Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing the description, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

Electronic devices often produce sound through speakers, earphones, and the like, which often require openings in the electronic devices. On one hand, the product performance is reduced due to the open pores, and in order to achieve the appearance effect, various manufacturers try to reduce the size of the open pores, but the smaller the open pores are, the more the performance is affected; on the other hand, the screen accounts for the higher full screen user experience better, but because need keep certain panel region for the receiver realizes the vocal function, at the regional trompil of panel, can't realize full screen, influence user experience.

In addition, the display screen generally plays a role in an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer to display contents such as text, pictures, icons, or video. With the development of touch technologies, more and more display screens arranged in electronic devices are touch display screens, and when a user is detected to perform touch operations such as dragging, clicking, double clicking, sliding and the like on the touch display screen, the touch operations of the user can be responded under the condition of arranging the touch display screens.

With the increasing requirements of users on the definition and the fineness of displayed contents, more electronic devices adopt touch display screens with larger sizes to achieve the display effect of a full screen. However, in the process of setting a touch display screen with a large size, it is found that functional devices such as a front camera, a proximity optical sensor, and a receiver, which are disposed at the front end of the electronic device, affect an area that the touch display screen can extend to.

Generally, an electronic device includes a front panel, a rear cover, and a bezel. The front panel includes a forehead area, a middle screen area and a lower key area. Generally, the forehead area is provided with a sound outlet of a receiver and functional devices such as a front camera, the middle screen area is provided with a touch display screen, and the lower key area is provided with one to three physical keys. With the development of the technology, the lower key area is gradually cancelled, and the physical keys originally arranged in the lower key area are replaced by the virtual keys in the touch display screen.

The earphone sound outlet holes arranged in the forehead area are important for the function support of the mobile phone and are not easy to cancel, so that the difficulty in expanding the displayable area of the touch display screen to cover the forehead area is high. After a series of researches, the inventor finds that sound can be emitted by controlling the screen, the frame or the rear cover of the mobile phone to vibrate, so that the arrangement of sound emitting devices such as a sound outlet hole of a receiver and a loudspeaker can be omitted.

Referring to fig. 1, an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The electronic device 100 comprises an electronic body 10, wherein the electronic body 10 comprises a housing 12 and a screen 120 arranged on the housing 12. The housing 12 may be made of metal, such as steel or aluminum alloy. As shown in fig. 2, the housing 12 may include a front panel 132, a rear cover 133, and a bezel 134, the bezel 134 being used to connect the front panel 132 and the rear cover 133, the screen 120 being disposed on the front panel. In this embodiment, the screen 120 may include a display screen, which generally includes the display panel 111, and may also include a circuit and the like for responding to a touch operation performed on the display panel 111. The Display panel 111 may be a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel, and in some embodiments, the Display panel 111 is a touch screen 109.

The electronic device further comprises an exciter 131, wherein the exciter 131 is used for driving a vibration component of the electronic device to vibrate and sound, specifically, the vibration component is at least one of the screen 120 or the housing 12 of the electronic device, that is, the vibration component can be the screen 120, part or all of the screen, part or all of the housing 12, or a combination of the screen 120 and the housing 12. As an embodiment, when the vibration member is the housing 12, the vibration member may be a rear cover of the housing 12. The embodiment of the present application is mainly explained by controlling the screen sound.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the vibration component is the screen 120, the exciter 131 is connected to the screen 120 for driving the screen 120 to vibrate. In particular, the actuator 131 is attached below the screen 120, and the actuator 131 may be a piezoelectric driver or a motor. In one embodiment, actuator 131 is a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator transmits its own deformation to the screen 120 by a moment action, so that the screen 120 vibrates to generate sound. The screen 120 includes a touch screen and a display screen, the display screen is located below the touch screen, and the piezoelectric driver is attached below the display screen, that is, a surface of the display screen far from the touch screen. The piezoelectric driver includes a plurality of piezoelectric ceramic sheets. When the multilayer piezoelectric ceramic piece produces sound and expands and contracts, the screen is driven to bend and deform, and the whole screen forms bending vibration repeatedly, so that the screen can push air and produce sound.

As an embodiment, the electronic device 100 includes a detection circuit 143, a first driving circuit 135, and a second driving circuit 136, the detection circuit is configured to detect whether a reminder request is received; the first driving circuit is used for driving a first number of sounding areas of the vibration component to vibrate and sound through the exciter under the condition of receiving a reminding request, and carrying out first reminding; the second driving circuit is used for controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate and carry out second reminding on the basis that the first number of sounding areas of the vibration component vibrate and sound if the processing operation of the first reminding is not received within a first preset time length; the first driving circuit is further used for driving the sounding areas of the vibrating parts to sound through vibration through the exciter on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate if the processing operation of the second reminding is not received within a second preset time length, and carrying out third reminding, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

The exciter 131 is connected to a first driving circuit 135 and a second driving circuit 136 of the electronic device, and the first driving circuit 135 and the second driving circuit 136 are configured to input a control signal to the exciter 131 according to a vibration parameter to drive the exciter 131 to vibrate, so as to drive the vibration component to vibrate. The vibration parameter may be determined by the received sound signal, and specifically may be determined according to a vibration frequency and a vibration amplitude of the sound signal to be sounded.

Specifically, the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit may be processors of the electronic device, or may be integrated circuits capable of generating driving voltages or currents in the electronic device. The first driving circuit and the second driving circuit output high and low level driving signals to the exciter 131, and the exciter 131 vibrates according to the driving signals, but the different electrical parameters of the driving signals output by the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit may cause the different vibration parameters of the exciter 131, for example, the duty ratio of the driving signals corresponds to the vibration frequency of the exciter 131, and the amplitude of the driving signals corresponds to the vibration amplitude of the exciter 131.

In the present embodiment, there may be two or more actuators 131. As shown in fig. 1, the plurality of actuators 131 may be uniformly distributed on the screen 120, so that the screen 120 may divide different sound emission areas according to the settings of the actuators. Wherein each sound emitting area can be driven to emit sound by one or more than one actuator 131, and different sound emitting areas are driven to emit sound by different actuators. When the same sounding area is driven by a plurality of exciters to sound, the exciters can be uniformly controlled, so that the vibration of one sounding area is consistent under the driving of the exciters, and the sounding is consistent.

For example, the distribution of the drivers and the sound emitting areas may be as shown in fig. 3, and the number of the drivers is 4, then the display screen may include 4 rectangular areas a, b, c, and d, which are equally divided by the center line in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction as shown by the dashed line division in fig. 3, where the 4 drivers are disposed below the 4 rectangular areas, the 4 drivers are in one-to-one correspondence with the 4 rectangular areas, and each rectangular area may be used as one sound emitting area.

As another example, the drivers and the sound emission areas are distributed as shown in fig. 4, and the display screen includes 7 rectangular areas a1 to a7 as shown by the dashed line partitions in fig. 4, each of which serves as a sound emission area and is driven by one or more drivers. Of course, the number of the exciters is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the specific distribution of the exciters and the specific division of the sound emitting area are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When the sound is produced through the screen, the sound can be produced by one sound production area, and a plurality of sound production areas or all the sound production areas. The inventor finds that in the case of reminding a user, the reminding effect is not ideal only by a single sound, and the user may not be noticed due to no gradient.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a reminding method, a reminding device, an electronic device and a computer readable medium, wherein a screen is divided into a plurality of sounding areas, when reminding is needed, reminding is performed through partial areas, and after reminding for a period of time, if the processing of the reminding by a user is not received, a motor is added to control the electronic device to vibrate, so that the reminding strength is improved; if the processing operation for the reminding is not received, the number of the sounding areas can be increased again to perform sounding reminding, a multi-level reminding mode is formed, and reminding strength is gradually increased layer by layer so as to obtain a good reminding effect. The following describes a reminding method, a reminding device, an electronic device and a computer readable medium provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a reminding method applied to an electronic device. As described above, the electronic device includes a motor for controlling the electronic device to vibrate, a vibration component capable of generating sound by vibration, and an actuator for driving the vibration component to generate sound by vibration, the vibration component is at least one of a screen or a housing of the electronic device, the vibration component includes a plurality of sound generation areas, and each sound generation area is driven by a different actuator to generate sound. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the reminding method may specifically include the following steps:

step S110: and under the condition of receiving a reminding request, driving a first number of sounding areas of the vibration component to vibrate and sound through the exciter to carry out first reminding.

And the electronic device responds to the reminding request and sends a reminding signal under the condition of receiving the reminding request. The reminding request can be a connection request sent by responding to other electronic devices, such as a received voice call connection request, a received video call connection request, and the like; the reminder request may also be a reminder request sent in response to a reminder requirement of the electronic device itself, for example, an alarm clock reminder, a task reminder, and the like, and the specific reminder request is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When a reminder request is received, a first reminder for the user can be formed by firstly carrying out vibration sounding through a first number of sounding areas in the vibration component.

The specific numerical value of the first number is not limited in this embodiment, and the sound emitting areas of the first number may be one sound emitting area or a plurality of sound emitting areas. The first number is smaller than the total number of sound emission areas provided to the vibration member.

The first number of sound emitting areas may be selected from the sound emitting areas in the screen, or may be selected from the casing, or both the screen and the casing may select the first number of sound emitting areas, and the specific selection manner is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first number of sound emitting areas may be selected from the casing, so that if the user uses the electronic device, the casing emits sound and vibrates, and the influence of the vibration on the screen may be reduced as much as possible.

Optionally, when the reminding request is received, whether the rear cover of the electronic device faces downwards or not can be judged through the attitude sensor. If the rear cover faces downwards, a first number of sound production areas are selected from the rear cover to produce sound, and if the screen faces downwards, a first number of sound production areas are selected from the screen to produce sound. Therefore, if the electronic device is arranged on an object such as a desktop, the sound production area is arranged on the surface, which is in contact with the surface of the object, downwards to produce sound in a vibration mode, and the user can prompt with low strength under the condition that the user can respond to the prompt request in real time. The attitude sensor may be an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or the like, and is not limited in this embodiment, and the detection of the attitude of the electronic device by the attitude sensor is also not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, under the condition that the reminding request is received, whether the screen or the rear cover is shielded or not can be judged through devices such as the proximity optical sensor and the camera, a first number of sounding areas are selected from the sounding areas corresponding to the shielded side to perform vibration sounding to perform first reminding, and under the condition that a user possibly responds to the reminding request in real time, reminding with small strength is performed.

Step S120: and if the processing operation of the first prompt is not received within a first preset time span, controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate for second prompt on the basis of the vibration and sound production of the sound production areas of the first number of the vibration parts.

If the processing operation of the first reminder is not received within the first preset time span, it indicates that the user may not notice the reminder, and the reminding strength needs to be increased. In the embodiment of the present application, the manner of increasing the reminding strength may be to continue to keep the sound-emitting area in step S110 vibrating to emit sound, and on this basis, increase the vibration to the electronic device itself.

The vibration of the electronic device can be realized through a motor in the electronic device, and the motor is driven to vibrate to drive the electronic device to vibrate. When the electronic device is driven by the motor, a corresponding driving signal can be generated for the motor, for example, on the hardware of the electronic device, the motor is controlled through an IO port (GPIO). For a motor, the IO port may be understood as a switch, when the switch is closed, the motor vibrates; the switch is opened and the motor stops vibrating. Therefore, the driving signal can be transmitted to the IO port corresponding to the motor, and the vibration of the motor can be controlled by the IO port.

When the sounding areas of the first number vibrate to sound, the electronic device is driven by the motor to vibrate, and the sounding areas and the motor are simultaneously driven to vibrate to form a second prompt. This second warning is only for the convenience of description, and the mutual support with aforementioned first warning, the sound production region of first quantity is vibration sound production continuously promptly, reaches first preset time when the sound production time, still does not receive user's processing operation, and the sound production region vibration sound production of first quantity continues, starts the vibration of motor vibration drive electron device simultaneously.

Of course, in the sound production process from the sound production areas of the first number, if the processing operation of the user on the first prompt corresponding to the sound production is received within the first time length, the prompt process is stopped, the sound production areas of the first number do not produce sound, and the motor does not start to vibrate.

The processing operation on the first reminder can be a user response operation corresponding to different reminder requests, such as hanging up and answering a voice call, a video call, and the like, closing an alarm clock or delaying a reminder operation, and the like. The specific duration of the first time length is not limited, and may be set by a user or a default value.

Step S130: and if the processing operation of the second prompt is not received within a second preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, driving the vibration parts to vibrate and sound through the exciters in the sound-emitting areas of the second number to carry out third prompt, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

If the processing operation of the second reminder is not received within a second preset time span, the reminding strength of the second reminder is still not enough to attract the attention of the user, and the reminding strength can be increased again.

Because the vibration part that the electronic device is used for vibration sound production includes a plurality of vocal areas, then on the basis of aforementioned warning, can drive the vocal area of more quantity and vibrate the sound production. If the sounding areas driving the second number vibrate to sound, the second number is larger than the first number, a stronger reminding is formed, the reminding at the moment is defined as a third reminding, and the third reminding, the first reminding and the second reminding are defined as convenient description and are a continuous reminding process which continuously supports and continuously strengthens the reminding strength.

The specific value of the second number is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and may be equal to or smaller than the number of all sound emission areas of the vibration component.

As an embodiment, the number of the sounding areas may be increased again on the basis of the above-mentioned reminder. That is to say, can be on the basis that first quantity phonation area carries out vibration phonation, motor vibration drive electron device vibration, add new phonation area and carry out vibration phonation, the quantity of the phonation area of adding equals the difference of second quantity and first quantity.

As an embodiment, on the basis that the motor drives the electronic device to vibrate, the second number of sound emitting areas are selected from all the sound emitting areas of the vibration component to vibrate and emit sound.

It can be understood that, in the sound production process that the sound production area of first quantity begins the sound production, if in second time length, receive the processing operation that the user reminded to the second that this sound production corresponds, then stop reminding the process, the sound production area is no longer reminded corresponding sound production, and the motor is no longer reminded corresponding vibration.

The processing operation for the second reminder may be the same as the processing operation for the first reminder, and is not described herein again. The specific duration of the second time length is not limited, and may be set by a user or a default value. And, the second time length may be longer than the first time length or shorter than the first time length, or the same as the first time length.

In the embodiment of the present application, the sound signal according to which the sound-emitting area emits sound by vibration may be a sound signal pre-stored in the electronic device, such as a ring signal corresponding to a ring file stored in the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the application, under the condition of responding to the reminding request, if the processing operation of the user on the reminding is not received, the sound production areas of the first number are used for producing sound for reminding, then the motor drive electronic device is added for vibrating, and then the number of the sound production areas is increased to the second number. In the reminding process, sounds emitted by the first quantity, sounds generated by vibration of the electronic device and sounds generated by vibration of the second quantity sound production area are used for producing sounds, the reminding strength is gradually improved layer by layer, and more hierarchical reminding is achieved. The reminding method has the advantages that the phenomenon that the reminding strength is too large when the reminding is started is avoided, and the reminding strength can be increased under the condition that the user does not respond in time, so that the attention of the user is attracted as much as possible.

In the reminding method provided by the application, if the second number is smaller than the number of all the sounding areas of the vibration part, the number of the sounding areas of the vibration sounding can be continuously increased on the basis of reminding of the second number of the sounding areas. Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the method includes:

step S210: under the condition of receiving a reminding request, driving a first number of sounding areas of the vibration component to vibrate and sound through an exciter to carry out first reminding;

step S220: if the processing operation of the first prompt is not received within a first preset time length, on the basis that the first number of sounding areas of the vibration component vibrate and sound, the motor is controlled to drive the electronic device to vibrate, and a second prompt is carried out;

step S230: and if the processing operation of the second prompt is not received within a second preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, driving the vibration parts to vibrate and sound through the exciters in the sound-emitting areas of the second number to carry out third prompt, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

Step S240: if the processing operation of the third prompt is not received within a third preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, the sounding areas of a third number of the vibrating parts are driven by the exciter to vibrate and sound, and a fourth prompt is carried out, wherein the third number is larger than the second number.

If the processing operation of the third reminder is not received within a third preset time length in the reminding process of the third reminder, the reminding strength of the third reminder is still insufficient to attract the attention of the user, and the reminding strength can be increased again.

Because the vibration part that electron device is used for the vibration sound production includes a plurality of vocal areas, the vocal area's of second quantity has not reached the all vocal area's of vibration part quantity yet, then on the basis that aforementioned third was reminded, can drive the vocal area of more quantity and vibrate the sound production. If the sounding areas driving the third number vibrate to sound, the third number is larger than the second number, a prompt with stronger strength is formed, the prompt at the moment is defined as a fourth prompt, and the fourth prompt, the first prompt, the second prompt and the third prompt are defined as convenient descriptions and are a continuous prompt process which continuously supports and continuously strengthens the prompt strength.

The specific value of the third number is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and may be equal to or smaller than the number of all sound emission areas of the vibration component.

As an embodiment, the number of the sounding areas may be increased again on the basis of the above-mentioned reminder. That is to say, on the basis that the second number of sound production areas are used for carrying out vibration sound production and the motor is used for driving the electronic device to vibrate, a new sound production area is added for carrying out vibration sound production, and the number of the added sound production areas is equal to the difference value between the third number and the second number.

As an embodiment, on the basis that the motor drives the electronic device to vibrate, a third number of sound emitting areas may be selected from all the sound emitting areas of the vibration member to vibrate and emit sound.

If the value of the third quantity is smaller than the value of the total quantity of the sounding areas, the fourth reminding time reaches a fourth preset time length, the processing operation of the user is not received, the number of the sounding areas can be increased again to perform vibration sounding, and the operation is circulated until all the sounding areas of the vibration part perform vibration sounding to remind.

It can be understood that, in the sound production process that the sound production areas of the third number begin to produce sound, if in the third time length, the processing operation that the user reminded the third that this sound production corresponds is received, then the process of reminding is stopped, and the sound production area no longer reminds corresponding sound production, and the motor also no longer reminds corresponding vibration.

The processing operation for the third reminder may be the same as the processing operation for the first reminder, and details are not repeated here. The specific duration of the third preset time length is not limited, and may be set by a user or a default value.

In this embodiment of the present application, the method may further include selecting a sound emitting area, specifically, please refer to fig. 7, and the method includes:

step S310: a reminder request is received.

Step S320: and under the condition of receiving a reminding request, judging whether a vibration sensitive area exists in a screen of the electronic device.

When the reminding request is received, whether a vibration sensitive area exists in a screen of the electronic device or not can be judged, and when the vibration sensitive area, namely a corresponding sound production area, is displayed, the vibration sensitive area is sensitive to vibration sound production and is possibly influenced by vibration. For example, the vibration sensitive area may be a display area of a video. The vibration sensitive area may also be a display area for performing immersive display, in which a corresponding page performs full-screen display, such as a game interface with full-screen display.

Step S330: and if the vibration sensitive area exists, selecting a first number of sound production areas from the parts except the sound production area corresponding to the vibration sensitive area.

If the screen of the electronic device has a vibration sensitive area, the electronic device may be used by a user, and if the sound production area corresponding to the vibration sensitive area produces sound through vibration, a certain sound effect may be provided for the use experience. In addition, the electronic device may be used by a user, and for the first prompt, the sound emitting area with a smaller number may be implemented, and it may not be necessary to vibrate the sound emitting area corresponding to the vibration sensitive area to emit sound. Therefore, a first number of sound emitting areas can be selected for reminding from the areas outside the sound emitting area corresponding to the vibration sensitive area. The sound production area corresponding to the vibration sensitive area is the sound production area at the position of the vibration sensitive area. For example, the vibration sensitive area in the screen corresponds to the sound emission area a7, and when the first number of sound emission areas are selected, the first number of sound emission areas are selected from the sound emission areas other than a 7.

Step S340: and driving the selected first number of sounding areas to vibrate and sound through the exciter to carry out first reminding.

And when the first reminding is carried out, the sound production areas with the first number selected in the steps are vibrated to produce sound.

Step S350: if the processing operation of the first prompt is not received within a first preset time length, on the basis that the first number of sounding areas of the vibration component vibrate and sound, the motor is controlled to drive the electronic device to vibrate, and a second prompt is carried out;

step S360: and if the processing operation of the second prompt is not received within a second preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, driving the vibration parts to vibrate and sound through the exciters in the sound-emitting areas of the second number to carry out third prompt, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

In this embodiment of the present application, the selection of the sound emitting area may also be in other manners, specifically, please refer to fig. 8, and the method provided in this embodiment of the present application may be:

step S410: a reminder request is received.

Step S420: and under the condition of receiving the reminding request, judging whether a sound production area produces sound in a vibration mode.

Step S430: if a sound emission area is vibrating to emit sound, a first number of generation areas are selected from other sound emission areas of the vibration member.

If the electronic device is in use, such as a user playing a game, listening to music, watching video, etc., the sound-producing area is required to produce sound to meet the sound effect requirement. Therefore, when a reminder request is received, the sounding reminder can be given through other sounding areas than the sounding area in which the reminder is sounding.

When a reminder request is received, it can be determined whether or not any sounding region is vibrating and sounding, and if so, a first number of sounding regions are selected from other sounding regions of the vibrating member. For example, when the sound emission area a7 of the vibration member is emitting sound when a reminder request is received and the first number of sound emission areas are selected, the sound emission areas other than a7 are selected.

Step S440: and driving the selected first number of sounding areas to vibrate and sound through the exciter to carry out first reminding.

Step S450: and if the processing operation of the first prompt is not received within a first preset time span, controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate for second prompt on the basis of the vibration and sound production of the sound production areas of the first number of the vibration parts.

Step S460: and if the processing operation of the second prompt is not received within a second preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, driving the vibration parts to vibrate and sound through the exciters in the sound-emitting areas of the second number to carry out third prompt, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if there is a sound production requirement of the target sound production area outside the response of the reminding process, the sound signal corresponding to the sound production is not the sound signal of the reminding process, and then in the whole reminding process, the corresponding sound production may not be reminded through the target sound production area. That is, in the process of increasing the number of sound emission areas, it is possible to increase all the sound emission areas other than the target sound emission area to sound a reminder.

In the embodiment provided by the application, the motor can vibrate under the condition that the vibration reminding is needed. Specifically, referring to fig. 9, the method may include:

step S510: and under the condition of receiving a reminding request, driving a first number of sounding areas of the vibration component to vibrate and sound through the exciter to carry out first reminding.

Step S520: and judging whether the electronic device is connected with an earphone or not.

The earphone connection can be that an earphone is inserted into an earphone hole of the electronic device, and whether the earphone is connected or not can be judged by detecting the insertion state of the earphone hole.

Alternatively, the headset connection may be a wireless connection, such as a bluetooth connection. Whether the Bluetooth connection is connected with the earphone or not can be detected, so that whether the earphone is connected or not can be detected.

Step S530: if the earphone is not connected, under the condition that the processing operation of the first reminding is not received within a first preset time length, on the basis that the sound production areas of the vibration part in the first number vibrate and produce sound, the motor is controlled to drive the electronic device to vibrate, and second reminding is carried out.

Step S540: and if the processing operation of the second prompt is not received within a second preset time span, on the basis of controlling the motor to drive the electronic device to vibrate, driving the vibration parts to vibrate and sound through the exciters in the sound-emitting areas of the second number to carry out third prompt, wherein the second number is larger than the first number.

If the earphone is not connected, the electronic device can perform gradually enhanced reminding, namely adding vibration reminding and reminding with more sounding areas.

If the earphone is connected, the user can wear the earphone, the reminding effect can be achieved by sounding through the sounding areas with the first number, and therefore the motor vibration and the sounding of more sounding areas can be avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, the sounding area is selected from the sounding area of the vibration component to perform vibration sounding reminding, and in the process of reminding layer by layer, the superposition motor controls the electronic device to vibrate, so that the number of the sounding areas is increased. In the embodiment of the application, the motor vibration can be firstly superposed, the number of the sounding areas can be firstly superposed, and the motor vibration can be superposed. The sound producing areas with more quantity vibrate to produce sound, and the vibration of the sound producing areas and the vibration produced by the motor are mutually superposed to produce more obvious reminding effect.

In the sounding process of the sounding area, if the motor vibration is added to enable the electronic device to make the whole sounding vibration, the vibration of the electronic device may influence the vibration sounding of the screen, and the screen vibration parameters of the screen sounding can be determined according to the vibration frequency of the mobile terminal. The specific adjustment mode may be to detect the vibration frequency of the motor, and then search the vibration frequency required by the current sound production area from the corresponding relationship according to the corresponding relationship between the preset motor frequency and the vibration frequency of the sound production area when the screen produces sound.
