Abstract

An electronic device having a processor, a contact sensor, a blow sensor, and a storage device is disclosed. The processor senses at least one contact position via the contact sensor. The processor senses a blow action via the blow sensor. Then, the processor determines, based on the at least one contact position and/or the blow action, a predefined function and performs the predefined function.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a contact sensor;

a processor; and

a storage device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;

detect, on the contact sensor, at least one contact position;

determine, in response to the at least one contact position, a predefined function; and

perform the predefined function.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising instructions to cause the processor to:

determine, in response to the at least one contact position, a contact mode; and

determine, in response to the contact mode, the predefined function.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2, wherein the contact mode is defined by a number of contact positions on each side of the electronic device.

4. An electronic device, comprising:

a blow sensor;

a processor; and

a storage device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;

detect, by the blow sensor, a blow action;

determine, in response to the blow action, a predefined function; and

perform the predefined function.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the blow sensor is a sound sensor.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5, further comprising instructions to cause the processor to:

detect, by the sound sensor, a sound information of the blow action; and

determine, in response to the sound information, the predefined function.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the sound information includes sound intensity of the blow action and the electronic device further comprises instructions to cause the processor to:

determine, by comparing the sound intensity of the blow action with a predetermined value, a blow mode; and

determine, in response to the blow mode, the predefined function.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the sound information includes a length of the blow action and the electronic device further comprises instructions to cause the processor to:

determine, by comparing the length of the blow action with a predetermined time, a blow mode; and

determine, in response to the blow mode, the predefined function.

9. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the sound information includes sound intensity and a length of the blow action and the electronic device further comprises instructions to cause the processor to:

determine, by comparing the sound intensity of the blow action with a predetermined value and comparing the length of the blow action with a predetermined time, a blow mode; and

determine, in response to the blow mode, the predefined function.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

a contact sensor;

a blow sensor;

a processor; and

a storage device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;

detect, on the contact sensor, at least one contact position;

detect, by the blow sensor, a blow action;

determine, in response to the at least one contact position and the blow action, a predefined function; and

perform the predefined function.
