touch input; and a processing unit coupled to the touch sensitive module. The controller compares a first parameter of the first touch input with a second parameter of the second touch input according to a first sensing signal generated from the first touch input and a second sensing signal generated from the second touch input to determine which one of the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal is employed to control an operation of the electronic apparatus. These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
