The middle frame 22 is provided with a through hole, the sensor assembly 60 is disposed in the through hole 222, and the through hole 222 is disposed opposite to the second light-transmitting area 16 of the transparent cover plate 10, so that light outside the electronic device 100 can pass through the second light-transmitting area 16 and enter the through hole 222 to irradiate on the sensor assembly 60.

Alternatively, the housing 20 may be a metal housing, such as a metal such as magnesium alloy, stainless steel, etc. It should be noted that the material of the housing 20 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and other manners may also be adopted, such as: the housing 20 may be a plastic housing. Also for example: the housing 20 is a ceramic housing. For another example: the housing 20 may include a plastic part and a metal part, and the housing 20 may be a housing structure in which metal and plastic are matched with each other, specifically, the metal part may be formed first, for example, a magnesium alloy substrate is formed by injection molding, and then plastic is injected on the magnesium alloy substrate to form a plastic substrate, so as to form a complete housing structure.

It should be noted that the structure of the housing 10 according to the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, for example: the rear case 24 and the middle frame 22 are integrally formed to form a completed casing 20 structure, and the casing 20 directly has a receiving space for receiving the display 30, the circuit board 40, the battery 50, and other components.

Wherein the battery 50 is installed in the housing 20, and the battery 50 is electrically connected to the circuit board 40 to provide power to the electronic device 100. The housing 20 may serve as a battery cover for the battery 50.

Specifically, the display 30 further includes a top portion 36 and a bottom portion 38 for displaying contents, and the non-display area 34 is disposed at the bottom portion 38 of the display 30, that is, at the bottom portion of the lower half of the entire electronic device 100.

Referring also to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the sensor assembly of the present application. The sensor assembly 60 includes a light sensing device 62 and a proximity device 64, the sensor assembly 60 being disposed between the transparent cover plate 10 and the rear housing 24, the sensor assembly 60 being projected into the second light-transmissive region 15 at an orthographic projection of the transparent cover plate 10. The middle frame 22 is provided with a through hole 222 corresponding to the sensor assembly 60. In this application, the through hole 222 is disposed at the bottom of the electronic device 100, i.e. at a position corresponding to the second light-transmitting area 15 of the transparent cover plate 10. The sensor assembly 60 is disposed within the through hole 222, wherein the proximity device 64 is used to determine whether the second light-transmitting region 15 is blocked. Optionally, in an embodiment, the through hole 222 coincides with the center line 18 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 100, that is, the sensor assembly 60 is disposed at a position right in the middle of the bottom of the electronic device 100.

Specifically, the proximity device 64 includes an infrared transmitter 642 and a photoelectric conversion receiver 644, during operation, the infrared transmitter 642 emits infrared light toward the outside of the electronic device 100 at preset intervals, if the outside of the second transparent region 15 is blocked by the user's hand or other objects, the infrared light is reflected by the user's hand or other objects and transmitted back to the sensor assembly 60, and is received by the photoelectric conversion receiver 642, and the electronic device 100 adjusts the display brightness of the screen by using the standby light sensitivity value after receiving the reflected light. On the contrary, if the second light-transmitting area 15 is not blocked, the intensity received by the photoelectric conversion receiver 642 is different, and at this time, the display brightness of the display screen 30 only needs to be adjusted and controlled according to the light sensing value of the ambient light normally detected by the light sensing device 62.

Further, the sensor assembly 60 is disposed on the circuit board 40, electrically connected to the circuit board 40, and the circuit board 40 is disposed on the rear case 24. The circuit board 40 is connected to the display 30, so that the light sensor 62 senses a light value of the ambient light outside the electronic device 100 and then adjusts the display brightness of the display 30 through the circuit board 40.

Further, in an embodiment, the electronic device further includes an adjusting block 70, as shown in fig. 6, and fig. 6 is a schematic partial sectional structure along a-a direction in another embodiment of the electronic device shown in fig. 1. An adjustment block 70 is disposed on the circuit board 40, the adjustment block 70 being located on a side of the sensor assembly 60 adjacent the rear housing 24 for raising the sensor assembly 60. With the above structure, under the action of the adjusting block 70, the distance between the top surface of the sensor assembly 60 and the bottom surface of the transparent cover plate 10 is within 0.6mm, so that the sensor assembly 60 can better detect the brightness of the ambient light outside the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a schematic view of a partial cross-sectional structure along a direction a-a in yet another embodiment of the electronic device shown in fig. 1; fig. 8 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion of the structure of an embodiment of the electronic device of the present application. Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes an ink layer 80, and the ink layer 80 is formed on a side of the transparent cover plate 10 close to the sensor assembly 60. It can be understood that, the transmittance control of ink layer 80 is in the predetermined range for under the cover of ink layer 80, the existence of second printing opacity district 15 can not be seen to people's eye, but second printing opacity district 15 can be seen through again to light, makes the light sense device 62 under ink layer 80 can the sensing luminance to the ambient light outside electronic device 100, and then the display brightness of regulation control display screen 30.

In one embodiment, the through hole 222 is one, and the entire sensor assembly 60 is disposed in the same through hole 222. Alternatively, the through hole 222 is circular, rectangular, or oval, and is not particularly limited herein. In this embodiment, the ink layer 80 includes a light-shielding ink layer 82 and a diffusion ink layer 84 stacked on the light-shielding ink layer 82, and the light-shielding ink layer 82 is located between the transparent cover plate 10 and the diffusion ink layer 84. The diffusion ink layer 84 covers a part of the light-shielding ink layer 82. The orthographic projections of the light sensing device 62 and the photoelectric conversion receiver 644 fall on the shading ink layer 82 and the diffusion ink layer 84 at the same time, and it can be understood that the light sensing device 62 and the photoelectric conversion receiver 644 are used for sensing the light transmitted from the outside of the transparent cover plate 10, and the light sensing device 62 and the photoelectric conversion receiver 644 can receive a wider range of light brightness under the action of the diffusion ink layer 84. Taking the light sensing device 62 as an example, if the diffusion ink layer 84 is not disposed at the position where the light sensing device 62 is disposed, the range of the ambient light outside the electronic device 100 that can be received by the light sensing device 62 is very limited. Assuming that the electronic device 100 is under the lamp and the display 30 is turned very bright, if the user moves a little bit, the screen 30 will darken rapidly, and in fact the user's slightly moving ambient light will not change much, and the arrangement of the diffusion ink layer 84 can better improve the above problem.

It is understood that, as described above, the infrared transmitter 642 only emits infrared light out of the electronic device 100, and does not need to receive light from outside the electronic device 100. Therefore, only the light-shielding ink layer 82 is disposed directly above the infrared emitter 644, and the diffusion ink layer 84 is not required. Specifically, the orthographic projection of infrared emitter 644 falls on the portion of opacifying ink layer 82 not covered by diffusing ink layer 84.

Alternatively, in an embodiment where only one through hole 22 is provided, the light-shielding ink layer 82 shields the entire second light-transmitting region 15, for example, the area of the light-shielding ink layer 82 is slightly larger than the area of the second light-transmitting region 15, so as to cover the entire second light-transmitting region 15 more completely. The diffusing ink layer 84 only overlaps a portion of the light-shielding ink layer 82, for example, occupies more than half of the area of the light-shielding ink layer 82, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a matching relationship between the ink layer and the second light-transmitting area in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In another embodiment, the through hole 222 includes a first through hole 224 and a second through hole 226, as shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion of a structure in another embodiment of the electronic device of the present application. The first through hole 224 is used to provide the light sensing device 62 and the optoelectronic conversion receiver 644, and the second through hole 226 is used to provide the infrared emitter 642 near the device 64. Further, the ink layer 80 at the first through hole 224 includes a light-shielding ink layer 82 and a diffusion ink layer 84 stacked on the light-shielding ink layer 82, and the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion receiver 644 and the light-sensing device 62 falls on the light-shielding ink layer 82 and the diffusion ink layer 84. The ink layer 80 at the second through hole 226 only includes the shading ink layer 82, the diffusion ink layer 84 is not disposed, and the orthographic projection of the infrared emitter 642 only falls on the shading ink layer 82.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes a standby light sensor 90, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device in another embodiment of the present application; fig. 12 is a schematic structural view of the electronic device shown in fig. 11 as viewed from a direction B. The standby light sensor 90 is disposed at a position that is not easily hidden by the user's hand and does not occupy the display area 32 of the display screen 30. For example, the standby light sensor 90 is disposed at a position of the electronic device 100 away from the top end of the bottom 38 of the display area 32, i.e., the top end surface of the electronic device 100, such as the position of the a-circle shown in fig. 11.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the standby light sensation 90 coincides with the central line 18 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 100, that is, the standby light sensation 90 is disposed at a middle position of the top end surface of the electronic device 100, so as to enhance the aesthetic feeling of the overall appearance of the electronic device 100.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, the standby light sensor 90 is disposed at a corner position corresponding to the top end of the bottom portion 38 of the electronic device 100 away from the display area 32, such as the position of the circle b shown in fig. 11. It is understood that the top corner position of the electronic device 100 is also a position that is not generally obscured by the customer.

It is understood that in the embodiment where the standby light sensation 90 is provided, if the position of the second light-transmitting area 15 at the bottom of the electronic device 100 is blocked by the hand or other parts of the user, the light sensation value corresponding to the brightness of the ambient light outside the electronic device detected by the standby light sensation 90 may be used. The display brightness of the display 30 is adjusted according to the light sensation value provided by the standby light sensation 90, so that the display brightness of the display 30 of the electronic device 100 is not adjusted according to the change of the ambient light brightness when the second light-transmitting area 15 at the bottom of the electronic device 100 is blocked. Specifically, the light sensation value sensed by the standby light sensation 90 is only present if the light sensation device 62 at the bottom of the electronic device 100 is blocked. Optionally, the standby light sensor 90 may sense a light sensor value of the ambient light outside the electronic device 100 at any time, or may be activated again when the light sensor 62 at the bottom of the electronic device 100 is shielded, so as to save power consumption, which is not limited herein.

The present application further provides a method for controlling the brightness of a display screen, which is further described below. Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for controlling brightness of a display screen according to the present application. In this embodiment, the method for controlling the brightness of the display screen includes steps 101 and 102, where:

step 101: and judging whether the light transmission area is blocked or not through the proximity device.

It can be understood that, based on the structure of the electronic device, the light sensing assembly is arranged at the bottom of the electronic device, and the light sensing assembly comprises a light sensing device and a proximity device. Specifically, the proximity device comprises an infrared transmitter and a photoelectric conversion receiver, in the working process, the infrared transmitter emits infrared light towards the outside of the electronic device at preset intervals, and if the outside of the through hole is blocked by the hand of a user or other objects, the infrared light is reflected and transmitted back to the sensor assembly after hitting the hand of the user or other objects and is received by the photoelectric conversion receiver. Specifically, the light-transmitting region described in step 101 is the second light-transmitting region described in the above structural embodiments.

Specifically, in the case where the light-transmitting region is shielded and not shielded, the intensity of the light received by the photoelectric conversion receiver is completely different, and therefore whether the light-transmitting region is shielded or not can be determined according to the intensity of the light received by the photoelectric conversion receiver in the proximity device. If the transparent area is blocked, step 102 is performed. On the contrary, if the light-transmitting area is not blocked, the step 102 is not executed, and the display brightness of the display screen only needs to be adjusted and controlled according to the brightness of the ambient light normally detected by the light sensing device.

Step 102: and if the transparent area is judged to be blocked, obtaining the standby light sensation value, and controlling the display brightness of the display screen according to the standby light sensation value.

Through the judgment of the step 101, if the light-transmitting area is judged to be blocked, the standby light sensitivity value is obtained, and the display brightness of the display screen is adjusted and controlled according to the standby light sensitivity value.

Optionally, in different embodiments, the sources of the standby photosensitive values are different. For example, in one embodiment, the step of obtaining the standby photosensitive value includes: and acquiring a light sensation value acquired by standby light sensation arranged at the top or corner of the electronic device. And then adjusting the display brightness of the display screen according to the light sensation value obtained by the standby light sensation. It will be appreciated that, in particular, there is a light sensation value sensed with the standby light sensation only if the light sensation device at the bottom of the electronic device is blocked. Optionally, the standby light sensor may sense a light sensor value of ambient light outside the electronic device at any time, or may be activated again when the light sensor device at the bottom of the electronic device is shielded, so as to save power consumption, which is not limited herein.

Optionally, in another embodiment, the step of obtaining the standby photosensitive value includes: the light sensation value obtained at the above time was used as a standby light sensation value. It can be understood that, in general, the light-transmitting area is not blocked for a long time by the user, and the time interval between two adjacent times of obtaining the light sensitivity value of the ambient light on the light sensing device is very short, and in this short time, it generally does not happen that the user suddenly arrives at a relatively dark position from a very bright environment, and the light-transmitting area is just blocked. Therefore, the light sensation value obtained for the last time in a short time is used as the standby light sensation value to adjust and control the display brightness of the display screen, and the use of a user is not influenced.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic flowchart illustrating another embodiment of a method for controlling brightness of a display screen according to the present application. In this embodiment, the method for controlling the brightness of the display screen is different from the previous embodiment in that the manner of obtaining the standby photosensitive value is different, and specifically, the method includes step 201 and step 202, where step 201 is the same as step 101 in the previous embodiment, and is not described herein again, specifically:

step 201: and judging whether the light transmission area is blocked or not through the proximity device.

Step 202: and if the light-transmitting area is judged to be blocked, imaging is carried out through the camera of the electronic device, and a standby photosensitive value is obtained according to the formed image.

It can be understood that the camera can acquire the environment outside the electronic device, and if the light-transmitting area is blocked, the standby photosensitive value is acquired through the image formed by the camera imaging. And further realize the regulation to the display screen luminance.

Alternatively, in an embodiment, if the light-transmitting area is determined to be blocked by the determination of step 201, the camera is only imaged to obtain the light sensitivity value under such a condition, so as not to affect the normal use of the electronic device by the user. At this time, the image formed by the imaging of the camera of the electronic device is not displayed on the display screen and is directly stored in the electronic device. It can be understood that after a preset time period, or periodically, the images stored in the electronic device are cleaned and deleted, so that excessive memory occupation is avoided.

Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling brightness of a display screen according to another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the method for controlling the brightness of the display screen is different from the previous embodiment in that the method further includes giving a blocking prompt to a user, specifically, the method includes steps 301 to 303, where

steps

301 and 302 are respectively consistent with steps 101 and 102 in the previous embodiment, and are not described herein again, specifically:

step 301: whether the light-transmitting area is shielded or not is judged through the proximity device

Step 302: and if the transparent area is judged to be blocked, obtaining the standby light sensation value, and controlling the display brightness of the display screen according to the standby light sensation value.

Step 303: and if the transparent area is judged to be shielded, forming prompt information to remind a user that the transparent area is shielded.

When the transparent area is judged to be blocked, prompt information can be formed, so that the user can remove the blocking of the transparent area after seeing the prompt information. Optionally, the prompt information may be prompted by displaying characters on a screen, or by vibration of the electronic device, or by setting a prompt lamp in a non-display area at the bottom of the display screen, at a position where the sensor assembly is set, and prompting the user by flashing the prompt lamp. It can be understood that the transparent cover plate can be coated with ink at the position corresponding to the position where the indicator light is arranged, so that the ink cannot be seen from the appearance of the electronic device.

It can be understood that through the structural improvement, the sensor assembly is arranged at the bottom of the electronic device, and then the light sensing device is not required to be arranged at the top of the electronic device, so that the overall appearance performance of the electronic device is better. Whether the light-transmitting area is shielded or not can be judged through the arrangement of the proximity device, if the light-transmitting area is shielded, the standby light sensation value also controls the display brightness of the display screen, and the use of a user is not influenced.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes, which are made by the contents of the specification and the drawings of the present application or are directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of the present application.
