ALTERNATIVE INPUT DEVICE FOR PRESS/RELEASE SIMULATIONS

摘要

A device and method in accordance with the present disclosure provide alternate inputs to an electronic device having at least one of an optical sensor or a proximity sensor. An object is placed relative to at least one of the at least one proximity sensor or optical sensor, and the object is detected as an input to the electronic device based on an amount of light detected by the optical sensor or a proximity of the object relative to the electronic device as determined by the proximity sensor. The detected input is equated to a predetermined function of the electronic device.

主权项

1. A method of controlling a electronic device that includes at least one of an optical sensor or a proximity sensor, the method comprising:
placing an object relative to at least one of the at least one proximity sensor or optical sensor; detecting as an input to the electronic device the object based on an amount of light detected by the optical sensor or a proximity of the object relative to the electronic device as determined by the proximity sensor; and equating the detected input to a predetermined function of the electronic device.
