An input device is provided. The input device has a storage unit, a microcontroller, and a plurality of input units for generating operational inputs. The storage unit is for storing information, typically private, sensitive files/documents. Furthermore, when locked, the storage unit is not allowable for access. The microcontroller includes a password comparing module and an unlocking module. The password comparing module is for comparing the operational inputs from the input units with a predetermined password, and generating an unlock signal if the operational inputs match the predetermined password. The unlocking module is electrically connected to the password comparing module, and is configured for unlocking the storage unit in response to the unlock signal, thereby enabling a computer system connected thereto to access the storage unit. Related methods are also provided.

An input device with a lock mechanism is provided. The input device has a storage unit, a pressure sensor, a microcontroller, and a locking unit. The storage unit is for storing information, typically private, sensitive files/documents. The pressure sensor is for generating pressure sensing signals if pressed. The microcontroller is for scanning the pressure sensing signals in real time, and generating and transmitting a lock signal to the locking unit. The locking unit is signaled to perform a lock operation on the storage unit in response to the lock signal, thereby preventing unauthorized access to the information of the storage unit. A related method is also provided.

An electronic device and method providing a touch-based interface for a display control is provided. The electronic device includes a display, and a processing unit. The display includes a screen installed with a cursor thereon and a frame attached to the screen. The frame further has a first touch sensitive region and a second touch sensitive region for generating sensing signals in response to an input operation. Each sensing signal is assigned a coordinate for identification. The processing unit identifies the sensing signals according to the coordinates assigned therewith, controls a movement of the cursor displayed on the screen if the identified sensing signals from the first touch sensitive region, and controls a movement of pages displayed on the screen if the identified sensing signals from the second touch sensitive region. A related method is also provided.

An input device with a fingerprint recognizing mechanism is provided. The input device has a storage unit, a fingerprint input interface, and a microcontroller. The storage unit is for storing information, typically private, sensitive files/documents. Furthermore, the information is not allowable for access when the storage unit is in a locked state. The fingerprint input interface is for inputting fingerprint data of a fingerprint. The microcontroller includes a fingerprint identifying module and an unlocking module. The fingerprint identifying module compares the fingerprint data from the fingerprint input interface with predetermined fingerprint data, and generating an unlock signal if the fingerprint data match the predetermined fingerprint data. The unlocking module unlocks the storage unit in response to the unlock signal from the fingerprint identifying module, thereby enabling a computer system to access the information of the storage unit. A related method is also provided.

A computer system capable of playing multimedia files while in a power off mode or power-saving mode is provided. The computer system has a first operating system operated in a high power mode and a second operating system operated in a low power mode. The first operating system has a hard disk storing multimedia files and a central processing unit for running the first operating system. The second operating system has a non-volatile storage unit consuming substantially less power than the hard disk, for storing multimedia files; a multimedia playing unit for playing the multimedia files of the non-volatile storage unit; and a microcontroller having less computing performance than the CPU and consuming substantially less power than the CPU, for running the second operating system when the first operating system is in a power off mode or power-saving mode. A related method for operating the computer system is also provided.
摘要:
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a processing unit, a display and a touch-sensitive apparatus. The touch-sensitive apparatus includes a plurality of touch-sensitive units. The display defines a symbol selection area for displaying a plurality of symbols corresponding to the touch-sensitive units. The processing unit receives a touch operation on a touch-sensitive unit, and inputs the corresponding symbol displayed in the symbol selection area. Inputting symbols in the electronic device is convenient while avoiding dirtying or damaging the display.
