Electronic system and proximity sensing method

Abstract

An electronic system includes a hand-held controller and a computing application. The hand-held controller includes a proximity sensing circuit and a physical information sensing circuit. The proximity sensing circuit includes proximity sensors. The proximity sensors are configured to sense instant proximity values. The physical information sensing circuit is configured to sense a physical parameter. The computing application is executed by a processor. The computing application is configured to retrieve the instant proximity values and the physical parameter, to calculate maximum proximity values or minimum proximity values according to the instant proximity values and the physical parameter. The maximum proximity values or the minimum proximity values are utilized to update threshold proximity values of the proximity sensors in determining near status or far status.
