Abstract

An electronic device switching over a turning on, a turning off and a standby mode is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a sensing unit and a host processing unit. The sensing unit senses a frame image and generates a sensing signal in the standby mode. The host processing unit is electrically connected to the sensing unit for receiving the image signal and performing a host function according to the sensing signal.
