Abstract

A method of controlling permission and a touch link electronic device utilizing the same are described. The method of controlling permission, arranged for a first touch link electronic device, includes: establishing, by a touch panel of the first touch link electronic device, a communication channel to a second touch link electronic device; receiving a message from the second touch link electronic device via the communication channel; and determining permission of the second touch link electronic device according to the message, wherein the permission indicates operation permission of the second touch link electronic device on the first touch link electronic device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the permission comprises:

matching, by a control module, the message to data in a database of the first touch link electronic device to determine the permission of the second touch link electronic device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the step of determining the permission comprises:

when no match to the message is found in the database, determining a most limited permission as the permission of the second touch link electronic device.

7. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

analyzing, by an analysis module of the first touch link electronic device, the property message to obtain property information of the second touch link electronic device;

wherein the control module determines the permission of the second touch link electronic device according to the property information.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing, by a control module, the operation permission to the second touch link electronic device.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

responding a response message to the second touch link electronic device via the communication channel, wherein the response message contains the permission.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an instruction from the second touch link electronic device via the communication channel, wherein the instruction instructs at least one operation;

determining whether the instruction should be performed based on the permission; and

performing the instruction when the at least one operation complies with the permission.

11. A touch link electronic device, comprising:

a touch panel;

a touch link module, configured to establish a communication channel to a second touch link electronic device, and receive a message from the second touch link electronic device via the communication channel; and

a control module, configured to determine permission of the second touch link electronic device according to the message, wherein the permission indicates operation permission of the second touch link electronic device on the first touch link electronic device.

12. The touch link electronic device of claim 11, wherein the touch link module includes:

a sensing module, configured to determine whether the touch link electronic device is in close proximity to the second touch link electronic device; and

a connection module, configured to establish the communication channel via the touch link module when the sensing module determines that the touch link electronic device and the second touch link electronic device are in close proximity.

13. The touch link electronic device of claim 12, wherein when a distance between the first and the second touch link electronic devices is less than or equal to 5 millimeters, the sensing module is configured to determine that the touch link electronic device is in close proximity to the second touch link electronic device.

14. The touch link electronic device of claim 11, wherein the message is a property message of the second touch link electronic device.

15. The touch link electronic device of claim 14, wherein the control module is configured to determine the permission of the second touch link electronic device according to the property message.

16. The touch link electronic device of claim 11, further comprising a database;

wherein the control module is configured to match the message to data in the database to determine the permission of the second touch link electronic device.

17. The touch link electronic device of claim 16, wherein when no match to the message is found in the database, the control module is configured to determine a most limited permission as the permission of the second touch link electronic device.

18. The touch link electronic device of claim 14, wherein the control module further comprises an analysis module, configured to analyze the property message to obtain a property information of the second touch link electronic device;

and

the control module is configured to determine the permission of the second touch link electronic device according to the property.
