Switching method for electronic device

摘要

A switching method for an electronic device having sensing regions is mentioned. The switching method is configured to detect signals received by the electronic device, so as to switch the states of the electronic device. The switching method comprises receiving a first signal at a first moment and receiving a second signal at a second moment, wherein the first signal is generated by touching a first sensing region and the second signal is generated by touching a second sensing region; measuring a triggering duration and determining whether the triggering duration is consistent with a predetermined duration, when the first signal and the second signal are inputted simultaneously; switching the electronic device from a first state to a second state, if the triggering duration is consistent with the predetermined duration; and maintaining the electronic device in the first state, if the triggering duration is not consistent with the predetermined duration.

1. A switching method for an electronic device having a plurality of sensing regions, the switching method being configured to switch states of the electronic device and comprising:
(a) generating a first signal by touching a first sensing region, when the electronic device is in a first state; (b) displaying at least one indication for a predetermined gesture on a display unit of the electronic device; (c) generating a second signal by touching a second sensing region, wherein the first sensing region and the second sensing region are disposed on at least one of the sides of the electronic device except the side that a display unit of the electronic device is configured on, the at least one indication changes with the second signal; (d) determining whether a touching manner and a moving path of the second signal are consistent with the predetermined gesture when receiving the second signal during a period in which the first signal has been received; (e) switching the electronic device from the first state to a second state when the second signal is consistent with the predetermined gesture and when the first signal has been received; and (f) maintaining the electronic device in the first state when the second signal is not consistent with the predetermined gesture or when the first signal has not been received; wherein the first state is a locked state or a sleep state, and the second state is an unlocked state, the touch display panel of the electronic device is locked in the locked state or the sleep state, the touch display panel of the electronic device is unlocked in the unlocked state.
