Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dual-screen systems in electronic devices, such as notebook computers, lack multiple application modes and fail to effectively interact between screens, resulting in inefficient touch-responsive performance due to tedious transmission procedures.
Innovation Solution
A control method and electronic device that differentiate between touchpad and touch screen operations based on received touch data, triggering corresponding operations to streamline interaction between the two screens, allowing for various application modes like notebook computer, multitask, panorama, and book modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional dual-screen output system is used, then dual-screen functionality is provided, but effective interaction between screens is not realized resulting in tedious transmission procedure and low touch-responsive efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the touch screen functionality into two distinct modes: touchpad mode and touch screen mode. The processor identifies touch behavior characteristics and routes them to appropriate processing paths, separating the unified touch interface into functionally distinct segments that can be processed differently, thereby improving responsiveness and reducing transmission delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically switches between touchpad mode and touch screen mode based on real-time analysis of touch behavior characteristics. The processor continuously monitors touch data and adjusts the operational mode accordingly, enabling adaptive response that optimizes both efficiency and user experience without manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional dual-screen system is used, then dual-screen display is provided, but multiple application modes for different situations are not available
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic mode switching between touchpad mode and touch screen mode based on touch behavior analysis. This allows the same hardware to adapt to different application scenarios without requiring separate configurations or additional hardware, thereby enhancing versatility while maintaining simple system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The second screen serves multiple functions by operating in either touchpad mode or touch screen mode depending on the detected touch behavior. This multi-functionality allows a single device to handle various application scenarios (notebook mode, multitask mode, panorama mode, book mode) without requiring separate specialized hardware for each mode.
3Productivity
If touch data is transmitted through conventional procedures, then touch data is processed, but transmission procedure is tedious resulting in low efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The touch data processing is segmented into distinct pathways based on the identified touch behavior mode. Touchpad operations follow one processing route while touch screen operations follow another, allowing each to be optimized independently. This segmentation eliminates the need for uniform, tedious processing procedures and improves overall productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary classification of touch behavior by analyzing touch data characteristics before routing to the appropriate processing mode. This preliminary action enables the system to prepare the correct processing pathway in advance, reducing transmission time and improving efficiency by avoiding unnecessary processing steps.

AI summary
A control method applied to an electronic device with a first screen and a second screen is provided. The control method includes the following steps: receiving touch data responding to a touch behavior generated by the second screen; determining whether the touch behavior is a touchpad operation instruction or a touch screen operation instruction according to the touch data; triggering corresponding touchpad operation according to the touch data when the touch behavior is the touchpad operation instruction; and triggering corresponding touch screen operation according to the touch data when the touch behavior is the touch screen operation instruction.
