Abstract
An electronic device includes an enclosure, a cover for closing the enclosure, a detecting module, a timer, and a system controller. The detecting module can detect if the cover is opened relative to the enclosure. The timer is coupled to the detecting module. The system controller is coupled to the timer. The timer is configured to time an open period of the cover. The system controller can shut down an operating system of the electronic device when the open period exceeds a predefined period.
