Input method for touch panel and related touch panel and electronic device
First Claim
1. An input method for a touch panel comprising:
- displaying a plurality of selecting objects each corresponding to a control signal;
only enlarging a first selecting object and a plurality of neighboring selecting objects selected by a touch event in the plurality of selecting objects by a pop-up display method because the first selecting object is not precisely selected by the touch event and before the touch event is ended, wherein the touch event is caused by an object touching on the touch panel at a first position, and ended by the object leaving the touch panel at a second position;
receiving a direction indication signal corresponding to a direction toward the second position from the first position, wherein the direction toward the second position from the first position substantially parallels with a direction from a center of a pop-up display toward the enlarged first selecting object within the pop-up display, and the pop-up display is generated by the pop-up display method for only enlarging the first selecting object and the plurality of neighboring selecting objects; and
outputting a control signal corresponding to the first selecting object according to the direction indication signal, to determine the first selecting object is selected;
wherein the pop-up display for enlarging the plurality of neighboring selecting objects in the plurality of selecting objects is located other than where the touch event is located.
