1. A method for adjusting a volume of an electronic device, comprising:
activating a distance detection module in the electronic device to measure distances between a volume adjusting member and the distance detection module, the distance detection module comprising at least one distance sensor; obtaining, by the at least one distance sensor, a plurality of distance measure values between the volume adjusting member and the distance detection module; converting each of the distance measure values into a respective distance indicator and obtaining a sequence of distance indicators; wherein the plurality of distance measure values are converted into the respective distance indicator by: comparing the plurality of distance measure values with distance reference values pre-stored in the electronic device; and in response to finding a difference between a distance measure value and a distance reference value is less than a predetermined threshold, determining the distance reference value as a distance indicator corresponding to the distance measure value; and adjusting the volume of the electronic device according to the distance measure values obtained by the at least one distance sensor.
