Abstract
An electronic device includes a time of flight (ToF) sensor, a proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor. The ToF sensor, the proximity sensor, and the ambient light sensor are located on a same side of the electronic device. When the ToF sensor is turned on, a light sensor (for example, the proximity sensor and/or the ambient light sensor) may be controlled to be turned off, and when the ToF sensor is turned off, the light sensor may be controlled to be turned on. Alternatively, when the ToF sensor is turned on, data measured by a light sensor is discarded, and when the ToF sensor is turned off, a corresponding function is implemented based on data measured by the light sensor.
