That is, in the other embodiments, the dragging signal can be, for example, generated by any form of input method such as pressing a physical key on the electronic device or a virtual key displayed by the display panel.

Furthermore, the following description accompanying with FIG. 5 details the steps for switching the displaying mode from displaying all of the thumbnail images in the same frame (i.e. the thumbnail displaying mode) to displaying at least one of the pages of contents in the page flow (i.e. the page displaying mode). FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a display method for an electronic device according to the other embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 5, when the thumbnail images 302a′, 302b′, 302c′, 302d′, 302e′, 302f′ and 302g′ are displayed on the display panel 102 according to the arranging order, the touch sensing module 104 receives a selecting signal for selecting one of the thumbnail images (step S501). Thereafter, the image resizing module 106 resizes the thumbnail images to be the pages of contents respectively according to the selecting signal (step S505). Then, the displaying module 108 displays at least one of the pages of contents on the display panel according to the selecting signal (step S511).

It should be noticed that the displayed page of content corresponds to the selected thumbnail image and the pages of contents are contiguously arranged in the page flow according to the arranging order. In one embodiment, when the steps for switching the displaying mode from the thumbnail displaying mode. the page displaying mode after the sorting module 110 changes the arranging order shown in step S405, the pages of contents are contiguously arranged in the page flow according to the changed arranging order after the displaying mode is switched from the thumbnail displaying mode to the page displaying mode. In addition, the selecting signal is generated at a location of the touch sensing module 104 corresponding to one of the thumbnail images so that the thumbnail image corresponding to the location is selected to be resized to the page of content displayed on the display panel 102. Also, the selecting signal generated at a location of the touch sensing module 104 is only an exemplar of the present invention and is not used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, in the other embodiments, the selecting signal can be, for example, generated by any form of input method such as pressing a physical key on the electronic device or a virtual key displayed by the display panel.

In the present invention, the displayed page of content is resized according to a zoom-out signal and then the thumbnail images respectively corresponding to the pages of contents contiguously arranged in the page flow are displayed in the same display region of the display panel. That is, the user can easily browse all of the pages of contents in the forms of thumbnail images arranging in the same display region of the display panel. Thus, by comparing with the conventional page browsing method in which the user needs to roll over almost all pages of contents to select one of them, it is convenient for the user to select to expand one of thumbnail images in order to select the corresponding page of content. Furthermore, by easily dragging the thumbnail images from the original arranged position to a new position around the other thumbnail images in the display region of the display panel, the arranging order of the pages of contents in the page flow can be changed. Hence, the operation for rearranging the pages of contents is simplified.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.
