Abstract

An electronic device includes a sensing module and a processing module. The processing module stores a reference value and a control value. The sensing module is configured to sense a rotation of an electronic device to receive a rotation signal when the electronic device rotates. The processing module is configured to transform the rotation signal to a current value after reading the rotation signal. The processing module is configured to reset the control value to the current value upon determining that the current value is not equal to the reference value. The processing module is configured to control the electronic device to rotate according to the control value. A method of rotating the electronic device is also provided.
