A method for switching modes of an electronic device is presented. The method can collect sound of the predetermined scenario by a collector of the electronic device, and confirm prominent sound from the collected sound. When the duration of the prominent sound is greater than or equal to a first period of time, the method can confirm that the prominent sound is a sample sound, and switch the silent mode to ringing mode of the electronic device when the collector has not collected the prominent sound during a second period of time.

Method for switching mode and electronic device employing the method

A self-image capturing method includes a user activating a capturing device, controlling a light detecting device to detect ambient light intensity around an electronic device, determining whether the light intensity detected by the light detecting device is less than a predetermined value, activating the infrared capturing device when determining that the light intensity detected by the light detecting device is less than the predetermined value, controlling the capturing device to capture a selfie image of the user in response to an operation from the user, controlling the infrared capturing device to capture an infrared selfie image, and synthesizing the two captured images into a single selfie image.
