electronic apparatus adopting the method.
[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0005] 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.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010] 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

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a
method of controlling an electronic apparatus according to the
application. The method can be summarized as follows:
[0016] S110: Determine whether a first touch input and a second
touch input on a touch sensitive module are detected. If so, go to
step S120; otherwise, go back to step S110.
[0017] S120: Compare 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 for controlling an operation of the electronic
apparatus.
[0018] Additionally, the application also provides an electronic
apparatus which employs the above-mentioned method. For example,
the electronic apparatus can be a handheld electronic apparatus
(e.g., a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a personal digital
assistant). 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 a block diagram of one exemplary embodiment of an
electronic apparatus 200 which employs the control method of the
application. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic apparatus 200
includes a touch sensitive module 210, a controller 220, and a
processing unit 230. The controller 220 is coupled to the touch
sensitive module 210, and is implemented for detecting a touch
input on the touch sensitive module 210 to generate a sensing
signal corresponding to the touch input. The processing unit 230 is
coupled to controller 220. When the controller 220 detects a first
touch input and a second touch input on the touch sensitive module
210, the processing unit 230 then 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 and second sensing signal
is employed to control an operation of the electronic apparatus
200.
[0019] For example, in an embodiment of the application, the first
parameter of the first touch input is a starting time point of the
first touch input, and the second parameter of the second touch
input is a starting time point of the second touch input. When the
controller 220 detects a first touch input T1 and a second touch
input T2 on the touch sensitive module 210, the processing unit 230
checks the time sequence of starting time points of the first and
second touch inputs T1, T2 according to first and second sensing
signals S1, S2 generated from the first and second touch inputs T1,
T2 respectively, in order to determine which one of the first
sensing signal S1 and the second sensing signal S2 is employed for
controlling the operation of the electronic apparatus 200. In this
embodiment, when the starting time point t2 of the second touch
input T2 is later than the starting time point t1 of the first
touch input T1, the processing unit 230 ignores the first sensing
signal S1 and refers to the second sensing signal S2 to control the
operation of the electronic apparatus 200; on the other hand, when
the starting time point t2 of the second touch input T2 is earlier
than the starting time point t1 of the first touch input T1, the
processing unit 230 ignores the second sensing signal S2 and refers
to the first sensing signal S1 to control the operation of
electronic apparatus 200.
[0020] In addition, in another embodiment of the application, the
first parameter of the first touch input is a displacement value of
the first touch input, and the second parameter of the second touch
input is a displacement value of the second touch input. When the
controller 220 detects a first touch input T1 and a second touch
input T2, the processing unit 230 checks which one of two
displacement values D1, D2 of the first and second touch inputs T1,
T2, exceeds a predetermined displacement value D first according to
the first and second sensing signals S1, S2 generated from the
first and second touch inputs T1, T2 respectively, in order to
determine which one of the first sensing signal S1 and the second
sensing signal S2 is employed to control the operation of the
electronic apparatus 200. In this embodiment, when the displacement
value D2 of the second touch input T2 exceeds the predetermined
displacement value D earlier than the displacement value D1 of the
first touch input T1, the processing unit 230 ignores the first
sensing signal S1 and refers to the second sensing signal S2 to
control the operation of the electronic apparatus 200; on the other
hand, when the displacement value D2 of the second touch input T2
exceeds the predetermined displacement value D later than the
displacement value D1 of the first touch input T1, the processing
unit 230 ignores the second sensing signal S2 and refers to the
first sensing signal S1 to control the operation of the electronic
apparatus 200.
[0021] Please note that, in the application, parameters of touch
inputs (e.g., T1 and T2) are not limited to starting time points of
touch inputs (e.g., t1 and t2) and displacement values of touch
inputs (e.g., D1 and D2). In practice, the processing unit may
compare any parameter of touch inputs to select one of the sensing
signals generated from the touch inputs to control the operation of
the electronic apparatus. This design variation is still within the
scope of the application.
[0022] The following will further address the above two embodiments
of the method for controlling an electronic apparatus according to
the application. Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart
illustrating a first embodiment of a method for controlling an
electronic apparatus according to the application. The steps of the
control method are briefly summarized as follows:
[0023] S310: Determine whether a first touch input on a touch
sensitive module is detected. If so, go to step S320; otherwise, go
back to step S310;
[0024] S320: Determine whether a second touch input is detected
while the first touch input is not terminated yet. If so, go to
step S330; otherwise, go back to step S310;
[0025] S330: Ignore a first sensing signal generated from the first
touch input, and control the operation of the electronic apparatus
according to a second sensing signal generated from the second
touch input.
[0026] Taking the electronic apparatus 200 for example, when the
controller 220 detects a first touch input on the touch sensitive
module 210 and generates a first sensing signal in response to the
first touch input, and then detects a second touch input and
generates a second touch sensing signal in response to the second
touch input while the first touch input is not terminated yet, the
processing unit ignores the first touch sensing signal generated
from the first touch input and controls the operation of the
electronic apparatus 200 according to the second sensing signal
generated from the second touch input. For example, when a user's
finger touches the touch sensitive module 210 one after another,
the controller 220 detects a touch input T1 from the finger
touching the touch sensitive module 210 first to generate a sensing
signal S1, and then detects another touch input T2 from the finger
touching the touch sensitive module 210 later to generate another
sensing signal S2, the processing unit 230 will ignore the sensing
signal S1 and control the operation of the electronic apparatus 200
according the sensing signal S2.
[0027] In addition, the processing unit 230 further determines a
displacement value of a touch input according to the sensing
signal. The displacement value corresponds to a moving distance of
user's finger on the touch sensitive module 210. Only when the
processing unit 230 determines that the displacement value D2 of
the touch input T2 exceeds a predetermined displacement value D
according to the sensing signal S2, the processing unit 230
controls the electronic apparatus 200 to execute a specific
function according to sensing signal S2. On the other hand, when
the processing unit 230 determines that the displacement value D2
of the touch input T2 does not exceed the predetermined
displacement value D according to the sensing signal S2, the
processing unit 230 does not control the electronic apparatus 200
to execute the specific function. For example, the specific
function can be a panning function. Therefore, when the processing
unit 230 determines that the displacement value D2 of the touch
input T2 exceeds the predetermined displacement value D according
to the sensing signal S2, the processing unit 230 controls the
electronic apparatus 200 to execute the panning function to pan a
page displayed on a screen of a mobile phone according to the
sensing signal S2. In another example, the specific function can be
a scrolling function. Therefore, when the processing unit 230
determines that the displacement value D2 of the touch input T2
exceeds the predetermined displacement value D according to the
sensing signal S2, the processing unit 230 controls the electronic
apparatus 200 to execute the scrolling function to scroll a page
displayed on a screen of a mobile phone according to the sensing
signal S2. However, the aforementioned examples are for
illustrative purposes only, and are not meant to be limitations of
the application. In addition, as those skilled in the art should
readily comprehend how to control the electronic apparatus 200 to
execute the specific function according to the sensing signal S2,
further description is therefore omitted here for the sake of
brevity.
[0028] In this embodiment, only within a predetermined period of
time t (e.g., within 3 seconds) after the controller 220 detects
the touch input T2, the processing unit 230 ignores the sensing
signal S1 corresponding to the touch input T1 and controls the
electronic apparatus 200 according to the sensing signal S2
corresponding to the touch input T2. If the displacement value D2
of the touch input T2 does not exceed the predetermined
displacement value D, and therefore the processing unit 230 does
not control the electronic apparatus 230 to execute the specific
function according to the sensing signal S2 within the
predetermined period of time t after the controller 220 detects the
touch input T2, the processing unit 230 will no longer ignore the
sensing signal S1 corresponding to the touch input T1 and will
refer to one of the sensing signals S1, S2 corresponding to the
touch inputs T1, T2 respectively to control the operation of the
electronic apparatus 200 beyond the predetermined period of time t.
For example, in this embodiment, when the processing unit 230
determines that the displacement value D2 of the touch input T2
exceeds the predetermined displacement value D earlier than the
displacement value D1 of the touch input T1, the processing unit
230 ignores the first sensing signal S1 and controls the operation
of the electronic apparatus 200 to execute the specific function
according to the second sensing signal S2; on the other hand, when
the processing unit 230 determines that the displacement value D2
of the touch input T2 exceeds the predetermined displacement value
D later than the displacement value D1 of the touch input T1, the
processing unit 230 ignores the second sensing signal S2 and
controls the operation of the electronic apparatus 200 to execute
the specific function according to the first sensing signal S1. In
other words, the processing unit 230 controls the electronic
apparatus 200 to execute the specific function according to a
sensing signal generated from the touch input whose displacement
value exceeds the predetermined displacement value D first.
[0029] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that
when two of user's fingers are both moving on the touch sensitive
module 210, the processing unit 30 ignores the sensing signal S1
generated from the touch input T1 of the finger firstly touching
the touch sensitive module 210 and controls the operation of the
electronic apparatus 200 according to the sensing signal S2
generated from the touch input T2 of the finger touching the touch
sensitive module 210 later, within the predetermined period of time
t after the controller 220 detects the touch input T2. After a
predetermined period of time t is expired, the processing unit 230
controls the operation of the electronic apparatus 200 according to
a sensing signal generated from the touch input whose displacement
value exceeds the predetermined displacement value D first. In
another embodiment of the application, when two of the user's
fingers are both moving on the touch sensitive module 210 and the
controller 220 detects touch inputs T1, T2 respectively, the
processing unit 230 can directly control the operation of the
electronic apparatus 200 according to a sensing signal generated
from the touch input whose displacement value exceeds the
predetermined displacement value D first.
[0030] Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating
of a second embodiment of a method for controlling an electronic
apparatus according to the application. The control method is
briefly summarized as follows:
[0031] S410: Determine whether a first touch input and a second
touch input on a touch sensitive module are detected. If so, go to
step S420; otherwise, go back to step S410;
[0032] S420: Determine whether a first displacement value of the
first touch input exceeds a predetermined displacement value. If
so, go to step S440; otherwise, go to step S430;
[0033] S430: Determine whether a second displacement value of the
second touch input exceeds the predetermined displacement value. If
so, go to step S450; otherwise, go to step S420;
[0034] S440: Ignore a second sensing signal generated from the
second touch input, and control an operation of the electronic
apparatus according to a first sensing signal generated from the
first touch input;
[0035] S450: Ignore the first sensing signal generated from the
first touch input, and control the operation of the electronic
apparatus according to the second sensing signal generated from the
second touch input.
[0036] After reading the aforementioned description directed to the
method of controlling the electronic apparatus 200, those skilled
in the art should readily understand steps of the control method
shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, further description is omitted here for
the sake of brevity. In addition, if the result is substantially
the same, the steps shown in FIG. 4 are not required to be executed
in the exact order as demonstrated in FIG. 4.
[0037] In the above embodiments, the electronic apparatus comprises
a smartphone, a PDA (personal digital assistance), or a PDA
phone.
[0038] In the above embodiment, the touch sensitive module
comprises a touch pad, a touch panel, or a touch screen.
[0039] The application also provides a recording medium for
recording a computer program adopted to execute the aforementioned
control method of the electronic apparatus. The computer program is
basically composed of multiple program code fragments (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 fragments are loaded and executed in an
electronic apparatus (e.g., the electronic apparatus 200),
above-mentioned steps and functions of the aforementioned control
method of the electronic apparatus are then accomplished.
[0040] In summary, the application provides a control method of an
electronic apparatus, and an electronic apparatus employing the
control method, where one of the two touch inputs is employed for
controlling the operation of an electronic apparatus based on the
sequence or the corresponding displacement values of the touch
inputs. In this way, the issue of electronic apparatus misjudgment,
resulting from accidental touch inputs from other parts of the user
