Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technology, the functions of electronic devices are becoming more and more abundant, and users' requirements for the user experience of electronic devices are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] In the prior art, electronic devices are usually equipped with dual pressure sensors and dual motors, with one pressure sensor triggering one motor respectively, so that the electronic device has a multi-directional three-dimensional vibration effect, enhancing the user experience in scenarios such as games, making the user feel immersive.

[0004] However, in the process of studying the prior art, the inventors found that there may be situations where the motor or pressure sensor is damaged and fails. When the motor is damaged abnormally, its corresponding pressure sensor cannot trigger the motor vibration, and the vibration data is lost, while its corresponding pressure sensor and driver IC (Integrated Circuit) remain in working condition. When the pressure sensor is damaged, its corresponding motor and driver IC do not work and remain in a dormant state for a long time. In this way, the three-dimensional vibration effect of the electronic device is severely reduced, the user experience is reduced, hardware waste is caused, energy consumption is increased, and the battery life of the electronic device is reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide an electronic device that overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a first sensor, a second sensor, a first vibrator, a second vibrator, and a switch module;

[0008] The first sensor is electrically connected to the first vibrating member, the second sensor is electrically connected to the second vibrating member, and the switch module is electrically connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, the first vibrating member, and the second vibrating member respectively; wherein,

[0009] When the working state of the first sensor is abnormal, the switch module conducts the first vibrating element and the second sensor;

[0010] When the working state of the first vibrator is abnormal, the switch module conducts electricity between the first sensor and the second vibrator.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes: a first sensor, a second sensor, a first vibrator, a second vibrator, and a switch module. When the first sensor is operating abnormally, the switch module switches on the first vibrator and the second sensor, allowing the second sensor to simultaneously trigger the first and second vibrators. When the first vibrator is operating abnormally, the switch module switches on the first sensor and the second vibrator, allowing both the first and second sensors to generate vibration outputs to control the second vibrator. This prevents a situation where, after one of the vibrators is damaged, its corresponding pressure sensor is unable to trigger the vibration of the vibrator, resulting in loss of vibration data, while the corresponding pressure sensor and driver IC remain operational. It also prevents a situation where, after one of the pressure sensors is damaged, its corresponding vibrator and driver IC become inoperative and remain dormant for an extended period of time. This allows the electronic device to retain vibration data even after one of the vibrators fails, or maintain a three-dimensional vibration effect even after one of the pressure sensors fails abnormally. This avoids inefficient energy consumption, increases the battery life of the electronic device, avoids hardware waste, and improves the user experience.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 2 , shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, which may specifically include: a first sensor 10, a second sensor 20, a first vibrating element 30, a second vibrating element 40, and a switch module 50;

[0022] The first sensor 10 is electrically connected to the first vibrator 30, the second sensor 20 is electrically connected to the second vibrator 40, and the switch module 50 is electrically connected to the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrator 30, and the second vibrator 40 respectively; wherein,

[0023] When the working state of the first sensor 10 is abnormal, the switch module 50 conducts the first vibrating member 30 and the second sensor 20;

[0024] When the working state of the first vibrator 30 is abnormal, the switch module 50 conducts electricity between the first sensor 10 and the second vibrator 40 .

[0025] The electronic device of the present application includes: a first sensor 10, a second sensor 20, a first vibrating member 30, a second vibrating member 40, and a switch module 50; when the working state of the first sensor 10 is in an abnormal state, the switch module 50 conducts the first vibrating member 30 and the second sensor 20, so that the first vibrating member 30 in a normal state can be triggered to vibrate under the action of the second sensor 20, that is, the second sensor 20 can simultaneously trigger the first vibrating member 30 and the second vibrating member 40. Similarly, when the working state of the second sensor 20 is in an abnormal state, the switch module 50 conducts the second vibrating member 40 and the first sensor 10, so that the second vibrating member 40 in a normal state can be triggered to vibrate under the action of the first sensor 10, that is, the first sensor 10 can simultaneously trigger the first vibrating member 30 and the second vibrating member 40.

[0026] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 10 can be any one of the two sensors, and correspondingly, the second sensor 20 can be the other of the two sensors. The embodiment of the present application does not limit which of the two sensors is used as the first sensor 10 and the other as the second sensor 20.

[0027] When the working state of the first vibrating member 30 is abnormal, the switch module 50 conducts electricity between the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating member 40, so that the first sensor 10, which is in a normal state, can trigger the second vibrating member 40 to vibrate. In other words, both the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 can control the second vibrating member 40 and produce a vibration output. Similarly, when the working state of the second vibrating member 40 is abnormal, the switch module 50 conducts electricity between the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating member 30, so that the second sensor 20, which is in a normal state, can trigger the second vibrating member 40 to vibrate. In other words, both the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 can control the first vibrating member 30 and produce a vibration output.

[0028] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first vibrating member 30 can be any one of the two vibrating members, and correspondingly, the second vibrating member 40 can be the other of the two vibrating members. The embodiment of the present application does not limit which of the two vibrating members is used as the first vibrating member 30 and the other as the second vibrating member 40.

[0029] In this way, it is avoided that after one of the vibration parts is damaged abnormally, its corresponding sensor cannot trigger the vibration of the vibration part, and the vibration data is lost, while its corresponding sensor and driver IC (Integrated Circuit) still remain in working state. It is also avoided that after one of the sensors is damaged, its corresponding vibration part and driver IC do not work and remain in a dormant state for a long time. The electronic device still retains vibration data after one of the vibration parts fails, or still has a three-dimensional vibration effect after one of the sensors fails abnormally, avoiding ineffective energy consumption, increasing the battery life of the electronic device, avoiding hardware waste, and improving the user experience.

[0030] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 may include pressure sensors. In response to a user's click, touch, or slide operation on the electronic device, the first sensor 10 may convert the pressure sensing signal of the click, touch, or slide into an electrical signal, and transmit the electrical signal to the corresponding first vibrating member 30 via a trigger signal, thereby triggering the first vibrating member 30 to vibrate. Similarly, the second sensor 20 may convert the pressure sensing signal of the click, touch, or slide into an electrical signal, and transmit the electrical signal to the corresponding second vibrating member 40 via a trigger signal, thereby triggering the second vibrating member 40 to vibrate.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, for example, the first vibrating member 30 and the second vibrating member 40 may include a motor, an electric motor, an electric motor, etc., and the embodiment of the present application may not limit this. When the first vibrating member 30 receives a trigger signal from at least one of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30 will simulate the user's click, touch, slide and other operations on the electronic device to generate vibration, thereby enhancing the user's experience in gaming and other scenarios. Similarly, when the second vibrating member 40 receives a trigger signal from at least one of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20, the second vibrating member 40 will simulate the user's click, touch, slide and other operations on the electronic device to generate vibration, thereby further enhancing the user's experience in gaming and other scenarios.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, specifically, the switch module 50 may include at least one of a MOS switch (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and a single-pole double-throw switch to achieve on-off control between the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating element 30, and the second vibrating element 40.

[0033] For example, when the switch module 50 is a MOS transistor, the MOS transistor includes a gate, a source, and a drain. The gate is electrically connected to the controller 60 to control the conduction between the source and the drain. The source is electrically connected to one of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20, and the drain is electrically connected to one of the first vibrating member 30 and the second vibrating member 40. When the operation state of the first sensor 10 is abnormal, when the absolute value of the voltage difference between the gate and the source is greater than a preset voltage threshold, the source connected to the second sensor 20 is conductively connected to the drain connected to the first vibrating member 30, thereby achieving conduction between the first vibrating member 30 and the second sensor 20. Similarly, when the operation state of the second sensor 20 is abnormal, when the absolute value of the voltage difference between the gate and the source is greater than a preset voltage threshold, the source connected to the first sensor 10 is conductively connected to the drain connected to the second vibrating member 40, thereby achieving conduction between the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating member 40.

[0034] If the operation state of the first vibrating element 30 is abnormal, and the absolute value of the voltage difference between the gate and the source is greater than a preset voltage threshold, the source connected to the first sensor 10 and the drain connected to the second vibrating element 40 are electrically connected, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating element 40. Similarly, if the operation state of the second vibrating element 40 is abnormal, and the absolute value of the voltage difference between the gate and the source is greater than a preset voltage threshold, the source connected to the second sensor 20 and the drain connected to the first vibrating element 30 are electrically connected, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating element 30.

[0035] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when the working states of the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30, and the second vibrating member 40 are all normal, the switch module 50 is in the disconnected state, so that the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30, and the second vibrating member 40 maintain their normal working states.

[0036] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the electronic device further includes a controller 60. The controller 60 is electrically connected to the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30, the second vibrating member 40, and the switch module 50, respectively. The controller 60 is configured to obtain the operating status of the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30, and the second vibrating member 40, and control the on / off switching of the switch module 50 based on the operating status. Based on the operating status of the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrating member 30, and the second vibrating member 40 obtained by the controller 60, the controller 60 can accurately control the on / off switching of the switch module 50.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 60 may include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to process data of the first sensor 10 , the second sensor 20 , the first vibrating element 30 , the second vibrating element 40 and the switch module 50 .

[0038] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a first detection module 31 and a second detection module 41. The first detection module 31 is electrically connected to the controller 60 through the first feedback module 32, so that the working state of the first vibrating member 30 detected by the first detection module 31 is fed back to the controller 60 through the first feedback module 32. The second detection module 41 is electrically connected to the controller 60 through the second feedback module 42, so that the working state of the second vibrating member 40 detected by the second detection module 41 is fed back to the controller 60.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the first detection module 31 can monitor in real time whether the first vibrating member 30 is in the abnormal state, so that the controller 60 can receive the abnormal state of the first vibrating member 30 and promptly control the switch module 50 to conduct electricity between the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating member 40. Similarly, the second detection module 41 can monitor in real time whether the second vibrating member 40 is in the abnormal state, so that the controller 60 can receive the abnormal state of the second vibrating member 40 and promptly control the switch module 50 to conduct electricity between the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating member 30.

[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a first feedback module 32 and a second feedback module 42. The first feedback module 32 is electrically connected to the first detection module 31 and the controller 60, respectively, to feed back the operating status of the first vibrating member 30 detected by the first detection module 31 to the controller 60. The second feedback module 42 is electrically connected to the second detection module 41 and the controller 60, respectively, to feed back the operating status of the second vibrating member 40 detected by the second detection module 41 to the controller 60.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the first feedback module 32 can convert the detection signal of the first detection module 31 into a first feedback signal, which makes it easier for the controller 60 to determine the working state of the first vibrating member 30 based on the above-mentioned first feedback signal, thereby improving the accuracy of signal conversion. In addition, there is no need for the controller 60 to undergo multiple signal conversion processes, thereby reducing the data processing pressure of the controller 60. Similarly, the second feedback module 42 can convert the detection signal of the second detection module 41 into a second feedback signal, which makes it easier for the controller 60 to determine the working state of the second vibrating member 40 based on the above-mentioned second feedback signal, thereby improving the accuracy of signal conversion. In addition, there is no need for the controller 60 to undergo multiple signal conversion processes, thereby reducing the data processing pressure of the controller 60.

[0042] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the electronic device further includes a sensor detection module 61; the sensor detection module 61 is electrically connected to the controller 60, the first sensor 10, and the second sensor 20, respectively, to detect the operating status of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20. The sensor detection module can monitor the operating status of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 in real time, and promptly feed back the operating status of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 to the controller 60, so that the controller 60 can accurately control the on and off of the switch module 50 based on the operating status of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20.

[0043] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the sensor detection module 61 includes at least one of a chip identification recognition module and a signal offset detection module. By detecting the initialization of the chip identification recognition and the signal offset, it is more accurately determined whether the working status of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 is in an abnormal state.

[0044] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the chip identification recognition module is electrically connected to the controller 60, the first sensor 10, and the second sensor 20, respectively. When the chip identification recognition module detects that the chip identification recognition initialization of the first sensor 10 has failed, the first sensor 10 is in an abnormal state, and the chip identification recognition module feeds back the abnormal state of the first sensor 10 to the controller 60. When the chip identification recognition module detects that the chip identification recognition initialization of the second sensor 20 has failed, the second sensor 20 is in an abnormal state, and the chip identification recognition module feeds back the abnormal state of the second sensor 20 to the controller 60. In this way, the working state of the second sensor 20 can be obtained by judging the initialization status of the chip identification recognition of the first sensor 10; and the working state of the second sensor 20 can be obtained by judging the initialization status of the chip identification recognition of the second sensor 20. The operation is simple and easy to implement, and the working states of the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 can be accurately judged.

[0045] For example, in actual applications, two situations in which chip identification initialization fails are listed below.

[0046] Case 1: The circuit between the first sensor 10 and the controller 60 is open or shorted, preventing the controller 60 from transmitting signals to the first sensor 10. Consequently, initialization of chip identification recognition for the first sensor 10 fails, and the first sensor 10 is determined to be abnormal. Similarly, the circuit between the second sensor 20 and the controller 60 is open or shorted, preventing the controller 60 from transmitting signals to the second sensor 20. Consequently, initialization of chip identification recognition for the second sensor 20 fails, and the second sensor 20 is determined to be abnormal.

[0047] Case 2: The hardware module of the first sensor 10 is damaged, and the controller 60 cannot obtain the chip ID of the first sensor 10. Therefore, the chip ID recognition initialization of the first sensor 10 fails, and the first sensor 10 is determined to be in an abnormal state. Similarly, the hardware module of the second sensor 20 is damaged, and the controller 60 cannot obtain the chip ID of the second sensor 20. Therefore, the chip ID recognition initialization of the second sensor 20 fails, and the second sensor 20 is determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the signal offset detection module is electrically connected to the controller 60, the first sensor 10, and the second sensor 20, respectively. If the signal offset detection module detects that the signal offset of the first sensor 10 is greater than a preset threshold, the first sensor 10 is in an abnormal state, and the signal offset detection module feeds back the abnormal state of the first sensor 10 to the controller 60. If the signal offset detection module detects that the signal offset of the second sensor 20 is greater than the preset threshold, the second sensor 20 is in an abnormal state, and the signal offset detection module feeds back the abnormal state of the second sensor 20 to the controller 60. In this way, the operating state of the second sensor 20 can be determined by determining the signal offset of the first sensor 10, and the operating state of the second sensor 20 can be determined by determining the signal offset of the second sensor 20. This is simple and easy to implement, and can accurately determine the operating states of the first and second sensors 10 and 20.

[0049] In practical applications, pressure sensors are equipped with a Wisestone bridge circuit, which consists of four resistors, one for each of the four arms of the bridge. The Wisestone bridge uses changes in resistance to measure changes in physical quantities, offering high precision. Pressure sensors typically have a preset threshold range for their signal offset at the factory. If any of the four arms becomes damaged or fails during use, the Wisestone bridge becomes unbalanced, and the pressure sensor's signal offset exceeds its preset threshold range, indicating an abnormal operating state.

[0050] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the electronic device also includes a display module 62; the controller 60 is electrically connected to the display module 62, and the controller 60 is used to control the display module 62 to display the working status of the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrator 30, and the second vibrator 40.

[0051] For example, when the first sensor 10 is in an abnormal state, the display module 62 displays the abnormality of the first sensor 10 and whether the second sensor 20 is connected to the first vibrating element 30 on the user interface. After receiving user input such as touch, click, or slide, the controller 60 controls the switch module 50 to connect the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating element 30, so that the second sensor 20 can simultaneously trigger the first vibrating element 30 and the second vibrating element 40. Alternatively, the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating element 30 can be connected, and the controller 60 can simultaneously turn off the triggering of the second vibrating element 40 by the second sensor 20, so that the second sensor 20 alone triggers the first vibrating element 30.

[0052] Similarly, when the second sensor 20 is in an abnormal state, the display module 62 displays the abnormality of the second sensor 20 and whether the first sensor 10 and the second vibrator 40 are connected in the user interface, receives the user's touch, click, slide and other inputs, and the controller 60 controls the switch module 50 to connect the first sensor 10 and the second vibrator 40, so that the first sensor 10 can trigger the first vibrator 30 and the second vibrator 40 at the same time. Alternatively, the first sensor 10 and the second vibrator 40 can be connected, and the controller 60 can be used to turn off the triggering of the first vibrator 30 by the first sensor 10, so that the first sensor 10 triggers the second vibrator 40 alone. In this way, the user can switch the corresponding triggering relationship between the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrator 30, and the second vibrator 40 according to their own needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] If the first vibrating member 30 is in an abnormal state, the display module 62 displays the abnormality of the first vibrating member 30 on the user interface, and indicates whether the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating member 40 are connected. Upon receiving user input such as touch, click, or slide, the controller 60 controls the switch module 50 to connect the first sensor 10 and the second vibrating member 40. Similarly, if the second vibrating member 40 is in an abnormal state, the display module 62 displays the abnormality of the second vibrating member 40 on the user interface, and indicates whether the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating member 30 are connected. Upon receiving user input such as touch, click, or slide, the controller 60 controls the switch module 50 to connect the second sensor 20 and the first vibrating member 30. This ensures that both the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 have recorded vibration data, preventing the loss of vibration data.

[0054] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a trigger module 51, which is electrically connected to the switch module 50 and the controller 60, respectively. The trigger module 51 receives a switch control instruction from the controller 60 and triggers the switch module 50 to be turned on and off according to the switch control instruction. The trigger module 51 enables the controller 60 to directly control the switch module 50, thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the controller 60 for the switch module 50.

[0055] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a first vibrator driving module 33 and a second vibrator driving module 43. The first vibrator driving module 33 is electrically connected to the first vibrator 30 and the first sensor 10, respectively. When the first sensor 10 receives a first trigger signal, the first vibrator driving module 33 drives the first vibrator 30 to vibrate in response to the first trigger signal. The second vibrator driving module 43 is electrically connected to the second vibrator 40 and the second sensor 20, respectively. When the second sensor 20 receives a second trigger signal, the second vibrator driving module 43 drives the second vibrator 40 to vibrate in response to the second trigger signal.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the first vibrator 30 is directly driven by the first vibrator driving module 33, thereby improving the driving force and driving accuracy of the first vibrator 30. The second vibrator driving module 43 is used to drive the second vibrator 40, thereby improving the driving force and driving accuracy of the second vibrator 40.

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first vibration element driving module 33 may include a first driving IC, and the second vibration element driving module 43 may include a second driving IC.

[0058] For example, Figure 2As shown, the first detection module 31 can be arranged between the first vibrator 30 and the first vibrator driving module 33, or directly between the first vibrator 30 and the controller 60, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Similarly, the second detection module 41 can be arranged between the second vibrator 40 and the second vibrator driving module 43, or directly between the second vibrator 40 and the controller 60, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0059] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the switch module 50 is electrically connected to the first vibrator driving module 33 and the second vibrator driving module 43, respectively. When the first sensor 10 is operating abnormally, the switch module 50 connects the first vibrator driving module 33 to the second sensor 20. When the second sensor 20 is operating abnormally, the switch module 50 connects the second vibrator driving module 43 to the first sensor 10. When the first vibrator 30 is operating abnormally, the switch module 50 connects the first sensor 10 to the second vibrator driving module 43. When the second vibrator 40 is operating abnormally, the switch module 50 connects the second sensor 20 to the first vibrator driving module 33.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the on-off control among the first vibrator driving module 33, the second vibrator driving module 43, the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 is controlled by the switch module 50, so that the on-off control among the first vibrator 30, the second vibrator 40, the first sensor 10 and the second sensor 20 can be achieved, making the control over the first vibrator 30 and the second vibrator 40 more effective, avoiding the hardware waste and unnecessary energy consumption of the first vibrator driving module 33 and the second vibrator driving module 43 caused by directly controlling the first vibrator 30 and the second vibrator 40.

[0061] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 10 can trigger the first vibrator driving module 33 through the first drive trigger module, and the second sensor 20 can trigger the second vibrator driving module 43 through the second drive trigger module. In addition, the controller 60 can control the first sensor 10 through the first control module and the second sensor 20 through the second control module. The controller 60 can also control the first vibrator driving module 33 through the third control module and the second vibrator driving module 43 through the fourth control module. This allows the controller 60 to effectively control the first sensor 10, the second sensor 20, the first vibrator driving module 33, and the second vibrator driving module 43, thereby improving the processing efficiency of signal transmission data.

[0062] In summary, the electronic device described in the embodiments of the present application may have at least the following advantages:

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes: a first sensor, a second sensor, a first vibrator, a second vibrator, and a switch module; the first sensor is electrically connected to the first vibrator, the second sensor is electrically connected to the second vibrator, and the switch module is electrically connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, the first vibrator, and the second vibrator, respectively; the operating states of the first sensor, the second sensor, the first vibrator, and the second vibrator include a normal state and an abnormal state; when the operating state of the first sensor is abnormal, the switch module conducts electricity between the first vibrator and the second sensor, and when the operating state of the second sensor is abnormal, the switch module conducts electricity between the second vibrator and the first sensor; when the operating state of the first vibrator is abnormal, the switch module conducts electricity between the first sensor and the second vibrator, and when the operating state of the second vibrator is abnormal, the switch module conducts electricity between the second sensor and the first vibrator. In this way, if the vibrator is damaged, its corresponding pressure sensor cannot trigger the vibration of the vibrator, thus losing vibration data, while its corresponding pressure sensor and driver IC remain in operation. Alternatively, if the pressure sensor is damaged, its corresponding vibrator and driver IC will not operate and remain in a dormant state for a long time. This allows the electronic device to retain vibration data after one of its vibrating components fails, or to still have a three-dimensional vibration effect after one of its pressure sensors fails abnormally, thereby avoiding ineffective energy consumption, increasing the battery life of the electronic device, avoiding hardware waste, and improving the user experience.
