Abstract

The disclosure provides a touch-sensitive electronic device and a touch module thereof. The touch-sensitive electronic device includes a touch module and a power supply module. The touch module includes a touch panel, a touch-sensitive area and a signal processing module. The touch-sensitive area is for receiving the touch of a user to generate a touch signal. The signal processing module is electrically connected with the touch-sensitive area for processing the touch signal to generate the control signal to control the touch-sensitive electronic device. The power supply module is electrically connected to the touch module for continuously supplying power to the signal processing module and the touch-sensitive area; wherein the touch-sensitive area can receive the touch of the user to generate the touch signal when the touch panel is activated or not activated.

Claims

1. A touch-sensitive electronic device, comprising:

a touch module, including;

a touch panel for displaying a picture;

a touch-sensitive area for receiving a touch of a user to generate a touch signal; and

a signal processing module electrically connected with the touch-sensitive area for processing the touch signal to generate a control signal to control the touch-sensitive electronic device; and

a power supply module electrically connected with the touch module for continuously supplying power to the signal processing module and the touch-sensitive area,

wherein the touch-sensitive area can receive the touch of the user to generate the touch signal when the touch panel is activated or not activated.

2. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the touch module further comprises a database for storing a coordinates corresponding table, the database is electrically connected with the signal processing module;

when the signal processing module receives the touch signal, the signal processing module queries the coordinates corresponding table to generate the control signal correspondingly.

3. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under a power-off state, the touch-sensitive area still can allow the user to operate to generate the touch signal, so that the signal processing module generates the control signal accordingly to control the touch-sensitive electronic device.

4. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the touch-sensitive area comprises a power-on control button, when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under the power-off state, the power-on control button still can be operated by the user so that the signal processing module generates a power-on control signal accordingly to control the touch-sensitive electronic device to execute the power-on procedure.

5. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the touch-sensitive area comprises a volume control button, when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under a sleep state, the volume control button still can be operated by the user.

6. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the touch-sensitive area is provided at a portion of the touch panel.

7. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the touch-sensitive area is provided at one of the top, bottom, left or right side of the touch panel.

8. The touch-sensitive electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the touch-sensitive area is provided at a side surface of the touch-sensitive electronic device.

9. A touch module for a touch-sensitive electronic device and receiving power form a power supply module, the touch module comprising:

a touch panel for displaying a picture;

a touch-sensitive area for receiving a touch of a user to generate a touch signal; and

a signal processing module electrically connected with the touch-sensitive area for processing the touch signal to generate a control signal to control the touch-sensitive electronic device;

wherein the signal processing module and the touch-sensitive area receive power from the power supply module continuously;

wherein the touch-sensitive area can receive the touch of the user to generate the touch signal both when the touch panel is activated or not activated.

10. The touch module according to claim 9, further comprising:

a database for storing a coordinates corresponding table, the database is electrically connected with the signal processing module;

when the signal processing module receives the touch signal, the signal processing module queries the coordinates corresponding table to generate the control signal correspondingly.

11. The touch module according to claim 9, wherein when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under a power-off state, the touch-sensitive area still can allow the user to operate to generate the touch signal, so that the signal processing module generates the control signal accordingly to control the touch-sensitive electronic device.

12. The touch module according to claim 11, wherein the touch-sensitive area comprises a power-on control button, when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under the power-off state, the power-on control button still can be operated by the user so that the signal processing module generates a power-on control signal accordingly to control the touch-sensitive electronic device to execute the power-on procedure.

13. The touch module according to claim 9, wherein the touch-sensitive area comprises a volume control button, when the touch-sensitive electronic device is under a sleep state, the volume control button still can be operated by the user.

14. The touch module according to claim 9, wherein the touch-sensitive area is provided at a portion of the touch panel.

15. The touch module according to claim 9, wherein the touch-sensitive area is provided at one of the top, bottom, left or right side of the touch panel.
