Abstract

A method of operating a touch control electronic device includes the steps of: (a) activating a program; (b) detecting a touch signal forming a curve, which includes a first sensing point and a second sensing point; and (c) calculating a distance variation between the first sensing point and the second sensing point with a reference point so as to change an attribute value of the program, wherein the reference point is set according to the curve.

Claims (34)

1. A touch control electronic device, comprising:

a program having an attribute value;

a sensing unit for detecting a touch signal, wherein the touch signal forms a curve, and the curve comprises a first sensing point and a second sensing point;

a calculating unit for calculating a distance variation between the first sensing point and the second sensing point with a reference point, wherein the reference point is set according to the curve; and

a processing unit for changing the attribute value of the program according to the distance variation;

wherein the calculating unit further calculates a first distance between the first sensing point and the reference point, a second distance between the second sensing point and the reference point, and a difference between the second distance and the first distance, wherein the distance variation is equal to the difference between the second distance and the first distance.

2. The touch control electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the program controls a movement speed of a listed option in a frame, and the processing unit adjusts a variation rate of the movement speed of the listed option according to the distance variation, and the device further comprises:

a display screen for displaying the frame, wherein the variation rate of the movement speed of the listed option in the frame is changed with the distance variation.

3. The touch control electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the program controls a display brightness, the processing unit adjusts a variation rate of the display brightness according to the distance variation, and the device further comprises:

a display screen having the display brightness, wherein the variation rate of the display brightness is changed with the distance variation.

4. The touch control electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the program controls a display scale, the processing unit adjusts a variation rate of the display scale according to the distance variation, and the device further comprises:

a display screen having the display scale, wherein the variation rate of the display scale is changed with the distance variation.

5. The touch control electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the program controls a play volume, the processing unit adjusts a variation rate of the play volume according to the distance variation, and the device further comprises:

a volume player having the play volume, wherein the variation rate of the play volume is changed with the distance variation.

6. The touch control electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the program controls an object speed in a frame, the processing unit adjusts a variation rate of the object speed according to the distance variation, and the device further comprises:

a display screen for displaying the frame, wherein the variation rate of the object speed is changed with the distance variation.

7. An operating method of a touch control electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) activating a program;

(b) detecting a touch signal forming a curve, the curve comprising a first sensing point and a second sensing point; and

(c) calculating a distance variation between the first sensing point and the second sensing point with a reference point so as to change an attribute value of the program, wherein the reference point is set according to the curve;

wherein the step (c) comprises:

(c1) calculating a first distance between the first sensing point and the reference point;

(c2) calculating a second distance between the second sensing point and the reference point; and

(c3) calculating a difference between the second distance and the first distance to obtain the distance variation.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the program controls a movement speed of a listed option in a frame, and the step (c) comprises:

adjusting a variation rate of the movement speed of the listed option according to the distance variation.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the program controls a display brightness, and the step (c) comprises:

adjusting a variation rate of the display brightness according to the distance variation.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the program controls a display scale, and the step (c) comprises:

adjusting a variation rate of the display scale according to the distance variation.

11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the program controls a play volume, and the step (c) comprises:

adjusting a variation rate of the play volume according to the distance variation.

12. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the program controls an object speed in a frame, and the step (c) comprises:

adjusting a variation rate of the object speed according to the distance variation.
