Abstract
An electronic apparatus and a sharing method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes an input device, a control module, a signal processing module and a connection module and is selectively electrically connected to an external electronic apparatus. The input device produces a control signal according to input information. The control module determines whether to share the input device with the external electronic apparatus and according to the determination result, outputs the control signal either to the signal processing module through a first signal transmission path or to the connection module through a second signal transmission path. When receiving the control signal through the first signal transmission path, the signal processing module executes an input operation. When receiving the control signal through the second signal transmission path, the connection module outputs the control signal to the external electronic apparatus.
