Abstract

A method and an apparatus for automatically performing auxiliary functions of an electronic device when the device is switched to hold mode. The apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores a table that includes conditions to perform the auxiliary functions in an electronic device. The control unit automatically performs the auxiliary functions when the conditions are met after a hold switch is switched on in the electronic device. The method and apparatus determine the needs of a user when the user switches on the hold function in the electronic device, while at the same time determining the state of the electronic device, in order to perform needed auxiliary functions before switching to the hold mode. Thus, power is conserved and user convenience is enhanced.
