1. A multi-mode foldable electronic apparatus, comprising:

  • a first housing;

    a second housing;

    a first hinge for connecting the first housing and the second housing;

    a second hinge for connecting the first housing and the second housing;

    a first magnet disposed in the first housing;

    a second magnet disposed in the first housing and on one side of the first hinge;

    a first magnetism sensor disposed in the second housing to opposite to the first magnet, for sensing changes in first magnetism of the first magnet to generate a first signal thereby;

    a second magnetism sensor disposed in the second housing to opposite to the second magnet, for sensing changes in second magnetism of the second magnet to generate a second signal thereby; and

    a system connected to the first magnetism sensor and the second magnetism sensor, for receiving the first signal and the second signal and changing the mode of the multi-mode foldable electronic apparatus, wherein the system receives the first signal and the second signal simultaneously when the first housing rotates relative to the second housing via the second hinge.
