Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In order to solve the problem that the existing mobile terminal has a single call mode as stated in the background section, embodiments of the present invention provide a terminal control method and a mobile terminal, and the following describes technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal control method, which is executed by a mobile terminal. The method may specifically comprise:

step 101: a target face contour of the user is detected.

Alternatively, the face contour of the current user may be detected by a camera or an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like of the mobile terminal.

Step 103: bending the mobile terminal to a target angle matched with the target face contour;

and when the mobile terminal is bent to the target angle, the target sound output area of the mobile terminal faces the user.

Optionally, the mobile terminal adopts a flexible screen, which is a flexible screen with good flexibility and flexibility, or a folding screen, so as to bend the mobile terminal to a target angle matched with the target face contour by controlling the screen bending, as shown in fig. 2, the mobile terminal is bent by a certain angle to be more attached to the face contour of the user, and further, the sound output area of the mobile terminal faces the ear area of the user, thereby enhancing the sound reception effect.

Optionally, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, before step 103, an angle matching with the face contour of the user may be determined in different manners, so as to ensure accuracy of matching between the bending angle of the mobile terminal and the face contour of the user and diversity of implementation manners, and the bending angle of the mobile terminal may be intelligently recommended to the user based on the identified face contour, thereby improving user experience.

On the one hand, the method can directly match the corresponding target angle after detecting the target face contour of the user based on the incidence relation between the face contour and the angle prestored in the mobile terminal, and can continuously update and maintain the incidence relation between the face contour and the angle according to manual regulation records and the like of different users on the bending angle of the mobile terminal in the use process of the mobile terminal, so that the bending angle of the mobile terminal can be more attached to different face contours, and can accord with the use habits of the users.

It should be noted that, when the association relationship between the face contour and the angle is established, the user can manually bend the mobile terminal through detecting and recording the angle of the user with different face contours during the process of using the mobile terminal, so as to determine the face contour and the angle matched with each other based on a large amount of data analysis, so that in the subsequent use process, the corresponding bending angle can be automatically and intelligently matched and recommended according to the face contour of the user identified in real time.

On the other hand, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the target angle matched with the target face contour of the user may be determined in the following manner, including the following:

displaying the angle interval matched with the target face contour to a user;

in response to a selection operation by the user, an angle selected by the user in the angle section is determined as a target angle.

It can be understood that, when the bending angle corresponding to the face contour of the user is matched for the user, an angle interval matched with the detected target face contour is firstly provided and displayed for the user, that is, a relatively suitable angle range for the user to select the bending angle is firstly displayed for the user, and the selection operation of the user is further responded, and the angle finally selected by the user in the angle interval is used as the target angle for bending the mobile terminal, that is, in the process of bending the mobile terminal, the use habit and the requirement of the user are fully considered in the reasonable bending angle interval to control the mobile terminal to bend.

Further, it should be noted that the scheme for determining the target angle matching with the target face contour of the user described in the above two aspects may be used in combination, specifically: under the condition that a target angle matched with the target face contour is stored in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be directly controlled to bend according to the angle intelligently recommended by the mobile terminal; and under the condition that the target angle matched with the target face contour is not stored in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be controlled to bend by recommending an angle interval matched with the target face contour to the user and determining the form of the target angle in the angle interval based on the selection of the user, and further, the matched face contour and the angle determined in response to the selection operation of the user are stored in an associated manner, so that when the face contour is detected subsequently, the corresponding bending angle can be automatically and intelligently matched directly based on the established association relationship, namely, the target angle for controlling the mobile terminal to bend is matched based on the target face contour.

Optionally, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal further includes a driving mechanism, and the mobile terminal can be bent and unfolded by the driving mechanism.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal can be freely switched between the unfolded state and the different folded states by providing a driving mechanism in the mobile terminal, wherein the driving mechanism may be formed based on different driving manners, and optionally, the driving mechanism includes a driving plate made of memory metal for driving the mobile terminal to be folded and unfolded under the condition of a memory temperature, or a gear and a hinge for driving the mobile terminal to be folded and unfolded, and so on.

Further, the scheme for controlling the mobile terminal to automatically bend to the target angle in step 103 may be implemented in the following manner, and may specifically be implemented as follows:

and controlling the driving mechanism to drive the foldable mechanism of the mobile terminal to bend to a target angle.

It can be understood that the mobile terminal is bent by arranging the driving mechanism and the foldable mechanism in mutual linkage, specifically, after the target angle is determined, a driving signal can be sent to a control system (such as a temperature adjusting system or a motor) of the mobile terminal based on the target angle to control the driving mechanism to drive the foldable mechanism to bend, so that the mobile terminal is bent automatically to the degree required by the user, that is, to the degree matched with the face contour of the user.

For example, in a case that the driving mechanism includes a hinge type mechanism, a driving signal may be sent to a driving motor of the mobile terminal according to the determined target angle, so as to control the gear to rotate by a number of revolutions matching the target angle under the driving of the motor, so that the hinge is bent to drive a foldable mechanism (such as a foldable screen) of the mobile terminal to bend the target angle under the driving of the driving mechanism including the gear and the hinge, thereby achieving the purpose of bending the mobile terminal by the target angle, where the distribution of the motor and the driving mechanism in the mobile terminal may be as shown in fig. 3, hinges are distributed on two opposite long sides of the mobile terminal, and the hinges are bent when the motor driving gear at the center position rotates to drive the mobile terminal to realize corresponding bending.

For a driving mechanism made of memory metal and used for driving the mobile terminal to bend and unfold under the condition of memory temperature, a driving signal can be sent to a temperature adjusting system of the mobile terminal according to the determined target angle so as to control the temperature adjusting system to adjust the temperature of a driving plate to reach the memory temperature of the memory metal, and therefore bending matched with the target angle is achieved.

Optionally, in the control method in the embodiment of the present invention, the sound emitting holes may be formed in one or more positions of the mobile terminal, that is, the sound emitting regions are formed, preferably, the sound emitting regions are formed on the side surfaces of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal realizes side sound emitting, and therefore, holes do not need to be formed in the screen of the mobile terminal, so as to improve the screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal, for example, the sound emitting regions may be formed on at least one of the top side surface and the bottom side surface of the mobile terminal.

Optionally, the target sound output area used by the mobile terminal in the voice call and other processes may be a sound output area corresponding to an earpiece of the mobile terminal, or may also be a sound output area corresponding to a speaker (i.e., a loudspeaker) of the mobile terminal, that is, the mobile terminal may be a sound output structure including an earpiece and a speaker, as shown in fig. 4; of course, the mobile terminal may also be a voice-out configuration comprising two speakers, i.e. replacing the receiver shown in fig. 4 with a speaker. Therefore, the earphone and the loudspeaker or the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker can be switched according to the using direction of the mobile terminal, so that the sound output area corresponding to the using direction of the mobile terminal is used as the target sound output area to realize the functions of voice receiving and the like.

Further, through the linkage and cooperation of the driving mechanism and the foldable mechanism, in addition to the bending with a single angle of a smooth arc as shown in fig. 2, the mobile terminal can be bent into a single non-smooth angle as shown in fig. 5; and also can accomplish the bending of the mobile terminal at various angles, such as two right angles as shown in fig. 6, by arranging a combination of a plurality of sets of driving mechanisms and folding mechanisms in the mobile terminal.

Further, when the target sound output area includes a sound output area corresponding to a speaker (i.e., a loudspeaker), that is, when functions such as voice answering during a call are implemented through the speaker, the working mode of the speaker is a target mode matched with the target angle.

It can be understood that the working mode of the loudspeaker corresponding to the target sound output area for receiving the voice is matched with the bent target angle of the mobile terminal in the voice call and other processes, so that the sound output quality of the mobile terminal in the bending process can be ensured, and the hearing experience of a user can be ensured.

Optionally, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the specific control logic may be implemented as:

and setting the working mode of the loudspeaker to be a target mode matched with the target angle according to the target angle.

Optionally, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the target mode may include at least a first mode and a second mode, where an output volume of the first mode is lower than an output volume of the second mode; for example, the first mode may correspond to a so-called earpiece mode of the mobile terminal, i.e. a low volume mode when the mobile terminal is close to a human ear, to avoid that the ear is damaged by loud sounds; and the second mode may correspond to a speaker mode of a so-called mobile terminal, suitable for use away from the human ear. Therefore, the communication modes of the mobile terminal can be further enriched.

Further, the working mode of the speaker is a target mode matched with a target angle, and the working mode includes:

under the condition that the target angle is greater than or equal to a first preset angle and less than or equal to a second preset angle, the working mode of the loudspeaker is a first mode;

and under the condition that the target angle is smaller than the first preset angle or larger than the second preset angle, the working mode of the loudspeaker is the second mode.

It can be understood that the working mode of the speaker of the mobile terminal can be freely switched between the first mode and the second mode, and the working mode can be matched and switched according to the angle interval where the target angle bent by the mobile terminal is specifically located, so that the working mode of the speaker is more diversified.

the scheme of setting the working mode of the speaker to the target mode matched with the target angle may specifically be implemented as follows:

setting the working mode to be a first mode under the condition that the target angle is greater than or equal to a first angle and less than or equal to a second angle;

and setting the working mode to be the second mode under the condition that the target angle is smaller than the first angle or larger than the second angle.

It can be understood that the operating mode of the speaker corresponding to the target sound emitting area is controlled according to the bending angle of the mobile terminal, and specifically, when the target angle is within the interval in which the left and right end points are the first angle and the second angle, the operating mode of the speaker corresponding to the target sound emitting area may be switched to or maintained in the first mode, and when the target angle is outside the interval in which the left and right end points are the first angle and the second angle, the operating mode of the speaker corresponding to the target sound emitting area may be switched to or maintained in the second mode. So, can realize according to the mode of bending the automatic speaker that sets up of angle, satisfy the different demand of answering of user to promote user experience.

For example, when a user answers a call, the speaker of the mobile terminal may be defaulted to enter a handset mode (i.e., a first mode) with a low volume, and at this time, the user may be close to the ear to talk, and may display the working mode of the speaker on the screen at this time, and if it is detected that the bending angle of the mobile terminal is in an interval corresponding to a speaker mode (i.e., a second mode) without increasing the volume, the working mode of the speaker may be automatically switched from the handset mode to the hands-free mode, and if it is detected that the bending angle of the mobile terminal is in the interval corresponding to the handset mode, the working mode of the speaker may be maintained in the handset mode.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned scheme for controlling switching of the working mode of the speaker according to the bending angle of the mobile terminal may be applied to a scene that the bending angle of the mobile terminal is not known for the moment, in addition to a scene that the known mobile terminal is bent automatically and matches with the face contour of the current user (i.e. the target face contour), for example, if the user randomly bends the mobile terminal by a certain angle or manually bends the mobile terminal by selecting an angle other than the angle interval matching with the target face contour, at this time, the current bending angle of the mobile terminal may be detected by a hall sensor in the mobile terminal, and then the working mode of the speaker is controlled according to the interval where the current bending angle is located.

Optionally, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, a side surface where the target sound emitting area is located is an inclined surface.

It can be understood that, in order to further enable the target sound output area of the mobile terminal to better face the user in the process of answering the voice and to be more fit with the target face contour of the user, the side where the target sound output area is located can be set as an inclined plane, as shown in fig. 7, the top side and the bottom side of the mobile terminal are both set as inclined planes, so that the inclined planes can better fit with ears of the person no matter whether the target sound output area is located on the top side or the bottom side, thereby reducing sound leakage and improving sound output quality; further, if the mobile terminal shown in fig. 7 is completely folded in half, as shown in fig. 8, the two inclined surfaces can form a "V" shaped outer surface, and at this time, since the sound output region is located in the recessed region of the "V", it is possible to appropriately avoid the sound loss due to the sound output region being blocked by foreign objects such as clothes and palms.

In summary, in the terminal control method according to the embodiment of the application, the bending angle can be intelligently recommended according to the identified face contour of the user, and the mobile terminal can be automatically controlled to realize bending, so that the communication mode of the mobile terminal is enriched; the sound quality is ensured, the problems of sound dispersion attenuation and sound leakage are solved, and a high screen occupation ratio is ensured because the sound is output from the side surface without opening a hole on the screen of the mobile terminal; furthermore, the working mode of the loudspeaker can be automatically switched according to the bending angle control of the mobile terminal, and the loudspeaker is used as a receiver when necessary, so that the communication mode of the mobile terminal is further enriched.
