Electronic control apparatus and method for responsively controlling media content displayed on portable electronic device

摘要

An electronic control apparatus including motion sensors is integrated in a portable electronic device to responsively control a media content stored in the portable electronic device, in response to motion sensor signals to flip, zoom, displace images/pages of the media content displayed on a display field of a display thereof. Accordingly, a responsive control method includes the steps of: presetting a first threshold angle; sensing an first rotation angle of the portable electronic device to send out a first rotation sensing signal as a rotation of a yaw, pitch or roll of a portable electronic device detected by a sensing module including motion sensors; and receiving the first rotation sensing signal to calculate and determine whether the first rotation angle is greater than the first threshold angle to responsively control a media content stored in an electronic control apparatus be flipped, zoomed or displaced when the first rotation angle is greater than the first threshold angle.

1. An electronic control apparatus for use with a portable electronic device to detect operations performed on the portable electronic device integrated with a display comprising a display field for displaying a media content stored in a register of the portable electronic device, said electronic control apparatus, comprising:
a sensing module, having sensing circuitry, for sensing a first rotation angle of the portable electronic device and sending out a first rotation sensing signal based on the first rotation angle thereof when the portable electronic device is subject to rotations detected by a first rotation means, wherein the sensing module is provided for sensing an acceleration value of the portable electronic device and sending out an acceleration sensing signal when the portable electronic device is subject to a rotation detected by a second rotation means; and a processing unit, having processing circuitry, electrically connected to the sensing module to receive said first rotation sensing signal, comprising a preset first threshold angle and embedded with an algorithm means for determining whether the first rotation angle of the first rotation sensing signal obtained is greater than the first threshold angle such that responsive to the first rotation angle being greater than the first threshold angle, the processing unit sends out a display control signal to responsively control the display to zoom in or zoom out said media content displayed on the display field thereof; wherein the processing unit comprises a first threshold acceleration value and a second threshold acceleration value, and is configured to receive the acceleration sensing signal and to determine whether the acceleration value is greater than the first threshold acceleration value such that the processing unit sends out a first page-switch signal to responsively control the display to display a previous or next image of the media content displayed on the display field thereof responsive to the acceleration value being greater than the first threshold acceleration value; wherein the second threshold acceleration value is greater than the first threshold acceleration value, and the processing unit is configured to receive the acceleration sensing signal and to determine whether the acceleration value is greater than the second threshold acceleration value such that the processing unit sends out a second page-switch signal to responsively control the display to switch to first image on first page of the media content or last image on last page of the media content on the display field thereof wherein the number of pages is more than two pages, responsive to the acceleration value being greater than the second threshold acceleration value.
