ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH TOUCH INPUT FUNCTION AND TOUCH INPUT METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first touch panel and a second touch panel both configured to produce touch signals in response to user operations;
a first touch controller connected to the first touch panel and configured to determine touch information including a touch position and a touch path when receiving the touch signals from the first touch panel;
a second touch controller connected to the second touch panel and configured to determine touch information including a touch position and a touch path when receiving the touch signals from the second touch panel;
a processing unit connected to both the first touch controller and the second touch controller and configured to receive touch information from the first touch controller and the second touch controller;
wherein, if the processing unit only receives the touch information from the first touch controller, the processing unit sets a touch mode of the electronic device to a single-surface touch mode, and determines the gesture of the user operations according to the touch information from the first touch controller and executes the function associated with the gesture in the single-surface touch mode;
if the processing unit receives the touch information both from the first touch controller and from the second touch controller, the processing unit sets the electronic device to a double-surface touch mode, and determines a combined gesture of the user operations according to the touch information from the first touch controller and the second touch controller and executes the function associated with the combined gesture in the double-surface touch mode.

Abstract
An electronic device, includes a first touch panel, a second touch panel, a processing unit, a first touch controller and a second touch controller, the first and the second touch controller are used to determine touch information according to touch signals produced by the first touch panel and the second touch panel respectively. The processing unit determines the touch mode is a single-surface touch mode if only receives the touch information from the first touch controller, and determines gesture according to the touch information and executes the function associated with the gesture. The processing unit determines the touch mode is a double-surface touch mode if receives the touch information from both the first touch controller and the second touch controller, determines an combined gesture according to the touch information from the first and the second touch controller, and executes function associated with the combined gesture.
