Method, electronic device, and computer-readable recording medium for setting screen timeout time

An electronic device comprising:

• a touch screen, configured to display frames;
• a memory, configured to store data;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the touch screen and the memory, and configured to detect touch operation performed by a user on the touch screen to generate a plurality of touch operation time periods, to calculate an average touch operation time period according to the touch operation time periods, and to set the screen timeout time according to the average touch operation time period, wherein a non-touch operation time period is between every two consecutive touch operation time periods, and wherein each of the non-touch operation time periods exceeds a predetermined idle time period.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, recording programs to be loaded into an electronic device having a touch screen to perform steps of:

• detecting touch operation performed by a user on the touch screen to generate a plurality of touch operation time periods, wherein a non-touch operation time period is between every two consecutive touch operation time periods, and wherein each of the non-touch operation time periods exceeds a predetermined idle time period;
• calculating an average touch operation time period according to the touch operation time periods;
• and
• setting the screen timeout time according to the average touch operation time period.
