Description

电子设备
本申请要求于2018年3月19日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201810224500.1、名称为“电子设备”的中国发明专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电子产品领域,特别涉及一种电子设备。
背景技术
随着电子设备(例如,智能手机或平板电脑等)的不断演进与发展,电子设备的屏幕越来越大,它所具有的功能也越发丰富。
然而,随着电子设备的屏幕的增大,将给用户带来诸多不便,例如,体积大、不便携带等。
一种解决办法为在保证电子设备的体积不变的情况下,提高电子设备的屏占比。在电子设备的屏占比较大时,即使该电子设备拥有较大屏幕,也可以拥有相对较小体积。因此,实现全面屏即屏占比接近或达到100%成为研究的热点。
然而,现有电子设备中由于一些功能器件的限制,使得目前已有的电子设备的屏占比都较小,难以满足用户的需求。
因此,如何提高电子设备的屏占比,成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种电子设备,该电子设备可以拥有较高的屏占比。
第一方面,提供了一种电子设备,该电子设备包括:可折叠的显示屏、折叠转轴和至少一个摄像头;
所述显示屏包括第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域;
所述折叠转轴用于将所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域折叠或展开;
所述至少一个摄像头设置在所述第一子显示区域的背面;
在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于折叠状态时,所述第一子显示区域的背面和所述第二子显示区域的背面相对,所述至少一个摄像头用于所述第二子显示区域的前置摄像头。
具体而言,本申请实施例的电子设备在显示屏的背面设置摄像头,而没有在显示屏的正面设置摄像头,由于本申请实施例由于没有在屏幕的正面设置摄像头,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
进一步的,由于该至少一个摄像头能够用于第二子显示区域的前摄像头,也就是说该至少一个摄像头能够支持在第二子显示区域上的自拍功能。
因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够在不设置显示屏正面的摄像头的前提下,支持自拍功能。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备既能支持自拍功能,也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
应理解,本申请实施例中,第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态(即两个子显示区域的夹角为360度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于折叠状态或者该电子设备处 理折叠状态;第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于展开状态(两个子显示区域的夹角为180度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于展开状态或该电子设备处于展开状态;第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)(即两个子显示区域的夹角大于180度且小于360度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)或该电子设备处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)。本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解本申请实施例中的第一子显示区域也可以称为第一显示区域,第二子显示区域也可以称为第二显示区域,本申请实施例并不限于此。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于展开状态时,所述显示屏整体的显示区域的面积与所述显示屏所在的所述电子设备的第一端面的面积的比值大于第一屏占比,所述显示屏整体的显示区域包括所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域。
具体而言,该第一屏占比可以为90%、95%或98%等,本申请实施例并不限于此。也就是说本申请实施例中在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于展开状态时,该电子设备的屏占比大于第一屏占比。
具体而言,由于本申请实施例中在该电子设备展开状态下,屏幕尺寸会变大,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户大屏幕的需求,进一步地,该本申请实施例的电子设备的四边的屏幕都可以极致到产品的外观边缘。例如该电子设备的屏占比可以达到或者接近100%。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户对全面屏的需求。
再者,又由于本申请实施例的电子设备的显示屏可以折叠,使得该电子设备的体积相对较小,进而可以便于用户携带,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备在展开状态下能满足用户对大屏的需求,又能在折叠状态下便于携带,能够提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于折叠状态时,所述第一子显示区域的面积与所述第一子显示区域所在的所述电子设备的第二端面(也可以称为所述电子设备折叠状态时的正面)的面积的比值(即该电子设备在折叠状态时的屏占比)大于第二屏占比。
具体而言,该第二屏占比可以为90%、95%或98%等,本申请实施例并不限于此。也就是说本申请实施例中在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于折叠状态时,该电子设备的正面的屏占比大于第二屏占比,例如该电子设备的正面的屏占比可以达到或者接近100%。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户对全面屏的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一子显示区域的面积大于所述第二子显示区域的面积,
在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于折叠状态时,所述至少一个摄像头位于所述第一子显示区域的第一子背面区域,
所述第一子显示区域的背面包括所述第一子背面区域和第二子背面区域,所述第一子背面区域包括所述第一子显示区域的背面中未与所述第二子显示区域背面重合的区域,所述第二子背面区域包括所述第一子显示区域的背面中与所述第二子显示区域背面重合的区域。
具体而言,本申请实施例在第一子显示区域的背面设置该至少一个摄像头,在该显示屏处于展开状态时,该至少一个摄像头可以用于后置摄像头。在该显示屏处于折叠状态时,由于该至少一个摄像头具体设置在两个子显示区域为重合的区域即第一子背面区域。因此,该 至少一个摄像头即可以用于第一子显示区域的后置摄像头;也可以用于第二子显示区域的前置摄像头。换句话说,本申请实施例中的该至少一个摄像头既可以用于后置摄像头,也可以用于前置摄像头进行自拍。
由于本申请实施例中设置在该第一子显示区域背面的至少一个摄像头可以两用,即可以当做后置摄像头也可以当做前置摄像头。因此,本申请实施例可以无需再单独摄像前摄像头,因此,本申请实施例能够不设置显示屏正面的摄像头的前提下,支持自拍功能。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备既能支持自拍功能,也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二子背面区域以及所述第二子显示区域对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第一厚度值;
所述第一子背面区域对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度为第二厚度值,所述第二厚度值大于或等于所述第一厚度值。
例如,该第二厚度值与该第一厚度值相等,也就是说在展开状态下,整个电子设备的机身厚度都相同。由于整个电子设备的机身相同,因此,本申请实施例在展开状态下,电子设备的四个边缘的厚度相同,使得用户持拿该电子设备比较舒适,不会存在突兀感,能够提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二厚度值为所述第一厚度值的二倍。
本申请实施例中由于第二厚度值为第一厚度值的二倍,因此,本申请实施例在电子设备折合状态时,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域重合的部分对应的电子设备的厚度为第一厚度值的两倍,即等于第二厚度值。也就是说,在折叠状态下,该电子设备的整体厚度都相同,即都为第二厚度值,由于整个电子设备的机身相同,因此,本申请实施例在折叠状态下,电子设备的四个边缘的厚度相同,使得用户持拿该电子设备比较舒适,不会存在突兀感,能够提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一子背面区域包括第一区域和第二区域,其中,所述至少一个摄像头设置在所述第一区域中,
所述第二区域、所述第二子背面区域以及所述第二子显示区域对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第三厚度值;
所述第一区域对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第四厚度值,所述第四厚度值大于或等于所述第三厚度值。
例如,在展开状态下,该第一区域为包括该电子设备背部的四个角中的一个角的一部分区域,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,该第四厚度值大于该第三厚度值,例如,该第四厚度值为该第三厚度值的两倍,本申请实施例并不限于此。具体地,在第四厚度大于第三厚度时,在展开状态下,整个机身厚度除第一区域对应的厚度较厚之外,其余部分的机身厚度均相等。由于该第一区域的面积较小,因此,在展开状态下,仅有一小部分区域即设置有该至少一个摄像头的第一区域为凸起部分,由于该部分比较小,并且该凸起部分仅设置在一个角落处,因此,本申请实施例在展开状态下,不会影响用户持拿该电子设备的舒适性,能够提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述显示屏为柔性材料制作的柔性屏。
这种情况下,该显示屏可以为一个整体,即该第一子显示区域和该第二子显示区域不可以拆分,其为一个整体,该显示屏在折叠转轴的作用下可以折叠和展开。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述显示屏为非柔性材料制作的。例如,该显示屏也可以为普通的显示屏,例如为液晶显示屏(liquid crystal display,LCD)、有源矩阵有机发光二极体面板(active-matrix organic light emitting diode,AMOLED)或有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)等,本申请实施例并不限于此。这种情况下,该第一子显示区域和该第二子显示区域为两个独立的显示屏。该第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域可以在折叠转轴的作用下可以折叠在一起,或者展开处于同一平面。在展开状态下,该两个独立的显示屏可以组合成一个大的显示屏,以满足用户对大屏的需求。本申请实施例并不限于此。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述显示屏用于震动发声。
换句话说,本申请实施例的电子设备可以支持屏幕发声,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备可以无需设置听筒,由于无需设置听筒,因此,该电子设备的正面无需预留听筒空间,因此,本申请实施例中的显示屏可以具有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述折叠转轴还用于将所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于半展开状态,
在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于半展开状态时,所述第一子显示区域的第一侧边和所述第二子显示区域的第二侧边用于放置在同一平面,以支撑所述电子设备,所述第一侧边和所述第二侧边为相离的两个侧边。
具体而言,在半展开状态下,该第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域可以互相支撑,以固定在同一平面(例如,固定在餐桌、办公桌、展销台上等)。通常现有电子设备需要再配一个支架才能立住。而本申请实施例中在半展开状态下,两个子显示区域可以互相支撑,因此,本申请实施例而无需单独的支撑架既可实现电子设备的站立,以使得该电子设备用于播放电影、当做日历、工作台等场景,能够提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述电子设备还包括:
检测模块,用于检测所述电子设备的状态,所述电子设备的状态包括所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的展折状态,以及所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的空间位置关系;
处理模块,用于根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体地,该展折状态可以包括折叠状态、展开状态和半展开状态。该空间位置关系可以包括第一子显示区域朝上且所述第二子显示区域朝下,第一子显示区域朝下且所述第二子显示区域朝上,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域朝向同一方向,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域的朝向具有夹角(即该两个子显示区域处于半展开状态),其中该夹角取值为大于180且小于360度。
因此,本申请实施例中处理模块可以根据检测模块检测的电子设备的状态自动的确定显示屏的显示形式,即控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域中的一个或两个显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例中的电子设备能够人性化的确定显示屏的显示形式,能够根据用户对电子设备的显示屏的翻转等动作,相应的确定对应的显示形式,因此,能够提升用 户体验。
应理解,本申请实施例中的检测模块可以包括重力检测装置、折叠转轴检测装置等,本申请实施例并不限于此。其中,重力检测装置可以检测该空间位置关系,折叠转轴检测装置可以检测折叠转轴的状态,进而可以检测到上述的第一显示屏和第二显示屏的折展状态,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,本申请实施例的处理模块可以为处理器,该处理模块可以根据检测模块检测的电子设备的状态确定电子设备的显示形式,本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选的,本申请实施例中处理器可包括一个或多个处理单元;优选的,处理器可集成应用处理器和调制解调处理器,其中,应用处理器主要处理操作系统、用户界面和应用程序等,调制解调处理器主要处理无线通信。可以理解的是,上述调制解调处理器也可以不集成到处理器中。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第一子显示区域朝上,所述第二子显示区域朝下,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域显示画面;
所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第二子显示区域朝上,所述第一子显示区域朝下,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第二子显示区域显示画面。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的“朝上”表示与水平面垂直向上的方向,“朝下”表示与水平面垂直向下的方向。应注意,本申请实施例中“朝下”和“朝下”可以是一个广义的概念,在实际应用中在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向上的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝上;类似地,在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向下的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝下,本申请实施例并不限于此。
具体而言,在折叠状态下,由于一个显示屏朝下,一个显示屏朝上,用户通常观看不到朝下的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域即朝上的显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例避免朝下的显示屏显示画面,能够节省该电子设备的能耗,提升用户体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述展折状态为展开状态,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体而言,在展开状态下,该两个子显示区域可以形成一个大的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以同时控制该两个子显示区域显示画面,以满足用户对大屏的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述展折状态为半展开状态,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体而言,在半展开状态下,所述处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域显示画面,或控制两个子显示区域同时显示画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,在一种实现方式中,在半展开状态下,处理模块可以控制第一子显示区域显示画面,由于该第一子显示区域的面积大于该第二子显示区域,因此,通过第一子显示区域显示画面,例如,显示电影、或网页画面等,能够提升用户体验。
再例如,在一种实现方式,在半展开状态下,处理模块可以控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面。
具体而言,当两个用户相对,且该电子设备放置在该两个用户中间时,处理模块可以控制两个子显示区域均显示画面,因此,该两个用户均可以观看到各自对应的子显示区域中显示的内容,因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。
具体的,在半展开状态下,处理模块控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面时,该两个子显示区域显示的内容可以相同,例如,均显示相同的电影画面等。可选地,该两个子显示区域显示的内容也可以不同,例如,两个用户使用不同的应用时,一个子显示区域显示一个应用的画面,另一个显示屏显示另一个应用的画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
图1是现有的一种手机正面示意图。如图1所示的手机100包括显示屏110、前置摄像头120和后置摄像头(图未示)等。如图1所示的手机支持多种应用功能,例如,如图1所示,显示屏110中显示的应用包括天气、股票、相机、图库、电子邮件、计算器、推特、腾讯、草稿等,另外该手机100还具有设置功能等,本申请实施例并不限于此。
在实际应用中,用户可以通过相机或其他能够调用摄像头的应用通过前置摄像头120实现自拍功能。为了支持自拍功能,图1所示的手机100需要设置有前置摄像头120,因此,该手机100的屏占比受到限制,使得该手机100的屏占比较小,难以满足用户对全面屏的需求。
鉴于上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种电子设备,该电子设备在显示屏的背面设置摄像头,而没有在显示屏的正面设置摄像头,由于本申请实施例由于没有在屏幕的正面设置摄像头,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
进一步的,本申请实施例的显示屏为可折叠的显示屏,其中,该显示屏包括第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域。在所述显示屏处于折叠状态时,第二子显示区域被折叠到第一子显 示区域的背面,且该摄像头与该第二子显示区域均位于该第一子显示区域的背面,且在该第一子显示区域为主显示区域时,该摄像头可以当做该第一子显示区域的后置摄像头,在该第二子显示区域为主显示区域时,该摄像头能够用于第二子显示区域的前摄像头,也就是说该摄像头能够支持在第二子显示区域上的自拍功能。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够在保证支持自拍功能的前提下,不设置显示屏正面的摄像头。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备既能支持自拍功能,也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
以下,为了便于理解和说明,作为示例而非限定,结合附图详细描述本申请实施例的电子设备。
应理解,本申请实施例中的电子设备可以包括智能手机、平板电脑、(personal digital assistant,PDA个人数字助理)、计算机、游戏机、可穿戴设备、平板电脑(portable android device,PAD)等,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,该电子设备上运行的操作系统可以是移动版的安卓(Android)、乌班图(Ubuntu)移动版、泰泽(Tizen)等基于Linux内核的操作系统以及Windows、Mac OS、Linux等桌面操作系统,但本发明并不限于此。
下文以电子设备为手机为例,对本申请实施例中的电子设备进行描述,但本申请实施例并不限于此。在该电子设备为上述其他的设备时,可以参考下文中本申请实施例对手机的描述,本文不再一一举例描述。
以下将结合图2至图9详细描述本申请实施例的电子设备。
其中,图2为本申请实施例的电子设备折叠状态时的主视图。图3为本申请实施例的电子设备折叠状态时的立体图。图4为本申请实施例的电子设备折叠状态时的俯视图。图5为本申请实施例的电子设备折叠状态的后视图。图6为本申请实施例的电子设备折叠状态的后视立体图。图7为本申请实施例的电子设备展开状态时的主视图。图8是本申请实施例的电子设备半展开状态时的立体图。图9是本申请实施例的电子设备展开状态时的后视图。
具体而言,如图2至图9所示,本申请实施例的电子设备200可以包括:可折叠的显示屏210、折叠转轴220和至少一个摄像头230;
所述显示屏包括第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212;
所述折叠转轴220用于将所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212折叠或展开;
所述至少一个摄像头230设置在所述第一子显示区域211的背面;
在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态时,所述第一子显示区域211的背面和所述第二子显示区域212的背面相对,所述至少一个摄像头230用于所述第二子显示区域212的前置摄像头。
具体而言,本申请实施例的电子设备在显示屏的背面设置摄像头,而没有在显示屏的正面设置摄像头,由于本申请实施例由于没有在屏幕的正面设置摄像头,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
进一步的,由于该至少一个摄像头能够用于第二子显示区域的前摄像头,也就是说该至少一个摄像头能够支持在第二子显示区域上的自拍功能。
因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够在不设置显示屏正面的摄像头的前提下,支持自拍 功能。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备既能支持自拍功能,也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
应理解,本申请实施例中,第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态(即两个子显示区域的夹角为360度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于折叠状态或者该电子设备处理折叠状态;第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于展开状态(两个子显示区域的夹角为180度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于展开状态或该电子设备处于展开状态;第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)(即两个子显示区域的夹角大于180度且小于360度),也可以表述成显示屏210处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)或该电子设备处于半展开状态(或半折叠状态)。本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解本申请实施例中的第一子显示区域也可以称为第一显示区域,第二子显示区域也可以称为第二显示区域,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,本申请实施例中的“第一”、“第二”等,仅仅是为了区分,其不应视为对本申请实施例的限定,在实际应用中“第一”和“第二”可以互换,本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述显示屏210用于震动发声。
换句话说,本申请实施例的电子设备可以支持屏幕发声,如图2至图9所示,由于本申请实施例的电子设备支持屏幕发声,可以无需设置听筒,由于无需设置听筒,因此,该电子设备的正面无需预留听筒空间,因此,本申请实施例中的显示屏可以具有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
应理解,图2至图9展示了该电子设备支持屏幕发声,没有单独设置听筒的情况。可替代地,该电子设备也可以设置听筒,例如,该听筒设置在该第一子显示区域的背面等,本申请实施例并不限于此。
由于本申请实施例的电子设备的听筒设置在该第一子显示区域的背面,就是说该电子设备的正面无需预留听筒空间,因此,本申请实施例中的显示屏可以具有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。可选地,作为一个实施例,该至少一个摄像头230可以包括1个、两个或更多个摄像头,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,如图5、图6和图9所示,该至少一个摄像头230可以包括两个摄像头,即摄像头231和摄像头232。
可选地,作为一个实施例,如图5、图6和图9所示,该电子设备200还可以包括闪光灯233,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,图5、图6和图9中仅示出了电子设备200包括一个闪光灯233的例子,但本申请实施例并不限于此,在实际应用中电子设备200可以包括两个或更多个闪光灯。
可选地,作为一个实施例,如图7所示,在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于展开状态时,所述显示屏210整体的显示区域的面积与所述显示屏210所在的所述电子设备的第一端面240(也可以称为所述电子设备展开状态时的正面240)的面积的比值(即该电子设备在展示状态时的屏占比)大于第一屏占比,所述显示屏210整体的显示区域包括所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212。
应理解,本申请实施例中,第一端面240可以为该电子设备展开时整个电子设备的正面。该第一端面也可以称为第一面或者第一正面,本申请实施例并不限于此。该第一端面的面积 如图7下方位置中较大矩形所示,该第显示屏整体的显示区域的面积如图7下方第一端面矩形中的较小矩形所示。其中,所述显示屏210整体的显示区域的面积与所述显示屏210所在的所述电子设备的第一端面240的面积的比值也可以称为该电子设备在展开状态时的屏占比。
具体而言,该第一屏占比可以为90%、95%或98%等,本申请实施例并不限于此。也就是说本申请实施例中在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于展开状态时,该电子设备的屏占比大于第一屏占比。
具体而言,由于本申请实施例中在该电子设备展开状态下,屏幕尺寸会变大,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户大屏幕的需求,进一步地,该本申请实施例的电子设备的四边的屏幕都可以极致到产品的外观边缘。例如展开状态时,该电子设备的屏占比可以达到或者接近100%。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户对全面屏的需求。
再者,又由于本申请实施例的电子设备的显示屏可以折叠,使得该电子设备的体积相对较小,进而可以便于用户携带,因此,本申请实施例的电子设备在展开状态下能满足用户对大屏的需求,又能在折叠状态下便于携带,能够提升用户体验。
可选地,作为一个实施例,如图2所示,在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态时,所述第一子显示区域211的面积与所述第一子显示区域211所在的所述电子设备第二端面250(也可以称为所述电子设备折叠状态时的正面250)的面积的比值(即该电子设备在折叠状态时的屏占比)大于第二屏占比。
应理解,本申请实施例中,第二端面250可以为该电子设备折叠时该第一子显示区域所在的该电子设备的端面,给第二端面也可以称为第二面或者第二正面,本申请实施例并不限于此。该第二端面的面积如图2右侧较大矩形所示,该第一子显示区域的面积如图2右侧第二端面矩形中的较小矩形所示。其中,所述第一子显示区域211的面积与所述电子设备第二端面250的面积的比值也可以称为该电子设备在折叠状态时的第一显示区域对应的屏占比。
具体而言,该第二屏占比可以为90%、95%或98%等,本申请实施例并不限于此。也就是说本申请实施例中在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态时,该电子设备的第一子显示区域对应的屏占比大于第二屏占比,例如折叠状态时,该电子设备的第一子显示区域对应的屏占比可以达到或者接近100%。因此,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户对全面屏的需求。
应理解,本申请实施例中,在折叠状态时,第一子显示区域的大部分区域为平整的,其中,在折叠转轴对应的弯折位置为曲面。其中,上述的第二端面大部分也是平整的,在折叠转轴对应的位置也为曲面。也就是说,上文中确定的第一子显示区域对应的屏占比为整个第一显示区域(包括第一显示区域的曲面部分和平整部分)的面积与第二端面(包括弯折曲面部分和平整部分)的面积的比值。
可替代,作为另一实施例,本申请实施例中在计算第一显示区域对应的屏占比时也可以不考虑上述曲面部分。也就是说,在折叠状态时,该第一显示区域对应的屏占比为第一显示区域的平整部分的面积与第二端面的平整部分的面积的比值,本申请实施例并不限于此。
综上所述,可以得出,本申请实施例中,无论在展开状态或者折叠状态时,该电子设备的第一子显示区域所在的显示面所对应的屏占比均较大,例如,均可以达到或者接近100%。因此,无论在展开状态或者折叠状态时,本申请实施例的电子设备能够满足用户对全面屏的 需求。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述第一子显示区域211的面积大于所述第二子显示区域212的面积,
如图5和图6所示,在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于折叠状态时,所述至少一个摄像头230位于所述第一子显示区域211的第一子背面区域213,
所述第一子显示区域211的背面包括所述第一子背面区域213和第二子背面区域214,所述第一子背面区域213包括所述第一子显示区域211的背面中未与所述第二子显示区域212背面重合的区域,所述第二子背面区域214包括所述第一子显示区域211的背面中与所述第二子显示区域212背面重合的区域。
具体而言,本申请实施例在第一子显示区域211的背面设置该至少一个摄像头230,在该显示屏210处于展开状态时,该至少一个摄像头230可以用于后置摄像头。在该显示屏210处于折叠状态时,由于该至少一个摄像头230具体设置在两个子显示区域为重合的区域即第一子背面区域213。因此,该至少一个摄像头230即可以用于第一子显示区域211的后置摄像头;也可以用于第二子显示区域212的前置摄像头。换句话说,本申请实施例中的该至少一个摄像头既可以用于后置摄像头,也可以用于前置摄像头进行自拍。
由于本申请实施例中设置在该第一子显示区域背面的至少一个摄像头可以两用,即可以当做后置摄像头也可以当做前置摄像头。因此,本申请实施例可以无需再单独摄像前摄像头,因此,本申请实施例能够不设置显示屏正面的摄像头的前提下,支持自拍功能。
因此,本申请实施例的电子设备既能支持自拍功能,也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
可选地,作为一个实施例,如图4所示,所述第二子背面区域214以及所述第二子显示区域212对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第一厚度值;
所述第一子背面区域213对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度为第二厚度值,所述第二厚度值大于或等于所述第一厚度值。
具体而言,本申请实施例中,在设置至少一个摄像头230的区域即第一子背面区域213对应的该电子设备的机身厚度可以大于或等于其他区域对应的电子设备机身厚度。
例如,该第二厚度值与该第一厚度值相等,也就是说在展开状态下,整个电子设备的机身厚度都相同。由于整个电子设备的机身相同,因此,本申请实施例在展开状态下,电子设备的四个边缘的厚度相同,使得用户持拿该电子设备比较舒适,不会存在突兀感,能够提升用户体验。
可选地,作为另一实施例,如图4所示,所述第二厚度值为所述第一厚度值的二倍。
本申请实施例中由于第二厚度值为第一厚度值的二倍,因此,本申请实施例在电子设备折合状态时,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域重合的部分对应的电子设备的厚度为第一厚度值的两倍,即等于第二厚度值。也就是说,在折叠状态下,该电子设备的整体厚度都相同,即都为第二厚度值,由于整个电子设备的机身相同,因此,本申请实施例在折叠状态下,电子设备的四个边缘的厚度相同,使得用户持拿该电子设备比较舒适,不会存在突兀感,能够提升用户体验。
上述本申请实施例中,描述了该电子设备的第二子背面区域214以及第一子显示区域212 对应的机身厚度相等,即均为第一厚度值的情况。可替代地,该第二子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值可以与第一子显示区域212对应的机身厚度值不相等,例如,该第二子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值大于或小于第一子显示区域212对应的机身厚度值。进一步的,作为另一实施例,该第二子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值与第一子显示区域212对应的机身厚度值之和等于该第一子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值。
由于该第二子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值与第一子显示区域212对应的机身厚度值之和等于该第一子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值。因此,在折叠状态下,该电子设备的整体厚度都相同,即等于该第一子背面区域214对应的机身厚度值。由于整个电子设备的机身相同,因此,本申请实施例在折叠状态下,电子设备的四个边缘的厚度相同,使得用户持拿该电子设备比较舒适,不会存在突兀感,能够提升用户体验。
前文限定了第一子背面区域的厚度均为第二厚度值的情况,可选地,第一子背面区域可以分为第一区域和第二区域,其中第一区域对应的计算厚度与第二区域对应的机身厚度可以相同也可以不同。
具体地,作为另一实施例,所述第一子背面区域213包括第一区域和第二区域,其中,所述至少一个摄像头设置在所述第一区域中,
所述第二区域、所述第一子背面区域213以及所述第二子显示区域212对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第三厚度值;
所述第一区域对应的所述电子设备的机身厚度均为第四厚度值,所述第四厚度值大于或等于所述第三厚度值。
例如,在展开状态下,该第一区域为包括该电子设备背部的四个角中的一个角的一部分区域,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,该第四厚度值大于该第三厚度值,例如,该第四厚度值为该第三厚度值的两倍,本申请实施例并不限于此。
具体地,在第四厚度大于第三厚度时,在展开状态下,整个机身厚度除第一区域对应的厚度较厚之外,其余部分的机身厚度均相等。由于该第一区域的面积较小,因此,在展开状态下,仅有一小部分区域即设置有该至少一个摄像头的第一区域为凸起部分,由于该部分比较小,并且该凸起部分仅设置在一个角落处,因此,本申请实施例在展开状态下,不会影响用户持拿该电子设备的舒适性,能够提升用户体验。
可选地,作为一个实施例,如图8所示,所述折叠转轴还用于将所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于半展开状态,
在所述第一子显示区域211和所述第二子显示区域212处于半展开状态时,所述第一子显示区域的第一侧边217和所述第二子显示区域212的第二侧边218用于放置在同一平面,以支撑所述电子设备,所述第一侧边217和所述第二侧边218为相离的两个侧边。
具体而言,如图8所示,在半展开状态下,该第一子显示区域211和第二子显示区域212可以互相支撑,以固定在同一平面(例如,固定在餐桌、办公桌、展销台上等)。通常现有电子设备需要再配一个支架才能立住。而本申请实施例中在半展开状态下,两个子显示区域可以互相支撑,因此,本申请实施例而无需单独的支撑架既可实现电子设备的站立,以使得该电子设备用于播放电影、当做日历、工作台等场景,能够提升用户体验。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述显示屏为柔性材料制作的柔性屏。
这种情况下,如图2至图9所示,该显示屏210为一个整体,也就是说该电子设备仅有一个可以折叠的显示屏210,即该第一子显示区域211和该第二子显示区域212不可以拆分,其为一个整体,该显示屏210在折叠转轴220的作用下可以折叠和展开。
应理解,图2至图9中示出了该电子设备的显示屏为柔性屏的情况,即该电子设备的显示屏可以弯折,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,可替代地,作为一个实施例,该显示屏也可以为普通的显示屏,例如为液晶显示屏(liquid crystal display,LCD)、有源矩阵有机发光二极体面板(active-matrix organic light emitting diode,AMOLED)或有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)等,本申请实施例并不限于此。这种情况下,该第一子显示区域和该第二子显示区域可以为两个独立的显示屏。该第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域可以在折叠转轴的作用下可以折叠在一起,或者展开处于同一平面。在展开状态下,该两个独立的显示屏可以组合成一个大的显示屏,以满足用户对大屏的需求。本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述电子设备还包括:检测模块和处理模块(图未示)。
具体地,检测模块用于检测所述电子设备的状态,所述电子设备的状态包括所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的展折状态,以及所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的空间位置关系;
处理模块用于根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体地,该展折状态可以包括折叠状态、展开状态和半展开状态。该空间位置关系可以包括第一子显示区域朝上且所述第二子显示区域朝下,第一子显示区域朝下且所述第二子显示区域朝上,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域朝向同一方向,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域的朝向具有夹角(即该两个子显示区域处于半展开状态),其中该夹角取值为大于180且小于360度。
因此,本申请实施例中处理模块可以根据检测模块检测的电子设备的状态自动的确定显示屏的显示形式,即控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域中的一个或两个显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例中的电子设备能够人性化的确定显示屏的显示形式,能够根据用户对电子设备的显示屏的翻转等动作,相应的确定对应的显示形式,因此,能够提升用户体验。
应理解,本申请实施例中的检测模块可以包括重力检测装置、折叠转轴检测装置等,本申请实施例并不限于此。其中,重力检测装置可以检测该空间位置关系,折叠转轴检测装置可以检测折叠转轴的状态,进而可以检测到上述的第一显示屏和第二显示屏的折展状态,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,本申请实施例的处理模块可以为处理器,该处理模块可以根据检测模块检测的电子设备的状态确定电子设备的显示形式,本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选的,本申请实施例中处理器可包括一个或多个处理单元;优选的,处理器可集成应用处理器和调制解调处理器,其中,应用处理器主要处理操作系统、用户界面和应用程序等,调制解调处理器主要处理无线通信。可以理解的是,上述调制解调处理器也可以不集成到处 理器中。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第一子显示区域朝上,所述第二子显示区域朝下,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域显示画面。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第二子显示区域朝上,所述第一子显示区域朝下,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第二子显示区域显示画面。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的“朝上”表示与水平面垂直向上的方向,“朝下”表示与水平面垂直向下的方向。应注意,本申请实施例中“朝下”和“朝下”可以是一个广义的概念,在实际应用中在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向上的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝上;类似地,在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向下的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝下,本申请实施例并不限于此。
具体而言,在折叠状态下,由于一个显示屏朝下,一个显示屏朝上,用户通常观看不到朝下的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域即朝上的显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例避免朝下的显示屏显示画面,能够节省该电子设备的能耗,提升用户体验。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为展开状态,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体而言,在展开状态下,该两个子显示区域可以形成一个大的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以同时控制该两个子显示区域显示画面,以满足用户对大屏的需求。
所述展折状态为半展开状态,所述处理模块具体用于控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体而言,在半展开状态下,所述处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域显示画面,或控制两个子显示区域同时显示画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,在一种实现方式中,在半展开状态下,处理模块可以控制第一子显示区域显示画面,由于该第一子显示区域的面积大于该第二子显示区域,因此,通过第一子显示区域显示画面,例如,显示电影、或网页画面等,能够提升用户体验。
再例如,在一种实现方式,在半展开状态下,处理模块可以控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面。
具体而言,当两个用户相对,且该电子设备放置在该两个用户中间时,处理模块可以控制两个子显示区域均显示画面,因此,该两个用户均可以观看到各自对应的子显示区域中显示的内容,因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。
具体的,在半展开状态下,处理模块控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面时,该两个子显示区域显示的内容可以相同,例如,均显示相同的电影画面等。可选地,该两个子显示区域显示的内容也可以不同,例如,两个用户使用不同的应用时,一个子显示区域显示一个应用的画面,另一个显示屏显示另一个应用的画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。
应理解,上文描述了处理模块根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所 述第二显示屏显示画面的具体情况。可选地,在实际应用中,处理模块也可以根据用户输入的指令选择第一子显示区域和/第二子显示区域显示画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。
需要说明的是,本发明各实施例中的内容可以相互结合,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应注意,图2至图9的例子仅仅是为了帮助本领域技术人员理解本发明实施例,而非要将本发明实施例限于所例示的具体数值或具体场景。本领域技术人员根据所给出的图2至图9的例子,显然可以进行各种等价的修改或变化,这样的修改或变化也落入本发明实施例的范围内。
例如,图2至图9示出了在展开状态且电子设备的显示屏正对象该申请文件的阅读者时,在第一子显示区域不动的情况下,需要将左边第二子显示区域按照瞬时针的方向旋转才可以将第二子显示区域和第一子显示区域折叠在一起。但本申请实施例并不限于此,例如,本申请实施例还可以按照相反的反向,即在较大的子显示区域不动的情况下,较小的子显示区域从右侧按照逆时针旋转以实现折叠状态。相应地,这种情况下,摄像头的位置也应做相应的调整。
下面以电子设备为手机为例,对本申请实施例的手机的结构进行描述。图10示出的是与本发明实施例相关的手机900的部分结构的框图。参考图10,手机900包括:射频(Radio Frequency,RF)电路910、电源920、处理器930、存储器940、输入单元950、显示单元960、传感器970、音频电路980、无线保真( wireless fidelity,WiFi)模块990以及至少一个摄像头911等部件。本领域技术人员可以理解,图10中示出的手机结构并不构成对手机的限定,可以包括比图示更多或更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者不同的部件布置。
下面结合图10对手机900的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍:

显示单元960可用于显示由用户输入的信息或提供给用户的信息以及手机900的各种菜单。显示单元960可包括显示面板961,可选的,可以采用LCD、OLED等形式来配置显示面板961。进一步的,触控面板951可覆盖显示面板961,当触控面板951检测到在其上或附近的触摸操作后,传送给处理器930以确定触摸事件的类型,随后处理器930根据触摸事件的类型在显示面板961上提供相应的视觉输出。虽然在图10中,触控面板951与显示面板961是作为两个独立的部件来实现手机900的输入和输入功能,但是在某些实施例中,可以将触控面板951与显示面板961集成而实现手机900的输入和输出功能。
应理解,在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例的触控面板951和显示面板961是可折叠的,例如触控面板951和显示面板961是由柔性材料制成的。本申请实施例中可以将触控面板和显示面板统称为显示屏,本申请实施例并不限于此。该显示屏可以包括第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域。可选地,本申请实施例中的手机还可以包括折叠转轴(图未示),所述折叠转轴用于将所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域折叠或展开。

音频电路980、扬声器981,麦克风982可提供用户与手机900之间的音频接口。音频电路980可将接收到的音频数据转换后的电信号,传输到扬声器981,由扬声器981转换为声音信号输出;另一方面,麦克风982将收集的声音信号转换为电信号,由音频电路980接收后转换为音频数据,再将音频数据输出至RF电路910以发送给比如另一手机,或者将音频数据输出至存储器940以便进一步处理。在一种可能的实现方式中,扬声器981,麦克风982等器件的功能可以集成在其他器件上,以节省硬件空间,和/或,增加全面屏的屏占比。
WiFi属于短距离无线传输技术,手机900通过WiFi模块990可以帮助用户收发 电子邮 、浏览网页和访问流式媒体等,它为用户提供了无线的宽带互联网访问。虽然图1示出了WiFi模块990,但是可以理解的是,其并不属于手机900的必须构成,完全可以根据需要在不改变发明的本质的范围内而省略。
至少一个摄像头911可以设置在第一子显示区域的背面,在所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域处于折叠状态时,所述第一子显示区域的背面和所述第二子显示区域的背面相对,所述至少一个摄像头用于所述第二子显示区域的前置摄像头。
处理器930是手机900的控制中心,利用各种接口和线路连接整个手机的各个部分,通过运行或执行存储在存储器940内的软件程序和/或模块,以及调用存储在存储器940内的数据,执行手机900的各种功能和处理数据,从而实现基于手机的多种业务。例如,处理器930可以根据检测模块例如,重力检测装置和折叠转轴检测装置检测的所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。可选的,处理器930可包括一个或多个处理单元;优选的,处理器930可集成应用处理器和调制解调处理器,其中,应用处理器主要处理操作系统、用户界面和应用程序等,调制解调处理器主要处理无线通信。可以理解的是,上述调制解调处理器也可以不集成到处理器930中。
手机900还包括给各个部件供电的电源920(比如电池),优选的,电源可以通过电源管理系统与处理器930逻辑相连,从而通过电源管理系统实现管理充电、放电、以及功耗等功能。
尽管为示出手机900中还可以包括蓝牙模块等,在此不再赘述。
下面描述应用于本申请实施例中的电子设备中的一种显示方法,其中,该电子设备为上述申请例中的任一种电子设备,具体地,该方法可以由该电子设备的处理模块执行,应理解,电子设备显示的画面可以为某一应用的画面,也可以为该至少一个摄像头拍摄的画面,其中,在通过第二子显示屏显示该至少一个摄像头拍摄的画面时,可以对应用户的自拍场景,本申请实施例并不限于此。具体的,该方法包括:
获取所述电子设备的状态,所述电子设备的状态包括所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的展折状态,以及所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域的空间位置关系;
根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体地,该展折状态可以包括折叠状态、展开状态和半展开状态。该空间位置关系可以包括第一子显示区域朝上且所述第二子显示区域朝下,第一子显示区域朝下且所述第二子显示区域朝上,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域朝向同一方向,或者,第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域的朝向具有夹角(即该两个子显示区域处于半展开状态),其中该夹角取值为大于180且小于360度。
具体的,该处理模块可以获取检测模块检测的该电子设备的状态,并根据该电子设备的状态自动的确定显示屏的显示形式,即控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二子显示区域中的一个或两个显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例中的电子设备能够人性化的确定显示屏的显示形式,能够根据用户对电子设备的显示屏的翻转等动作,相应的确定对应的显示形式,因此,能够提升用户体验。
应理解,检测模块以及处理模块的描述可以参考上文中的描述,此处不再赘述。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第一子显示区域朝上,所述第二子显示区域朝下,所述根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面,包括:
根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域显示画面。
可替代地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为折叠状态,所述空间位置关系为所述第二子显示区域朝上,所述第一子显示区域朝下,所述根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面,包括:
根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第二子显示区域显示画面。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的“朝上”表示与水平面垂直向上的方向,“朝下”表示与水平面垂直向下的方向。应注意,本申请实施例中“朝下”和“朝下”可以是一个广义的概念,在实际应用中在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向上的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝上;类似地,在第一子显示区域朝向与水平面垂直向下的方向具有一定夹角(该夹角小于90度)时,也可以称为该第一子显示区域朝下,本申请实施例并不限于此。
具体而言,在折叠状态下,由于一个显示屏朝下,一个显示屏朝上,用户通常观看不到朝下的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域即朝上的显示屏显示画面。因此,本申请实施例避免朝下的显示屏显示画面,能够节省该电子设备的能耗,提升用户体验。
可替代地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为展开状态,所述根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面,包括:
根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和所述第二显示屏显示画面。
具体而言,在展开状态下,该两个子显示区域可以形成一个大的显示屏,因此,处理模块可以同时控制该两个子显示区域显示画面,以满足用户对大屏的需求。
可替代地,作为一个实施例,所述展折状态为半展开状态,具体而言,在半展开状态下,所述处理模块可以控制一个子显示区域显示画面,或控制两个子显示区域同时显示画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。
例如,在一种实现方式中,在半展开状态下,所述根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面,包括:
根据所述电子设备的状态控制控制第一子显示区域显示画面。
由于该第一子显示区域的面积大于该第二子显示区域,因此,通过第一子显示区域显示画面,例如,显示电影、或网页画面等,能够提升用户体验。
再例如,在一种实现方式,在半展开状态下,所述根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面,包括:
根据所述电子设备的状态控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面。
具体而言,当两个用户相对,且该电子设备放置在该两个用户中间时,处理模块可以控制两个子显示区域均显示画面,因此,该两个用户均可以观看到各自对应的子显示区域中显示的内容,因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。
具体的,在半展开状态下,处理模块控制第一子显示区域和第二子显示区域同时显示画面时,该两个子显示区域显示的内容可以相同,例如,均显示相同的电影画面等。可选地, 该两个子显示区域显示的内容也可以不同,例如,两个用户使用不同的应用时,一个子显示区域显示一个应用的画面,另一个显示屏显示另一个应用的画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。因此,本申请实施例能够实现一机供两个用户使用,能够提升用户体验。
以用户使用该电子设备为例,在电子设备处于折叠状态,第一子显示区域朝上,且第一子显示区域显示摄像头拍摄画面(此时该摄像头作为该第一子显示区域的后置摄像头)时,当用户过翻转该电子设备后,该第二子显示区域朝上,该处理模块在获取到该状态后,可以将显示画面由第一子显示区域切换到第二子显示区域,即通过第二子显示区域显示用户的自拍的画面(此时该摄像头作为该第一子显示区域的后置摄像头)。
上文描述了处理模块根据所述电子设备的状态控制所述第一子显示区域和/或所述第二显示屏显示画面的具体情况。
可替代地,在实际应用中,处理模块也可以根据用户输入的指令选择第一子显示区域和/第二子显示区域显示画面,本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,在电子设备处于折叠状态,且第一子显示区域显示摄像头拍摄画面(此时该摄像头作为该第一子显示区域的后置摄像头)时,当用户点击该第一子显示区域显示的切换按钮(例如,切换摄像头或者切换显示画面按钮),该处理模块在获取到该用户的指令后,可以将显示画面由第一子显示区域切换到第二子显示区域,同时,用户可以通过翻转该电子设备通过第二子显示区域显示自拍的画面(此时该摄像头作为该第一子显示区域的后置摄像头)。
因此,本申请实施例电子设备中的至少一个摄像头即可以用于第一子显示区域的后置摄像头;也可以用于第二子显示区域的前置摄像头。换句话说,本申请实施例中的该至少一个摄像头既可以用于后置摄像头,也可以用于前置摄像头进行自拍。由于本申请实施例中设置在该第一子显示区域背面的至少一个摄像头可以两用,即可以当做后置摄像头也可以当做前置摄像头。因此,本申请实施例可以无需再单独摄像前摄像头,因此,本申请实施例能够不设置显示屏正面的摄像头的前提下,支持自拍功能。由于不设置显示屏正面的摄像头,因此,本申请的电子设备也可以拥有较大的屏占比,满足用户对全面屏的需求。
在一种可实现方式中,如图7所以,电子设备200的折叠转轴的长度与电子设备200长边的长度匹配,以使得电子设备200以折叠转轴将短边部分折叠为上下两部分。电子设备200的折叠转轴的长度与电子设备200长边的长度匹配,可以为折叠转轴的长度与长边的长度值相同或近似;或理解为,折叠转轴的长度值更接近于长边长度值。或者,在一种实现方式中,如图5所示,电子设备200的折叠转轴的长度不小于折叠后手机的宽度。此时,电子设备200展开状态的长短边长度可以接近,也可以差异较大。
在一种可实现方式中,电子设备200还可以设置有配件的容纳槽,用于放置配件。例如,如图11,电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的凸起部分(第二厚度值区域,或对应第一子背面区域213的区域)可以包含有容纳槽1001,该容纳槽1001中可以放置手写笔1002。当用户使用手写笔1002时,可以从容纳槽1001中取出,使用结束后可放置回容纳槽1001。手写笔1002可以为触控手写笔。可选的,如图12所示,电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的第二厚度值区域也可以放置其他器件,例如可以是与图11不同形态的手写工具,或者放置无线耳机等其他配件。可选的,容纳槽及对应的配件的厚度可大于第一厚度值。
在一种可实现方式中,电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的凸起部分可以集成/ 放置其他器件。由于电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的凸起部分空间相对较大,因此除了放置摄像头,例如放置1个或2个或3个或4个,或更多个摄像头,还可以放置其他组件,例如可以放置闪光灯、天线、按键或麦克风,等。其中按键可以包括电源按键或音量按键,也可以包括其他按键。按键可以设置在第一子背面区域213,也可以放置于凸起的侧边。天线可以包括接收和发送移动通信网络信号的天线,也可以包括短距离通信网络,例如WiFi、NFC、近场通信(near field communication)、蓝牙等,的天线。
在一种可实现方式中,电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的凸起部分可以集成/放置其他厚度高于第一厚度值的硬件器件,减少/避免其他凸出。例如,可以将厚度值高于第一厚度值的器件均集成于电子设备200的第一子显示区域211的背面的凸起部分。
说明书通篇中提到的“一个实施例”或“一实施例”意味着与实施例有关的特定特征、结构或特性包括在本发明的至少一个实施例中。因此,在整个说明书各处出现的“在一个实施例中”或“在一实施例中”未必一定指相同的实施例。此外,这些特定的特征、结构或特性可以任意适合的方式结合在一个或多个实施例中。
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
本领域普通技术人员可以意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,能够以电子硬件、或者计算机软件和电子硬件的结合来实现。这些功能究竟以硬件还是软件方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
所属领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到,为描述的方便和简洁,上述描述的系统、装置和单元的具体工作过程,可以参考前述方法实施例中的对应过程,在此不再赘述。
在本申请所提供的几个实施例中,应该理解到,所揭露的系统、装置和方法,可以通过其它的方式实现。例如,以上所描述的装置实施例仅仅是示意性的,例如,所述单元的划分,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式,例如多个单元或组件可以结合或者可以集成到另一个系统,或一些特征可以忽略,或不执行。另一点,所显示或讨论的相互之间的耦合或直接耦合或通信连接可以是通过一些接口,装置或单元的间接耦合或通信连接,可以是电性,机械或其它的形式。
所述作为分离部件说明的单元可以是或者也可以不是物理上分开的,作为单元显示的部件可以是或者也可以不是物理单元,即可以位于一个地方,或者也可以分布到多个网络单元上。可以根据实际的需要选择其中的部分或者全部单元来实现本实施例方案的目的。
另外,在本申请各个实施例中的各功能单元可以集成在一个处理单元中,也可以是各个单元单独物理存在,也可以两个或两个以上单元集成在一个单元中。
所述功能如果以软件功能单元的形式实现并作为独立的产品销售或使用时,可以存储在一个计算机可读取存储介质中。基于这样的理解,本申请的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分或者该技术方案的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质中,包括若干指令用以使得一台计算机设备(可以是个人计算机,服 务器,或者网络设备等)执行本申请各个实施例所述方法的全部或部分步骤。而前述的存储介质包括:U盘、移动硬盘、只读存储器(Read-Only Memory,ROM)、随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory,RAM)、磁碟或者光盘等各种可以存储程序代码的介质。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
