Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic electrical connection schematic diagram of an electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present application.
The electronic device of the first embodiment of the present application may further include a processor 15 and a memory 16.
The processor 15 is electrically connected with the functional component 12, the memory 16, the curved screen 10 and the first light sensor 14.
The processor 15 is provided on the apparatus body 11 or inside the apparatus body 11, and the processor 15 may be provided on the inner wall of the curved screen 10.
The processor 15 is electrically connected to the second light sensor 121 in the functional assembly 12.
The processor 15 is configured to control the first light sensor 14 to detect the brightness of the position where the first light sensor 14 is located, the processor 15 executes a first operation instruction when the brightness detected by the first light sensor 14 is greater than or equal to a preset brightness value, and the processor 15 executes a second operation instruction when the brightness detected by the brightness sensor 14 is less than the preset brightness value.
For example, in an application scenario, the external interface 111 is a USB interface, the first operation instruction is an operation instruction for turning on charging or data transmission related software, and the second operation instruction is an operation instruction for turning off charging or data transmission related software. When the external interface 111 is an earphone jack, the first operation instruction may be an operation instruction for turning on music playing software, and the second operation instruction may be an operation instruction for turning off the music playing software.
The following description is made in conjunction with an application scenario.
For example, when the electronic device is currently in the second state, that is, the USB interface is hidden in the curved panel, the USB interface is hidden by the curved panel, and at this time, the first light sensor 14 is also hidden in the curved panel, the first light sensor 14 is also hidden by the curved panel, and the brightness detected by the first light sensor 14 is less than the preset brightness value, it indicates that the electronic device is currently in the second state, that is, the USB interface is hidden in the curved panel, and the processor 15 controls to execute the operation instruction of closing the charging or the data transmission related software.
When the user draws the device body 11 out of the curved screen 10 to the first state of the electronic device, the brightness sensor 14 is exposed, the brightness detected by the brightness sensor 14 is greater than or equal to the preset brightness value, and the processor 15 determines that the electronic device is in the first state, the processor 15 controls to execute an operation instruction for turning on charging or data transmission related software, and then the user inserts the USB plug into the USB interface to start charging or data transmission.
In another embodiment, the first light sensor 14 in combination with the second light sensor 121 of the functional assembly 12 may be used to detect whether the electronic device is in the first state or the second state.
The processor 15 controls the first light sensor 14 to detect a first brightness value of a position where the first light sensor 14 is located, and controls the second light sensor 121 to detect a second brightness value of an environment around the electronic device, the processor 15 executes a first operation instruction when an absolute value of a difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value is less than or equal to a preset value, and the processor 15 executes a second operation instruction when the first brightness value is lower than the second brightness value and the absolute value of the difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value exceeds the preset value. Optionally, the first operation instruction is an operation instruction for turning on charging or data transmission related software, and the second operation instruction is an operation instruction for turning off charging or data transmission related software.
As will be described in conjunction with the application scenario, when the user pulls the device body 11 out of the curved screen 10 to the first state of the electronic device, the first light sensor 14 is exposed, and the brightness detected by the first light sensor 14 is the ambient light brightness around the electronic device, since the second light sensor 121 is always exposed, the processor 15 compares a first brightness value detected by the first light sensor 14 with a second brightness value detected by the light sensor 121, and if the difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value is not much within the detection error range of the sensors (i.e. the difference between the absolute values of the first brightness value and the second brightness value is less than or equal to the predetermined value), the electronic device is in the first state, namely, the USB interface is exposed, the processor 15 controls to execute an operation instruction for turning on the charging or data transmission related software; after the user finishes charging or data transmission in the first state of the electronic device, the user inserts the device body 11 back into the curved screen 10, and the first light sensor 14 is shielded by the curved screen 10, so that the ambient light brightness around the electronic device is not detected by the first light sensor 14, but the light intensity in the curved screen 10, that is, in the second state, the first brightness value is lower than the second brightness value and has a larger difference, and if the first brightness value is lower than the second brightness value and is lower than a certain degree (that is, the absolute value of the difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value exceeds a preset value), it indicates that the electronic device is in the second state, that is, the USB interface is hidden in the curved screen, and then executes an operation instruction for closing charging or data transmission related software.
It will be appreciated that other state detection sensors may be used in conjunction with the processor to effect detection of whether the electronic device is in the first state or the second state. The processor 15 is electrically connected to the state detection sensor, and the processor 15 is configured to control the state detection sensor to detect a state of the electronic device, execute a first operation instruction when detecting that the electronic device is in a first state, and execute a second operation instruction when detecting that the electronic device is in a second state.
For example, the state detection sensor may also be a hall sensor mounted to the curved screen 10 or to the device body 11, the hall sensor being disposed at a position such that the magnetic flux at the position of the hall sensor is different between the first state and the second state of the electronic device. For example, the hall sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the curved screen, and when the hall sensor is in the second state, the vertical projection of the hall sensor on the surface of the device main body falls on the device main body, namely the device main body passes through the position of the hall sensor, and the magnetic flux detected by the hall sensor is larger; when in the first state, the device body 11 is partially withdrawn, and the vertical projection of the hall sensor on the plane of the device body 11 does not fall on the device body 11, that is, the device body 11 does not pass through the hall sensor, and the magnetic flux detected by the hall sensor is relatively small.
The processor 15 is electrically connected with the hall sensor, the processor 15 is matched with the hall sensor to detect the magnetic flux at the position of the hall sensor, and the state processor 15 of the electronic device is judged to be in the second state according to the detected magnetic flux when the state processor 15 is matched with the hall sensor to detect that the magnetic flux at the corresponding position is larger than a first preset magnetic flux value (which indicates that the device main body is completely inserted into the curved screen), and the processor 15 is judged to be in the first state when the state processor 15 is matched with the hall sensor to detect that the magnetic flux at the corresponding position is smaller than a second preset magnetic flux value (which indicates that the device main body is at least partially drawn out relative to the curved.
The curved screen comprises a first main body part, a second main body part and a connecting part, wherein the first main body part and the second main body part are arranged oppositely, the connecting part is arranged on the side edges of the first main body part and the second main body part and is connected with the first main body part and the second main body part, the first main body part, the second main body part and the connecting part have display functions, and a display light-emitting surface of the first main body part and a display light-emitting surface of the second main body part deviate from each; can realize 100% comprehensive screen in the one side at one of them place of first main part or second main part, and can set up the required functional unit of autodyne or making a call in the another side, further through be equipped with external interface in the device main part, the device main part is inserted and is located in the space that the curved surface screen encloses, the device main part can be taken out to first state for the curved surface screen, the device main part can insert to the second state for the curved surface screen, external interface exposes under the first state, external interface is shielded by the curved surface screen under the second state, can reduce the exposed external interface of electronic device, prevent that dust etc. from getting into this interface.
