1. An electronic device, comprising a main board and a camera module, wherein:
the camera module comprises a camera, an image signal processor integrated circuit, a first switch, and a second switch, and the main board comprises a processor;
the camera is configured to acquire image data;
the image signal processor integrated circuit is configured to process the image data acquired by the camera;
the first switch implements a single pole double throw function and is configured to implement switching of the camera to a first path or a second path, wherein the first path is a path through which the image data acquired by the camera is transmitted to the processor, and the second path is a path through which the image data acquired by the camera is processed by the image signal processor integrated circuit and processed image data is transmitted to the processor;
the processor is configured to process the data from the first path or the data from the second path;
the second switch implements a single pole double throw function and is configured to implement switching of the processor to the first path or the second path in the camera module;
a movable terminal of the first switch is connected to the camera, a first fixed terminal of the first switch is connected to a first end of the first path, and a second fixed terminal of the first switch is connected to a first end of the second path;
a movable terminal of the second switch is connected to the processor, a first fixed terminal of the second switch is connected to a second end of the first path, and a second fixed terminal of the second switch is connected to a second end of the second path; and
the first switch and the second switch are configured to:
establish continuity of the first path in a circuit and break continuity of the second path in the circuit when the image data acquired by the camera is to be transmitted through the first path; or
establish continuity of the second path in the circuit and break continuity of the first path in the circuit when the image data acquired by the camera is to be transmitted through the second path.
