Description

本発明は、表示筐体及び操作筐体を有する電子機器に関する。   The present invention relates to an electronic device having a display housing and an operation housing.

従来の携帯電話機等の電子機器には、操作部を有する操作筐体と、表示部を有し操作筐体に重ねあわされる表示筐体と、操作筐体に接続され、表示筐体を表示部の面方向に回転可能に支持する支持筐体とを有し、操作部に対する表示部の縦横方向を切り替えることができる、いわゆる回転機構を有するものが開発されている。   A conventional electronic device such as a cellular phone includes an operation housing having an operation unit, a display housing having a display unit and overlaid on the operation housing, and connected to the operation housing. And a support housing that is rotatably supported in the surface direction, and a so-called rotation mechanism that can switch the vertical and horizontal directions of the display unit with respect to the operation unit has been developed.

このような電子機器では、表示筐体の縦横方向を切り替えるのに伴い、表示画像の縦横方向も切り替える必要があるため、表示筐体の縦横方向を検出する必要がある。
例えば、特許文献１に記載の携帯電話機では、支持筐体に３個の磁気センサを設け、表示筐体に設けた磁石による磁界を検出することにより、表示筐体の支持筐体に対する回転角度を検出する構造となっている。
なお、特許文献１に記載の携帯電話機では、表示筐体の操作部に対する位置を検出する方法については記載されていない。
特開２００３−３１９０４３号公報 In such an electronic device, it is necessary to switch the vertical and horizontal directions of the display housing as the vertical and horizontal directions of the display housing are switched. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the vertical and horizontal directions of the display housing.
For example, in the mobile phone described in Patent Document 1, the rotation angle of the display housing with respect to the support housing is set by providing three magnetic sensors in the support housing and detecting the magnetic field generated by the magnet provided on the display housing. It has a structure to detect.
Note that the mobile phone described in Patent Document 1 does not describe a method for detecting the position of the display housing relative to the operation unit.

However, although various technically preferable limitations for implementing the present invention are given to the embodiments described below, the scope of the invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

〔第１実施形態〕
図１は本発明の第１実施形態に係る電子機器１Ａを示す斜視図である。この電子機器１Ａは、折り畳み機構及び回転機構を有する携帯電話機であり、操作筐体２と、支持筐体３と、表示筐体４とを備える。操作筐体２はテンキー２１、カーソルキー２２、メニューキー２３等の操作部２０を有し、支持筐体３に対してヒンジ部５で接続されている。表示筐体４は液晶画面等の表示部４０を有し、支持筐体３に対して図示しない回転機構により面方向に回転可能に接続されている。 [First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an electronic apparatus 1A according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The electronic apparatus 1A is a mobile phone having a folding mechanism and a rotation mechanism, and includes an operation housing 2, a support housing 3, and a display housing 4. The operation housing 2 has operation units 20 such as a numeric keypad 21, a cursor key 22, and a menu key 23, and is connected to the support housing 3 by a hinge unit 5. The display housing 4 includes a display unit 40 such as a liquid crystal screen, and is connected to the support housing 3 so as to be rotatable in a plane direction by a rotation mechanism (not shown).

表示筐体４及び支持筐体３は、ヒンジ部５を動かすことで、操作筐体２に対して操作部２０と表示部４０とが対向するように重ね合わせられた状態（閉状態）、または、操作部２０及び表示部４０が使用者側に向くように開いた状態（開状態）とすることができる。
また、表示筐体４は、図示しない回転機構により、表示筐体４の長手方向が操作筐体２の長手方向と一致する状態（縦状態）、または、表示筐体４の長手方向が操作筐体２の短手方向と一致する状態（横状態）とすることができる。 The display housing 4 and the support housing 3 are moved so that the operation unit 20 and the display unit 40 are opposed to the operation housing 2 by moving the hinge unit 5 (closed state), or The operation unit 20 and the display unit 40 can be in an open state (open state) so as to face the user side.
Further, the display housing 4 is in a state (vertical state) in which the longitudinal direction of the display housing 4 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the operation housing 2 or a longitudinal direction of the display housing 4 is operated by the rotation mechanism (not shown). It can be in a state (lateral state) that coincides with the lateral direction of the body 2.

したがって、電子機器１Ａは、図２及び図３に示す（開・縦）状態、図４に示す（閉・縦）状態、図１及び図５に示す（開・横）状態、図６に示す（閉・横）状態の４状態とすることができる。ここで、図２は（開・縦）状態の電子機器１Ａを示す正面図であり、図３は（開・縦）状態の電子機器１Ａを示す側面図であり、図４は（閉・縦）状態の電子機器１Ａを示す側面図であり、図５は（開・横）状態の電子機器１Ａを示す正面図であり、図６は（閉・横）状態の電子機器１Ａを示す側面図である。   Accordingly, the electronic device 1A is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 (open / vertical) state, FIG. 4 (closed / vertical) state, FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 (open / horizontal) state, and FIG. There can be four states (closed / lateral). 2 is a front view showing the electronic device 1A in the (open / vertical) state, FIG. 3 is a side view showing the electronic device 1A in the (open / vertical) state, and FIG. 4 is (closed / vertical). ) Is a side view showing the electronic device 1A in the state, FIG. 5 is a front view showing the electronic device 1A in the (open / horizontal) state, and FIG. 6 is a side view showing the electronic device 1A in the (closed / horizontal) state. It is.

本実施形態に係る電子機器１Ａにおいては、（開・縦）状態、（開・横）状態、（閉・縦）状態、（閉・横）状態の４状態を検出するために、検出部として１つの磁気センサ６０と、被検出部として１つの縦横検出用磁石６１及び２つの開閉検出用磁石６２，６３とが設けられている。ここで、被検出部としては極性の方向及び強度を有するものを用いることができ、検出部としては被検出部の極性の方向及び強度を検出することができるものを用いることができる。   In the electronic apparatus 1A according to the present embodiment, in order to detect four states of (open / vertical) state, (open / horizontal) state, (closed / vertical) state, and (closed / horizontal) state, One magnetic sensor 60, one vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and two open / close detection magnets 62 and 63 are provided as detected parts. Here, as the detected part, one having a polarity direction and intensity can be used, and as the detecting part, one capable of detecting the polarity direction and intensity of the detected part can be used.

磁気センサ６０は表示筐体４に設けられており、図１、図５に示すように、表示筐体４の長手方向の中央部であって、（開・横）状態においてヒンジ部５側となる端部の近傍に設けられている。磁気センサ６０は磁界の強度及び方向を検出するものであり、例えばホール効果により磁界の強度及び方向を検出するホール素子等を用いることができる。
磁気センサ６０は、表示筐体４を横状態から縦状態に回転させることで、図２に示すように、正面視右側に配置される。 The magnetic sensor 60 is provided in the display housing 4, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the magnetic sensor 60 is a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the display housing 4, and in the (open / horizontal) state, It is provided in the vicinity of the end. The magnetic sensor 60 detects the intensity and direction of the magnetic field. For example, a Hall element that detects the intensity and direction of the magnetic field by the Hall effect can be used.
The magnetic sensor 60 is arranged on the right side as viewed from the front as shown in FIG. 2 by rotating the display housing 4 from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

縦横検出用磁石６１は支持筐体３に設けられており、図２及び図３に示すように、縦状態において磁気センサ６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設けられている。このため、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界が磁気センサ６０により検出される。
一方、図１及び図５に示すように、横位置においては、縦横検出用磁石６１と磁気センサ６０とは互いに重なり合わないため、縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界は磁気センサ６０により検出されない。 The vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is provided in the support housing 3 and is provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 60 is arranged in the vertical state, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Therefore, the magnetic sensor 60 detects the magnetic field generated by the vertical and horizontal detection magnets 61 in the vertical state.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, in the horizontal position, the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the magnetic sensor 60 do not overlap each other, and therefore the magnetic field generated by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is not detected by the magnetic sensor 60.

開閉検出用磁石６２，６３は操作筐体２の２箇所に設けられている。一方の開閉検出用磁石（閉・縦検出用磁石６２）は、図４に示すように、（閉・縦）状態において磁気センサ６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設けられている。
他方の開閉検出用磁石（閉・横検出用磁石６３）は、図６に示すように、（閉・横）状態において磁気センサ６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設けられている。 The opening / closing detection magnets 62 and 63 are provided at two locations on the operation casing 2. One open / close detection magnet (closed / vertical detection magnet 62) is provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 60 is disposed in the (closed / vertical) state, as shown in FIG.
The other open / close detection magnet (closed / lateral detection magnet 63) is provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 60 is disposed in the (closed / lateral) state, as shown in FIG.

図４に示す（閉・縦）状態においては、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・縦検出用磁石６２とが対向し、その間に磁気センサ６０が配置されることとなる。ここで、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・縦検出用磁石６２とは、対向する位置において極性の方向がほぼ同じ向きに配置され、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界を強め合うように磁極が配置される。   In the (closed / vertical) state shown in FIG. 4, the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 face each other, and the magnetic sensor 60 is disposed therebetween. Here, the vertical and horizontal detection magnets 61 and the closed / vertical detection magnets 62 are arranged so that the polar directions are substantially the same at the opposing positions, and the magnetic poles are arranged so as to strengthen the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60. The

すなわち、縦横検出用磁石６１を表示筐体４の裏側にＮ極を向けて配置したときは、閉・縦検出用磁石６２を表示筐体４の表側（表示部４０側）にＳ極を向けて配置する。あるいは、縦横検出用磁石６１を表示筐体４の裏側にＳ極を向けて配置したときは、閉・縦検出用磁石６２を表示筐体４の表側にＮ極を向けて配置する。   That is, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is arranged with the N pole facing the back side of the display housing 4, the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 is directed to the front side (display unit 40 side) of the display housing 4. Arrange. Alternatively, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is disposed with the south pole facing the back side of the display housing 4, the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 is disposed with the north pole facing the front side of the display housing 4.

図６に示す（閉・横）状態においては、磁気センサ６０と閉・横検出用磁石６３とが対向して配置されることとなる。ここで、閉・横検出用磁石６３は、縦横検出用磁石６１と対向する位置において極性の方向がほぼ反対向きに配置され、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石６１が磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように磁極が配置される。つまり、閉・縦検出用磁石６２と閉・横検出用磁石６３の磁界の方向は反対方向となる。   In the (closed / lateral) state shown in FIG. 6, the magnetic sensor 60 and the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 are arranged to face each other. Here, the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 is disposed so that the polarity direction is substantially opposite at the position facing the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61, and the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 in the vertical state is arranged. The magnetic poles are arranged so as to be opposite to the direction. That is, the magnetic field directions of the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 and the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 are opposite to each other.

すなわち、縦横検出用磁石６１を表示筐体４の裏側にＮ極を向けて配置したときは、閉・横検出用磁石６３を表示筐体４の表側（表示部４０側）にＮ極を向けて配置する。あるいは、縦横検出用磁石６１を表示筐体４の裏側にＳ極を向けて配置したときは、閉・横検出用磁石６３を表示筐体４の表側にＳ極を向けて配置する。   That is, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is arranged with the N pole facing the back side of the display housing 4, the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 is oriented with the N pole facing the front side (display unit 40 side) of the display housing 4. Arrange. Alternatively, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is disposed with the south pole facing the back side of the display housing 4, the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 is disposed with the south pole facing the front side of the display housing 4.

本実施の形態においては、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向を検出することで、以下に示すように、（開・縦）状態、（開・横）状態、（閉・縦）状態、（閉・横）状態の４状態を検出することができる。なお、縦横検出用磁石６１、閉・縦検出用磁石６２、及び、閉・横検出用磁石６３はいずれも同程度の磁力を有するものを使用する。   In the present embodiment, by detecting the intensity and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60, as shown below, an (open / vertical) state, an (open / horizontal) state, and a (closed / vertical) state , (Closed / lateral) states can be detected. Note that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61, the closed / vertical detection magnet 62, and the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 all have the same magnetic force.

まず、図２及び図３に示す（開・縦）状態においては、磁気センサ６０は縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界を検出する。このときの磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度を１、方向を＋とする（＋１）。   First, in the (open / vertical) state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the magnetic sensor 60 detects a magnetic field by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61. The intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 at this time is 1 and the direction is + (+1).

次に、図４に示す（閉・縦）状態においては、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・縦検出用磁石６２とが磁界を強め合うように磁極が配置されており、磁気センサ６０がその間に配置されるため、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は２となり、方向は＋である（＋２）。   Next, in the (closed / vertical) state shown in FIG. 4, the magnetic poles are arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 intensify the magnetic field, and the magnetic sensor 60 is interposed between them. Therefore, the intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is 2, and the direction is + (+2).

一方、図６に示す（閉・横）状態においては、磁気センサ６０は閉・横検出用磁石６３による磁界を検出する。このときの磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は１であるが、閉・横検出用磁石６３の磁極は、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石６１が磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように配置されているので、方向は−となる（−１）。   On the other hand, in the (closed / lateral) state shown in FIG. 6, the magnetic sensor 60 detects the magnetic field generated by the closed / lateral detection magnet 63. The strength of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 at this time is 1, but the magnetic pole of the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 is opposite to the direction of the magnetic field applied by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 to the magnetic sensor 60 in the vertical state. Therefore, the direction is-(-1).

また、図１及び図５に示す（開・横）状態においては、磁気センサ６０にはいずれの磁石の磁界も作用しないため、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は０となる（±０）。   Further, in the (open / horizontal) state shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, since the magnetic field of any magnet does not act on the magnetic sensor 60, the strength of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is 0 (± 0). .

以上示したように、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向が（−１）、（±０）、（＋１）、（＋２）のいずれであるかを検出することにより、（閉・横）状態、（開・横）状態、（開・縦）状態、（閉・縦）状態のいずれかであることを検出することができる。   As described above, by detecting whether the intensity and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is (−1), (± 0), (+1), or (+2), (closed / lateral ) State, (open / horizontal) state, (open / vertical) state, and (closed / vertical) state.

このように、１つの磁気センサ６０と３つの磁石６１，６２，６３を設けることで、折り畳み機構及び回転機構を有する電子機器において、（開・縦）状態、（開・横）状態、（閉・縦）状態、（閉・横）状態の４状態を検出することができ、少ない部品点数で筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。
また、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・縦検出用磁石６２とを磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界を強め合うように配置したので、磁界の強度によって筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。
また、閉・横検出用磁石６３を、磁極が縦状態において縦横検出用磁石６１が磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように配置したので、磁界の強度によって筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。 Thus, by providing one magnetic sensor 60 and three magnets 61, 62, 63, in an electronic device having a folding mechanism and a rotating mechanism, the (open / vertical) state, (open / horizontal) state, (closed) -Four states of (vertical) state and (closed / horizontal) state can be detected, and the positional relationship between the casings can be detected with a small number of parts.
Further, since the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 are arranged so as to intensify the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60, it is possible to detect the positional relationship between the casings based on the strength of the magnetic field.
Further, since the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 is arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 is in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 when the magnetic poles are in the vertical state, the mutual strength of the magnetic field causes the mutual housing to The arrangement relationship can be detected.

なお、縦横検出用磁石６１を横状態において磁気センサ６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設け、横状態において縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界を磁気センサ６０により検出するようにしてもよい。この場合、縦横検出用磁石６１の磁界の方向を逆向きにするか、あるいは、閉・縦検出用磁石６２、及び、閉・横検出用磁石６３の磁界の方向を逆向きにすればよい。   The vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 may be provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 60 is arranged in the horizontal state, and the magnetic sensor 60 may detect the magnetic field generated by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 in the horizontal state. In this case, the magnetic field direction of the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 may be reversed, or the magnetic field directions of the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 and the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 may be reversed.

本変形例に係る電子機器１Ｂにおいては、閉・横検出用磁石６３を省略している。このため、本変形例においては、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向を検出することで、以下に示すように、（開・縦）状態、（閉・縦）状態、（横）状態の３状態を検出することができる。   In the electronic apparatus 1B according to this modification, the closing / lateral detection magnet 63 is omitted. For this reason, in this modification, by detecting the strength and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60, as shown below, the (open / vertical) state, (closed / vertical) state, (horizontal) state These three states can be detected.

まず、図７に示す（開・縦）状態においては、磁気センサ６０は縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界を検出する。このときの磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は１であり、方向は＋である（＋１）。   First, in the (open / vertical) state shown in FIG. 7, the magnetic sensor 60 detects a magnetic field by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61. The intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 at this time is 1 and the direction is + (+1).

次に、図８に示す（閉・縦）状態においては、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・縦検出用磁石６２とが磁界を強め合うように磁極が配置されており、磁気センサ６０がその間に配置されるため、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は２となり、方向は＋である（＋２）。   Next, in the (closed / vertical) state shown in FIG. 8, the magnetic poles are arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 intensify the magnetic field, and the magnetic sensor 60 is interposed between them. Therefore, the intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is 2, and the direction is + (+2).

一方、図９に示す（開・横）状態、及び図１０に示す（開・横）状態においては、閉・横検出用磁石６３が省略されているため、磁気センサ６０にはいずれの磁石の磁界も作用せず、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度は０となる（±０）。   On the other hand, in the (open / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 9 and the (open / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 10, the closed / lateral detection magnet 63 is omitted. No magnetic field acts, and the intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is 0 (± 0).

以上示したように、磁気センサ６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向が（±０）、（＋１）、（＋２）のいずれであるかを検出することにより、（横）状態、（開・縦）状態、（閉・縦）状態のいずれかであることを検出することができる。   As described above, by detecting whether the intensity and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 60 is (± 0), (+1), or (+2), the (transverse) state, (open / vertical) ) State or (closed / vertical) state.

このように、１つの磁気センサ６０と２つの磁石を設けることで、（横）状態、（開・縦）状態、（閉・縦）状態の３状態を検出することができる。このため、（横）状態で開閉を検知する必要がない場合には、さらに少ない部品点数で筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。   In this way, by providing one magnetic sensor 60 and two magnets, it is possible to detect three states of (horizontal) state, (open / vertical) state, and (closed / vertical) state. For this reason, when it is not necessary to detect opening and closing in the (horizontal) state, it is possible to detect the positional relationship between the casings with a smaller number of parts.

なお、縦横検出用磁石６１を横状態において磁気センサ６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設け、横状態において縦横検出用磁石６１による磁界を磁気センサ６０により検出するようにしてもよい。この場合、閉・横検出用磁石６３を省略する代わりに閉・縦検出用磁石６２を省略し、縦横検出用磁石６１と閉・横検出用磁石６３とが対向する位置において磁界の方向が同方向となるようにすればよい。   The vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 may be provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 60 is arranged in the horizontal state, and the magnetic sensor 60 may detect the magnetic field generated by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 in the horizontal state. In this case, instead of omitting the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63, the closed / vertical detection magnet 62 is omitted, and the direction of the magnetic field is the same at the position where the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 61 and the closed / horizontal detection magnet 63 face each other. The direction should be set.

FIGS. 11-14 is a perspective view which shows the electronic device 101 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention. The electronic device 101 is a mobile phone having a slide mechanism and a rotation mechanism, and includes an operation housing 102, a support housing 103, and a display housing 104.
The display housing 104 includes a display unit 140 such as a liquid crystal screen, a cursor key 141, a menu key 142, and the like, and is connected to the support housing 103 so as to be rotatable in a plane direction by a rotation mechanism (not shown).

支持筐体１０３は表示筐体１０４の裏側であって下部に設けられており、操作筐体１０２のスライド溝１２２，１２２と係合する係合部１３１，１３１が設けられている。
操作筐体１０２はテンキー１２１等の操作部１２０を有するとともに、スライド溝１２２，１２２が形成されている。スライド溝１２２，１２２に係合部１３１，１３１が係合することで、支持筐体１０３がスライド溝１２２，１２２に沿って操作筐体１０２に対して上下方向（操作筐体１０２の長手方向）にスライド可能とされている。 The support housing 103 is provided on the back side of the display housing 104 and at the lower portion, and engaging portions 131 and 131 that engage with the slide grooves 122 and 122 of the operation housing 102 are provided.
The operation housing 102 includes an operation unit 120 such as a numeric keypad 121 and slide grooves 122 and 122 are formed. By engaging the engaging portions 131 and 131 with the slide grooves 122 and 122, the support housing 103 is vertically moved with respect to the operation housing 102 along the slide grooves 122 and 122 (longitudinal direction of the operation housing 102). It is possible to slide.

支持筐体１０３を操作筐体１０２に対して上下方向にスライドさせることで、表示筐体１０４を上方にスライドした状態（上状態）、または、操作筐体１０２の前部に表示筐体１０４が重ね合わせられた状態（下状態）とすることができる。
また、表示筐体１０４は、図示しない回転機構により、表示筐体１０４の長手方向が操作筐体１０２の長手方向と一致する状態（縦状態）、または、表示筐体１０４の長手方向が操作筐体１０２の短手方向と一致する状態（横状態）とすることができる。 By sliding the support housing 103 up and down with respect to the operation housing 102, the display housing 104 is slid upward (upward state), or the display housing 104 is in front of the operation housing 102. A superposed state (lower state) can be obtained.
In addition, the display housing 104 is in a state (vertical state) in which the longitudinal direction of the display housing 104 matches the longitudinal direction of the operation housing 102 or the longitudinal direction of the display housing 104 is controlled by the rotation mechanism (not shown). It can be in a state (lateral state) that coincides with the short direction of the body 102.

したがって、電子機器１０１は、図１１に示す（上・縦）状態、図１２に示す（下・縦）状態、図１３に示す（上・横）状態、図１４に示す（下・横）状態の４状態とすることができる。ここで、図１１は（上・縦）状態の電子機器１０１を示す斜視図であり、図１２は（下・縦）状態の電子機器１０１を示す斜視図であり、図１３は（上・横）状態の電子機器１０１を示す斜視図であり、図１４は（下・横）状態の電子機器１０１を示す斜視図である。   Therefore, the electronic device 101 is in the (upper / vertical) state shown in FIG. 11, the (lower / vertical) state shown in FIG. 12, the (upper / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 13, and the (lower / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 4 states can be obtained. 11 is a perspective view showing the electronic device 101 in the (upper / vertical) state, FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the electronic device 101 in the (lower / vertical) state, and FIG. ) Is a perspective view showing the electronic device 101 in the state, and FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing the electronic device 101 in the (lower / lateral) state.

本実施形態に係る電子機器１０１においては、（上・縦）状態、（上・横）状態、（下・縦）状態、（下・横）状態の４状態を検出するために、検出部として１つの磁気センサ１６０と、被検出部として１つの縦横検出用磁石１６１及び２つの上下検出用磁石１６２，１６３とが設けられている。   In the electronic apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment, a detection unit is used to detect four states of (up / vertical) state, (up / horizontal) state, (lower / vertical) state, and (lower / horizontal) state. One magnetic sensor 160, one vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 and two vertical detection magnets 162 and 163 are provided as detection parts.

磁気センサ１６０は表示筐体１０４に設けられており、図１４に示すように、（下・横）状態において、操作筐体１０２の左下角部と対応する位置に設けられている。磁気センサ１６０としては、第１の実施形態と同様に、ホール素子等を用いることができる。
磁気センサ１６０は、表示筐体１０４を横状態から縦状態に回転させることで、図１２に示すように、支持筐体１０３の右上方に配置される。 The magnetic sensor 160 is provided in the display housing 104, and is provided at a position corresponding to the lower left corner of the operation housing 102 in the (down / horizontal) state, as shown in FIG. As the magnetic sensor 160, a Hall element or the like can be used as in the first embodiment.
The magnetic sensor 160 is disposed on the upper right side of the support housing 103 as shown in FIG. 12 by rotating the display housing 104 from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

縦横検出用磁石１６１は支持筐体１０３に設けられており、図１１〜図１４に示すように、縦状態において磁気センサ１６０が配置される位置と重なる右上方の位置に設けられている。このため、図１１及び図１２に示すように、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石１６１による磁界が磁気センサ１６０により検出される。
一方、図１３及び図１４に示すように、横位置においては、縦横検出用磁石１６１と磁気センサ１６０とは互いに重なり合わないため、縦横検出用磁石１６１による磁界は磁気センサ１６０により検出されない。 The vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is provided in the support housing 103, and as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, is provided at an upper right position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 160 is arranged in the vertical state. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the magnetic sensor 160 detects the magnetic field by the vertical and horizontal detection magnets 161 in the vertical state.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, in the horizontal position, the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 and the magnetic sensor 160 do not overlap each other, and therefore the magnetic field by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is not detected by the magnetic sensor 160.

上下検出用磁石１６２，１６３は操作筐体１０２の２箇所に設けられている。一方の上下検出用磁石（下・縦検出用磁石１６２）は、図１２に示すように、（下・縦）状態において磁気センサ１６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設けられている。
他方の上下検出用磁石（下・横検出用磁石１６３）は、図１４に示すように、（下・横）状態において磁気センサ１６０が配置される位置と重なる位置に設けられている。 The upper and lower detection magnets 162 and 163 are provided at two locations on the operation casing 102. One vertical detection magnet (lower / vertical detection magnet 162) is provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 160 is disposed in the (lower / vertical) state, as shown in FIG.
The other upper / lower detection magnet (lower / lateral detection magnet 163) is provided at a position overlapping the position where the magnetic sensor 160 is arranged in the (lower / lateral) state, as shown in FIG.

図１２に示す（下・縦）状態においては、縦横検出用磁石１６１と下・縦検出用磁石１６２と重なり合い、その上方に磁気センサ１６０が配置されることとなる。ここで、縦横検出用磁石１６１と下・縦検出用磁石１６２とは、磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界を強め合うように磁極が配置される。   In the (lower / vertical) state shown in FIG. 12, the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 and the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 overlap with each other, and the magnetic sensor 160 is arranged above the magnet. Here, the vertical and horizontal detection magnets 161 and the lower and vertical detection magnets 162 are arranged with magnetic poles so as to strengthen the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160.

すなわち、縦横検出用磁石１６１を表示筐体１０４側にＮ極を向けて配置したときは、下・縦検出用磁石１６２も表示筐体１０４側にＮ極を向けて配置する。あるいは、縦横検出用磁石１６１を表示筐体１０４側にＳ極を向けて配置したときは、下・縦検出用磁石１６２も表示筐体１０４側にＳ極を向けて配置する。   In other words, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is arranged with the north pole facing the display casing 104, the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 is also arranged with the north pole facing the display casing 104. Alternatively, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is disposed with the south pole facing the display housing 104, the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 is also disposed with the south pole facing the display housing 104.

図１４に示す（下・横）状態においては、磁気センサ１６０と下・横検出用磁石１６３とが対向して配置されることとなる。ここで、下・横検出用磁石１６３は、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石１６１が磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように磁極が配置される。つまり、下・縦検出用磁石１６２と下・横検出用磁石１６３の磁界の方向は反対方向となる。   In the (lower / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 14, the magnetic sensor 160 and the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 are arranged to face each other. Here, the magnetic poles of the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 are arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is opposite to the direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 in the vertical state. That is, the magnetic field directions of the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 and the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 are opposite to each other.

すなわち、縦横検出用磁石１６１を表示筐体１０４側にＮ極を向けて配置したときは、下・横検出用磁石１６３を表示筐体１０４側にＳ極を向けて配置する。あるいは、縦横検出用磁石１６１を表示筐体１０４側にＳ極を向けて配置したときは、下・横検出用磁石１６３を表示筐体１０４側にＮ極を向けて配置する。   That is, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is arranged with the north pole facing the display housing 104 side, the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 is arranged with the south pole facing the display housing 104 side. Alternatively, when the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 is disposed with the south pole facing the display housing 104 side, the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 is disposed with the north pole facing the display housing 104 side.

本実施の形態においては、磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向を検出することで、以下に示すように、（上・縦）状態、（上・横）状態、（下・縦）状態、（下・横）状態の４状態を検出することができる。なお、縦横検出用磁石１６１、下・縦検出用磁石１６２、及び、下・横検出用磁石１６３はいずれも同程度の磁を有するのものを使用する。   In the present embodiment, by detecting the intensity and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160, as shown below, the (up / vertical) state, (up / horizontal) state, (lower / vertical) state , (Bottom / horizontal) states can be detected. Note that the vertical and horizontal detection magnets 161, the lower and vertical detection magnets 162, and the lower and horizontal detection magnets 163 have the same degree of magnetism.

まず、図１１に示す（上・縦）状態においては、磁気センサ１６０は縦横検出用磁石１６１による磁界を検出する。このときの磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度を１、方向を＋とする（＋１）。   First, in the (upper / vertical) state shown in FIG. 11, the magnetic sensor 160 detects the magnetic field by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161. The intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 at this time is 1 and the direction is + (+1).

次に、図１２に示す（下・縦）状態においては、縦横検出用磁石１６１と下・縦検出用磁石１６２とが磁界を強め合うように磁極が配置されており、磁気センサ１６０がその上方に配置されるため、磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度は２となり、方向は＋である（＋２）。   Next, in the (lower / vertical) state shown in FIG. 12, the magnetic poles are arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 and the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 intensify the magnetic field, and the magnetic sensor 160 is positioned above the magnetic sensor 160. Therefore, the intensity of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 is 2, and the direction is + (+2).

一方、図１４に示す（下・横）状態においては、磁気センサ１６０は下・横検出用磁石１６３による磁界を検出する。このときの磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度は１であるが、下・横検出用磁石１６３の磁極は、縦状態において縦横検出用磁石１６１が磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように配置されているので、方向は−となる（−１）。   On the other hand, in the (lower / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 14, the magnetic sensor 160 detects the magnetic field generated by the lower / lateral detection magnet 163. At this time, the strength of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 is 1, but the magnetic poles of the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 are opposite to the direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 by the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 in the vertical state. Therefore, the direction is-(-1).

また、図１３に示す（上・横）状態においては、磁気センサ１６０にはいずれの磁石の磁界も作用しないため、磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度は０となる（±０）。   Further, in the (upper / horizontal) state shown in FIG. 13, since the magnetic field of any magnet does not act on the magnetic sensor 160, the strength of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 is 0 (± 0).

以上示したように、磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の強度及び方向が（−１）、（±０）、（＋１）、（＋２）のいずれであるかを検出することにより、（下・横）状態、（上・横）状態、（上・縦）状態、（下・縦）状態のいずれかであることを検出することができる。   As described above, by detecting whether the intensity and direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 is (−1), (± 0), (+1), or (+2), ) State, (upper / horizontal) state, (upper / vertical) state, and (lower / vertical) state can be detected.

このように、本実施形態においても、１つの磁気センサ１６０と３つの磁石を設けることで、スライド機構及び回転機構を有する電子機器において、（上・縦）状態、（上・横）状態、（下・縦）状態、（下・横）状態の４状態を検出することができ、少ない部品点数で筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。
また、縦横検出用磁石１６１と下・縦検出用磁石１６２とを磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界を強め合うように配置したので、磁界の強度によって筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。
また、下・横検出用磁石１６３を、磁極が縦状態において縦横検出用磁石１６１が磁気センサ１６０に作用する磁界の方向と反対方向となるように配置したので、磁界の強度によって筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。 As described above, also in this embodiment, by providing one magnetic sensor 160 and three magnets, in an electronic device having a slide mechanism and a rotation mechanism, (up / vertical) state, (up / horizontal) state, ( It is possible to detect the four states of the (bottom / vertical) state and the (bottom / horizontal) state, and it is possible to detect the positional relationship between the cases with a small number of parts.
Further, since the vertical / horizontal detection magnet 161 and the lower / vertical detection magnet 162 are arranged so as to intensify the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160, the arrangement relationship between the cases can be detected by the strength of the magnetic field.
Further, since the lower / horizontal detection magnets 163 are arranged so that the vertical / horizontal detection magnets 161 are opposite to the direction of the magnetic field acting on the magnetic sensor 160 when the magnetic poles are in the vertical state, the mutual strength of the magnetic fields increases The arrangement relationship can be detected.

なお、本実施形態においても、第１実施形態の変形例と同様に、（横）状態で上下状態を検知する必要がない場合には、下・横検出用磁石１６３を省略し、（横）状態、（上・縦）状態、（下・縦）状態の３状態を検出することができ、さらに少ない部品点数で筐体相互の配置関係を検出することができる。   In the present embodiment, similarly to the modification of the first embodiment, when it is not necessary to detect the up / down state in the (horizontal) state, the lower / horizontal detection magnet 163 is omitted, and (horizontal) The three states of the state, (upper / vertical) state, and (lower / vertical) state can be detected, and the arrangement relationship between the casings can be detected with a smaller number of parts.

以上の実施形態においては、電子機器として携帯電話機について説明したが、本発明はこれらに限られず、例えばＰＤＡ、電子手帳等といった表示筐体及び操作筐体を有するその他の電子機器にも適用することができる。   In the above embodiment, a mobile phone has been described as an electronic device.
