Abstract
A method, for rotating a display image of an electronic device, includes the following steps. Whether an absolute rotation angle of a display of the electronic device relative to a gravity axis is equal to or greater than a predetermined absolute angle threshold is detected. Whether a relative rotation angle of the display relative to a base of the electronic device is between a first and a second relative angle threshold is detected. The display image is maintained when the absolute rotation angle is equal to or greater than the predetermined absolute angle threshold and the relative rotation angle is between the first and second relative angle thresholds. The display image is rotated when the absolute rotation angle of the display is equal to or greater than the predetermined absolute angle threshold but the relative rotation angle is not between the first and second relative angle thresholds.
