Abstract

A control unit of an electronic touch display apparatus, comprising: a touch signal receiving module for receiving a touch signal; a recognition module, coupled to the touch signal receiving module, for recognizing an indicated page number from the control signal; and a data processing module, coupled to the recognition module, for accessing data corresponding to the page number from a database; wherein the data are displayed on a screen of the electronic touch display apparatus, and the indicated page number may be non-adjacent to a page number corresponding to the current displayed page.

Claims

1. A control unit, for use in an electronic touch display apparatus, comprising:

a touch signal receiving module, for receiving a touch signal;

a recognition module, coupled to the touch signal receiving module, for recognizing an indicated page number from the touch signal; and

a data processing module, coupled to the recognition module, for accessing data corresponding to the indicated page number;

wherein the data are displayed on a screen of the electronic touch-screen display apparatus.

2. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the indicated page number is non-adjacent to a page number corresponding to a currently displayed page.

3. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the recognition module starts recognizing the indicated page number of the touch signal after the touch signal receiving module receives a page turning signal.

4. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is an e-book device.

5. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is a tablet computer.

6. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is a touch phone.

7. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus comprises a handwriting pad, which senses a touch to generate the touch signal.

8. A page turning method for use in a touch display apparatus, comprising:

receiving a touch signal;

recognizing an indicated page number associated with the touch signal;

accessing data corresponding to the page number; and

displaying the data.

9. The page turning method for an electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the indicated page number is non-adjacent to a page number corresponding to the current displayed page.

10. The page turning method for an electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising:

receiving a page turning signal; and

starting to recognize the indicated page number from the touch signal after the touch signal receiving module receives the page turning signal.

11. An electronic touch display apparatus, comprising:

a touch device, for detecting a touch thereupon to generate a touch signal;

a memory, storing a database; and

a control unit, coupled to the touch device and the memory, for receiving the touch signal, recognizing an indicated page number associated with the touch signal, accessing data corresponding to the indicated page number from the database, and displaying the data on a screen.

12. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the indicated page number is non-adjacent to a page number corresponding to the current displayed page.

13. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the control unit starts recognizing the indicated page number of the touch signal after receiving a page turning signal.

14. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is an e-book device.

15. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is a tablet computer.

16. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus is a touch phone.

17. The electronic touch display apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the electronic touch display apparatus comprises a handwritingpad.
