可以理解,当第一构件11与第二构件12相向运动至相互层叠时,可折叠电子设备100处于折叠状态(请参图4或图5)。当第一构件11与第二构件12由相互层叠的状态背向运动至极限位置,即第一构件11与第二构件12无法再背向运动时,可折叠电子设备100处于展开状态(请参图2)。可以理解,本申请不对可折叠电子设备100处于展开状态时,第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度进行限制。例如,在一些实施例中,当可折叠电子设备100处于展开状态时,第一构件11、弯折部13及第二构件12形成一大致为180°的平面;在一些实施例中,当可折叠电子设备100处于展开状态时,第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度亦可能小于180°。
可以理解,第一构件11与第二构件12均包括承载件及电子元件。该承载件可由中框与边框101一体成型,用于承载电子元件,并为可折叠电子设备100提供机械防护及/或电磁防护。可以理解,电子元件包括但不限于上述的处理器110、存储器、充电管理模块140、移动通信模块150、无线通信模块160、音频模块170及传感器模块180等。
在一些实施例中,第一构件11、弯折部13及第二构件12的一侧的表面共同设置有显示屏194。如此,显示屏194可随着第一构件11及第二构件12的运动相应呈现折叠或展开状态。例如,当第一构件11与第二构件12处于相互层叠状态时,显示屏194亦呈折叠状态,且设置于第一构件11与第二构件12之间。当第一构件11与第二构件12展开状态,且第一构件11与第二 构件12之间的角度大致为180°时,显示屏194整体亦大致为一平面。
可以理解,可折叠电子设备100通过展开显示屏194,以对应增加可折叠电子设备100的显示面积,提高信息交互效率及提高用户体验;可折叠电子设备100通过折叠显示屏194,提高可折叠电子设备100的便携性。
请一并参阅图4,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备100还设置有另一显示屏20。显示屏20为不可折叠的屏幕(即平面屏)。显示屏20与显示屏194分别设置于可折叠电子设备100不同的表面上。在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备100设置有显示屏194的一面称为正面,且显示屏194可以称之为内屏。显示屏20设置于可折叠电子设备100的背面,示例的,当第一构件11相对第二构件12折叠时,显示屏20设置于第一构件11远离第二构件12的表面。如此,显示屏20可以称之为外屏或者辅屏幕等。
请参阅图5,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备100还包括背盖30。背盖30亦设置于可折叠电子设备100的背面。示例的,背盖30设置于第二构件12远离第一构件11的表面。
请继续参阅图6,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备100还包括磁吸模块40。磁吸模块40包括第一磁体41及第二磁体42。其中,第一磁体41及第二磁体42分别对应设置于第一构件11的边框101及第二构件12的边框101上。第一磁体41与第二磁体42互相靠近的两端互为异名磁极。如此,当可折叠电子设备100呈折叠状态时,第一磁体41与第二磁体42互相吸引,以使可折叠电子设备100的第一构件11与第二构件12不易展开。同时,为了方便用户克服第一磁体41与第二磁体42之间的磁吸力展开第一构件11与第二构件12,第一构件11与第二构件12之间还预设有缝隙102,以形成扣手结构,从而方便用户打开可折叠电子设备100。
在一些实施例中,第一磁体41设置于第一构件11远离弯折部13的一端的边框101的大致中间位置。第二磁体42设置于第二构件12远离弯折部13的一端的边框101的大致中间位置。
然而,上述磁吸模块40的设计,一方面要求用户同时对第一构件11及第二构件12进行操作,才能打开可折叠电子设备100;另一方面第一构件11与第二构件12之间预留的缝隙也容易在显示屏194表面累积灰尘,极大地降低了用户体验。
请一并参阅图7至9,本申请另一实施例还提供可折叠电子设备200。可折叠电子设备200包括第一构件11、第二构件12、弯折部13、显示屏20、显示屏194及背盖30。可折叠电子设备200与可折叠电子设备100的结构大致相同,区别在于可折叠电子设备200将磁吸模块40替换为电磁模块50。
其中,电磁模块50用于提供相应的吸引力或斥力,使第一构件11与第二构件12互相吸引或不再相吸。其中,当电磁模块50提供吸引力,可使第一构件11与第二构件12相吸,实现第一构件11与第二构件12稳固地折叠;当电磁模块50提供斥力,可使第一构件11与第二构件12相互排斥,进而使第一构件11相对第二构件12弹开,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
请参阅图7,在一些实施例中,电磁模块50包括第一磁吸件51、第二磁吸件52及驱动单元53。其中,第一磁吸件51设置于第一构件11远离弯折部13的一侧,且靠近边框201的中部设置。第二磁吸件52设置于第二构件12远离弯折部13的一侧,且靠近边框201的中部设置。第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52相对弯折部13所在直线互相对称。其中,第一磁吸件51及第二磁吸件52均包括至少一永磁体。在第一构件11与第二构件12互相层叠,且第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52的异名磁极相对时,通过第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力,使第一构件11与第二构件12互相吸引,稳固地折叠,进而使第一构件11与第二构件12不易张开。在第一构件11与第二构件12互相层叠,且第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52的异名磁极互相远离时,通过第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的斥力,使第一构件11与第二构件12互相排斥,不再相吸,进而方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
驱动单元53亦设置于第一构件11上,且驱动单元53电连接至第一磁吸件51,用于驱动第一磁吸件51移动,使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52两者的异名磁极互相靠近或互相远离,以实现第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间互相吸引,或实现第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间不再相吸。可以理解,第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间不再相吸的情况可以包括两种情况:第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52相斥;或第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间互相远离,没有吸引力。
在一些实施例中,第一磁吸件51为永磁体,对应地,第二磁吸件52为能够被永磁体吸引的非磁体,例如铁、镍、钴等能够被永磁体吸引的金属部件。如此,通过驱动单元53驱动第一磁吸件51远离第二磁吸件52,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间不再互相吸引,从而使第一构件11与第二构件12不再相吸。或通过驱动单元53驱动第一磁吸件51靠近第二磁吸件52,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间互相吸引,从而使第一构件11与第二构件12互相吸引,稳固地折叠。可以理解,在一些实施例中,可通过驱动单元53控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的距离的远近,从而对应控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力的大小。
请一并参阅图7及图8,在一些实施例中,电磁模块50包括第一磁吸件51、第二磁吸件52及驱动单元53。且第一磁吸件51包括铁芯511与线圈512。第二磁吸件52为永磁体或可被具有磁性的物质吸引的金属部件。其中,线圈512缠绕于铁芯511上,用于共同产生一磁力。驱动单元53电连接至线圈512,用于控制流经线圈512的电流的方向及/或大小,使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52两者互相靠近或互相远离,以实现第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52互相吸引,或实现第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。
例如,当线圈512上流经的电流方向为第一方向时,第一磁吸件51产生第一磁力,以与所述第二磁吸件52互相排斥。当线圈512上流经的电流的方向为第二方向时,第一磁吸件51产生第二磁力,以与第二磁吸件52互相吸引。在一些实施例中,当线圈512上流经的电流方向为第一方向时,驱动单 元53还通过提高流经线圈512上的电流大小,以提高所述第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的斥力,使第一构件11与所述第二构件12不再相吸。在一些实施例中,当线圈512上流经的电流方向为第二方向时,驱动单元53还通过提高流经线圈512上的电流大小,提高第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力,从而增大第一构件11相对第二构件12运动的角速度。
可以理解,可折叠电子设备200通过设置电磁模块50,使第一构件11与第二构件12无需设置相应的缝隙102,从而降低第一构件11与第二构件12之间落入灰尘的概率,提升显示屏194的清洁度。
可以理解,可折叠电子设备200可通过控制驱动单元53,以控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间之间的吸引力或斥力大小。如此,当第一构件11相对第二构件12折叠时,驱动单元53可控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力降低,或使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间产生斥力,以方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200;当第一构件11相对第二构件12的角度逐渐减小直至角度达到预设角度范围时,控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力增加,以使可折叠电子设备200稳固地折叠。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,电磁模块50包括两驱动单元53。如此,两驱动单元53分别电连接至第一磁吸件51及第二磁吸件52。且其中一驱动单元53与第一磁吸件51共同设置于第一构件11上,另一驱动单元53与第二磁吸件52共同设置于第二构件12上。如此,两驱动单元53分别控制第一磁吸件51及第二磁吸件52,以控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力或斥力的大小。如此,当第一构件11相对第二构件12折叠时,两驱动单元53可控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力降低,或使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间产生斥力,以方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200;当第一构件11相对第二构件12的角度逐渐减小直至角度达到预设角度范围时,两驱动单元53控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力增加,以使可折叠电子设备200稳固地折叠。可以理解,两驱动单元53的工作原理与上述记载内容相同,在此不再赘述,详情请参上述内容。
请参阅图9,可以理解,在其他实施例中,可折叠电子设备200亦可设置两电磁模块50。其中,两电磁模块50的第一磁吸件51均设置于第一构件11远离弯折部13的一侧,且两第一磁吸件51分别设置于第一构件12互相远离的两端。两电磁模块50的第二磁吸件52均设置于第二构件12远离弯折部的一侧,且两第二磁吸件52分别设置于第二构件12互相远离的两端。如此,两第一磁吸件51及两第二磁吸件52分别设置于可折叠电子设备200的四角。当两第一磁吸件51分别与两对应的第二磁吸件52互相吸引时,可使第一构件11与第二构件12互相吸合,使可折叠电子设备200的第一构件11与第二构件12不易展开。当两第一磁吸件51分别与两对应的第二磁吸件52不再相吸时,可使第一构件11与第二构件12互相弹开,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
请继续参阅图10,在本申请中,可折叠电子设备200通过若干传感器采集基于用户操作产生的数据。处理器110电连接至若干传感器,以接收数据,从而并输出对应的第一触发信号或第二触发信号至电磁模块50的驱动单元53。驱动单元53接收到第一触发信号或第二触发信号后,执行对应的第一操作或第二操作。
在一些实施例中,第一触发信号体现用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图,第二触发信号体现用户折叠可折叠电子设备200的意图。如此,对应的第一操作为:当第一构件11相对第二构件12折叠时,控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力降低或使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间产生斥力;第二操作为:当第一构件11相对第二构件12的角度逐渐减小直至达到预设角度范围时,控制第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力增大,以使第一构件11相对第二构件12运动的角速度达到预设角速度。
下面以可折叠电子设备200为例,对本申请实施例的可折叠电子设备200通过结合用户的使用习惯及使用场景,进而输出第一触发信号或第二触发信号,以控制电磁模块50提供相应的吸引力或斥力,从而实现可折叠电子设备200的折叠或展开的过程进行说明。示例的,为了描述方便,以下实施例中,将显示屏194称之为内屏194。
可以理解,如下各应用场景的实施方式可以任意进行组合,例如可以单独使用,也可以相互结合使用,以实现不同的技术效果,对此不作限定。
请一并参阅图11a-图18b,以下以应用场景一至应用场景八为例介绍当可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态时,响应用户操作以控制第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力降低或产生斥力的工作过程。
应用场景一:
请一并参阅图11a及图11b,可以理解,在一些场景中,用户打开处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200时,经常会将左右手的拇指放在边框201上,通过拇指对边框201用力,以分离第一构件11与第二构件12。如此,处理器110可通过陀螺仪传感器180B识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图,以向驱动单元53输出第一触发信号。
例如,请一并参阅图12,在一些实施例中,处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测可折叠电子设备200当前的状态。其中,可折叠电子设备200设置有以弯折部13为中心,分别设置于第一构件11及第二构件12上的陀螺仪传感器180B,且两陀螺仪传感器180B均电连接至处理器110。两陀螺仪传感器180B分别用于采集第一构件11与第二构件12围绕三个轴,例如X轴、Y轴及Z轴的角速度。以设置于第一构件11的陀螺仪传感器180B为例,其中,请一并参阅图4,X轴和Y轴平行于第一构件11上的显示屏194,X轴为第一构件11的宽度方向,Y轴为第一构件11的长度方向,Z轴垂直于第一构件11平面。即Z轴为与第一构件11上的显示屏194垂直的方向。
当处理器110通过两陀螺仪传感器180B检测到第一构件11及第二构件12围绕三轴的角速度均相同,即第一构件11与第二构件12的姿态相同,如 此,处理器110判断第一构件11与第二构件12互相重叠,即可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态。压力传感器180A用于采集压力信号。在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备200的两边框201上分别设置有压力传感器180A。两压力传感器180A亦电连接至处理器110,以将采集到的数据输出至处理器110。
当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态,且处理器110通过压力传感器180A检测到所述压力信号大于或等于一预设阈值时,处理器110发送第一触发信号至驱动单元53。驱动单元53接收到第一触发信号后,执行第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202(请参图11b)。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,本申请实施例通过分别在第一构件11及第二构件12的远离弯折部13的一侧的边框201上均设置压力传感器180A,使得习惯使用左手或习惯使用右手的用户均可以顺利使用可折叠电子设备200。在一些实施例中,压力传感器180A亦可以仅设置在可折叠电子设备200一侧的边框201上。在一些实施例中,还可在可折叠电子设备200的外屏20及/或背盖30上设置压力传感器180A,以采集基于用户操作的数据。
可以理解,在其他实施例中,处理器110亦可以通过其他传感器检测第一构件11相对于第二构件12的位置,从而确定可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态或展开状态。例如,在一些实施例中,磁传感器180D包括霍尔传感器及磁体。霍尔传感器及磁体均设置于弯折部13上。弯折部13包括活动件(例如弹簧)及推动件,通过推动件推动活动件伸缩运动,从而实现第一构件11相对第二构件12展开或折叠。霍尔传感器及磁体分别设置于活动件的两端,如此,磁体在推动件的推动下,相对霍尔传感器运动。其中,当推动件推动磁体靠近霍尔传感器时,以使第一构件11相对第二构件12折叠,霍尔传感器检测到磁场强度变强;当推动件推动磁体远离霍尔传感器时,以使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开,霍尔传感器检测到磁场变弱。如此,处理器110电连接至磁传感器180D,可通过读取霍尔传感器检测到的磁场强度,判断可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态或展开状态。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,弯折部13还设置有弹性卡合结构(图未示),使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开,例如第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度呈180°时,互相卡合。如此,在该应用场景中,当第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开产生缝隙202后,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202并紧握第一构件11,通过单手甩动可折叠电子设备200,使第二构件12相对第一构件11展开,使可折叠电子设备200展开时更加顺畅便捷。
应用场景二:
请再次参阅图3及图11a,可以理解,用户打开处于折叠状态的可折叠 电子设备200时,经常会将可折叠电子设备200放置为习惯的预设姿态,例如竖屏放置姿态等,同时两手分别触摸(按压)可折叠电子设备200的两边框201或触摸(按压)可折叠电子设备200的外屏20及背盖30以分离第一构件11与第二构件12。如此,处理器110可通过陀螺仪传感器180B及压力传感器180A等识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
请再次参阅图12,在一些实施例中,两陀螺仪传感器180B分别用于采集第一构件11及第二构件围绕可折叠电子设备200三轴,例如X轴、Y轴和Z轴的角速度及重力感应数据。
处理器110可分别通过两陀螺仪传感器180B采集到的角速度数据或重力感应数据,判断可折叠电子设备200当前的姿态(例如为竖屏放置姿态或横屏放置姿态)。可以理解,处理器110可通过陀螺仪传感器180B采集的角速度数据进行积分,以得到可折叠电子设备200在每个轴上相应的角位移,即可折叠电子设备200每个轴倾斜的角度。
在一些实施例中,当处理器110通过两陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200为折叠状态(即两陀螺仪传感器180B检测到的角速度数据一致),且可折叠电子设备200的Y轴与水平面的角度在一预设角度范围(例如0°至45°),可折叠电子设备200的Z轴与水平面的角度在另一预设角度范围(例如-5°至5°)时,可判断可折叠电子设备200的姿态为竖屏放置姿态。
处理器110还通过压力传感器180A采集压力信号。
当处理器110通过两陀螺仪传感器180B判断可折叠电子设备200当前处于折叠状态,且可折叠电子设备200的姿态为竖屏姿态,且处理器110还通过压力传感器180A感应到用户在外屏20、背盖或边框201上的按压操作时,处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,从而控制驱动单元53执行第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间的吸引力降低或使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52之间产生斥力。如此,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202(请参图11b)。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,在其他实施例中,处理器110亦可以通过加速度传感器180E检测可折叠电子设备200各个方向上的加速度,以判断可折叠电子设备200是否为竖屏姿态。
可以理解,在本应用场景中,压力传感器180A可设置于第一构件11及第二构件12的边框201、外屏20或背盖30三者中的任意一个或几个位置上。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,压力传感器180A还可以替换成触摸传感器180K。处理器110可通过触摸传感器180K检测用户在边框201、外屏20或背盖30上的触摸操作。
可以理解,在本应用场景中,通过增加可折叠电子设备200的姿态识别,进一步降低因误触展开可折叠电子设备200的事件的发生。
应用场景三:
请一并参阅图图13a及图13b。其中,图13a为可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态时,可折叠电子设备200的外屏20显示的用户界面。图13b为用户点开预设软件(例如阅读软件)后,可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时,内屏194显示的用户界面。
可以理解,当用户点击处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200上的一些软件,例如视频软件、读书软件或办公软件等,用户常常习惯展开可折叠电子设备200,以得到更大的显示面积,从而提高娱乐体验或信息交互效率。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B及处理器110,识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B判断可折叠电子设备200的当前状态为折叠状态,且处理器110识别到用户打开预设软件时,处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202(请参图11b)。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,预设软件可以是视频软件、办公软件(例如文字处理软件、演示片制作软件、图表软件、思维导图软件、画板软件等)、阅读软件或游戏软件等。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,预设软件可由用户自行添加,本申请不对预设软件的类型进行具体限制。
可以理解,处理器110控制电磁模块50的驱动单元53执行对应操作的同时,还将当前的显示界面切换至全屏显示界面。可以理解,在本实施例中,全屏显示界面指的是通过内屏194进行显示的界面。
可以理解,本申请提供的可折叠电子设备200,可在处于折叠状态时,当处理器110检测到用户点击预设软件,提前解除第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态,并提醒用户使用显示面积更大的内屏观看视频或阅读电子书,且方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200,提高用户体验。
应用场景四:

可以理解,当用户在折叠状态下,点击视频软件的全屏功能键时,用户可能希望展开可折叠电子设备200,以得到更大的显示面积,从而提高娱乐 体验或信息交互效率。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B及处理器110,识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,处理器110可识别可折叠电子设备200当前的使用场景,例如视频播放场景或音乐播放场景等。处理器110还可通过陀螺仪传感器180B判断可折叠电子设备200的当前状态。
当处理器110检测到用户于视频播放场景下点击全屏功能键(请参图14a),且处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B判断可折叠电子设备200当前为折叠状态时,处理器110发送第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,从而使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。如此,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,处理器110控制电磁模块50的驱动单元53执行对应操作的同时,还用以将当前的显示界面切换至全屏显示界面。可以理解,在本实施例中,全屏显示界面指的是通过内屏194进行显示的界面。
应用场景五:
请一并参阅图15a及图15b,图15a为当可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态,且用户调用分屏功能时外屏20显示的用户界面。图15b为可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时,内屏194显示的用户界面。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备200还具有分屏功能。可以理解,分屏是指在同一终端设备中,为了满足用户在同一时间段对多个应用程序的使用需求,以在同一显示界面中显示多个应用程序。
例如,请参阅图15a,在一些实施例中,用户可在可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态时,打开任一应用程序,并通过在外屏20的左侧边缘或右侧边缘,从外向内滑动屏幕并停顿的操作,调出分屏应用栏,长按并拖拽该分屏应用栏中的应用程序至屏幕中,进而触发应用程序的分屏。可以理解,在其他实施例中,用户亦可根据相应的可折叠电子设备200执行其他操作,以实现分屏。
可以理解,当用户调用处于折叠状态下的可折叠电子设备200的分屏功能时,用户可能希望展开可折叠电子设备200,以得到更大的显示面积,同时显示两个用户界面。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B及处理器110,识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,处理器110可检测可折叠电子设备200的分屏功能是否触发。处理器110还通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测可折叠电子设备200当前的状态。
当处理器110检测到用户触发可折叠电子设备200的分屏功能,且处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200为折叠状态时, 处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,在本应用场景中,通过处理器110检测到用户触发分屏事件并结合可折叠电子设备200的当前状态,以进一步控制第一构件11与第二构件12之间的吸合状态解除,从而方便用户下一步展开可折叠电子设备200。
应用场景六:
请一并参阅图16a及图16b,其中,图16a为用户一边行走,一边手持处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200的示意图,图16b为当可折叠电子设备200连接到预设无线网络,且用户静坐使用处于展开状态的可折叠电子设备200的示意图。
可以理解,当用户携带处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200走进办公区,连接到办公区的无线网络,用户可能更希望展开可折叠电子设备200,以得到更大的显示面积,以协助办公。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B、加速度传感器180E、无线通信模块160及处理器110,识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
可以理解,陀螺仪传感器180B可用于检测可折叠电子设备200在Y轴、X轴及Z轴三个方向上的加速度及重力感应,从而检测可折叠电子设备200的状态(例如折叠或展开)及判断用户的运动状态(例如静坐或走动等)。在一些实施例中,处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测可折叠电子设备200当前的状态,及用户的运动状态。
处理器110还可通过无线通信模块160确定用户所处地点。
当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B判断可折叠电子设备200为折叠状态,且判断用户由行走状态切换至静坐状态,处理器110还通过无线通信模块160检测到可折叠电子设备200处于预设地点,则处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,在一些场景中,处理器110通过确定无线通信模块160连接到预设无线网络,以确定可折叠电子设备200处于预设地点。可以理解,预设的无线网络可以是办公室或书房等办公地点的Wi-Fi网络。例如,当可折叠电子设备200连接到办公室的Wi-Fi网络,且用户由行走状态转为静坐状 态时,可以预测,用户下一步可能在该办公室办公。显然,用户很有可能展开可折叠电子设备200,以增大显示面积,提高办公效率。如此,处理器110通过控制驱动单元53执行相应的第一操作,提前解除第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200进行办公。
可以理解,在一些场景中,处理器110还通过无线通信模块160直接获取可折叠电子设备200所处位置的信息(例如经纬度等),以判断可折叠电子设备是否处于预设地点。例如,在一些实施例中,处理器110可通过无线通信模块160中的GPS通信技术确定用户处于公司,且处理器110还检测到用户由行走状态转为静坐状态时,可以预测,用户下一步可能在公司办公。显然,用户很有可能展开可折叠电子设备200,以增大显示面积,提高办公效率。如此,处理器110通过控制驱动单元53执行相应的第一操作,提前解除第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200进行办公。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,处理器110还可通过加速度传感器180E采集可折叠电子设备200当前在各个方向上的加速度的大小,进而通过各个方向上的加速度的变化,判断用户的状态变化。例如,处理器110可通过加速度传感器180E检测到的各个方向上的加速度的变化,判断用户当前是行走状态或是静坐状态。如此,处理器110可通过陀螺仪传感器180B结合加速度传感器180E检测到用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
应用场景七:
请继续参阅图17a及图17b,其中,图17a为处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200未连接到预设无线设备时的示意图。图17b为处于展开状态的可折叠电子设备200连接到预设无线设备时的示意图。
可以理解,当用户将处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200连接至一无线设备,例如蓝牙键盘等,可以预测,用户可能更希望展开可折叠电子设备200,以得到更大的显示面积,以协助办公。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B、无线通信模块160及处理器110,识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测可折叠电子设备200当前的状态。处理器110还通过无线通信模块160检测可折叠电子设备200是否连接到预设的无线设备A 1。
当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200当前的状态为可折叠状态,且处理器110通过无线通信模块160检测到可折叠电子设备200连接到预设的无线设备A 1,则处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,在一些场景中,该无线设备A1可以是蓝牙无线设备,例如无线键盘、手写笔、无线耳机等。
应用场景八:
请一并参阅图18a及图18b,图18a为可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态时接收到投屏请求时的示意图;图18b为可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时作为被投屏设备时,内屏194显示的用户界面。
在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备200还可与其他电子设备通信连接,以进行多屏协同操作。例如,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备200可作为投屏设备投屏至其他电子设备,或作为被投屏设备接受其他电子设备的投屏请求。
可以理解,处理器110还用于检测可折叠电子设备200是否触发多屏协同操作。例如,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备接受其他电子设备的协同操作请求,例如投屏请求。
可以理解,当处于折叠状态的可折叠电子设备200接收到至少两电子设备的投屏请求时,用户可能更希望展开可折叠电子设备200,以同时展示两电子设备的投屏界面。如此,可通过陀螺仪传感器180B及处理器110识别用户展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,陀螺仪传感器180B用于检测可折叠电子设备200当前的状态。当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200为折叠状态,且处理器110检测到用户接受至少两电子设备,例如电子设备200a及电子设备200b的投屏请求时,处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,处理器110在接收到至少两投屏设备的投屏请求时,通过检测可折叠电子设备200的当前状态,及控制驱动单元53执行相应的操作,提前解除第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
可以理解,在其他实施例中,可折叠电子设备200触发多屏协同操作还可以是触发扩展显示模式或触发镜像显示模式。其中,可折叠电子设备200触发扩展显示模式是指可折叠电子设备200作为个人电脑(personal computer,PC)的第二个显示屏,用以展示和PC不同的内容。可折叠电子设备200触发镜像显示模式是指可折叠电子设备200作为PC的第二个显示屏,且用以展示和PC相同的内容。在这两种模式下,可折叠电子设备200均可脱离PC独立被用户操作,且用户还可通过操作可折叠电子设备200的显示界面来实现对PC的操作。
可以理解,由于PC的显示界面较大,当可折叠电子设备200触发扩展显示模式或镜像显示模式时,用户显然更倾向于展开可折叠电子设备200,以获得更大的显示面积,方便操控PC界面。
可以理解,在上述各应用场景中,当第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态解除后,可折叠电子设备200的处理器还可通过音频模块等向用户发出提示信息。该提示信息用于提示用户当前可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态已解除,可将可折叠电子设备200展开。可以理解,提示信息可以是显示于外屏20上的文字信息,或通过扬声器170A发出的语音信息,或是通过马达191产生振动提示,或是通过闪光灯的闪烁产生提示。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,当可折叠电子设备200展开后,处理器110可继续驱动驱动单元53工作,以使第一磁吸件51恢复原本的状态。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,处理器110在上述任一应用场景中控制驱动单元53执行相应的第一操作以使第一构件11与第二构件12不再相吸后,当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B在预设时间后未检测到第一构件11相对第二构件12展开时,处理器110控制驱动单元53执行相应的操作,以使第一磁吸件51恢复原状,从而第一构件11与第二构件12恢复至相应的吸合状态,直至上述的任一应用场景触发时,第一构件11与第二构件12的吸合状态再次解除。
可以理解,在应用场景三至应用场景八中,还可通过设置于可折叠电子设备200上的压力传感器180A及/或触摸传感器180K,进一步确认用户的展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。例如,在应用场景三至应用场景八中,在处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53之前,处理器110还通过压力传感器180A检测压力信号是否大于或等于预设阈值。当处理器110通过压力传感器180A检测到压力信号大于或等于预设阈值时,处理器110才输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53,从而控制驱动单元53执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。
可以理解,在其他实施例中,可折叠电子设备200还设置有语音识别模块(图未示)。处理器110通过语音识别模块及其他传感器,以共同识别用户折叠可折叠电子设备200或展开可折叠电子设备200的意图。
例如,当处理器110通过陀螺仪传感器180B检测到可折叠电子设备200为折叠状态,且处理器110通过语音识别模块检测到预设语音指令(例如“芝麻开门”)时,处理器110输出第一触发信号至驱动单元53。驱动单元53接收到第一触发信号后,执行对应的第一操作,以使第一磁吸件51与第二磁吸件52不再相吸。从而,第一构件11与第二构件12相互弹开,产生缝隙202。如此,用户可将手指伸入该缝隙202,手动分离第一构件11及第二构件12,使第一构件11相对第二构件12展开。如此,通过上述过程使可折叠电子设备200的吸合状态解除,方便用户展开可折叠电子设备200。
请继续参阅图19-图20b,以下以应用场景九至应用场景十为例介绍当可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时,响应用户操作以控制第一磁吸件51相对第二磁吸件52的吸引力的工作过程。
应用场景九:
请一并参阅图19,可以理解,在一些实施例中,用户闭合可折叠电子设备200时,第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度会逐渐减小。如此,当可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时,可通过检测第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度变化趋势,以判断识别用户折叠可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,角度传感器180Q用于检测第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度。可以理解,角度传感器180Q可安装于弯折部13上,通过检测弯折部13弯折的角度确定第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度。如此,处理器110通过角度传感器180Q检测第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度,以判断第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度变化趋势,及判断第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度是否达到预设角度范围(例如25°-35°)。当处理器110判断第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度逐渐减小,直至第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度达到预设角度范围时,处理器110输出第二触发信号至驱动单元53。驱动单元53接收到第二触发信号后,执行对应的第二操作,以改变流经线圈512的电流,控制第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力,即控制第一构件11与第二构件12之间的吸引力,从而调整第一构件11相对第二构件12运动时的角速度,为用户折叠可折叠电子设备200提供助力。
例如,在一些实施例中,当驱动单元53接收到第二触发信号后,执行对应的第二操作,以增大第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力。
在一些实施例中,驱动单元53接收到第二触发信号后,还通过控制流经线圈512的电流的大小,以使第一构件11相对第二构件12运动时的角速度达到预设角速度。
在一些实施例中,该预设角速度可以是一恒定角速度,如此,当第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度达到预设角度时,第一构件11可相对第二构件12匀速运动,直至第一构件11与第二构件12互相吸合。
在一些实施例中,该预设角速度可以是变化的角速度。比如,在一些实施例中,当处理器110判断第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度逐渐减小,直至第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度达到第一预设角度(例如60°)时,处理器110输出第一控制信号至驱动单元53,如此,驱动单元53先控制第一构件11相对第二构件12以第一预设角速度运动。当第一构件11相对第二构件12继续运动,以使第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度达到第二预设角度,且第二预设角度小于第一预设角度(例如第二预设角度为30°)时,处理器110输出第二控制信号至驱动单元53,以使驱动单元53控制第一构件11相对第二构件12以第二预设角速度运动,且第二预设角速度小于 第一预设角速度。如此,可在缩短可折叠电子设备200闭合所用的时间的同时,保证可折叠电子设备200以稳定的速度实现折叠。
可以理解,因用户的手部肌肉力量不同,使用习惯不同,用户在闭合可折叠电子设备200时使用的力度也不同,如此可折叠电子设备200折叠时的闭合体验可能因用户不同而导致不同。而本申请实施例,还通过处理器110控制第一构件11相对第二构件12运动时的角速度达到预设角速度,一方面使可折叠电子设备200以稳定的速度闭合;另一方面使第一构件11与第二构件12互相接触的瞬间,发出“砰”的声音,提高用户闭合可折叠电子设备200时的手感。
可以理解,预设角度范围及预设角速度等均可以根据具体产品的需要进行设置,本申请不对预设角度及预设角速度进行限制。
应用场景十:
请一并参阅图20a-图20b,图20a为可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态时,接收到来电时内屏194显示的用户界面。图20b为可折叠电子设备200处于折叠状态时,接收到来电时外屏20显示的用户界面。
可以理解,在一些场景中,当可折叠电子设备200处于展开状态,且接收到来电时,用户为了保护隐私,可能需要听筒接听。如此,当可折叠电子设备200接到来电,且第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度逐渐减小直至达到预设角度范围(例如25°-30°)时,可识别用户折叠可折叠电子设备200的意图。
在一些实施例中,移动通信模块150用于实现无线通信。处理器110可通过移动通信模块检测可折叠电子设备200是否接到来电。处理器110通过角度传感器180Q检测第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度。当处理器110通过移动通信模块150检测到可折叠电子设备200接到来电,且处理器110通过角度传感器180Q判断第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度逐渐减小直至达到预设角度范围时,处理器110输出第二触发信号至驱动单元53。驱动单元53接收到第二触发信号后,执行相应的第二操作,以控制第一磁吸件51增大对所述第二磁吸件52的吸引力,从而调整第一构件11相对第二构件12运动的角速度。
如此,处理器110通过控制驱动单元53改变流经线圈512的电流,以控制第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力,即控制第一构件11与第二构件12之间的吸引力,从而调整第一构件11相对第二构件12运动时的角速度,为用户折叠可折叠电子设备200提供助力。
在一些实施例中,驱动单元53接收到第二触发信号后,还控制流经线圈512的电流的大小,以调整第一磁吸件51对第二磁吸件52的吸引力,从而使第一构件11相对第二构件12运动时的角速度达到预设角速度。
可以理解,在本应用场景中,先通过判断可折叠电子设备200是否接到来电,再进一步判断第一构件11与第二构件之间的角度范围是否达到预设角 度范围,以确认用户折叠可折叠电子设备200的意图。如此,为用户折叠可折叠电子设备200提供助力,方便握持可折叠电子设备200进行通话,保证用户个人隐私。
请一并参阅图3及图11a,可以理解,用户在折叠可折叠电子设备200时,将会用力按压可折叠电子设备200的外屏20、背盖30或边框201。可以理解,压力传感器180A可设置于外屏20、背盖30或边框201三个位置中的任意一个位置或三者中的任意组合的位置上。
可以理解,在一些实施例中,可折叠电子设备200还设置有听筒接听功能及免提接听功能。当可折叠电子设备200的处理器110检测到来电及用户点击听筒接听功能,且角度传感器180Q检测到第一构件11与第二构件12之间的角度为180°时,处理器110输出第二触发信号至驱动单元53,以控制驱动单元53执行对应的第二操作。
可以理解,本申请提供一种可折叠电子设备200,通过结合用户的使用习惯及使用场景,为用户展开或折叠可折叠电子设备200提供助力,一方面使得可折叠电子设备具有更佳的开合体验,有助于提升用户的操作效率及用户体验;另一方面由于可折叠电子设备200可结合用户使用场景,自行为用户展开可折叠电子设备200提供助力,因此,可折叠电子设备200无需设置扣手结构,即可方便用户开合可折叠电子设备200,如此,可折叠电子设备200折叠时,第一构件11与第二构件12上的中框可紧密贴合设计,提升可折叠电子设备200内屏的清洁度。
可以理解,在上述的应用场景一至应用场景十中,均以可折叠电子设备200为内折设备进行说明。在其他实施例中,本领域技术人员,亦可将上述应用场景一至应用场景十中的各工作原理及工作过程应用至外折的可折叠电子设备。
本申请还提供一种可折叠电子设备300。可折叠电子设备300可折叠成三层或三层以上。在一些实施例中,以可折叠电子设备300为三折的可折叠电子设备为例。可折叠电子设备300亦包括第一构件11、第二构件12及弯折部13。可折叠电子设备300与可折叠电子设备200的结构大致相同,区别在于可折叠电子设备300还包括第三构件14及另一弯折部13。其中,第一构件11与第二构件12通过弯折部13连接,第二构件12与第三构件14通过另一弯折部13连接,如此,可折叠电子设备300可折叠形成三层的结构。
可以理解,在其他实施例中,可折叠电子设备300亦可包括N个构件及N-1个弯折部,以弯折形成N层的结构。其中,每相邻的两个构件之间通过一弯折部连接。可以理解,对于可折叠形成多层的可折叠电子设备300,只要至少三个构件中的其中两个构件展平即可认为形成展开状态。
在一些实施例中,本申请还提供一种可折叠电子设备400。可折叠电子设备400以笔记本电脑为例。可折叠电子设备400亦包括第一构件11及第二构件12。其中,第一构件11可以是安装有显示屏的一侧,第二构件12可以 是安装有键盘的一侧。第一构件11与第二构件12的边框401上设置有两压力传感器180A。且两压力传感器180A分别设置于第一构件11与第二构件12远离弯折部13的一侧的边框401上。可以理解,上述电磁模块50及识别模块均可设置于可折叠电子设备400上。如此,上述各应用场景亦可根据实际情况,适用于可折叠电子设备400,以方便用户展开或折叠可折叠电子设备400。
以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案而非限制,尽管参照较佳实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解,可以对本申请的技术方案进行修改或等同替换,而不脱离本申请技术方案的精神和实质。
