Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a case, a touch sensor, a strength sensor and a controller. The touch sensor is disposed at the case and capable of sensing whether the case is touched. The strength sensor is disposed at the case and capable of sensing whether the case is pressed. The controller is disposed in the case and electrically couple to the touch sensor and the strength sensor. According to the touch sensor for sensing whether the case is touched and according to the strength sensor for sensing whether the case is pressed, the controller produces a control signal. Using the above-mentioned design, the touch sensor and the strength sensor can replace the traditional physical keys to make the electronic apparatus have better appearance and to facilitate forming a thinner shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device and its control method, and in particular to an electronic device with a touch sensor and a strain sensor and its control method. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, many consumer electronic devices appear on the market, such as mobile phones (Handset), tablet computers (Tablet PC) and electronic books (eBook) and so on. These electronic devices not only facilitate people's life, but also play an indispensable role in life. These electronic devices have small size and weight, so they are easy to hold and carry around. [0003] Taking a mobile phone as an example, with the advancement of touch display technology, the touch display function of the mobile phone gradually replaces the traditional physical button function. In addition, in order to achieve the purpose of convenient use, a plurality of physical buttons are still arranged on the casing of the mobile phone for...
