Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An electronic device having a first operation mode and a second operation mode, comprising: a first body; a first rotary structure connected to the first body; a support member comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the first rotary structure; a second rotary structure connected to the second end; a second body connected to the second rotary structure; wherein the electronic device is in the first operation mode when the first body and the first rotary structure are separated, the second body and the second rotary structure are separated, or the first body and the first rotary structure are separated and the second body and the second rotary structure are separated; and the electronic device is in the second operation mode when the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected.

2

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a first detecting unit set on the first body or the second body for detecting whether the first body is connected to the first rotary structure; a second detecting unit set on the first body or the second body for detecting whether the second body is connected to the second rotary structure; wherein the first detecting unit and the second detecting unit are same or different detecting units.

3

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first body further comprises a display unit for displaying at least one operation interface.

4

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first body further comprises a state switching unit for switching an operation mode of the electronic device to the first operation mode when the first body and the first rotary structure are separated, the second body and the second rotary structure are separated, or the first body and the first rotary structure are separated and the second body and the second rotary structure are separated and for switching the operation mode of the electronic device to the second operation mode when the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected.

5

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second body comprises a power supply unit for supplying power to the first body when the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected.

6

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the first operation mode is tablet personal computer operation mode, the electronic device further comprises a touch sensing unit set on the first body and being in an enabled state when the first body and the first rotary structure are separated, the second body and the second rotary structure are separated, or the first body and the first rotary structure are separated and the second body and the second rotary structure are separated.

7

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the second operation mode is a notebook computer operation mode, the electronic device further comprises an input unit set on the second body and being in an enabled state when the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected.

8

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic device further comprises: a first data transmitting unit set on the first body; a second data transmitting unit matching with the first data transmitting unit and set on the second body; wherein data transmission is realized between the first body and the second body through the first data transmitting unit and the second data transmitting unit.

9

9. An information processing method applicable to an electronic device comprising a first body; a first rotary structure connected to the first body; a support member comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the first rotary structure; a second rotary structure connected to the second end; and a second body connected to the second rotary structure, comprising: detecting whether the first body is connected to the first rotary structure; detecting whether the second body is connected to the second rotary structure; switching an operation mode of the electronic device to a first operation mode when it is detected that the first body and the first rotary structure are separated, the second body and the second rotary structure are separated, or the first body and the first rotary structure are separated and the second body and the second rotary structure are separated; switching the operation mode of the electronic device to a second operation mode when it is detected that the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected.

10

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the detecting whether the first body is connected to the first rotary structure comprises: detecting whether the first body is connected to the first rotary structure and obtaining a first detecting result; and sending the first detecting result to the first body.

11

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the detecting whether the second body is connected to the second rotary structure comprises: detecting whether the second body is connected to the second rotary structure and obtaining a second detecting result; and sending the second detecting result to the first body.

12

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the switching an operation mode of the electronic device to a first operation mode when it is detected that the first body and the first rotary structure are separated, the second body and the second rotary structure are separated, or the first body and the first rotary structure are separated and the second body and the second rotary structure are separated comprises: generating a first state switching prompt window; detecting whether there is an operation for the first state switching prompt widow; and switching the first body to the first operation mode based on the operation.

13

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the switching the operation mode of the electronic device to a second operation mode when it is detected that the first body and the first rotary structure are connected and the second body and the second rotary structure are connected comprises: generating a second state switching prompt window; detecting whether there is an operation for the second state switching prompt widow; and switching the first body to the second operation mode based on the operation.

14

14. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the switching an operation mode of the first body to the first operation mode based on the operation comprises: switching the operation mode of the first body to the first operation mode when the operation is to determine switching to the first operation mode; and maintaining the operation mode of the first body in the second operation mode when the operation is to cancel switching to the first operation mode.

15

15. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the switching the operation mode of the first body to the second operation mode based on the operation comprises: switching the operation mode of the first body to the second operation mode when the operation is to determine switching to the second operation mode; and maintaining the operation mode of the first body in the first operation mode when the operation is to cancel switching to the second operation mode.

16

16. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the said switching an operation mode of the electronic device to a first operation mode comprises setting a touch sensing unit of the first body as being in an enabled state.

17

17. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the switching the operation mode of the electronic device to a second operation mode comprises setting a touch sensing unit of the first body as being in a disabled state, setting an input unit of the second body as being in an enabled state, or setting a touch sensing unit of the first body as being in a disabled state and setting an input unit of the second body as being in an enabled state.
