HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A handheld electronic device, comprising:
- a body, having a first side and a second side opposite to each other;
a control module, disposed in the body;
a first sound outputting module, disposed on the first side of the body and coupled to the control module;
a second sound outputting module, disposed on the second side of the body and coupled to the control module;
a first sound receiving module, disposed on the second side of the body and coupled to the control module;
a second sound receiving module, disposed on the first side of the body and coupled to the control module; and
a motion detecting module, disposed in the body and coupled to the control module, whereinwhen the motion detecting module detects that the body is located at a first orientation and that the handheld electronic device is in a first operation mode, the first sound outputting module and the first sound receiving module are enabled by the control module;
when the motion detecting module detects that the body is located at a second orientation and that the handheld electronic device is in a second operation mode, the second sound outputting module and the second sound receiving module are enabled by the control module.

Abstract
A handheld electronic device and an operating method thereof are provided, in which at least two sets of sound outputting modules and sound receiving modules are disposed in the handheld electronic device. The operating method detects an orientation of the handheld electronic device by a motion detecting module and enables different sets of the sound outputting modules and the sound receiving modules according to a variation of the orientation of the handheld electronic device, so as to change a direction of a call operation, and thus a user can successfully make a phone call, even if the handheld electronic device is held upside down. Furthermore, the operating method can control the sound outputting modules and the sound receiving modules individually or collectively according to actual demands to achieve a multifunctional product design.
