1. An electronic device, comprising:
a host system;
at least two input/output modules, configured to realize input and/or output functions of the electronic device; and
a connection device, configured to connect the host system and the at least two input/output modules to enable the at least two input/output modules to perform a same type and/or different types of motion relative to the host system, so that the electronic device has different device forms;
wherein:
the at least two input/output modules have a same posture or different postures relative to the host system when the electronic device is in the different device forms;
the connection device includes:
an assembly structure configured to fix the connection device onto the host system;
a first connection assembly movably connected to the assembly structure and a first input/output module of the at least two input/output modules, and configured to perform a first type of motion relative to the assembly structure, so that the first input/output module has different postures relative to the host system; and
a second connection assembly movably connected to the assembly structure and a second input/output module of the at least two input/output modules, and configured to perform the first type of motion relative to the assembly structure, so that the second input/output module has different postures relative to the host system; and
the first connection assembly and the second connection assembly are configured to perform a second type of motion relative to the assembly structure when the first connection assembly and the second connection assembly are on a same side of the assembly structure, to cause the first input/output module and the second input/output module to be rotated synchronously with an unchanged relative position between the first connection assembly and the second connection assembly and to have different postures relative to the host system.
