Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The full-face screen is the development trend of the mobile terminal. The difficulty in realizing the full-screen is how to cancel or hide devices such as a front-facing camera, a distance sensor, a microphone, a fingerprint sensor, a physical key and the like on the front face of the terminal, so that the proportion of the display screen is increased as much as possible.

Fig. 1 schematically shows an external view of a slide type terminal 100. The slide type terminal 100 includes: the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120 are connected by a sliding rail. The upper slide cover 110 and the lower slide cover 120 can be switched between a slide-open state and a slide-closed state.

The slide-open state refers to a state in which a relative sliding distance between the upper slider 110 and the lower slider 120 is greater than a preset value. In the slide-open state, the front camera 12 on the front surface of the lower slide cover 120 is exposed.

The sliding state refers to a state in which the relative sliding distance between the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120 is zero, that is, the front positions of the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120 are coincident. In the slide-closed state, the front camera 12 on the front surface of the lower slide cover 120 is in an unexposed state.

Optionally, a sliding detection assembly and a sliding driving component are disposed between the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120, where the sliding detection assembly is configured to detect whether a relative sliding distance between the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120 reaches a threshold value when a user starts to slide the upper sliding cover and the lower sliding cover, and report a sliding event when the relative sliding distance reaches the threshold value. The sliding driving means is used to control the upper sliding cover 110 and the lower sliding cover 120 to automatically slide according to the sliding event until the sliding state is completely switched to the sliding open state or the sliding open state is completely switched to the sliding closed state.

The above-mentioned slip detection assembly may be implemented by a magnet and a hall sensor.

Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a slide type terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The slide type terminal 100 includes an upper slide cover 110 and a lower slide cover 120, and the upper slide cover 110 and the lower slide cover 120 are connected by a slide rail (not shown). The direction arrow 130 in fig. 2 indicates the sliding direction of the upper slider 110 relative to the lower slider 120.

The upper sliding cover 110 is provided therein with a magnet including a first magnetic pole 111 and a second magnetic pole 112. Alternatively, the first magnetic pole 111 is an N pole, the second magnetic pole 112 is an S pole, and the direction of the magnetic lines of force of the magnet is from the N pole to the S pole.

A hall sensor (hall)121, a processor 122 and a memory 123 are arranged in the lower sliding cover 120, the hall sensor 121 is electrically connected with the processor 122, and the processor 122 is electrically connected with the memory 123. The processor 122 is configured to determine the sliding state of the sliding terminal 100 by monitoring the level change of the hall sensor 121 when sliding from the N pole to the S pole.

The hall sensor 121 is an electronic device that generates an output voltage by a hall effect, where the hall sensor 121 located in a magnetic field has a current passing through one end of the hall sensor 121 and the other end, and the current carriers in the current are shifted to one side when passing through the hall sensor 121 under the action of the lorentz force of the hall sensor 121, so that the hall sensor 121 generates a potential difference, and the potential difference generated by the hall sensor 121 through the hall effect is a hall voltage. The hall sensor 121 is located in a side direction of the N pole of the magnet when the slide-type terminal 100 is in the slide-closed state, and in a side direction of the S pole of the magnet when the slide-type terminal 100 is in the slide-open state.

The processor 122 is located in the lower sliding cover 120, and is configured to monitor a change in an output level of the hall sensor 121, and determine a sliding cover state of the sliding-cover terminal 100 according to the monitored change in the output level. A memory 123 is located within the lower slider 120 for storing a corresponding computer program.

In an alternative embodiment, when the upper slider 110 of the slider terminal 100 is slid in the direction of the directional arrow 130, the hall sensor 121 switches the output level from the first level to the second level when it is positioned directly under the magnet during the sliding of the slider. The first level may be a high level, and the second level may be a low level. That is, when the hall sensor 121 is located right under the magnet during the sliding of the slider, the output level is switched from the high level to the low level.

When the processor 122 monitors that the level output by the hall sensor 121 is switched from the high level to the low level through the computer program stored in the memory 123, it is determined that the sliding distance of the upper slide cover 110 with respect to the lower slide cover 120 in the sliding direction indicated by the directional arrow 130 reaches the first distance. The slide-type terminal 100 is further provided with a slide driving part (not shown in the figure) between the upper slide cover 110 and the lower slide cover 120, and the slide driving part is configured to drive the upper slide cover 110 to continue sliding in the sliding direction when the sliding distance of the upper slide cover 110 relative to the lower slide cover 120 in the sliding direction reaches a first distance. When the relative sliding distance between the upper and lower sliding covers of the sliding-cover terminal 100 reaches the first distance, the processor 122 controls the sliding driving part to drive the upper sliding cover 110 to continue sliding in the sliding direction relative to the lower sliding cover 120.

In another alternative embodiment, when the upper slider 110 of the slider-type terminal 100 is slid in the direction opposite to the directional arrow 130, the hall sensor 121 switches the output level from the second level to the first level when it is positioned directly under the magnet during the sliding of the slider. The first level may be a high level, and the second level may be a low level. That is, the hall sensor 121 switches the output level from a high level to a low level when it is located directly below the magnet during the sliding of the slide cover.

When the processor 122 monitors that the level output by the hall sensor 121 is switched from the low level to the high level through the computer program stored in the memory 123, it is determined that the sliding distance of the upper sliding cover 110 relative to the lower sliding cover 120 in the sliding direction indicated by the opposite direction of the direction arrow 130 reaches the second distance. The slide-type terminal 100 is further provided with a slide driving part (not shown in the figure) between the upper slide cover 110 and the lower slide cover 120, and the slide driving part is configured to drive the upper slide cover 110 to continue sliding in the sliding direction when the sliding distance of the upper slide cover 110 relative to the lower slide cover 120 in the sliding direction reaches a second distance. When the relative sliding distance between the upper and lower sliding covers of the sliding-cover terminal 100 reaches the second distance, the processor 122 controls the sliding driving part to drive the upper sliding cover 110 to slide continuously in the sliding direction relative to the lower sliding cover 120.

Optionally, the front surface of the upper sliding cover 110 is further provided with a touch screen, and the screen occupation ratio of the touch screen is greater than a preset screen occupation ratio, for example, the screen occupation ratio of the touch screen is greater than 90%.

Optionally, at least one of a motion sensor, a front camera, a rear camera, a communication chip, a physical interface, a microphone, a speaker, and an antenna is further disposed in the lower sliding cover 120.

In summary, in the slide-type terminal provided in this embodiment, the magnet is disposed on the upper sliding cover of the slide-type terminal, and the hall sensor is disposed on the lower sliding cover, so that when the hall sensor slides back and forth between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole of the magnet, the output level of the hall sensor changes, and the slide-type state of the slide-type terminal is determined by monitoring the change of the output level of the hall sensor, thereby solving the problem of how to detect the sliding state of the upper/lower sliding covers.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for detecting a state of a slide cover, which may be applied to the slide-type terminal shown in fig. 2, and the method includes:

step 301, monitoring the output level of the hall sensor.

And the processor of the sliding-cover terminal is used for monitoring the output level of the Hall sensor and determining the sliding-cover state of the sliding-cover terminal according to the output level. The memory stores a computer program which is used by the processor for monitoring the output level of the Hall sensor and determining the sliding closure state of the sliding closure type terminal according to the output level.

The Hall sensor outputs Hall voltage according to Hall effect, and the Hall voltage has different corresponding levels according to different directions of magnetic lines of force passing through the Hall sensor.

Referring to fig. 4, a change in output level when the hall sensor 121 slides between the first and second

magnetic poles

111 and 112 of the magnet is shown. Wherein the magnet includes a first magnetic pole 111 and a second magnetic pole 112. Alternatively, the first magnetic pole 111 may be an N-pole, and the second magnetic pole 112 may be an S-pole.

At (1), the hall sensor 121 is located at the lower side of the first magnetic pole 111 of the magnet, the magnetic force line of the magnet is distributed from the N pole to the S pole, and when the hall sensor 121 slides from the N pole to the S pole of the magnet and the hall sensor 121 does not slide to the center line position of the magnet, the magnetic force line received by the hall sensor 121 is B1. The direction of the magnetic force line B1 is analyzed, the magnetic force line B1 can be divided into a magnetic force line B2 in the horizontal direction and a magnetic force line B3 in the vertical direction, the direction of the magnetic force line B2 in the horizontal direction is from right to left, and the direction of the magnetic force line B3 in the vertical direction is from top to bottom, so that the hall sensor 121 determines that the direction of the magnetic force line B3 in the vertical direction is from top to bottom according to the received magnetic force line B1, and then the output level of the hall sensor 121 at (1) is high according to the principle of the hall effect.

When the hall sensor 121 slides from the N pole to the S pole of the magnet and the hall sensor 121 does not slide to the center line of the magnet, the magnetic lines of force B1 received by the hall sensor 121 can be divided into the magnetic lines of force B3 in the vertical direction, and the direction of the magnetic lines of force B3 in the vertical direction is from top to bottom, so the output level of the hall sensor 121 is high.

At (2), the hall sensor 121 is located at the lower side of the center line position of the magnet, and when the hall sensor 121 slides from the N pole to the S pole of the magnet and the hall sensor 121 has slid to the center line position of the magnet, the magnetic line of force received by the hall sensor 121 is B4. The direction of the magnetic force line B4 is analyzed, the magnetic force line B4 is a magnetic force line in the horizontal direction, and the direction of the magnetic force line B4 in the horizontal direction is from right to left, so that the hall sensor 121 determines that there is no magnetic force line in the vertical direction according to the received magnetic force line B4, and then the output level of the hall sensor 121 at (2) is 0 level according to the principle of the hall effect.

At (3), the hall sensor 121 is located at the lower side of the second magnetic pole 112 of the magnet, and when the hall sensor 121 slides from the N pole to the S pole of the magnet and the hall sensor 121 has slid through the center line position of the magnet, the magnetic line of force received by the hall sensor 121 is B5. The direction of the magnetic force line B5 is analyzed, the magnetic force line B5 can be divided into a magnetic force line B6 in the horizontal direction and a magnetic force line B7 in the vertical direction, the direction of the magnetic force line B6 in the horizontal direction is from right to left, and the direction of the magnetic force line B7 in the vertical direction is from bottom to top, so that the hall sensor 121 determines that the direction of the magnetic force line B7 in the vertical direction is from bottom to top according to the received magnetic force line B5, and then the output level of the hall sensor 121 at (3) is low according to the principle of the hall effect.

When the hall sensor 121 slides from the N pole to the S pole of the magnet and the hall sensor 121 has slid through the center line of the magnet, the magnetic force lines B5 received by the hall sensor 121 can be divided into the magnetic force lines B7 in the vertical direction, and the direction of the magnetic force lines B7 in the vertical direction is from bottom to top, so the output level of the hall sensor 121 is low.

Shown at 140 in fig. 4 is a change in the output level of the hall sensor 121 in three stages of sliding from the first magnetic pole 111 to the second magnetic pole 112 of the magnet.

Step 302, when it is monitored that the first level is switched to the second level, it is determined that the sliding distance of the upper sliding cover relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding direction reaches a first distance.

When monitoring that the level output by the Hall sensor is switched from a high level to a low level, the processor determines that the sliding distance of the upper sliding cover relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding direction reaches a first distance, and the processor determines that the sliding cover type terminal is in the sliding state according to the first distance, namely the processor determines that a user needs to slide the sliding cover type terminal.

A sliding driving part is also arranged between the upper sliding cover and the lower sliding cover of the sliding cover type terminal. And when determining that the sliding distance in the sliding direction reaches the first distance, the processor controls the sliding driving part to drive the upper sliding cover to continuously slide relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding direction.

And step 303, when it is monitored that the second level is switched to the first level, determining that the sliding distance of the upper sliding cover relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding direction reaches a second distance.

When monitoring that the level output by the Hall sensor is switched from low level to high level, the processor determines that the sliding distance of the upper sliding cover relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding closing direction reaches a second distance, and the processor determines that the sliding cover type terminal is in the sliding closing state according to the second distance, namely the processor determines that a user needs to slide to close the sliding cover type terminal.

A sliding driving part is also arranged between the upper sliding cover and the lower sliding cover of the sliding cover type terminal. And when the sliding distance of the processor in the sliding direction reaches a second distance, controlling the sliding driving part to drive the upper sliding cover to continuously slide relative to the lower sliding cover in the sliding direction.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, when it is monitored that the output level of the hall sensor is switched from the first level to the second level, the processor determines that the sliding distance between the upper and lower sliding covers reaches the first distance, and determines that the sliding-cover terminal is in the sliding-open state according to the first distance; when monitoring that the output level of the Hall sensor is switched from the second level to the first level, the processor determines that the sliding distance between the upper sliding cover and the lower sliding cover reaches the second distance, determines that the sliding cover type terminal is in a sliding closed state according to the second distance, and monitors the output level of the Hall sensor through the processor, so that the monitoring of the processor on the state of the sliding cover type terminal is realized, and the problem of detecting the sliding state of the upper sliding cover and the lower sliding cover is solved.

In the method provided by this embodiment, a sliding driving component is further disposed between the upper and lower sliding covers of the sliding-cover terminal, and the upper sliding cover is driven by the sliding driving component to continuously slide in the sliding direction, so that a user can slide the sliding cover open and closed without using too much force when using the sliding-cover terminal.

It should be noted that the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is one of the methods for implementing the method for detecting the state of the sliding cover, when the positions of the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole of the magnet in the sliding-cover terminal are opposite, the change of the output level of the hall sensor during the sliding process of the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole of the magnet is opposite to the change of the output level shown in the above embodiments, so when the positions of the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole of the magnet in the sliding-cover terminal are opposite, the method for detecting the state of the sliding cover can refer to the method shown in fig. 3, and will not be described in detail here.
