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. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The display screen generally plays a role in an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer to display 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.

As the user demands higher definition and higher fineness of the displayed content, more electronic devices employ touch display screens with larger sizes. 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 a sound outlet hole of the receiver can be eliminated.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Fig. 1 is a front view of the electronic device, and fig. 2 is a side view of the electronic device.

As an embodiment, when the vibration member is the housing 12, the vibration member may be a rear cover of the housing 12.

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 away 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, as shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 100 further includes a circuit 200, and the circuit 200 is connected to the exciter 131. The circuit 200 comprises a detection circuit 210 and a driving circuit 211, wherein the detection circuit 210 is configured to receive instruction information instructing the electronic device to start the camera when the electronic device is in a screen sound emission mode, and the screen vibration sound emission is driven by the exciter in the screen sound emission mode; and in response to the instruction information, determining other areas at least except the target area from the plurality of areas as sound emitting areas, wherein the driving circuit 211 is configured to start the camera and control the exciter to drive the sound emitting areas to vibrate and emit sound. The exciter 131 is connected to the driving circuit 211 of the electronic device 100, and the driving circuit 211 is configured to input a control signal to the exciter 131 according to the vibration parameter, so as to drive the exciter 131 to vibrate, thereby driving the screen 120 to vibrate. Specifically, the driving circuit 211 may be a processor of the electronic device 100, or may be an integrated circuit capable of generating a driving voltage or current in the electronic device 100. The driving circuit outputs a high-low level driving signal to the exciter 131, the exciter 131 vibrates according to the driving signal, and the different electrical parameters of the driving signal output by the driving circuit may cause the different vibration parameters of the exciter 131, for example, the duty ratio of the driving signal corresponds to the vibration frequency of the exciter 131, and the amplitude of the driving signal corresponds to the vibration amplitude of the exciter 131.

Examples

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a first sound emission control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The sound production control method is used for controlling other areas except the area where the camera is located to produce sound in a vibration mode when the camera is started, so that the influence of screen vibration sound production on camera shooting is weakened, and the shooting effect is improved. In a specific embodiment, the sound emission control method is applied to the sound emission control device 300 shown in fig. 7 and the electronic device 100 (fig. 1 and 2) equipped with the sound emission control device 300. The specific process of the present embodiment will be described below by taking an electronic device as an example, and it is understood that the electronic device applied in the present embodiment may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a wearable electronic device, and the like, which is not limited herein. As will be described in detail with respect to the flow shown in fig. 4, the sound production control method may specifically include the following steps:

step S110: when the electronic device is in a screen sound production mode, receiving instruction information indicating that the electronic device starts the camera, wherein in the screen sound production mode, the exciter drives the screen to vibrate and produce sound.

In this embodiment, the screen of the electronic device may be used for vibration sound generation, and is suitable for a non-headset call mode of the electronic device, where the non-headset call mode includes a hands-free mode and an earpiece mode, and is used for playing a voice signal sent by the electronic device during a call, playing a video, and the like. In this embodiment, when the electronic device is in the non-earphone mode, the electronic device may be set to the screen sound emission mode by default, or the user may select whether to set the screen sound emission mode by himself, which is not limited herein. It is understood that the electronic device may include a speaker mode, etc. in addition to the screen sound emission mode, in which sound is emitted by the vibration of the speaker.

As one manner, whether the electronic device is in the screen sound production mode during a call or playing a video, or not, specifically, whether the electronic device is connected with an earphone may be determined first, where the determination may be made by checking a state of an earphone connection hole of the electronic device, for example, when the earphone connection hole of the electronic device is connected with the earphone, a first state value is returned, when the earphone in the connection hole is pulled out, a second state value is returned, and whether the current electronic device is connected with the earphone may be determined by detecting the first state value and the second state value. As a mode, the Android system sends a broadcast when the earphone is plugged into and unplugged from the connection hole, so the electronic device can determine whether the earphone is currently connected by monitoring the broadcast, and thus, can determine whether the electronic device is in an earphone call mode. Further, when it is determined that the electronic apparatus is in the non-headset call mode, the electronic apparatus is in the earpiece mode or the handsfree mode, and thus, the electronic apparatus may be considered to be in the screen sound emission mode at this time.

Alternatively, since the screen is driven to emit sound by the actuator in the screen-emission mode, it is possible to determine whether the electronic apparatus is in the screen-emission mode by detecting the state of the actuator. Specifically, the state of the exciter is detected, wherein when the exciter is detected to be in the working state and the screen is driven to vibrate, the electronic device can be considered to be in the screen sounding mode.

Further, when the electronic device is in the screen sound production mode, whether the electronic device receives instruction information indicating that the camera is started can be detected. For example, when a touch operation acting on a camera class icon is detected, a touch operation acting on a control for instructing the electronic device to perform image acquisition is detected, or voice information for inputting an instruction of the electronic device to start a camera is detected, the camera representing the electronic device is instructed to start. Optionally, in this embodiment, the camera is a front camera, and the camera is disposed in a target area of a plurality of areas of the screen, and it can be understood that the target area may include one area, two areas, three areas, and the like of the plurality of areas, which is not limited herein.

Step S120: and determining other areas except at least the target area from the plurality of areas as sounding areas in response to the instruction information.

In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal determines, as the sound emission area, an area other than at least the target area from the plurality of areas in response. Specifically, it is assumed that the screen includes four areas, namely, an area a, an area B, an area C, and an area D, and the camera is disposed in the area a, at this time, at least other areas except the area a may be used as a sound emission area, for example, the area B may be used as a sound emission area, the area C may be used as a sound emission area, the area D may be used as a sound emission area, the area B and the area C may be used together as a sound emission area, the area B and the area D may be used together as a sound emission area, the area C and the area D may be used together as a sound emission area, or the area B, the area C, and the area D may be used together as a sound emission area, so as to avoid the problem that focusing is impossible or difficult when the camera.

Step S130: and starting the camera and controlling the exciter to drive the sound production area to produce sound in a vibration mode.

Further, the electronic device responds to the instruction information to start the camera, and controls the exciter to drive the determined sound production area to produce sound in a vibration mode. It can be understood that, if before the instruction information is received, when all areas of the electronic device vibrate to sound, after the instruction information is received, only the target area where the camera is located needs to be controlled not to vibrate to sound, or the partial area including the target area where the camera is located does not vibrate to sound. So as to weaken the influence of screen sounding on image acquisition of the camera.

As one way, in this embodiment, the exciter has a plurality of vibration units disposed corresponding to a plurality of areas, that is, one vibration unit for each area, and each vibration unit is used for driving the corresponding area to vibrate and generate sound, specifically, after the sound generation area is determined from the plurality of areas, the camera is started, and the vibration unit corresponding to each area in the sound generation area is controlled to drive each area to vibrate and generate sound. Further, as another mode, each vibration unit corresponds to different vibration parameters, and therefore, after the sound emission areas are determined from a plurality of areas, the camera is started, and the vibration unit corresponding to each area in the sound emission areas is controlled to drive each sound emission area to vibrate according to the corresponding vibration parameters. As an implementation manner, after the sound emission area is determined from the plurality of areas, in order to keep the volume of the electronic device unchanged from the volume before the camera is started, the vibration parameters of other vibration units may be correspondingly controlled to be increased so as to compensate for the lack of volume when the target area does not vibrate for sound emission.

The first sound production control method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is in the screen sound production mode, the instruction information for instructing the electronic device to start the camera is received, wherein, in the screen sound production mode, the screen is driven by the exciter to vibrate and produce sound, the instruction information is responded, other areas at least except a target area are determined from a plurality of areas to serve as sound production areas, the camera is started, the exciter is controlled to drive the sound production areas to vibrate and produce sound, therefore, when the camera is started, other areas at least except the area where the camera is located are controlled to vibrate and produce sound, the influence on the camera shooting when the screen vibrates and produces sound is weakened, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a second sound emission control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As will be explained in detail with respect to the flow shown in fig. 5, the method may specifically include the following steps:

step S210: when the electronic device is in a screen sound production mode, receiving instruction information indicating that the electronic device starts the camera, wherein in the screen sound production mode, the exciter drives the screen to vibrate and produce sound.

Step S220: and responding to the instruction information, displaying a selection control on the screen, and detecting a selection operation acted on the selection control.

As one mode, when receiving instruction information instructing the electronic device to start the camera, the electronic device displays a selection control on the screen in response, where the selection control may be displayed above a currently displayed page of the screen in a floating manner or displayed in the same level as the currently displayed page of the screen, and is not limited herein. Further, the selection control may include at least two options of "yes" and "no", and the selection operation performed on the selection control is detected, that is, the selection operation performed on "yes" and "no" are detected, it is understood that when the touch operation performed on the option "yes" is detected, the representation user indicates to turn off the screen sound emission mode, and when the touch operation performed on the option "no" is detected, the representation user indicates not to turn off the screen sound emission mode, that is, to keep the screen sound emission mode.

Step S230: when the selection operation indicates that the electronic device closes the screen sound production mode, the electronic device is controlled to be switched to a loudspeaker sound production mode from the screen sound production mode, wherein the loudspeaker vibrates to produce sound under the loudspeaker sound production mode.

In this embodiment, the electronic device further includes a speaker for generating sound by vibration, wherein the speaker may be disposed inside the electronic body and generates sound through a sound output hole disposed at the bottom of the electronic device, and specifically, the speaker generates mechanical vibration to push the surrounding air, so that the air medium fluctuates to realize the conversion of "electricity-force-sound". Further, the electronic device may include a speaker sound emission mode in which sound is emitted by the speaker vibration in addition to the screen sound emission mode. Therefore, as a mode, when the selection operation is detected to indicate that the electronic device turns off the screen sounding mode, the electronic device can be controlled to be switched from the screen sounding mode to the loudspeaker sounding mode, so that the influence of sounding of the electronic device on focusing when the camera collects images is weakened to the maximum extent.

Step S240: when the selection operation indicates that the electronic device maintains the screen sound emission mode, determining other areas at least except the target area from the plurality of areas as the sound emission areas.

When the selection operation instructs the electronic device to maintain the screen sound emission mode, the user is instructed to continue to use the screen sound emission mode, and the other area at least except the target area is determined as the sound emission area from the plurality of areas.

Step S250: and starting the camera and controlling the exciter to drive the second area to vibrate and sound, or starting the camera and controlling the exciter to drive the first area and the second area to vibrate and sound together.

In this embodiment, please refer to fig. 6, as a manner, the plurality of regions further includes a first region and a second region, that is, the plurality of regions includes the first region, the second region and a target region, the first region is denoted as S1, the second region is denoted as S2, and the target region is denoted as S3, wherein the first region S1 is located between the second region S2 and the target region S3, it can be understood that a relative size relationship among the first region S1, the second region S2 and the target region S3 is not limited herein. Further, in the present embodiment, the electronic device activates the camera in response to the instruction information, and controls the exciter to drive the second area S2 to make a vibration sound, or controls the exciter areas, the first area S1 and the second area S2 to make a vibration sound, specifically, the vibration unit corresponding to the second area S2 may be controlled to drive the second area S2 to make a vibration sound, or the vibration unit corresponding to the second area S2 may be controlled to drive the second area S2 to make a vibration sound and the vibration unit corresponding to the first area S1 may be controlled to drive the first area S1 to make a vibration sound, that is, in the present embodiment, since the second area S2 is further away from the target area S3 than the first area S1, that is, the second area S2 is further away from the camera than the first area S1, which has a smaller influence on the camera when the vibration sound is made to make a vibration sound than the first area S1, the second area S2 may be preferentially controlled to make a vibration sound, or controlling the first area S1 and the second area S2 to vibrate and generate sound together according to the sound generation requirement.

For example, a current volume value of the electronic device is obtained, where the current volume value may be a volume value of the electronic device when the electronic device receives instruction information instructing to start the camera, or may be a volume value of the electronic device when the electronic device determines a sound emitting area from a plurality of areas, and is not limited herein. As a manner, the electronic device is preset and stores a preset volume value, where the preset volume value is used as a basis for determining a current volume value, that is, after the current volume value is obtained, the current volume value is compared with a preset volume value to determine whether the current volume value is greater than the preset volume value, where when the current volume value is not greater than the preset volume value, the camera may be correspondingly started and the exciter may be controlled to drive the second area S2 to vibrate and generate sound to obtain a relatively smaller volume, or when the current volume value is greater than the preset volume value, the camera may be correspondingly started and the exciter may be controlled to drive the first area S1 and the second sound generation area S2 to vibrate together to obtain a relatively larger volume.

A second sound emission control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, when an electronic device is in a screen sound emission mode, receiving instruction information instructing the electronic device to start a camera, wherein in the screen sound emission mode, a screen is driven by an exciter to vibrate and emit sound, a selection control is displayed on the screen in response to the instruction information, and a selection operation acting on the selection control is detected, and when the selection operation instructs the electronic device to turn off the screen sound emission mode, the electronic device is controlled to switch from the screen sound emission mode to a speaker sound emission mode, wherein in the speaker sound emission mode, sound is emitted by a speaker in a vibrating manner, and when the selection operation instructs the electronic device to maintain the screen sound emission mode, a region other than at least a target region is determined from a plurality of regions as a sound emission region, the camera is started and the exciter is controlled to drive a second region to vibrate and emit sound, or the camera is started and the exciter is controlled to drive a first region and the second region to vibrate, compared with the first sound production control method, the method can also control the electronic device to adopt different sound production modes according to the selection of the user, automatically control different areas to produce sound, and enhance the applicability of the electronic device.
