Abstract

An electronic device includes a touch screen, a microcontroller (MCU), and a central processing unit (CPU). The MCU detects a plurality of touch inputs one the touch screen when the CPU is in a sleep mode, determines whether the touch inputs form a touch event, and wakens the CPU from the sleep mode upon the condition that the touch inputs form the touch event. The CPU obtains the touch event from the MCU and executes the touch event to quickly turn a page of an e-book of the electronic device.
