Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes an input interface, a controller and a processor. The input interface includes a first touch sensing region, a second touch sensing region and a third sensing region. The first touch sensing region has a plurality of touch pads arranged in a radial array. The second touch sensing region and the third touch sensing region are respectively adjacent to two sides of the first touch sensing region, and each includes a plurality of touch pads arranged in a matrix array. The controller is coupled to each of the touch pads for detecting a user input on the user interface and generating a plurality of sensing signals according to the user input. The processor is electrically coupled to the controller, and executes a corresponding function according to the plurality of sensing signals.
