Fig. 7 is a front view and a left and right side view of the mobile phone. In Fig. 7, the mobile phone includes a full screen 701, and no sound hole is provided on the front side of the mobile phone.

The side of the touch screen and the side of the display can be glued to the frame of the mobile phone through a full circle of glue, which can play the role of dustproof and waterproof. The back of the display can be pasted in the mobile phone by foam with double-sided adhesive. The front side of the frame supports and fixes the display and touch screen. Wherein, the dispensing may be soft and elastic, for example, satisfying one or more of the following parameters: a Shore hardness of 25 to 30, a shear stress of 200 to 900 psi, and an elongation at break of greater than 500%. And the display screen is connected to the middle frame of the mobile phone through the soft foam, so when the touch screen and the display screen vibrate in the vertical direction, not only the foam can provide elastic support during the round-trip vibration, but also the dispensing and the foam do not transmit vibration. Reduce the vibration of the frame in the phone. This connection of dispensing and foam can be seen, making the display screen and touch screen like a horn diaphragm, enabling linear reciprocating vibration in the vertical direction. Among them, in order to reduce the shaking of the display screen and the touch screen and enhance the stability of the screen of the mobile phone, it is also possible to use a harder dispensing or to use a stiffer support instead of the foam.

One end of one or more vibration sources is attached to the back of the display screen, and the other end is placed in a hole provided in the frame of the mobile phone, thereby reducing the thickness of the mobile phone and achieving a slim and light design. The vibration source can vibrate under the driving circuit of the circuit board, and the display screen and the touch screen vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the display screen and the touch screen, pushing the surrounding air to realize the sound of the screen. The drive circuit can be connected with an FPC connector, and the FPC connector is connected to the vibration source through a BTB connector or a spring piece. This flexible connection can also transmit vibration. The circuit board can be a printed circuit board (English: Printed Circuit Board, referred to as: PCB), which is used to realize the functions of calling, displaying, etc. of the mobile phone, installed and fixed on the front side of the frame of the mobile phone, and the circuit board and the vibration source, the foam and the The display does not touch. The specific structure of the driving circuit can be as shown in FIG. 6, and details are not described herein again.

Two traditional dynamic speakers can be installed on the back of the middle frame of the mobile phone to support multi-channel sounding in the speaker mode, and in order to assist the dynamic speaker sounding, two discharge sound holes can be respectively arranged on the side of the mobile phone, as shown in FIG. The top side 91 and the bottom side 92 of the mobile phone, wherein a discharge sound hole 911 can be disposed on the top side of the mobile phone, a sound guiding channel is disposed between the discharging sound hole 911 and a moving coil speaker, and the other discharging sound hole 912 can be It is disposed on the bottom side of the mobile phone, and a sound guiding channel is also disposed between the discharge sound hole 912 and the other moving coil speaker. It should be noted that the sound hole is a circular hole in the figure as an example, in fact, The sound hole may also be a hole of another shape such as a square hole. Among them, the two moving coil speakers can convert electric energy into mechanical energy under the driving circuit of the circuit board, so that the vibration of the speaker diaphragm is realized, and the air is pushed out from the sound hole through the sound guiding channel to realize sound generation.

The back of the frame of the mobile phone can also be connected with a back cover to protect the mobile phone from dust, water, and fall. As shown in the rear view of the mobile phone shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of openings may be provided in the back cover, and a dual camera 801 and a mobile phone flashlight 802 are installed at the plurality of openings.

It can be seen that in the embodiment, the sound of the screen can be realized by the vibration source pasted on the back of the display screen, or the sound can be realized by the conventional dynamic speaker. Among them, the sounding principle of the sound of the screen is: the driving circuit drives the vibration source vibrating on the back of the display screen, and the vibration source vibrates to drive the display screen and the touch screen to vibrate in the vertical direction to push the surrounding air to realize the sound of the screen. The visible screen mode not only does not need to set the sound hole on the front side to enable a full screen, but also because the display screen and the touch screen vibrate, through the soft dispensing and the foam on the back of the display, the vibration will not be transmitted to the middle frame of the mobile phone. Avoid the vibration of the whole mobile phone in the middle of the mobile phone, which has the effect of louder sound, better sound quality, weaker hand shake, and less leakage. The sounding principle of the dynamic speaker is: the driving circuit drives the diaphragm vibration of the moving coil speaker, and the air is pushed out from the sound hole through the sound guiding channel to realize the sound.

The method for sounding the mobile phone in different scenarios in the embodiment will be described below.

When the user answers the call or listens to the voice message, the sound can be sounded in the earphone mode through the screen sound, or can be sounded in the speaker mode through the dynamic speaker, as described below. When the user answers the call, the circuit board detects the call event and further detects whether the headset is connected. If it is connected, it sounds through the earphone, and if it is not connected, it is set to the earpiece mode. In the handset mode, the communication module of the circuit board receives the audio data such as the voice transmitted by the opposite end of the call, and the processor 301 in the driver circuit acquires the audio data and performs filtering processing on the audio data, and then outputs the signal to the audio decoder. 302 performs digital-to-analog conversion to obtain an analog signal, which is amplified by the power amplifier 303 and output to the vibration source, and the vibration source drives the touch screen and the display screen to vibrate and sound. When the user places the ear near the touch screen and the display screen, the vocal transmitted from the opposite end of the call can be heard.

By touching the touch screen, the user can switch the handset mode to the speaker mode during the call. Specifically, during the conversation of the user, a hands-free button is displayed on the display screen, and after the user performs a click operation on the hands-free button on the touch screen, the circuit board detects a switching event, and switches the handset mode to the speaker mode, and the driver is driven at this time. The circuit stops driving the vibration source, that is, the audio codec 302 no longer transmits the generated analog signal to the power amplifier 303, the display screen and the touch screen stop vibrating and vocalizing, and the driving circuit sends a driving signal to one or both of the moving coil speakers. Drive one or two dynamic speakers to vibrate and sound. The user does not need to place the ear near the touch screen and the display screen, and can also hear the voice transmitted from the opposite end of the call. When the call is over, the drive circuit stops driving the dynamic speaker, and the dynamic speaker stops vibrating and sounding.

The process of sounding when a user listens to a voice message is similar to the process of sounding when answering a call. Wherein, when the user listens to the voice message, the circuit board can detect whether the user places the ear near the earpiece, and if so, sets it to the earphone mode and sounds through the vibration source, and if not, sets the speaker mode to the speaker mode and passes the dynamic speaker. Sounds.

When the user wants to play audio data such as movies and songs through the mobile phone, the play button displayed on the display screen can be clicked through the touch screen, the circuit board detects the playing event, and the driving circuit drives the vibration source and the moving coil speaker to realize multi-channel sounding. Produces a three-dimensional sound effect. The specific implementation process of multi-channel sounding will be described below.

When a play event is detected, the processor 301 of the drive circuit reads the movie from the phone memory, the song waits to play the audio, or acquires the online movie according to the audio address, and the song waits to play the audio, wherein the audio to be played may be two channels or more. The audio data of the channel, the processor 301 performs signal processing such as filtering and gain equalization on the audio to be played, and extracts the audio data of the left channel, the audio data of the right channel, and the center sound from the processed audio to be played. Audio data of the track, and output the audio data of the three channels to the audio decoder 302 for digital-to-analog conversion to obtain an analog signal of the left channel, an analog signal of the right channel, and an analog signal of the center channel, The analog signal of the left channel and the analog signal of the right channel are respectively output to the two dynamic coil speakers through the power amplifier 601 and the power amplifier 602, and the two moving coil speakers are driven to sound, thereby realizing the left sound in the movie and the song played to the user. For the sound of the channel and the right channel, the audio decoder 302 outputs the analog signal of the center channel to the vibration source to drive the vibration of the vibration source. The vibration source drives the touch screen and the display screen to vibrate and sound, thereby realizing the sound of the center channel in the movie and the song, that is, the voice of the human voice part.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the sound of the screen realized by the vibration source is not only used in the process of talking, but also acts as an auxiliary external audio mode when playing movies, songs, etc., increasing the sound field of the forward impact, resulting in more surround and immersion. A three-dimensional sound experience, combined with a comprehensive screen design, while improving the user's hearing and visual experience. In addition, the sound of the center channel can be enhanced by the sound of the screen, which enhances the sound of the vocal part of the movie and music.

In this embodiment, the fourth channel sound can also be realized by the external mobile phone package box. Install a vibration source on the phone case to form a low-cost carton speaker. For example, the mobile phone package includes a cover and a bottom of the case, and the cover can be reversely fastened to the back of the bottom of the case, and a mobile phone mounting slot is arranged on the front of the bottom of the case for fixing the mobile phone, and a vibration source is attached to the back of the bottom of the case. When the processor 301 detects that the mobile phone package is externally connected through the type C interface, the audio data of the fourth channel other than the left channel, the right channel, and the center channel is extracted from the audio to be played, and the fourth channel is used. The audio data is output to the processor on the mobile phone box, and the audio data is received by the processor on the mobile phone box and subjected to simple signal processing, and then the processed audio data is sequentially output through the digital-to-analog converter and the power amplifier to the audio data. The vibrator on the box of the mobile phone drives the vibrator on the box of the mobile phone to vibrate, and the bottom of the box of the mobile phone box vibrates and sounds when the driver on the box of the mobile phone vibrates. The left channel and the right channel may be the high-pitched portions of the left channel and the right channel, and the fourth channel may be the mid-bass channel, so that the bottom of the box of the mobile phone box vibrates and sounds, and the user can play to the user. The user plays the sound of the middle and low sound channels in the movie and the song, which further enhances the stereo sound effect.

In this embodiment, the audible effect of the mobile phone can also be set. In one possible design, the user selects the phone's settings icon, general options, and accessibility options through the touch screen, where the accessibility options provide multiple adjustments. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the auxiliary function option is provided with a switch for mono audio and a switch for sounding on the screen. The user can operate the switch of the mono audio to enable and disable the mono play function, and the vibration source, Both dynamic speakers provide mono sound, and the user can also turn the screen sound function in speaker mode on and off by operating the on-screen switch. As shown in Figure 10, the auxiliary function option can also provide a volume adjustment lever with a screen sound. The user can slide the adjustment knob on the adjustment lever to adjust the volume of the sound of the screen. For example, the user can increase the volume of the sound of the screen. Highlight the sound of the vocals when playing a movie. In addition, various channel switches and volume adjustment levers for each channel are available in the auxiliary function options. For example, a center channel switch and a center channel volume adjustment lever are provided, and the user can operate the center channel. The switch turns the center channel playback function on and off, and slides the adjustment knob on the center channel's adjustment lever to adjust the volume of the center channel. In another possible design, the user can also adjust the sound through various applications with sound adjustment. For example, the user can adjust the sound of each channel by turning on the equalization button on the interface of the application, or can increase the volume of the center channel or center by turning on the enhanced vocal button. The sound of the channel is added to the sound processing such as echo, and in addition, the background sound can be removed by the application, and the bass sound effect can be enhanced, which will not be enumerated here.
