In order to make the content of the novel creation easier to understand, the following specific embodiments are examples in which the novel creation can be implemented. In addition, wherever possible, the same elements, components, and steps in the drawings and embodiments are used to represent the same or similar components.

FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram of a wearable electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the wearable electronic device 100 can include an operation interface 120 , a motion sensor 140 , and a controller 160 , but the novel creation is not limited thereto. The operation interface 120 can be used to select a first function of the wearable electronic device 100 to perform an action setting. The action sensor 140 can be used to sense the first action of the user, and accordingly generate the first motion information IFO1, wherein the first motion information IFO1 can be, for example, speed, displacement or azimuth information, but is not limited thereto. The controller 160 can be coupled to the operating interface 120 and the motion sensor 140. The controller 160 can be configured to correspond the first motion information IFO1 to the first function, so that the wearable electronic device 100 can activate or execute the first function in response to the first action of the user.

Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the user can control the wearable electronic device 100 to enter the setting mode through the operation interface 120, so that the wearable electronic device 100 performs the above-described action setting in the setting mode. After the above-mentioned action setting is completed, the wearable electronic device 100 can respond to the first action of the user in the normal mode to correspondingly activate or execute the first function.

For example, after the wearable electronic device 100 enters the setting mode, the user can select the map function of the wearable electronic device 100 through the operation interface 120 to perform action setting. Then, the motion sensor 140 can be used to sense the first motion performed by the user (for example, but not limited to the motion of the circle), and accordingly generate the first motion information IFO1. Then, the controller 160 may store the first motion information IFO1 from the motion sensor 140 and map the first motion information IFO1 to the map function of the wearable electronic device 100 to complete the action setting of the map function. In this way, when the wearable electronic device 100 is operated in the normal mode, the user can activate or perform the map function by the wearable electronic device 100 through the motion of the circle.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable electronic device 100 may further include a storage 180. The storage 180 can be coupled to the controller 160 and can be used to store the first motion information IFO1 corresponding to the first function.

The motion information IFO2 may correspond to at least one second action of the user, respectively. More specifically, each of the second motion information IFO2 stored in the storage device 180 may correspond to one of the functions of the wearable electronic device 100, and each of the second motion information IFO2 may correspond to one of the user's second action. Therefore, when the wearable electronic device 100 is manufactured, the second motion information IFO2 can be built in the storage 180 of the wearable electronic device 100, so that the user can perform the second corresponding to the second motion information IFO2. The action causes the wearable electronic device 100 to activate or perform a corresponding function.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 160 can determine whether the first motion information IFO1 is identical to the at least one second motion information IFO2 that has been stored in the storage 180. If the determination result is yes, the controller 160 can instruct the user to perform the action setting again through the operation interface 120. This is to prevent the first action corresponding to the first motion information IFO1 from being too similar to the second action corresponding to the second motion information IFO2, so that the wearable electronic device 100 cannot distinguish the difference between the first action and the second action. Start or perform the corresponding function correctly.

On the other hand, if the result of the above determination is no, the controller 160 may store the first motion information IFO1 in the storage 180 to update the second motion information IFO2, and may correspond to the first function of the wearable electronic device 100. A sports information IFO1. More specifically, if the first function does not correspond to any action, the controller 160 may add the first motion information IFO1 to the second motion information IFO2, and directly add the first function to the first motion. The information IFO1 is such that the first function corresponds to the first action. If the first function has been corresponding to one of the second motion information IFO2 (ie, the first function has corresponded to one of the second actions), the controller 160 may replace the second motion information IFO2 with the first motion information IFO1. And the first function change may be corresponding to the first motion information IFO1 such that the first function corresponds to the first action.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first motion information IFO1 or the second motion information IFO2 may be a curve that changes with time, but the novel creation is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable electronic device 100 may be a wrist-worn electronic device, such as a smart watch or a smart wristband, but the novel creation is not limited thereto. For example, the wearable electronic device 100 can be worn on the wrist of the user (for example, the right wrist), so that the user can perform the first action (for example, the motion of the circle) through the right hand to make the wearable electronic device 100 initiates or executes a corresponding first function (eg, a map function).
