A first electronic device includes a first force-sensitive component, a camera module, and a processing circuit, and a second electronic device includes a second force-sensitive component, a display module, and a processing circuit. At least one component within the first force-sensitive component and the second force-sensitive component is arranged to detect a contact event between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The display module displays at least one predetermined image, and the camera module captures at least one partial image of the aforementioned at least one predetermined image, to allow the first electronic device to determine at least one relative location of the first electronic device with respect to the second electronic device, for use of the second electronic device, and more particularly, the display module displays a display content corresponding to the aforementioned at least one relative location. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A first electronic device, applicable to interact with a second electronic device, comprising: a first force-sensitive component, arranged to detect a contact event between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; a camera module, arranged to capture at least one partial image of at least one predetermined image, wherein a display module of the second electronic device displays said at least one predetermined image; and a processing circuit, coupled to the first force-sensitive component and the camera module; wherein the processing circuit determines at least one relative location of the first electronic device with respect to the second electronic device according to said at least one partial image for the second electronic device to use, and the display module of the second electronic device displays a display content corresponding to said at least one relative location. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The first electronic device of claim 1, wherein when the first force-sensitive component detects the contact event, the first force-sensitive component is arranged to sense a pressure between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and the contact event is confirmed when the pressure falls within a predetermined pressure range. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The first electronic device of claim 2, wherein the contact event is confirmed when the pressure falls within a predetermined pressure range, wherein a period the pressure falls within the predetermined pressure range is longer than a predetermined time threshold. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The first electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first electronic device stores said at least one predetermined image and determines said at least one relative location according to at least one location of said at least one partial image on said at least one predetermined image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The first electronic device of claim 1, wherein said at least one partial image comprises a location information for indicating said at least one relative location; and the first electronic device obtains the location information from said at least one partial image in order to determine said at least one relative location according to the location information. ### Claim 6 A second electronic device, applicable to interact with a first electronic device, comprising: a second force-sensitive component, arranged to detect a contact event between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; a display module, arranged to display at least one predetermined image, wherein a camera module of the first electronic device captures at least one partial image of said at least one predetermined image, in order to allow the first electronic device to determine at least one relative location of the first electronic device with respect to the second electronic device for the second electronic device to use; and a processing circuit, coupled to the second force-sensitive component and the display module; wherein the processing circuit controls the display module to display said at least one predetermined image, and controls the display module to display a display content corresponding to said at least one relative location. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The second electronic device of claim 6, wherein when the second force-sensitive component detects the contact event, the second force-sensitive component is arranged to sense a pressure between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and the contact event is confirmed when the pressure falls within a predetermined pressure range. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The second electronic device of claim 7, wherein the contact event is confirmed when the pressure falls within a predetermined pressure range, wherein a period the pressure falls within the predetermined pressure range is longer than a predetermined time threshold. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The second electronic device of claim 6, wherein the second electronic device stores said at least one predetermined image for the display module to display; and the first electronic device stores said at least one predetermined image, and determines said at least one relative location according to at least one location of said at least one partial image on said at least one predetermined image that is stored in the first electronic device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The second electronic device of claim 6, wherein said at least one partial image carries location information for indicating said at least one relative location; and the first electronic device obtains the location information from said at least one partial image, in order to determine said at least one relative location according to the location information.
