Abstract

A hand-held electronic device comprises a touch-sensing cover, a panel and a control unit. The touch-sensing cover comprises a cover and a touch-sensing structure. Partial or total area of the touch-sensing structure is disposed on the cover and the touch-sensing structure comprises a plurality of detection points. The control unit is electrically connected with the touch-sensing cover and the panel and executes following steps of: computing a trigger event of the detection points; comparing the trigger event with an initiative determination condition pre-stored in the hand-held electronic device; permitting the touch-sensing structure to receive at least one input action inputted by a user if the trigger event conforms to the initiative determination condition; and executing an opening or closing of the hand-held electronic device by the input action. Therefore, the finger can be prevented from shading user'"'"'s view.

Claims

1. A hand-held electronic device, comprising:

a touch-sensing cover comprising a cover and a touch-sensing structure, wherein partial or total area of the touch-sensing structure is disposed on the cover and the touch-sensing structure comprises a plurality of detection points;

a panel; and

a control unit electrically connected with the touch-sensing cover and the panel and executing following steps of;

computing a trigger event of the detection points;

comparing the trigger event with an initiative determination condition pre-stored in the hand-held electronic device;

permitting the touch-sensing structure to receive at least an input action inputted by a user if the trigger event conforms to the initiative determination condition; and

executing an opening or a closing of the hand-held electronic device by the input action.

2. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a conversation state, the closing to end the conversation is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

3. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and opening an application program, the closing to close the application program is executed by to the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

4. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and no application program opened, the closing to turn off the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

5. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and no application program opened, the opening to open an application program of the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a stretch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

6. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a shutdown state, the opening to turn on the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a stretch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

7. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the touch-sensing structure is a single-layer structure of a double-layer structure.

8. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein a wiring connecting to the touch-sensing structure is gathered to a single side for wiring outlet.

9. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein a width of the touch-sensing structure is less than that of the cover by 5%˜

10%.

10. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the area of the touch-sensing structure has a ratio relationship to the area of the panel, and the control unit converts an input position of the touch-sensing structure to a display position of the panel according to the ratio relationship.

11. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the user operates the hand-held electronic device by one hand, and the touch-sensing cover faces a light source or the back of the panel faces the light source.

12. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the touch-sensing structure is capable of a wireless power transmission.

13. The hand-held electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the touch-sensing cover further comprises a near field communication unit, which comprises a near field communication chip and an antenna, the near field communication chip is electrically connected with the control unit, and the antenna is disposed on the cover or the touch-sensing structure.

14. A computer-executed method applied to a hand-held electronic device comprising a touch-sensing cover, a panel and a control unit, the method executing, on the hand-held electronic device, following steps of:

computing a trigger event of a plurality of detection points on the touch-sensing cover;

comparing the trigger event with an initiative determination condition pre-stored in the hand-held electronic device;

permitting the touch-sensing cover to receive at least an input action inputted by a user if the trigger event conforms to the initiative determination condition; and

executing an opening or closing of the hand-held electronic device by the input action.

15. The computer-executed method as recited in claim 14, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a conversation state, the closing to end the conversation is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

16. The computer-executed method as recited in claim 14, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and opening an application program, the closing to close the application program is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

17. The computer-executed method as recited in claim 14, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and no application program opened, the closing to turn off the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a pinch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

18. The computer-executed method as recited in claim 14, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a non-conversation state and no application program opened, the opening to open an application program of the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a stretch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.

19. The computer-executed method as recited in claim 14, wherein when the hand-held electronic device is in a shutdown state, the opening to turn on the hand-held electronic device is executed by the input action if the input action is a simultaneous contact or a stretch slide of two fingers on the touch-sensing cover.
