A method of locating peripheral device applied to an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device is connected or electrically connected to a peripheral device. The method includes: obtaining a first location information via a locating unit; when the first connecting unit is connected to the second connecting unit, sending the first location information to the peripheral device; after the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are separated, obtaining the first location information sent by the second transmitter via the first transmitter; obtaining a second location information via the locating unit; comparing the first location information and the second location information to determine the relative position of the electronic device and the peripheral device.

Method of locating peripheral device, computer program product and electronic device thereof

An auxiliary opening and closing mechanism includes a moving magnetic component, an electromagnetic component, a fixing magnetic component, a detecting unit, a power unit, and a control unit. The electromagnetic component and the moving magnetic component are disposed in one of a display module and a host module of a portable electronic device. The fixing magnetic component is disposed in the other one of the display module and the host module. The detecting unit is for detecting a disposing angle of the portable electronic device. The control unit controls the power unit to provide a current for the electromagnetic component according to the disposing angle, so that the electromagnetic component drives the moving magnetic component to move to a first position for generating a magnetic attracting force between the moving magnetic component and the fixing magnetic component to attach the monitor module and the host module to each other.
