Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic device and a method for switching camera modules. The electronic device comprises a camera module, a first capacitive sensing element, a monitoring circuit and ashielding module. The monitoring circuit is electrically connected to the first capacitive sensing element and the camera module. The shielding module comprises a moving part and a first conductive element. The moving part moves relative to the camera module. The first conductive element is disposed on the moving member. When the moving part is positioned at a first position, the first capacitivesensing element senses the first conductive element to generate a sensing signal, the monitoring circuit activates the camera module according to the sensing signal, and the monitoring circuit turnsoff the camera module when the moving member is located at a second position and the first capacitive sensing element does not sense the first conductive element.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic device, in particular to an electronic device that uses a shielding module to cover a camera module. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, many electronic devices, such as smart phones or notebook computers, have the function of taking photos or recording videos. Through the camera module installed on the electronic device, the user can operate the electronic device to obtain various photos. [0003] However, today's society pays more and more attention to personal privacy, and the camera module on the electronic device may have the risk of exposing personal privacy. For example, there may be hackers invading the user's electronic device through illegal or informal means, and spying or secretly recording the daily behavior of the user without the user's knowledge. Therefore, many users will physically block the lens of the camera module by using patches, black tape, or blocking object...
