Abstract
An electronic device, an input/output apparatus and an input/output method therefor are disclosed. The electronic device includes an input/output controller, a first projector component, a second projector component and a detector component. The input/output controller generates a first projection signal for an output interface and a second projection signal for an input interface. The first projector component projects the output interface according to the first projection signal. The second projector component projects the input interface according to the second projection signal. The detector component detects an input signal in the projected input interface, and transmits the detected input signal to the input/output controller as an input signal for the electronic device. By implementing input/output in a manner of projection, an input/output interface of a desired size is provided while the input/output apparatus of the electronic device is miniaturized.
