If the second side 114' is facing the user, a second orientation signal (not shown) is issued. When the processing unit 11 receives an operation command (not shown) and the first 'apostrophe, the operation command is, for example. Yes - the command to start the video conference, the unit 11 〇 initiates the photography function of the first image capturing unit 104. In other words, 201015425 means that the image seen in the screen of the other connection of the video conference is the photograph of the first image capturing unit 104. The processing unit 110 activates the photographing function of the second image capturing unit 106 when the processing unit 110 receives the operation command and the second orientation signal. That is to say, the picture seen in the screen of the other connection end of the video conference is the photographic picture of the second image capturing unit 106. Further, when the electronic device 100 receives an invitation signal (not shown) of a video conference, the user picks up the electronic device 100, and the first face 112 or the second face is invisible to the user. 114, can enter the video conference. Thus, the user does not have to pay special attention to how to rotate the electronic device 100 during picking up the electronic device 100. In addition, if the electronic device 100 is rotated during the progress of the video conference, for example, by the user changing the operation and rotating to the electronic device 100, the orientation detector 108 detects that the electronic device 100 is turning and detecting. The electronic device 100 after the steering is the first face 112 or the second face 114 facing the user. Then, the processing unit 110 activates the camera ® function of the image capturing unit facing the user. Thus, regardless of how the electronic device 200 rotates, the electronic device 100 can always take a picture to the user, so that the other end of the video conference can see the picture captured by the electronic device 100. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flow chart showing the control method of the electronic device with self-azimuth detection function of FIG. The control method includes the following steps. First, in step S302, the processing unit 110 receives an operation command, such as a command to start a video conference. 11 Next, in step S304, the orientation detector 108 detects the first face 112 or the second face 114 toward the preset orientation. The preset orientation is, for example, the location of the user. If the first face 112 is facing the user, the process proceeds to step S306. If the second side 114 is facing the user, the process proceeds to step S308. Then, in step S306, the azimuth detector 108 sends a first direction signal. Then, in step S310, the processing unit 110 activates the first image capturing unit 104 according to the first orientation signal. Alternatively, after step S304, the process proceeds to step S308, and the azimuth detector 108 issues a second orientation signal. Then, in step S312, the processing unit 110 activates the second image capturing unit 106 according to the second orientation signal. For the second embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 simultaneously. FIG. 4 illustrates an electronic device having a self-azimuth detecting function according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 illustrates the electronic device of FIG. A view along the direction V2. The electronic device 200 includes a body 202 and a first image capturing unit, such as a photographic lens 204 or a photographic lens, and a first display unit, such as a first display screen 206 and a second display unit. A second display screen 208, an orientation detector 210 and a processing unit 212. The first image capturing unit of the embodiment is described by taking the photographic lens 204 as an example. The body 202 has a first face 214 and a second face 216, and the first face 12 201015425 214 is opposite the second face 216. The photographic lens 204 and the second display screen 208 are located on the first side 214 and the first display screen 206 is located on the second side 216. The orientation detector 210, such as an acceleration sensor or a gyroscope, is used to detect a first orientation 214 or a second orientation 216 toward a predetermined orientation, such as the position of the user. If the first face 214 is facing the user, a first orientation signal is sent; if the second face 216 is facing the user, a second orientation signal is sent. When the processing unit 212 receives an operation command and a first orientation signal, the operation command is, for example, a command to start a video conference, and the processing unit 212 activates the photographing function of the photographing lens 204 and the display function of the second display screen 208. That is to say, the picture seen in the screen of the other connection of the video conference is the photographic picture of the photographic lens 204, and the second display screen 206 of the electronic device 200 is displayed by the other connection end of the video conference. After the transfer. If the processing unit 212 receives the operation command and the second orientation signal, the processing unit 210 activates the display function of the second display screen 208. That is to say, the facet transmitted by the other connection end of the video conference is displayed by the first display screen 206 of the electronic device 200. Further, when the electronic device 200 receives an invitation signal or an incoming call signal of a video conference, the user can pick up the electronic device 200 at hand. Regardless of whether the user is the first face 214 or the second face 216, the user can see the face transmitted by the other end of the video conference. Thus, the user does not have to pay special attention to how to rotate the electronic device 200 during picking up the electronic device 200. In addition, if the electronic device 200 is rotated during the video conference or the incoming call, the example 13 201015425 is rotated to the electronic device 200 by the user's hand-switching operation, the orientation detector 210 automatically detects the electronic device. The 200 is turning and detecting that the turned electronic device 200 is facing the user with the first face 214 or the second face 216. Processing unit 212 then activates the display function of the display screen toward the user. Thus, regardless of how the electronic device 200 rotates, the user of the electronic device 200 can always see the display screen. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a flow chart showing the control method of the electronic device with self-azimuth detection function according to FIG. 4 . The control method includes the following steps
