Abstract
An electronic device is provided, which includes: a body; a camera module, rotatably disposed on the body; a motor, connected to the camera module, and configured to drive the camera module to rotate between a front camera position and a rear camera position relative to the body; a first direction sensor, disposed on the body and configured to provide a first sensing signal; a second direction sensor, disposed on the camera module and configured to provide a second sensing signal; and a processor, electrically connected to the motor, the first direction sensor, and the second direction sensor, and the processor is configured to control the motor based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal.
Claims9
An electronic device comprising:
- a body;
- a camera module, rotatably disposed on the body;
- a motor, connected to the camera module, and configured to drive the camera module to rotate between a front camera position and a rear camera position relative to the body;
- a first direction sensor, disposed on the body and configured to provide a first sensing signal;
- a second direction sensor, disposed on the camera module and configured to provide a second sensing signal;
- and
- a processor, electrically connected to the motor, the first direction sensor, and the second direction sensor, and the processor is configured to control the motor based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal;
- wherein when the motor is rotated at a rotating speed for a period of time, the processor is configured to calculate an angle between the camera module and the body based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, if the angle is smaller than a predetermined angle corresponding to the rotating speed and the period of time, the processor determines that the rotation of the camera module is obstructed.
