Electronic device with dynamically adjusted touch area
First Claim
1. An electronic device having a touch panel, the touch panel comprising:
- a first touch area that corresponds to a first function;
a second touch area that corresponds to a second function; and
an overlapped touch area, comprising at least part of the first touch area and at least part of the second touch area;
wherein when a touch input on the touch panel is started from the overlapped touch area, a touch time of the touch input is within a threshold time, and a moving distance of the touch input is within a threshold distance, the overlapped touch area is responsive to the touch input to have the electronic device perform the first function.

Abstract
A method for adjusting at least a area of a touch screen wherein the touch panel comprises a first touch area and a second touch area, the first touch area is responsive to a stationary touch and corresponds to a first function, and the second touch area is responsive to a sliding touch and corresponds to a second function, includes: defining an overlapped touch area comprising at least part of the first touch area and at least part of the second touch area; receiving a touch input on the touch panel; when the touch input is started from the overlapped touch area, calculating a moving distance of the touch input and a touch time of the touch input; and when the touch time is within a threshold time, and the moving distance exceeds a threshold distance, setting the overlapped touch area to correspond to the second function.
