ASUSTeK Computer has been granted a patent for a touch operation method for electronic devices. The method involves generating a touch signal in response to a touch operation on a touchpad, determining if the touch operation is in a predetermined region, and generating an operation signal to perform a specific function based on the displacement of the touch operation within a preset time interval. The functions include clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, developer-defined function, short-press operation, and long-press operation.

Touch operation method for an electronic device with touchpad

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11775087B2) describes a touch operation method and an electronic device that implement this method. The touch operation method involves several steps performed by a touchpad and a processor. First, the touchpad generates a touch signal in response to a touch operation. The processor then determines whether the touch operation is located in a predetermined region of the touchpad based on the touch signal. If the touch operation is in the predetermined region, the processor further determines whether there is a displacement of the touch operation within a specific time interval. Based on this determination, the processor generates an operation signal corresponding to a predetermined function of the electronic device.
The electronic device described in the patent includes a touchpad, a storage device, and a processor. The processor is responsible for executing a computer module stored in the storage device. The touchpad generates a touch signal in response to a touch operation, and the processor determines whether the touch operation is within a predetermined region of the touchpad. If it is, the processor then determines whether there is a displacement of the touch operation within a specific time interval. Based on these determinations, the processor generates an operation signal that corresponds to a predetermined function of the electronic device.
The patent also describes additional features of the electronic device. It includes a screen, and the processor is configured to map a touch operation region of the touchpad to a corresponding stylus operation mapping region on the screen. This allows for the conversion of touch operations performed with a stylus on the touchpad into corresponding operations on the screen. The processor also determines whether the displacement of the touch operation exceeds a second displacement threshold within a second preset time interval. If it does, the position of the stylus operation mapping region on the screen is adjusted based on the magnitude and direction of the displacement. If the displacement does not exceed the threshold, the processor generates an operation signal corresponding to a sixth function of the electronic device.
Overall, this patent describes a touch operation method and an electronic device that utilize a touchpad and a processor to perform various functions based on touch operations. The device can also incorporate a stylus and a screen, allowing for stylus-based input and interaction.
