Specifically, since the display screen 2 is connected to the side frame 11, the side frame 11 extends and retracts in the front-rear direction, so that the display screen 2 can be driven to move relative to the body portion 1.

The shape of the display screen 2 can be arbitrarily selected as desired, for example, as shown in fig. 1 to 8, the display screen 2 is formed in a rectangular shape, the display screen 2 has an upper edge 21 and a lower edge 22 opposite to each other, and a left edge 23 and a right edge 24 opposite to each other, the upper edge 21 and the lower edge 22 are short-side edges of the display screen 2, and the left edge 23 and the right edge 24 are long-side edges of the display screen 2, in which case the display screen 2 can have a landscape display mode (as shown in fig. 2) and a portrait display mode (as shown in fig. 3).

Preferably, the side frame 11 can be uniformly extended and contracted in its circumferential direction as well as non-uniformly extended and contracted in its circumferential direction. The side frame 11 is not uniformly extended or extended in the circumferential direction, and the amount of extension can be arbitrarily selected according to the user's needs.

The following description will be made by taking the state of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1 as an example of its initial state:

the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1 is in its initial state, where the side frame 11 is in a compressed state, and the thickness and volume of the electronic device 100 both reach a minimum state, and under the normal use and carrying conditions, the electronic device 100 can be in the original state shown in fig. 1, and at this time, the electronic device 100 is in a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a thinner thickness;

the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4 and 5 is in a state in which the side frame 11 is unevenly stretched in the circumferential direction thereof. Specifically, in the specific example shown in fig. 4, of the upper frame, the lower frame, the left frame, and the right frame of the side frame 11, the left frame is stretched in the front-back direction by the largest amount, the right frame is stretched in the front-back direction by the smallest amount or in a state where no stretching occurs, the amounts of stretching of the upper frame and the lower frame in the front-back direction are substantially the same, and the amounts of stretching of the upper frame and the lower frame in the front-back direction gradually decrease in the left-to-right direction, at this time, the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4 has a trapezoidal mesa structure as a whole; along with the stretching deformation of the side frame 11, the display screen 2 moves relative to the main body 1, the relative position between the display screen 2 and the main body 1 changes, and the display viewing angle of the display screen 2 changes when the position where the electronic device 100 is placed is not changed or the posture of the user holding the electronic device 100 is not changed. In the specific example shown in fig. 5, of the upper frame, the lower frame, the left frame, and the right frame of the side frame 11, the upper frame is stretched in the front-rear direction by the minimum amount or in a non-stretched state, the lower frame is stretched in the front-rear direction by the maximum amount, the left frame and the right frame are stretched in the front-rear direction by substantially the same amount, and the left frame and the right frame are stretched in the front-rear direction by the gradually decreasing amount in the bottom-up direction, at this time, the whole electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5 has a trapezoidal mesa structure; along with the stretching deformation of the side frame 11, the display screen 2 moves relative to the main body 1, the relative position between the display screen 2 and the main body 1 changes, and the display viewing angle of the display screen 2 changes when the position where the electronic device 100 is placed is not changed or the posture of the user holding the electronic device 100 is not changed.

Specifically, the attitude sensor may also be referred to as a motion sensor, and as one of the motion sensors, a gravity sensor may be cited, which uses an elastic sensing element to make a cantilever-type displacer and uses an energy storage spring made of the elastic sensing element to drive an electrical contact, thereby realizing conversion of a change in gravity into a change in an electrical signal.

Another example of the motion sensor is an accelerometer sensor, which can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally, three axes), detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications for recognizing the posture of a mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer and tapping), and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the motion sensors listed above may be used as elements for obtaining "attitude parameters" described later, but the present application is not limited thereto, and other sensors capable of obtaining "attitude parameters" fall within the protection scope of the present application, such as a gyroscope and the like, and the operation principle and data processing procedure of the gyroscope may be similar to those of the prior art, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here for avoiding redundancy.

In addition, in this embodiment of the application, as the sensor, other sensors such as a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor may also be configured, which are not described herein again.

The light sensor may include an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the display panel according to the brightness of ambient light, and a proximity sensor that turns off the display panel and/or the backlight when the mobile phone is moved to the ear.

The audio circuitry, speaker and microphone may provide an audio interface between the user and the handset. The audio circuit can transmit the electric signal converted from the received audio data to the loudspeaker, and the electric signal is converted into a sound signal by the loudspeaker to be output; on the other hand, the microphone converts the collected sound signal into an electric signal, the electric signal is received by the audio circuit and then converted into audio data, and the audio data is processed by the audio data output processor and then sent to another mobile phone through the radio frequency circuit or output to the memory for further processing.

The processor is a control center of the electronic device 100, is installed on the circuit board assembly, connects various parts of the whole electronic device 100 by using various interfaces and lines, performs various functions of the electronic device 100 and processes data by running or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory and calling data stored in the memory, thereby performing overall monitoring of the electronic device 100. Alternatively, the processor may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor may integrate an application processor, which mainly handles operating systems, user interfaces, application programs, etc., and a modem processor, which mainly handles wireless communications.

The power supply can be logically connected with the processor through the power management system, so that the functions of managing charging, discharging, power consumption management and the like are realized through the power management system. Although not shown, the electronic device 100 may further include a bluetooth module, a sensor (e.g., an attitude sensor, a light sensor, other sensors such as a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor, etc.), etc., which are not described in detail herein.

It is understood that the mobile phone is only an example of the electronic device 100, and the application is not limited thereto, for example, the electronic device 100 of the application may also be a tablet computer or the like.
