FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a touch controller device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 illustrates an operation mode of a touch controller device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the electronic device 100 includes a touch controller device 110 . In the present exemplary embodiment, the touch controller device 110 is configured to sense a gesture of the user 200 operating on the electronic device 100. In the exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 100 may be a portable electronic device or a non-portable electronic device. The portable electronic device is, for example, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, or a smart watch. The non-portable electronic device is, for example, a desktop computer, a flat panel display, or the like, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
如圖3所示，在本範例實施例中，電子裝置100可以操作在智慧閒置模式(第一模式)、沉睡模式(第二模式)，或是一般模式(第三模式)中。在一般模式中，觸控控制器裝置110感測手勢並且回報所感測手勢的觸控點。電子裝置100對應執行與上述手勢相關聯的操作。倘若電子裝置100被閒置，電子裝置100進入沉睡模式或智慧閒置模式。在沉睡模式中，電子裝置100不會執行特定的操作並且所消耗的電源非常低。在智慧閒置模式中，電子裝置100偵測一些特別的手勢。在智慧閒置模式中的電子裝置100電源消耗小於其在一般模式中。在本範例實施例中，倘若電子裝置100被閒置，則電子裝置100進入智慧閒置模式。使用者200可以藉著使用預設的手勢來喚醒電子裝置100。預設的手勢例如是滑動手勢或雙擊手勢，並且電子裝置100據此從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。As shown in FIG. 3, in the present exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 100 can operate in a smart idle mode (first mode), a sleep mode (second mode), or a general mode (third mode). In the normal mode, the touch controller device 110 senses the gesture and reports the touch point of the sensed gesture. The electronic device 100 corresponds to performing an operation associated with the above gesture. If the electronic device 100 is idle, the electronic device 100 enters a sleep mode or a smart idle mode. In the sleep mode, the electronic device 100 does not perform a specific operation and consumes a very low power. In the smart idle mode, the electronic device 100 detects some special gestures. The power consumption of the electronic device 100 in the smart idle mode is less than that in the normal mode. In the present exemplary embodiment, if the electronic device 100 is idle, the electronic device 100 enters the smart idle mode. The user 200 can wake up the electronic device 100 by using a preset gesture. The preset gesture is, for example, a swipe gesture or a double tap gesture, and the electronic device 100 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode accordingly.
另一方面，在本範例實施例中，觸控控制器裝置110包括觸控控制器112、系統控制器114、重力感測器(G-sensor)116以及距離感測器(P-sensor)118。觸控控制器112、重力感測器116與距離感測器118分別電性連接至系統控制器114。在本範例實施例中，倘若電子裝置100被閒置且進入智慧閒置模式，觸控控制器112被設定為操作在智慧閒置模式中，並且系統控制器114、重力感測器116與距離感測器118被設定為操作在沉睡模式中。應注意的是，在本範例實施例中所揭露之觸控控制器112、系統控制器114、重力感測器116與距離感測器118的操作僅用以例示說明，本發明並不加以限制。如圖1所示，使用者200藉著使用雙擊手勢來喚醒電子裝置100，並且電子裝置100根據雙擊手勢而從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。On the other hand, in the present exemplary embodiment, the touch controller device 110 includes a touch controller 112, a system controller 114, a gravity sensor (G-sensor) 116, and a distance sensor (P-sensor) 118. . The touch controller 112, the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 are electrically connected to the system controller 114, respectively. In the present exemplary embodiment, if the electronic device 100 is idle and enters the smart idle mode, the touch controller 112 is set to operate in the smart idle mode, and the system controller 114, the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 is set to operate in the sleep mode. It should be noted that the operations of the touch controller 112, the system controller 114, the gravity sensor 116, and the distance sensor 118 disclosed in the exemplary embodiment are for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited thereto. . As shown in FIG. 1, the user 200 wakes up the electronic device 100 by using a double tap gesture, and the electronic device 100 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode according to the double tap gesture.
具體來說，在本範例實施例中，雙擊手勢先喚醒觸控控制器112，從而觸控控制器112從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。接著，觸控控制器112工作在一般模式中，並且喚醒系統控制器114。系統控制器114據此從沉睡模式切換至一般模式。在被喚醒之後，系統控制器114更喚醒重力感測器116與距離感測器118來產生感測資料。為了產生感測資料，距離感測器118在沒有物理接觸下偵測附近物體的存在，並且重力感測器116測量電子裝置100相對於地球的加速度(proper acceleration)，也就是重力加速度。重力感測器116被應用在電子裝置100中以使螢幕上的畫面保持直立。在本範例實施例中，系統控制器114根據重力感測器116與距離感測器118其中之一者或兩者所產生的感測資料來控制電子裝置100從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。因此，在本範例實施例中，為了喚醒電子裝置100，會考慮到重力感測器116與距離偵測器118所產生的感測資料，如此一來，能夠減少在喚醒電子裝置100時的錯誤判定。Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment, the double-click gesture first wakes up the touch controller 112, so that the touch controller 112 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode. Next, the touch controller 112 operates in the normal mode and wakes up the system controller 114. The system controller 114 switches from the sleep mode to the normal mode accordingly. After being woken up, the system controller 114 wakes up the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 to generate the sensing data. To generate the sensed data, the distance sensor 118 detects the presence of nearby objects without physical contact, and the gravity sensor 116 measures the proper acceleration of the electronic device 100 relative to the earth, that is, the gravitational acceleration. A gravity sensor 116 is applied in the electronic device 100 to keep the screen on the screen upright. In the present exemplary embodiment, the system controller 114 controls the electronic device 100 to switch from the smart idle mode to the normal mode according to the sensed data generated by one or both of the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118. Therefore, in the present exemplary embodiment, in order to wake up the electronic device 100, the sensing data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance detector 118 is taken into consideration, so that errors in waking up the electronic device 100 can be reduced. determination.
圖4是根據本發明的一範例實施例所繪示的雙擊手勢的時序圖。圖5是根據本發明的一範例實施例所繪示的喚醒電子裝置的方法的流程圖。請參照圖1到圖5，在本範例實施例中的喚醒電子裝置的方法可以應用在如圖1中所示的電子裝置100上，但本發明並不加以限制。在本範例實施例中，雙擊手勢600包括第一點擊610與第二點擊620。第一點擊610在第二點擊620之前點擊電子裝置100。FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of a double tap gesture according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a method for waking up an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the method of waking up an electronic device in the present exemplary embodiment can be applied to the electronic device 100 as shown in FIG. 1, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present exemplary embodiment, the double tap gesture 600 includes a first click 610 and a second click 620. The first click 610 clicks on the electronic device 100 before the second click 620.
在步驟S500中，第一點擊610喚醒觸控控制器112。觸控控制器112從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。接著，在步驟S510中，觸控控制器112在第一點擊610之後與第二點擊620之前喚醒系統控制器114。系統控制器114從沉睡模式切換至一般模式。在步驟S520中，系統控制器在第一點擊610之後與第二點擊620之前喚醒至少一感測器，例如是重力感測器116與距離感測器118其中之一者或兩者。在本範例實施例中，重力感測器116與距離感測器118皆被喚醒，並且據此從沉睡模式切換至一般模式。之後，在步驟S530中，重力感測器116與距離感測器118在第一點擊610之後與第二點擊620之前開始產生感測資料。在步驟S540中，系統控制器114根據重力感測器116與距離感測器118產生的感測資料來控制電子裝置100從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。在一範例實施例中，電子裝置100可僅根據重力感測器116與距離偵測器118的其中之一產生的感測資料來控制電子裝置100以切換模式，本發明並不加以限制。因此，雙擊手勢600喚醒電子裝置100，電子裝置100據此從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。In step S500, the first click 610 wakes up the touch controller 112. The touch controller 112 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode. Next, in step S510, the touch controller 112 wakes up the system controller 114 after the first click 610 and before the second click 620. The system controller 114 switches from the sleep mode to the normal mode. In step S520, the system controller wakes up at least one sensor, such as one or both of the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118, after the first click 610 and before the second click 620. In the present exemplary embodiment, both the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 are awakened and accordingly switch from the sleep mode to the normal mode. Thereafter, in step S530, the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 start generating the sensing data after the first click 610 and before the second click 620. In step S540, the system controller 114 controls the electronic device 100 to switch from the smart idle mode to the normal mode according to the sensed data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118. In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 100 can control the electronic device 100 to switch modes according to the sensing data generated by one of the gravity sensor 116 and the distance detector 118, which is not limited in the present invention. Therefore, the double tap gesture 600 wakes up the electronic device 100, and the electronic device 100 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode accordingly.

具體來說，在步驟S800中，電子裝置100初始是操作在智慧閒置模式中。同時，觸控控制器112也是操作在智慧閒置模式中以感測手勢。所述手勢例如是雙擊手勢600。在步驟S810中，觸控控制器112依據單點擊按下P1與單點擊放開P2感測雙擊手勢600的第一點擊610。倘若觸控控制器112在單點擊按下P1之後感測到單點擊放開P2，觸控控制器112被第一點擊610喚醒，並且執行步驟S820。反之，倘若觸控控制器112在單點擊按下P1之後並未感測到單點擊放開P2，則回到步驟S800。電子裝置100仍然操作在智慧閒置模式中，並不會被喚醒。Specifically, in step S800, the electronic device 100 initially operates in the smart idle mode. At the same time, the touch controller 112 also operates in the smart idle mode to sense gestures. The gesture is for example a double tap gesture 600. In step S810, the touch controller 112 senses the first click 610 of the double tap gesture 600 according to a single click of P1 and a single click release P2. If the touch controller 112 senses a single click release P2 after a single click of P1, the touch controller 112 is woken up by the first click 610, and step S820 is performed. On the other hand, if the touch controller 112 does not sense a single click release P2 after pressing P1 by a single click, it returns to step S800. The electronic device 100 is still operating in the smart idle mode and will not be woken up.
在步驟S820中，觸控控制器112喚醒系統控制器114，並且系統控制器114喚醒重力感測器116與距離感測器118。接著在步驟S830中，重力感測器116與距離感測器118開始產生感測資料並且將感測資料輸出至系統控制器114。在步驟S840中，觸控控制器112依據單點擊按下P3與單點擊放開P4感測雙擊手勢600的第二點擊620。倘若觸控控制器112在單點擊按下P3之後感測到單點擊放開P4，執行步驟S850。反之，倘若觸控控制器112在單點擊按下P3之後並未感測到單點擊放開P4，則回到步驟S800。電子裝置100仍然操作在智慧閒置模式中，並不會被喚醒。觸控控制器112從一般模式切換至智慧閒置模式。系統控制器114、重力感測器116與距離感測器118從一般模式切換至沉睡模式。In step S820, the touch controller 112 wakes up the system controller 114, and the system controller 114 wakes up the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118. Next, in step S830, the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 start generating the sensing data and output the sensing data to the system controller 114. In step S840, the touch controller 112 senses the second click 620 of the double tap gesture 600 by pressing P3 with a single click and releasing the P4 with a single click. If the touch controller 112 senses a single click to release P4 after pressing P3 in a single click, step S850 is performed. On the other hand, if the touch controller 112 does not sense the single click release P4 after pressing P3 by a single click, the process returns to step S800. The electronic device 100 is still operating in the smart idle mode and will not be woken up. The touch controller 112 switches from the normal mode to the smart idle mode. The system controller 114, the gravity sensor 116, and the distance sensor 118 switch from the normal mode to the sleep mode.
在步驟S850中，系統控制器114判斷雙擊手勢600的點擊組合和重力感測器116與距離感測器118產生的感測資料是否有效。倘若雙擊手勢600的點擊組合和重力感測器116與距離感測器118產生的感測資料是有效時，在步驟S860中，系統控制器114根據雙擊手勢600的點擊組合和重力感測器116與距離感測器118其中之一者或兩者所產生的資料，來控制電子裝置100從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。倘若雙擊手勢600的點擊組合或力感測器116與距離感測器118產生的感測資料是無效時，則回到步驟S800。在本範例實施例中，為了喚醒電子裝置100，會考慮到重力感測器116與距離偵測器118所產生的感測資料，如此一來，能夠減少在喚醒電子裝置100時的錯誤判定。In step S850, the system controller 114 determines whether the click combination of the double tap gesture 600 and the sensed data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 are valid. If the click combination of the double tap gesture 600 and the sensed data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 are valid, the system controller 114 selects the click combination of the double tap gesture 600 and the gravity sensor 116 in step S860. The data generated by one or both of the distance sensors 118 is used to control the electronic device 100 to switch from the smart idle mode to the normal mode. If the click combination of the double tap gesture 600 or the sensed data generated by the force sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 is invalid, then return to step S800. In the present exemplary embodiment, in order to wake up the electronic device 100, the sensing data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance detector 118 is taken into consideration, so that the erroneous determination when the electronic device 100 is woken up can be reduced.
此外，在本範例實施例中所述的喚醒電子裝置的方法已在圖1到圖5中所描述的實施例中充分教示、建議並可據以實現，故在此不再贅述。In addition, the method for waking up the electronic device in the exemplary embodiment has been fully taught, suggested, and implemented in the embodiments described in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, and thus is not described herein again.

FIG. 8 is a timing diagram of a sliding gesture according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. FIG. 9 is a flow chart of a method for waking up an electronic device according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9 , the method for waking up an electronic device in the exemplary embodiment is similar to the method for waking up an electronic device in the embodiments of FIG. 1 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , but the main difference between the two is, for example, a user. The 400 wake-up electronic device 300 gesture is a swipe gesture. Further, the method of waking up the electronic device in the present exemplary embodiment can be applied to the electronic device 300 as shown in FIG. 7, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
具體來說，滑動手勢700是在觸控感測階段操作在電子裝置300上。在本範例實施例中，觸控感測階段包括第一階段T1、第二階段T2與第三階段T3。如圖8所示，第三階段T3是在第一階段T1與第二階段T2之間。Specifically, the swipe gesture 700 is operated on the electronic device 300 during the touch sensing phase. In the present exemplary embodiment, the touch sensing phase includes a first phase T1, a second phase T2, and a third phase T3. As shown in FIG. 8, the third phase T3 is between the first phase T1 and the second phase T2.
在步驟S900中，滑動手勢700在觸控感測階段中的第三階段T3(即，第一階段T1與第二階段T2之間)，喚醒觸控控制器112。觸控控制器112從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。接著，在步驟S910中，觸控控制器112在第三階段T3中喚醒系統控制器114。系統控制器114從沉睡模式切換至一般模式。在步驟S920中，系統控制器114在第三階段T3中喚醒至少一感測器，例如是重力感測器116與距離感測器118其中之一者或兩者。在本範例實施例中，重力感測器116與距離感測器118兩者皆被喚醒，並且據此從沉睡模式切換至一般模式。之後，在步驟S930中，重力感測器116與距離感測器118在第三階段T3中開始產生感測資料。在步驟S940中，系統控制器114根據重力感測器116與距離感測器118產生的感測資料控制電子裝置300從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。在一範例實施例中，電子裝置300可僅根據重力感測器116與距離偵測器118的其中之一產生的感測資料來控制電子裝置300以切換模式，本發明並不加以限制。因此，滑動手勢700喚醒電子裝置300，電子裝置300據此從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。In step S900, the sliding gesture 700 wakes up the touch controller 112 during the third phase T3 (ie, between the first phase T1 and the second phase T2) in the touch sensing phase. The touch controller 112 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode. Next, in step S910, the touch controller 112 wakes up the system controller 114 in the third phase T3. The system controller 114 switches from the sleep mode to the normal mode. In step S920, the system controller 114 wakes up at least one sensor in the third phase T3, such as one or both of the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118. In the present exemplary embodiment, both the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 are awakened and accordingly switch from the sleep mode to the normal mode. Thereafter, in step S930, the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118 start generating the sensing data in the third phase T3. In step S940, the system controller 114 controls the electronic device 300 to switch from the smart idle mode to the normal mode according to the sensed data generated by the gravity sensor 116 and the distance sensor 118. In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 300 can control the electronic device 300 to switch modes according to only the sensing data generated by one of the gravity sensor 116 and the distance detector 118, and the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the swipe gesture 700 wakes up the electronic device 300, and the electronic device 300 switches from the smart idle mode to the normal mode accordingly.
此外，在本範例實施例中所述的喚醒電子裝置的方法已在圖1到圖3中所描述的實施例中充分教示、建議並可據以實現，故在此不再贅述。In addition, the method for waking up the electronic device in the exemplary embodiment has been fully taught, suggested, and implemented in the embodiments described in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, and thus will not be further described herein.
綜上所述，在本發明的範例實施例中，系統控制器根據重力感測器與距離感測器的其中之一者或二者所產生的感測資料，來控制電子裝置從智慧閒置模式切換至一般模式。為了喚醒電子裝置，會考慮重力感測器與距離感測器所產生的感測資料，如此一來，能夠減少在喚醒電子裝置時的錯誤判定。In summary, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the system controller controls the electronic device from the smart idle mode according to the sensing data generated by one or both of the gravity sensor and the distance sensor. Switch to normal mode. In order to wake up the electronic device, the sensing data generated by the gravity sensor and the distance sensor are considered, and thus, the erroneous determination when waking up the electronic device can be reduced.
