Abstract
Management and application methods and systems for an electronic apparatus having touch-sensitive devices are provided. First, at least one sensing electrode of a touch-sensitive device is scanned. It is determined whether a sensed value corresponding to the sensing electrode is greater than a first threshold value and whether the sensed value corresponding to the sensing electrode is greater than a second threshold value, wherein the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value. When the sensed value is greater than the first threshold value, and is not greater than the second threshold value, it is determined that a first event is detected by the touch-sensitive device, for example, an object is close to the touch-sensitive device. When the sensed value is greater than the second threshold value, it is determined that a second event is detected by the touch-sensitive device, for example, the touch-sensitive device is touched by the object.
