Abstract

A method for adjusting a working state of an electronic device includes setting a reasonable value range of feature data of a user, and acquiring current feature data of the user from the camera device. The current feature data is compared to the reasonable value range of feature data. A working state of the electronic device is changed when the current feature data is out of the reasonable value range of feature data.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a camera device;

at least one processor coupled to the camera device;

a display device coupled to the at least one processor; and

a storage device storing one or more programs, executable by the at least one processor, to cause the at least one processor to:

set a reasonable value range of feature data of a user;

acquire current feature data of the user from the camera device;

determine whether the current feature data is within the reasonable value range; and

change a working state of the electronic device when the current feature data is out of the reasonable value range;

wherein the feature data includes pixel values of pixel points of an image of the user, a first distance from a head of the user to ground, a second distance between the camera device and the user when the user is using the electronic device.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the reasonable value range of feature data is set by:

recording a video of the user for a predetermined time duration by the camera device after the electronic device is activated;

acquiring the first distance, and the second distance from the camera device every second;

calculating a pixel value, an average first distance, and an average second distance; and

setting the reasonable value range of the pixel value, the first distance, and the second distance.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the current feature data is determined by comparing the current feature data with the reasonable value range of feature data.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the working state of the electronic device is changed by:

stopping or reducing an execution speed of the electronic device.
