Abstract

A browsing system and method thereof are applied in an electronic apparatus to browse a document data. The scope of the document data is greater than a screen of the electronic apparatus. The browsing system at least comprises a detection unit and a display processing unit. The detection unit is used to detect a displacement and a displacement direction generated by the electrical apparatus while moving. The display processing unit is used to enable the electronic apparatus to display a corresponding screen of the document data based on the displacement and the displacement direction. The browsing system can be activated and the zoom-in or the zoom-out of the document data can be controlled through an operation interface of the electronic apparatus.

Claims

1. A browsing system, applicable for an electronic apparatus for browsing a document data, the scope of said document data being greater than a screen of said electronic apparatus, and said browsing system comprising:

a detection unit for detecting a displacement and a displacement direction generated by said electronic apparatus while moving; and

a display processing unit for enabling said electronic apparatus to display a corresponding screen of said document data based on said displacement and said displacement direction.

2. The browsing system of claim 1, wherein said electronic apparatus is one of a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone or a graphic browser.

3. The browsing system of claim 1, wherein said electronic apparatus comprises a display for displaying said document data.

4. The browsing system of claim 1, wherein said electronic apparatus comprises an operation interface.

5. The browsing system of claim 4, wherein said operation interface is for controlling the zoom-in of said document data.

6. The browsing system of claim 4, wherein said operation interface is for controlling the zoom-out of said document data.

7. The browsing system of claim 1, wherein said detection unit is an infrared ray sensor.

8. The browsing system of claim 1, wherein said document data is a picture file or a script file.

9. A browsing method for browsing a document data through an electronic apparatus, the scope of said document data being greater than a screen of said electronic apparatus, and said browsing method comprising:

displaying a portion of said document data on said screen of said electronic apparatus;

detecting a displacement and a displacement direction generated by said electronic apparatus moving; and

enabling said screen of said electronic apparatus to display a corresponding screen of said document data based on said displacement and said displacement direction.

10. The browsing method of claim 9, further comprising the step of using one of a PDA, a mobile phone or a graphic browser to be said electronic apparatus.

11. The browsing method of claim 9, further comprising the step of disposing a display to said electronic apparatus for displaying said document data.

12. The browsing method of claim 9, further comprising the step of providing an infrared ray sensor to detect said displacement and said displacement direction.

13. The browsing method of claim 9, further comprising the step of providing a picture file or a script file to be said document data.

14. The browsing method of claim 9, further comprising the step of providing an operation interface.

15. The browsing method of claim 14, further comprising the step of providing the zoom-in of said document data to be said operation interface.

16. The browsing method of claim 14, further comprising the step of providing the zoom-out of said document data to be said operation interface.
