Claim Text:
1. A terminal, comprising: a first component; a connection unit connected to the first component and having a first connection state or a second connection state; a second component connected to the connection unit, the first component and the second component being in a first relative position relationship when the connection unit is in the first connection state, or in a second relative position relationship when the connection unit is in the second connection state; a detection unit configured to detect a relative position relationship between the first component and the second component and generate a first detection result upon detection of the first relative position relationship, or a second detection result upon detection of the second relative position relationship; and a switching unit connected to the detection unit and configured to switch the terminal to a first operation state based on the first detection result, or to a second operation state based on the second detection result, wherein the terminal comprises a first operating system and a second operating system, the first operation state is an operation state in which the first operating system is primarily used and the second operation state is an operation state in which the second operating system is primarily used, wherein, the first component comprises a first display unit; the connection unit comprises a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis, wherein the first rotation axis is a lateral axis and the second rotation axis is a longitudinal axis, one end of the first component is connected to the first axis, the first rotation axis is connected to the second rotation axis, and one end of the second component is connected to the second rotation axis such that the first component is rotatable around the first rotation axis, and the first component and the first rotation axis are rotatable around the second component via the second rotation axis, and wherein the first relative position relationship comprises a state in which an angle between the first component and the second component is smaller than a predetermined angle and the first display unit faces outward, and the second relative position relationship comprises a state in which an angle between the first component and the second component is larger than the predetermined angle and the first display unit faces inward.
