Definitions
- Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device, and more particularly, to an electronic device including a geomagnetic sensor, to an electronic device capable of determining whether a cover is coupled (attached or detached) to the electronic device together with determining magnetic north. it's about
- a single electronic device such as a mobile communication terminal may be equipped with various functions. For example, not only communication functions, but also entertainment functions such as games, multimedia functions such as music/video playback, communication and security functions for mobile banking, schedule management, and electronic wallet functions are integrated into one electronic device. These electronic devices are miniaturized so that users can conveniently carry them.
- a cover eg, an accessory case
- a cover including a magnetic material may be provided, and a sensor (eg, hall IC) for detecting proximity of a magnetic material may be mounted on the electronic device.
- a sensor eg, hall IC
- a processor included in the electronic device may receive a signal generated by the hall IC sensor and determine whether the cover is mounted. As such, conventionally, it was determined whether or not the cover was mounted using the magnetic force generated between the magnetic material and the corresponding hall IC sensor.
- the performance of a plurality of electronic components disposed inside the electronic device may be directly affected by the magnetic force of the magnetic body and the hall IC sensor, and in some cases, performance may be significantly deteriorated.
- magnetic force generated between the magnetic material and the hall IC sensor may interfere with radio waves of an antenna mounted inside an electronic device, thereby degrading performance.
- the hall IC sensor for detecting the magnetic force of the magnetic material of the cover may have a limited space for mounting in a small electronic device such as a smart phone. That is, a magnetic material and a sensor for determining whether a cover is mounted may become a constraint in the design of an electronic device.
- an electronic device to which a cover for protecting the electronic device is coupleable includes a first surface facing a first direction; and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein an inner space between the first surface and the second surface is formed; a substrate disposed in the inner space; A geomagnetic sensor disposed on the substrate; and a processor; wherein the geomagnetic sensor is disposed such that a first cover having a first magnetic material of the cover covers the first surface of the electronic device in a first direction.
- the first magnetic force is recognized, and the first cover is arranged to cover the first surface in the first direction of the electronic device, the second cover having the second magnetic material of the cover covers the electronic device.
- the processor determines the magnetic north of the cover based on information on the magnetic force recognized by the geomagnetic sensor. It is possible to provide an electronic device that determines whether or not to be coupled to an electronic device.
- a control method of an electronic device including a display, a wireless authentication module, a geomagnetic sensor, and a processor, and to which a cover for protection is combinable, based on a magnetic force value measured by the geomagnetic sensor, the processor , When a first magnetic force greater than a specified value is detected in the first direction, it is determined that the first cover part of the cover is coupled to the electronic device, and a wireless authentication operation is performed, and after recognizing a genuine cover according to the wireless authentication operation, When a second magnetic force greater than a specified value is detected in two directions, a control method of an electronic device determines that a second cover part of the cover covers at least a portion of the display of the electronic device and performs an operation of inactivating at least a portion of the display.
- an electronic device may include: a first surface facing a first direction; and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein an inner space between the first surface and the second surface is formed; a substrate disposed in the inner space; a geomagnetic sensor disposed on the substrate; a cover for protecting the electronic device, including a first cover part covering the first surface of the electronic device and a second cover part covering the second surface of the electronic device; a first magnetic material disposed in a first position of the first cover part; and a second magnetic body disposed at a second position of the second cover unit, wherein the first magnetic body is located at the first position so that the first cover unit covers the first surface in a first direction of the electronic device.
- the second position of the second magnetic body is a state in which the first cover part covers the first surface in the first direction of the electronic device.
- an electronic device may include a housing; a substrate disposed in the inner space of the housing; A geomagnetic sensor disposed on the substrate; and a processor, wherein the geomagnetic sensor is disposed inside the housing or on a cover surrounding at least a part of the housing so as to be spaced apart from the geomagnetic sensor by a predetermined distance, and the position of the first magnetic material is variable. and from each of the second magnetic bodies, recognizing first magnetic force in a first direction or recognizing second magnetic force in a second direction, wherein the processor determines magnetic north based on information on the magnetic force recognized by the geomagnetic sensor. ) together with determining whether the cover is coupled to the electronic device or various motions of the electronic device can be provided.
- a cover is mounted on an electronic device without having a hall IC sensor, so that performance degradation of various electronic components included in the electronic device can be prevented.
- another sensor eg, geomagnetic sensor
- the separate magnetism measuring sensor eg, hall IC sensor
- controller means any device, system, or portion thereof that controls at least one operation, and such device may be implemented in hardware, firmware, or software, or a combination of at least two of these. Functions associated with a particular controller can be centralized or decentralized, either locally or remotely.
- various functions described below may be implemented or supported by one or more computer programs composed of computer readable program codes and embodied in a computer readable medium.
