Abstract

An electronic device and a work-frequency reducing method thereof are disclosed. The electronic device at least includes a case, a gravity sensor, a pressure sensor and a processing unit. The gravity sensor detects the gravity status of the electronic device and outputs a plurality of gravity detecting signals. The pressure sensor detects the pressure status of the bottom portion of the case and outputs a plurality of pressure detecting signals. The work-frequency reducing method includes the following steps: receiving the gravity detecting signals and judging whether the variation value of the gravity detecting signals is greater than a default gravity value or not; if yes, decreasing the working frequency of the processing unit; receiving the pressure detecting signals and judging whether the pressure detecting signals are greater than a default pressure value or not; and if no, restoring the working frequency of the processing unit.
