Abstract

A shadeless touch hand-held electronic device, a touch-sensing cover and a computer-executed method are disclosed. The hand-held electronic device detects a data structure of electronic data stored therein hand-held electronic device and generates a corresponding link instruction. The hand-held electronic device comprises a touch-sensing cover, a display panel and a control unit. The touch-sensing cover comprises a cover and a touch-sensing structure disposed on the cover. The display panel displays information corresponding to the electronic data. The control unit coupled to the touch-sensing cover and the display panel executes following steps of: detecting at least one data structure of electronic data; linking to at least one link instruction corresponding to the data structure; enabling the detected data structure to be selected for input; and executing the link instruction linked to the selected data structure according to an input operation received by the touch-sensing structure.
