An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for operating a DPF (Digital Photo Frame) comprising the steps of: obtaining an induced voltage generated by vibrating the DPF; determining vibrating times of the vibrating according to the induced voltage; determining an operating strategy corresponding to the vibrating according to the vibrating times and a current working state of the DPF; and operating the DPF according to the corresponding operating strategy. According to the embodiment of the present invention, by determining the operating strategy corresponding to the vibrating according to the vibrating times and the current working state of the DPF, and operating the DPF according to the corresponding operating strategy, mechanical buttom operations of a traditional DPF canbe replaced by inducing the vibrations, thereby simplifying user operations, improving interactive experiences between the user and the DPF, and establishing a good interaction between the user and the DPF.
