1 is a schematic view showing a component of a handheld electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a view showing a component of a handheld electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the handheld electronic device assembly of an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a handheld electronic device 100 and a storage unit 200 . The storage unit 200 is, for example, a mobile phone cover for accommodating the handheld electronic device 100. As shown in the figure, the storage unit 200 mainly includes a cover 200a and a carrying portion 200b, wherein the handheld electronic device 100 The storage unit 200 can provide a basic protection function of the handheld electronic device 100 when the cover 200a is folded toward the front of the handheld electronic device 100 and folded over the front surface of the handheld electronic device 100.

In the embodiment, the handheld electronic device 100 has a first near field communication module 102, and the cover 200a of the storage unit 200 is provided with a second near field communication module 202, wherein the first near field communication module The group 102 and the second near field communication module 202 respectively include an NFC (Near Field Communication) circuit module or an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) circuit module.

According to the structural design of the handheld electronic device assembly in the above embodiment, the present invention also provides a method for controlling a handheld electronic device, comprising: providing a handheld electronic device 100 having a first near field communication module 102; a storage unit 200, and a second near field communication module 202 is disposed in the storage unit 200, wherein the handheld electronic device is received in the storage unit 200, and the first near field communication module 102 and the second near field are When the communication modules 202 are less than a certain distance, the first near field communication module 102 can generate a shutdown signal to turn off one of the screens of the handheld electronic device 100.

In detail, when the user places the cover 200a of the storage unit 200 toward the handheld electronic device 100, the second near field communication module 202 on the cover 200a is closest to the handheld electronic device 100. The field communication module 102 can be smaller than "Near Field Communication (NFC)" (also known as short-range wireless communication, which is a close-range high-frequency wireless communication technology that allows non-contact point-to-point data transmission between electronic devices) One of the specific distances, so that the second near field communication module 202 and the first near field communication module 102 exchange authentication information for authentication and identification, and after the two parties pass the authentication, the first near field communication module 102 will generate a shutdown signal to turn off the screen of the handheld electronic device 100. Accordingly, the user's action of "sliding the cover" can be used as a basis for judging the temporary use of the handheld electronic device, and immediately closing the screen of the handheld electronic device to shorten the standby time of the screen and reduce the consumption of the battery.

It should be noted that the first near field communication module 102 and the second near field communication module 202 can be encrypted by software writing, so that the near field communication can be prevented from being interfered by unknown signals. Prevent other manufacturers from easily copying products with the same function.

In addition, when the user opens the cover 200a of the storage unit 200, the second near field communication module 202 on the cover 200a and the first near field communication module on the handheld electronic device 100 102 may be greater than a certain distance of the near field communication. At this time, since the second near field communication module 202 and the first near field communication module 102 cannot exchange messages with each other, the first near field communication module 102 is An enable signal is generated to automatically turn on the screen of the handheld electronic device 100.

It should be understood that the mechanism for controlling the screen closing and opening of the handheld electronic device 100 provided by the present invention may be designed to match each other according to different storage units or user preferences, or a single operation mode.

For example, if the user accommodates the handheld electronic device in, for example, the storage unit 200 having the cover 200a, the operation of opening and closing the cover 200a can determine whether the user wants to start and end the operation. The handheld electronic device 100, in which the mode of automatically turning the screen on and off is in accordance with the ideal conditions for general user operation. However, if the user places the handheld electronic device 100 in a handbag or a pocket (storage unit), the second near field communication module 202 can also be disposed in the handbag or pocket. When the electronic device 100 is taken out from the handbag or the pocket, the electronic device may not be used immediately, so that only the first near field communication module 102 and the second near field communication module 202 are less than near field communication. The operation mode of turning off the screen at a certain distance (when the handheld device is placed in a bag or pocket) can meet the user's required operation (when the screen is turned on, the user manually changes it).

In addition, FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a handheld electronic device assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the carrying portion 200b of the receiving unit 200 includes a shielding member 200c, and the shielding member 200c has a size substantially corresponding to the handheld electronic device 100. In this way, when the user folds the cover 200a back to the back of the carrying portion 200b (as shown in FIG. 2), the shield 200c can block the first near field communication module 102 on the handheld electronic device 100. The near field communication with the second near field communication module 202 on the cover 200a can avoid the condition that the user can no longer use the electronic device, and the shield 200c can have a metal material, for example.

In summary, the present invention provides a handheld electronic device assembly and a method of controlling the handheld electronic device, which are mainly provided by providing a handheld electronic device having a first near field communication module; and providing a storage unit, and a second near field communication module is disposed in the storage unit, wherein the handheld electronic device is received in the storage unit, and when the first near field communication module and the second near field communication module are less than a specific distance The first near field communication module can generate a shutdown signal to turn off one of the handheld electronic devices. Through the above-mentioned inventive features, not only the battery power consumption of the handheld electronic device can be reduced, but also the endurance of the device can be increased. Provide a good user experience.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art having the ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
