HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE, INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF, AND DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An input device for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
- a directional input interface, for generating an input signal to control a first application program and/or a second application program executed at the same time;
a first application program module, for triggering the first application program according to a first type interface event;
a second application program module, for triggering the second application program according to a second type interface event; and
a judgment module, coupled to the directional input interface, the first application program module, and the second application program module, for determining whether to send the input signal to the first application program module as the first type interface event or to the second application program module as the second type interface event according to a plurality of coordinates of the input signal.

Abstract
A handheld electronic device, an input device and an input method thereof, and a display device and a display method thereof are provided. A display interface in the display device is divided into at least two portions so as to display the operation images of different application programs in the display interface at the same time. The operation images of the application programs are operated by using a single directional input interface of the input device. In the present invention, the function described above can be achieved without modifying the application programs by using only one touch screen including a display interface and a directional input interface. Thereby, the hardware cost of the handheld electronic device and the complexity for implementing the application programs of the handheld electronic device can be both reduced.
