Disclosed is a method and apparatus for detecting a position of a folder
in a rotation touch phone having a camera. The rotation touch phone
includes a sensor section, a folder, a body, and a connecting section.
The folder has a magnet and the sensor section includes first, second and
third sensors for detecting the magnet. The first and second sensors are
located on the body and the third sensor is located on the connecting
section. The connecting section connects the folder to the body. The
folder is movable from first, second, third and fourth states. The first
state signifies a state in which the folder is initially closed, the
second state signifies a state in which the folder has been opened from
the first state, the third state signifies a state in which the folder
has been rotated substantially 180 degrees from the second state, and the
fourth state signifies a state in which the folder has been closed from
the third state. The method comprises the steps of: i) receiving a signal
from the sensor section notifying that the sensor section detects the
magnet; and ii) deciding that the folder is in at least one of the first
to fourth states, based on the signal input from the sensor section.
