[0048] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a direction detection method according to an exemplary embodiment, the method is applied to an electronic device with a flexible screen, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0050] Step S101, acquiring detection data obtained by a direction sensor of an electronic device;

[0051] Step S102: obtaining the current posture of the flexible screen of the electronic device;

[0052] Step S103: Correct the detection data according to the compensation parameters corresponding to the current posture to obtain the direction parameters.

[0053] In the disclosed embodiments, the electronic device performs direction detection to obtain a direction parameter. The direction parameter may be the relative angle between the direction of use of the electronic device and the direction of the earth's magnetic field, which is applied to functions such as mapping, positioning, and navigation. It may also be a direct indication of the north-south direction of the earth, such as a compass or other application.

[0054] The direction sensor of an electronic device can be a sensor based on magnetic induction or electromagnetic wave induction. For example, a magnetic field induction sensor can be used to detect the earth's magnetic field to achieve the effect of detecting direction, that is, an electronic compass, etc.; it can also be a sensor that detects direction based on positioning based on electromagnetic waves received from satellites.

[0055] Since there are a large number of circuits and electronic components inside electronic devices, these circuits and electronic components may generate electromagnetic fields during use, thereby interfering with the direction detection data obtained by the direction sensor. Therefore, for the data detected by the direction sensor, certain parameter compensation is required to correct the detection data and obtain accurate direction parameters.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the flexible screen may include: a display screen that can be bent to form an arc surface, and a foldable display screen, etc. An electronic device with a flexible screen can be bent at a specified position or as a whole to form an arc or folded to form a certain angle, thereby changing the form of the electronic device.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, the electronic device with a foldable screen may have at least two parts that can move relative to each other, and each of them carries a display screen on one side, and the connection is foldable. Therefore, the electronic device with a foldable screen can have different usage postures, for example, unfolding the foldable screen so that the two parts of the electronic device are in a 180-degree state; closing the screen so that the two parts of the electronic device overlap; and opening the foldable screen to a certain angle, etc.

[0058] It is understandable that in different postures, the relative positions of the two parts of the electronic device that carry the folding screen and can be folded relative to each other will change. Therefore, the interference of the circuits and electronic components in these two parts to the direction sensor will also change. In other words, in different postures of the electronic device, the deviation of the detection data of the direction sensor of the electronic device is also different. Therefore, in this case, compensating the detection data of the direction sensor by fixed compensation parameters cannot meet the different usage postures of the electronic device.

[0059] Therefore, in the disclosed embodiment, the current posture of the flexible screen is obtained, and then the detection data is corrected according to the compensation parameters corresponding to the current posture, and finally the direction parameters are obtained. The current posture of the flexible screen can be detected by devices such as a gyroscope, an acceleration sensor or a Hall sensor. Different compensation parameters can be preset for different postures, such as unfolding the flexible screen, closing the flexible screen, or unfolding the flexible screen to a certain angle range. The preset process can be completed through experiments before the electronic device leaves the factory, using a precise direction sensor as reference data, and experimenting with the deviation of the direction sensor detection data of the electronic device under different postures, so as to obtain the corresponding compensation parameters.

[0060] Through the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, for an electronic device with a flexible screen, the detection data of the direction sensor is corrected based on the folding posture, which can reduce the interference of the magnetic field generated by the circuits and components inside the electronic device in the detected direction parameters, and for different folding postures, corresponding compensation parameters are used for correction, thereby improving the accuracy of direction detection in various postures.

[0061] In some embodiments, the current posture in the above step S102 includes: bending parameters of the flexible screen; Figure 2 As shown, the method also includes:

[0062] Step S201: Determine a compensation parameter corresponding to the current posture according to a preset angle range to which the bending parameter belongs.

[0063] The bending parameters may include: folding angle. For example, for the posture of the foldable screen, it may be different folding angles. For some electronic devices with foldable screens, the folding angle may vary between 0 and 180 degrees; some may even be able to rotate between 0 and 360 degrees. For different preset angle ranges, different compensation parameters may be preset, for example, different compensation parameters may be set in the ranges of 0 to 45 degrees, 45 to 90 degrees, 90 to 180 degrees, etc.

[0064] The above bending parameters may also include: bending shape, which is used to represent the posture of the electronic device with a movable flexible screen. The bending shape may be the curvature of the curved surface formed by the pure flexible screen, or the bending position, etc. It may also be the folding position of the foldable screen, the number of folding layers, such as two-layer folding, or multiple-layer folding, etc.

[0065] In this way, after detecting the bending parameter of the flexible screen, the preset angle range to which the bending parameter belongs can be determined. For example, if the bending parameter of the flexible screen is detected to be 30 degrees, which belongs to the range of 0 to 45 degrees, the compensation parameter corresponding to the range of 0 to 45 degrees is called to compensate the detection data of the direction sensor.

[0066] In some embodiments, obtaining the current posture of the flexible screen of the electronic device includes:

[0067] The bending parameters are obtained based on the posture parameters detected by the posture sensor.

[0068] Here, the attitude sensor can be any sensor used in the electronic device to detect the flexible screen, including: optical sensors, electrical sensors, and magnetic sensors, etc. For example: gyroscopes and acceleration sensors, etc., can be respectively provided with a gyroscope or an acceleration sensor in the two foldable parts of the electronic device to detect the orientation of the part, for example, the screen of one part is in the vertical direction, and the screen of the other part is in the horizontal direction, then the attitude of the flexible screen of the electronic device is unfolded 90 degrees.

[0069] Another example: The Hall sensor detects the angle between the two parts of the electronic device based on the change in the magnetic field between the two parts, thereby determining the posture of the electronic device, that is, determining the bending parameters of the above-mentioned flexible screen.

[0070] In some embodiments, the detection data is corrected according to the compensation parameters corresponding to the current posture to obtain the direction parameters, including:

[0071] According to the compensation parameters corresponding to the current posture, at least two directional components of the detection data in the first coordinate system are corrected to obtain first component parameters on at least two directional coordinate axes of the first coordinate system; wherein the first coordinate system is a coordinate system of the direction sensor;

[0072] Based on the at least two first component parameters, a direction parameter is determined.

[0073] Here, the first coordinate system may be the coordinate system of the direction sensor, which serves as a reference for the direction sensor to detect data. The first coordinate system may be a Cartesian coordinate system, including: a rectangular coordinate system or an oblique coordinate system. If only the direction of a plane needs to be detected, the first coordinate system may only include coordinate axes in two directions, for example, an x-axis and a y-axis located in the same plane; if a three-dimensional direction needs to be detected, the first coordinate system may include coordinate axes in three directions, and the direction of the third coordinate axis is perpendicular to the plane where the other two coordinate axes are located, for example, a z-axis perpendicular to the plane where the x-axis and the y-axis are located. The origin of the first coordinate system may be any point. To facilitate data processing, the origin may be located at the geometric center of the direction sensor or at the intersection of any two edges.

[0074] The direction detected by the direction sensor is the geographical direction related to the earth's magnetic field, such as the geographical south or north direction. Figure 3 As shown, when the direction sensor detects the direction N, the direction data can be represented as different components on at least two coordinate axes, namely Figure 3 In the figure, the x-axis component x1, the y-axis component y1 and the z-axis component z1 reflect the direction of true north in the coordinate system, thereby converting the geographic direction into direction data relative to the coordinate system of the direction sensor, which facilitates the processing of the detection data by the electronic device.

[0075] After obtaining the detection data of at least two directional components, compensation is performed according to the compensation parameters corresponding to each directional component. If the first coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system with three axes, the compensation parameter can be a three-by-three matrix, which is multiplied by the three directional components of the detection data to obtain the corrected component parameters of each direction. According to the component parameters in each direction, the directional parameters of the final detection direction in the three-dimensional space can be obtained.

[0076] In some embodiments, based on at least two first component parameters, including:

[0077] Determine at least two second component parameters in the second coordinate system according to the at least two first component parameters and a preset mapping relationship between the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system; wherein the second coordinate system is a coordinate system of the electronic device, and coordinate axes of the second coordinate system are orthogonal to each other;

[0078] Determine the offset angle of the direction vector corresponding to the detection data relative to each coordinate axis according to the arc tangent value of the ratio of each two second component parameters;

[0079] According to each offset angle, the direction parameter is determined.

[0080] After the calibration is completed, the component parameters of at least two directions are obtained. Since the first coordinate system is the coordinate system of the direction sensor, and in actual use, the direction of the electronic device may have an angle deviation from the first coordinate system. The coordinate system of the electronic device is the second coordinate system. The second coordinate system is a coordinate system set based on the physical form of the electronic device. For ease of use, the edge direction of the electronic device can be used as the coordinate axis direction of the second coordinate system, and the geometric center of the electronic device or the intersection of any two edges can be used as the origin of the second coordinate system.

[0081] In order to display the direction parameters for easy use on the electronic device, at least two direction parameters in the first coordinate system need to be mapped to the second coordinate system. Since the positional relationship between the electronic device and the direction sensor is fixed, the mapping relationship between the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system can be determined before the electronic device leaves the factory, so as to facilitate direct coordinate conversion when in use.

[0082] After obtaining the converted direction parameters, the ratio of the component parameters of each two directions is taken, which is the tangent value of the angle of the direction parameter on the plane where the coordinate axes of the two directions are located. Therefore, the actual deviation angle can be obtained by calculating the inverse tangent value, thereby determining the final direction parameter.

[0083] For example, suppose Figure 3 The coordinate system shown is the second coordinate system mentioned above. The components of the direction data N detected on the three coordinate axes are x1, y1 and z1 respectively. The angles between the detected direction and the three coordinate axes are α, β and γ respectively. The inverse tangent value is calculated according to the ratio of the component parameters of each two directions on each coordinate axis, as shown in the following formula 1:

[0084]

[0085] In the above formula, the calculated angle is a radian value. If the angle value is needed, the radian value can be divided by π and then multiplied by 180 degrees to convert it into an angle value.

[0086] The present disclosure also provides the following examples:

[0087] Electronic devices are equipped with electronic compasses for detecting directions. The electronic compasses are based on the principle of magnetic field induction, detecting the earth's magnetic field to detect directions. However, there are a large number of circuits, electronic components, and magnetic components inside electronic devices, which will interfere with the direction detection of the electronic compass. Therefore, when the electronic compass detects the direction, it is necessary to use compensation parameters to correct the detected data in order to obtain the actual direction parameters.

[0088] If the relative positions of various electromagnetic components inside the electronic device and the electronic compass are fixed, and the strength of the interference electric field generated is also fixed, then a set of fixed compensation parameters can be used to calibrate the electronic compass. However, for electronic devices with flexible screens, there may be multiple postures during use, and in different postures, the interference caused by the circuits, electronic components, and magnetic components inside the electronic device to the electronic compass will also change.

[0089] For example, when the flexible screen of the electronic device is in the unfolded state, Figure 4 As shown, the direction sensor 10 (such as an electronic compass) is located in the antenna clearance area 20 of the electronic device. According to the detection data of the direction sensor, the component ratio on at least two coordinate axes of the coordinate system of the direction sensor is determined, and the detected direction parameter is determined according to the arc tangent value of the ratio.

[0090] Since the antenna clearance area is close to the antenna and there are few circuits distributed nearby, there is almost no significant electromagnetic interference. In this case, since there is almost no magnetic field interference from external circuits, the inverse tangent of the ratio of the y-axis component to the x-axis component of the magnetic field vector of the earth's magnetic field projected on the horizontal plane of the mobile phone is the angle of deviation from the earth's true north. In other words, no correction is required at this time.

[0091] However, when the flexible screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the circuit inside the folded part of the electronic device will be close to the location of the electronic compass circuit, thereby generating electromagnetic interference to the electronic compass. In this case, the ratio of the detected y-axis component to the x-axis component is no longer the tangent value of the deviation angle, so the detection data needs to be compensated. In addition, as the bending parameters of the flexible screen change, such as Figure 6 As shown, the intensity of electromagnetic interference will also vary.

[0092] Therefore, the disclosed embodiment detects the posture of the flexible screen, that is, the folding angle, based on a+g (Accelerometer-sensor+Gyroscope) or magnetic detection of the folding screen state. Then, different compensation parameters are called according to different bending parameters. That is, based on the folding posture of the flexible screen of the electronic device, the data detected by the electronic compass is corrected.

[0093] Before the electronic device leaves the factory, the direction data detected by the electronic compass under different folding postures of the electronic device can be compared with the reference data provided by the standard direction detection instrument to obtain the deviation of the electronic compass detection data under different folding postures. In this way, the compensation parameters for correcting the deviation under different folding postures can be obtained. In practical applications, different bending parameter ranges can be set according to the accuracy requirements, and corresponding compensation parameters can be determined for each bending parameter range. For example, from the folded to the unfolded state, each 45 degrees corresponds to a set of compensation parameters, so there are 4 different sets of compensation parameters for the various postures on the front of the electronic device.

[0094] In addition, when the flexible screen of an electronic device is folded, for example, when using the secondary screen of a mobile phone, the folded part will cause greater interference to the electronic compass. Therefore, a set of compensation parameters can be determined separately, specifically for this folding posture.

[0095] Since the compass of the electronic device has a first coordinate system as a detection reference, a Cartesian coordinate system can be used. When the electronic compass is installed inside the electronic device, it usually deviates from the second coordinate system of the electronic device, such as the Google coordinate system. Therefore, it is also necessary to convert the data detected by the electronic compass from the first coordinate system to the second coordinate system, so that other applications of the electronic device can use the detection data provided by the electronic compass.
