The memory 14 is used to store various instructions that the sensor 11 senses the tilt angle of the electronic device 10 and the program executed by the microprocessor 13. Referring to FIG. 2, in the embodiment, it is preferable to use the electronic device 10 at a substantially parallel angle of the user's face and the display screen 12, that is, an angle α between the display screen 12 and the axis Y perpendicular to the ground. The angle A of the axis Y, which is relatively perpendicular to the surface of the user, is substantially equal, such that the user's line of sight is substantially perpendicular to the display screen 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, the microprocessor 13 includes a timing module 130, a determination module 132, and an image control module 134. The timing module 130 is configured to count the duration that the sensor 11 senses the angle formed by the display screen 12 with respect to a reference axis, for example, the angle formed by the display screen 12 with respect to the axis Y perpendicular to the ground direction. One of the durations of α. After the duration of the counting by the timing module 130 reaches a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), the determining module 132 is configured to determine whether the angle α is changed. If the angle α does not change, the image control module 134 outputs a first signal to the display screen 12 to switch the display screen 12 from a first display mode to a second display mode. In this embodiment, in the first display mode, the display screen 12 displays a first image (eg, an arrow in FIG. 2). In the second display mode, the display screen 12 displays a second image, as shown in FIGS. 5(a)-(d). The second image may be an image that is ghosted, tilted, deformed, or blurred based on the first image. Referring to FIG. 6, the second image may also output an image with a prompt pattern or prompt information based on the first image, thereby prompting the user to adjust the use posture and angle. In this embodiment, the timing module 130, the determining module 132, and the image control module 134 can be implemented in the microprocessor 13 in a circuit manner or implemented in the microprocessor 13 by a software module.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, after the display screen 12 is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode, the determining module 132 determines whether the angle α changes by more than a predetermined angle (for example, 30). degree). For example, it is determined whether the angle α of the display screen 12 relative to the axis Y changes to a difference between the angles β and more than 30 degrees. If so, the image control module 134 outputs a second signal to the display screen 12 to display the screen 12 Switching back to the first display mode (as shown in FIG. 2) by the second display mode (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6).

In this embodiment, the reference axis can be any axis that is perpendicular or parallel to the axis of the ground direction or that has an angle relative to the ground.

Step S002: The timing module 130 counts the duration of the angle α formed by the display screen 12 sensed by the sensor 11 with respect to the reference axis Y.

Step S003: After the duration counted by the timing module 130 reaches a preset time (for example, 5 minutes), the determining module 132 determines whether the angle α changes, and if the angle α does not change, Then, step S004 is performed; otherwise, it returns to step S002.

Step S004: The image control module 134 outputs a first signal to the display screen 12 to switch the display screen 12 from a first display mode to a second display mode, thereby prompting the user to adjust the use posture and angle, and then performing the steps. S005.

Step S005: After the display screen 12 is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode, the determining module 132 determines whether the angle α changes by more than a preset angle (for example, 30 degrees), if the preset angle is exceeded. Then, step S006 is performed; otherwise, step S005 is repeatedly performed.

Step S006: The image control module 134 outputs a second signal to the display screen 12 to switch the display screen 12 from the second display mode back to the first display mode, and then returns to step S001 or step S002.

In this manner, the electronic device 10 controls the image display mode displayed on the display screen 12 by sensing whether the angle between the electronic device 10 and the reference axis Y changes, thereby prompting the user to adjust the relative position of the electronic device 10 relative to the reference axis.
