Title: Method for controlling electronic apparatus and electronic apparatus, recording medium using the method

Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Claims

The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090160807, Method for controlling electronic apparatus and electronic apparatus, recording medium using the method.

What is claimed is:

1. A control method of an electronic apparatus, comprising: detecting a moving motion on a touch sensitive module to generate a sensing signal corresponding to the moving motion; and controlling an operation of the electronic apparatus according to the sensing signal, comprising: when the moving motion is determined not terminated in a predetermined period of time according to the sensing signal, controlling the electronic apparatus to execute a first predetermined function; and when the moving motion is determined terminated in the predetermined period of time according to the sensing signal, controlling the electronic apparatus to execute a second predetermined function which is different from the first predetermined function.

2. The control method of claim 1, wherein the first predetermined function is a panning function.

3. The control method of claim 1, wherein the second predetermined function is a scrolling function.

4. The control method of claim 3, wherein controlling the electronic apparatus to execute the scrolling function comprises: controlling the electronic apparatus to execute the scrolling function at a constant or a decreasing scrolling speed.

5. The control method of claim 3, further comprising: detecting a touch motion on the touch sensitive module to generate a touch signal corresponding to the touch motion; and when the touch signal is received while the electronic apparatus is executing the scrolling function, controlling the electronic apparatus to stop executing the scrolling function.

6. The control method of claim 3, wherein controlling the electronic apparatus to execute the second predetermined function comprises: determining a scrolling distance or a scrolling speed of the scrolling function executed by the electronic apparatus according to a speed of the moving motion determined according to the sensing signal.

7. The control method of claim 6, wherein the speed is a speed at which the moving motion is terminated.

8. The control method of claim 3, wherein controlling the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the sensing signal comprises: when the electronic apparatus is executing the scrolling function and a second moving motion is determined terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a second sensing signal corresponding to the second moving motion, increasing a scrolling distance or a scrolling speed of the scrolling function executed by the electronic apparatus.

9. The control method of claim 1, wherein controlling the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the sensing signal comprises: when a first moving motion is determined terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a first sensing signal corresponding to the first moving motion, and within a specific period of time after the first sensing signal is terminated, a second moving motion is determined terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a second sensing signal corresponding to the second moving motion, controlling the electronic apparatus to execute a third predetermined function which is different from the first predetermined function and the second predetermined function.

10. The control method of claim 9, wherein the third predetermined function is a letter-jumping function.

11. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a touch sensitive module; a controller, coupled to the touch sensitive module, for detecting a moving motion on the touch sensitive module to generate a sensing signal corresponding to the moving motion; and a processing unit, coupled to the controller, for controlling an operation of the electronic apparatus according to the sensing signal; wherein when the processing unit determines that the moving motion is not terminated in a predetermined period of time according to the sensing signal, the processing unit controls the electronic apparatus to execute a first predetermined function; and when the processing unit determines that the moving motion is terminated in the predetermined period of time according to the sensing signal, the processing unit controls the electronic apparatus to execute a second predetermined function which is different from the first predetermined function.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first predetermined function is a panning function, and the second predetermined function is a scrolling function.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processing unit controls the electronic apparatus to execute the scrolling function to scroll at a constant or a decelerating scrolling speed.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 12, wherein the controller further detects a touch motion on the touch sensitive module to generate a touch signal corresponding to the touch motion; and when the processing unit receives the touch signal while the electronic apparatus is executing the scrolling function, the processing unit controls the electronic apparatus to stop executing the scrolling function.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processing unit determines a scrolling distance or a scrolling speed of the scrolling function executed by the electronic apparatus according to a speed of the moving motion determined according to the sensing signal.

16. The electronic apparatus of claim 15, wherein the speed is a speed at which the moving motion is terminated.

17. The electronic apparatus of claim 12, wherein when the electronic apparatus is executing the scrolling function and the processing unit determines that a second moving motion is terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a second sensing signal corresponding to the second moving motion, the processing unit increases a scrolling distance or a scrolling speed of the scrolling function executed by the electronic apparatus.

18. The electronic apparatus of claim 11, wherein when the processing unit determines that a first moving motion is terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a first sensing signal corresponding to the first moving motion, and within a specific period of time after the first sensing signal is terminated, a second moving motion is terminated within the predetermined period of time according to a second sensing signal corresponding to the second moving motion, the processing unit controls the electronic apparatus to execute a third predetermined function which is different from the first predetermined function and the second predetermined function.

19. The electronic apparatus of claim 11, wherein the touch sensitive module comprises a touch pad, a touch panel, or a touch screen.

20. A recording medium containing instructions for performing the method of claim 1.
