Electronic control apparatus and method for responsively controlling media content displayed on portable electronic device
First Claim
1. An electronic control apparatus for use with a portable electronic device integrated with a display comprising a display field for displaying a media content comprising:
- a motion sensing module, having sensing circuitry, configured to generate a sensing signal with an acceleration value; and
a processing unit, having processing circuitry, the processing unit configured to process the sensing signal and determine whether the acceleration value is greater than a first threshold acceleration value such that the processing unit controls the display to display a previous or next image of the media content responsive to the acceleration value being greater than the first threshold acceleration value;
wherein a second threshold acceleration value is greater than the first threshold acceleration value, and the processing unit is configured to determine whether the acceleration value is greater than the second threshold acceleration value such that the processing unit controls the display to switch to a first image or a last image of the media content on the display field thereof, responsive to the acceleration value being greater than the second threshold acceleration value.

Abstract
An electronic control apparatus including motion sensors is integrated in a portable electronic device to responsively control a media content stored in the portable electronic device, in response to motion sensor signals to flip, zoom, displace images/pages of the media content displayed on a display field of a display thereof. Accordingly, a responsive control method includes the steps of: presetting a first threshold angle; sensing an first rotation angle of the portable electronic device to send out a first rotation sensing signal as a rotation of a yaw, pitch or roll of a portable electronic device detected by a sensing module including motion sensors; and receiving the first rotation sensing signal to calculate and determine whether the first rotation angle is greater than the first threshold angle to responsively control a media content stored in an electronic control apparatus be flipped, zoomed or displaced when the first rotation angle is greater than the first threshold angle.

11. A method for controlling media content displayed on a display field of a display of a portable electronic device, the control method comprising:
-
presetting a first threshold acceleration value and a second threshold acceleration value; determining an acceleration value using a motion sensing module; determining whether the acceleration value is greater than the first threshold acceleration value; controlling the display such that a previous or next image of the media content is displayed on the display field when the acceleration value is greater than the first threshold acceleration value; determining whether the acceleration value is greater than the second threshold acceleration value; and controlling the display such that a first image or a last image of the media content is displayed on the display field when the acceleration value is greater than the second threshold acceleration value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
