1. A method of handling a fall event of a mobile electronic device comprising:
- determining whether a falling distance of the mobile electronic device exceeds a predetermined distance;
detecting a sensor variation of the mobile electronic device within a predetermined time period after the falling distance of the mobile electronic device is determined to exceed the predetermined distance; and
activating an alarm and/or transmitting a notification related to the fall event based on the detected sensor variation of the mobile electronic device.

Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a method of handling a fall event for use by a handheld mobile electronic device, and a handheld mobile electronic device using the same method. Accordingly, the handheld mobile electronic device first detects a fall event. In response to the fall event determined to have exceeded a predetermined distance, the device would detect whether the device has moved or has experienced a pressure variation within a time period after the fall event has ended. If the result is negative, the device would activate an alarm and transmit a notification related to the fall event.
