As can be seen here, smart mobile phone 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is by making Part I 10 and Two parts 20 can relatively rotate and form described first attitude, can either reduce the volume of smart mobile phone 1, User friendly carry and grip, but also the work of smart mobile phone 1 can be switched according to different attitudes Operation mode, thus show all in the region (such as first area 41 and the 3rd region 43) not being blocked Such as instant message, conventional application etc., facilitate user can use after reducing the volume of electronic equipment 1 The specific function of electronic equipment 1.

Below in conjunction with Figure 10 to Figure 11, smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is carried out in detail Thin description.Figure 10 is the signal of the coupling part illustrating smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention Figure.Figure 11 A to 11C is the first appearance schematically showing electronic equipment according to a second embodiment of the present invention The diagram of handoff procedure between state and the second attitude.

Smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention and the intelligence above according to first embodiment of the invention Can mobile phone 1 similar, therefore to make description more clear succinct, thereof will be omitted two enforcements The description of same or similar parts, function etc. between example, and the difference between two embodiments is described emphatically.

The difference between smart mobile phone 1 and first embodiment according to a second embodiment of the present invention essentially consists in Coupling part 30.As shown in Figure 10, the connection of smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention Part 30 includes at least between two rotatable parts groups 50 and 70 and said two rotatable parts group Individual non-rotatable member 60.Each described rotatable parts group 50 and 70 include at least two rotatable parts 501, 502 and 701,702.As it was previously stated, described at least two rotatable parts 701 and 702 (or 501 With 502) each there is an own rotation axle 711 and 712 (or 511 and 512), and institute State each own rotation axle 711 He of at least two rotatable parts 701 and 702 (or 501 and 502) 712 (or 511 and 512) are parallel to each other.Similarly, such as, rotatable parts 701 are executed The external force added is being perpendicular to described own rotation axle 711 and the appearance with one rotatable parts 701 When the component size on direction that face is tangent meets the first predetermined condition, one rotatable parts 701 energy Enough rotate around described own rotation axle 711.Additionally, when 50 Hes in said two rotatable parts group When there is not the external force of satisfied first predetermined condition on each rotatable parts of 70, said two rotates In the 50 and 70 of parts group, the damping that is likely to be due to each other of each rotatable parts exists and keeps phase Mutual stablizes, thus ensures the described Part I 10 of described smart mobile phone 1, described Part II 20 And the metastable state between described coupling part 30.

Similarly, in an example of second embodiment of the invention, at rotatable parts (such as, Rotatable parts 501 or 701) rotate time, other rotatable parts (rotatable parts 502 or 702) are correspondingly Rotate.Additionally, in another example of second embodiment of the invention, at rotatable parts (such as, Rotatable parts 501 or 701) rotate time, other rotatable parts (such as, rotatable parts 502 or 702) Do not rotate.All be made up of different rotatable parts from coupling part 30 in above-mentioned first embodiment, due to There is non-rotatable member 60 in the coupling part 30 of second embodiment of the invention, no matter wherein rotatable parts All interlock with the rotation or there are the non-rotatable parts interlocked with the rotation, described Part I 10 and described Two parts 20 are all without the slip that is parallel to each other keeping entirety during whole Posture exchange.

Referring to Figure 11 A to Figure 11 C to smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention first Handoff procedure between attitude and the second attitude is described in detail.Figure 11 A to 11C is to schematically show Handoff procedure between first attitude and second attitude of smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention Diagram.

Describing similar with first embodiment, Figure 11 A shows intelligence according to a second embodiment of the present invention First attitude of mobile phone 1, Figure 11 C shows the of smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention Two attitudes, Figure 11 B shows a transition attitude between the first attitude and the second attitude.

As shown in Figure 11 A to Figure 11 C, at the first of smart mobile phone according to a second embodiment of the present invention Attitude is with the handoff procedure of the second attitude, and described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 are not near Seemingly fit tightly overall opposing parallel slip, but the 6th end 22 of the most described Part II 20 is near Described Part I 10 of seemingly fitting slides.It is to say, the first face 100 He of described Part I 10 All the time there is the first certain angle α, and described second in the first surface 300 of described coupling part 30 The first surface 200 of part 20 exists certain with the first surface 300 of described coupling part 30 all the time Second angle β.

Although in the second embodiment of the present invention, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 are not It is that approximation fits tightly overall opposing parallel slip, but as shown in Figure 11 A to 11C, described the Under one attitude and described second attitude, corresponding point between described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 Between ultimate range be similarly less than the first predetermined threshold L.

It is to be appreciated that the first predetermined threshold L in the second embodiment of the present invention can be more than The first predetermined threshold L in the first embodiment of the present invention, such as in the second embodiment of the present invention First predetermined threshold is 1cm, and its concrete length depends primarily on the nonrotational portion in described coupling part 30 Part 60.Similarly, at smart mobile phone 1 from described first attitude via described arbitrary transition attitude to described During second Posture exchange, keep described 6th end 22 of described Part II 20 with described first The distance in face 100 is less than described first predetermined threshold L.

Additionally, during the Posture exchange as shown in Figure 11 A to 11C, need smart mobile phone 1 is executed Add external force.Specifically, under described first attitude as shown in Figure 11 A, when described Part II 20 Being acted on by external force, this external force has the component F 3 from the direction of the 5th end 21 to the 6th end 22, And when component F 3 size meets the second predetermined condition, described smart mobile phone 1 is from described first Posture exchange To described second attitude.Similarly, under the most described second attitude, when described second Dividing 20 to be acted on by external force, this external force has the component from the direction of the 5th end 21 to the 6th end 22 F4, and when component F 4 size meets the second predetermined condition, described smart mobile phone 1 is from described second attitude It is switched to described first attitude.

Describing similar to first embodiment above, in the present embodiment, component F 3 and component F 4 are permissible Meet different predetermined conditions respectively, can think that component F 3 and component F 4 are respectively provided with different making a reservation for Condition (such as, corresponding second predetermined condition of component F 3, corresponding 3rd predetermined condition of component F 4), thus Realize respectively from the first attitude to the second Posture exchange or from the second attitude to the first Posture exchange, such as, When user grips smart mobile phone 1 and makes smart mobile phone 1 keep standing upright state, component F 2 should be suitable More than component F 1, the i.e. the 3rd predetermined condition is more than the second predetermined condition.

Additionally, the second predetermined condition in the present embodiment can make a reservation for second in first embodiment above Condition is equal, it is also possible to.Those skilled in the art can according to the manufacture material of coupling part 30, Manufacturing process etc. are configured.

Describing similar to first embodiment above, smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention can To have such as display unit, processing unit, the such nextport hardware component NextPort of sensing unit, and processing unit The attitude that can detect according to described sensing unit, controls the mode of operation switching of smart mobile phone 1, and And on described display unit, show different contents, thus provide adaptive institute best for user adaptation State the display of the present mode of electronic equipment.

It follows that by when combining concrete example to switching between different attitudes, the display of display unit 40 The change of content illustrates.Below in conjunction with Fig. 3 to Fig. 6, Fig. 8 A to Fig. 8 C, Fig. 9 A and figure 9B, Figure 13 A to Figure 13 C comes the display content of display unit 40 during switching between different attitudes Change illustrates.Figure 13 A to Figure 13 C is to illustrate electronic equipment according to embodiments of the present invention The diagram of the display content of display unit during switching between the first attitude and the second attitude.

In the following description, when smart mobile phone 1 switching between different attitudes, display unit 40 The region that is blocked or region that can not be perceived do not show content, and such as, display unit 40 is blocked Region can be closed and maybe can turn down the brightness in this region to less than certain luminance threshold value.So, permissible Between different attitudes during switching, save the electric power of smart mobile phone 1.But the present invention does not limit In this, in the handoff procedure between different attitudes, the region that display unit 40 can not be perceived can also Display content, as long as can be according to the switching of different attitudes in the region that the energy of display unit 40 is perceived Display certain content.

As the first example, it is assumed that current smart mobile phone 1 is in the second attitude shown in Fig. 8 C, and And smart mobile phone 1 is become first shown in Fig. 8 A from the second Posture exchange by applying external force by user Attitude, and suppose in the second attitude, the 3rd region 43 of display unit 40 shows the second content. (can when described sensing unit detects described smart mobile phone 1 from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude When perceived region switches to first area 41 from the 3rd region 43), described display controls subelement control Display unit 40 processed is from showing that the 3rd region 43 described second content switches in first area 41 Display first content.

Due to as mentioned above it is possible, first area 41 is less than the 3rd region 43, therefore, so the first appearance Under state, the first content of display is certainly less than under the second attitude the second content that can show.Here, first Content both can be the adjustment to the second content and simplify, it is also possible to be the content different from the second content (i.e. The second content is replaced) with first content.

Such as, Figure 13 A shows under the second attitude, the example of the content shown by display unit 40, And Figure 13 B shows under the first attitude, the example of the content shown by display unit 40.Such as figure Shown in 13A and Figure 13 B, the second content can be include play control knob (include play, suspend, F.F. etc.), playing progress bar, the lyrics, the complete content of album cover etc., and first content only can be Including play control knob and playing progress bar etc. simplify content.Certainly, in first content, need To playing the content re-layout such as control knob and playing progress bar.

Generally, it is considered that user is when by smart mobile phone 1 from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, it is desirable to continue The continuous probability operating smart mobile phone 1 is relatively big, and such as active user is by smart mobile phone 1 Music player play music, user by smart mobile phone 1 after the second Posture exchange to the first attitude Still expectation is continuing with this music player.Further, the significant surface of display is performed due to display unit 40 Long-pending reduction (being i.e. reduced to first area 41 from the 3rd region 43), therefore conversion is shown to simplify content Display is so that the further of user operates.In this example, smart mobile phone 1 is switched to the first attitude Afterwards, user still can understand the feelings of currently playing song by the display content in first area 41 Condition (such as progress, title of the song etc.), further, user can also be by the first viewing area 41 Touch operation carries out a certain degree of adjustment (such as time-out, F.F. etc.) to currently playing song.Thus, It is easy to user and is reducing smart mobile phone 1 volume and while saving electric power, still be able to use smart mobile phone 1 Specific function.

Additionally, in some cases, user by smart mobile phone 1 from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude Time, may be it is not expected that smart mobile phone 1 be worked on, such as smart mobile phone 1 is at holding state In from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude.In this case, smart mobile phone 1 is switching to the first attitude Afterwards, the first content of display unit 40 display can be locking screen interface as shown in figure 13 c.At this Locking screen interface only shows date, time, unblock etc. and simplifies content.

Additionally, be currently in use in the situation of music player user mentioned above, when user is by intelligence Mobile phone 1, after the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, first area 41 can also show institute in Figure 13 C The locking screen interface shown, it is that user plays that such smart mobile phone 1 not only can continue to run with this music player Music, but also can be by display interface (the first display unit 41) screen locking is prevented the mistake of user The maloperation that touching produces.In this case, user can be by carrying out the interface shown in Figure 13 C Solving latching operation, after described solution latching operation, the first area 41 of display unit 40 can show such as figure Content shown in 13B, thus provide the user the music player interface simplified.

As the second example, it is assumed that current smart mobile phone 1 is in the first attitude shown in Fig. 8 A, and And smart mobile phone 1 is become the second appearance shown in Fig. 8 C from the first Posture exchange by applying external force by user State, and suppose in the first attitude, the first area 41 of display unit 40 shows first content.When Described sensing unit detects that described smart mobile phone 1 (can be by when the first Posture exchange to the second attitude When the region of perception switches to three regions 43 from first area 41), described display controls subelement and controls Display unit 40 is aobvious from showing that first area 41 described first content switches in the 3rd region 43 Show the second content.

Due to as mentioned above it is possible, first area 41 is less than the 3rd region 43, therefore, so the first appearance Under state, the first content of display is certainly less than under the second attitude the second content that can show.Here, second Content both can be the extension to first content and supplement, it is also possible to be the content different from first content (i.e. First content is replaced) by the second content.

Such as, Figure 13 B shows under the first attitude, the example of the content shown by display unit 40, And Figure 13 A shows under the second attitude, the example of the content shown by display unit 40.Such as figure Shown in 13A and Figure 13 B, the second content can be include play control knob (include play, suspend, F.F. etc.), playing progress bar, the lyrics, the complete content of album cover etc., and first content only can be Including play control knob and playing progress bar etc. simplify content.

Generally, it is considered that user is when by smart mobile phone 1 from the first Posture exchange to the second attitude, will continue Smart mobile phone 1 is operated, and owing to display unit 40 performs the effective area increase of display (i.e. The 3rd region 43 is increased to from first area 41), the first content therefore shown the first attitude expands Open up and supplement thus show the second content in the second attitude, in order to the further operation of user.Originally showing In example, after smart mobile phone 1 is switched to the second attitude, the clear intactly display of display unit 40 is described The interface of music player, will expand at the interface of simplifying of the music player of display in first area 41 The interface of complete music player.Thus, it is simple to user is increasing smart mobile phone 1 volume simultaneously, energy Enough use the more function of smart mobile phone 1.

Additionally, smart mobile phone 1 is under the first attitude, it is also possible in the first area 41 of display unit 40 Display interface as shown in figure 13 c.In this case, current smart mobile phone 1 is only displayed for a user Some reference informations and/or function, the most current date, time, unblock screen etc..User by intelligence Energy mobile phone 1 is after the first Posture exchange to the second attitude, and described display controls subelement at display unit 3rd region 43 of 40 shows the interface of all complete music players as shown in FIG. 13A.But The present invention is not limited to this, and after switching to the 3rd attitude, also may be used in the 3rd region 43 of display unit 40 With the interface of other application program that display smart mobile phone 1 is currently running, or display smart mobile phone The standby interface of 1.

As the 3rd example, it is assumed that current smart mobile phone 1 is in the 3rd attitude shown in Fig. 2, and Smart mobile phone 1 is become the second appearance shown in Fig. 8 C from the 3rd Posture exchange by applying external force by user State, and suppose that, in the 3rd attitude, display unit 40 shows the 3rd content.When described sensing unit is examined (region that can be perceived is cut when the 3rd Posture exchange to the second attitude to measure described smart mobile phone 1 When shifting to three regions 43), described display controls subelement and controls to come in the 3rd region of display unit 40 The second content is shown in 43.

Due to as mentioned above it is possible, by smart mobile phone 1 after the 3rd Posture exchange to the second attitude, A part of region of display unit 40 is blocked, and therefore, under the second attitude, the second content of display will be less than 3rd content of display under 3rd attitude.Here, the second content both can be the adjustment to the 3rd content and Simplify, it is also possible to be the content (i.e. by second content replace threeth content) different from the 3rd content.In addition It should be appreciated that in view of user likely after smart mobile phone switches to the second attitude further by it Switch to the first attitude, so described second content should be more more than the first content shown by the first attitude, But it is overall still less than described 3rd content.

Generally, it is considered that user by smart mobile phone 1 from the 3rd Posture exchange to the second attitude time, it is desirable to continue The continuous probability operating smart mobile phone 1 is relatively big, and such as active user is by smart mobile phone 1 Music player play music, user by smart mobile phone 1 after the 3rd Posture exchange to the second attitude Still expectation is continuing with this music player.Further, the significant surface of display is performed due to display unit 40 Long-pending reduction (being i.e. reduced to the 3rd region 43), therefore conversion is shown to simplify the display of content so that using The further operation at family.In this example, after smart mobile phone 1 is switched to the second attitude, user is still So can understand currently playing song to a great extent by the display content in the 3rd region 43 Situation also uses corresponding function (situation at least more than first attitude).Thus, it is simple to user is subtracting Little smart mobile phone 1 volume while saving electric power, still is able to use the more function of smart mobile phone 1.

User by smart mobile phone 1 after the 3rd Posture exchange to the second attitude, it is also possible to continue the Two parts 20 and coupling part 30 apply external force, and make smart mobile phone 1 from the second Posture exchange to first Attitude.From the second Posture exchange to the example of the first attitude, can refer to the first example mentioned above, here Repeat no more.

Additionally, user by smart mobile phone 1 after the first Posture exchange to the second attitude, it is also possible to continue Continue and Part II 20 and coupling part 30 are applied external force, and make smart mobile phone 1 from the second Posture exchange To the 3rd attitude.From the second Posture exchange to the operation of the 3rd attitude, can be considered as above to the 3rd attitude Switch to the inverse operation of the second attitude, be i.e. referred to the 3rd example mentioned above, repeat no more here.

As can be seen here, smart mobile phone 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is by making Part I 10 and Two parts 20 can relatively rotate and form described first attitude, can either reduce the volume of smart mobile phone 1, User friendly carry and grip, but also the work of smart mobile phone 1 can be switched according to different attitudes Operation mode, thus show all in the region (such as first area 41 and the 3rd region 43) not being blocked Such as instant message, conventional application etc., facilitate user can use after reducing the volume of electronic equipment 1 The specific function of electronic equipment 1.

Referring to Figure 12, mode switching method according to embodiments of the present invention is described in detail.Figure 12 is the flow process of the mode switching method 1200 illustrating and being applied to electronic equipment according to embodiments of the present invention Figure.Here pattern is switched by the smart mobile phone 1 combining first embodiment mentioned above and the second embodiment Method 1200 illustrates, and therefore will omit the description of each assembly to smart mobile phone 1.

As shown in Figure 12, in step S1201, the attitude of detection smart mobile phone 1.As it has been described above, Smart mobile phone 1 at least has the first attitude.Under described first attitude, the first surface of Part I 10 100 are in parallel or less parallel state with the first surface 200 of Part II 20, and display unit First area can be perceived.In addition to the first attitude, smart mobile phone 1 can also have the second attitude, 3rd attitude.Under described 3rd attitude, described first outer surface is plane or almost plane.Described Three attitudes can be the attitude of smart mobile phone 1 as shown in Figure 2.Can be by being arranged on described A part of and/or described coupling part and/or described Part II sensing unit detects smart mobile phone 1 Attitude.Hereafter, process enters step S1202.

In step S1202, according to the attitude detected, control the pattern switching of smart mobile phone 1.This After, process and enter step S1203.

In step S1203, switch according to the pattern of smart mobile phone 1, the display of switching smart mobile phone 1 Display content on unit 40.

Figure 35 is the schematic diagram of diagram coupling part according to a first embodiment of the present invention further.Such as figure Shown in 35, coupling part 30 according to a first embodiment of the present invention can include at least three rotatable parts 301-30n (n is the integer more than or equal to 3).Each of described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Have an own rotation axle 311-31n, described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n each self turn Moving axis 311-31n is parallel to each other.Such as, on rotatable parts 301, externally applied forces is being perpendicular to On described own rotation axle 311 and the direction tangent with the outer surface of one rotatable parts 301 When component size meets the second predetermined condition, one rotatable parts 301 self can turn around described Moving axis 311 rotates.Here, described second predetermined condition and described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Manufacture material, the condition such as manufacturing process is correlated with.Additionally, when at described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Each on when there is not the external force of satisfied second predetermined condition, described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n is likely to be due to damping each other and exists and keep mutual stablizing, thus ensures that described electronics sets The most steady between described Part I 10, described Part II 20 and the described coupling part 30 of standby 1 Determine state.

Above with reference to shown in Figure 34 A to 34C, being used for of applying on described Part II 20 causes appearance At least one rotatable parts that the external force of state switching is intended that in described coupling part 30 meet above-mentioned Second predetermined condition and rotate around himself rotary shaft.Outside applying on described Part II 20 Power there may be due to side during at least one rotatable parts transmission in described coupling part 30 To different (i.e. the direction from described 6th end 22 to described 5th end 21 likely differ from be perpendicular to described Own rotation axle and the direction tangent with the outer surface of one rotatable parts) and unknown losses, Described first predetermined condition may be greater than described second predetermined condition.

Further, in the first embodiment of the invention, connecting portion according to a first embodiment of the present invention 30 are divided can be only made up of described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n.Additionally, it is real in the present invention first Execute in an example of example, when rotatable parts (such as, rotatable parts 301) rotate, other Rotatable parts (rotatable parts 302-30n) correspondingly rotate.Such as, described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n is pitch wheel parts, when a geared parts rotates, will drive all engagements Other geared parts are with identical linear velocity (in the case of as same radius, the angular velocity with identical) Linkage.Alternately, when all of rotatable parts link, before being likely to be due to each rotatable parts Juncture and the difference of frictional dissipation, cause each rotatable parts velocity of rotation (linear velocity and/or Angular velocity) and differ.Additionally, in another example of first embodiment of the invention, turn at one When dynamic component (such as, rotatable parts 301) rotates, at least one of other rotatable parts does not rotates, The most not every rotatable parts link, but there are the rotatable parts of at least one non-linkage.

In described coupling part 30 in the case of the linkage of all of rotatable parts, owing to one of them rotates Rotating of parts will cause other all rotatable parts to rotate with identical or different velocities of rotation, thus During the Posture exchange such as Figure 34 A to 34C, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 The slip that is parallel to each other can not be kept on the whole, but can turning due to rotatable parts all in coupling part 30 Dynamic existence rises and falls.In contrast to this, in described coupling part 30, there is turning of at least one non-linkage In the case of dynamic component, it is understood that there may be in the most described coupling part 30, the rotatable parts of fold domain turn Dynamic, and the non-linkage of the rotatable parts in other regions in described coupling part 30, thus realize such as Figure 34 A During the Posture exchange of 34C, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 keep on the whole Be parallel to each other slip.

Figure 36 A to 36C is the first attitude and second appearance of the electronic equipment of diagram second embodiment of the invention The schematic diagram of handoff procedure between state.Specifically, the electronics of Figure 36 A diagram second embodiment of the invention sets Second attitude of the electronic equipment of standby the first attitude, Figure 36 C diagram second embodiment of the invention, and scheme 36B then illustrates the arbitrary attitude during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange.

It is similar to the electronic equipment of the first embodiment of the invention of above-mentioned Figure 34 A to 34C diagram, such as figure Shown in 36A, under described first attitude, the first face 100 of described Part I 10 is by described connecting portion Points 30 and described Part II 20 cover.As shown in Figure 36 C, under described second attitude, by described Described first face 100 of Part I 10 and the face quilt of the first face 300 composition of described coupling part 30 Described Part II 20 covers.

Similarly, it is similar to the electronic equipment of the first embodiment of the invention of above-mentioned Figure 34 A to 34C diagram, Arbitrary attitude during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange can be without relying on external force Keep stable attitude or need to rely on the attitude that external force keeps stable.

Figure 40 A and 40B is the schematic diagram illustrating the electronic equipment being configured with sensing unit further.As above With reference to shown in Figure 33 to Figure 39 B, electronic equipment according to embodiments of the present invention has multiple different operating appearance State (such as, the first attitude, the second attitude and the 3rd attitude), and as shown in Figure 39 A and 39B, Under different operating attitudes, the described display unit 70 being arranged on described electronic equipment can be by differently Block, thus there is different exposed area.Therefore, described electronic equipment multiple different operating attitude can With corresponding to different mode of operations, and can provide for described display unit 70 according to different patterns Different display contents.

Therefore, described electronic equipment may further include sensing unit (not shown), and it is arranged on described In Part I 10 and/or described coupling part 30 and/or described Part II 20, it is used for detecting described The attitude of electronic equipment；And processing unit (not shown), its be arranged on described Part I 10 and/or In described coupling part 30 and/or described Part II 20, for detect according to described sensing unit Attitude, controls the pattern switching of described electronic equipment.

Specifically, in one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 40, described sensing unit includes Photosensitive unit 80, described photosensitive unit 80 includes corresponding with the array of light emitting cells of described display unit 70 The light detection array arranged, for according to the district meeting predetermined luminance threshold value in described light detection array Territory, determines the exposed area of described display unit, so that it is determined that the attitude of described electronic equipment.This be because of For under the different attitudes of described electronic equipment, described display unit is by described coupling part 30 and/or institute State Part II 20 differently to block, thus there is different exposed area.Only it is arranged in described outside The part of the light detection array under region enters sensing the light meeting predetermined luminance threshold value, and quilt The light that the another part of the light detection array blocked senses is unsatisfactory for predetermined luminance threshold value.Therefore, Sense the part of the light detection array meeting predetermined luminance threshold value i.e. corresponding to described display unit 70 Exposed area under current pose.

In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 40 B, described sensing unit includes bending inspection Surveying subelement 90, be arranged in described coupling part 30, described curved detection subelement 90 is for basis The state of described coupling part 30 determines the attitude of described electronic equipment.Such as, described curved detection Unit 90 can be an angular transducer, and it senses the current angle of bend in described coupling part 30.Logical Cross the concrete chi pre-setting described Part I 10, described coupling part 30, described Part II 20 Very little, after sensing the current angle of bend in described coupling part 30, described electronic equipment can be determined therefrom that Current pose.

Further, in one embodiment of the invention, described processing unit includes that display controls son list Unit (not shown), described display controls subelement and can switch according to the pattern of described electronic equipment, switching Display content on described display unit, thus provide the most adaptive described electronics to set for user adaptation The display of standby present mode.

Such as, in an example of the present invention, the present invention first illustrated as such as Figure 34 A to 34C is real During described first attitude and described second Posture exchange or Figure 36 A arrives to execute the electronic equipment of example The electronic equipment of the second embodiment of the invention of 36C diagram is cut in described first attitude and described second attitude During changing, as shown in Figure 39 A and 39B, under different attitudes, it is arranged on described electronic equipment Described display unit 70 can differently be blocked, thus there is different size of exposed area.Specifically, As shown in Figure 39 A, under the first attitude, electronic equipment can have less exposed area 701.When Display unit 70 cannot be partitioned territory control or be partitioned territory when gradually lighting, and detects at sensing unit Electronic equipment from the first attitude to during the second Posture exchange, such as, when as shown in fig. 40 Photosensitive unit 80 sense meet predetermined luminance threshold value light detection array portion gradually increasing During increase or when the curved detection subelement 90 as shown in Figure 40 B senses the bending of coupling part 30 When angle changes, display control subelement can control the display content of display unit 70 and not change Becoming, i.e. during whole Posture exchange, display control subelement can control display unit 70 and keep Only light viewing area 701, and in viewing area 701, only have display content.When sensing unit is examined Measure after whole Posture exchange process terminates, i.e. after electronic equipment enters the second attitude, now, electronics Equipment has bigger exposed area 702, and then, it is whole that display control subelement just controls display unit 70 Body lights whole exposed area 702, and shows in whole viewing area 702 and more enrich comprehensive boundary Face content.In an example of the present invention, it is also possible to when sensing unit detects whole Posture exchange mistake After the scheduled time that journey terminates, i.e. when sensing unit detects that electronic equipment enters the second attitude and protects After holding the scheduled time, display control subelement just controls display unit 70 entirety and lights whole exposed area 702, and show in whole viewing area 702.The described scheduled time can be arranged by system default, Or given according to using needs to be configured by user, such as, usually, can be by above-mentioned pre-timing Between be set to 1 second.

Arbitrary attitude as shown in Figure 43 B, during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange Under, owing to there is damping between all parts of the described coupling part 30 of composition so that this arbitrary attitude is Without relying on the attitude that external force keeps stable.Based on identical reason, in the case of, described first attitude It is similarly without relying on the attitude that external force keeps stable with described second attitude.The invention is not restricted to this, institute State the first attitude and described second attitude and during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange Arbitrary attitude be probably and need to rely on external force and keep stable attitude.Hereinafter, one is entered with reference to the accompanying drawings Step describes the structure of described coupling part 30 in detail.

Further, as shown in Figure 43 A to 43C, under described first attitude and described second attitude, Between described Part I 10 and described Part II 20, the ultimate range between corresponding point is less than the first threshold Value L.It is to be appreciated that corresponding point are vertical between described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 Directly run through the straight line in described Part I 10 and face, described Part II 20 place at described Part I 10 With described Part II 20 a pair penetration on the whole.At this as shown in Figure 43 A to 43C Part I 10 described in the electronic equipment of bright first embodiment and described Part II 20 are described first Approximation can be under attitude and described second attitude and arbitrary attitude to fit tightly.That is, institute Stating first threshold L may be for 5mm or less.

Additionally, during the Posture exchange as shown in Figure 43 A to 43C, need described electronic equipment Applying external force.Specifically, under the first attitude as described in shown in Figure 43 A, when described Part II 20 by having external force F of the component from the direction of described 6th end 22 to described 5th end 21, and And the component size of described external force is when meeting the first predetermined condition, described electronic equipment is from described first attitude It is switched to described second attitude.Similarly, under the second attitude as described in shown in Figure 43 C, when described Two parts 20 are by having the external force of the component from the direction of described 5th end 21 to described 6th end 22 F, and the component size of described external force meets the first predetermined condition, and described electronic equipment is from described second appearance State is switched to described first attitude.It is to be appreciated that at the described Part II 20 of described electronic equipment Externally applied forces is delivered to described coupling part 30 to overcome between all parts of described coupling part 30 Damping.Hereinafter, the structure of described coupling part 30 will be described by referring to accompanying drawing, illustrate to cause described The corresponding relation of the structure of the external force of electronic equipment Posture exchange and described coupling part 30.

Figure 44 is the schematic diagram of diagram coupling part according to a first embodiment of the present invention further.Such as figure Shown in 44, coupling part 30 according to a first embodiment of the present invention can include at least three rotatable parts 301-30n (n is the integer more than or equal to 3).Each of described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Have an own rotation axle 311-31n, described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n each self turn Moving axis 311-31n is parallel to each other.Such as, on rotatable parts 301, externally applied forces is being perpendicular to On described own rotation axle 311 and the direction tangent with the outer surface of one rotatable parts 301 When component size meets the second predetermined condition, one rotatable parts 301 self can turn around described Moving axis 311 rotates.Here, described second predetermined condition and described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Manufacture material, the condition such as manufacturing process is correlated with.Additionally, when at described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n Each on when there is not the external force of satisfied second predetermined condition, described at least three rotatable parts 301-30n is likely to be due to damping each other and exists and keep mutual stablizing, thus ensures that described electronics sets The most steady between described Part I 10, described Part II 20 and the described coupling part 30 of standby 1 Determine state.

Above with reference to shown in Figure 43 A to 43C, being used for of applying on described Part II 20 causes appearance At least one rotatable parts that the external force of state switching is intended that in described coupling part 30 meet above-mentioned Second predetermined condition and rotate around himself rotary shaft.Outside applying on described Part II 20 Power there may be due to side during at least one rotatable parts transmission in described coupling part 30 To different (i.e. the direction from described 6th end 22 to described 5th end 21 likely differ from be perpendicular to described Own rotation axle and the direction tangent with the outer surface of one rotatable parts) and unknown losses, Described first predetermined condition may be greater than described second predetermined condition.

In described coupling part 30 in the case of the linkage of all of rotatable parts, owing to one of them rotates Rotating of parts will cause other all rotatable parts to rotate with identical or different velocities of rotation, thus During the Posture exchange such as Figure 43 A to 43C, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 The slip that is parallel to each other can not be kept on the whole, but can turning due to rotatable parts all in coupling part 30 Dynamic existence rises and falls.In contrast to this, in described coupling part 30, there is turning of at least one non-linkage In the case of dynamic component, it is understood that there may be in the most described coupling part 30, the rotatable parts of fold domain turn Dynamic, and the non-linkage of the rotatable parts in other regions in described coupling part 30, thus realize such as Figure 43 A During the Posture exchange of 43C, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 keep on the whole Be parallel to each other slip.

Figure 45 A to 45C is the first attitude and second appearance of the electronic equipment of diagram second embodiment of the invention The schematic diagram of handoff procedure between state.Specifically, the electronics of Figure 45 A diagram second embodiment of the invention sets Second attitude of the electronic equipment of standby the first attitude, Figure 45 C diagram second embodiment of the invention, and scheme 45B then illustrates the arbitrary attitude during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange.

It is similar to the electronic equipment of the first embodiment of the invention of above-mentioned Figure 43 A to 43C diagram, such as figure Shown in 45A, under described first attitude, the first face 100 of described Part I 10 is by described connecting portion Points 30 and described Part II 20 cover.As shown in Figure 45 C, under described second attitude, by described Described first face 100 of Part I 10 and the face quilt of the first face 300 composition of described coupling part 30 Described Part II 20 covers.

Similarly, it is similar to the electronic equipment of the first embodiment of the invention of above-mentioned Figure 43 A to 43C diagram, Arbitrary attitude during described first attitude and described second Posture exchange can be without relying on external force Keep stable attitude or need to rely on the attitude that external force keeps stable.

It should be noted that by Figure 45 A to 45C diagram second embodiment of the invention electronic equipment with It is, due to it by the electronic equipment difference of the first embodiment of the invention of above-mentioned Figure 43 A to 43C diagram The different electronics with the first embodiment of the invention described with reference to Figure 44 of structure of described coupling part 30 sets Standby coupling part, thus from by the first attitude shown in Figure 45 A to by the second attitude shown in Figure 45 C Handoff procedure in, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 be not approximation fit tightly whole The opposing parallel slip of body, but the 6th end 22 approximation laminating described first of the most described Part II 20 Part 10 is slided.It is to say, the first face 100 of described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 The first face 200 there is the first certain angle α all the time, and described Part II 20 is connected with described All the time there is the second certain angle β in part 30.

Although in the second embodiment of the present invention, described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 are not It is that approximation fits tightly overall opposing parallel slip, but as shown in Figure 45 A to 45C, described the Under one attitude and described second attitude, corresponding point between described Part I 10 and described Part II 20 Between ultimate range be similarly less than first threshold.It is to be appreciated that in the second embodiment of the present invention In first threshold will be greater than first threshold in the first embodiment of the present invention, such as the present invention's First threshold in second embodiment is 1cm, and its concrete length depends primarily on described coupling part 30 In non-rotatable member 60.Similarly, at described electronic equipment from described first attitude via described arbitrary Attitude, during described second Posture exchange, keeps described 6th end 22 of described Part II 20 It is less than described first predetermined threshold with the distance in described first face 100.

Additionally, during the Posture exchange as shown in Figure 45 A to 45C, need described electronic equipment Applying external force.Specifically, under the first attitude as described in shown in Figure 45 A, when described Part II 20 by having the external force of the component from the direction of described 6th end 22 to described 5th end 21, and When the component size of described external force meets the first predetermined condition, described electronic equipment is cut from described first attitude Change to described second attitude.Similarly, under the second attitude as described in shown in Figure 45 C, when described second Part 20 is subject to the external force with the component from the direction of described 5th end 21 to described 6th end 22, And the component size of described external force meets the first predetermined condition, described electronic equipment is from described second attitude It is switched to described first attitude.Have been described above with reference to Figure 43 A to 43C and Figure 44, institute State the first predetermined condition and may be greater than described second predetermined condition.

Figure 46 is the schematic diagram of diagram coupling part according to a second embodiment of the present invention further.Such as figure Shown in 46, coupling part 30 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes two rotatable parts groups 40 and 50 And at least one non-rotatable member 60 between said two rotatable parts group.Each described rotatable parts Group 40 and 50 includes at least two rotatable parts 401,402,501 and 502.As it was previously stated, it is described Each of at least two rotatable parts 401 and 402 (or 501 and 502) has an own rotation Axle 411 and 412 (or 511 and 512), and described at least two rotatable parts 401 and 402 (or Person 501 and 502) each own rotation axle 411 and 412 (or 511 and 512) be parallel to each other. Similarly, such as, on rotatable parts 401, externally applied forces is being perpendicular to described own rotation axle 411 and the direction tangent with the outer surface of one rotatable parts 401 on component size meet second During predetermined condition, one rotatable parts 401 can rotate around described own rotation axle 411.This Outward, satisfied when not existing on each rotatable parts of 40 and the 50 of said two rotatable parts group During the external force of the second predetermined condition, each rotatable parts in the 40 and 50 of said two rotatable parts group The damping that is likely to be due to each other exist and keep mutual stablizing, thus ensure described electronic equipment 1 Described Part I 10, described Part II 20 and described coupling part 30 between relatively stablize shape State.

Figure 47 A and Figure 47 B is the electronic equipment illustrating according to a first embodiment of the present invention with the second embodiment The schematic diagram of the 3rd attitude.Specifically, Figure 47 A illustrates coupling part 30 described above only by described The situation of the first embodiment that at least three rotatable parts 301-30n is constituted, Figure 47 B illustrates described connection Part 30 includes at least between two rotatable parts groups 40 and 50 and said two rotatable parts group The situation of the second embodiment of individual non-rotatable member 60.As shown in Figure 47 A and 47B, described electronics sets Standby also have the 3rd attitude, the first face 100 of described Part I 10, the of described coupling part 30 Simultaneously 300 and the first face 200 of described Part II 20 form the first outer surface.In described 3rd appearance Under state, described first outer surface is plane or almost plane.Specifically, in described Part I 10, institute State coupling part 30 and described Part II 20 thickness is exactly the same, and described Part I 10 He Between described coupling part 30 and between described Part II 20 and described coupling part 30 the most relatively Turning in the case of angle is 180 degree therebetween, described first outer surface is plane.At described first 10, described coupling part 30 and described Part II 20 thickness is divided to there is difference, or described first Between part 10 and described coupling part 30 and described Part II 20 and described coupling part 30 it Between the most fully relatively rotate, angle is less than the feelings of 180 degree (such as, between 175-180 degree) therebetween Under condition, described first outer surface is almost plane.

As mentioned above it is possible, the electronic equipment that Figure 43 A to Figure 43 C shows first embodiment of the invention leads to Cross the schematic diagram of handoff procedure between the first attitude of first method and the second attitude, and Figure 45 A is to figure 45C shows that the electronic equipment of second embodiment of the invention passes through the first attitude and second appearance of first method The schematic diagram of handoff procedure between state.Visible, although in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, connect The structure of part 30 is different, but between the first attitude with the second attitude, the mode of switching is identical.Additionally, figure 48A to Figure 48 C shows that the electronic equipment of the present invention passes through the first attitude and the 3rd attitude of second method Between the schematic diagram of handoff procedure.In Figure 48 A-48C, and the tool of not particularly shown coupling part 30 Body constructs, and in other words, in Figure 48 A-48C, coupling part 30 both can use first embodiment Configuration, it would however also be possible to employ the configuration of the second embodiment.Specifically, specifically, Figure 48 A illustrates the present invention The 3rd attitude of electronic equipment, first attitude of electronic equipment of Figure 48 C diagram present invention, and Figure 48 B Then illustrate the arbitrary attitude during described 3rd attitude and described first Posture exchange.By Figure 43 A extremely The comparison of Figure 43 C, 45A to Figure 45 B and Figure 48 A to Figure 48 C is it is clear that described first party Formula is different from described second method to be included: described Part II under described first method and described second method Motion mode different.

It follows that will explain under described first method from different angles and described under described second method The different motion mode of Part II 20.

It is possible, firstly, to consider from the angle that force way is different.

By first method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the second attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described second attitude, by described first method, described Part II 20 is by the described 5th Hold the external force of 21 components to the direction of described 6th end 22, and described external force size meets second Predetermined condition, it may be assumed that described external force is sufficient so that described Part II 20 via described coupling part 30 phase Described Part I 10 is occurred relatively to slide, described electronic equipment 1 from described second Posture exchange to Described first attitude.It is to say, now, by described first method, described Part II 20 is subject to First that is parallel to described electronic equipment 1 and point to the 6th end 22 direction from the 5th end 21 Thrust, in other words, by described Part II 20 towards near the slip of the direction of described Part I 10 Thrust, thus described electronic equipment 1 from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude.Certainly, on the other hand, Under described first attitude, by described first method, described Part II 20 is by described 6th end 22 to the external force of the component on the direction of described 5th end 21, and described external force size to meet second pre- Fixed condition, it may be assumed that described external force is sufficient so that described coupling part 30 and moves, and described electronic equipment 1 is from institute State the first Posture exchange to described second attitude.It is to say, now, by described first method, institute State that Part II 20 is subject to first that is parallel to described electronic equipment 1 and refer to from the 6th end 22 To the thrust in the 5th end 21 direction, in other words, by described Part II 20 away from described first The thrust slided in the direction of points 10, thus described electronic equipment 1 from the first Posture exchange to the second attitude.

By second method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the 3rd attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described 3rd attitude, by described second method, described Part II is by from the described 6th End 22 is to the external force of the component in first rotation direction of described Part I, and described external force Size meets the 3rd predetermined condition, it may be assumed that described external force is sufficient so that described Part II 20 via described company Connecing part 30 to relatively rotate relative to described Part I 10, described electronic equipment 1 is from described Three Posture exchanges are to described first attitude.It is to say, now, by described second method, described What two parts 20 were subject to is (preferably, angle in a certain angle with first of described Part II 20 Be 90 °) and from described 6th end 22 to the thrust first rotation direction of described Part I, In other words, described Part II 20 is rotated towards the direction of first of close described Part I 10 Thrust, thus described electronic equipment 1 from the 3rd Posture exchange to the first attitude.Certainly, on the other hand, Under described 3rd attitude, by described second method, described Part II is by from described 6th end 22 To the external force away from the component in first rotation direction of described Part I, and described external force size Meet the 3rd predetermined condition, it may be assumed that described external force is sufficient so that described Part II 20 via described connecting portion Dividing 30 to relatively rotate relative to described Part I 10, described electronic equipment 1 is from described first appearance State is switched to described 3rd attitude.It is to say, now, by described second method, described second Points 20 be subject to is that in a certain angle with first of described Part II 20 (preferably, angle is 90 °) and from described 6th end 22 to away from the thrust first rotation direction of described Part I, In other words, described Part II 20 is rotated away from the direction of first of described Part I 10 Thrust, thus described electronic equipment 1 from the first Posture exchange to the 3rd attitude.

Secondly, can consider from the angle that the direction of motion is different.

By first method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the second attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described second attitude, by described first method, described Part II 20 and described first Relative parallel movement (be essentially and be substantially parallel or less parallel) is carried out between points 10, wherein said the Angle between a part 10 and described Part II 20 keeps constant and is less than the second predetermined threshold, institute State electronic equipment 1 from described second Posture exchange to described first attitude.Such as, in the first embodiment, Described Part II 20 and described Part I 10 relative motion entirely in parallel, thus described first Angle point between 10 and described Part II keeps constant and is 0.But, in a second embodiment, In admissible scope, described Part II 20 is the most relative with described Part I 10 to be transported Dynamic, now, the angle between described Part I and described Part II keeps constant and is α, certain α It is less than the value of the second predetermined threshold.On the other hand, under described prime, by described first party Formula, by rightabout relative parallel movement between described Part II 20 and described Part I 10, Described electronic equipment 1 from described first Posture exchange to described second attitude.

By second method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the 3rd attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described 3rd attitude, by described second method, described Part II 20 and described first Divide and carry out relative rotation motion of driving system, between wherein said Part I 10 and described Part II 20 between 10 Angle constantly reduce, described electronic equipment from described 3rd Posture exchange to described first attitude.Another Aspect, under described prime, by described second method, described Part II 20 is with described first Rightabout relative rotation motion of driving system is carried out, wherein said Part I 10 and described the between part 10 Angle between two parts 20 constantly increases, and described electronic equipment is from described first Posture exchange to described Three attitudes.

It is then also possible to from motor process the first face 100 of the 6th end 22 and Part I 10 away from Consider from different angles.

By first method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the second attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described second attitude, by described first method, described Part II 20 is keeping described the The distance in the first face 100 of six ends 22 and described Part I 10 is less than in the case of the first predetermined threshold Motion, described electronic equipment 1 from described second Posture exchange to described first attitude.Certainly, the opposing party Face, under described first attitude, by described first method, described Part II 20 is keeping described the The distance in the first face 100 of six ends 22 and described Part I 10 is less than in the case of the first predetermined threshold Motion, described electronic equipment 1 from described first Posture exchange to described second attitude.For example, it is possible to Entered by described first method under the state that described Part II 20 and described Part I 10 are fitted completely Switching between row the second attitude and the first attitude, now, described 6th end 22 and described Part I The distance of first of 10 is 0.And for example, it is also possible to the most described Part II 20 the 6th end 22 with First face 100 of described Part I 10 contacts and the remainder of described Part II 20 is not with described First face 100 of Part I 10 keeps contact, the most described 6th end 22 and described Part I 10 The distance in the first face 100 be a little value, and this little value is in admissible scope, i.e. pre-less than first Determine threshold value.

By first method, described electronic equipment 1 can be cut between the 3rd attitude and the first attitude Change.Under described 3rd attitude, by described second method, described Part II 20 is making described The distance in six ends 22 and the first face 100 of described Part I 10 increases to one from the second predetermined threshold Big value is moved in the case of being then reduced to below described first predetermined threshold, and described electronic equipment 1 is from institute State the 3rd Posture exchange to described first attitude.Specifically, under described 3rd attitude, if as above Described in literary composition, the first face 100 of described Part I 10, the first face 300 of described coupling part 30 And the first face 200 of described Part II 20 is the most coplanar, then by described second method from described 3rd attitude when described first Posture exchange, the most described 6th end 22 and described Part I 10 The distance in the first face 100 is 0, and the i.e. second predetermined threshold is 0.Then, along with Part II 20 towards Rotating near the direction of Part I 10, the distance of the two is gradually increased to a maximum, such as, maximum Value occur in Part II 20 vertical with Part I 10 time, then, the distance of the two is gradually decrease to First predetermined threshold, i.e. minima occur in Part II 20 and fit completely with Part I 10 or basic During laminating.Under described 3rd attitude, if as mentioned above it is possible, the first of described Part I 10 100, the first face 300 of described coupling part 30 and the first face 200 of described Part II 20 are non-sternly Lattice ground is coplanar, then by described second method from described 3rd attitude to described first Posture exchange time, The little value that distance is a non-zero in the first face 100 of the most described 6th end 22 and described Part I 10. On the other hand, under described first attitude, by described second method, described Part II 20 is making The distance in the first face 100 of described 6th end 22 and described Part I 10 is below the first predetermined threshold Increase to move in the case of a maximum is then reduced to described second predetermined threshold, described electronic equipment 1 from described first Posture exchange to described 3rd attitude.

Hereinbefore, in order to make it easy to understand, from three different interpretation for converting the of attitude One mode and the difference of second method.But, the present invention is not limited to this.Those skilled in the art It is appreciated that any other possible angle can also be similarly used to explain first method and second method Difference.

Figure 49 A and 49B is the schematic diagram illustrating the electronic equipment being configured with display unit further.Such as figure Shown in 49A and 49B, also wrap in the electronic equipment of according to a first embodiment of the present invention with the second embodiment Including display unit 70, described display unit 70 is arranged at described first of described Part I 10 100.Further, as shown in Figure 49 A and 49B, described display unit 70 under described first attitude The first uncovered part 701 and described second attitude under described display unit 70 second uncovered The area of part 702 is different.

Further, as shown in Figure 49 A and 49B, described display unit 70 is can deformation display list Unit, described display unit 70 is arranged at described first face 100 of described Part I 10 and described On the region that described first face 200 of Part II 20 is formed；Or described display unit 70 is arranged In described first face 100 of described Part I 10, described first face 300 of described coupling part 30 On the region formed with described first face 300 of described Part II 20.Above with reference to Figure 43 A Under described first attitude described to 43C and Figure 45 A to 45C and described second attitude, described display A part for unit 70 covers the another part stating described display unit 70.

Figure 50 A and 50B is the schematic diagram illustrating the electronic equipment being configured with sensing unit further.As above Referring to figs. 1 through shown in Figure 49 B, electronic equipment according to embodiments of the present invention has multiple different operating appearance State (such as, the first attitude, the second attitude and the 3rd attitude), and as shown in Figure 49 A and 49B, Under different operating attitudes, the described display unit 70 being arranged on described electronic equipment can be by differently Block, thus there is different exposed area.Therefore, described electronic equipment multiple different operating attitude can With corresponding to different mode of operations, and can provide for described display unit 70 according to different patterns Different display contents.

Therefore, described electronic equipment may further include sensing unit (not shown), and it is arranged on described In Part I 10 and/or described coupling part 30 and/or described Part II 20, it is used for detecting described The Posture exchange of electronic equipment and/or the mode of Posture exchange；And processing unit (not shown), it sets Put in described Part I 10 and/or described coupling part 30 and/or described Part II 20, be used for The Posture exchange detected according to described sensing unit and/or the mode of Posture exchange, control described electronics and set Standby pattern switching.

Specifically, in one embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 50 A, described sensing unit includes Photosensitive unit 80, described photosensitive unit 80 includes corresponding with the array of light emitting cells of described display unit 70 The light detection array arranged, for according to the district meeting predetermined luminance threshold value in described light detection array Territory, determines the exposed area of described display unit, so that it is determined that the Posture exchange of described electronic equipment.This Be because under the different attitudes of described electronic equipment, described display unit by described coupling part 30 and/ Or described Part II 20 differently blocks, thus there is different exposed area.Only it is arranged in described The part of the light detection array under perimeter enters sensing the light meeting predetermined luminance threshold value, And the light that the another part of the light detection array being blocked senses is unsatisfactory for predetermined luminance threshold value.Cause This, sense the part of the light detection array meeting predetermined luminance threshold value i.e. corresponding to described display unit 70 exposed area under current pose.

Additionally, described photosensitive unit 80 can also determine whether to sense the light meeting predetermined luminance threshold value The quantity of the part of line detection array is gradually increased or is increased dramatically.If described sensing unit 80 is sentenced Break and to sense the quantity of part of the light detection array meeting predetermined luminance threshold value and be gradually increased, Then it is considered as carrying out Posture exchange by first method.On the other hand, if described sensing unit 80 is sentenced Break and to sense the quantity of part of the light detection array meeting predetermined luminance threshold value and be increased dramatically, Then it is considered as carrying out Posture exchange by second method.

In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 50 B, described sensing unit includes bending inspection Surveying subelement 90, be arranged in described coupling part 30, described curved detection subelement 90 is for basis The state of described coupling part 30 determines the attitude of described electronic equipment.Such as, described curved detection Unit 90 can be an angular transducer, and it senses the current angle of bend in described coupling part 30.Logical Cross the concrete chi pre-setting described Part I 10, described coupling part 30, described Part II 20 Very little, after sensing the current angle of bend in described coupling part 30, described electronic equipment can be determined therefrom that Current pose.

Wrap additionally, described curved detection subelement 90 can also detect in described coupling part 30 further The rotation of the rotating shaft included.Specifically, as mentioned above it is possible, described coupling part 30 can include multiple Rotating shaft.Such as, if described curved detection subelement 90 detects that among the plurality of rotating shaft, only part turns Axle rotates and remaining rotating shaft does not rotates, and the spindle portion rotated be change successively (time e.g., current Quarter is 311,312,313, and subsequent time is 312,313,314), then it is considered as by first Mode carries out Posture exchange.On the other hand, if described curved detection subelement 90 detects the plurality of Whole rotating shafts among rotating shaft all rotate, then be considered as carrying out Posture exchange by second method.

Further, in one embodiment of the invention, described processing unit includes that display controls son list Unit (not shown), described display controls subelement and switches according to the pattern of described electronic equipment, and switching is described Display content on display unit, thus provide the most adaptive described electronic equipment for user adaptation The display of present mode.

It is pointed out here that the first uncovered portion of described display unit under described first attitude Divide less than the area of the second uncovered part of described display unit under described second attitude.

It follows that show the different examples that content switches when will be described in Posture exchange.

As the first example, it is assumed that under described second attitude, described display unit 70 shows the 3rd content. When described sensing unit detect described electronic equipment 1 by the above first method from the second appearance When state is switched to the first attitude, described display controls subelement and controls described display unit 70 from described in display 3rd content switches to show first content.

Due to as mentioned above it is possible, the first uncovered part of described display unit under described first attitude Less than the area of the second uncovered part of described display unit under described second attitude.Therefore, first The first content that can show under attitude is certainly less than under the second attitude the 3rd content that can show.Here, First content is a part for the 3rd content, and first content is different from the first son of described 3rd content Holding, described first sub-content is the content that the region at first content place shows under described second attitude. Although it is to say, first content is a part for the 3rd content, but being definitely not simply to the 3rd content Former state fixedly cuts, but for reduced combination again every in the 3rd content.

Show when the exposed area of display unit 70 for example, with reference to Figure 13 A to Figure 13 C, Figure 13 A (the most uncovered part) shows the example of content time big, and Figure 13 B shows when display unit 70 Exposed area (the most uncovered part) hour display content example.Such as Figure 13 A and Figure 13 B institute Show, the 3rd content can be include play control knob (including broadcasting, time-out, F.F. etc.), play into The complete content of degree bar, the lyrics, album cover etc., and first content can be only include playing control by Button and playing progress bar simplify content.Certainly, in first content, need to play control knob and Playing progress bar layout again.

Generally, it is considered that user expects to continue when by first method from the second posture changing to the first attitude The probability operating electronic equipment is relatively big, and owing to display unit performs the effective area of display Reducing, therefore conversion is shown to simplify the display of content so that the further of user operates.

On the other hand, it is assumed that under described first attitude, described display unit 70 shows first content.When Described sensing unit detect described electronic equipment 1 by the above first method from the first attitude When being switched to the second attitude, described display controls subelement and controls described display unit 70 from display described the One content switches to show the 3rd content.

As the second example, it is assumed that under described 3rd attitude, described display unit 70 shows the 4th content. When described sensing unit detect described electronic equipment 1 by the above second method from the 3rd appearance When state is switched to the first attitude, described display controls subelement and controls described display unit from display described the Four contents switch to show the second content.

It is correlated with different from first content in the first example and the 3rd content, in the second example, described second Content is predetermined content, and described second content is unrelated with described 4th content.Such as, Figure 13 A illustrates Show the example of content when the exposed area (the most uncovered part) of display unit 70 is big, scheme 13C shows the another of exposed area (the most uncovered part) hour display content when display unit 70 One example.As shown in Figure 13 A and Figure 13 C, the 4th content can also be to include playing control knob (bag Include broadcasting, time-out, F.F. etc.), playing progress bar, the lyrics, the complete content of album cover etc., and Two contents can be locking screen interface.

Generally, it is considered that user by second method from the 3rd posture changing to the first attitude time expectation no longer The probability operating electronic equipment is relatively big, therefore directly electronic equipment is switched to screen locking pattern and Display unit display locking screen interface can be effectively reduced power consumption.

On the other hand, it is assumed that under described first attitude, described display unit 70 shows the second content.When Described sensing unit detect described electronic equipment 1 by the above second method from the first attitude When being switched to three attitudes, described display controls subelement and controls described display unit from display described second Content switches to show the 4th content.

Hereinbefore, show by first method in the first attitude and the with two independent examples respectively Situation about switching between two attitudes and the feelings switched between the first attitude and the 3rd attitude by second method Condition.However, it is also possible to the first example and the second example are combined, the most in one example, including Situation about being switched between the first attitude and the second attitude by first method and by second method first The situation of switching between attitude and the 3rd attitude.

As the 3rd example, it is assumed that under described second attitude, described display unit 70 shows the first application The 5th content.When described sensing unit detects that described electronic equipment 1 passes through first method from the second appearance When state is switched to the first attitude, described display controls subelement and controls described display unit 70 from described in display 5th content of the first application switches to show the 6th content of the first application.And assuming that the described 3rd Under attitude, described display unit 70 shows the 7th content of the first application.In the 3rd example, concern It is to show under the second attitude and the 3rd attitude in the case of same application by different modes (first method Or second method) be switched to the first attitude after show that content is by different.Here, it should be noted that Owing to the area of the second uncovered part of display unit described under the second attitude is less than institute under the 3rd attitude State the area of the 3rd uncovered part of display unit, even if therefore under the second attitude and the 3rd attitude Under all show identical application, the content of this same application also will be slightly different.Therefore, hereinbefore, With the 5th content of the first application and the 7th content of the first application, the two is made a distinction.When described biography Sense unit detect described electronic equipment 1 by second method from the 3rd Posture exchange to the first attitude time, Described display controls subelement and controls the described display unit 70 the 7th content from described first application of display Switching to show the 8th content of non-first application, the 8th content of wherein said non-first application is with described 7th content of the first application is unrelated.Such as, the 8th content of described non-first application can be screen locking circle Face.

So, expect to continue when by first method from the second posture changing to the first attitude due to user The probability operating electronic equipment is relatively big, and user is being become from the 3rd attitude by second method The probability that when changing to the first attitude, electronic equipment is no longer operated by expectation is relatively big, therefore by showing Show that control subelement is configured that when by first method from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, will be aobvious Show that content is switched to the 6th content from the 5th content of the first application, wherein the 6th content and the 5th content phase Close, in order to the further operation of user, and by display control subelement is configured that when passing through Second method from the 3rd Posture exchange to the first attitude time, will display content from first application the 7th content It is switched to the 8th content of non-first application, in order to effectively reduce power consumption.

For the 6th content of the first application, can be generated by the following two kinds mode.With above institute Similarly, the 6th content of described first application can be the 5 of described first application to the first example stated A part for content, and the 6th content is different from the first sub-content of described 5th content, described first son Content is the content that the region at the 5th content place shows under described second attitude.That is, the first application 6th content can be the most identical with the 5th content of described first application.

It addition, alternately, the 6th content of described first application can also be based on described first application 5th content and generate, wherein said 6th content is different from described 5th content.Such as, described first Application is a shopping application, and the 5th content of described first application is merchandise news under the second attitude. When described electronic equipment passes through first method from the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, shown first 6th content of application is to should the bar code of commodity.

Visible, after being switched by first method, the 6th content can be identical with the 5th content ground, also Can be fully different.But, no matter the 6th content is the most identical with the 5th content, both of which is relevant 's.By contrast, after being switched by second method, the most different with the 7th content from the 8th content And it is unrelated.

As the 4th example, it is assumed that under described second attitude, described display unit 70 shows the first application The 5th content.Described display controls subelement and is configured to judge the type of described first application. Further, type based on described first application, it is interior that described display shows after controlling subelement control switching Hold.

Specifically, detect that described electronic equipment 1 is from the second Posture exchange to when described sensing unit During one attitude, if described display controls subelement and judges that the described first type applied is sustained, As music player, navigation etc. are applied, the most described display controls the subelement described display unit of control 70 and shows Showing the 6th content of the first application, described 6th content is a part for described 5th content, and in the 6th Holding the first sub-content being different from described 5th content, described first sub-content is the district at the 5th content place The content that territory shows under described second attitude.Such as, if described display controls subelement judges institute The type stating the first application is sustained, and the most described display controls subelement and controls the essence of display the first application Letter interface, simplifies in interface described, selects the part display of complete content.For example, first Application is music player, and after the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, first content is changed into from bag Include broadcasting control knob (including broadcasting, time-out, F.F. etc.), playing progress bar, the lyrics, album cover Deng a part of content selected in complete content, as play control knob and playing progress bar.Or, Described display controls the subelement described display unit 70 of control can also show the 6th content of the first application, Described 6th content produces and different from described 5th content based on described 5th content.Such as, if institute Stating display control subelement and judge that the described first type applied is sustained, the most described display controls son What unit can also regenerate the first application simplifies interface.For example, the first application is navigation application, After the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, first content changes into arrow navigation, and arrow here is led Boat is totally different from the complete navigation content shown before.

On the other hand, if described display controls subelement and judges that the described first type applied is non-holding Ideotype, in the most described display control subelement described display unit 70 of control shows the 8th of non-first application the Holding, the 8th content of wherein said non-first application is unrelated with the 5th content of described first application.Such as, If described display controls subelement judges that the described first type applied is non-continuous type, the most described aobvious Show that control subelement controls display locking screen interface.

So, due in the case of being sustained application in the current application run from the second posture changing to The probability that during the first attitude, expectation continues to operate electronic equipment 1 is relatively big, and runs current Application be non-continuous type application in the case of when the second posture changing to the first attitude expectation no longer to electricity The probability that subset carries out operating is relatively big, therefore by being configured that display control subelement when working as The application of front operation is in the case of sustained is applied when the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, will display Content is switched to the 6th content from the 5th content of the first application, and wherein the 6th content is relevant to the 5th content, So that the further operation of user, and by display control subelement is configured that when in current fortune The application of row is in the case of non-continuous type is applied when the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, by interior for display Hold the 5th content from the first application and be switched to the 8th content of non-first application, in order to effectively reduce merit Consumption.

As the 5th example, it is assumed that under described second attitude, described display unit 70 shows the first application The 5th content.With show described in the 4th example that control subelement is configured to judge described the The type of one application is different, and in the 5th example, described display controls subelement and is configured to sentence The type of the disconnected operation being carrying out.Further, type based on the operation being carrying out, described display control The content that subunit shows after controlling switching.Even if it is to say, the class of the application being currently running Type is sustained application, but is currently not carried out sustained operation and (e.g., performs music, execution The operations such as navigation), then the 8th content being switched to non-first application will be shown.

Specifically, detect that described electronic equipment 1 is from the second Posture exchange to when described sensing unit During one attitude, if described display controls subelement judges that action type is sustained, as performed music Playing or perform the operations such as navigation, the most described display control subelement controls described display unit 70 and shows 6th content of the first application, described 6th content is a part for described 5th content, and the 6th content Being different from the first sub-content of described 5th content, described first sub-content is the region at the 5th content place The content of display under described second attitude.Such as, if described display controls subelement judges operation Type is sustained, and what the most described display control subelement control display first was applied simplifies interface.Or, Described display controls the subelement described display unit 70 of control can also show the 6th content of the first application, Described 6th content produces and different from described 5th content based on described 5th content.Such as, if institute Stating display control subelement and judge that the described first type applied is sustained, the most described display controls son What unit can also regenerate the first application simplifies interface.

On the other hand, if described display controls subelement judges that action type is non-continuous type, then institute State the display control subelement described display unit 70 of control and show the 8th content of non-first application, Qi Zhongsuo The 8th content stating non-first application is unrelated with the 5th content of described first application.Such as, if described Display controls subelement and judges that action type is non-continuous type, and the most described display controls subelement and controls aobvious Show locking screen interface.

So, due in the case of the current action type performed is sustained from the second posture changing to The probability that during the first attitude, expectation continues to operate electronic equipment 1 is relatively big, and performs current Action type be in the case of non-continuous type when the second posture changing to the first attitude expectation no longer to electricity The probability that subset carries out operating is relatively big, therefore by being configured that display control subelement when working as The action type of front execution is in the case of sustained when the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, will display Content is switched to the 6th content from the 5th content of the first application, and wherein the 6th content is relevant to the 5th content, So that the further operation of user, and by display control subelement is configured that when currently holding The action type of row is in the case of non-continuous type when the second Posture exchange to the first attitude, will be in display Hold the 5th content from the first application and be switched to the 8th content of non-first application, in order to effectively reduce merit Consumption.
