Abstract:
1. A touch control method executable in an electronic system comprising a touch device and a processor, wherein the electronic system is operable to display an object and perform a selection of the object in response to a long press operation, the long press operation has an operation period counted from onset of the long press longer than a time threshold, and the touch control method comprising: detecting touch operations and generating electrical touch operation signals by the touch device representative of the touch operations; generating digital touch operation signals based on the electrical touch operation signals, wherein the digital touch operation signal comprises a sequence of touch operation packets representative of the touch operations, wherein each packet selected from the touch operation packets comprises a pressure field, area field, and coordinate field respectively operable to store a pressure value, a pressed area, and a coordinate of a touch operation represented by the packet; inputting a portion of the touch operation packets in the sequence during a time interval to a converter of the electronic system, wherein the converter generates a net force value of each input packet selected from the portion of the touch operation packets via a product calculation of a pressure value and a pressed area of the input packet, and thus to generate net force values of the portion of the touch operation packets as a net force measurement of the touch operations; utilizing a recognition unit to determine whether at least one net force record in the net force measurement exceeds a net force threshold; generating a first instance of a long press signal in response to the net force measurement upon a condition that at least one net force record in the net force measurement exceeds the net force threshold, wherein an instance of the long press signal is generated in response to an instance of the long press operation on the electronic system to represent the instance of the long press operation; and activating a selection of the object in response to the first instance of a long press signal.
