Portable device control method using an electric pen and portable device thereof
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a portable device using an electric pen, the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless communication between the portable device and the electric pen;
generating a first event in response to detecting, via the wireless communication, an input on a button of the electric pen, if the electric pen is hovering over the portable device under a distance less than a threshold from the portable device;
performing a first control operation corresponding to the first event, the first control operation being associated with an application executed currently, the first control operation including a conversion to a writing mode;
generating a second event in response to detecting the distance between the electric pen and the portable device exceeds the threshold while the input on the button of the electric pen is maintained; and
in response to generating the second event, after generating the first event, performing a second control operation corresponding to the second event of the portable device, the second control operation comprising a conversion from the writing mode.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a portable device using an electric pen, and a portable device thereof, and more particularly, to a method of controlling a portable device using an electric pen capable of controlling the portable device based on an interrupt event generated by a manipulation of the electric pen, and a portable device thereof.
The method includes controlling a portable device using an electric pen, including sensing an interrupt event by manipulation of the electric pen positioned in a area within a sensible distance of the electric pen, sensing separation of the electric pen from the area within the sensible distance, and performing a control operation of the portable device in response to the separation.

14. A portable device comprising:
-
a display configured to display information; a controller configured to; generate a first event in response to detecting an input on a button of a electric pen, if the electric pen is hovering over the portable device under a distance less than a threshold from the portable device; perform a first control operation corresponding to the first event, the first control operation being associated with an application executed currently, the first control operation including a conversion to a writing mode; generate a second event in response to detecting the distance between the electric pen and the portable device exceeds the threshold while the input on the button of the electric pen is maintained; and in response to generating the second event after generating the first event, perform a second control operation corresponding to the second event of the portable device, the second control operation comprising a conversion from the writing mode. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
