Detailed Description

Before describing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, first, a technical scenario of the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the drawings.

At present, terminal devices such as smart phones and the like have a development trend of higher screen occupation ratio, and large terminal manufacturers successively provide their own high screen occupation ratio mobile phones. The screen occupation ratio generally refers to a ratio of an area of a displayable image area of a display screen of a terminal device such as a mobile phone to an area of a front side (a surface on which the display screen is located) of an electronic device, and when the screen occupation ratio of the mobile phone is high (for example, the screen occupation ratio of a mobile phone with a high screen occupation ratio released by a current terminal manufacturer exceeds 90%), the mobile phone is similar to the front side and is called a "full-screen" mobile phone by a mobile phone manufacturer and a user.

Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of a full-screen mobile phone currently on the market. As shown in fig. 1, in the existing full-screen mobile phone, an area for placing an earphone, a front camera and other sensors is reserved at the top of a display screen, and the area is artificially called as a "bang screen", a "beauty tip", a "punching screen" and the like by manufacturers according to different shapes. However, the area above the special-shaped screen cannot display images, so that the integrity of the screen is sacrificed to a certain extent, and the appearance is influenced; moreover, the UI of the mobile phone system and the application program must be optimized correspondingly for the above areas, which increases the difficulty of development.

Besides the mobile phone, other terminal devices such as a tablet personal computer are developed towards improving the screen occupation ratio, and with the further development of the trend of "full screen", if the terminal devices such as the "full screen" tablet personal computer appear in the future, the above problems can be faced.

In order to solve the above problem, the present application provides a terminal device. The terminal equipment can be any equipment with an image display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, an intelligent watch, a bracelet, an intelligent sound box, intelligent home equipment, a display, a notebook computer, mobile multimedia equipment borne on a vehicle and the like.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2a and fig. 2b are schematic structural diagrams of a first embodiment of a terminal device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 2a and 2a, the terminal device includes a main body 10, a display 20 is mounted on one side of the main body 10, the display 20 includes a first display area 21 having a light transmittance greater than a first threshold and a second display area 22 having a light transmittance less than a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is greater than or equal to the second threshold. In some examples, the light transmission is expressed as a percentage, and then both the first threshold and the second threshold are percentages; the first threshold and the second threshold may be equal, for example, 10% each, indicating that the luminous flux transmitted through the corresponding display area is 10% of the incident luminous flux; the first and second thresholds may also be unequal, for example: the first threshold is 10% and the second threshold is 6%.

The body 10 of the terminal device is further provided with a movable mechanism 30 therein, the movable mechanism 30 is located below the display screen 20, and a first optical assembly 31 is provided in a direction facing the display screen 20, the first optical assembly 31 including at least one optical unit. The movable mechanism 30 can generate displacement motion relative to the main body 10, so that the position of the first optical assembly 31 relative to the main body 10 changes, and the first optical assembly moves from the main body 10 to the outside of the main body 10 or retracts into the main body 10. When the movable mechanism 30 moves to a first position relative to the main body 10 (fig. 2b), the first optical assembly 31 is located outside the main body 10, and when the movable mechanism 30 moves to a second position relative to the main body 10 (fig. 2a), the light path area of the first optical assembly 31 for receiving and/or transmitting the light source is located just below the first display area 21.

In this application, the Display screen 20 may be an organic light-emitting diode Display (OLED Display), for example: an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode Display (AMOLED Display), a Micro LED Display (Micro LED Display), or the like. The display panel 20 may further include a hard panel and a flexible panel according to the bendability of the substrate (substrate). Wherein, the hard screen can adopt a glass substrate; the flexible screen can be made of a substrate made of elastic plastic, and when the display screen 20 is made of the flexible screen, curved surfaces can be formed on two sides or the periphery of the machine body 10, and the terminal device can be made to have a foldable machine body.

In the present application, both the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 of the display screen 20 can be used for displaying images. The first display area 21 has high light transmittance, and is in a transparent state when the terminal device is turned off, and a light source from the outside of the terminal device can penetrate through the first display area 21 to enter the inside of the terminal device and be received by the first optical assembly 31 below the first display area 21. In some embodiments, in order to achieve higher light transmittance of the first display area 21, the substrate, the anode and the cathode of the first display area 21 may be made of transparent materials, or the display screen is perforated at the position of the first display area 21 and another display screen made of transparent materials is spliced at the perforated position, when both the display screens are bright, a complete image can be displayed together, and when the display screen made of transparent materials is off, the first display area 21 becomes a transparent area.

The optical unit in the embodiment of the present application may specifically include: one or more of a camera, a flash lamp, a proximity light sensor (proximity sensor), an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS), a Structured Light Sensor (SLS), an infrared camera (infrared camera), a flood sensor (flood projector), a Time of Flight sensor (Time of Flight sensor), and a dot projector.

The camera is used to capture still images or video. The camera consists of a photosensitive element and a lens, and an object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then transmits the electrical signal to an Image Signal Processor (ISP) of the terminal device to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signal in standard RGB, YUV and other formats.

The proximity light sensor may include, for example, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and a light detector (e.g., a photodiode). The light emitting diode may be an infrared light emitting diode for emitting infrared light outward. The photodiode detects infrared reflected light from a nearby object. When sufficient reflected light is detected, it can be determined that there is an object near the terminal device. When insufficient reflected light is detected, it can be determined that no object terminal equipment is near the terminal equipment, and the proximity light sensor can be used for detecting that the user holds the terminal equipment to be close to the ear for conversation, so that the screen is automatically extinguished, and the purpose of saving power is achieved. The proximity light sensor can also be used in a holster mode, a pocket mode automatically unlocks and locks the screen.

The ambient light sensor is used for sensing the ambient light brightness. The terminal equipment can adaptively adjust the brightness of the display screen according to the perceived brightness of the ambient light. The ambient light sensor can also be used to automatically adjust the white balance when taking a picture. The ambient light sensor can also be matched with the proximity light sensor to detect whether the terminal equipment is in a pocket or not so as to prevent mistaken touch.

The structured light sensor at least comprises a dot matrix projector, a floodlight sensing element and an infrared lens. The dot matrix projector is used for generating a large number (tens of thousands) of invisible light spots to form speckle projection on an object; the floodlight induction element is used for supplementing light to the camera by means of invisible infrared light, so that the camera can capture an image of an object under dark light; the infrared lens is used for reading a speckle projected pattern of the dot matrix projector on the object, so that the depth of field information of the surface of the object is acquired, and a 3D model of the object is established. The structured light sensor can be applied to face recognition, face payment, background blurring, 3D light effect, 3D beauty and 3D AR (augmented reality) special effect superposition when a front camera shoots a portrait photo, 3D bionic imaging, 3D video call, 3D expression and the like.

The flight time sensor generally comprises two core devices, namely an emitting illumination module and a photosensitive receiving module, can continuously send light pulses to a measured target, then receives a light signal returned from an object at a sensor end, and finally obtains the distance of the measured target by calculating the flight (round trip) time of the emitting light signal and the receiving light signal. With the assistance of traditional cameras and other sensors, the system can be used for 3D sensing detection, motion tracking, gesture detection, eyeball tracking, night scene identification and the like of human faces.

In one embodiment, the first optical assembly 31 includes an optical unit, which may be a camera or any kind of sensor. For example, when the optical unit is a camera, the terminal device may have the following application scenarios:

when a user uses a terminal device to play a game, watch a video, browse a web page or social media, and use an instant messaging tool to transmit a message, the user usually does not need to turn on a camera of the terminal device, so that the movable mechanism 30 is located in the body 10 (fig. 2a), the first display area 21 normally displays an image, and a picture displayed by the display screen 20 for the user is complete, thereby ensuring that the user obtains a good impression.

When a user needs to use the camera but does not need the camera to acquire a high-quality image, the terminal device keeps the movable mechanism 30 at the position shown in fig. 2a, turns off the first display area 21, and turns on the camera, so that the camera takes a picture or a video below the first display area 21, and the like, thereby reducing the movement times of the movable mechanism 30 and prolonging the service life of the movable mechanism 30. In an exemplary scenario of facial unlocking, when a user picks up a terminal device and aims at a face, the terminal device obtains a request of the user for facial unlocking through sensor data, the terminal device keeps the first display area 21 in a screen-off state and starts a camera, the camera captures face information of the user through the first display area 21, and a processor of the terminal device compares the obtained face information with face data of a user owner to complete a facial unlocking process.

When the user needs to use the camera and needs the camera to capture high-quality images (for example, self-timer shooting, video call, etc.), the movable mechanism 30 moves from the inside of the main body 10 to the outside of the main body 10 (fig. 2b), the first display area 21 displays images normally, and the camera takes pictures or photographs outside the main body 10.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may further determine how to turn on the camera according to the operation of the user.

Alternatively, the user may issue a request for opening the camera by performing a preset click or slide operation on the display screen 20. For example, when the user performs a sliding operation to the left or the right on the screen locking interface, or clicks a designated virtual key on the screen locking interface, the terminal device moves the movable mechanism 30 to the position of fig. 2b, and turns on the camera, and the display screen 20 also enters the camera page at the same time, so that the user can perform self-shooting or video recording.

Optionally, when the user performs different gesture operations on the screen locking interface, the terminal device turns on the camera in different manners. For example, when the user performs one-finger sliding on the screen locking interface, the terminal device turns on the camera in the state of fig. 2 a; when the user performs the two-finger or multi-finger sliding on the screen locking interface, the terminal device moves the movable mechanism 30 from the inside of the body 10 to the outside of the body 10, and turns on the camera in the state of fig. 2 b.

Optionally, the user may also enable the terminal device to turn on the camera in two states of fig. 2a and fig. 2b by performing a preset sliding operation on the camera interface. For example: when the camera is turned on in the state of fig. 2a, the user can perform a preset sliding operation on the camera interface, so that the movable mechanism 30 moves to the position of fig. 2 b; when the camera is turned on in the state of fig. 2b, the user can perform a preset sliding operation on the camera interface, so that the movable mechanism 30 is retracted to the position of fig. 2 a.

Optionally, the user may also perform a preset click operation on the camera interface, so that the terminal device turns on the camera in two states of fig. 2a and fig. 2 b. For example: fig. 3 is an exemplary schematic diagram of a camera interface. As shown in fig. 3, the camera interface includes a virtual button 40 for selecting a camera, and a plurality of icons are displayed on the camera interface after the user clicks the virtual button 40. Wherein the icon 41 is used to switch the front camera and the rear camera; icon 42 is used to turn on the camera in the state of fig. 2 a; icon 43 is used to move movable mechanism 30 out of body 10 and to turn on the camera in the state of fig. 2 b. Therefore, the user can open the camera in different states by clicking the corresponding icon.

Optionally, the terminal device may provide different usage scenarios, and each usage scenario corresponds to one camera opening mode. For example: scene 1 corresponds to turning on the camera in the state of fig. 2a, scene 2 corresponds to turning on the camera in the state of fig. 2b, and the terminal device may set a designated switch key on the camera interface to guide the user to select different usage scenes, and move the movable mechanism 30 to a corresponding position according to the usage scene selected by the user.

Optionally, the terminal device may further record a setting of the user when using the front camera last time, and when using the front camera next time, the terminal device determines whether to move the camera out of the body 10 according to the recorded setting.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, the first optical assembly 31 includes an optical unit 311 and an optical unit 312, the optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 are located below the first display area 21 when the movable mechanism 30 is retracted into the main body 10 (fig. 4a), and the optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 are located outside the main body 10 when the movable mechanism 30 is moved from inside the main body 10 to inside the main body 10 (fig. 4 b). The optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 may be the same optical unit or different optical units.

Optionally, the optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 are both cameras. The optical unit 311 may select a camera with a high effective pixel, a large aperture, and a large size of a photosensitive element as a main camera; the optical unit 312 may select a wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, a macro camera, etc. as the sub camera. When both the optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 are cameras, the terminal device may have the following application scenarios:

when the user does not need to turn on the camera by the terminal device, the movable mechanism 30 is located in the body 10 (fig. 4a), the first display area 21 normally displays images, and the picture displayed by the display screen 20 for the user is complete, so that the user can obtain a good look and feel.

When the user needs to use the camera, but does not need the camera to acquire a high-quality image, the terminal device keeps the movable mechanism 30 at the position shown in fig. 4a, turns off the first display area 21, and turns on one or two cameras, so that the cameras take pictures or make video shots below the first display area 21, thereby reducing the number of times of the movement of the movable mechanism 30 and prolonging the service life of the movable mechanism 30. In an exemplary scenario of face unlocking, when a user picks up a terminal device and aims at a face, the terminal device obtains a request of the user for face unlocking through sensor data, the terminal device keeps the first display area 21 in a screen-off state and starts one or two cameras, the cameras capture face information of the user through the first display area 21, and a processor of the terminal device compares the obtained face information with face data of a host, so that a face unlocking process is completed. If one camera is started, the face photo of the user can be captured, and if two cameras are started, the binocular ranging method can be used for capturing the face photo of the user and simultaneously acquiring the depth of field information of the face of the user, so that the accuracy of face unlocking is improved.

When the user needs to use the camera and the camera is required to capture high-quality images (for example, self-timer shooting, video call, etc.), the movable mechanism 30 moves from the inside of the main body 10 to the position shown in fig. 4b, the first display area 21 displays images normally, and the camera takes pictures or photographs outside the main body 10.

Optionally, the optical unit 311 is a camera, and the optical unit 312 is a time-of-flight sensor. When a user carries out self-shooting, the time-of-flight sensor captures the human image of the user and the depth of field information of objects in a scene, measures the distance of the objects in the scene to determine an initial depth map generated by the camera, and then carries out fine adjustment on the initial depth map. Through real-time accurate depth ranging, progressive background blurring is achieved, a naturally blurred depth-of-field effect is presented, details cannot be lost, the picture is more highly layered, a main body is naturally integrated in a shooting scene, a person cannot feel separation, and the main body can be presented more prominently.

When a user self-shoots in a dark light or backlight environment, the infrared lens is used for supplementing light to the camera, so that the camera can capture images of objects in the dark light or backlight environment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5a, 5b and 5c, the optical unit 311 and the optical unit 312 are arranged in line along the moving direction of the movable mechanism 30.

The structure and the method can enable the terminal equipment to have a pocket mode or a leather sheath mode. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the proximity optical sensor detects the distance of an obstacle in front of the display screen 20 from the display screen 20, when the terminal device is located in a clothes pocket and a bag of a user or the display screen 20 of the terminal device is covered with a protective leather sheath, the distance detected by the proximity optical sensor is very small and is lower than a fourth threshold value (for example: 5cm), and the display screen 20 keeps a screen-off state; when the user takes the terminal device out of the pocket of clothes and the bag or opens the protective holster, the distance measured by the proximity light sensor becomes large and greater than a fifth threshold (for example: 15cm), in which case the second display area 22 lights up to display the content and the camera starts capturing the face image for face unlocking.

For example, the third optical assembly 33 may include an ambient light sensor, and when the user needs to use the optical assembly, the ambient light sensor senses the light intensity in the environment where the terminal device is located, so that the terminal device determines how to turn on each optical unit in the first optical assembly 31 and/or the second optical assembly 32 according to the light intensity. For example: when the light intensity is weak, the terminal device starts an infrared lens and/or a floodlight sensing element in the first optical assembly 31 and/or the second optical assembly 32 to supplement light to the camera; or the terminal equipment can determine the exposure time, the light sensitivity and the like of the camera according to the light intensity so as to ensure that the camera can shoot high-quality pictures under any light intensity.
