Abstract
A method and apparatus for inputting various operation instructions to a device including two movable panels. The method includes determining whether a relative angle between the first panel and the second panel is within an effective angle range; determining whether the relative angle within the effective angle range is maintained during an effective time; and inputting an operation instruction to the device based on whether the relative angle between the first panel and the second panel is within the effective angle range and whether the relative angle within the effective angle range is maintained during the effective time.
