Mobile device, press detection method and computer-readable recording medium

Abstract

A mobile device, a corresponding press detection method and a corresponding computer-readable recording medium are provided. The mobile device includes a back cover and a body. The back cover includes a plurality of inductor coils. The housing of the body includes a conductor at the position corresponding to each inductor coil. The mobile device generates magnetic fields by supplying power to the inductor coils. The mobile device detects presses received by the back cover according to variation of the magnetic fields induced by variation of the distance between the inductor coils and the conductor. The mobile device detects at least one press patterns and executes a corresponding function when a press pattern occurs. Each press pattern is corresponding to a subset of the inductor coils of the back cover and specifies the press state of the sensing area at the back cover for each inductor coil in the subset.
