131 can cover the

141, and when the

131 detects a touch operation on or near the

131, the touch operation is transmitted to the

180 to determine the type of the touch event, and then the

180 provides a corresponding visual output on the

141 according to the type of the touch event. Although in fig. 2, the

131 and the

141 are two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the

100, in some embodiments, the

150, such as light sensors, motion sensors, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor that may adjust the brightness of the

141 according to the brightness of ambient light, and a proximity sensor that may turn off the

141 and/or the backlight when the

100 is moved to the ear. As one of the motion sensors, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally, three axes), detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer attitude calibration) for recognizing the attitude of the electronic device, vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), and the like; as for other sensors such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor, which may be further configured to the

100, detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

160, speaker 161, and microphone 162 may provide an audio interface between a user and

100. The

160 may transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 161, and convert the electrical signal into a sound signal for output by the speaker 161; on the other hand, the microphone 162 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, which is received by the

160 and converted into audio data, which is then processed by the audio

180 and then transmitted to, for example, another electronic device via the
