ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a main body;
a cover hinged on the main body;
a first sensor arranged in the main body, the first sensor sensing a change of displacement of the first sensor when the main body is moved to generate a first coordinate information;
a second sensor arranged in the cover, the second sensor sensing a change of displacement of the second sensor when the cover is moved to generate a second coordinate information; and
a processor calculating an angle between the main body and the cover according to the first coordinate information generated by the first sensor and the second coordinate information generated by the second sensor, and controlling the electronic device according to the calculated angle.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a main body, a cover hinged on the main body, a first sensor arranged in the main body, a second sensor arranged in the cover, and a processor. The first sensor senses a change of displacement of the first sensor when the main body is moved to generate a first coordinate information. The second sensor senses a change of displacement of the second sensor when the cover is moved to generate a second coordinate information. The processor calculates an angle between the main body and the cover according to the first coordinate information and the second coordinate information, and controls the electronic device according to the calculated angle. A method for controlling an electronic device is also provided.
