Referring to fig. 1, an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing assembly 10 and a display 20 connected to the housing assembly 10.
The housing assembly 10 forms a receiving cavity (not shown), and the electronic device 100 may further include a circuit board (not shown) and a battery (not shown), both of which may be disposed within the receiving cavity of the housing assembly 10. The circuit board may integrate the processor, power management module, memory unit, baseband chip, etc. of the electronic device 100. In embodiments where the electronic device 100 includes the display 20, the display 20 is communicatively coupled to the processor and the battery is capable of powering the display 20 and the electronic components on the circuit board. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further include a camera module (not shown) communicatively coupled to the circuit board, the battery being capable of powering the camera module. It is understood that the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes, but is not limited to, a terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other portable electronic devices 100.
In one embodiment, the electronic device 100 includes a fingerprint sensor 110 and a controller. The fingerprint sensor 110 is used for detecting a state of the electronic device 100 relative to the stand 200, that is, the fingerprint sensor 110 is used for detecting whether the electronic device 100 is in a state of being supported by the stand 200. For ease of understanding, the electronic device 100 is further described in terms of the structure of the stand 200 in a supported state. As shown in connection with fig. 2 and 3, the stand 200 includes a main body portion 210 and a support portion 220, and the support portion 220 is expandable and contractible with respect to the main body portion 210. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the support part 220 is unfolded with respect to the main body part 210, the support part 220 can support the electronic device 100 through the main body part 210.
The controller is electrically connected to the fingerprint sensor 110, and is configured to control a display mode of the electronic device 200 according to the state of the electronic device 200 detected by the fingerprint sensor 110 relative to the stand 200. Specifically, when the fingerprint sensor 110 detects that the electronic device 100 is abutted against the main body portion 210, and the supporting portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body portion 210, the controller controls the electronic device 100 to enter a full-screen display mode.
In this embodiment, when the electronic device 100 abuts against the main body 210 and the supporting portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body 210, the controller controls the electronic device 100 to enter the full-screen display mode, so that when the electronic device 100 abuts against the stand 200, the supporting portion 220 of the stand 200 is utilized to support the electronic device 100, the controller is triggered to enter the full-screen display mode to the electronic device 100, and therefore, a user only needs to place the electronic device 100 in a state supported by the stand 200, the electronic device 100 can enter the full-screen display mode, and full-screen operation experience of the electronic device 100 is improved. Specifically, the technical scheme for entering full-screen display can improve the experience of video playing. For example, after the user determines that the video is played, the user can enter the full-screen display mode in this way, so that the played video can quickly enter the full-screen display mode without the user operating the playing interface, and therefore, when the electronic device 100 of the application is utilized to watch the video, the operation convenience is obviously improved.
As can be appreciated, when the support portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body portion 210, the support 200 can support the electronic device 100 as a whole, and when the support portion 220 is folded relative to the main body portion 210, the support 200 is convenient for storage, thereby improving portability.
For ease of understanding, the principle of the fingerprint sensor 110 detecting the state of the electronic device 100 with respect to the cradle 200 will be hereinafter referred to as "recognition area" as the area that can be fingerprint-recognized by the fingerprint sensor 110.
As shown in connection with fig. 2 and 3, the stand 200 includes a fingerprint tag 230, and the fingerprint sensor 110 is capable of reading the fingerprint characteristics of the fingerprint tag 230 when the fingerprint tag 230 is located in the identification area of the fingerprint sensor 110, where the fingerprint characteristics generally represent the geometric characteristics of the fingerprint in a plane, and the spatial shape of the fingerprint characteristics are rarely considered, so that people study the geometric characteristics of the fingerprint patterns. Different fingerprint features will be distinguishable by different fingerprint lines. It will be appreciated that when the fingerprint tag 230 is outside the identification area of the fingerprint sensor 110, the fingerprint sensor 110 cannot read the fingerprint feature (e.g., fingerprint texture) of the fingerprint tag 230, i.e., the fingerprint sensor 110 cannot detect the fingerprint tag 230. Thus, the state of the holder 200 can be detected based on the detection of the fingerprint tag 230 by the fingerprint sensor 110. Here, the state of the stand 200 may include a supporting condition of the stand 200 on the electronic device 100, and also include a spreading condition of the supporting portion 220 of the stand 200 relative to the main body portion 210.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, in some embodiments, the support portion 220 is provided with a fingerprint tag 230, when the electronic device 100 is abutted against the main body portion 210 and the support portion 220 is folded relative to the main body portion 210, the fingerprint tag 230 is located in the identification area, so that the fingerprint sensor 110 can detect the fingerprint tag 230, when the support portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body portion 210, the fingerprint sensor 110 is located outside the identification area, so that the fingerprint sensor 110 cannot detect the fingerprint tag 230, and thus, according to the state that the fingerprint sensor 110 is switched from the state of detecting the fingerprint tag 230 to the state of not detecting the fingerprint tag 230, it can be determined that the support portion 220 is folded from the opposite main body portion 210 and is switched to be unfolded relative to the main body portion 210. I.e., the deployment of the support portion 220 relative to the body portion 210 is known. In this embodiment, when the electronic device 100 is supported by the stand 200, the fingerprint sensor 110 senses that the electronic device 100 is abutted against the main body 210, and then, as the support 220 is unfolded with respect to the main body 210, the fingerprint tag 230 leaves the recognition area of the fingerprint sensor 110 to learn the unfolding condition of the support 220, and based on the state of the stand 200 supporting the electronic device 100 when the support 220 is unfolded with respect to the main body 210, the stand 200 can be determined to support the electronic device 100 according to the state switching from the state of the support 220 being folded from the state of the support 220 with respect to the main body 210 to the state of the support 200 being unfolded with respect to the main body 210, and then, the controller controls the electronic device 100 to enter the full-screen display mode according to the state of the electronic device 100 detected by the fingerprint sensor 110 with respect to the stand 200.
In the embodiment in which the holder 200 is provided with the fingerprint tag 230, the fingerprint tag 230 is not limited to the support portion 220, and the fingerprint tag 230 may be provided to the main body portion 210, or a part of the fingerprint tag 230 may be provided to the main body portion 210, and another part may be provided to the support portion 220.
For example, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the fingerprint pattern carried by the fingerprint tag 230 includes a first portion 230a and a second portion 230b, the first portion 230a is disposed on the main body 210, the second portion 230b is disposed on the supporting portion 220, when the supporting portion 220 is folded relative to the main body 210, the first portion 230a and the second portion 230b are spliced with each other, so that when the electronic device 100 abuts against the main body 210, the fingerprint sensor 110 can detect the fingerprint pattern, and when the supporting portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body 210, the first portion 230a and the second portion 230b are separated from each other, so that the fingerprint sensor 110 cannot detect the fingerprint pattern, and the controller controls the electronic device 100 to enter the full-screen display mode. In this embodiment, only when the support portion 220 is folded relative to the main body portion 210, the first portion 230a and the second portion 230b are spliced with each other, so as to form a finished fingerprint pattern, and the integrity of the fingerprint pattern is detected based on the fingerprint tag 230, or the fingerprint tag 230 can only detect the fingerprint pattern of the first portion 230a and the second portion 230b spliced with each other, but cannot detect the fingerprint pattern of the first portion 230a and the second portion 230b separated from each other. In this way, the unfolded or folded state of the supporting portion 220 relative to the main body portion 210 can be detected, so as to determine whether the supporting portion 220 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, if it is determined that the supporting portion 220 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, that is, the stand 200 is in the state of supporting the electronic device 100, so that the controller of the electronic device 100 at this time controls the electronic device 100 to enter the full-screen display mode according to the detection state of the fingerprint sensor 110.
It should be noted that, as to whether the electronic device 100 is abutted against the main body 210, other detection structures may be adopted to perform detection, for example, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the electronic device 100 includes a detection element 120, the detection element 120 is electrically connected to the controller, and the detection element 120 is used to detect an abutting state of the electronic device 100 against the main body 210. In this embodiment, since the detection element 120 can detect the abutting state of the electronic device 100 and the main body 210, even if the fingerprint sensor 110 cannot detect the fingerprint tag 230 due to the fact that the support portion 220 is in the unfolded state before the electronic device 100 abuts against the main body 210, the detection element 120 can clearly determine whether the electronic device 100 abuts against the main body 210, so that it is ensured that the electronic device 100 abuts against the main body 210, according to the detection situation of the fingerprint tag 230 by the fingerprint sensor 110, whether the support portion 220 of the stand 200 is in the unfolded state and supports the electronic device 100 is known, so as to facilitate improving the accuracy of entering the full-screen display mode by the electronic device 100.
The detection element 120 includes at least one of a hall sensor, a pressure sensor, a magneto-resistive sensor, or an infrared sensor.
It should be noted that, the display screen 20 may be a screen with a fixed display screen size, or may be a flexible screen to adapt to the display screen size adjustment.
For example, in some embodiments in which the electronic device 100 is a folder-type electronic device and the display screen 20 is a flexible screen as shown in conjunction with fig. 9 and 10, the case assembly 10 includes a first case 10a and a second case 10b that are foldable with each other, the display screen 20 can be folded and unfolded along with the first case 10a and the second case 10b based on the display screen 20 being a flexible screen, thereby improving portability of the electronic device 100 in a folded state and providing a larger display area in an unfolded state to obtain a large screen display effect.
When the electronic device 100 is a folder-type electronic device, the display 20 may be connected to the case assembly 10 in a folded manner or may be connected to the case assembly 10 in an unfolded manner. Fig. 9 and 10 illustrate the display screen 20 attached to the housing assembly 10 in an inwardly folded manner. As can be appreciated, in the internal folding manner, when the electronic device 100 is in the folded state, the display screen 20 is wrapped between the first casing 10a and the second casing 10b, so that the display surface of the display screen 20 is hidden, and the casing assembly 10 can provide a good protection effect for the display screen 20. Unlike the inner folding manner, in the electronic device 100 in the folded state when the display screen 20 is connected to the case assembly 10 in the outer folding manner, the first case 10a and the second case 10b are covered by the display screen 20, and in this folding manner, the display surface of the display screen 20 is always exposed to the case assembly 10 regardless of whether the electronic device 100 is in the folded state or the unfolded state.
The fingerprint sensor 110 may be provided in the first case 10a or in the second case 10b. It should be appreciated that the fingerprint sensor 110 may be disposed on a side of the first housing 10a or the second housing 10b facing away from the flexible screen, or may be disposed at a frame position corresponding to the first housing 10a or the second housing 10b, and the location of the fingerprint sensor 110 in the housing assembly 10 is not limited herein.
Note that, for a folding electronic device, the full screen display may be displayed with the folding axis Z-Z (see fig. 9) kept vertical (i.e., portrait), or may be displayed with the folding axis Z-Z kept horizontal (i.e., landscape).
As shown in connection with fig. 11 and 12, in some embodiments, when the display screen 20 takes the form of a flexible screen, the electronic device 100 may be a telescoping electronic device. For example, the shell assembly 10 includes a first shell 10a and a second shell 10b that are relatively telescopic, at least a portion of the display screen 20 can move telescopically with the first shell 10a and the second shell 10b to adjust the unfolding length of the display screen 20, and the fingerprint sensor 110 is disposed on the first shell 10a or the second shell 10b, so that it can be seen that the above-mentioned technical solution of full screen display can also be applied to telescopic electronic devices. The electronic device 100 may be a folding electronic device as described above, or may be a telescopic electronic device, which will not be described herein.
Note that, in the case of a telescopic electronic device, the full screen display may be performed in such a manner that the telescopic direction is kept vertical (i.e., portrait), or in such a manner that the telescopic direction is kept horizontal (i.e., landscape).
As for the installation position of the fingerprint sensor 110, the electronic device 100 may be used in combination with the stand 200, that is, when the stand 200 supports the electronic device 100, the fingerprint sensor 110 may be able to learn the state of the electronic device 100 relative to the stand 200 by identifying the fingerprint tag 230. For a screen in which the display 20 is a fixed size, the electronic device 100 includes a rear case corresponding to the display 20 and a bezel connected therebetween, and it is understood that the bezel is connected to a peripheral side of the rear case. The frame can be integrally formed on the rear shell, or can be connected with the rear shell through a mode of buckling connection or glue adhesion and the like. The fingerprint sensor 110 may be disposed on the rear case or the frame. When the fingerprint sensor 110 is arranged on the frame, the support 200 supports the electronic device 100, the fingerprint sensor 110 can identify the fingerprint tag 230, based on the fact that the side plate can be arranged on the main body 210 of the support 200, the fingerprint tag 230 is arranged at the position corresponding to the fingerprint sensor 110 by using the side plate, meanwhile, one side of the fingerprint sensor 110 can be arranged against the frame by using the side plate, the stability of the electronic device 100 under the support of the support 200 is improved, and the electronic device is not easy to slip from the side.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the fingerprint sensor 110 may be a conventional fingerprint module for implementing a fingerprint function for the electronic device 100. Specifically, the fingerprint sensor 110 is further configured to perform fingerprint unlocking on the screen locking state of the electronic device 100, for example, in a normal case, the fingerprint sensor 110 for performing fingerprint unlocking in the electronic device 100 is disposed on a back or a side of the electronic device 100, where the back of the electronic device 100 refers to a side of the electronic device 100 facing away from the display screen 20; the side surface is a surface on which a side edge of the electronic device 100 is located, and is typically a surface on which a peripheral outline of the electronic device 100 is formed.
In this embodiment, the fingerprint sensor 110 for fingerprint unlocking in the electronic device 100 is used for detecting the supporting state of the bracket 200, so that the component cost of the electronic device 100 is not increased, only the control program of the controller of the electronic device 100 is required to be adjusted in a correlated manner, the overall cost of the electronic device 100 is reduced, the electronic device 100 is supported by the bracket 200, and the electronic device 100 is automatically switched to a full-screen display mode, so that the full-screen display operation is simplified, and the user operation experience is improved.
For example, as shown in connection with fig. 13 and 14, another embodiment of the present application provides a stand 200 including a main body portion 210, a support portion 220, a fingerprint tag 230, and a transmission mechanism 240. The supporting portion 220 is connected to the main body portion 210, the supporting portion 220 can be unfolded and folded relative to the main body portion 210, and when the supporting portion 220 is unfolded relative to the main body portion 210, the supporting portion 220 can support the electronic device 100 through the main body portion 210, so that the electronic device 100 abuts against the supporting portion 220.
As further shown in fig. 13 and 14, the transmission mechanism 240 is connected to the supporting portion 220, when the supporting portion 220 moves towards the extended position relative to the main portion 210, the supporting portion 220 drives the fingerprint tag 230 to move to the first position and the second position relative to the main portion 210 via the transmission mechanism 240, and based on the movement of the fingerprint tag 230 between the first position and the second position, the environment or the position of the fingerprint tag 230 can be changed, and in this embodiment, the state detection change when the electronic device 100 is supported by the stand 200 can be corresponding to the state detection change when the fingerprint tag 230 is in the first position and the second position.

The detection unit is used to detect whether the support 12 is unfolded with respect to the housing 11.
The detection unit includes a relatively movable fingerprint sensor 101 and a fingerprint tag 102, the fingerprint sensor 101 is disposed at a back or side of the housing 11, and when the support 12 moves relative to the housing 11, the fingerprint tag 102 moves into or out of a recognition area of the fingerprint sensor 101, so that the fingerprint sensor 101 can detect a state of the support 12 relative to the housing 11.
The controller is electrically connected to the fingerprint sensor 101 and is configured to control a display mode of the electronic device 100' according to the state of the support 12 relative to the housing 11 detected by the fingerprint sensor 101. When the fingerprint sensor 101 detects that the support 12 is unfolded with respect to the housing 11, the controller controls the electronic device 100' to enter a full screen display mode.
In this embodiment, the support 12 is capable of supporting the electronic apparatus 100' when the support 12 is in a deployed state with respect to the housing 11. When the support 12 is not required, the support 12 may be collapsed, thereby maintaining the overall aesthetic appearance and portability of the electronic device 100'. When the fingerprint sensor 101 detects that the support 12 is unfolded relative to the housing 11, the controller is triggered to enter a full-screen display mode for the electronic device 100 'by the unfolding operation of the support 12, so that a user only needs to place the electronic device 100' in a supported state, the electronic device 100 'can enter the full-screen display mode, and the full-screen operation experience of the electronic device 100' is improved.
In this embodiment, the electronic apparatus 100' may be a folding electronic apparatus or a telescopic electronic apparatus, and is not limited thereto. Reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments for the foldable electronic device and the telescopic electronic device, and no further description is given here. It will be appreciated that in the case where the electronic device 100' is a folder-type electronic device or a folder-type electronic device, the housing assembly 10 will replace the housing 11, and the support 12 may be disposed on the first housing 10a or the second housing 10b based on the housing assembly 10 including the first housing 10a and the second housing 10 b. In some embodiments, the number of the supporting members 12 may be 2 or more, and thus, the supporting members 12 may be provided on the first housing 10a or the second housing 10 b.
As shown in connection with fig. 15 and 16, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100' includes a rotating shaft 13, and the support 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 through the rotating shaft 13. When the support 12 is required to be unfolded, the support 12 is required to be rotated about the rotation shaft 13 in a direction away from the housing 11, and correspondingly, when the support 12 is required to be folded, the support 12 is required to be rotated about the rotation shaft 13 in a direction toward the housing 11. When the support 12 is folded, the support 12 is attached to the back surface of the housing 11, so that the overall appearance of the electronic device 100' is good. Further, the back surface of the housing 11 may be provided with a recess so that the support 12 can be accommodated in the recess when it is folded.
The fingerprint sensor 101 is fixedly arranged on the housing 11, and the fingerprint tag 102 is fixedly arranged on the support 12. When the support 12 is unfolded and folded with respect to the housing 11, the fingerprint tag 102 and the fingerprint sensor 101 are relatively moved, thereby. When the fingerprint sensor 101 approaches and moves away from the fingerprint tag 102, the fingerprint tag 102 moves to or from the recognition area of the fingerprint sensor 101, thereby determining whether the support 12 is unfolded with respect to the housing 11 based on the detection result of the fingerprint tag 102 by the fingerprint sensor 101.
It will be appreciated that when the support 12 is in the extended position relative to the housing 11, the fingerprint tag 102 is located outside the identification area of the fingerprint sensor 101, and when the support 12 is in the retracted position relative to the housing 11, the fingerprint tag 102 is located within the identification area of the fingerprint sensor 101.
It should be noted that, the relative movement of the fingerprint sensor 101 and the fingerprint tag 102 may be directly driven by the support 12, or may be indirectly driven by the support 12. For example, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100' further includes a transmission 240, and the fingerprint tag 102 is coupled to the transmission 240. When the support 12 moves relative to the housing 11, the support 12 drives the fingerprint tag 102 to move relative to the fingerprint sensor 101 via the transmission mechanism 240, so that the fingerprint tag 102 moves to or away from the identification area of the fingerprint sensor 101, so as to determine whether the support 12 is unfolded relative to the housing 11 according to the detection result of the fingerprint sensor 101.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment where the support member 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 through the rotating shaft 13, the gear 242 may be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13, so that when the support member 12 rotates relative to the housing 11, the support member 12 drives the gear 242 to rotate through the rotating shaft 13, so that the gear 242 drives the rack 241 to move relative to the housing 11. The gear 242 may be engaged with teeth provided on the rotating shaft 13, so that when the rotating shaft 13 rotates along with the supporting member 12, the gear 242 is driven to rotate, so that the gear 242 drives the rack 241 to move relative to the housing 11. A sliding connection may be adopted between the rack 241 and the housing 11 to improve the smoothness of the relative movement between the rack 241 and the housing 11. In some embodiments, the housing 11 may be provided with a guide groove, the rack 241 is disposed in the guide groove, and the rack 241 moves along the guide groove under the driving of the gear 242.
