Abstract
An electronic device providing ringtone control and method include an infrared sensor. When the electronic device receives an incoming call, the electronic device turns on the infrared sensor if the incoming call has not been answered within a first time period. If one or more human bodies are detected by the sensor, the electronic device turns off the ringtone of the electronic device when the incoming call has not been answered within a second time period.
