Patent ID: 8385849

Claim:
A communication device comprising: a main body comprising a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface; and a standby mode switch system comprising: a mode selection module comprising a vibration mode; a first position detection module positioned on the back surface of the main body; a second position detection module positioned on the front surface of the main body; and a control module connecting to the mode selection module, the first position detection module, and the second position detection; wherein the control module is configured for turning on one of the first and the second position detection modules and turning off the other one of the first and the second position detection modules according to detection signals output from the first and the second position detection modules, the control module is configured for turning on the vibration mode when the mode selection module selects the vibration mode and an incoming call, the control module is configured for turning off the vibration mode when the first position detection module detects a distance from the first position detection module to an adjacent object element is greater than a predetermined value, and the control module is configured for turning off the vibration mode when the second position detection module detects a distance from the second position detection module to the adjacent object element is greater than the predetermined value.
