Graphics editing method and electronic device using the same

A graphic editing method for an electronic device having a touch panel and operating in a graphic editing mode, the graphic editing method comprising:

• detecting whether a sensed area generated responsive to capacitive coupling between a touch object and the touch panel is larger than a first predefined area threshold;
• causing the electronic device to execute a first function under the graphic editing mode according to an operation performed on the touch panel by a touch object when determined that the sensed area is smaller than the first predefined area threshold;
• and
• causing the electronic device to execute a second function under the graphic editing mode according to the operation performed on the touch panel by the touch object when determined that the sensed area is larger than the first predefined area threshold.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a touch panel disposed on one side of the display, the touch panel configured to sense a sensing information associated with a first touch object on the touch panel, the sensing information at least comprising a sensed area between the first touch object and the touch panel;
• and
• a control unit coupled to the display and the touch panel, the control unit operatively determining whether the sensed area is larger than a first predefined area threshold;
• when the control unit determines that the sensed area is smaller than the first predefined area threshold, the control unit operatively executes a first function according to an operation performed on the touch panel by the first touch object;
• when the control unit determines that the sensed area is larger than the first predefined area threshold, the control unit operatively executes a second function according to the operation performed on the touch panel by the first touch object.
