Abstract
A handheld mobile communication apparatus and operating method thereof are disclosed. The handheld mobile communication apparatus includes a touch sensing component, a key, a storage unit and a control unit. The touch sensing component senses a touch, thus generating a touch signal. The storage unit has a first command database and a second command database. The control unit selects the first command database or the second command database according to whether the key is pressed, and generates a control signal corresponding to the touch according to the touch signal and the selected command database.
Claims20
A handheld mobile communication apparatus, comprising:
- a touch sensing component, for sensing a touch to generate a touch signal;
- a key;
- a storage unit, for storing a first command database and a second command database;
- and
- a control unit, coupled to the touch sensing component, the key and the storage unit, for selecting the first command database or the second command database according to whether the key is pressed, and generating a control signal according to the touch signal and the selected command database.
A method for operating a handheld mobile communication apparatus comprising a touch sensing component, a key, and a storage unit storing a first command database and a second command database, the method comprising:
- generating a touch signal in response to a touch sensed by the touch sensing component;
- selecting, as a selected command database, the first command database or the second command database according to whether the key is pressed;
- and
- generating a control signal according to the touch signal and the selected command database.
A handheld mobile communication apparatus, comprising:
- a touch unit, for sensing a touch when the touch is generated on the touch unit by an object to generate a touch signal;
- a key, for generating a switch signal when the key is pressed;
- and
- a control unit, coupled to the touch unit and the key, for determining whether the switch signal is generated when the touch signal is generated;
- and generating a first control signal corresponding to the touch signal when the switch signal is not generated and generating a second control signal corresponding to the touch signal when the switch signal is generated;
- wherein, the handheld mobile communication apparatus performs different operations corresponding to the first control signal and the second control signal.
