UNLOCKING METHOD WITH TOUCH SENSOR
First Claim
1. An unlocking method, for a portable device having a touch sensor, wherein the portable device is in a lock state, the unlocking method comprising:
- receiving a signal generated from an input device by the touch sensor;
sensing a movement of the touch sensor triggered by the input device;
identifying the signal for determining whether or not the input device is an effective unlock device; and
switching the lock state of the portable device to an unlock state when the input device is the effective unlock device, and when the movement is a relative movement of the touch sensor corresponding to a casing of the portable device.

Abstract
An unlocking method with a touch sensor is provided. The method is adapted to a portable device having a touch sensor, wherein the portable device is at a lock state. The method is as follows. First, a signal generated by an input device is received by the touch sensor. Next, a movement of the touch sensor triggered by the input device is sensed. Next, the signal is identified to determine whether or not the input device is an effective unlock device. Finally, when the input device is the effective unlock device and the movement is an effective movement, the lock state of the portable device is switched to an unlock state.

10. An unlocking method, for a portable device having a touch sensor, wherein the portable device is in a lock state, and a compressible space is formed below the touch sensor, the unlocking method comprising:
-
receiving a signal generated from an input device by the touch sensor; detecting a space variation of the compressible space; identifying the signal for determining whether or not the input device is an effective unlock device; and switching the lock state of the portable device to an unlock state when the input device is the effective unlock device, and when the compressible space is decreased. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
