Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any inventive effort fall within the scope of the present application.
It is to be understood that the terminology used in the embodiments of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The flexible display device in this application refers to an electronic device having a flexible screen. This type of electronic device can be bent, so that when a user uses the flexible display device, the user can bend the flexible display device into a desired form, so as to adapt the form of the flexible display device to the current use requirement of the user. On the other hand, when the user does not need to use the device, the occupied space can be reduced by bending, and the portability of the device is improved. Based on such a flexible display device, a method for controlling the flexible display device in the embodiment of the present application will be described below. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the method for controlling a flexible display device includes the following steps:
and step S11, detecting the current bending mode of the flexible display device.
Specifically, a bending parameter of the flexible display device may be detected during the process of bending the flexible display device, that is, the bending manner may be determined according to the bending parameter.
It should be noted that, because the bending parameters only need to represent the bending action of the flexible display device, once the bending of the flexible display device is started, the bending parameters can be acquired, that is, the bending parameters can be acquired in the bending process of the flexible display device.
In some embodiments, the bending mode is defined by a combined arrangement of one or more bending actions, the bending actions including the bending parameters. In this embodiment, when the bending manner includes one bending action, the flexible display device needs to return to the flat state after the one bending action occurs, and the bending manner is an effective bending manner. In other embodiments, only the one bending operation may be performed, and the straight state does not need to be restored. Wherein, the flat state refers to the unfolded state of the flexible display device without any bending.
When the bending manner is composed of a plurality of bending actions, the flexible display device needs to be restored to a straight state between two adjacent bending actions. Specifically, one or more of the bending motions of the different bending modes, the number of the bending motions, and the arrangement of the bending motions are different. Further, the bending parameters are one or more, and the different bending actions include at least one different bending parameter.
In an embodiment, the bending parameter includes a bending direction of the flexible display device, and specifically, the bending direction of the flexible display device includes a forward bending and/or a backward bending. The flexible display device comprises a display surface and a non-display surface opposite to the display surface, wherein the forward bending refers to bending of the flexible display device towards a direction that different areas of the display surface are attached together around a bending fold line, and similarly, the backward bending refers to bending of the flexible display device towards a direction that different areas of the non-display surface are attached together around a bending fold line.
In other embodiments, the bending parameter may further include a bending position of the flexible display device. When the bending action is determined by the bending position, different bending positions correspond to different bending modes, and the bending position is determined by the bending line. If the bending lines of the two bending modes do not coincide, that is, the bending positions of the two bending modes are different, the two bending modes are also different. For example, assuming that the distance between the left and right sides of the flexible display device is x and the distance between the upper and lower sides is y, the bending along the bending line parallel to the left side and at a distance x/2 from the left side is different from the bending along the bending line parallel to the left side and at a distance x/3 from the left side. Similarly, bending along a bending line parallel to the upper side and at a distance of y/4 from the upper side is different from bending along a bending line parallel to the upper side and at a distance of y/2 from the upper side. It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the flexible display device is bent, the bending position of the flexible display device can be acquired.
In other embodiments, the bending parameters may further include bending angles, and when the bending action is determined by the bending angles, different bending angles correspond to different bending modes. If the bending angles of the two bending modes are different, even if the bending positions of the two bending modes are the same or the bending directions of the two bending modes are the same, the two bending modes are different. It should be noted that, since the bending angle changes during the bending process, when the bending angle is detected, the final angle at the end of bending should be determined as the bending angle of the flexible display device.
It should be understood that when only the bending direction of the bending parameters is used to determine the bending action, the bending mode is independent of the bending position and bending angle of the flexible display device, and for example, as long as the flexible display device performs the back bending, the back bending is also the same regardless of whether the flexible display device bends along the bending line at a distance x/2 from the left side or bends along the bending line at a distance x/3 from the left side. Similarly, when only the bending position in the bending parameters is used to determine the bending action, the bending manner is independent of the bending direction and the bending angle of the flexible display device, for example, as long as the flexible display device is bent along the bending line at a distance of x/2 from the left side, the flexible display device can be bent in the same manner regardless of whether the flexible display device is bent in the back direction or in the forward direction. When only the bending angle of the bending parameters is used to determine the bending action, the bending mode is independent of the bending position of the flexible display device in the bending direction, for example, as long as the bending angle is 90, the same bending mode can be adopted for both forward bending and backward bending.
Of course, in some examples of the present embodiment, any combination of the bending position, the bending direction and the bending angle in the bending parameters may be used to determine one bending action, in which case, as long as two bends have one different bending parameter, the bending modes of the two bends are different. For example, in the bending parameters of one of the bends, the bending direction is back bending, and the bending position is a bending line at a position along x/2 of the left side; the bending direction in the other bending parameter is positive bending, the bending position is a bending line at a position along the left side edge at a distance of x/2, although the positions of the bending lines in the two bending parameters are the same, the bending mode needs to be embodied by using the bending position and the bending direction at the same time, and therefore the two bending modes are different.
Thus, the bending parameters of the present application may include a bending direction, a bending location, a bending angle, or any combination thereof.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the bending position of the flexible screen may be identified by a capacitive sensor attached to the flexible screen, that is, the bending position of the flexible screen is detected by a voltage change of the capacitive sensor or a path change between pre-buried contact points, so as to obtain the bending line. The bending angle of the flexible display device can be identified through an angle sensor arranged on the flexible screen.
And step S12, judging whether the current bending mode of the flexible display device is matched with the target bending mode.
Specifically, in some embodiments, a plurality of correspondence relationships between the bending manner and the function are defined in the preset correspondence relationship table between the bending manner and the function. The step of judging whether the current bending mode of the flexible display device is matched with the target bending mode includes: judging whether the current bending mode of the flexible display device is matched with one of a plurality of bending modes defined in the corresponding relation table; and if the current bending mode is matched with one of the bending modes defined in the corresponding relation table, determining that the current bending mode of the flexible display device is matched with the target bending mode. And the bending modes defined in the corresponding relation table are all target bending modes.
In other embodiments, when the bending parameter includes a bending direction, the target bending manner includes: the flexible display device is bent along a first direction within a preset time and then is restored to a flat state after being bent by a first bending angle, and then is bent by a second bending angle along a second direction. Wherein, the first direction and the second direction can be the same or opposite. In this embodiment, the first direction is a forward bending direction, and the second bending direction is a backward bending direction. It is understood that in some examples of the present embodiment, the first direction may also be a reverse bend, and the second direction may be a forward bend. It is understood that the preset time can be set according to specific requirements, and preferably, the preset time can be 2 seconds.
It should be noted that, the bending angle in this embodiment refers to an included angle between two portions of the flexible display device divided by the bending line after being bent around the bending line. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2A and 2B, the flexible display device is bent in a first direction by a first bending angle α and then returns to a flat state, and is then bent in a second direction by a second bending angle β. When the bending angle is 180 degrees, the flexible display device is in a straight state.
Further, in order to avoid that a slight bending during use is confused with the bending manner in the embodiments of the present application, in some embodiments, the bending angle of the flexible display device should be greater than the preset bending angle, and preferably, the preset bending angle may be 10 degrees. For example, when the flexible display device is bent forward by 9 degrees in the using process, the flexible display device is slightly bent, and the bending angle is smaller than the preset bending angle, so that the flexible display device cannot be judged to conform to a target bending mode, the condition that a corresponding function is triggered due to the fact that a user bends by mistake is avoided, and user experience is improved. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the preset bending angle may also be set according to specific situations, and is not limited herein.
In another embodiment, when the bending parameters of the plurality of bending actions in the target bending mode include bending angles, the difference between the bending angles between adjacent bending actions should be greater than a preset difference to prevent poor implementation between similar target bending modes.
In other embodiments, when the bending parameter includes a bending location, the target bending mode includes: the flexible display device is bent by taking the first bending line as an axis within a preset time, and then bent by taking the second bending line as an axis; wherein the first bend line and the second bend line are in different positions. In this embodiment, the bending direction and the bending angle of the flexible display device around the first bending line may be the same or different from the bending direction and the bending angle of the flexible display device around the second bending line, and are not limited herein.
In the above embodiment, the target bending mode is set to be the combination of bending directions or the combination of bending positions, so that the interestingness is high, the user interest in the flexible display device can be stimulated, and the user experience can be improved.
Step S13, when the current bending manner of the flexible display device matches the target bending manner, determining a function corresponding to the current bending manner according to a preset corresponding relationship table between bending manners and functions.
In this embodiment, the user bends the flexible display device to make the flexible display device execute a corresponding function. For example, in an example of the present embodiment, a user bends the flexible display device back by 90 degrees to return to a flat state, and then bends the flexible display device forward by 90 degrees, so that the flexible display device enters a power saving mode; the flexible display device is bent forwards for 90 degrees and then returns to a straight state, and then is bent backwards for 180 degrees, so that the flexible display device enters a flight mode. It is understood that different bending modes can correspond to different functions and can also correspond to the same function. In this embodiment, the flexible display device stores a correspondence table between bending modes and functions in advance, and the correspondence table between bending modes and functions stores mapping relationships between the bending modes and the functions, so after the bending mode of the flexible display device is determined, the corresponding relationship table between the bending modes and the functions can be queried to determine the functions to be executed by the flexible display device. Table 1 shows a table of correspondence between bending modes and functions that can be referred to, and in the present embodiment, table 1 mainly determines the bending mode in terms of the bending direction and the bending angle.

Referring to table 2 again, table 2 shows a table of correspondence between bending modes and functions for reference, and in this embodiment, table 2 mainly determines the bending modes according to bending positions.
TABLE 2

Figure PCTCN2018106492-APPB-000003
Tables 1 and 2 merely illustrate that the flexible display device enters another mode from the current mode or enters a certain application program from the main interface.
In some embodiments, the determining, when the current bending manner of the flexible display device matches the target bending manner, a function corresponding to the current bending manner according to a preset correspondence table between bending manners and functions includes: when the current bending mode of the flexible display device is matched with the target bending mode, detecting the currently displayed application program and/or interactive interface, and determining the function corresponding to the current bending mode according to the detected application program and/or interactive interface and a preset corresponding relation table of the bending mode and the function.
It should be understood that there are many applications in the flexible display device, different interactive interfaces of each application can provide different interactive functions, and even multiple function controls exist in one interactive interface to implement different interactive functions, so that the interactive functions of each function control corresponding to each interactive interface in each application are different. Therefore, it is complicated to ensure that the bending manner corresponding to each interactive function in the flexible display device is unique. Therefore, in an example of the embodiment, the correspondence table of the bending manner and the function may be set in units of application programs or in units of the minimum interactive interface, for example, in the case of setting the correspondence table of the bending manner and the function in units of the minimum interactive interface, it is only required to ensure that the bending manners corresponding to different function controls in the interactive interface are different and can be uniquely distinguished. It is also possible for different interactive interfaces to be bent in the same way for implementing different interactive functions therein. For example, in the application program "email box", the bending modes corresponding to the "query" function control in the "sent mail" interface and the "send" function control in the "written mail" interface are both bending the lower left corner of the flexible display device by at least 30 °, but since the flexible display device can determine the interactive interface displayed on the display screen when the current bending mode is detected, it can be determined which interactive function actually corresponds to the bending mode.
And step S14, controlling the flexible display device to execute corresponding functions.
Specifically, after the function corresponding to the bending mode is inquired, the flexible display device is controlled to realize the function. When the fact that a user bends the flexible display device forwards for 90 degrees in a preset time and then restores to a straight state and bends backwards for 180 degrees is detected, the function that the flexible display device is controlled to enter the flight mode correspondingly by the bending mode is judged according to the corresponding relation table of the bending mode and the function, and therefore the flexible display device is controlled to enter the flight mode.
The method for controlling the flexible display device provided in this embodiment includes detecting a current bending mode of the flexible display device, and determining, according to the bending mode, what function a user controls the flexible display device to realize bending in a current scene is for realizing when the current bending mode of the flexible display device matches a target bending mode, and further controlling the flexible display device to realize the function. And realize the interaction through buckling flexible display device, interesting strong is favorable to arousing user's interest in the use of flexible display device, promotes user experience.
Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for controlling a flexible display device according to another embodiment of the present application is disclosed.
Compared with the previous embodiment, before step S11 of fig. 1, the method for controlling a flexible display device further includes the steps of:
step S21, determining whether the flexible display device is in a wake-up state, if yes, executing step S11, and if no, returning to execute step S21.
The wake-up state in this embodiment only requires that the screen of the flexible display device is in a bright screen state, but does not require whether the flexible display device is in an unlocked state or an un-unlocked state, and the screen can be displayed as long as the screen is in the bright screen state, so that there is a use scene where interaction with a user is performed, and further, the situation that the electronic device executes a corresponding function due to bending when the electronic device is not used can be prevented.
Please refer to fig. 4, which is a block diagram illustrating a flexible display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The flexible display device 100 may be, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Portable Media Player (PMP), a navigation device, a wearable device, a smart band, a pedometer, etc., and is not limited herein. The flexible display device 100 includes, but is not limited to, a flexible screen 10, a memory 20, and a processor 30. In particular, the flexible screen 10, the memory 20 and the processor 30 may be coupled by a communication bus 40. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that fig. 3 is only an example of the flexible display apparatus 100 and does not constitute a limitation to the flexible display apparatus 100, and the flexible display apparatus 100 may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 1, or combine some components, or different components, for example, the flexible display apparatus 100 may further include an input and output device, a network access device, and the like.
The flexible screen 10 includes, but is not limited to, Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes (QLEDs), Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) flexible screens, and the like, and is not limited herein.
The memory 20 may be used for storing computer programs and/or modules, and the processor 30 implements various functions of the flexible display device 100 by running or executing the computer programs and/or modules stored in the memory 20 and calling data stored in the memory 20. The memory 20 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store an operating system, application programs (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.) required for a plurality of functions, and the like; the data storage area may store data (such as audio data, a phonebook, etc.) created according to the use of the cellular phone, and the like. In the present embodiment, the memory 20 stores a bending-command mapping table in advance.
In addition, the memory 20 may include a high speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as a hard disk, a memory, a plug-in hard disk, a Smart Media Card (SMC), a Secure Digital (SD) Card, a Flash memory Card (Flash Card), a plurality of magnetic disk storage devices, a Flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage devices.
The Processor 30 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), other general purpose Processor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other Programmable logic device, discrete Gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware component, etc. The general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like, the processor is the control center of the flexible display device 100, and various interfaces and lines are used to connect the various parts of the entire flexible display device 100.
The processor 30 is configured to detect a current bending manner of the flexible display device, and determine whether the current bending manner matches a target bending manner; when the current bending mode matches the target bending mode, the processor 30 further determines a function corresponding to the current bending mode according to a preset correspondence table between the bending modes and the functions, and controls the flexible display device to execute the corresponding function.
In this embodiment, the memory 20 stores a correspondence table of bending modes and functions in advance, and the correspondence table of bending modes and functions stores mapping relationships between the bending modes and the functions, so after the bending mode of the flexible display device is determined, the corresponding relationship table of bending modes and functions can be searched for the function to be executed by the flexible display device. For example, in an example of the present embodiment, a user bends the flexible display device back by 90 degrees to return to a flat state, and then bends the flexible display device forward by 90 degrees, so that the flexible display device enters a power saving mode; the flexible display device is bent forwards for 90 degrees and then returns to a straight state, and then is bent backwards for 180 degrees, so that the flexible display device enters a flight mode. It will be appreciated that different ways of bending may correspond to different functions.
Specifically, a bending parameter of the flexible display device 100 may be detected during the process of bending the flexible display device 100, that is, the bending manner may be determined by the bending parameter. In some embodiments, the bending mode is defined by a combined arrangement of one or more bending actions, the bending actions including the bending parameters. In this embodiment, when the bending manner includes one bending action, the flexible display device needs to return to the flat state after the one bending action occurs, and the bending manner is an effective bending manner. In other embodiments, only the one bending operation may be performed, and the straight state does not need to be restored.
When the bending manner is composed of a plurality of bending actions, the flexible display device needs to be restored to a straight state between two adjacent bending actions. Specifically, one or more of the bending motions of the different bending modes, the number of the bending motions, and the arrangement of the bending motions are different. Further, the bending parameters are one or more, and the different bending actions include at least one different bending parameter.
The bending parameters of the present application may include a bending direction, a bending position, a bending angle, or any combination thereof. In an embodiment, the bending parameter includes a bending direction of the flexible display device, and in particular, the bending direction of the flexible display device 100 includes a forward bending and/or a backward bending. It should be noted that, because the bending parameters only need to represent the bending action of the flexible display device, once the bending of the flexible display device is started, the bending parameters can be acquired, that is, the bending parameters can be acquired in the bending process of the flexible display device. In other embodiments, the bending parameter may also include a bending position of the flexible display device 100. When the bending position is adopted to determine the bending action, different bending positions correspond to different bending modes. Wherein the bend location is determined by a bend line.
In other embodiments, the bending parameters may further include a bending angle, and when the bending angle is used to determine the bending action, different bending angles correspond to different bending modes. If the bending angles of the two bending modes are different, that is, the bending positions of the two bending modes are the same or the bending directions are the same, the two bending modes are also different. It should be noted that, since the bending angle changes during the bending process, when the bending angle is detected, the final angle at the end of bending should be determined as the bending angle of the flexible display device.
Further, the flexible display device 100 further includes a plurality of capacitive sensors 50 and a plurality of angle sensors 60. The capacitive sensor 50 and the angle sensor 60 are attached to the flexible screen 10 and distributed at different positions of the flexible screen 10. The processor 30 identifies the bending position of the flexible display device 100 through the capacitive grating sensor 50 attached to the flexible screen 10, that is, detects the bending position of the flexible display device 100 through the voltage change of the capacitive grating sensor 50 or the path change between the pre-embedded contact points to obtain the bending line. The bending angle of the flexible display device 100 can be identified by the angle sensor 60 disposed on the flexible screen 10.
Specifically, in some embodiments, a plurality of correspondence relationships between the bending manner and the function are defined in the preset correspondence relationship table between the bending manner and the function. The processor 30 determines whether the current bending manner of the flexible display device 100 matches the target bending manner, including: the processor 30 determines whether the current bending manner of the flexible display device 100 matches one of the bending manners defined in the correspondence table; if so, the processor 30 determines that the current bending mode of the flexible display device 100 matches the target bending mode.
In some embodiments, the "when the current bending manner of the flexible display device 100 matches the target bending manner, the processor 30 determines the function corresponding to the current bending manner according to a preset correspondence table between bending manners and functions" includes: when the current bending mode of the flexible display device matches the target bending mode, the processor 30 detects the currently displayed application program and/or interactive interface, and determines the function corresponding to the current bending mode according to the detected application program and/or interactive interface and the preset corresponding relationship table between the bending mode and the function.
Further, in order to avoid the slight bending during the use process from being confused with the bending manner in the embodiments of the present application, in some embodiments, the bending angle of the flexible display device 100 should be smaller than the preset bending angle. Preferably, the preset bending angle may be 170 degrees.
