Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic communication, and particularly to a book-shaped flexible folding screen mobile phone that is easy to hold, multifunctional, and high-performance. Background Art

[0002] Currently, mobile phones are developing towards thinner bodies and larger screens. Although they are beautiful, the flat mobile phones have their functions greatly reduced due to the lack of sufficient space to install high-performance hardware, such as battery life, heat dissipation, camera, audio, etc. performance; also, due to the small hand-held stress area of the flat mobile phone, it is easy to slip from the hand and cause damage; with a mobile phone case, it is inconvenient to use; due to the limitation of the hand-held width, the screen ratio does not meet the visual requirements; it cannot be independent of the desktop and connect to a bracket to free the hands.

[0003] To achieve a larger display area while ensuring portability, there are flexible folding screen mobile phones. Although flexible folding screen mobile phones meet the visual needs and novel deformation functions, they also develop towards flat shapes and have the same disadvantages of poor hand-held, battery life, camera, etc. performance. Currently, the folding screen mobile phones on the market face many problems: creases, easy screen damage, poor durability, etc.; flexible folding screen mobile phones are generally divided into two forms: inner folding and outer folding, that is, the screen folding is inside and outside the mobile phone; both folding methods are folded in half at 180 degrees. Although inner folding can avoid damage such as external extrusion, friction, and bumping, due to the small folding arc, there will be creases on the flexible screen, and the mobile phone that meets the folding arc requirements of the flexible screen will be very thick; although outer folding meets the folding arc requirements of the flexible screen, the exposed flexible screen is easily damaged and requires inconvenient protection configurations such as a protective bag. In addition, frequent touching of the flexible screen is also easy to leave scratches. Also, the battery is set under the screen, resulting in a heavy folding screen, increasing the design difficulty and production cost of the folding hinge. The flexible folding screen mobile phone that meets the large screen requirements is very wide even in the folded state, resulting in a poor holding feeling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a book-shaped flexible folding screen mobile phone with an ergonomic hand-held design, easy to hold by hand, multifunctional, and high-performance.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The book-shaped flexible folding screen mobile phone consists of a main body and a flexible folding screen. The main body is a polygonal column. The main body and the flexible folding screen are connected by a damping hinge. The flexible folding screen curls and folds around the main body. The flexible folding screen includes a flexible display screen, a support plate, and a connecting hinge. The support plates are connected by the connecting hinge, and the flexible display screen is attached and supported by the support plate and the connecting hinge.

[0007] Preferably, the main body is a hexagonal prism, including a top surface, a bottom surface and a columnar surface. The top surface of the main body is provided with a microphone and a flashlight. The bottom surface is provided with a tripod thread interface, an audio-video input / output port, a charging port, a mobile phone card slot and a memory card slot.

[0008] Preferably, the columnar surface includes a first columnar surface, a second columnar surface, a third columnar surface, a fourth columnar surface, a fifth columnar surface and a sixth columnar surface. Among them, the first columnar surface is a plane, provided with a first rigid display screen, a microphone, a mobile phone switch, a volume key and a mobile phone earpiece hole. On both sides of the left and right of the first columnar surface, there are respectively a main body end switch for opening and closing the flexible folding screen and a damping hinge for connecting the flexible folding screen; the second columnar surface is a plane, provided with an optical zoom camera, a macro camera, a wide-angle camera, a flash, a fill light, a microphone and a second rigid display screen; between the second columnar surface and the fourth columnar surface is the third columnar surface, and the third columnar surface is an arc surface; the fourth columnar surface is a plane, provided with left and right stereo smart speakers; between the fourth columnar surface and the sixth columnar surface is the fifth columnar surface, and the fifth columnar surface is an arc surface, provided with a camera; the sixth columnar surface is provided with a third rigid display screen; the second columnar surface, the fourth columnar surface and the sixth columnar surface respectively correspond to the three support plates of the flexible folding screen, and the third columnar surface and the fifth columnar surface respectively correspond to the two connecting hinges of the flexible folding screen.

[0009] Preferably, the flexible folding screen further includes a flexible folding screen end switch. The flexible display screen is a plastic composite body, the display surface layer is made of plastic material, and the bottom layer is made of rubber material. The flexible folding screen end switch and the main body end switch perform the opening and closing work of the flexible folding screen.

[0010] During the opening and closing process of the mobile phone folding screen, four interactive interface modes are formed: a columnar mobile phone mode, a first-level combination mode, a second-level combination mode and a third-level combination mode, and freely switch between different interactive interfaces.

[0011] The columnar mobile phone mode means that the main body and the flexible folding screen are closed, and the mobile phone is in a fully folded state. The first rigid display screen on the first columnar surface of the main body performs the operations of an ordinary smart phone, combines with the microphone to form a wireless microphone with sound effect function, and forms a traditional lighting device with the flashlight. The flashlight can extend the projection function to become a mobile phone projector.

[0012] The first-level combination mode is to open the flexible folding screen to form a vertical state with the first columnar surface of the main body. At this time, the exposed part of the flexible display screen is displayed, and the main touch operation is on the second rigid display screen on the second columnar surface of the main body. It combines with the camera and the sound effect microphone to turn on the large-screen mobile phone mode. In this mode, the self-timer performance is enhanced, and an integrated self-media audio-visual integrated platform is integrated.

[0013] The secondary combination mode means that after the flexible folding screen is flattened again, the flexible display screen is fully displayed at this time. The opening and closing angle θ between the flexible display screen and the sixth cylinder of the host is any angle within the range of less than 180 degrees. When placed horizontally on the desktop, in this combination mode, the third rigid display screen on the sixth cylinder is mainly responsible for the touch operation of the movie menu. The left and right stereo smart speakers are provided on the fourth cylinder to improve the sound effect performance and voice control audio and video playback function. The host serves as a viewing base in this mode, and a camera is provided on the fifth cylinder. This combination mode is suitable for use as a home theater and a desktop video conference.

[0014] The tertiary combination mode means that the flexible folding screen is fully unfolded, and the opening and closing angle θ between the flexible display screen and the sixth cylinder of the host is 180 degrees. In this mode, the flexible display screen and the third rigid display screen on the sixth cylinder form a larger display area, form a high-performance camera with the camera combination on the second cylinder of the host, and achieve mirror intelligent shooting with the second rigid display screen on the second cylinder. This combination mode is suitable for use as a high-performance camera, a game console, an e-book reader, and a stock machine. The touch operations of shooting, gaming, stock trading, and reading are mainly performed on the third rigid display screen of the cylinder.
