The case 200 may provide a receiving cavity to receive components of the electronic device 20 such as a battery, a circuit board 800, and the like.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a first partial sectional view of the electronic device shown in fig. 1 along a direction P2-P2. The electronic device 20 may also include a display screen such as the display screen 100, and the display screen 100 may be mounted in the housing 200. Display screen 100 may be a touch screen display incorporating conductive capacitive touch sensor electrode layers or other touch sensor components (e.g., resistive touch sensor components, acoustic touch sensor components, force-based touch sensor components, light-based touch sensor components, etc.), or may be a non-touch sensitive display.

A display screen cover layer such as a transparent glass layer, light-transmissive plastic, sapphire, or other transparent dielectric layer may be used to protect the display screen 100. In some embodiments, the display screen 100 may be a flexible screen, i.e., the display screen 100 may be bendable and foldable.

The housing 200 may include a middle frame, such as middle frame 220, and a back cover, such as back cover 240. The middle frame 220 may serve as a carrier for the electronic device 20. For example, the bezel 220 may carry the display screen 100, the circuit board 800, a battery, etc. of the electronic device 20. The middle frame 220 may be made of metal, and may be formed by injection molding or machining.

The rear cover 240 may be disposed on one side of the middle frame 220, such as the rear cover 240 disposed on a non-display side of the middle frame 220. The rear cover 240 and the middle frame 220 are fixedly connected to form a receiving cavity 260 for receiving components of the electronic device 20, such as a battery, a circuit board 800, and the like, so that the rear cover 240 can be covered on the middle frame 220 to cover the battery, the circuit board 800, and the like. It is understood that the display screen 100 and the rear cover 240 are disposed at two opposite sides of the middle frame 220, and the display screen 100 may be disposed at a display surface of the middle frame 220 to display a picture.

The middle frame 220 may have a plurality of sides 222, and the plurality of sides 222 of the middle frame 222 are all located on the periphery of the base of the middle frame 220. The lengths of the sides 222 of the middle frame 220 may be the same or different. Such as the middle frame 220, may have a first side with a longer length and a second side with a shorter length, i.e., the first side may have a length greater than the second side. Devices of the electronic apparatus 20 such as the operation switch 400 may be disposed on one or more of the sides 222 of the middle frame 220, such as the operation switch 400 of the electronic apparatus 20 disposed on one of the longer sides 222 of the middle frame 220.

The operation switch 400 may be provided on the side 222 having a shorter length. It is understood that when the lengths of the sides 222 are the same, the operation switch 400 may be disposed on any one side 222 or any plurality of sides 222. It will also be appreciated that the operating switch 400 may be disposed at the connecting position of the two connecting sides 222, or at the corner position of the middle frame 220. It will also be appreciated that one of the sides 222 may be provided with one or more operating switches 400. In some embodiments, a control area 2222, or an operation area 2222, may be provided on one of the side edges 222. The operation switch 400 may be provided in the control section 2222 of the side 222 for the user to operate. Of course, it is also possible to arrange the operation switches 400 at all positions of the side 222, i.e., the control section 2222 is the entire side 222.

In some embodiments, a self-luminous material may be disposed at the control area 2222 to allow the user to identify the control area 2222. The color settings at the location of the control area 2222 may be different from the color settings at other locations of the side edge 222. A light emitting lamp may also be provided in the control section 2222.

In the related art, a plurality of physical keys, such as an on-off key, a volume key, a shortcut key, etc., are disposed on a side of the electronic device. The physical keys generally protrude out of the side edges, and gaps are formed between the physical keys and the side edges of the electronic equipment, so that water leakage and dust entering are easy to occur.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation switch 400 is disposed on the inner surface of the side edge 222, and the user can directly operate the control area 2222 to control the operation switch 400. The integrity of the side 222 is maintained and is waterproof and dustproof.

The side 222 may be provided with a first receiving groove 2224 for receiving the operation switch 400. The first receiving groove 2224 may communicate with the receiving cavity 260. The depth of the first receiving groove 2224 may be much greater than the thickness of the operating switch 400, that is, after the operating switch 400 is placed in the first receiving groove 2224, a hollow cavity is formed at a position where the first receiving groove 2224 is communicated with the receiving cavity 260, so that the control area 2222 at the position of the first receiving groove 2224 is deformed. Such as: the distance between the operation switch 400 and the housing chamber 260 is about 5 mm. The length of the first receiving groove 2224 is the distance of the first receiving groove 2224 along the length direction of the side 222, and the length of the first receiving groove 2224 can be determined according to actual requirements. The width of the first receiving groove 2224 is a distance along the width direction of the side 222, and the width of the first receiving groove 2224 may be between 1.6 mm and 2 mm.

The outer surface of the side 222 may be of various shapes, such as: arc, rectangular, rounded rectangular, etc. The outer surface of the side 222 may also be curved. At least one of the rear cover 240 and the display screen 100 may be arranged in an arc shape and cover at least a portion of the side edge 222.

The operation switch 400 is provided in the control section 2222 and on the inner surface of the side 222. The operation switch 400 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 800 of the electronic device 20. The circuit board 800 of the electronic device 20 may have integrated thereon a processor, a memory, etc., which may be used to process various operations of the electronic device 20. Such as: the processor may control the display of the display screen 100 in the electronic device 20, the processor may control the camera 600 in the electronic device 20 to take a picture, and the like. The operation switch 400 may detect a touch operation in the control area 2222, where the touch operation may be an operation of controlling the volume of the electronic device 20, the touch operation may be an operation of controlling the progress of playing a multimedia file, and the touch operation may be an operation of controlling the electronic device 20 to be turned on or off.

In the embodiment of the present application, the operation switch 400 is disposed on the inner surface of the side 222, and the side 222 is not provided with a hole structure for avoiding the operation switch 400, so that a user can drive the operation switch 400 through the side 222 at the position of the control area 2222 by a control signal to control the electronic device 20, such as controlling the volume of the electronic device 20, controlling and adjusting the playing progress of a multimedia file, controlling the on/off of the electronic device 20, controlling the working state of a camera in the electronic device 20, and the like.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first structural schematic diagram of an operation switch in the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 400 may include a pressure detection module 420, and the pressure detection module 420 may include a first flexible circuit board 422 and a pressure detector 424 electrically connected to the first flexible circuit board 422. The first flexible circuit board 422 may be disposed on an inner surface of the side 222, such as by being adhered to the inner surface of the side 222 with glue, double-sided tape, or the like. The width of the first receiving groove 2224 may be about 1.6 mm or about 2 mm.

The pressure detector 424 may include a resistive sensor or a capacitive sensor, among others. It should be noted that when the pressure detector 424 includes a capacitive sensor, no metal is disposed at the position of the pressure detector 424 to ensure the accuracy of the detection of the capacitive sensor. The resistive sensor may be a MEMS (micro electro Mechanical Systems) sensor, which requires the width of the first receiving groove 2224 to be 1.6 mm. The resistive sensor is not limited to the MEMS piezoresistive IC, and the resistive sensor may be a strain gauge, and the strain gauge needs to have a width of the first receiving groove 2224 of about 2 mm.

It is understood that the side 222 is thin and can be deformed by the pressing force, and the first flexible circuit board 422 and the pressure detector 424 are disposed together on the inner surface of the side 222. When the side 222 is pressed, the side 222 deforms and drives the first flexible circuit board 422 and the pressure detector 424 to deform together, and the pressure is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the processor of the circuit board 800, and the processor can control the electronic device 20 according to the pressing operation. The pressing operation may include one press, a press of many presses, a long press, a heavy press, a light press, and the like. The long press is that the press duration exceeds the preset duration. The pressing force degree is larger than the first preset force degree. The pressing force degree is smaller than the second preset force degree by slight pressing. The pressing down may be a pressing operation detected a plurality of times within a preset time. Wherein, the first preset force and the second preset force can be the same or different.

In some embodiments, the pressing operation may be determined as one of touch operations, that is, the playing progress of the multimedia file may be adjusted when the pressing operation is detected in the control area 2222 by the operation switch 400. Therefore, the user can adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file without touching the display screen 100, which not only saves the power consumption of the touch display screen 100, but also facilitates the user operation. Especially facilitating one-handed operation for some users. It should be noted that the operation of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file is not limited to the pressing operation, and may be other operations.

It should be noted that, in the actual assembly process, since the first flexible circuit board 422 is made of a soft material, deformation is easily generated, and in order to reduce the deformation of the first flexible circuit board 422 in the assembly process, the thickness of the first flexible circuit board 422 may be increased. Of course, a reinforcing plate may be fixedly connected to the first flexible circuit board 422.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second structure of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 420 may further include a reinforcing sheet 426, the reinforcing sheet 426 is fixedly connected to the first flexible circuit board 422, and the reinforcing sheet 426 and the pressure detector 424 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first flexible circuit board 422. The reinforcing sheet 426 is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the side 222 at the location of the control area 2222. The reinforcing plate 426 may increase the overall strength of the pressure detecting module 420 for assembly, thereby preventing deformation during assembly and difficulty in assembly. It should be noted that the pressure detector 424 and the reinforcing sheet 426 may not be provided on both sides of the first flexible circuit board 422.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a third structure of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The reinforcing sheet 426 and the pressure detector 424 may be disposed on the same side of the first flexible circuit board 422, the pressure detector 424 may be disposed within a gap 428 of the reinforcing sheet 426, and the space of the gap 428 is larger than the size of the pressure detector 424. Such as the thickness of the reinforcing sheet 426 is greater than the thickness of the pressure detector 424, the reinforcing sheet 426 and the pressure detector 424 do not touch. Therefore, the pressure detector 424 is ensured not to contact with the reinforcing sheet 426 or the side edge 222 when being deformed by the pressure, so that the accuracy of the pressure detector 424 for detecting the pressing force is affected.

It will be appreciated that in order for the pressure detector 424 to be able to effectively detect pressure, a void 428 may be provided in the reinforcing sheet 426, with the pressure detector 424 being spatially located within the void 428. Therefore, when the side 222 of the control area 2222 receives the acting force, the stress of the acting force is applied to the pressure detector 424 at the position of the gap 428 due to the arrangement of the reinforcing sheet 426, so that the signal detected by the pressure detection module 420 can be more accurate. In some embodiments, two reinforcing sheets 426 may be connected to the first flexible circuit board 422 to form the gap 428, or a gap 428 may be opened on one reinforcing sheet 426.

It should be noted that the accuracy of the signal detected by the pressure detecting module 420 can be improved without providing the reinforcing sheet 426, such as providing a groove on the side 222 of the control area 2222 to locate the pressure detector 424 in the groove, so that the thickness of the two sides of the groove is larger, and thus the thickness of the position of the pressure detector 424 is smaller, and the deformation is also easy to occur.

It should be noted that the pressure detection module 420 may also detect other operations, such as a sliding operation. The pressure detection module 420 may determine that it is continuously moving based on the pressure it detects.

The pressure detection module 420 can also adjust the playing speed of the multimedia file according to the touch operation. For example, the pressure detection module 420 detects that the pressure gradually increases and determines the pressure as the first touch operation for transmission to the processor of the circuit board 800, and the processor can adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the first touch operation. Of course, the operation of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file may also be other operations, such as a sliding operation, and the like.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a fourth structural diagram of the operation switch of the electronic device shown in fig. 2. The operation switch 400 may further include an ultrasonic detection module 440, and the ultrasonic detection module 440 may include a second flexible circuit board 442, a signal transmitting part 444, and a signal receiving part 446. The signal transmitting portion 444 and the signal receiving portion 446 are electrically connected to the second flexible circuit board 442. The signal transmitting portion 444 and the signal receiving portion 446 may be made of a piezoelectric ceramic material. The second flexible circuit board 442 may be disposed on an inner surface of the side 222 of the control area 2222, such as by being adhered to the inner surface of the side 222 with glue, double-sided tape, or the like. The ultrasonic detection module 440 may receive different signals, such as different operation modes, and may determine the control signal according to the operation mode to control the functions of the electronic device 20 according to the control signal.

The signal transmitting part 444 and the signal receiving part 446 can be formed by arranging piezoelectric ceramics distributed at intervals, the piezoelectric ceramics are made of materials capable of converting electric energy and mechanical energy into each other, the piezoelectric ceramics can be driven by the electric energy to transmit ultrasonic waves, the ultrasonic waves are reflected after contacting with fingers of a person, the reflected ultrasonic waves return to the piezoelectric ceramics to be converted into the electric energy, and the contact and the position of the fingers can be positioned according to the reflected ultrasonic waves. And since the piezoelectric ceramics are separated, other elements can be filled between the piezoelectric ceramics. For example, a light emitting device may be filled between the piezoelectric ceramics.

The ultrasonic detection module 440 can detect the pressed position of the control area 2222 to achieve positioning. Or the ultrasonic detection module 440 can detect a specific position for the finger to be placed in the control area 2222, so as to realize the positioning. When the pressing force continuously moves or the user's finger slides in the control area, the ultrasonic detection module 440 may detect the sliding operation to determine the sliding operation as a first sliding operation, and may convert the first sliding operation into an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal to the processor of the circuit board 800, where the processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file. It should be noted that the ultrasonic detection module 440 may also adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file according to other detected operations.

It is understood that other operations, such as a tap, may also be detected by the ultrasonic detection module 440. The ultrasonic detection module 440 may also control other functions of the electronic device 20 according to other operations or different sliding operations.

Wherein the sliding direction of the sliding operation is along the length of the side 222.

It is understood that a signal transmitting portion 444 and a signal receiving portion 446 may be disposed at an interval on the ultrasonic detection module 440. A plurality of signal transmitting sections 444 and a plurality of signal receiving sections 446 may be provided at intervals.

The operation switch 400 is not limited to the ultrasonic detection module 440 and the pressure detection module 420. In some embodiments, the operation switch 400 may include a pressure detection module and an ultrasonic detection module. Such as disposing the pressure detector, the ultrasonic-wave signal transmitting section, and the ultrasonic-wave signal receiving section on the same flexible circuit board. For example: a pressure detector is disposed between a signal transmitting portion and a signal receiving portion. Of course, if the pressure detector is plural, each pressure detector is disposed between one signal transmitting portion and one signal receiving portion. The operation switch 400 includes both a pressure detector by which a degree of pressing can be effectively detected and an ultrasonic detector by which a pressed position can be effectively detected. Thereby, not only the functions of the electronic device 20 such as adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file can be accurately controlled according to the received signal. Meanwhile, the function of preventing mistaken touch can be realized according to the pressing intensity and the pressing position.

It should also be noted that the electronic device 20 may also be provided with one or more ultrasonic detectors and one or more pressure detectors in different control areas 2222.

It is to be understood that when the operation switch 400 includes the ultrasonic detector and the pressure detector, the arrangement thereof is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a second partial sectional view of the electronic device shown in fig. 1 along the direction P2-P2. The operation switch 400 of the electronic device may include a pressure detection module 480 and a position detection module 460. The pressure detecting module 480 and the position detecting module 460 may be disposed in the first receiving groove 2224 formed on the inner surface of the side 222.

The side 222 may have a bottom wall 22242 and a side wall 22244 on the inner surface, the side wall 22244 may be disposed around the bottom wall 22242, and the side wall 22244 may form the first receiving groove 2224 around the bottom wall 22242. The pressure detecting module 480 may be disposed on the sidewall 22244, and the pressure detecting module 480 may detect the pressing force of the side 222. The pressure detection module 480 may include a pressure detector 482 and a first flexible circuit board 484, and the pressure detector 482 may be disposed on the first flexible circuit board 484. The pressure detector 482 may comprise a piezoresistive or voltage sensor. The pressure detecting module 480 can determine the degree of pressing force of the pressing operation by detecting the deformation of the side 222. It should be noted that the pressure detection module 480 can also refer to the pressure detection module 420, and is not described herein again.

It is understood that the first receiving groove 2224 may have a depth of about 5 mm, such as 4.5 mm to 5.5 mm, which is sufficient to receive the pressure detection module 480 on the side wall 22244.

The position detection module 460 may be disposed on the bottom wall 22242, and the position detection module 460 may detect the pressing position of the side edge 222, or the position detection module 460 may detect the pressed position of the side edge. The processor of the electronic device can determine the detection result according to the pressing force degree and the pressing position, or control the operation of the electronic device, and the processor can control the related functions of the electronic device according to the detection result. Such as the detection result may include a pressing operation, a sliding operation, and the like. The position detection module 460 may include a position detector 462 and a second flexible circuit board 464, and the position detector 462 may be disposed on the second flexible circuit board 464. The position detector 462 may include an ultrasonic sensor that can determine the location of the compression based on the ultrasonic signal it transmits and the ultrasonic signal that is fed back. The position detection module 460 can refer to the ultrasonic detection module 440, and is not described herein.

It should be noted that the structure of the ultrasonic sensor may occupy a smaller space than the piezoresistive sensor, such as a space of 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm. Therefore, the width of the first receiving groove 2224 can be set to 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm, so that the side edge 222 can be set narrower, and a narrow bezel design can be more easily implemented.

The position detection module 460 and the pressure detection module 480 are both disposed in the first receiving groove 2224, and the first flexible circuit board 484 and the second flexible circuit board 464 can be connected together, so that the overlapping of a plurality of flexible circuit boards and an additional temporary space can be reduced. Of course, the first flexible circuit board 484 and the second flexible circuit board 464 may be integrally provided, and different traces may be arranged on an integrated structure for the pressure detector 462 and the position detector 482 to work.

First surface 2223 may be arcuate in shape, or may have other shapes. The second surface 2221 may be curved, or may have other shapes. Third surface 2225 may be arcuate in shape, or may have other shapes. In some embodiments, the minimum distance between first surface 2223 and third surface 2225 is 1.6 millimeters to 1.8 millimeters. When the width of the first receiving groove 2224 formed in the side edge 222 is about 1 mm, the side walls on the two sides of the first receiving groove 2224 still have sufficient strength to ensure the overall stability of the side edge 222.

Note that a part of a rear cover of the electronic apparatus may be provided on the third surface 2225, and an edge of the rear cover may abut against the second surface 2221. A portion of a display screen of the electronic device may be disposed on the first surface 2223, and an edge of the display screen may abut the second surface 2221.

Among them, the second surface 2221 may have a first sub-surface 22211, a second sub-surface 22212, and a third sub-surface 22213 connected in this order. The first sub-surface 222111 may be curved, the second sub-surface 22212 may be curved, and the third sub-surface 22213 may be in a bent configuration. The connection of first sub-surface 22211 and first surface 2223 may form a first recess 2227, and first recess 2227 may receive an edge of the display screen. I.e., the edge of the display screen, may be disposed within the first recess 2227. It should be noted that the first sub-surface 22211 may be provided with a wave-shaped structure, such as two recesses, one for placing the edge of the display screen, and the other for placing the edge of the cover plate covering the display screen. The connection of third sub-surface 22213 and third surface 2225 may form a second recess 2228, and second recess 2228 may receive an edge of the rear cover. In some embodiments, the distance between the first sub-surface 22211 and the third sub-surface 22213 gradually increases from the inner surface of the side 222 toward the outer surface of the side 222, to the second sub-surface 22212.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a third partial sectional view of the electronic device shown in fig. 1 along the direction P2-P2. The electronic device 20 may further include a touch detection module 300, and the touch detection module 300 may be disposed between the side 222 and the rear cover 240. The side 222 may further include a detection area 2226, the detection area 2226 may be disposed adjacent to the control area 2222, the control area 2222 may be a middle position of the side 222, and the detection area 2226 may be located outside the middle position. Such as detection zone 2226, is located on a side adjacent to rear cover 240. The touch detection module 300 may be adjacent to the rear cover 240, or may be disposed between the rear cover 240 and the side 222, so as to be covered by the rear cover 240 for protection. The operation switch 400 may be located between the touch detection module 300 and the display screen 100.

The touch detection module 300 may be a capacitive detector, and the rear cover 240 may be made of glass. The capacitance detector is an electrode plate with a certain shape, under the condition that no finger touches the surface of the sensor, a certain capacitance (self-capacitance) is formed between the electrode plate and the surrounding electrodes, when the finger touches the surface of the sensor, the conductive property and the large mass of a human body form a grounded conductive layer, so that electric field lines are formed, and the capacitance between the capacitance detector and the ground is changed. By detecting this change in capacitance, it is possible to know whether there is a finger press. Thereby, the function of preventing the erroneous touch is realized through the touch detection module 300. It should be noted that the capacitive detector can refer to the touch function of the display screen.

The processor on the circuit board 800 of the electronic device 20 can control the electronic device 20 according to the detection result of the touch detection module 300 and the detection result of the pressure detection module 420. Of course, the processor may control the electronic device 20 only according to the detection result of the pressure detection module 420, or may control the electronic device 20 according to the detection result of the touch detection module 300. The detection result of the touch detection module 300 may include a sliding operation, and the processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the sliding operation.

It should be noted that, when the touch detection module 300 is adjacent to the rear cover 240, the touch detection module 300 may be covered on the capacitance detector through a touch cover plate, the touch cover plate may be connected with the rear cover 240 in a matching manner, and the touch cover plate may protect the capacitance detector. When the detection area 2226 of the side 222 has an arc-shaped structure, the capacitive detector may be disposed on a third flexible circuit board, and the third flexible circuit board may be disposed on the side 222 at the position of the detection area 2226 of the arc-shaped structure. The corresponding touch cover or the back cover 240 may be disposed in an arc shape corresponding to the touch detection module 300 and corresponding to the arc structure of the side 222. The touch detection module 300 may be directly disposed on the outer surface of the side 222, or a second receiving groove may be formed on the side 222 for receiving the touch detection module 300.

Wherein the side edges such as the side edges 222, the pressure detection module such as the pressure detection module 420, and the touch detection module such as the touch detection module 300 may form a housing assembly. In the housing assembly, the pressure detection module 420 is disposed in the control area 2222 of the side 222, and the touch detection module 300 is disposed in the detection area 2226 of the side 222. The pressure detection module 420 can detect whether the control area 2222 has a pressing operation, and the touch detection module 300 can determine whether the detection area 2226 has a touch operation. The touch operation may include a sliding operation, and the like. It should be noted that the housing assembly can be applied to the electronic device 20. The housing assembly may also include an ultrasonic detection module such as ultrasonic detection module 440. The operation position of the control area 2222 of the side 222 can be detected by the ultrasonic detection module 440.

It will be appreciated that due to the limited width of the side 222, a user's finger pressing on the control area 2222 of the side 222 will tend to press a portion of the finger against the rear cover 240 and possibly the display screen 100. In the embodiment of the application, the detection area is set at the position of one side of the control area 2222 and the position of one side of the rear cover 240, so as to install the touch detection module 300, and the touch detection module can be used to determine whether a user presses a finger, thereby realizing the anti-false touch operation of the switch 400.

It should be noted that the user often touches the touch operation switch 400 to make the display screen 100 in a bright state, and can also detect whether the display screen 100 has a touch operation according to the display screen 100, and if the display screen 100 has a touch operation, the function of preventing a false touch can be further improved, so as to achieve more accurate control over the operation switch 400.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The electronic device 20 shown in fig. 10 is different from the electronic device 20 shown in fig. 1 only in that the electronic device shown in fig. 10 further includes: a light emitting device 500.

The light emitting device 500 may be disposed on one or more sides 222 of the middle frame 220, such as disposing the light emitting device 500 of the electronic device 20 on one of the longer sides 222 of the middle frame 220. The length of the light emitting device 500 along the length direction of the side 222 may be the same as the length of the display screen 100.

It should be noted that the light emitting device 500 may be disposed on the side 222 having a shorter length. It is understood that the light emitting device 500 may be disposed on any one side 222 or any plurality of sides 222 when the lengths of the sides 222 are the same. It is also understood that the light emitting device 500 may be disposed at the connecting position of the two connecting sides 222, or at the corner position of the middle frame 220.

It is understood that the side 222 where the light emitting device 500 is disposed may be made of a transparent material, so that the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 emits light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222.

The light emitting device 500 is disposed on the inner surface of the side edge 222. Wherein, the light emitting device 500 may be disposed on two opposite sides 222 with the operation switch 400. The light emitting device 500 may also be disposed on the same side 222 as the operation switch 400. The light emitting device 500 may share a flexible circuit board with the operation switch 400, or a flexible circuit board may be provided separately for the light emitting device 500.

The light emitting device 500 may be electrically connected to a processor, and the processor may control the function of the electronic device when the operation switch 400 detects the touch operation of the side 222, and control the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222. Wherein the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is used to alert the function of the electronic device 20. The functions of the electronic device may include adjusting a playing progress of the multimedia file, adjusting a volume, adjusting a display brightness of a display screen, photographing or focusing, and the like. The multimedia files may include video files or audio files, etc.

The touch operation may include a first touch operation, and the processor may adjust a playing progress of the multimedia file when the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation of the side 222, and control a display length of light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file, so as to remind that the played progress of the multimedia file corresponds to the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

When the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation of the side 222, before adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor may first obtain the playing progress (the first progress), that is, the playing time of the multimedia file, and control the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222 according to the first progress, so that the ratio of the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 to the total length of the light emitting device 500 is the same as the ratio of the first progress to the total progress of the multimedia file. If the total progress of the multimedia file is expressed in terms of length, and it is assumed that the total length corresponding to the total progress of the multimedia file is the same as the total length of the light emitting device 500, the length corresponding to the first progress is the same as the display length (first length) of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222. When the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, that is, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is controlled to advance or retreat, the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the side length direction can be controlled to increase or decrease along with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, when the progress of playing the multimedia file is controlled to progress from the first progress to the second progress, the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 may be controlled to increase from the first length to the second length. Namely, the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file is dynamically embodied through the process of increasing or decreasing the display length of the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222, and the playing progress of the multimedia file is reminded through the display length of the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

It can be understood that the ratio of the played progress to the total played progress of the multimedia file is the same as the ratio of the display length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 to the total length of the light emitting device 500. For example, if the ratio of the played progress to the total played progress of the multimedia file is 1:4, the ratio of the display length to the total length of the light emitting device 500 is 1: 4. That is, the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4 of the total length of the light emitting device 500, so that the progress of the playing of the multimedia file can be reminded by the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222, and the progress of the playing of the multimedia file can be reminded by the progress of the increase or decrease of the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

The electronic device 20 may further include a light shielding member for shielding the light emitting device 500, and a driving mechanism electrically connected to the processor. The processor is further configured to control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move along the length direction of the side 222, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file.

Before the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, the light shielding member may completely cover the light emitting device 500 to shield the light emitting device 500. When the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, before the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, the processor may control the light emitting device 500 to emit light, and control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move rightward for a distance rapidly to expose a portion of the light emitting device 500, so that light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is emitted through the side 222 toward the outside of the electronic device 20, and the display length L1 of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side reminds the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, if the display length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the side length direction is 1/2 of the total length of the light emitting device 500, it indicates that the progress of the playing of the multimedia file is 1/2 of the total progress, that is, it indicates that the multimedia file has been 1/2.

When the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, assuming that the first touch operation is a sliding operation of the user's finger along the positive direction of the side length, the processor may control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move rightward according to the sliding process of the user's finger, so as to continuously expose a part of the light emitting device 500, so that the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, and the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file is dynamically embodied through the growth process of the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the side length direction. For example, if the display length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the side length direction is increased from L1 to L2, it indicates that the playing progress of the multimedia file advances from the first progress to the second progress.

The light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting lamps disposed at intervals at the side 222. The processor is further configured to control the corresponding number of light-emitting lamps to emit light according to the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file.

When the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, before the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, the processor may control the corresponding number of light-emitting lamps to emit light, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, it is assumed that the light emitting device 500 includes 20 light emitting lamps. If the playing rate of the multimedia file is 1/4 of the total rate, the processor may control the 5 light-emitting lamps to emit light, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4 of the total length of the light-emitting device 500, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing rate of the multimedia file. The processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file and control the number of light emitted by the light emitting lamps to increase or decrease correspondingly with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 always corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, if the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted from 1/4 of the total progress to 1/2 of the total progress, the processor may control the number of the light-emitting lamps to be lighted from 5 to 10. Meanwhile, in the process of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor can control the light-emitting lamps to be sequentially lightened along with the process of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file so as to dynamically embody the process of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file.

The touch operation may include a second touch operation. The processor is further configured to adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file when the operation switch 400 detects the second touch operation of the side 222, and control the light-emitting position of the light-emitting device 500 to correspond to the current playing progress of the multimedia file.

For example, assuming that the total playing time of the multimedia file is 10 minutes, when the multimedia file is played to 10 minutes, that is, 1/2 indicating that the playing progress is the total progress, the processor may control the central position of the light emitting device 500 to emit light to remind that the multimedia file has been played to 10 minutes.

The light shielding member may include a light-transmitting portion corresponding to a current playing progress of the multimedia file, so that light emitted from the light emitting device 500 is emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the light-transmitting portion to remind the multimedia file of having been currently played to the light-transmitting portion.

For example, assume that the total playing time of the multimedia file is 10 minutes, and the multimedia file is currently played to the 5 th minute. Then, the processor may control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move in the length direction of the side edge 222, so that the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 is emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the light-transmitting portion, so as to remind the multimedia file that the multimedia file has been played to the light-transmitting portion.

The processor is further configured to control the light-emitting lamp at the corresponding position to emit light according to the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the display position of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the current playing progress of the multimedia file.

For example, assuming that the total playing time of the multimedia file is 10 minutes, and the current playing time is up to 5 minutes, the light emitting device includes 10 light emitting lamps. Then, the processor may control the 5 th light-emitting lamp to emit light so that the display position of the light emitted from the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the current playing progress of the multimedia file.

The processor is further configured to control at least one of the color displayed through the side 222, the brightness displayed through the side 222, and the flashing through the side 222 of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 to alert the electronic device.

For example, when the operation switch 400 detects a touch operation for adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file and control the color or brightness of the light emitted by the light emitting device to be displayed through the side edge to change along with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, when the multimedia file is adjusted from a first playing progress to a second playing progress, the processor may control the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 to be displayed through the side 222 to change the color from a first color to a second color or to change the brightness from a first brightness to a second brightness.

For example, when the playing rate of the multimedia file is adjusted from a first playing rate to a second playing rate, the processor may control the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 to pass through the first position of the side 222 and blink to pass through the second position of the side 222. Wherein the first position and the second position are two different positions on the side 222.

The electronic equipment provided by the embodiment of the application can remind the playing progress of the multimedia file through the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device in the length direction of the side edge, and can also remind the current playing progress of the multimedia file through controlling the light-emitting position of the light-emitting device, so that the playing progress of the multimedia file can not be displayed on the playing interface corresponding to the multimedia file.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control method of the light emitting device is applied to an electronic device such as the electronic device 20, and the electronic device 20 can refer to the above contents, which are not described herein again. The control method of the light emitting device may include:

101. the touch operation of the side 222 is detected by operating the switch 400.

The touch operation may include at least one of a pressing operation and a sliding operation. The pressing operation may include a long press, a heavy press, or a press-down, etc. The sliding operation may include a sliding operation in a positive direction along the length of the side edge or a sliding operation in a negative direction along the length of the side edge, and so on.

102. When the operation switch 400 detects a touch operation of the side 222, the function of the electronic device 20 is controlled, and the light-emitting device 500 is controlled to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, where the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 is used to remind the function of the electronic device 20.

After the operation switch 400 of the electronic device 20 detects the touch operation, the touch operation may be transmitted to the processor of the electronic device 20. The processor of the electronic device 20 may also obtain the touch operation directly from the operation switch 400. Thereby controlling the function of the electronic device 20 when the operation switch 400 detects the touch operation of the side 222, and controlling the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222. Wherein the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is used to alert the function of the electronic device 20. For example, the playing progress of the multimedia file, the volume, the photographing or focusing, etc. may be adjusted when the touch operation of the side 222 is detected by the operation switch 400. The multimedia files may include video files, audio files, and the like.

The touch operations may include a first touch operation, which controls the function of the electronic device 20 when the operation switch 400 detects the touch operation of the side 222 and controls the light-emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, including:

when the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation of the side 222, the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, and the light-emitting device 500 is controlled to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222 according to the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file, and the played progress of the multimedia file is reminded to correspond to the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, in the related art, when the processor receives an operation that is triggered by a user on the display screen and controls the current playing progress of the video file to advance from the first playing progress to the second playing progress, the processor first controls the display screen to display the playing progress bar at the first playing progress. Then, in the process of controlling the current playing progress of the video file to advance from the first playing progress to the second playing progress, the processor controls the playing progress bar to move rightwards until the playing progress bar is at the second playing progress. And when the processor does not receive the operation of adjusting the current playing progress of the video file, which is triggered again by the user, after a preset time, the processor hides the playing progress bar. That is, in the process of adjusting the playing progress of the video file and within a preset time after the adjustment, the processor controls the playing progress bar to be displayed on the display screen. As can be seen from fig. 12 and 13, the display position of the play progress bar is generally the position where the subtitles are displayed on the display screen, and therefore, the display of the play progress bar affects the display of the subtitles. For example, the width of the playing progress bar may be relatively wide, so that most of the subtitles are covered by the playing progress bar, and the user cannot see the subtitles clearly, resulting in poor viewing experience of the user.

The following description will be made in detail by taking an example in which the light emitting device 500 is disposed on one longer side 222 of the middle frame 220 and the total length of the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is the same as the length of the display screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, the light-emitting device 500 emits light to remind the playing progress of the multimedia file, and the playing progress bar may not be displayed on the display screen 100 to remind the playing progress of the multimedia file, so as to improve the viewing experience of the user.

For example, assume that the total playing time of the multimedia file is 20 minutes, and the total length of the light emitting device is 1L. When the multimedia file is played for 5 minutes, that is, the played time is 1/4 (the playing progress is 1/4) which is the total playing time, if the operation switch 400 detects a touch operation for displaying the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor may control the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4 of the total length, that is, the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4L. When the multimedia file is played for 10 minutes, that is, the played time is 1/2 (the playing progress is 1/2) of the total playing time, if the operation switch 400 detects a touch operation for displaying the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor may control the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/2 of the total length, that is, the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/2L, and thus the playing progress of the multimedia file may be reminded by the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

When the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation of the side 222, before adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor may first obtain the playing progress (the first progress), that is, the playing time of the multimedia file, and control the light emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222 according to the first progress, so that the ratio of the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 to the total length of the light emitting device 500 is the same as the ratio of the first progress to the total progress of the multimedia file.

As shown in fig. 14, if the total progress of the multimedia file is expressed in a form of a length, and it is assumed that the total length corresponding to the total progress of the multimedia file is the same as the total length of the light emitting device 500, the length corresponding to the first progress is the same as the display length (first length) of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

Referring to fig. 15, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, that is, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is controlled to advance or retreat, the display length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 may be controlled to increase or decrease along with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, when the processor controls the progress of the playing of the multimedia file to progress from the first progress to the second progress, the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 may be controlled to increase from the first length to the second length. Namely, the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file is dynamically embodied through the process of increasing or decreasing the display length of the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222, and the playing progress of the multimedia file is reminded through the display length of the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

It can be understood that the ratio of the played progress to the total played progress of the multimedia file is the same as the ratio of the display length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 to the total length of the light emitting device 500. For example, if the ratio of the played progress to the total played progress of the multimedia file is 1:4, the ratio of the display length to the total length of the light emitting device 500 is 1: 4. That is, the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4 of the total length of the light emitting device 500, so that the progress of the playing of the multimedia file can be reminded by the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222, and the progress of the playing of the multimedia file can be reminded by the process of increasing or decreasing the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222.

The electronic device 20 may also include a light shield and a drive mechanism. The light blocking member is used to block the light emitting device 500, and for example, the light blocking member may cover the light emitting device 500. The light shielding member may be made of an opaque material, so that when the light emitting device 500 emits light, the light emitted from the portion of the light emitting device 500 shielded by the light shielding member cannot transmit through the light shielding member to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20.

Referring to fig. 16, as shown in a1, before the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, the light shielding member may completely cover the light emitting device 500 to shield the light emitting device 500. As shown in a2, when the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, the processor may acquire the progress of the playing of the multimedia file before adjusting the progress of the playing of the multimedia file, and control the light emitting device 500 to emit light. And controls the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move rightwards rapidly to expose a portion of the light emitting device 500, so that the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is emitted through the side 222 towards the outside of the electronic device 20, and the display length L1 of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side reminds the progress of playing the multimedia file. For example, if the length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 displayed in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/2 of the total length of the light emitting device 500, it indicates that the progress of the playing of the multimedia file is 1/2 of the total progress, i.e., it indicates that the multimedia file has been 1/2. For example, assuming that the total time length of the multimedia file is 10 minutes, the length of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 displayed along the length direction of the side 222 is 1/2 of the total length of the light emitting device 500, which may indicate that the multimedia file has been played for 5 minutes.

When the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, assuming that the first touch operation is a sliding operation of the user's finger along the positive direction of the length of the side edge, the processor may control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move rightward according to the sliding process of the user's finger, so as to continuously expose a part of the light emitting device 500, so that the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side edge 222, and the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file is dynamically embodied through the growth process of the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side edge 222. As shown in a2 and a3, if L1 increases to L2, it means that the progress of playing the multimedia file advances from the first progress to the second progress.

The light emitting device 500 may include a plurality of light emitting lamps, and the plurality of light emitting lamps may be disposed at intervals at the side 222.

When the operation switch 400 detects the first touch operation, before the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, the processor may first obtain the playing progress of the multimedia file, and control the light-emitting lamps with the corresponding number to emit light, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, it is assumed that the light emitting device 500 includes 20 light emitting lamps. If the playing rate of the multimedia file is 1/4 of the total playing rate, the processor may control the 5 light-emitting lamps to emit light, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 is 1/4 of the total length of the light-emitting device 500, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 corresponds to the playing rate of the multimedia file. The processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file and control the number of light emitted by the light emitting lamps to increase or decrease correspondingly with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the display length of the light emitted by the light emitting device 500 in the length direction of the side 222 always corresponds to the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, if the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted from 1/4 of the total progress to 1/2 of the total progress, the processor may control the number of the light-emitting lamps to be lighted from 5 to 10. Meanwhile, in the process of adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file, the processor can control the light-emitting lamps to be sequentially lightened along with the adjusting process of the multimedia file so as to dynamically embody the adjusting process of the playing progress of the multimedia file.

The touch operations include a second touch operation, which controls the function of the electronic device 20 when the operation switch 400 detects the touch operation of the side 222 and controls the light-emitting device 500 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, including:

when the operation switch 400 detects the second touch operation of the side 222, the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted, and the light-emitting device 500 is controlled to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side according to the playing progress of the multimedia file, so that the light-emitting position of the light-emitting device 500 corresponds to the current playing progress of the multimedia file, and the multimedia file is reminded of being played to the light-emitting position of the light-emitting device 500.

For example, assuming that the total playing time of the multimedia file is 10 minutes, when the multimedia file is played to 10 minutes, that is, the multimedia file is currently played to 1/2 of the total progress, that is, the current playing progress is 1/2 of the total progress, the processor may control the central position of the light emitting device 500 to emit light to remind that the multimedia file has been played to 10 minutes.

The light shielding member may further include a light-transmitting portion, which may correspond to a current playing progress of the multimedia file, so that light emitted by the light emitting device 500 is emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the light-transmitting portion to remind the multimedia file of having been currently played to the light-transmitting portion.

As shown in fig. 17, assuming that the multimedia file is currently played to 1/2 of the total progress, the processor may control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member so that the light-transmitting portion of the light shielding member moves to the position m1, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 500 may be emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the light-transmitting portion at the position m 1. As shown in fig. 18, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted to 3/4 of the total progress, that is, the multimedia file is currently played to 3/4 of the total progress, the processor may control the driving mechanism to drive the light shielding member to move the light-transmitting portion of the light shielding member to the position m2, so that the light emitted from the light-emitting device 500 may be emitted toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the light-transmitting portion at the position m 2.

As shown in fig. 19, if the multimedia file is currently played to 1/2 of the total progress, the processor may control the light-emitting lamp located at the position m1 to emit light toward the outside of the electronic device 20 through the side 222, so as to remind that the multimedia file is currently played to the position m 1. That is, the multimedia file is reminded to be currently played to 1/2 of the total progress by reminding the multimedia file to be currently played to position m 1. As shown in fig. 20, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted to 3/4 of the total progress, that is, the multimedia file is currently played to 3/4 of the total progress, the processor may control the light-emitting lamp at position m2 to emit light, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting lamp is emitted through the side 222 toward the outside of the electronic device 20 to remind that the multimedia file is currently played to position m 2. That is, the multimedia file is reminded to be currently played to 3/4 of the total progress by reminding the multimedia file to be currently played to position m 2.

The processor may also control at least one of a color of the light emitted by the light emitting device displayed through the side edge, a brightness of the light displayed through the side edge, and a flashing through the side edge to alert the electronic device.

For example, when the operation switch 400 detects a first touch operation, the processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file, and control the color of the light emitted by the light emitting device through the side display to change along with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted from a first playing progress to a second playing progress, the processor may control the color displayed by the light-emitting device 500 through the side 222 to change from a first color to a second color.

For example, when the operation switch 400 detects a first touch operation, the processor may adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file, and control the brightness of the light emitted by the light emitting device through the side display to change along with the adjustment process of the playing progress of the multimedia file. For example, when the playing progress of the multimedia file is adjusted from a first playing progress to a second playing progress, the processor may control the brightness of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 through the side 222 to be displayed to be changed from a first brightness to a second brightness.
