BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0015] In order to more clearly understand the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling bending curvature of a flexible mobile phone according to the present invention.

[0017] Specifically, the flexible mobile phone has two states of use: a flat use state and a curved use state, the flat use state refers to the whole of the flexible mobile phone being in the same plane, and the curved use state means that the flexible mobile phone is in a bent state overall or partially. For example, the flexible phone is worn on the user's wrist after being bent. The present invention is for adjusting the bending curvature of a flexible handpiece in a bent state of use. The operating system of the flexible mobile phone includes but is not limited to the And roid operating system, the IOS operating system, the Windows phone operating system, and the like. The flexural curvature control method of the flexible mobile phone includes:

[0018] SO: Detect whether the flexible mobile phone is in a bent use state, and if yes, perform step S1.

[0019] SI: Determine whether a preset event occurs on the flexible mobile phone.

[0020] Specifically, the preset event may be set by a system or a user. The detection of the preset event can be implemented by a sensor or a signal detecting circuit. After detecting the preset event, the sensor and the signal detecting circuit generate a detection signal corresponding to the preset event, and send the detection signal to the processor for processing. Further, the preset event includes but is not limited to: the motion state of the flexible mobile phone reaches the preset motion state, the flexible mobile phone receives the preset information, and the flexible mobile phone receives the arc adjustment command, etc., which are respectively described below.

[0021] (a) The motion state of the flexible mobile phone reaches a preset motion state. The preset motion state includes, but is not limited to, a motion speed, an acceleration, a posture, and the like of the flexible mobile phone to reach a preset condition. The invention collects by sensor The current motion state of the flexible mobile phone, and comparing the current motion state with the preset motion state, determining whether the preset motion state is reached, and if so, a preset event occurs. For example, a preset acceleration is set, and the preset event is that the acceleration of the flexible mobile phone is greater than the preset acceleration. When it is detected that the acceleration of the flexible mobile phone is greater than the preset acceleration, a preset event occurs; when it is detected that the acceleration of the flexible mobile phone is less than or equal to the preset acceleration, the preset event does not occur.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment for detecting acceleration of a flexible mobile phone is presented. In this embodiment, the flexible mobile phone 10 is in a bent state and is worn on the wrist. The flexible mobile phone 10 integrates a three-axis acceleration sensor and establishes a corresponding rectangular coordinate system: the X axis is a parallel arm direction, the y axis is a vertical arm parallel to the palm direction, the z axis is a vertical arm penetrating the palm direction, and the arrow direction is a positive direction. The acceleration data detected by the triaxial acceleration sensor are Ax, Ay, Az. Obviously, the acceleration in the three axial directions has different effects on the firmness of the flexible mobile phone 10 on the wrist: the acceleration of the X-axis has the greatest influence on the fastness, the influence of the z-axis acceleration is the second, and the influence of the y-axis acceleration is the smallest, and other angles. The effects of rotation and the like are weak, and are ignored in this embodiment. In this way, the detachment parameter of the flexible mobile phone 10 that may be detached from the wrist can be obtained:

[0023] L = Px*Ax + Py*Ay + Pz*Az

[0024] wherein, Px, Py, and Pz are respectively three-axis acceleration influence factors, and the influence factors are related to the specific design of the product (length, width, height, weight, material, bending mode, etc.), and generally Px > Pz > Py. By detecting the acceleration of the flexible handpiece 10, the automatic adjustment of the bending curvature of the flexible handpiece 10 is realized, and the probability that the flexible handpiece 10 is detached from the user's wrist is reduced, and the wearing comfort and stability can be considered at the same time.

[0025] (b) The flexible mobile phone 10 receives the preset information. The preset information includes but is not limited to: application message, short message, caller information, reminder information, and the like. For example, WeChat, Alipay and other applications receive reminders of application messages, alarms, schedules, etc. Further, the preset information may be classified, and the application messages received by different applications generate different detection signals, different short messages generate different detection signals, different incoming calls generate different detection signals, and different reminders generate different signals. Detection signal. After the different detection signals are processed by the processor, different control signals are generated, and then the flexible mobile phone 10 is controlled to adjust the corresponding bending curvature, so that the user can accurately know the corresponding preset event through the feeling of the wrist.

(c) The flexible handpiece 10 receives the arc adjustment command. The arc adjustment command may be generated after receiving a touch operation through the touch screen of the flexible mobile phone 10, or received by a physical button, or passed The camera captures a gesture action, or receives a voice command through a microphone, or receives an external arc adjustment command by wire or wirelessly.

[0027] S2: If a preset event occurs in the flexible mobile phone 10, the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 is adjusted according to the preset event.

[0028] Specifically, the corresponding relationship between the preset event and the curved radiance value, the preset event, and the curved radiance adjustment mode needs to be set in advance in the flexible mobile phone 10, and the corresponding relationship is manually set by the system setting or the user, and stored in the flexible mobile phone. In the storage unit of 10, after the preset event occurs, the flexible mobile phone 10 is adjusted correspondingly by the correspondence. If a preset event is detected, a corresponding detection signal is generated, and the detection signal is processed by the processor to generate a control signal for controlling the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10, and the bending curvature control module of the flexible mobile phone 10 controls the corresponding according to the control signal. The curvature of the flexible handpiece 10 is adjusted.

[0029] Further, the present invention can adjust various modes after adjusting the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10, including but not limited to:

[0030] Adjustment mode 1: increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to a first preset radiance value. Further, the first preset arc can be divided into multiple levels to realize stepwise increase of the first preset radian value of the flexible mobile phone 10; the first preset radian value can be set by the system or the user.

[0031] Adjustment mode 2: The bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 is reduced to a second preset radiance value. Further, the second preset arc can be divided into multiple levels to realize a stepwise reduction of the second preset radian value of the flexible mobile phone 10; the second preset radian value can be set by the system or the user.

[0032] The adjustment mode 3: after increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radiance value, reducing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the second preset radiance value;

[0033] adjusting mode 4: after reducing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the second preset radiance value, increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radiance value;

[0034] Adjustment mode 5: Repeat the adjustment mode 3 and the adjustment mode 4 to achieve repeated increase and decrease the bending curvature of the flexible handpiece 10.

[0035] It should be noted that, in the process of increasing or decreasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10, the bending curvature of the whole flexible mobile phone 10 can be uniformly adjusted, and the local bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 can also be adjusted. Increasing the curvature of the curvature enables the flexible handpiece 10 to be closer to the user's wrist, and reducing the curvature of the curvature allows the flexible handpiece 10 to be further away from the user's wrist. [0036] Further, increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radian value comprises: increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radian value and continuing the preset time, the preset inter-turn system Or user settings, set different presets, can produce a variety of adjustment methods. After the preset daytime is maintained, the bending curvature of the flexible handpiece 10 can be reduced, or the bending curvature of the flexible handpiece 10 can be continuously increased.

[0037] Further, increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radian value comprises: increasing the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 to the first preset radian value and maintaining until the release signal is received. After the release signal is received, the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 can be reduced, or the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10 can be continuously increased. The release signal is generated by the application, or the touch screen receives a touch operation, or is received by a physical button, or generated by a camera to collect a gesture, or received by a microphone, or received by wire or wirelessly. Foreign radian adjustment commands, etc. For example, the flexible mobile phone 10 has an incoming call 吋, increasing the bending curvature to the first preset radiance value and maintaining, and the user feels that the flexible mobile phone 10 performs the answering or rejecting the incoming call operation after pressing the wrist, and generates a release signal, the flexible mobile phone 10 Restore to the original curvature.

[0038] Alternatively, since each person's wrist has a difference in shape and thickness, it is preferable to set a reasonable curvature according to each user. In the process of adjusting the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10, the pressure sensor detects the pressure value of the flexible mobile phone 10, and monitors whether the pressure value of the flexible mobile phone 10 reaches the preset pressure value, and if so, stops adjusting the flexible mobile phone 10. Curved curvature. For example, the preset pressure value includes a first preset pressure value and a second preset pressure value, the flexible mobile phone 10 is at the first preset pressure value 吋, the flexible mobile phone 10 is in a pressed state relative to the wrist; the flexible mobile phone 10 is in the second state. The preset pressure value 吋, the relaxed state of the flexible handpiece 10 relative to the wrist. Through the pressure value of the flexible mobile phone 10 to control the adjustment process of the bending curvature, it is suitable to stop the arc adjustment, thereby automatically adapting to the wrist of different users. Preferably, the pressure sensor is disposed on the back of the flexible mobile phone 10 (ie, on the inner side, close to the side of the user's wrist), and a plurality of pressure sensors may be disposed to respectively detect the pressure values of different parts, combined with the maximum pressure value, the minimum pressure value, The average pressure value or the like calculates the sensed pressure value, thereby controlling the bending curvature adjustment of the flexible handpiece 10.

In summary, the present invention provides a plurality of flexural adjustment modes of the flexible mobile phone 10. Different adjustment modes may correspond to different preset events, and the correspondence between the preset event and the curved curvature adjustment mode may be set by the system or manually by the user. The setting enables more flexible control of the flexible mobile phone 10 and improves the user experience.

[0040] To illustrate the bending curvature adjustment process of the flexible mobile phone 10, the present invention provides two bending curvature control modules. Line description.

[0041] First Embodiment: Referring to FIG. 3a, FIG. 3b and FIG. 3c, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of a first curvature control module 20 of the present invention.

3a is a side view of the flexible cellular phone 10, and FIG. 3b is a top view of the flexible mobile phone 10. As shown in the figure, the first arc control module 20 is disposed on the left and right sides of the flexible mobile phone 10. The first arc control module 20 can uniformly embed a plurality of soft deformable plastic bodies of the flexible arc control module. The first arc control module 20 The deformation 吋 occurs, causing the flexible mobile phone 10 to deform.

[0043] FIG. 3c is a schematic structural diagram of the first arc control module 20, that is, the first arc control module 20 is composed of a micro motor 201 and two robot arms 202, and the angle between the two robot arms 202 is controlled by the micro motor 201. The rotation of the micro motor 201 drives the robot arm 202 to move, thereby adjusting the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10. For example, when the flexible handpiece 10 needs to be contracted, the processor controls the motor of all the arc control modules to rotate forward to reduce the angle of the robot arm 202, and the first curvature control module 20 increases the bending curvature as a whole. When the flexible mobile phone 10 needs to perform the arc recovery, the processor controls the motor of all the arc control modules to reverse the angle of the mechanical arm 202, and the first arc control module 20 reduces the bending curvature as a whole. Further, the single micro motor 201 has two control pins, and the high level input of one of the pins controls the direction of the motor to be forward, and the angle between the two robot arms 202 becomes smaller, and the other one has a high power. The flat input controls the direction of the motor to reverse, and the angle between the two robot arms 202 becomes larger. Preferably, the maximum angle between the two robot arms 202 is 180 degrees, and the mobile phone is in a straight state, and the minimum angle between the two robot arms 202 is mechanically limited according to the actual shape of the flexible mobile phone 10, generally Not more than 120 degrees.

[0044] Second Embodiment: Referring to FIG. 4, it is a schematic structural diagram of a second curvature control module 30 of the present invention.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 4, it is a side view of the flexible mobile phone 10 bent. A second arc control module 30 is disposed at the top and bottom of the flexible mobile phone 10. The second arc control module 30 includes two electromagnetic chucks. When the flexible mobile phone 10 is in a bent state, the positions of the two electromagnetic chuck modules are exactly opposite. It can be understood that the two electromagnetic chucks are attracted to each other after being energized, and the greater the driving current of the electromagnetic chuck, the greater the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic chuck module, and the mutual attraction force of the corresponding two suction cups is larger. The bending force between the two electromagnetic chucks is changed by controlling the operating current of the two electromagnetic chucks, thereby adjusting the bending curvature of the flexible mobile phone 10. For example, when the flexible mobile phone 10 is worn, increasing the suction force reduces the spacing between the top and bottom of the mobile phone, and the flexible mobile phone 10 will contract as a whole, and the pressure at the user's wrist will become larger. Decreasing the adsorption force will increase the top and bottom of the phone. The distance between the mobile phones will expand as a whole, and the pressure on the user's wrist will become smaller. In this way, the software can change the pressure on the wrist of the user in the wearing mode by changing the driving current of the electromagnetic chuck module.
