Abstract

The disclosure is related to a method for activating an application. The method involves detecting a position status by using at least one sensor, determining whether the position status satisfies a predetermined condition, and executing an application corresponding to the position status when the position status satisfies a predetermined condition. The disclosure is also related to a system for activating an application. The system includes at least one sensor and a processor communicates with the at least one sensor. The sensor detects a position status of an electrical device and generates a detecting signal corresponding to the position status. The processor determines the position status of the electrical device in response to the detecting signal outputted from the sensor, and determines whether the position status satisfies a predetermined condition, and executing an application corresponding to the position status when the position status satisfies a predetermined condition.
