Abstract
A method for integrating a mobile communication device and a portable electronic device is disclosed. A protection cover and an electronic-device body of the portable electronic device are pivotally connected for containing the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device is removably and rotatably connected to the electronic-device body. The method includes detecting whether the mobile communication device is coupled to the electronic-device body by the mobile communication device, detecting whether the protection cover is open by the mobile communication device when the mobile communication device detects electrical connection of the mobile communication device to the electronic-device body, detecting whether the mobile communication device is rotated to a position parallel to a horizontal surface to generate a detection result by the mobile communication device when the protection cover is open, and switching the mobile communication device to a touch mode or an image capturing mode according to the detection result.
