An electronic device including a signal processing circuit, an acceleration sensor, and an edge sensor is provided. The electronic device has a device body. The signal processing circuit operates in a sleep mode. The acceleration sensor senses an acceleration variation of the device body to generate an acceleration sensing signal. The acceleration sensor determines whether the acceleration sensing signal is continuously lower than an acceleration threshold for a preset length of time to wake up the signal processing circuit. When the acceleration sensor wakes up the signal processing circuit, the signal processor enables the edge sensor. The edge sensor senses a deformation variation of the device body to generate at least one deformation sensing signal. The signal processing circuit analyzes the deformation sensing signal to determine whether a drop event of the device body occurs. In addition, a drop warning method is also provided.

Electronic device and drop warning method

An electronic apparatus and method for determining a reset thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a switch, a sensor, a reset circuitry and a control circuitry. The switch generates a trigger signal as being triggered. The sensor senses a property of an object or an environment external to the electronic apparatus and to provide a sensing information based on the sensed property. The reset circuitry is coupled to the switch and counts from an initial value to a predetermined value when keep receiving the trigger signal from the switch, wherein the reset circuitry further resets the electronic apparatus when counting to the predetermined value. The control circuitry is coupled to the switch, the sensor and the reset circuit and generates a control signal, based on the sensing information, for controlling the reset circuit to re-count from the initial value to the predetermined value.

Electronic apparatus and method for determining a reset thereof

An electronic apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a signal detection module and a power adjustment module. The signal detection module detects a received signal quality of a first wireless communication system. The power adjustment module is coupled to the signal detection module, and adjusts an output power in a second wireless communication system according to the received signal quality, so as to enlarge service coverage of the electronic apparatus in the second wireless communication system.

Electronic apparatus and power adjustment method thereof

A channel selection method and electronic device thereof are provided. In the channel selection method, usable channels of a second communication protocol are selected according to a used channel number of a first communication protocol, and one of the usable channels is selected according to the numbers of wireless access points, thereby preventing or alleviating the interference between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.

Channel selection method and electronic device thereof

A communication channel setting method and a communication channel selection method for an electronic device are provided. The communication channel setting method measures the interference between two communication protocols implemented on the same electronic device and stores threshold values and a look-up table obtained from the measurements in the electronic device. Next, the electronic device executes the channel selection method. The channel selection method selects usable channels of one of the two communication protocols according to the threshold values and the look-up table, thereby preventing or alleviating the interference between the communication protocols.
