Power control method and electronic apparatus using the same

1. A power control method for an electronic apparatus having a first electronic component and a second electronic component which are opened and closed toward each other, the power control method comprising:

providing a plurality of power modes on the electronic apparatus;

detecting a trigger signal generated from a close operation of the first electronic component relative to the second electronic component;

detecting touch information generated in response to the first electronic component or the second electronic component being touched;

determining a close gesture according to the trigger signal and the touch information; and

selecting and operating in a corresponding power mode within the plurality of power modes by the electronic device according to a correspondence relationship of the close gesture and the plurality of power modes,

wherein the electronic apparatus further provides a setting interface, the method further comprises:

receiving the correspondence relationship of the close gesture and the plurality of power modes selectively set by an input device through the setting interface.

2. The power control method according to claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component is a screen, and the second electronic component is a host having a processor, and the processor is configured to perform the power control method.

3. The power control method according to claim 2 , wherein at least one touch sensor is disposed on at least one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component, and generates the touch information when the at least one touch sensor senses a touch event.

4. The power control method according to claim 3 , wherein there are two touch sensors disposed on the at least one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component, and are located on the same side of the at least one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component, in response to only one of the touch sensors being touched, a single-handed close gesture is determined, in response to both of the touch sensors being touched, a two-handed close gesture is determined.

5. The power control method according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one touch sensor is disposed on each of two different sides of the at least one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component, in response to only the at least one touch sensor on one of the sides being touched, a single-handed side close gesture is determined, in response to the at least one touch sensor on both of the sides being touched, a two-handed close gesture is determined.

6. The power control method according to claim 1 , wherein the power modes comprise at least one of shutdown, standby, sleep, hibernate, and maintaining original working status.

7. An electronic apparatus, having a plurality of power modes, comprising:

a first electronic component and a second electronic component openable relative to each other;

an open-close detector, configured to detect a close operation of the first electronic relative to the second electronic component to generate a trigger signal;

at least one touch sensor, disposed on at least one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component, configured to generate touch information in response to a touch event being sensed;

a processor, coupled to the open-close detector and the at least one touch sensor, configured to determine a close gesture according to the trigger signal and the touch information, select and operate in a corresponding power mode within the plurality of power modes by the electronic device according to a correspondence relationship of the close gesture and the plurality of power modes;

a setting interface, configured to be displayed on a screen of one of the first electronic component and the second electronic component to selectively set the correspondence relationship of the close gesture and the plurality of power modes; and

an input device, configured to receive external signals and selectively set the correspondence relationship of the close gesture and the plurality of power modes of power modes on the setting interface.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the first electronic component is a screen, and the second electronic component is a host having the processor.
