[0039] In this application, a Hall sensor, also known as a Hall effect sensor, is a transducer that converts a changing magnetic field into a change in output voltage. Hall sensors are primarily used to measure magnetic fields, but can also measure physical quantities that generate and influence magnetic fields, such as those used in proximity switches, Hall effect sensors, position measurement devices, speed measurement devices, and current measurement devices. In its simplest form, the sensor acts as an analog transducer, directly returning a voltage. Under a known magnetic field, its distance from the Hall disk can be set. Using multiple sets of sensors, the relevant position of a magnet can be inferred. A current flowing through a conductor generates a magnetic field that varies with the current, and a Hall effect sensor can measure the current without interfering with it, typically integrated with a winding core or a permanent magnet next to the conductor being measured. Hall effect sensors are connected to circuits, allowing devices to operate in a digital (on / off) mode, in which case they can be referred to as switches. Common industrial devices, such as cylinders, are also used in everyday equipment. The Hall voltage varies with the magnetic field strength; the stronger the magnetic field, the higher the voltage, and the weaker the magnetic field, the lower the voltage. Hall voltage values ​​are very small, typically only a few millivolts, but when amplified by an amplifier in an integrated circuit, the voltage can be increased to a level sufficient to output a strong signal.

[0040] In this application, the electronic device can be a tablet, mobile phone, computer, or other device with a processing unit, or it can be an electronic computing device with a PCB. It can also be an optional unit with communication functions, camera functions, etc.

[0041] In this application, as Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a limiting structure, including a drive module 10 that drives a driven module 20. The driven module has a first magnet 201 mounted on it. A control circuit, including a first Hall sensor 301, is also included. The first Hall sensor detects the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and stops the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux exceeds a first preset value. The drive module 10 only needs to provide power to drive the driven module 20; it can be a transmission unit or an active power-generating unit such as a motor assembly. The driven module 20 can be driven by force to perform horizontal, vertical, circular, or linear motion. The first magnet 201, mounted on the driven module 20, moves in the same direction as the driven module 20. The first Hall sensor 301 can be positioned along a preset path of the first magnet 201. When the first magnet 201 approaches, it senses that the driven module 20 is approaching a preset position, thus stopping the drive module 10. For example… Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, when the driven module 20 rotates clockwise, the first magnet 201 approaches the first Hall sensor 301, thereby triggering a control circuit to stop the drive module 10. This configuration enables the first Hall sensor 301 when the first magnet 201 approaches it, and by setting a first preset value, the drive module 10 can be stopped promptly. This solution uses magnetic flux detection to stop the drive module 10's power in a timely manner, and the Hall sensor also avoids the problem of noise. Therefore, this solution offers superior practical performance.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 2 As shown, the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 is higher than a third preset value. The second Hall sensor 302 can be set on a preset path of the first magnet 201, or it can be set at another limiting position, for example, the first Hall sensor 301 can be set on the left and the second Hall sensor 302 can be set on the right; by using two Hall sensors, a bidirectional limiting effect can be achieved.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 Furthermore, a second magnet 202 is provided on the driven module 20; the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 is higher than a second preset value. The second Hall sensor 302 can be set on a preset path 3 of the second magnet 202. The first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302 can be set at different limit positions, for example, the first Hall sensor 301 can be set on the left and the second Hall sensor 302 can be set on the right. By using two Hall sensors, a bidirectional limit effect can be achieved. Designing two Hall sensors to detect two magnets is also more convenient and can respond at multiple detection points.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is greater than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. In this configuration, the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302 are positioned between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202. Thus, when the driven module 20 shifts or moves towards the first magnet 201, the second Hall sensor 302 will detect that the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 is greater than a threshold, thereby controlling the drive module 10 to stop working. The reverse is also true, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, another operating mode is provided, wherein the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is smaller than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. In this configuration, the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 are positioned between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. Thus, when the driven module 20 shifts or moves towards the first magnet 201, the first Hall sensor 301 detects that the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 exceeds a threshold, thereby controlling the drive module 10 to stop working. The reverse is also true, and will not be elaborated further here. All of the above operating modes can achieve the technical effect of controlling the movement of the driven module 20 through the response of the Hall element.

[0046] As mentioned above, the drive module 10 can be a powertrain or a transmission mechanism. In some embodiments, the drive module 10 and the driven module 20 are connected via a pulley. The drive module 10 drives the pulley to rotate, and the driven module 20 is connected to the pulley and follows its movement. In other embodiments, the drive module 10 includes a driving wheel, and the driven module 20 includes a driven wheel. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are coupled; the coupling can be achieved through frictional rotation or through gear teeth. The driven wheel is provided with a first magnet 201 and a second magnet 202. For example, the driven module 20 is a driven wheel, which can be configured as a driven wheel with a length of π / 3 arc, depending on actual needs. The driven wheel is provided with a first magnet 201 and a second magnet 202, with a distance of 30° between them. A first Hall sensor 301 and a second Hall sensor 302 are fixed to the side of the driven wheel, with a distance of 90° between them. In this way, the theoretical range of motion of the driven wheel is 60°, which can achieve the technical effect of limiting movement.

[0047] The first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302 only need to be fixedly installed. In some embodiments, the control circuit can be set as a control circuit board 30, which is arranged parallel to the driven wheel. The first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302 are installed on the control circuit board 30. The above arrangement can integrate the various components of the limiting structure, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the size.

[0048] To better utilize the function of the limiting structure, in situations such as Figure 1 and Figure 4In the illustrated technical solution, an electronic device 40 base includes: a drive module 10 for driving a driven module 20, the driven module 20 having a first magnet 201 disposed thereon, and the driven module 20 further including a support member 204 for supporting the electronic device 40; a control circuit including a first Hall sensor 301 for identifying the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201, and stopping the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 exceeds a first preset value; and a housing 1 that encloses the drive module 10, the driven module 20, and the control circuit. The drive module 10 only needs to provide power to drive the driven module 20, and can be a transmission unit or an active power-generating unit such as a motor assembly. The driven module 20 can be driven by force to perform horizontal movement, vertical movement, circular movement, linear movement, etc. The first magnet 201 moves in the same direction as the driven module 20 by being mounted on the driven module 20. The first Hall sensor 301 can be mounted on a preset path of the first magnet 201. When the first magnet 201 approaches, it can sense that the driven module 20 is approaching a preset position, thereby stopping the drive module 10 from being enabled. The shape of the housing 1 is not particularly required; it only needs to be a stable shape, such as a wide bottom and a relatively small top, to lower the center of gravity of the housing 1 and improve stability. The housing 1 can accommodate other components, and the upper part of the housing 1 can be provided with a constriction, through which the support member 204 can extend. The support member 204 is used to support the electronic device 40, but this does not preclude the support member 204 from having other functions besides support. For example, the upper end of the support member 204 can also be provided with a clamping component, or the support member 204 can also be provided with an electronic interface, etc., all of which can improve the stability of the connection with the electronic device 40. The orientation of the electronic device 40 is adjusted by the driven module 20 in conjunction with the support member 204. When the first magnet 201 approaches the first Hall sensor 301, the first Hall sensor 301 is enabled. By setting a first preset value, the drive module 10 can be stopped in time. This solution uses magnetic flux detection to stop the power of the drive module 10 in time. At the same time, the Hall sensor also avoids the problem of noise, making the support components of the electronic device 40 operate more smoothly.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, a second magnet 202 is provided on the driven module 20; the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 is higher than a second preset value. Designing two Hall sensors to detect two magnets also makes detection more convenient and allows for responses at multiple detection points.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is greater than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302, or the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is less than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. Both of these operating modes can achieve the technical effect of controlling the movement of the slave module 20 through the response of the Hall element.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 is higher than a third preset value. For example, the first magnet 201 is positioned between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. If the central angle between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302 is set to 60°, then the rotation angle limit of the driven module 20 is also 60°.

[0052] In some further embodiments, a transition shaft 203 is included, with both ends of the transition shaft 203 fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the transition shaft 203 is horizontally arranged. A driven wheel is sleeved on the transition shaft 203, and the driven wheel is also connected to the support member 204. The driving wheel is used to drive the driven wheel and the support member 204 to rotate about the transition shaft 203 as the axis. By using the transition shaft 203 as the axis, the horizontal rotation of the driven wheel can be simultaneously converted into the horizontal rotation of the support member 204.

[0053] In other embodiments, the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 is higher than a third preset value. Detecting the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 using both the second Hall sensor 302 and the first Hall sensor 301 achieves a bidirectional limiting effect.

[0054] In other embodiments, the base of this solution may also include a horizontal rotation device, such as a horizontal drive mechanism and a horizontal driven mechanism in the horizontal direction, or a ball joint. The horizontal rotation device can be designed with reference to the prior art and can be controlled by a control circuit.

[0055] In order for the electronic device 40 to control the operation of the base's drive module 10, thereby enabling the electronic device 40 to adjust its orientation, this solution will also introduce an intelligent electronic device base, such as... Figure 5As shown, the device includes: a housing 1, within which is disposed: a communication module 50, which is used to communicate with an electronic device 40 and receive a first command sent by the electronic device 40 to the communication module 50; and a processing unit 51, which is electrically connected to the communication module 50 and is used to receive the first command. The processing unit 51 is also controlled by a drive module 10, which is used to drive a driven module 20. The driven module 20 also includes a support member 204 for supporting the electronic device 40. The processing unit 51 is also used to control the operation of the drive module 10 according to the first command. The drive module 10 only needs to provide power to drive the driven module 20; it can be a transmission unit or an active power-generating unit such as a motor assembly. In a specific application example, after the electronic device 40 communicates with the communication module 50, it can send a first command to the base. The first command may include information about the required angle of rotation for the electronic device 40. After processing by the processing unit 51, the drive module 10 can be controlled to control the signal, thereby adjusting the orientation of the electronic device 40. The base used to support the smart electronic device 40 allows the orientation of the electronic device 40 to be adjusted via the driven module 20 in conjunction with the support component 204. Furthermore, the drive module 10 is stopped promptly by receiving instructions from the electronic device 40. This solution addresses the technical problem of the electronic device 40's inability to adjust its orientation by interacting with it.

[0056] The electronic device 40 can be fixedly designed with the support member 204, achieving the same technical effect of controlling and adjusting its angle. In other embodiments, to improve the applicability of this solution, the electronic device 40 and the support member 204 are designed to be separable. For example, the electronic device 40 can be designed as a portable computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc.

[0057] In one embodiment of this application, the electronic device 40 is further configured to receive a second instruction input from an external source, and the electronic device 40 generates the first instruction based on the second instruction. For example, if the electronic device 40 has a button, joystick, or virtual button, and the angle adjustment operation of the button, joystick, or virtual button is a user operation, then the electronic device 40 can receive the second instruction information via the button, joystick, or virtual button, and generate the first instruction accordingly. For example, if the joystick is operated and points to the left, then the second instruction is "to the left," and the corresponding first instruction is generated based on the second instruction. In other embodiments, the second instruction is transmitted from other networked devices or input from the cloud. The electronic device 40 can generate the first instruction based on the second instruction to control the base. The above solution enriches the sources of execution instructions, making this solution adaptable to more applications.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, the driving module 10 drives the driven module 20, which is provided with a first magnet 201. The driven module 20 also includes a support member 204 for supporting the electronic device 40. The processing unit 51 further includes a control circuit, which includes a first Hall sensor 301. The first Hall sensor 301 is used to identify the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and stops the driving module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 is higher than a first preset value. This solution allows the electronic device 40 to conveniently stop the rotation of the support member 204 at any time.

[0059] In other embodiments, to enrich the angle adjustment methods of the driven module 20, a second magnet 202 can be provided on the driven module 20; the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 and stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 is higher than a second preset value. Alternatively, the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is greater than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302. Alternatively, the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is less than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302.

[0060] In one embodiment of this application, when the drive module 10 is stopped, the processing unit 51 sends first preset information to the electronic device 40, and the electronic device 40 stops sending the first instruction upon receiving the first preset information. The first preset information can be a stop code, allowing the electronic device 40 to stop operation promptly. In other embodiments, the first preset information can be a warning message indicating that the rotation has exceeded its limit. Upon receiving this message, the electronic device 40 can display a text message such as "Maximum angle reached." This allows users to easily understand the real-time situation, improving the practicality of this solution.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the processing unit 51 is further configured to pair with the first electronic device 40, the first instruction further including a device ID, and the processing unit 51 only responds to instructions from the first electronic device 40. By designing the device ID as the packet header, the base's anti-interference capability for information can be improved.

[0062] Others such as Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, a control method for an electronic device base is also described, applicable to the aforementioned electronic device base. The electronic device base includes: a housing 1, wherein the housing 1 is provided with: a communication module 50, the communication module 50 being used for communication connection with an electronic device 40; and a processing unit 51, the processing unit 51 being electrically connected to the communication module 50 and controllably connected to a drive module 10, the drive module 10 being used to drive a driven module 20 to operate, and the driven module 20 further including a support member 204, the support member 204 being used to support the electronic device 40.

[0063] The method includes the following steps:

[0064] S600 The electronic device 40 is paired with the electronic device base;

[0065] S601 The electronic device 40 sends a first instruction to the communication module 50;

[0066] S602 The processing unit 51 receives the first instruction.

[0067] The processing unit 51 in S603 controls the operation of the drive module 10 according to the first instruction.

[0068] This solution adjusts the orientation of the electronic device 40 by interacting with the base and adjusting the driven module 20 in conjunction with the support component 204. Furthermore, by receiving commands from the electronic device 40, the drive module 10 is stopped in a timely manner, enabling interaction between the intelligent electronic devices 40 to adjust their orientation and resolving the technical problem of the electronic device 40 being unable to adjust its orientation.

[0069] To improve the automation level of the electronic device 40, the electronic device 40 includes an image input unit and an image processing unit. The method can continue to perform the following steps after step S603:

[0070] The image input unit in S604 acquires the first image information, the image processing unit analyzes the human figure position information in the first image information, calculates the angle change value that needs to be adjusted to move the human figure to the center of the screen, and the electronic device 40 generates the first instruction according to the angle change value that needs to be adjusted.

[0071] In some situations, the aforementioned interactive control method can be used to facilitate individuals with disabilities or partial disabilities. For example, some hospitalized bedridden patients are unable to adjust the angle of the electronic device 40 at the foot of their bed, or cannot use some of the electronic device 40's functions, such as video calling. When these functions are activated, the electronic device 40 directly analyzes the human image and calculates the change in viewing angle. This allows individuals with disabilities or partial disabilities to automatically adjust the orientation of the electronic device 40 via its base without touching it, ensuring the human image is correctly displayed in the center. Simultaneously, the patient can naturally see the screen of the electronic device 40 correctly from the front. This method improves the applicability to specific populations.

[0072] To improve the automation level of the equipment, the electronic device 40 includes a pose sensing unit, and the method further includes the following steps:

[0073] The pose sensing unit acquires the current pose state information of the electronic device 40.

[0074] The electronic device 40 calculates the required attitude change value based on the current pose state information.

[0075] The electronic device 40 generates the first instruction based on the required adjustment of the viewing angle change value.

[0076] In this step, the electronic device 40 calculates the required posture change value based on the current pose state information. This can be determined by storing a default pose adjustment target value in the electronic device 40, receiving the pose adjustment target value from a server or the cloud, generating the target value by recording user habits, or having the user set the pose adjustment target value themselves. Through these methods, the technical effect of contactless automatic posture adjustment can be achieved.

[0077] In one embodiment of this application, the electronic device 40 is further configured to receive a second instruction input from an external source, and the electronic device 40 generates the first instruction based on the second instruction.

[0078] In one embodiment of this application, the first instruction further includes a device ID, and the processing unit 51 only responds to the instruction corresponding to the paired device ID.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, the driving module 10 is used to drive the driven module 20. The driven module 20 is provided with a first magnet 201. The processing unit 51 further includes a control circuit. The control circuit includes a first Hall sensor 301. The first Hall sensor 301 is used to identify the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 and to stop the driving module 10 when the magnetic flux of the first magnet 201 is higher than a first preset value.

[0080] In one embodiment of this application, a second magnet 202 is provided on the driven module 20; the control circuit includes a second Hall sensor 302, which is used to identify the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 and to stop the drive module 10 when the magnetic flux of the second magnet 202 is higher than a second preset value.

[0081] In one embodiment of this application, the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is greater than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302, or the distance between the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 is less than the distance between the first Hall sensor 301 and the second Hall sensor 302.

[0082] In one embodiment of this application, when the driving module 10 is stopped, the processing unit 51 sends first preset information to the electronic device 40, and the electronic device 40 stops sending the first instruction when it receives the first preset information.

[0083] In the technical solution of this application, the communication module 50 can be a WiFi communication module 50, a 4G communication module 50, a 5G communication module 50, etc., or it can be a short-range communication module 50 such as a LoRa communication module 50 or a Bluetooth communication module 50. The advantage of choosing a Bluetooth communication module 50 is its high popularity, support for many devices, and strong practicality.

[0084] In some other further embodiments, please see here. Figure 7 The inventors have also implemented a cloud-based control method for the elderly care base, which can run on a cloud server and may include the following steps:

[0085] S700 The electronic device 40 is paired with the electronic device base to establish a first pairing relationship;

[0086] The electronic device uploads the first pairing relationship to the cloud server;

[0087] S701 The electronic device 40 reports its own pose status to the cloud server or uploads image data from the image input unit to the cloud server.

[0088] The S702 cloud server generates third commands based on the electronic device's own pose or by analyzing image data from the uploaded image input unit.

[0089] The S703 cloud server sends the third instruction to the base, specifically to the base's communication module, and then the processing unit 51 controls the operation of the drive module 10 according to the third instruction.

[0090] In the above solutions, the initial pairing relationship can be a wireless connection or a physical connection, such as a data cable connection, or an existing connection method like a contact switch or wireless charger inductive connection. It can also connect electronic devices by setting up a Lightning interface or Type-C interface on the base / support. In some cases, direct data interaction between the electronic device and the base is not supported. The above solutions can further control the base to change the XY axis precession to change the orientation of the electronic device through a cloud server.

[0091] In some specific embodiments, the cloud server can further perform the following steps: calculate the required posture change value based on the current pose state information of the electronic device 40; and generate the third instruction based on the required viewpoint change value. The cloud server can determine this by storing a default pose adjustment target value, or by recording user habits or by having the user set the target value, to calculate the required posture change value and thus generate the third instruction.

[0092] In other specific implementations, the electronic device uploads image data from the image input unit to a cloud server. The cloud server can be equipped with a cloud image processing unit, which can be configured with a trained neural network module to recognize the position of a person in the image and / or the orientation of a face in the image. Based on the recognition results of the cloud image processing unit, the required posture change value is calculated, thereby generating a third instruction. This approach reduces the computational burden on the electronic device, requiring only that the device can access the cloud server remotely, such as through a carrier network, and that its camera is functional. It does not require the electronic device to have a built-in neural network module or a sufficiently powerful computing chip. This design significantly enhances the applicability of this solution.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, the cloud server can be a large workstation, a server, or a relay site with edge computing capabilities, such as a distributed edge computing device set up in a hospital, sanatorium, or other similar location.
