Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a foldable electronic device 100, which includes a housing assembly 10 and a folding mechanism 20, wherein the housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 12 and a second housing 14 that are movably connected. The second housing 14 and the first housing 12 are relatively movable about the fold axis Z. In this embodiment, the folding mechanism 20 is connected between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 such that the second housing 14 and the first housing 12 are capable of folding movement about the folding axis Z. It is understood that the foldable electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes, but is not limited to, a foldable mobile phone, a foldable computer, and other terminal devices.

The folding mechanism 20 may be a hinge structure or a support structure having a rotation shaft 20 a. The structure of the folding mechanism 20 is not limited herein, as long as it can accommodate the folding and unfolding requirements of the folding electronic device 100.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1 and 2, the foldable electronic device 100 includes a detection module 30, an incoming call alert module 40, and a control module 50. The detection module 30 is used to detect the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14. The incoming call reminding module 40 is used for reminding incoming call information, and the incoming call reminding module 40 has a first response mode and a second response mode. The detecting module 30 and the incoming call reminding module 40 are electrically connected with the control module 50, and when the detecting module 30 detects that the first casing 12 and the second casing 14 are folded together, the control module 50 controls the incoming call reminding module 40 to switch from the first response mode to the second response mode. In this embodiment, since the incoming call reminding module 40 is electrically connected to the detecting module 30, and when the detecting module 30 detects that the first casing 12 and the second casing 14 are unfolded from each other, the control module 50 controls the incoming call reminding module 40 to switch from the first response mode to the second response mode, so that the switching operation of the incoming call information prompting mode is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

For ease of description, the two extreme positions of relative rotation of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are referred to as the "extended position" and the "collapsed position", respectively. That is, the second housing 14 is movable relative to the first housing 12 about the folding axis Z to a flattened position in which the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 is 180 °, and a folded position in which the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 is 0 °. It will be appreciated that in the embodiments of the application that follow, the flattened position, the folded position, and the like refer to the relative positions of the second housing 14 and the first housing 12. For simplicity, similar expressions of "second housing 14 is in the flattened position" or "in the flattened position" refer to second housing 14 being in the flattened position relative to first housing 12, and similar expressions of "second housing 14 is in the folded position" or "in the folded position" refer to second housing 14 being in the folded position relative to first housing 12.

The incoming call alert module 40 includes a vibrator for responding to the first response mode and a speaker for responding to the second response mode. When the detection module 30 detects that the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are unfolded from each other, the control module 50 controls the vibration mode (i.e., the first response mode) of the vibrator of the incoming call reminding module 40 to be switched to the ringing mode (i.e., the second response mode) of the speaker, thereby avoiding that the user places the mobile phone in a pocket and is not easy to obtain incoming call reminding information.

In some embodiments, when the detection module 30 detects that the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are unfolded from each other, the control module 50 controls the incoming call reminder module 40 to switch from the second response mode to the first response mode. Thus, by operating the folded or unfolded state of the folding electronic apparatus 100, switching of the incoming call alert mode can be achieved.

Taking the first response mode as a vibration mode and the second response mode as a ringing mode as an example, when the foldable electronic device 100 is folded, the foldable electronic device 100 enters the ringing mode because the incoming call reminding module 40 is switched from the first response mode to the second response mode; when the foldable electronic device 100 is unfolded, the foldable electronic device 100 enters the vibration mode because the incoming call reminding module 40 is switched from the second response mode to the first response mode.

In some embodiments, the detection module 30 may be configured to detect the relative rotational angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 using hall detection technology. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the detection module 30 includes a hall sensor 30a and a magnetic member 30b, one of the hall sensor 30a and the magnetic member 30b is disposed on the folding mechanism 20, and the other is disposed on the first housing 12 or the second housing 14, when the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 relatively rotate, the hall sensor 30a and the magnetic member 30b relatively move, and the hall sensor 30a is used for obtaining the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 through the detected magnetic field change. In this embodiment, the hall sensor 30a may be a single-axis hall element or a multi-axis hall element. The magnetic member 30b may be a magnet or a magnetic steel, and is not limited herein, as long as the hall sensor 30a can detect a magnetic field change caused by the movement of the magnetic member 30b, so as to satisfy the detection requirement of the relative rotation angle α of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14. The magnetic member 30b may have an N pole facing the hall element, or an S pole facing the hall element.

It should be noted that, the detection of the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 by the detection module 30 may be a direct measurement or an indirect measurement.

For example, as shown in connection with fig. 4, the folding mechanism 20 includes a rotation shaft 20a, and the detection module 30 is configured to obtain the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 by detecting the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 20 a. Here, the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 20a is the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 20a relative to the first housing 12 or the second housing 14, in other words, the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 20a corresponds to the rotation angle of the first housing 12 around the rotation shaft 20a, or the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 20a corresponds to the rotation angle of the second housing 14 around the rotation shaft 20 a.

As another example, referring to fig. 5, the folding mechanism 20 includes a rotating shaft 20a and a first gear 20b connected to the rotating shaft 20a, at least one of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 is provided with a second gear 10a, when the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 rotate relatively, the rotating shaft 20a drives the second gear 10a to rotate via the first gear 20b, and the detecting module 30 is configured to obtain the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 by detecting the rotation angle of the second gear 10 a.

The first gear 20b and the second gear 10a are engaged with each other, and the gear ratio of the first gear 20b to the second gear 10a is 1: 3-1:2, thereby, the second gear 10a can obtain a larger rotation angle than the first gear 20b, so as to facilitate improving the detection precision of the detection module 30. Specifically, in general, during the relative rotation of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14, since the maximum rotation angle therebetween is from the folded position to the unfolded position, the first housing 12 may rotate slightly relative to the rotation shaft 20a and the second housing 14 may rotate relative to the rotation shaft 20a, which is not easy to be accurately detected by the detection module 30. And the transmission ratio of the first gear 20b to the second gear 10a is 1: 3-1:2, the small-amplitude rotation can be effectively converted into the large-amplitude rotation of the second gear 10a, so that the detection module 30 can accurately detect the rotation angle of the second gear 10a, and the relative rotation angle alpha between the first shell 12 and the second shell 14 is obtained through conversion of the transmission ratio between the second gear 10a and the first gear 20b (namely the rotating shaft 20 a).

For another example, in some embodiments, as shown in connection with fig. 6, the folding mechanism 20 includes a shaft 20a and a gear (e.g., the first gear 10 a) coupled to the shaft 20a, at least one of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 is provided with a rack 10b, the rack 10b is slidably coupled to the housing assembly 10 and is in driving engagement with the gear, i.e., the gear rotates with the shaft 20a to drive the rack 10b to slide relative to the housing assembly 10. The detection module 30 obtains the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 by detecting the displacement variation of the rack 10 b.

In some embodiments, the first gear 20b and the second gear 10a may be coupled by a belt, so that the rotation angle of the first gear 20b may be converted from the rotation angle of the second gear 10a, and the relative rotation angle α between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 may be converted from the rotation angle of the first gear 20b because the first gear 20b is caused by the relative rotation of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14.

The type of the detection module 30 is not limited herein. In some embodiments, the detection module 30 may also be at least one of a capacitive sensor, a pressure sensor, an optical sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor.

In some embodiments, the foldable electronic device 100 may be a display-enabled device, such as that shown in connection with fig. 7 and 8, the foldable electronic device 100 including a flexible screen 60 coupled to the housing assembly 10. Specifically, the flexible screen 60 is connected to the first and second housings 12, 14, and the flexible screen 60 is capable of being retracted into the housing assembly 10 or extended from the housing assembly 10 as the first and second housings 12, 14 are rotated.

Along with the relative movement of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 about the folding axis Z, the flexible screen 60 is folded about the folding axis Z, and finally when the second housing 14 moves to the folded position, the flexible screen 60 is folded between the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 and is not exposed, so that the foldable electronic device 100 is not only convenient to carry, but also can play a good protection role on the flexible screen 60 when the foldable electronic device 100 falls.

When the second housing 14 is in the flattened position, the foldable electronic device 100 can obtain a relatively large display area, so as to obtain a visual experience of a large screen display, so as to improve the use experience of the foldable electronic device 100.

It should be noted that, the housing assembly 10 is formed with a receiving cavity (not shown), and the foldable electronic device 100 may further include a circuit board (not shown) and a battery (not shown), both of which may be disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing assembly 10. The circuit board may integrate a processor, a power management module, a memory unit, and a baseband chip of the folding electronic device 100, etc.

In embodiments where the foldable electronic device 100 includes a flexible screen 60, the flexible screen 60 is communicatively coupled to the processor and the battery is capable of powering the flexible screen 60 and the electronic components on the circuit board. In some embodiments, the foldable electronic device 100 may further include a camera module (not shown), the camera module being communicatively coupled to the circuit board, the battery being capable of powering the camera module.
