Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 1, the electronic device includes a housing 10, a flexible screen 20, and a camera module 30, where the housing 10 is provided with a groove 11, the camera module 30 is disposed in the groove 11 and moves in the groove 11, a first end of the flexible screen 20 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the flexible screen 20 has a retracted state accommodated in the housing 10 and an extended state at least partially extending outside the housing 10.

Wherein the housing 10 in the present application may also comprise a reel, and the flexible screen 20 may be retracted or extended with respect to the reel.

The working principle of the application can be seen in the following expressions:

when the shooting angle of the camera module 30 needs to be adjusted, the camera module 30 can be controlled to move in the groove 11, so that the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera module 30 is completed. Therefore, the user does not need to manually bend the flexible screen 20 to adjust the shooting angle of the camera module 30, and the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera module 30 is more convenient. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the flexible screen 20 may also be referred to as a housing screen.

It should be noted that, as an optional mode, the housing 10 may be a cylindrical housing, and the groove 11 may be an annular groove, so that when the camera module 30 moves in the annular groove, the adjustment range of the shooting angle of the camera module 30 may reach 360 degrees, thereby further enhancing the adjustment effect of the shooting angle of the camera module 30. Referring to fig. 1, a1 in fig. 1 can be used to indicate the moving direction of the camera module 30.

Of course, as another optional embodiment, the groove 11 may be a semi-annular groove or an arc-shaped groove, so that, compared with the annular groove, the adjustment range of the shooting angle of the camera module 30 can be reduced, and the processing difficulty and the processing cost of the groove 11 can be reduced.

In addition, with the user in prior art through manual flexible screen 20 of buckling, thereby the mode of the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera module 30 of the realization to electronic equipment compares, the hardness of casing 10 and recess 11 in this embodiment is higher, at the in-process of the shooting angle of adjustment camera module 30, casing 10 and recess 11 non-deformable, thereby when making camera module 30 move in recess 11, its removal orbit that corresponds is fixed orbit, thereby can be more accurate and quick adjustment to corresponding position.

It should be noted that the driving member may be provided with a control switch, and when a first input to the control switch is received, the camera module 30 may be driven to move in the groove 11, and meanwhile, when a preset condition is met, the driving of the camera module 30 in the groove 11 may be stopped. The preset conditions may include: the driving time length satisfies any one of the preset time length, the moving distance of the camera module 30 satisfies the preset distance (the preset distance can be calculated according to the driving speed and the driving time length of the driving member to the camera module 30), and the second input to the control switch is received.

In addition, in order to enable the camera module 30 to better move in the groove 11, a sliding rail may be embedded in the groove 11, and the camera module 30 may be disposed on the sliding rail and move along the sliding rail, so that the resistance of the camera module 30 when moving along the groove 11 is small.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the casing 10 may include an inner frame 12 and an outer frame 13, the outer frame 13 has a hollow structure, the inner frame 12 may be disposed in a hollow area of the outer frame 13, and an accommodating space is formed between the inner frame 12 and an inner wall of the outer frame 13, it can be understood that the groove may occupy a part of the accommodating space, and when the flexible screen 20 has a contracted state accommodated in the casing 10, the flexible screen 20 may be accommodated in the accommodating space, so that the volume of the whole electronic device may be reduced, and the electronic device may be conveniently carried.

In addition, when at least a part of the screen of the flexible screen 20 is in the unfolded state outside the housing 10, the content can be played on the flexible screen 20, so that the playing effect of the electronic device is better. While at least part of the screen of the flexible screen 20 is in the unfolded state outside the housing 10, it can also be understood that: at least part of the flexible screen 20 is unfolded in an unfolded state outside the housing 10.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic Device may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or the like.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a camera module control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a housing 10, a flexible screen 20, and a camera module 30, a groove 11 is formed in the housing 10, the camera module 30 is disposed in the groove 11 and moves in the groove 11, a first end of the flexible screen 20 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, the flexible screen 20 has a retracted state accommodated in the housing 10, and an extended state at least partially extending outside the housing 10, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:

step 401, receiving a first input under the condition that the camera module is started, wherein the first input is used for controlling the flexible screen to be folded.

Step 402, controlling the camera module to move in the groove under the condition that the folding angle of the flexible screen is larger than a preset threshold value.

Therein, the flexible screen may be folded into two regions, wherein one region may be referred to as a first region and the other region may be referred to as a second region. That is to say: the folding angle of the flexible screen may refer to a folding angle between the first region and the second region.

And the specific distribution of the first region and the second region can be seen in the following expression: for example: referring to fig. 1, the first region may include a portion of the display region 22 of the flexible screen, and the second region may include another portion of the display region 22 of the flexible screen and a non-display region 21, the non-display region 21 may be an edge region of the flexible screen 20 and may be made of an insulating material, so that a user may control the flexible screen 20 to expand or compress by pinching the non-display region 21, and the non-display region 21 may also protect the display region 22 of the flexible screen 20.

In addition, the second region may include only the non-display region 21, and it should be noted that the non-display region 21 may be bent along a connection point with the display region 22, that is: the non-display area 21 and the display area 22 may have an angle therebetween.

It should be noted that, when the folding angle of the second area relative to the first area is greater than the preset threshold (that is, the folding angle of the flexible screen is greater than the preset threshold), it is indicated that the shooting angle of the camera module 30 is relatively poor at this time, and the shooting angle of the camera module 30 needs to be adjusted at this time, so that the camera module 30 can be controlled to move in the groove 11. The specific value of the preset threshold is not limited herein, and the preset threshold may be a default value of the system, and of course, the preset threshold may also be a numerical value determined according to the input of the user.

In addition, the specific manner of controlling the camera module 30 to move in the groove 11 can be referred to the corresponding expressions in the above embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

In this application embodiment, can control camera module 30 and remove in recess 11 to accomplish the adjustment to the shooting angle of camera module 30, need not the manual flexible screen 20 of buckling of user and adjust the shooting angle of camera module 30, and then make the adjustment to the shooting angle of camera module 30 more convenient.

As an alternative embodiment, the moving speed of the camera module is related to the folding angle of the flexible screen. Like this, the translation rate of adjustable camera module promptly through the folding angle of flexible screen to make the control to the translation rate of camera module more convenient.

For example, when the camera module 30 moves in the groove 11, the camera module may move at a constant speed, and the calculation formula of the corresponding speed may be: where v is the moving speed of the camera module 30, i is a constant, and a is the numerical value of the folding angle of the second region with respect to the first region, which may also be referred to as the folding angle of the flexible panel.

As an alternative embodiment, the moving direction of the camera module is associated with the folding direction of the flexible screen. Like this, the moving direction of camera module can be adjusted through the folding direction of flexible screen to make the control to the moving direction of camera module more convenient.

For example: referring to fig. 5 and 6, when the flexible screen is bent toward the first direction, the movement direction of the camera module 30 may be determined to be a clockwise direction (i.e., a direction a2 shown in fig. 5), and when the flexible screen is bent toward the second direction, the movement direction of the camera module 30 may be determined to be a counterclockwise direction (i.e., a direction A3 shown in fig. 6).

Wherein the first direction and the second direction may be different directions, for example: the first direction and the second direction may be opposite directions.

For example: referring to fig. 5 and 6, where the position shown in B is one side of the flexible screen 20 and the user may be located on that side, and the position shown in C may be the other side of the flexible screen 20, and the first direction may be the side facing B and the second direction may be the side facing C.

It should be noted that the folding angle of the flexible screen can also be understood as: the included angle shown at D1 in fig. 5 or D2 in fig. 6.

As an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

controlling the flexible screen to display a preview interface;

and controlling the preview interface to move on the flexible screen according to the moving distance of the camera module in the groove, wherein the moving distance of the preview interface on the flexible screen corresponds to the moving distance.

Here, referring to fig. 7, the preview interface 23 may be displayed only in a partial area of the flexible screen 20, so that the photographing preview interface 23 may move on the flexible screen 20. For example: the shooting preview interface 23 can be firstly displayed in the first display area, at this time, the shooting preview interface 23 is not displayed in the second display area, after the camera module 30 moves in the groove 11, the preview interface 23 can move from the first display area to the second display area for displaying, and the moving distance of the shooting preview interface 23 between the first display area and the second display area can correspond to the moving distance of the camera module 30 in the groove 11, for example: the above-mentioned moving distance and moving distance may be in a proportional relationship, and the above-mentioned proportional relationship between the moving distance and moving distance may be 1: 2.

Of course, the moving direction of the shooting preview interface 23 may also correspond to the moving direction of the camera module 30, for example: the groove 11 is an annular groove, and when the camera module 30 moves clockwise in the annular groove, the moving direction of the preview interface 11 may be a direction away from the housing 10; when the camera module 30 moves in the annular groove in the counterclockwise direction, the moving direction of the shooting preview interface 23 may be a direction close to the housing 10.

The shooting preview interface 23 can be displayed in the display area 22 of the flexible screen 20, and the display content in the shooting preview interface 23 can display the content acquired by the camera module 30, it should be noted that after the camera module 30 moves along the groove 11, the display content in the shooting preview interface 23 also changes correspondingly.

For example: when the camera module 30 is located at the first position, the displayed content in the preview interface 23 can be an image of a first person, and at this time, the electronic device wants to acquire an image of a second person, the camera module 30 can be controlled to move to the second position along the groove 11, and the displayed content in the preview interface 23 can be an image of the second person during shooting.

In the embodiment of the application, after the position of the camera module 30 is moved, the shooting angle of the camera module 30 is adjusted, and meanwhile, the display position of the shooting preview interface 23 on the flexible screen 20 can be controlled to be adjusted, so that the display effect of the shooting preview interface 23 on the flexible screen 20 is further enhanced.

As an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

receiving a second input under the condition that a shooting preview interface is displayed, wherein the second input is used for controlling the flexible screen to be folded;

and responding to the second input, and adjusting the focal distance at the target position in the shooting preview interface.

Therefore, the focal length of the target position can be adjusted through the folding angle of the flexible screen, so that the focal length can be adjusted more conveniently, and the adjustment result of the focal length is more accurate.

For example: the focal length may be calculated by a calculation formula, which may be: and m-i-a, wherein m may represent the focal length after adjustment, i represents a constant, and a represents the folding angle of the flexible screen.

In addition, the focal length and the folding angle can be in a direct proportional relationship, i.e., the larger the folding angle, the larger the focal length.

As an optional implementation manner, before adjusting the focal distance at the target position in the shooting preview interface, the method further includes:

receiving a third input, wherein the third input is used for controlling the flexible screen to be folded;

in response to the third input, in a case where the folded position of the flexible screen is located in a display area of the photographing preview interface, determining a first position in the display area as the target position.

Therefore, the determination result of the target position can be more accurate through the embodiment, and the determination mode of the target position is more convenient.

It should be noted that, on the flexible screen, the shooting preview interface may be displayed in only a partial area, rather than in the entire area.

For example, referring to fig. 8, when the folded position of the flexible screen is located in the display area of the shooting preview interface 23, any point in the display area of the shooting preview interface 23 may be taken as a target position. For example, the position of the object in the preview interface taken along the folding line 24 may be set as the target position, that is, the image of the person a is included on the folding line 24, and then the person a is set as the target position.

Specifically, the display area of the preview interface 23 may be displayed along the folding line 24, and since other operation controls are displayed in the preview interface 23 in addition to the preview image (the area where the content is displayed), only the midpoint of the line segment of the folding line 24 in the preview image area may be determined as the target position, that is, the midpoint c of the ab line segment may be determined as the target position.

It should be noted that, as an alternative embodiment, when the duration of the folding angle being the target angle (exceeding the preset angle) is greater than the preset duration, the camera module 30 is controlled to capture an image. Therefore, the camera module 30 can be controlled to shoot the image without touching the shooting control by the user, so that the operation of the user is simplified, and meanwhile, the intelligent degree of shooting the image by the camera module 30 is further enhanced.

In addition, it should be noted that the second input in the above embodiments may also be used to control the flexible screen to move relative to the housing. In this way, the focal length at the target position can be adjusted according to the moving distance of the flexible screen relative to the housing.

For example: as an optional implementation, the focal length at the target position in the shooting preview interface is adjusted according to the moving distance of the flexible screen relative to the shell.

Wherein, there may be a correspondence between the moving distance and the focal length of the flexible screen, for example: the distance of movement and the focal length of the flexible screen may be in a direct or inverse relationship. Such as: the proportional relationship between the moving distance and the focal length of the flexible screen can be 1:1 or 1:2, and the specific numerical value is not limited herein.

In addition, the adjustment mode of the focal length of the flexible screen can be determined according to the moving direction of the flexible screen, for example: as an alternative embodiment, when the second end of the flexible screen moves away from the housing, the focal length of the target location may be adjusted; when the second end of the flexible screen moves towards the direction close to the shell, the focus of the target position can be adjusted to be smaller. As another alternative, when the second end of the flexible screen moves away from the housing, the focal length of the target position may be adjusted smaller; when the second end of the flexible screen moves towards the direction close to the shell, the focus of the target position can be adjusted.

It should be noted that, when the focal length of the target position is adjusted, the adjustment may be performed within a preset adjustment range, that is, the adjusted focal length must be located within the preset adjustment range, and when the adjusted focal length exceeds the preset adjustment range, the adjustment of the focal length of the target position needs to be stopped, and accordingly, the movement of the flexible screen also stops. For example: the minimum value of the preset adjustment range may be 1 time, that is, the minimum adjustment value of the focal length of the target position may be 1 time.

In addition, when the focal length of the content in the user viewing preview interface meets the requirements of the user, the adjustment process of the focal length of the target position can be manually controlled and stopped.

As an optional implementation, the adjusting the focal length at the target position in the shooting preview interface according to the moving distance of the flexible screen relative to the housing includes:

under the condition that the flexible screen moves from a first position to a second position, the focal length of the target position is increased according to a first moving distance between the first position and the second position;

when the flexible screen moves from the second position to the first position, the focal length of the target position is adjusted to be smaller according to a second moving distance between the second position and the first position;

wherein the first position is between the housing and the second position.

It should be noted that the focal length may be calculated by substituting the first moving distance or the second moving distance into a formula, where m is i w f, where m is the adjusted focal length, i is a constant, w is the first moving distance or the second moving distance, and f is a numerical value of the acting force received by the flexible screen.

In the embodiment of the application, the focal length of the target position is adjusted through the first moving distance or the second moving distance, so that the adjusting mode is more diversified, and the adjusting result is more accurate.

As an optional embodiment, in a case that the line of sight of the user is not projected onto the flexible screen, the target position is a geometric center position of the shooting preview interface; or, in the case that the line of sight of the user is projected onto the flexible screen, the target position is a projection position of the line of sight of the user on the flexible screen.

Therefore, when the fact that the gaze of the user is projected onto the flexible screen is detected, the fact that the user is interested in the display content of the flexible screen at the moment is shown, the focal length of the area can be adjusted at the moment, and therefore the display effect of the flexible screen is enhanced; when the position of the user's gaze projection is not detected, the focal length of the geometric center position of the photographing preview interface can be directly adjusted.

It should be noted that, whether the gaze of the user is projected onto the flexible screen is detected, the gaze projection position of the user may be determined by shooting the image of the user and according to the content mapped on the eyeball of the user in the shot image, or directly according to the orientation of the face of the user and the orientation of the eyeball in the shot image, and the specific manner is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the application, through
