The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, please refer to FIG. 1 for details, and FIG. 1 is a first structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 10 includes a display screen 120 , a first antenna 140 and a second antenna 160 . The display screen 120 includes a first area 122 and a second area 124 , and the second area 124 is arranged around the first area 122 . Referring to the drawings, the display area within the dashed frame is the first area 122 , and the display area outside the dashed frame is the second area 124 . The first antenna 140 is disposed in the first area 122 ; the second antenna 160 is disposed in the second area 124 .

It can be understood that the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 may be transparent antennas, and the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 may be arranged inside the display screen 120 . The larger headroom area will not be affected by the battery, power amplifier or metal frame in the electronic device 10 . The area of the display screen 120 is relatively large. By setting antennas in different areas of the display screen 120, more antennas can be installed. Moreover, the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are arranged in different areas of the display screen 120, which can prevent the display screen 120 from being blocked. When the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are blocked at the same time, the overall antenna performance of the electronic device 10 is improved.

The first area 122 may be understood as the middle area of the display screen 120 , and the second area 124 may be understood as the edge area of the display screen 120 . The second area 124 is annular, and the first area 122 is located in the middle of the second area 124 . It should be noted that the display screen 120 is a complete display screen 120 , and the first area 122 and the second area 124 are divided to distinguish the positions of the antennas. The areas of the first area 122 and the second area 124 can be set as required, for example, the areas of the first area 122 and the second area 124 are equal, or the area of the first area 122 is twice the area of the second area 124, or the area of the first area 122 is twice that of the second area 124. The area of one region 122 is half the area of the second region 124 .

Wherein, when the display screen 120 is blocked, the working power of the second antenna 160 may be increased, and/or the working power of the first antenna 140 may be decreased. When the display screen 120 is blocked, the antenna on the display screen 120 is also easily blocked. Considering that the second antenna 160 is disposed in the second area 124, and the second area 124 is at the edge area of the display screen 120, the second antenna 160 is not easily blocked. The first antenna 140 is disposed in the first area 122, the first area 122 is in the middle of the display screen 120, and the first antenna 140 is easily blocked. Therefore, the working power of the second antenna 160 can be increased, and the antenna performance of the second antenna 160 can be improved. It is also possible to reduce the working power of the first antenna 140 to reduce power consumption.

It can be understood that the electronic device further includes a processor, the display screen, the first antenna and the second antenna are all connected to the processor, and the processor can control the display screen, the first antenna and the second antenna. For example, when the processor acquires that the display screen is blocked, the operating power of the second antenna may be increased, and/or the operating power of the first antenna may be decreased. The processor may be the main chip of the electronic device, or may be other chips, such as a radio frequency chip, a display chip, and the like.

Wherein, the first antenna and the second antenna may be antennas with the same function, for example, the first antenna and the second antenna are both a 4G antenna, a 5G antenna, a WIFI antenna, a Bluetooth antenna, an NFC antenna, a GPS antenna, etc., By reducing the power of the blocked first antenna, increasing the power of the unblocked second antenna, and using the second antenna with increased operating power to transmit radio frequency signals, radio frequency signals can be better transmitted, while reducing the power of the first antenna. The power consumption can be reduced even by suspending the work of the first antenna.

It can be understood that the second antenna may be in a normal working state or a non-working state before increasing the working power. When the second antenna is in a non-working state before increasing the working power, after increasing the working power of the second antenna, the radio frequency signal transmitted by the original first antenna can be transferred to the second antenna for transmission without affecting the radio frequency signal of the electronic device transmission. When the second antenna is in a normal working state before increasing the working power, after increasing the working power of the second antenna, the second antenna can be changed from the ordinary working mode to the carrier aggregation working mode, and the second antenna in the carrier aggregation working mode The function of the antenna can achieve the functions of the original first antenna and the original second antenna, that is, the capability of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second antenna in the carrier aggregation working mode is not less than that of the first antenna and the second antenna in the normal working mode. signal capability. For example, the time for the second antenna in the carrier aggregation work mode to transmit a file may be equal to or less than the time for the first antenna and the second antenna in the normal work mode to transmit the file at the same time. The second antenna in the carrier aggregation working mode can synthesize the signal to be transmitted by the original first antenna and the original second antenna, and then transmit the signal through the second antenna. For example, the first antenna in the common working mode transmits the first file in the first frequency band, the second antenna in the ordinary working mode transmits the second file in the second frequency band, and the second antenna in the carrier aggregation working mode can transmit the first file in the first frequency band at the same time. A file and a second file for the second band.

It should be noted that there are many structures for identifying that the display screen is blocked. For example, it can be determined whether the display screen is blocked by the touch position of the display screen. If the display screen recognizes the touch command, it can be determined that the display screen is blocked. You can also determine whether the display screen is blocked by detecting the signal strength of the antenna. If the detected signal strength of the first antenna or the second antenna is significantly reduced, it can be determined that the display screen is blocked. It can also be identified by sensors (such as pressure sensors, touch sensors) on the bezel of the electronic device. If the sensor on the border of the display screen recognizes that it is being held, it can be determined that the display screen is blocked. It can also be identified by electronic device ranging sensors or infrared sensors. If the distance between the distance measuring sensor or the infrared sensor and the obstacle is recognized by the distance measuring sensor or the infrared sensor is less than the threshold value, it can be determined that the display screen is blocked. This embodiment of the present application does not limit the structure for recognizing that the display screen is blocked. In this embodiment of the present application, an appropriate structure for recognizing that the display screen is blocked can be selected according to needs. Inside.

The antenna can also be controlled in other ways. Exemplarily, when the display screen 120 is blocked, one of the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 is selected as the target antenna, and the target antenna is used to transmit the radio frequency signal.

When the display screen 120 is blocked, the antenna on the display screen 120 is also easily blocked. Considering that the electronic device 10 is used in different ways, such as one-hand operation or two-hand operation, both the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 may be blocked. Therefore, when the display screen 120 is blocked, one of the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can be selected as the target antenna, and the target antenna can be used to transmit the radio frequency signal. For example, when the user operates with one hand, the second antenna 160 located in the edge area of the display screen 120 is easily blocked, and the first antenna 140 located in the middle area of the display screen 120 is not easily blocked. At this time, the first antenna 140 is selected as the target antenna . When the user operates with both hands, and the user holds the mobile phone with one hand and touches the display screen 120 with the other hand, the second antenna 160 located in the edge area of the display screen 120 is not easily blocked, and the first antenna 140 located in the middle area of the display screen 120 is easily blocked. At this time, the second antenna 160 is selected as the target antenna. After the target antenna is obtained, the radio frequency signal can be transmitted by using the target antenna.

Among them, the working power of the target antenna can be increased, and the working power of the other antenna can be decreased. The method of increasing the working power of the target antenna and reducing the working power of another antenna may be the method of increasing the working power of the second antenna 160 and reducing the working power of the first antenna 140 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here. In addition, if the functions of the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are the same, the target antenna can be used to transmit the radio frequency signal, and the other antenna can be suspended.

The functions of the first antenna and the second antenna may also be different. For example, at least one of the size, length, and width of the vibrator of the first antenna and the second antenna may be set to be different, so as to be suitable for transmitting and receiving at different frequencies.

There are many more ways to determine the target antenna. Illustratively, please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of a second structure of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 10 may further include a signal strength detector 180, and the signal strength detector 180 is used to obtain the signal strength of the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160; when the signal strength of the first antenna 140 is greater than the signal strength of the second antenna 160 , the first antenna 140 is used as the target antenna; when the signal strength of the first antenna 140 is lower than the signal strength of the second antenna 160, the second antenna 160 is used as the target antenna.

If the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are blocked, the corresponding signal strength will also be affected. For example, if the first antenna 140 is blocked by the user, the signal strength of the first antenna 140 will decrease significantly. When the display screen 120 is blocked, selecting a target antenna with better signal strength can obtain a target antenna with better antenna performance, so that the overall antenna performance of the electronic device 10 is more stable.

The way to determine the target antenna can also be determined by the touch position of the display screen. If the user's touch position is in the first area, the second antenna in the second area is determined as the target antenna. If the user's touch position is in the second area, the first antenna in the first area is determined as the target antenna.

Wherein, when the display screen 120 is not blocked, the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can transmit radio frequency signals respectively, and the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can also cooperate to transmit radio frequency signals. The first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can simultaneously transmit antenna signals of the same frequency band. For example, the electronic device 10 may download the same file through the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 . Specifically, the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can download the same data, thereby improving the reliability of the data. The first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can download different data of the same file, thereby increasing the download rate. The first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 may also form a main diversity operation mode. For example, the first antenna 140 is used as the main antenna, the second antenna 160 is used as the diversity antenna, and the main antenna and the diversity antenna work together.

The first antenna and the second antenna may cooperate to transmit radio frequency signals in other manners. Exemplarily, when the display screen is not blocked, the first antenna and the second antenna cooperate with the main diversity antenna. When the display screen is blocked, if the main antenna is blocked and the diversity antenna is not blocked, the main antenna and the diversity antenna can be swapped. Specifically, the unobstructed diversity antenna is used as the target antenna, the target antenna is set as the main set antenna, and the blocked main set antenna is changed into the diversity antenna. Wherein, after the adjustment, the working power of the main antenna and the diversity antenna can also be changed. For example, after the unobstructed diversity antenna becomes the main antenna, its working power is increased. The shaded main antenna becomes a diversity antenna, reducing its operating power.

Please refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. In order to set more antennas on the display screen 120 . The first antenna 140 may include a plurality of first sub-antennas 142, and the plurality of first sub-antennas 142 may each work independently, or may work together with a plurality of them. When the display screen 120 is blocked, at least one unblocked first sub-antenna 142 is selected from the plurality of first sub-antennas 142 as the first target sub-antenna, and the first target sub-antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

Considering that the area of the first region 122 is relatively large, it is not easy for the first region 122 to be completely blocked. The plurality of first sub-antennas 142 are arranged in the first area 122 at intervals, and when the first area 122 of the display screen 120 is blocked, at least one unblocked first sub-antenna 142 is selected from the plurality of first sub-antennas 142 as the first target sub-antenna. Exemplarily, by identifying the signal strength of each first sub-antenna 142, it can be determined that the first sub-antenna 142 whose signal strength is greater than a certain threshold is an unobstructed first sub-antenna 142. The touch position of the display screen 120 can also be used to determine the first sub-antenna 142 far from the touch position as the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142 . After the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142 is used as the first target sub-antenna, the first target sub-antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

Wherein, the working power of the first target sub-antenna can be increased, and the working power of other blocked first sub-antennas can be reduced. The method of increasing the working power of the first target sub-antenna and reducing the working power of the blocked first sub-antenna can use the method of increasing the working power of the second antenna and reducing the working power of the first antenna in the above-mentioned embodiment. This will not be repeated here. In addition, if the functions of the first target sub-antenna and the blocked first sub-antenna are the same, the first target sub-antenna can be used to transmit the radio frequency signal, and the blocked first sub-antenna can be suspended.

It can be understood that the second antenna 160 may also include a plurality of second sub-antennas 162, the plurality of second sub-antennas 162 are arranged around the first antenna 140, and the plurality of second sub-antennas 162 may work independently, or a plurality of them may cooperate with each other. Work. When the display screen 120 is blocked, at least one unblocked second sub-antenna 162 is selected from the plurality of second sub-antennas 162 as the second target sub-antenna, and the second target sub-antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

Considering that the second area 124 has a large area and is arranged around the edge of the display screen 120 , it is not easy for the second area 124 to be completely blocked. The plurality of second sub-antennas 162 are arranged in the second area 124 at intervals, and when the second area 124 of the display screen 120 is blocked, at least one unblocked second sub-antenna 162 is selected from the plurality of second sub-antennas 162 as the second target sub-antenna. Exemplarily, by identifying the signal strength of each second sub-antenna 162, it can be determined that the second sub-antenna 162 whose signal strength is greater than a certain threshold is an unobstructed second sub-antenna 162. The touch position of the display screen 120 can also be used to determine the second sub-antenna 162 far from the touch position as the unobstructed second sub-antenna 162 . After the unobstructed second sub-antenna 162 is used as the second target sub-antenna, the second target sub-antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

Wherein, the working power of the second target sub-antenna can be increased, and the working power of other blocked second sub-antennas can be reduced. The method of increasing the working power of the second target sub-antenna and reducing the working power of the blocked second sub-antenna can adopt the method of increasing the working power of the second antenna and reducing the working power of the first antenna in the above-mentioned embodiment. This will not be repeated here. In addition, if the functions of the second target sub-antenna and the blocked second sub-antenna are the same, the second target sub-antenna can be used to transmit radio frequency signals, and the blocked second sub-antenna can be suspended.

The multiple first sub-antennas 142 form a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna group to transmit the first radio frequency signal, and the multiple second sub-antennas 162 form a multiple input multiple output antenna group to transmit the second radio frequency signal. For example, multiple first sub-antennas 142 or multiple second sub-antennas 162 may form a 4*4 MIMO antenna group or an 8*8 MIMO antenna group, or the like. When the display screen 120 is blocked, both the first sub-antenna 142 and the second sub-antenna 162 may be blocked, which may cause the unblocked first sub-antenna 142 to be insufficient to form an MIMO antenna group, or the unblocked first sub-antenna 142 The second sub-antenna 162 is not sufficient to form an MIMO antenna group. According to the above embodiment, the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142 may be determined as the first target sub-antenna, and the unobstructed second sub-antenna 162 may be determined as the second target sub-antenna, and then the first target sub-antenna may be determined as required. The sub-antenna and the second target sub-antenna form a multiple-input multiple-output antenna group, and transmit the first radio frequency signal or the second radio frequency signal.

Exemplarily, if neither the first target sub-antenna nor the second target sub-antenna is sufficient to form an MIMO antenna group, the first target sub-antenna and the second target sub-antenna may be formed into an MIMO antenna group for The first radio frequency signal or the second radio frequency signal is transmitted.

It should be noted that, the number of the first sub-antennas 142 or the second sub-antennas 162 can be set as required, such as 4, 6, 8, and so on. All the first sub-antennas 142 may be formed into an MIMO antenna group, or some of the first sub-antennas 142 may be selected to form an MIMO antenna group. All of the second sub-antennas 162 may be formed into an MIMO antenna group, or some of the second sub-antennas 162 may be selected to form an MIMO antenna group.

If the first target sub-antenna is not enough to form an MIMO antenna group, and there are remaining antennas after the second target sub-antenna forms an MIMO antenna group, the first target sub-antenna and the remaining second target sub-antennas can be used. A multiple-input multiple-output antenna group is formed to transmit the first radio frequency signal.

If the second target sub-antenna is not enough to form an MIMO antenna group, and there are remaining antennas after the first target sub-antenna forms an MIMO antenna group, the second target sub-antenna and the remaining first target sub-antennas can be used. The second radio frequency signal of the multiple-input multiple-output antenna group is formed.

The first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are arranged on the display screen 120 at intervals, and the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 can be arranged on the display screen 120 at intervals as required. For example, the first antenna 140 is located at the top and the second antenna 160 is located at the bottom. For another example, the first antenna is located on the left side, and the second antenna is located on the right side. Wherein, when the display screen 120 is blocked, one of the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 is selected as the target antenna, and the target antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

The area will not be affected by the battery, power amplifier or metal frame in the electronic device 10 . The area of the display screen 120 is relatively large. By setting antennas in different areas of the display screen 120, more antennas can be installed. Moreover, the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are arranged in different areas of the display screen 120, which can prevent the display screen 120 from being blocked. When the first antenna 140 and the second antenna 160 are blocked at the same time, the overall antenna performance of the electronic device 10 is improved.

Exemplarily, by identifying the signal strength of each first sub-antenna 142, it can be determined that the first sub-antenna 142 whose signal strength is greater than a certain threshold is an unobstructed first sub-antenna 142. The touch position of the display screen 120 can also be used to determine the first sub-antenna 142 far from the touch position as the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142. After the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142 is used as the first target sub-antenna, the first target sub-antenna is used to transmit radio frequency signals.

Wherein, the working power of the first target sub-antenna and/or the second target sub-antenna can be increased, and the working power of other blocked first sub-antennas and/or blocked second sub-antennas can be reduced.

The method of increasing the working power of the second antenna and reducing the working power of the first antenna will not be repeated here. In addition, if the functions of the first target sub-antenna and the blocked first sub-antenna are the same, the first target sub-antenna can be used to transmit the radio frequency signal, and the blocked first sub-antenna can be suspended. If the functions of the second target sub-antenna and the blocked second sub-antenna are the same, the second target sub-antenna can be used to transmit the radio frequency signal, and the blocked second sub-antenna can be suspended.

The plurality of first sub-antennas 142 form a MIMO antenna group to transmit the first radio frequency signal, and the plurality of second sub-antennas 162 form a MIMO antenna group to transmit the second radio frequency signal. For example, multiple first sub-antennas 142 or multiple second sub-antennas 162 may form a 4*4 MIMO antenna group or an 8*8 MIMO antenna group, or the like. When the display screen 120 is blocked, both the first sub-antenna 142 and the second sub-antenna 162 may be blocked, which may cause the unblocked first sub-antenna 142 to be insufficient to form an MIMO antenna group, or the unblocked first sub-antenna 142 The second sub-antenna 162 is not sufficient to form an MIMO antenna group. According to the above embodiment, the unobstructed first sub-antenna 142 may be determined as the first target sub-antenna, and the unobstructed second sub-antenna 162 may be determined as the second target sub-antenna, and then the first target sub-antenna may be determined as required. The sub-antenna and the second target sub-antenna form a multiple-input multiple-output antenna group, and transmit the first radio frequency signal or the second radio frequency signal.
