Portable electronis device and the mode switching method thereof
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device which can be switched between a first mode and a second mode, comprising:
- a first sensor for detecting a touch on said portable electronic device and generating a first signal based on said touch;
a second sensor for detecting a movement of said portable electronic device and generating a second signal based on said movement; and
a processing unit which electrically connects said first sensor and said second sensor;
wherein when said portable electronic device is in said first mode, said processing unit switches said portable electronic device to said second mode based on said first signal and said second signal.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a portable electronic device which can be switched between a first mode and a second mode. The portable electronic device comprises a first sensor to detect a touch on the portable electronic device and generate a first signal based on such touch, a second sensor to detect a movement of the portable electronic device and generate a second signal based on such movement, and a processing unit which electrically connects the first sensor and the second sensor. When the portable electronic device is in the first mode, the processing unit switches the portable electronic device to the second mode based on the first and second signals. In addition, the present invention provides a mode switching method that enables the portable electronic device to determine whether to enter or exit from the sleep mode.
