In a specific embodiment, the embodiment provides a mobile terminal. Specifically, the mobile terminal includes a body 1 and a joystick 2.

The body 1 is provided with a processor. Of course, the body 1 is also provided with a plurality of functional components correspondingly. The processor is used for core calculation processing to control various functional components. The general processor refers to the internal of the mobile terminal. The core processor, such as the CPU (central processing unit), the specific structure of the processor should be determined according to the needs of the mobile terminal. Specific functional components such as display screens, speakers and other components.

The joystick 2 can perform a plurality of different operation actions respectively based on different operations of the external object, and can form different control signals according to different operation actions. It should be noted that the structure of the specific joystick 2 can refer to the prior art. The general joystick 2 can include a base 21, a rod 22 connected to the base 21, and a sensor, and the sensor can be opposite according to the rod 22 Different control signals are formed at different positions of the base 21 or the force of the rod 22 is different, and the formed control signal can be emitted through the signal sending unit of the joystick 2, wherein the base 21 and the rod 22 can be The wire hinge or the ball joint can of course be other connection means, wherein one end of the rod 22 is provided with a manipulation end 23 for manipulation of an external object, that is, an external operation is received through the manipulation end 23. It should be noted that the specific structure of the joystick 2 may be as described above, but is not limited to the above-described structure.

And the signal receiving unit of the processor is connected to the signal sending unit of the joystick 2, so that the control signal generated by completing the corresponding operation action can be sent to the processor through the signal sending unit, so that the processor can be based on the received control. The signal performs the corresponding operation.

In this embodiment, in the mobile terminal, when the entertainment application software such as a game is opened on the mobile terminal, since the lever 22 of the joystick 2 has a certain extension with respect to the button of the flat structure, the grasping is convenient. Further, the operation is comfortable. In particular, since the operation mode of the joystick 2 is similar to that of the vehicle gear operating lever, the fidelity of the game operation can be greatly improved. For the general interface, since the joystick 2 has various operation actions, and thus can form a plurality of different control signals, it can adapt to more functional operations, and thus a certain number of function keys can be replaced by the joystick 2. , greatly reducing the number of surface buttons on the mobile terminal, making the overall smoother Smooth. In summary, the mobile terminal can effectively solve the problem that the number of keys of the mobile terminal in the prior art is large and the control feeling is not good.

In order to further improve the convenience of operation, the manipulation end 23 is required to protrude from the body 1 to facilitate the operation. However, this will greatly reduce the inconvenience of carrying, and at the same time effectively reduce the overall flatness. Based on this, it is preferred here to provide the body 3 with a recess 3, and the operating end 23 of the operating lever 2 is located in the recess 3, and can be extended and retracted, wherein the extending and retracting fingers can be extended. Out of the recess 3, it can also be retracted into the recess 3. Further, when the control signal input by the joystick 2 is required, the manipulation end 23 can be extended out of the groove 3 to facilitate the operation; when the operation is not required, the manipulation end 23 can be retracted to the groove 3 to It is avoided that the operating end 23 protrudes from the groove 3, which is not only convenient to carry but also effectively protects the operating lever 2. For the convenience of operation, the operating end 23 can be made spherical, and of course other shapes can be adopted.

Further, in which the extending and retracting of the manipulation end 23, a pushing force can be applied from the back of the mobile phone by an external object such as a finger to push out the manipulation end 23 of the joystick 2. It is also possible to articulate the lever 22 of the lever 2 to the body 1 to extend the recess 3 by rotation. However, such operation is not convenient enough, and the lever 22 of the joystick 2 is relatively prone to sway when carried. Based on this, a telescopic device can be provided to be able to drive the steering end 23 to be retracted into the recess 3 when the operating end 23 is in the extended state by the telescopic device, and to be able to drive the steering when the operating end 23 is in the retracted state. The end 23 projects from the notch of the recess 3. It should be noted that the telescopic device can be installed between the operating lever 2 and the body 1 , and can also be disposed between the operating end 23 of the operating lever 2 and the base 21 , and can be correspondingly configured according to the structure of the telescopic device. design.

Wherein the telescopic device may be a pressing ejecting device such that when pressed, it can be retracted and held in a retracted state by pressing, and in the retracted state, it can also be extended and held by pressing. In the extended state, the structure of the specific ejection device can refer to the self-locking principle of the self-locking switch, and can also refer to the pressing and stretching principle of the automatic pen. However, considering the compression of the ejection device, it is mainly driven by hand force, resulting in poor handling. Based on this, the telescopic device can be an electric telescopic device, that is, it can be automatically extended or automatically retracted by electric power.

It should be noted that, wherein the electric expansion device can be extended and retracted by a control button, and the specific control button can be a physical button or a virtual button, such as a touch display. In order to avoid the increase of the number of buttons, the physical button can be integrated into the joystick 2, or can be separately disposed on the mobile terminal housing. In one example, the physical button can be more specifically integrated into the operating end 23 of the joystick 2, since the operating end 23 will enter the recess with the retraction of the operating lever 2, in order to avoid access to the operating end 23 of the recess Receiving the external operation, the physical button can be set to a convex structure, so that when the manipulation end 23 is retracted to the groove, the button having the convex structure still protrudes from the notch of the groove, so as to facilitate receiving external operation. Certainly, the specific setting manner is not limited to the above description, and details are not described herein again. However, it is considered that each time the control button is manually operated, the manipulation of the mobile terminal becomes complicated and complicated. Based on this, the telescopic signal receiving unit and the control unit may be disposed on the telescopic device, wherein the telescopic signal receiving unit is configured to receive the telescopic signal emitted by the processor, wherein the telescopic signal is an extended signal or a retracted signal. In this way, the control unit can control the expansion and contraction of the telescopic device by means of the telescopic signal. Specifically, the control terminal 23 can be retracted when the display screen is turned off, or extended when an application is turned on, and automatically retracted when the application is closed.

As described above, the joystick 2 can be rotated, in particular, can be rotated only in one direction; it can also be rotated in two directions, such as forward rotation, backward rotation, and left rotation and right rotation; It can be rotated in either direction; it is also possible to perform a telescopic operation, for example, when the joystick 2 is pressed by a foreign object, the joystick 2 can be extended or retracted. More specifically, in one example, the base 21 of the joystick 2 is coupled to the lever 22 in a wire hinge to effect rotation of the joystick 2 in one direction; in another example, the joystick 2 is The connection of the base 21 to the rod 22 is a ball joint to enable the lever 2 to be rotated in either direction. In order to be able to form more control signals, the operating action of the joystick 2 may also include a moving operation. Wherein, the moving operation may include moving only in one direction, that is, linear movement, and may also include moving in multiple directions, such as forward translation, backward translation, rightward translation, or leftward translation. In order to enable the generated control signal to be more, it is preferred here that the operating action of the joystick 2 comprises a rotation in at least one direction and a movement in at least one direction. Specifically, in the game application, the operation object can be controlled in four directions of front, back, left, and right, and in the audio and video application, the sound can be adjusted by the operation of the front, back, left, and right directions, and the current playback. The video is adjusted for fast forward and backward.

For the convenience of operation, the joystick 2 can form more control signals, and the joystick 2 can be formed with different controls according to the operation direction, the magnitude of the operating force, and/or the number of operating forces. The signal, that is, when one or more of the operation direction, the operation force magnitude, and the number of operation forces are changed, different operation signals are formed, wherein the operation force is applied to the manipulation end 23 of the joystick 2 for completion. The force of an action action. Different control signals are formed by detecting different operating forces, that is, different control signals are divided according to the operating force. The specific dividing manner may include the following two types, one is hierarchical, specifically according to the operating force. Compare with the predetermined force size, and then divide into two control signals. Specifically, when playing video, apply a small force to the right, fast forward for 5 seconds, and when applying force to the right, fast forward for 10 seconds; It is a stepless division, and as the operation force increases, corresponding control signals are formed accordingly. The different control signals are formed by the number of operation forces. Specifically, whether the interval between the two consecutive operating forces meets the requirements is whether the control signal belongs to one control signal or two control signals, specifically, When playing a video, apply an operation force to the right for fast forward for 5 seconds, and when the operation force is applied twice to the right, fast forward for 10 seconds.

It should be noted that even if the operating force of the joystick 2 is different or the number of times is different, the final staying position of the joystick 2 can be the same, but this makes it difficult to directly pass the position of the joystick 2 during operation. To determine whether the received operation is a different operation and whether a different control signal can be formed. Based on this, it is preferable here that when the joystick 2 is different in the same direction by the magnitude of the operating force and/or the number of operating forces, the staying position of the lever 1 in the direction is different with respect to the body 1. Wherein, the position at which the joystick 2 stays can be embodied only by the position at which the operating end stays. The difference in the specific stopping position of the joystick 2 can be determined only according to the magnitude of the operating force, and can also be determined according to the number of operations. Of course, it can also be determined by combining the two. Specifically, when an operating force is applied, the larger the operating force, the larger the distance the joystick 2 moves in the direction; the smaller the operating force, the smaller the distance the joystick 2 moves in the direction. Optionally, each time the joystick 2 receives the same direction of operation, it moves forward once in the direction. Of course, the distance of each movement is also according to the stroke of the operating end of the joystick 2 in the direction. The scope is determined.

The various embodiments in the present specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on differences from other embodiments, and the same similar parts between the various embodiments may be referred to each other.

The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Many modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It is to be understood that the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but the scope of the invention is to be accorded
