Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a control method of an electronic device 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 100 includes a flexible display 81 and a camera 82 capable of rotating relative to the flexible display 81, and the flexible display 81 can be deformed to be in different deformation states. The control method comprises the following steps:

s10: when the camera 82 is turned on, the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81 is obtained.

S20: it is determined whether the photographing direction of the camera 82 coincides with the current deformation state of the flexible display 81.

S30: and when the shooting direction of the camera 82 does not accord with the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81, controlling the camera 82 to rotate to the consistent direction.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an electronic device 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 100 includes a flexible display 81 and a camera 82 capable of rotating relative to the flexible display 81, and the flexible display 81 can be deformed to be in different deformation states. Referring to fig. 4, the electronic device 100 further includes a state obtaining module 10, a direction determining module 20, and a control module 30. S10 may be implemented by the state obtaining module 10, S20 may be implemented by the direction determining module 20, and S30 may be implemented by the control module 30. That is, the state acquiring module 10 is configured to acquire the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 when the camera 82 is turned on. The direction determination module 20 can be used to determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 coincides with the current deformation state of the flexible display 81. The control module 30 can be used to control the camera 82 to rotate to a corresponding direction when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is not in accordance with the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81.

Referring to fig. 5, an electronic device 100 is provided in the present embodiment. The electronic device 100 includes a processor 83, a flexible display 81, and a camera 82 capable of rotating relative to the flexible display 81, where the flexible display 81 can be deformed to be in different deformation states. S10, S20, and S30 may be implemented by the processor 83. That is, the processor 83 is configured to obtain the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81 when the camera 82 is turned on, determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 matches the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81, and control the camera 82 to rotate to a matching direction when the shooting direction of the camera 82 does not match the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81.

The electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a wearable smart device (e.g., a bracelet, a head-mounted display, etc.), and the like. In the present embodiment, the electronic device 100 is described as an example of a mobile phone.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, specifically, the flexible display 81 may be a square structure, and the flexible display 81 includes a front surface, a back surface, and a side surface, where the front surface is opposite to the back surface, and the side surface connects the front surface and the back surface. The front side of the flexible display 81 may be used for displaying pictures. The camera 82 is disposed on a side of the flexible display 81. In one example, the camera 82 is disposed convexly outside the flexible display 81. In another example, the camera 82 may be disposed outside the flexible display 81 in a protruding manner during operation and housed in the housing of the electronic device 100 during non-operation. In this embodiment, the camera 82 is protruded from the top surface of the flexible display 81 and can rotate around a rotating shaft 821 that is perpendicular to the top surface and passes through the center of the camera 82.

When the user turns on the camera function of the electronic device 100 to take a picture, the flexible display 81 may be in different deformation states. Wherein the deformation state comprises a bending state, a flattening state, a folding deformation state and an unfolding deformation state. The state acquisition module 10 (processor 83) can acquire the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 through a gyro sensor (angular velocity sensor) provided in the electronic device 100.

When the flexible display screen 81 is in the folded and deformed state, display regions are formed on two opposite sides of the electronic device 100, that is, one display region of the flexible display screen 81 in the flattened and deformed state is changed into two display regions in the folded and deformed state, where the display regions include the first display region 84 and the second display region 85, and the first display region 84 and the second display region 85 can independently display or cooperatively display content. The camera 82 is arranged to protrude at the side of one of the display areas, i.e. the camera 82 may be arranged to protrude at the side of the first display area 84 or at the side of the second display area 85.

The flexible display screen 81 is in different deformation states, and the shooting directions of the camera 82 are different. The electronic device 100 may default the shooting direction corresponding to the camera 82 in different deformation states of the flexible display screen 81 when the flexible display screen 81 is in a factory setting, for example, in this embodiment, when the flexible display screen 81 is in a bending deformation state or a folding deformation state, the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the forward shooting mode; the shooting direction in which the camera 82 is in the post-shooting mode when the flexible display 81 is in the expanded deformed state is described as an example. In the forward shooting mode, the shooting direction of the camera 82 is toward the user; in the post-shooting mode, the shooting direction of the camera 82 is away from the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the flexible display 81 may also be set to the shooting direction of the back shooting mode when in the bending deformation state or the folding deformation state; when the flexible display 81 is in the expanded and deformed state, the camera is set to the shooting direction of the forward shooting mode.

In addition, the user can also adjust the shooting modes (directions) corresponding to the cameras 82 of the flexible display screen 81 in different deformation states according to personal preferences; or, after the user turns on the camera 82, the user can reselect the shooting mode according to the user's needs without being limited by the deformation state of the flexible display 81.

The direction determination module 20 (processor 83) can determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 coincides with the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 using the encoder. Wherein the encoder can be used to detect the rotation angle of the camera 82 relative to the flexible display 81.

The control module 30 (processor 83) can be used to control the camera 82 to rotate to a corresponding direction when the shooting direction of the camera 82 does not correspond to the current deformation state of the flexible display 81. For example, when the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 is the bending deformation state or the folding deformation state, and the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the back shooting mode, the control module 30 (the processor 83) can control the camera 82 to rotate to the shooting direction in the front shooting mode according to the current states of the camera 82 and the flexible display 81. Or when the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 is the expansion deformation state and the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the forward shooting mode, the control module 30 (the processor 83) can control the camera 82 to rotate to the shooting direction in the backward shooting mode according to the current states of the camera 82 and the flexible display 81.

After the camera 82 is rotated to the corresponding direction, the user can perform the next photographing operation to shoot the subject. In this way, the electronic device 100 and the control method thereof according to the embodiment of the present application control the camera 82 to rotate according to the current deformation state of the flexible display 81 to capture a subject. Because the camera 82 can rotate relative to the flexible display screen 81, the shooting requirements of the electronic device 100 on different directions are met, and the function of shooting the electronic device 100 in the front and back direction is realized through the rotatable camera 82, so that the number of the cameras 82 is reduced, and the cost of the electronic device 100 is reduced.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

s40: when the flexible display screen 81 is switched from one deformation state to another deformation state, the camera 82 is controlled to rotate to change the shooting direction.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, S40 may be implemented by the status obtaining module 10 and the control module 30. That is, when the state acquiring module 10 acquires that the flexible display 81 is switched from one deformation state to another deformation state, the control module 30 controls the camera 82 to rotate to change the shooting direction.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, S40 may be implemented by processor 83. That is, the processor 83 may be configured to control the camera 82 to rotate to change the shooting direction when the flexible display 81 is switched from one deformation state to another deformation state.

The state obtaining module 10 (processor 83) can further obtain, by using a gyroscope sensor, that the flexible display screen 81 is changed from the current deformation state to another deformation state to update the current deformation state, and when the state obtaining module 10 (processor 83) obtains, by using the gyroscope sensor, that the deformation state of the flexible display screen 81 is switched (for example, the flexible display screen 81 is changed from a bending state to a flattening state, or the flexible display screen 81 is changed from the flattening state to the bending state), and the direction determining module 20 (processor 83) determines that the shooting direction of the camera 82 does not conform to the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81, the control module 30 (processor 83) controls the camera 82 to rotate, so that the shooting direction of the camera 82 conforms to the switched deformation state. Thus, when the user uses the electronic device 100 to shoot, the user can change the posture of holding the electronic device 100 (the flexible display screen 81) according to the actual situation, and when the user bends or folds or flattens the electronic device 100 (the flexible display screen 81), the camera 82 correspondingly rotates to conform to the deformation state of the electronic device 100 (the flexible display screen 81), so that the intelligent switching of the electronic device 100 is facilitated, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that the precondition for the state obtaining module 10 (processor 83) to obtain the switching of the deformation state of the flexible display 81 by using the gyroscope sensor is that the camera 82 is in the on state.

Referring to fig. 1 and 7, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

s50: after the flexible display screen 81 is in the expanded deformation state, whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 deviates from the user is determined.

S60: the camera 82 is controlled to rotate to a direction away from the user when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is a direction not away from the user.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, S50 may be implemented by the state obtaining module 10 and the direction determining module 20, and S60 may be implemented by the control module 30. That is, after the state acquiring module 10 acquires that the flexible display 81 is in the expanded deformation state, the direction determining module 20 can determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is away from the user, and the control module 30 controls the camera 82 to rotate to the direction away from the user when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is not away from the user.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, S50 and S60 may be implemented by the processor 83. That is, the processor 83 is configured to determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is away from the user after the flexible display 81 is in the expanded deformation state, and control the camera 82 to rotate to a direction away from the user when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is a direction away from the user.

Specifically, after the state acquiring module 10 (processor 83) acquires that the flexible display screen 81 is in the expanded deformation state by using the gyroscope sensor, the direction determining module 20 (processor 83) can determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 deviates from the user by using the rotation angle of the camera 82 relative to the flexible display screen 81 detected by the encoder, or the direction determining module 20 (processor 83) can determine whether the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the back shooting mode by using the rotation angle of the camera 82 relative to the flexible display screen 81 detected by the encoder, and the control module 30 (processor 83) controls the camera 82 to rotate to the shooting direction of the back shooting mode when the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the front shooting mode. Thus, the function of shooting back and forth of the electronic device 100 is realized through the rotatable camera 82, which is beneficial to reducing the number of the cameras 82 and reducing the cost of the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 1 and 8, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

s70: after the flexible display 81 is in the folded deformation state, it is determined whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is toward the user.

S80: when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is a direction not facing the user, the camera 82 is controlled to rotate to a direction facing the user.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, S70 may be implemented by the state obtaining module 10 and the direction determining module 20, and S80 may be implemented by the control module 30. That is, after the state acquiring module 10 acquires that the flexible display 81 is in the folded deformation state, the direction determining module 20 can determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is towards the user, and the control module 30 controls the camera 82 to rotate to the direction towards the user when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is not towards the user.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, S50 and S60 may be implemented by the processor 83. That is, the processor 83 is configured to determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is toward the user after the flexible display 81 is in the folded deformation state, and control the camera 82 to rotate to the direction toward the user when the shooting direction of the camera 82 is not the direction toward the user.

Specifically, after the state acquiring module 10 (processor 83) acquires that the flexible display 81 is in the folded deformation state by using the gyroscope sensor, the direction determining module 20 (processor 83) can determine whether the shooting direction of the camera 82 is towards the user by using the rotation angle of the camera 82 relative to the flexible display 81 detected by the encoder, or the direction determining module 20 (processor 83) can determine whether the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the front shooting mode by using the rotation angle of the camera 82 relative to the flexible display 81 detected by the encoder, and the control module 30 (processor 83) controls the camera 82 to rotate to the shooting direction of the front shooting mode when the camera 82 is in the shooting direction of the rear shooting mode. Thus, the function of shooting back and forth of the electronic device 100 is realized through the rotatable camera 82, which is beneficial to reducing the number of the cameras 82 and reducing the cost of the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the display regions include a first display region 84 and a second display region 85, the first display region 84 and the second display region 85 are located on opposite sides of the electronic device 100, and referring to fig. 9, the control method further includes:

s90: when the electronic apparatus 100 receives an input operation by the user, the first display region 84 is determined to be oriented toward the user, and the second display region 85 is determined to be oriented away from the user.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, S90 may be implemented by control module 30. That is, when the electronic device 100 receives an input operation from the user, the control module 30 determines that the first display area 84 faces the user and determines that the second display area 85 faces away from the user.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, S90 may be implemented by processor 83. That is, the processor 83 may be configured to determine that the first display area 84 faces the user and determine that the second display area 85 faces away from the user when the electronic device 100 receives an input operation from the user.

The input operation by the user may be a touch operation in which the user touches the flexible display 81, a side screen operation at the time of folding, or an operation in which the user touches a sensor provided on the side of the electronic device 100, or an operation in which the user presses a key provided on the electronic device 100. The control module 30 (processor 83) can determine that one of the display areas faces the user when the electronic device 100 receives the input operation by the user. For example, the first display area 84 may be determined to be facing the user and the second display area 85 may be determined to be facing away from the user. It should be noted that, the term that the first display region 84 faces the user does not actually mean that the first display region 84 faces the user, but defines one of the display regions as the first display region 84, and the first display region 84 is a display region commonly used by the user compared with the other display region, wherein the area of the first display region 84 may be larger than that of the second display region 85.

Of course, in other embodiments, the control module 30 (the processor 83) can also determine that the display area receiving the touch operation is toward the user and the other display area is away from the user when the electronic device 100 receives the touch operation of the user touching the flexible display screen 81.

Referring to fig. 2 and 10, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

s100: when the electronic apparatus 100 receives an input operation by the user, the first display region 84 is lit and the second display region 85 is turned off.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, S100 may be implemented by the control module 30. That is, when the electronic device 100 receives an input operation by the user, the control module 30 controls the first display area 84 to be turned on and the second display area 85 to be turned off.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, S100 may be implemented by the processor 83. That is, the processor 83 is configured to control the first display area 84 to be turned on and the second display area 85 to be turned off when the electronic device 100 receives an input operation from a user.

Specifically, the control module 30 (processor 83) can control the first display region 84 facing the user to be lit, thereby enabling the user to view the display content or perform other operations. Since the second display region 85 is opposite to the user, the user cannot view the display content of the second display region 85, and the control module 30 (the processor 83) can also control the brightness of the second display region 85 to be reduced or extinguished, so that the power consumption of the flexible display screen 81 can be reduced, and the endurance of the electronic device 100 can be enhanced. In addition, when the control module 30 (the processor 83) controls the second display area 85 to be turned off, the user can be prevented from accidentally touching the second display area 85 when holding the electronic device 100 (the flexible display 81).

Referring to fig. 11, the present embodiment further provides a computer device 200. The computer device 200 may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, etc. The computer device 200 includes a memory 87, an internal memory 88, and a processor 83 connected by a system bus 86. The memory 87 has stored therein computer readable instructions. Internal memory 88 provides an environment for the execution of computer readable instructions in memory 87. The processor 83 may be used to provide computing and control capabilities to support the operation of the overall computer device. The processor 83 can execute the instructions of the memory 87, and the processor 83 executes the control method of the electronic device 100 according to any of the above embodiments, for example, with reference to fig. 1, the execution of S10: when the camera 82 is turned on, the current deformation state of the flexible display screen 81 is obtained. S20: it is determined whether the photographing direction of the camera 82 coincides with the current deformation state of the flexible display 81.
