So, send the screen deformation signal that corresponds with the deformation state that current self was located for first electronic equipment, played the automatic effect of deformation that takes place of the flexible screen of supplementary first electronic equipment for the flexible screen of first electronic equipment takes place to laminate and uses the scene at present after the deformation, has reduced the perception of user to deformation resistance at the use electronic equipment in-process, thereby has promoted user experience.

Optionally, the second electronic device may send the screen deformation signal to the first electronic device in a wireless connection manner, for example, in a bluetooth manner, an NFC manner, or a WIFI manner.

Optionally, the second electronic device may be associated with one or more first electronic devices at the same time, that is, the plurality of first electronic devices may be allowed to be attached to the second electronic device at the same time after being deformed.

Optionally, in the screen deformation control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the step 201 may be executed as follows:

acquiring deformation characteristic information corresponding to a target deformation detection point in a deformation area of the second electronic device;

and generating the screen deformation signal according to the deformation characteristic information.

It can be understood that after the second electronic device is deformed, the deformation characteristic information corresponding to the target deformation detection points in the deformation area under the deformation state of the second electronic device is obtained, and then the screen deformation signal is generated according to the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point, so that the flexible screen of the first electronic device is accurately controlled to send deformation, and the first electronic device is well attached to the second electronic device.

Optionally, the deformation characteristic information may include a bending angle, a bending direction, and the like.

Optionally, the deformation area may be embodied as a groove in the second electronic device, and is adapted to the size of the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device is attached to the second electronic device.

Optionally, in the screen deformation control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the content carried by the screen deformation signal includes one of the following:

the deformation characteristic information;

generating a deformation space model corresponding to the current deformation state based on the deformation characteristic information;

and determining the physical acting force based on the deformation characteristic information.

It can be understood that the screen deformation signal for controlling the flexible screen of the first electronic device to deform automatically may contain different contents or take different forms, specifically:

on the one hand, the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point on the deformation area of the second electronic device can be directly contained or expressed, so that the first electronic device can directly control each corresponding target deformation characteristic point of the flexible screen to generate consistent deformation based on the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point on the one hand, and on the other hand, can generate a corresponding deformation space model based on the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point firstly, and then control each corresponding target deformation characteristic point of the flexible screen to generate consistent deformation more intuitively according to the deformation space model.

On the other hand, after the second electronic device acquires the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point on the deformation area, the corresponding deformation space model can be generated based on the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each target deformation detection point, and the deformation space model is sent to the first electronic device in a screen deformation signal mode, so that the first electronic device can directly enable the flexible screen of the first electronic device to automatically generate corresponding deformation according to the deformation space model sent by the second electronic device, and in an automatic and intelligent deformation process, operations such as redundant data analysis and processing are not needed, and the power consumption of the device is reduced.

On the other hand, after the second electronic device deforms, strong physical acting force generated between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and determined based on the deformation characteristic information corresponding to each deformation detection point can be used for directly guiding the target deformation characteristic point of the flexible screen and the target deformation detection point in the deformation area of the second electronic device to automatically deform in a consistent manner.

Optionally, in any of the above embodiments, the first electronic device may include a mobile terminal provided with a flexible screen, such as a mobile phone, a palm computer, and the like, and may further include other terminal devices; the second electronic device is an external device with flexible deformation characteristics relative to the first electronic device.

With reference to fig. 3, a description will be given by taking an example that the first electronic device is a mobile terminal provided with a flexible screen, and the second electronic device is a chassis which has a flexible deformation characteristic and is externally disposed with respect to the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, there are two entities, one is a mobile terminal provided with a flexible screen, and one chassis with flexible deformation properties. The chassis is used for assisting in positioning deformation characteristic information and is a source for conveying the deformation characteristic information to the mobile terminal, information interaction can be carried out between the chassis and the mobile terminal in a wireless mode similar to NFC (near field communication) without physical connection, and the chassis has the significance of providing state information of deformation of a flexible screen of the mobile terminal. That is to say, utilize external chassis, produce the characteristic information of guide equipment deformation action, share above-mentioned deformation data to mobile terminal through the communication mode that predetermines, equipment end is according to characteristic information, takes place deformation laminating and uses the scene at present automatically.

For example, for a Pad provided with a flexible screen, the size is large, the screen is made of a flexible material, but other structures (a battery, a circuit board and the like) determine that the equipment does not have any deformation capacity, and only can perform deformation of limited behaviors under the current structure, so that when the chassis is located on a certain cylindrical object, the Pad can be attached to the chassis after being deformed through deformation characteristic information provided by the chassis, and the experience of the impression is improved. In addition, a plurality of pads (display panels) can be arranged on the non-plane of the cylindrical object to form a large screen in a combined mode, due to the fact that the non-plane is adopted, deformation characteristic information can be provided for the corresponding pads through the base plates arranged on the cylindrical object, the pads can be directly mounted on the corresponding base plates, and therefore the large screen is formed by means of seamless fit of the cylindrical object.

For another example, when a user wears a chassis (the chassis can be imagined as an object similar to a wrist guard) on the body (such as an arm), a handheld mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, can be directly attached to the chassis after being deformed according to deformation data provided by the chassis, and is indirectly equivalent to being attached to the arm, such as being hung on the arm in a running scene, and other tools for holding the mobile phone do not need to be additionally carried.

Further, the mobile terminal and the chassis can be attached together in an adsorption manner, for example, mutually attracted magnetic force attachments are respectively arranged on the chassis and the mobile terminal, and the chassis and the mobile terminal are attached together by utilizing the magnetic force between magnets; or the two can be bound together by using a physical fixing structure, for example, a physical fixing structure similar to a button is arranged at the frame of the two, and the two are bound together by using the physical fixing structure because the shapes of the two are consistent after deformation.

Specifically, for the chassis, the chassis has a flexible deformation characteristic, and a deformation area matched with the mobile terminal can exist, the deformation area includes but is not limited to a groove, and specifically can be matched with the back of the mobile terminal, so that the direct display screen of the mobile terminal faces upwards and is attached to the chassis. Wherein, there are a plurality of deformation check points in the deformation region, like point a, point B in fig. 3, the significance that the deformation check point exists lies in the deformation characteristic information that detects the deformation region to the deformation characteristic quantization of chassis becomes characteristic data, like the degree of curvature in a certain section region on chassis, through the deformation data of a plurality of points, then can abstract into a deformation spatial model with the holistic deformation in current region, further mobile terminal can be through the deformation state of this deformation spatial model adjustment self. Wherein, the chassis can change the form through at least the following mode to possess the ability of deformation:

(1) the inner part of the chassis can be provided with a plurality of joints or foldable mechanisms, a curve can be formed by a plurality of straight lines, and similarly, the surface of the chassis can be disassembled into small planes, so that the chassis which can be bent is realized; or other materials with flexibility can be adopted to realize the bending property of the chassis.

(2) In addition, the chassis is provided with a device capable of identifying deformation characteristic information of the chassis, specifically, information can be sensed at contact points of joints, a circuit can be switched on to detect the deformation characteristic information in a similar contact process, and the joint points can be known to be bent or unbent by reading data at the contact points; similar magnetic objects can be enabled to make the magnetic characteristics in the vicinity of the objects larger when the objects are contacted, and the sensor reads the sensor data of each joint point to identify whether the joint point is bent or straight.

As can be seen from the above, the whole chassis can be disassembled into various small planes, and the information of the extension or bending between the planes can be read. After the chassis identifies the information of the self bending, data can be shared to the mobile terminal through the forms (including but not limited to) of Bluetooth or NFC and the like.

For the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal has a flexible screen, and specifically, a mechanical device (such as a gear and a hinge) for driving the flexible screen to deform is arranged in the content portion of the mobile terminal, for example, a motor is used for driving the mechanical device to operate, so that the deformation state of the flexible screen is adjusted. Specifically, the flexible screen also has deformation feature points which win the game with a plurality of deformation detection points in the deformation area of the chassis, such as points a 'and B' in fig. 3, the mobile terminal can adjust the deformation feature points of the flexible screen to a state corresponding to the deformation detection points in the deformation area of the chassis according to the feature data of the deformation space model shared by the chassis, which is equivalent to a simulation of the current deformation state of the chassis and is similar to a mirror-image behavior, a three-dimensional space mode can be established by the data collected by the chassis, and as long as the state of each corresponding deformation feature point on the mobile terminal is consistent with the state of each deformation detection point on the chassis, the deformation directions and the states of the two deformation feature points can be consistent.

Optionally, a more direct feature point matching mode can be used between the chassis and the mobile terminal to achieve attachment, specifically, a strong guiding force such as a magnetic force can be generated at a deformation detection point of the chassis, and the deformation can be rapidly deformed by directly acting on the deformation feature point of the mobile terminal according to a physical acting force.

In above-mentioned chassis and mobile terminal's interaction, the chassis tends to possess more easy variability in the design, and the effect that the chassis exists lies in the direction of guide mobile terminal deformation, therefore self possesses good variability, so, can provide better user experience on the one hand, and the user falls to minimumly to the perception of deformation resistance in the use, and on the other hand is in order to guarantee to wear the effect, laminating user that can be more on the whole experience of deformation, more seamless laminating. In summary, the embodiment of the invention provides a set of automatic and fast auxiliary positioning mode, so that the flexible screen is more intelligent and fast in the deformation process, and the user experience is improved.
