Abstract

An electronic device and method for simulating basketball games includes storing original wave data groups of a plurality of standard basketball actions in a storage system, and constructing a coordinate system based on the electronic device. In response to simulating the basketball action by a user holding the electronic device, movement data of the electronic device is detected using an accelerometer. The movement data is converted into wave data to compare with the original wave data groups. In response to determining a matched original wave data group, a prompt message including a name of a standard basketball action corresponding to the matched original wave data group is displayed on a display of the electronic device.
