In a ringtone control method executed in an electronic device receiving a call, an image capturing device captures images of surroundings of the electronic device in the event of receiving a call. The absence or presence of a person in the surroundings of the electronic device is detected and, if a person is found, whether the person is moving towards or away from the electronic device is detected according to the images. If the person is moving towards the electronic device, a ringtone volume of the call is decreased. If the person is moving away from the electronic device, the ringtone volume of the call is increased.
