OPERATION METHOD OF TOUCH PAD WITH MULTIPLE FUNCTION MODES, INTEGRATION SYSTEM THEREOF, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT USING THE OPERATION METHOD
First Claim
1. An operation method of a touch pad with multiple function modes, wherein the touch pad is set to a first function mode, the operation method comprising:
- receiving a first signal, and determining whether the first signal conforms to a trigger condition;
if the first signal conforms to the trigger condition and exists continuously, switching the touch pad from the first function mode to a second function mode and maintaining the touch pad in the second function mode, wherein the second function mode comprises a plurality of functions of a second kind, and each of the second kind of functions is respectively corresponding to an area on the touch pad;
receiving a second signal through the touch pad, and the first signal still existing; and
executing a corresponding one of the second kind of functions according to a coordinate variation corresponding to the second signal.

Abstract
A touch pad operation method with multiple function modes, an integration system, and a computer program product are provided. A first signal is received and whether the first signal conforms to a trigger condition is determined. If the first signal conforms to the trigger condition and exists continuously, the touch pad is switched from a first function mode to a second function mode and maintained therein. The second function mode includes a plurality of functions of a second kind, and each of these functions is respectively corresponding to an area on the touch pad. When a second signal is received through the touch pad and the first signal still exists, one of the second kind of functions is executed according to a coordinate variation corresponding to the second signal. Thereby, the functionality of the touch pad is not limited by its original settings and the convenience of operation is increased.
