detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a portable electronic device and a protective case provided by the present application. As shown on the left side of FIG. 1, the portable electronic device can be a mobile phone, and exemplary can also be a tablet computer, a camera, or the like. The right side of Figure 1 is a protective case that can be placed on the mobile phone and covers the back of the mobile phone. It can be used for aesthetics and protection of portable electronic devices. The protective case may also include an upper cover or an upper case covering the front of the mobile phone, and the upper cover may be opened when the user uses it. The protective case may also refer to a detachable back cover or rear case of the electronic device. The material of the protective shell can be metal, plastic, wood, glass, leather, and the like. Mobile phone cases of different materials, styles and sizes have different effects on the heat dissipation effect of electronic devices. The temperature adjustment strategy of existing portable electronic devices does not take into account changes in the heat dissipation capability caused by changes in the material of the protective case or the protective cover of the user. The problem that the temperature of the user's contact with the electronic device is too high. For example, the protective material of the metal material has good thermal conductivity. When the electronic equipment runs more procedures and the temperature rises, the temperature of the protective shell directly contacted by the user also rises, causing the temperature of the electronic equipment to rise without affecting the performance. At the same time, the user feels that the electronic device is too hot and affects the use experience. In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device provided by the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 1 of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the portable electronic device includes: a sensor 101 and a processor 102 connected to the sensor 101; wherein

The sensor 101 is configured to acquire information related to a type of a protective shell of the electronic device, and different types of protective shells correspond to different thermal conductivity properties;

The processor 102 is configured to receive information, determine a type of the protective shell according to the information, and obtain, according to a correspondence between the type of the pre-configured protective shell and the temperature control configuration information, the first temperature control configuration information corresponding to the type of the protective shell, according to The first temperature control configuration information adjusts the temperature of the electronic device.

Specifically, the electronic device includes a connected sensor 101 and a processor 102. The sensor 101 may exemplarily be a sensing device such as a resistance detector, an electromagnetic sensor, a pressure sensor, or the like for acquiring information on the type of the protective case currently installed on the electronic device. Exemplarily, it may be information for obtaining a resistance value, a magnetic value, an elasticity value, and the like which are reflected according to the material of the protective case. The processor 102 is illustratively a central processing unit of a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The processor 102 is configured to determine the type of the protective case according to the information provided by the sensor 101, and determine a temperature control adjustment scheme corresponding to the current type of the protective case. . Exemplarily, when the temperature control adjustment mode is to adjust voltage, current, operating frequency, such as clock frequency, etc., the processor 102 is a temperature controlled actuator. Alternatively, the actuator for performing the temperature control scheme determined by the processor 102 may be separated from the processor 102. Exemplaryly, it may be a heat sink, a voltage/current regulator, a clock controller, or the like.

Exemplarily, the information acquired by the sensor 101 is used to reflect the type of the protective case of the electronic device, and the type of the protective case represents the thermal conductivity of the protective case. Exemplarily, the type of the protective shell can be divided according to the thermal conductivity of the protective shell, and can also be directly divided according to the material of the protective shell, such as glass, leather, plastic, metal, and the like. For example, when the sensor 101 detects that the material of the current protective casing of the electronic device is made of a metal material, the sensor 101 uses the metal material as the type of the protective casing, and further determines the subsequent temperature control scheme according to the type of the protective casing. Optionally, when the type of the protective case is divided by the thermal conductivity, the type of the protective case can be divided into a high thermal conductivity type and a low thermal conductivity type. The sensor 101 or the processor 102 can also correct the thermal conductivity of the protective shell according to factors such as the shape and thickness of the obtained protective shell, and then determine the type of the protective shell.

In a possible solution, the information acquired by the sensor 101 includes indication information indicating the type of the protective case. The sensor 101 is specifically configured to collect parameters for identifying the type of the protective shell, determine the type of the protective shell according to the parameters, and generate indication information according to the type of the protective shell. The processor 102 acquires the type of the protective shell according to the received indication information. In another possible solution, the information acquired by the sensor 101 includes parameters for identifying the type of the protective case, and the sensor 101 is specifically used to collect parameters. The processor 102 is specifically configured to determine the type of the protective shell according to the parameters. Therefore, the operation of identifying the type of protective case can be performed by either of the sensor 101 or the processor 102. The sensor 101 can selectively feed back indication information of the type of the protective casing or only feedback parameters for identifying the type of the protective casing, such as various types of parameters mentioned in the subsequent embodiments.

After obtaining the type of the protective shell, the processor 102 may determine the first temperature control configuration information corresponding to the type of the protective shell according to the correspondence between the type of the protective shell and the temperature control configuration information stored in advance. The processor 102 stores a comparison table of the type of the protective case and the temperature control configuration information. For example, the comparison table may be as shown in the following table. The plurality of temperature control configuration information that may be included in the comparison table includes the first temperature control configuration information. It should be noted that the corresponding relationship may have various forms, and the response is different protection shell types and corresponding temperature control matching information, that is, the correspondence relationship between the temperature control schemes, not only limited to the table form. This correspondence can be set by engineers in the field according to actual experience or according to the results of actual tests or computer simulations. In general, the temperature control scheme corresponding to the protective shell that is more likely to transmit or express heat is more highly adjusted, that is, a greater degree of temperature control is performed.

Protective case type temperature control configuration information

Plastic working frequency is reduced to f1

Glass working frequency is reduced to f2

Metal operating frequency reduced to f3

Where f1, f2, and f3 are positive real numbers, and f1>f2>f3 respectively correspond to an operating frequency at which the temperature of the protective case is controlled at t1, t2, and t3, and t1>t2>t3.

The above table exemplarily shows the temperature control configuration information corresponding to each of the protective shells in different materials, wherein the metal has the strongest thermal conductivity and the weakest thermal conductivity of the plastic. Referring to the above table, the corresponding temperature control configuration information is different according to the type of the protective shell, and the different temperature control configuration information may include different parameters. For example, when the material of the protective shell is metal, the thermal conductivity of the metal is strong. When the temperature of the electronic device rises only a little, the temperature of the protective shell also rises immediately, and the user can immediately feel the electronic when using the electronic device. The device is hot. Therefore, the adjustment of the corresponding temperature control configuration information is large, and the operating frequency of the electronic device can be lowered to a lower value f3.

Optionally, the temperature control measures in the temperature control configuration information may also be different. For example, when the material of the protective case is plastic, the temperature control measure is to adjust the working frequency of the processor according to the temperature of the protective case; when the protective case is When the material is metal, the temperature control measure is to adjust the working voltage according to the temperature adaptability of the protective shell, and appropriately close part of the heat sink with more heat.

When the processor 102 determines the first temperature control configuration information, the processor 102 adjusts the temperature of the electronic device according to the determined first temperature control configuration information. Considering that the temperature control adjustment is mainly to prevent overheating, the temperature control configuration information can be simplified to indicate only the cooling measures according to the type of the protective case. Optionally, different temperature control measures corresponding to different types of protective shells may be stored in the processor 102, and the temperature control measures may be specifically adjusted according to the current temperature of the electronic device.

The present application sets different temperature control configuration information for different thermal conductivity of the current protective shell of the electronic device, and considers the influence of the protective shell on the heat dissipation of the electronic device during the temperature adjustment process, thereby ensuring the temperature adjustment effect.

The manner of acquiring the type of the protective case of the electronic device provided by the present application is described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments. A possible way of acquiring the type of protective casing: the inductor comprises an electromagnetic sensor; the parameters collected by the electromagnetic sensor comprise the magnetic value of the protective casing. The electromagnetic sensor is connected to the processor 102.

Exemplarily, the electromagnetic sensor is specifically configured to detect the magnetic value of the protective shell, determine the type of the protective shell according to the magnetic value of the protective shell, generate indication information according to the type of the protective shell, and send the indication information to the processor.

Specifically, the inductor is an electromagnetic sensor, and the electromagnetic sensor is used to detect the magnetic value of the protective shell. The magnetic properties of the protective shells of different materials are different, so the material of the protective shell can be determined by detecting the magnetic properties of the protective shell. An electromagnetic sensor is coupled to the processor 102 for transmitting a type of protective casing determined from the detected magnetic information of the protective casing to the processor 102.

Exemplarily, the magnetic information of the detected protective case may also be sent by the electromagnetic sensor to the processor 102, and the processor 102 acquires the type of the protective case of the electronic device according to the magnetic information of the protective case. Exemplarily, the processor 102 can store a comparison table between the magnetic value of the protective shell and the protective shell material. When the processor 102 receives the magnetic value of the protective shell sent by the electromagnetic sensor, the material of the protective shell is determined according to the magnetic value. At this time, the material of the protective shell can be directly used to represent the type of the protective shell, and then the corresponding temperature control configuration information is determined according to the material of the protective shell. Among them, the electromagnetic sensor can be designed according to the actual electronic device structure, and is disposed at any position on the electronic device. The electromagnetic sensor can be selected from the existing electromagnetic magnetic measuring sensor.

Another possible type of acquisition of the protective casing: the inductor includes a resistance detector; the parameters collected by the resistance detector include the resistance of the protective casing. The resistance detector is connected to the processor 102.

Exemplarily, the resistance detector is specifically configured to detect the resistance value of the protective shell, determine the type of the protective shell according to the resistance value of the protective shell, generate indication information according to the type of the protective shell, and send the indication information to the processor.

Specifically, the inductor is a resistance detector, and the resistance detector is used for detecting the resistance value of the protective shell. The resistance values of the protective shells of different materials are different, so the material of the protective shell can be determined by detecting the resistance value of the protective shell. The material of the protective case can be determined directly by the resistance detector according to the magnitude of the resistance value.

Exemplarily, the resistance value of the detected protective case can also be sent to the processor 102 by the resistance detector, so that the processor 102 determines the type of the protective case of the electronic device according to the resistance value of the protective case.

Exemplarily, the processor 102 can store a comparison table of the protective shell resistance value and the protective shell material. When the processor 102 receives the resistance value of the protective shell sent by the resistance detector, the material of the protective shell is determined according to the resistance value. At this time, the material of the protective shell is used to represent the type of the protective shell, and then the corresponding temperature control configuration information is determined according to the material of the protective shell.

Illustratively, the resistance detector can be disposed at the charging pin interface of the charging base of the electronic device, and the resistance detector can also be disposed at any position on the electronic device according to the actual electronic device structure, and the resistance detector needs to be protected with the protective case. Contact connection.

A further way of obtaining the type of protective casing: the inductor comprises a plurality of connection points arranged on the casing of the electronic device, and different combinations of connection points are suitable for different types of protective shells, and the parameters collected by the inductor are The combination of connection points used by the protective case.

Exemplarily, the sensor is configured to detect the use state of each connection point of the electronic device, and determine the type of the protective case according to the combination of connection points used by the protective case. Specifically, when the electronic device is manufactured, a plurality of connection points may be preset on the housing of the electronic device, and different connection points are used to set different protection shells, or different connection point combinations are used for different protections. shell. When the protective case is generated, the protective case that is stuck at different connection points can be generated according to the material of the protective cover. The sensor only needs to detect the connection status of each connection point, and then determine the material of the protective case used by the user at this time, and also determine the type of the protective case that the user uses at this time.

Illustratively, the sensor can detect the pressure state of each connection point. If there is pressure, it indicates that the protection shell uses the connection point to determine the connection state of each connection point. Optionally, the protective case can be carded with the electronic device through the cassette structure. Further, different card depths can be set for different material protection shells, even when different protection shells use the same connection point, the material of the protection shell can be determined according to the pressure state detected by the sensor at the connection point. .

A further way of obtaining the type of protective casing: the sensor comprises a pressure sensor, and the parameters collected by the pressure sensor include the elastic properties of the protective casing. Wherein, the pressure sensor is connected to the processor.

Illustratively, the pressure sensor is configured to detect the elastic performance of the protective case, obtain the type of the protective case of the electronic device according to the elastic performance of the protective case, generate indication information according to the type of the protective case, and send the indication information to the processor.

Specifically, the sensor is a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is used for detecting the elastic performance of the protective shell. The elastic properties of the protective shells of different materials are different, so the material of the protective shell can be determined by detecting the elastic performance of the protective shell, for example, the elastic property of the plastic. Better than metal and glass. The material of the protective shell can be determined directly by the pressure sensor according to the elastic properties of the protective shell.

Exemplarily, the elastic performance of the detected protective case can also be transmitted to the processor 102 by the pressure sensor, so that the processor 102 acquires the type of the protective case of the electronic device according to the elastic performance of the protective case.

Exemplarily, the processor 102 can store a comparison table of the protective shell elastic performance and the protective shell material. When the processor 102 receives the elastic performance of the protective shell sent by the pressure sensor, the material of the protective shell is determined according to the elastic performance. The material of the protective shell is used to represent the type of the protective shell, and then the corresponding temperature control configuration information is determined according to the material of the protective shell.

Wherein, the pressure sensor can be disposed at any position on the electronic device according to the structure of the actual electronic device, and the pressure sensor needs to be in contact with the protective shell to detect the elasticity of the protective shell.

Another possible way to obtain the type of protective casing is that the sensor is a temperature sensor; the parameters collected by the temperature sensor include the amount of temperature change of the electronic device for a preset period of time. The temperature sensor is connected to the processor.

Illustratively, the temperature sensor is configured to monitor a temperature change of the electronic device for a preset duration, determine a type of the protective shell according to a temperature change amount of the electronic device within a preset duration, and generate an indication according to the type of the protective shell, and Send the indication to the processor.

Specifically, the sensor is a temperature sensor, and the number of the temperature sensors may be multiple. Each temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature change of the electronic device for a preset period of time. When the protective shells disposed on the electronic device are different, the temperature changes of the electronic device within a preset duration are different. For example, when the protective case is a metal protective cover with better heat dissipation capability, when the user frequently uses the electronic device, the temperature of the electronic device does not change much within a preset period of time, and the heat generated by the operation of the device can be dissipated through the protective case. When the protective case is a plastic protective cover with poor heat dissipation capability, when the user frequently uses the electronic device, the heat generated by the operation of the device cannot be dissipated through the protective case, thereby causing the temperature of the electronic device to rise within a preset period of time. Higher. Therefore, the protective casing that is sheathed on the current electronic device can be determined by monitoring the amount of temperature change of the electronic device within a preset period of time.

Exemplarily, the detected temperature change amount may also be sent to the processor 102 by the temperature sensor, so that the processor 102 acquires the type of the protective case of the electronic device according to the temperature change amount.

Optionally, a plurality of temperature sensors may be disposed on the electronic device, and each of the temperature sensors may be disposed at any position on the electronic device according to a specific structure of the electronic device.

Optionally, the foregoing embodiments of the manner of acquiring the type of the protective shell of the electronic device may be combined at the same time and performed simultaneously to improve the accuracy of the detection of the protective shell type.

A further way of obtaining the type of protective casing: the processor 102 obtains the type of protective casing input by the user.

Optionally, the type of the protective case can be directly input by the user, so that the processor 102 selects the temperature control configuration information according to the type. Further, the temperature control configuration information may also be directly set by the user, and the processor 102 executes the temperature control configuration information set by the user.

Further, based on any of the above embodiments, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to Embodiment 2 of the present application. Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device further includes: a display or a speaker; and the processor is connected to the display or the speaker;

The display or the speaker is configured to: after the processor acquires the first temperature control configuration information corresponding to the type of the protective shell, output a temperature adjustment reminding information, where the temperature adjustment reminding information is used to indicate whether the user selects whether to perform the temperature adjusting operation;

The processor 102 is specifically configured to adjust the temperature of the electronic device according to the first temperature control configuration information after the user selects to perform the temperature adjustment operation. The user can make the selection by a unified user interface (UI) to instruct the processor 102 to perform the adjustment.

Specifically, after determining the corresponding first temperature control configuration information according to the type of the protective shell, the processor may send the temperature adjustment reminding information to the user through the display or the speaker, where the temperature adjustment reminding information is used to indicate whether the user selects whether to perform the temperature adjustment operation. The temperature adjustment reminding information may further include specific first temperature control configuration information, and the user may select to perform temperature adjustment or no temperature adjustment according to actual needs.
