With the rapid development of electronic devices (such as mobile terminals), there are more and more foldable electronic devices provided with flexible display screens, where such electronic devices are folded by a hinge connector, and there are multiple use states of such electronic devices, such as single-screen use, double-screen use, etc., and in different use states, the electronic devices need to control different areas of the flexible display screen. In order to better realize control over the electronic device, accurate detection of the folding state of the electronic device is required.
In the related art, a hall device is generally disposed in one housing of an electronic device, and a magnet is disposed in the other housing, so that the folding state of the electronic device is detected through the coupling of the hall device and the magnet. However, this method requires additional hall devices and magnets on the electronic device, resulting in crowded space within the electronic device, adverse to the arrangement of other components such as a circuit board, and increased cost due to the hall devices.
Therefore, the inventor proposes an electronic device and a control method thereof in the embodiment of the application. Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, the present embodiment provides an electronic device 10, including a housing assembly 20, a flexible display screen 30, a first near field communication device, a first near field communication tag, and a controller 60, wherein the flexible display screen 30, the first near field communication device, and the first near field communication tag are all disposed on the housing assembly 20, and the controller 60 is disposed on the housing assembly 20 and electrically connected to the first near field communication device, the first near field communication tag, and the flexible display screen 30.
Referring to fig. 1, the housing assembly 20 includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, and a rotation shaft connecting member connected between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, wherein the first housing 100 is relatively folded or unfolded with respect to the second housing 200 by the rotation shaft connecting member, and folding means that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are stacked in an overlapped posture. During the relative folding of the first and second housings 100 and 200, the hinge connection may be bent, and in some embodiments, the first and second housings 100 and 200 may be axisymmetric along the hinge connection, i.e., the first and second housings 100 and 200 may completely overlap when the first and second housings 100 and 200 are in the folded state. In other embodiments, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may not completely overlap in the folded state, which is not limited herein.
Wherein the first case 100 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 facing away from the first side 101, wherein the first side 101 and the second side 102 are laminated in a thickness direction of the first case 100. In some embodiments, the first housing 100 may include a middle frame and a rear cover, where the rear cover is mounted on the middle frame, and the rear cover may be assembled with the middle frame by an adhesive or a clamping, and in some embodiments, the rear cover may be made of glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, or the like.
The second case 200 has a third side 201 and a fourth side 202 facing away from the third side 201, wherein the third side 201 and the fourth side 202 are laminated in the thickness direction of the second case 200. In some embodiments, the second housing 200 may also be formed of a middle frame and a rear cover, where the rear cover is mounted on the middle frame, and the rear cover may be assembled with the middle frame by bonding or clamping, and in some embodiments, the rear cover may be made of glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, etc.
When the first and second housings 100, 200 are in the flattened state, the first side 101 may be flush with the third side 201 and the second side 102 may be flush with the fourth side 202.
Referring to fig. 1, the flexible display 30 is continuously disposed on the housing assembly 20, i.e. the first housing 100, the rotating shaft connecting member and the second housing 200. And the flexible display screen 30 is located on the first side 101 and the third side 201. In one embodiment, the flexible display 30 forms at least a portion of the exterior surface of the electronic device 10 when the first housing 100 is folded against the second housing 200. At this time, the electronic device 10 is a folding electronic device, and the external surface of the electronic device 10 refers to the surface of the electronic device 10 facing the user and exposed. In another embodiment, when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are folded relatively, the flexible display 30 is located on the inner side, and the electronic device 10 is an in-folded electronic device.
Referring to fig. 2, the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51 may be coupled to each other for detecting a folded state of the electronic device 10, where the folded state refers to: the relative positional relationship between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, i.e., the angular relationship between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, e.g., whether the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in a relatively folded state or a relatively unfolded state.
Near field communication (Near Field Communication, NFC) is a short-range high-frequency radio communication technology that performs data transmission when a near field communication device and a near field communication tag are close to each other, so as to implement coupling interaction. Wherein only one of the near field communication device and the near field communication tag may be a master device and the other one may be a slave device, the communication being initiated by the master device. The near field communication device and the near field communication tag may both be active devices, and may both actively initiate communication, which is not limited herein.
The first near field communication device 51 is disposed on the first housing 100, the first near field communication tag 52 is disposed on the second housing 200, and when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are folded, the first near field communication device 51 can be coupled with the first near field communication tag 52. That is, when the first housing 100 overlaps the second housing 200, the first near field communication device 51 may read the information in the first near field communication tag 52, so as to achieve coupling between the two.
In some embodiments, the first near field communication device 51 may be disposed on the second side 102 of the first housing 100, and the first near field communication tag 52 may be disposed on the fourth side 202 of the second housing 200, so that the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 may maintain a larger distance from the flexible display screen 30 as much as possible, avoiding crosstalk with the screen. And when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are folded relatively, the distance between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 is smaller, and the coupling signal generated between the two is more stable. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first near field communication device 51 may be disposed on the first side 101, and the first near field communication tag 52 may be disposed on the third side 201.
In some embodiments, the first near field communication device 51 may be disposed at any position of the first housing 100, and correspondingly, the first near field communication tag 52 is disposed at a position of the second housing 200 corresponding to the first housing 100, so that the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51 can be coupled during rotation of the first housing 100 relative to the second housing 200. For example: the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 may be arranged in an axisymmetric form along the rotational axis of the rotational connection. The advantages of this arrangement are that: when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are folded, the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 may overlap each other, so that the coupling signal generated by the first near field communication device 51 is more stable and accurate.
As the user may have a situation of misfolding during use, for example: when the user rotates the first housing 100 by a certain angle (for example, less than or equal to 10 °) relative to the second housing 200 by mistake while using the electronic device 10, at this time, the first near field communication device 51 may already generate a weak coupling signal with the first near field communication tag 52, so that the electronic device 10 is misjudged to be in the folded state. For this reason, the possibility of such misjudgment can be reduced by extending the path distance of the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 in the process of transition from the unfolded state to the folded state. For example, the distance between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 and the spindle connection is increased. In some embodiments, the distance between the first near field communication device 51 and the rotation axis connection is equal to or greater than 1/2 of the width of the first housing 100, and likewise, the distance between the first near field communication tag 52 and the rotation axis connection is equal to or greater than 1/2 of the width of the second housing 200. Wherein the distance between the first near field communication device 51 and the rotation axis connection means a distance along the width direction of the first housing 100. The distance between the first near field communication tag 52 and the hinge connector means a distance along the width direction of the second housing 200. The width direction of the first housing 100 and the width direction of the second housing 200 each refer to a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotation connector.
Since a large-sized component such as a battery is also required to be provided in the electronic device 10, the battery is typically provided at the bottom of the first housing 100 or the bottom of the second housing 200. Thus, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52, the first near field communication device 51 is arranged adjacent to the top of the first housing 100 and the corresponding first near field communication tag 52 is arranged adjacent to the top of the second housing 200. Where the top part refers to an end or a portion of the first housing 100 or the second housing 200 near a receiver (earpiece) of the electronic device, the bottom part refers to an end or a portion of the first housing 100 or the second housing 200 far from the receiver, and the bottom part and the top part are located at opposite positions.
After such arrangement, during the rotation of the first housing 100 relative to the second housing 200, the relative angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 rotates from the unfolded state (180 °) to the folded state (0 °), even if the user performs the misfolding operation, the coupling signal is not easily generated between the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51 due to the extended distance between the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51, so as to avoid misjudgment of the folded state.
During the rotation of the first and second housings 100 and 200 from being unfolded to being folded, the coupling signal between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 is gradually increased until the coupling signal between the two reaches a maximum. Likewise, the coupling signal between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 gradually decreases during the rotation of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 from being folded to being unfolded from each other until the two are not coupled. The folded state between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is thus currently determined by the coupling between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52.
The controller 60 is electrically connected to the flexible display screen 30 and the first near field communication device 51, and the controller 60 is installed inside the housing assembly 20, it is understood that the controller 60 may be installed inside the first housing 100 or the second housing 200. The controller 60 may be electrically connected to the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52, and the controller 60 may control the electronic device 10 to perform a predetermined operation according to a folded state of the electronic device 10, where the predetermined operation may be, for example, lighting a part or all of an area of the flexible display screen 30, or opening an application program in the electronic device, such as a camera. And are not limited herein.
Specifically, the electronic device 10 may further include a memory (not shown) in which a mapping relationship between a relative angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 and a coupling signal strength between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 is stored, and the controller 60 may invoke the mapping relationship stored in the memory and determine the folding state between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 according to the current coupling signal strength between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52.
To improve the accuracy of judgment of the folded state between the first casing 100 and the second casing 200. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 10 further includes a second near field communication device 53 and a second near field communication tag 54, where the second near field communication device 53 is disposed in the second housing 200 and spaced apart from the first near field communication tag 52, and the second near field communication tag 54 is disposed in the first housing 100 and spaced apart from the first near field communication device 51, and the second near field communication device 53 and the second near field communication tag 54 are coupled to each other when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are folded relatively. In order to prevent a situation in which a mis-coupling occurs between the first near field communication device 51 and the second near field communication device 53, the first near field communication device 51 and the second near field communication device 53 may be disposed to be staggered from each other. Illustratively, the first near field communication device 51 is disposed adjacent to a top of the first housing 100 and the second near field communication device 53 is disposed adjacent to a bottom of the second housing 200.
The controller 60 is configured to determine the folded state of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 through the coupling between the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 and the coupling between the second near field communication device 53 and the second near field communication tag 54, and when the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 are coupled, and the second near field communication device 53 and the second near field communication tag 54 are also coupled to each other, it is possible to accurately determine that the current electronic device 10 is in the folded state. This arrangement allows for a more accurate determination of the folded state of the electronic device 10.
The working principle of the electronic device 10 provided in this embodiment is: when the first housing 100 is folded relative to the second housing 200, the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51 generate the maximum coupling, the first near field communication device 51 sends a coupling signal to the controller 60, the controller 60 processes the coupling signal to determine that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the folded state, and similarly, when the first near field communication tag 52 and the first near field communication device 51 do not generate the coupling, the controller may determine that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the mutually unfolded state. By determining whether the electronic device 10 is in a folded state, the controller 60 may further control the flexible display 30 to perform other operations, such as turning up or down the brightness, adjusting the volume, etc.
When the electronic device 10 fails and cannot be started, it is very disadvantageous to repair and troubleshoot the electronic device 10, and at this time, the external maintenance device cannot read the information in the electronic device 10.
In addition to the coupling and communication with the first near field communication device 51, the first near field communication tag 52 may communicate with other external near field communication devices when they are close to each other. When the electronic device 10 fails and cannot be started up, the first nfc tag 52 can be used as a slave device, and can communicate with the external nfc device 70 without power supply, so that the first nfc tag can be used as a carrier for storing information.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the first near field communication tag 52 includes a coupling unit 521 for coupling with the first near field communication device 51, and a storage unit 522, the coupling unit 521 is electrically connected to the storage unit 522, and the coupling unit 521 is further used for communicating with the external near field communication device 70 to read information stored in the storage unit 522 and/or write information to the storage unit 522. That is, when the coupling unit 521 communicates with the external near field communication device 70, the external near field communication device 70 may read the stored information in the storage unit 522 or may write information into the storage unit 522. The coupling unit 521 may be used to read information stored in the storage unit 522 or write information to the storage unit 522, or may be used to read information stored in the storage unit 522 or write information to the storage unit 522.
The arrangement mode has the advantages that: when the electronic device 10 is in the off state, the external near field communication device may also read the stored information in the storage unit 522 or store the information in the storage unit 522 under the condition that the electronic device 10 is not turned on, so as to avoid the situation of losing the stored information when the electronic device 10 fails. In which various types of information, such as text, pictures, etc., may be stored in the storage unit 522.
Preferably, the storage unit 522 is configured to store at least part of log information of the electronic device 10, where the log information is used to record fault information of the electronic device 10 during operation, and the fault information may be stored in a log statement manner, for example. Thus, when the electronic device 10 fails, the log information in the storage unit 522 can be directly read through the external near field communication device, so that the acquisition of the failure information is realized, the failure removal efficiency is improved, and the defect that the electronic device 10 cannot be started up and the failure type cannot be determined due to failure in part of cases is overcome.
Of course, it is understood that the information stored in the storage unit 522 may be other types of information, which is not limited herein.
The first near field communication device 51 may be coupled to an external near field communication tag in addition to the first near field communication tag 52, and may be used as an access card, a bus card, a transaction card, or the like. Whereas when the user uses the first near field communication device 51 as the above-mentioned purpose, the electronic apparatus 10 is normally in a folded state, since the first near field communication device 51 and the first near field communication tag 52 are in a coupled state at this time, in order to facilitate other purposes of the user using the first near field communication device 51, when the first near field communication device 51 is coupled with a plurality of near field communication tags at the same time, the plurality of near field communication tags includes the first near field communication tag 52, and the first near field communication device 51 is configured to preferentially communicate with near field communication tags other than the first near field communication tag 52. Thus, when the electronic device 10 is in the folded state, the first near field communication device 51 may also be used as an access card, a bus card, a transaction card, etc. without colliding with the first near field communication tag 52.
