Problems solved by technology

However, based on product positioning and cost considerations, most notebook computers on the market are still not equipped with touch screens. Therefore, even if users install an operating system that supports touch screen operations on such notebook computers, they cannot enjoy the convenience it brings.

Embodiment Construction

[0059] Generally speaking, touch devices such as touchpads that only have a touch detection function are not only much smaller than the screen in size, but also do not necessarily match the screen in shape and proportion, so users often operate this type of touch device. Intuitive operating experience cannot be obtained. Based on this, if it is possible to further identify the touch pattern applied by the user to the touch device, and control the corresponding visual feedback effect displayed on the screen, it will definitely increase the convenience of using the electronic device. The present invention is an electronic device and an operating method thereof based on the above viewpoints. In order to make the content of the present invention more clear, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the present invention can indeed be implemented.

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic device and an operation method thereof. The electronic device comprises a touch device and a display device. The touch device is disposed on the surface of an electronic device body. Height difference exists between the touch surface of the touch device and the surface of the electronic device body. The operation method includes: defining an edge area of the touch device according to the height difference, and dividing the touch device into at least two identification areas along a specific direction; judging whether a touch start point of the touch device is located in the edge area or not; if so, controlling the electronic device to execute first category program operations, second category program operations, functional panel operations or mouse rolling operations according to the touch start point, moving speed and moving directions; if not, controlling the electronic device to execute mouse operations corresponding to the touch.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a touch operation method of an electronic device, and in particular relates to an electronic device operated by a touch device without a display function and an operation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer technology, the operation interface of the computer system has also evolved from the early command line interface (CommandLineInterface, CLI) to the graphical user interface (GraphicUserInterface, GUI). In an operating environment supporting a graphical user interface, users can operate various graphical components through pointing devices such as a mouse and a touchpad, thereby using the computer system more conveniently. Taking portable notebook computers as an example, most of them are equipped with a touchpad to replace the function of a mouse. [0003] The improvement of touch technology makes touch screen more and more favored by electronic device manufacturers. Diff...
