That is, the portable electronic device 100 of this embodiment can effectively protect children from improper use or watching the display 130 in a dangerous situation (moving state), so as to prevent children from noticing the dangers around them when playing with a mobile phone.

As another example, when the user holds the portable electronic device 100 and executes an application program, the user can view the corresponding screen displayed on the display 130. At this time, the camera unit 121 can be automatically turned on and continuously capture multiple images. The camera unit 121 provides these images to the processor 110, so that the processor 110 analyzes the images to determine whether the user uses the portable electronic device 100 in a moving state. In addition, the gravity unit 123 also provides a plurality of consecutive acceleration values to the processor 110 at the same time, so that the processor 110 analyzes whether the acceleration values change, to assist in determining whether the user uses the portable electronic device 100 in a moving state. That is, the processor 110 can accurately determine whether the user is in a moving state according to the camera unit 121 and the gravity unit 123 at the same time. Then, if the user uses the handheld portable electronic device 100 to execute a specific application in the mobile state, the processor 110 automatically switches the display 130 to display a preset screen, where the preset screen is, for example, a black screen, a reminder screen, or other Warning screen. Until when the user stops moving, the display 130 will return to displaying the corresponding screen. Alternatively, when the display 130 stays displaying the preset picture for a preset time, the display 130 will return to displaying the corresponding picture. That is, the portable electronic device 100 of this embodiment can effectively remind the user that the display 130 is being viewed in an improper way of use or in a dangerous situation (moving state), so as to effectively warn or require the user to stop in a dangerous situation Use your phone.
