Preferably, the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module can be arranged at any positions in the electronic equipment, which have no influence on the appearance and performance of the electronic equipment. Preferably, the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are disposed at two ends of the foldable screen, and may be at positions where the receiving power of the signal receiving module is maximum at each folding angle when the signal transmitting module transmits a signal at a preset power.

Referring to FIG. 1, a flow chart of the steps of a method of detecting a fold angle of the present invention is shown.
When the electronic device works, the signal transmitting module can be set to always transmit signals with preset power, namely, the transmitting power of the signal transmitting module is unchanged. Specifically, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is affected by the folding angle of the foldable screen, that is, when the foldable screen is folded to the first folding angle, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is the first receiving power; when the foldable screen is folded to the second folding angle, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is the second receiving power.
Specifically, step 110 may determine a first receive power of the signal receiving module by acquiring a first receive signal of the signal receiving module.
And step 120, determining a first folding angle of the foldable screen according to the preset power and the first receiving power.
Specifically, the folding angle range of the foldable screen may be 0 degree to 180 degrees, when the signal transmitting module transmits a signal with a preset power, since the receiving power of the signal receiving module is affected by the folding angle of the foldable screen, there is a corresponding relationship between the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module, and each folding angle (e.g., 0 degree, 1 degree, … …, 180 degrees), and according to the corresponding relationship between the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module, and the folding angle, when the preset power and the receiving power of the signal receiving module are known as the first receiving power, the folding angle of the foldable screen may be determined quickly and accurately. The corresponding relation among the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module and the folding angle can be set according to a large amount of test data or simulation data. Specifically, the preset power may be any power that does not affect the performance of the electronic device.
The preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module and the corresponding relation among each folding angle can be calibrated by a producer or a brand in the stage of producing the electronic equipment or debugging the electronic equipment and then stored in the electronic equipment.
In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device comprises a foldable screen, a signal transmitting module and a signal receiving module corresponding to the signal transmitting module, wherein the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to two ends of the foldable screen, and under the condition that the signal transmitting module transmits signals with preset power, first receiving power of the signal receiving module is obtained, and then a first folding angle of the foldable screen is determined according to the preset power and the first receiving power. The foldable screen detection device has the advantages that the foldable screen can be detected by only adding the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module in the electronic equipment under the condition that the structure of the foldable screen is not changed, the producibility is good, the yield is high, and the detection accuracy is high.
Another method for detecting a folding angle provided by the present invention is described in detail. The method for detecting the folding angle is applied to electronic equipment, the electronic equipment comprises a foldable screen, a signal transmitting module and a signal receiving module corresponding to the signal transmitting module, and the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are respectively arranged at the positions corresponding to the two ends of the foldable screen. The signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module correspond to each other and can receive the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting module for the signal receiving module; the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are respectively arranged at the corresponding positions of the two ends of the foldable screen, the signal transmitting module can be arranged at the first end of the foldable screen, the signal receiving module is arranged at the second end of the foldable screen, the first end of the foldable screen corresponds to the second end of the foldable screen, namely, if the first end of the foldable screen is the top end of the foldable screen, the second end of the foldable screen is the bottom end of the foldable screen, and if the first end of the foldable screen is the bottom end of the foldable screen, the second end of the foldable screen is the top end of the foldable screen.
Preferably, the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module can be arranged at any positions in the electronic equipment, which have no influence on the appearance and performance of the electronic equipment. Preferably, the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are disposed at two ends of the foldable screen, and may be at positions where the receiving power of the signal receiving module is maximum at each folding angle when the signal transmitting module transmits a signal at a preset power.
Alternatively, the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module may be miniature directional antennas operating at a preset frequency. If the electronic device has the signal transmitting function and the signal receiving function when the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are not arranged, the preset frequency can be within a signal frequency range corresponding to the existing signal transmitting function and the signal receiving function of the electronic device or can be out of the signal frequency range corresponding to the existing signal transmitting function and the signal receiving function of the electronic device, and the preset frequency only needs to have no influence on the existing signal transmitting function and the existing signal receiving function of the electronic device.
Alternatively, the foldable screen may be a foldable screen of any configuration. For example, the foldable screen may serve as an outer surface of the electronic device and the housing as an inner surface of the electronic device when the foldable screen is folded, or the foldable screen may serve as an inner surface of the electronic device and the housing as an outer surface of the electronic device when the foldable screen is folded.
Referring to FIG. 2, a flow chart of steps of another method of detecting a fold angle of the present invention is shown.
When the electronic device works, the signal transmitting module can be set to always transmit signals with preset power, namely, the transmitting power of the signal transmitting module is unchanged. Specifically, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is affected by the folding angle of the foldable screen, that is, when the foldable screen is folded to the first folding angle, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is the first receiving power; when the foldable screen is folded to the second folding angle, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is the second receiving power.
Specifically, step 210 may determine a first receive power of the signal receiving module by acquiring a first receive signal of the signal receiving module.
And step 220, determining a first folding angle of the foldable screen according to the preset power and the first receiving power.
Specifically, the folding angle range of the foldable screen may be 0 degree to 180 degrees, when the signal transmitting module transmits a signal with a preset power, since the receiving power of the signal receiving module is affected by the folding angle of the foldable screen, there is a corresponding relationship between the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module, and each folding angle (e.g., 0 degree, 1 degree, … …, 180 degrees), and according to the corresponding relationship between the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module, and the folding angle, when the preset power and the receiving power of the signal receiving module are known as the first receiving power, the folding angle of the foldable screen may be determined quickly and accurately. The corresponding relation among the preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module and the folding angle can be set according to a large amount of test data or simulation data. Specifically, the preset power may be any power that does not affect the performance of the electronic device.
The preset power, the receiving power of the signal receiving module and the corresponding relation among each folding angle can be calibrated by a producer or a brand in the stage of producing the electronic equipment or debugging the electronic equipment and then stored in the electronic equipment.
Optionally, the step 220 of determining a first folding angle of the foldable screen according to the preset power and the first received power may include:
The first power range may be a preset power range corresponding to the folding angles, and each folding angle corresponds to a power range of the received power one to one. The power range of the received power corresponding to the folding angle can be set according to a large amount of test data or simulation data.
The preset power, the first power range and the folding angle can have unique corresponding relation, and therefore when the first power range where the preset power and the first receiving power are located is known, the folding angle of the foldable screen can be determined quickly and accurately.
Since the step 222 determines the first folding angle corresponding to the first receiving power according to the preset power, the corresponding relationship between the first power range and the folding angle, and the first power range includes a plurality of receiving powers, the error of detecting the folding angle of the foldable screen can be reduced, the reliability of detecting the folding angle of the foldable screen can be improved, and the determination of the wrong folding angle due to the change of the receiving power in a small range can be avoided.
The preset power, the power range of the receiving power of the signal receiving module and the corresponding relation between each folding angle can be calibrated by a producer or a brand in the stage of producing the electronic equipment or debugging the electronic equipment and then stored in the electronic equipment.
Optionally, after obtaining the first receiving power of the signal receiving module, the method may further include:
in step 230, it is determined whether the received power of the signal receiving module changes.
Alternatively, step 230 may determine whether the receiving power of the signal receiving module changes according to the first receiving power of the signal receiving module and other receiving powers of the signal receiving module within the first preset time. The first preset time may be a first preset time before the first receiving power of the signal receiving module is obtained, or the first preset time may be a first preset time after the first receiving power of the signal receiving module is obtained, and the first preset time may be set according to a large amount of test data or simulation data.
And step 240, if yes, controlling the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module to enter a continuous working state.
If the receiving power of the signal receiving module changes, it is indicated that the foldable screen is still in the rotating process, and the folding angle of the foldable screen needs to be continuously detected.
Specifically, in the continuous working state, the signal transmitting module continuously transmits signals, and the signal receiving module continuously receives signals, so as to ensure that the receiving power of the signal receiving module can be continuously obtained in step 210, and ensure that the folding angle of the foldable screen can be continuously detected.
And 250, if not, controlling the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module to enter a working state according to a preset period.
If the receiving power of the signal receiving module is not changed, it indicates that the foldable screen is not rotated and is in a stable state.
Specifically, under the condition that the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module enter the working state according to the preset period, the signal transmitting module may transmit a signal every second preset time interval, and the signal receiving module receives a signal every second preset time interval correspondingly, so as to ensure that the receiving power of the signal receiving module can be obtained in step 210, and the folding angle of the foldable screen can be detected in step 220. The second preset time may be set according to a large amount of test data or simulation data, for example, the second preset time may be a time in the order of milliseconds or seconds.
The reduction of power consumption of the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module can be achieved through step 250.
Optionally, the step 230 of determining whether the receiving power of the signal receiving module changes may include:
in step 231, a second receiving power of the signal receiving module is obtained.
In this case, step 231 may obtain the second receiving power of the signal receiving module within a first preset time before step 210, or step 231 may obtain the second receiving power of the signal receiving module within a first preset time after step 210.
Specifically, step 231 may determine the second receiving power of the signal receiving module by acquiring the second receiving signal of the signal receiving module.
If yes, step 233, determining that the receiving power of the signal receiving module has not changed.
If the second received power is within the first power range of the first received power, the foldable screen is not rotated and is in a stable state, and the folding angle is not changed.
If not, the receiving power of the signal receiving module is determined to be changed, step 234.
If the second received power is not in the first power range of the first received power, it indicates that the foldable screen is still in the rotating process, and the folding angle of the foldable screen needs to be continuously detected.
In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment comprises a foldable screen, a signal transmitting module and a signal receiving module corresponding to the signal transmitting module, wherein the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to two ends of the foldable screen, and the first receiving power of the signal receiving module is obtained under the condition that the signal transmitting module transmits signals at preset power; determining a first folding angle of the foldable screen according to the preset power and the first receiving power; and judging whether the receiving power of the signal receiving module changes or not after the first receiving power of the signal receiving module is acquired, if so, controlling the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module to enter a continuous working state, and if not, controlling the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module to enter the working state according to a preset period. The folding angle of the foldable screen can be detected only by adding the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module in the electronic equipment under the condition that the structure of the foldable screen is not changed, the producibility is good, the yield is high, the detection accuracy is high, and the power consumption of the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module is low.
