It is particularly pointed out that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, but do not limit the scope of the present application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor under the premise of, also belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] Reference to an "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] As used herein, "electronic device" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, a device configured to receive / transmit communication signals via a wired line connection (e.g., via a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a digital subscriber line (DSL), a digital cable, a direct cable connection, and / or another data connection / network) and / or via a wireless interface (e.g., for a cellular network, a wireless local area network (WLAN), a digital television network such as a DVB-H network, a satellite network, an AM-FM broadcast transmitter, and / or another communication terminal). A communication terminal configured to communicate through a wireless interface can be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", a "wireless terminal", or a "mobile terminal". Examples of a mobile terminal include, but are not limited to, a satellite or cellular telephone; a personal communication system (PCS) terminal that can combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile, and data communications capabilities; a PDA that can include a wireless radiotelephone, a pager, Internet / intranet access, a Web browser, a notepad, a calendar, and / or a global positioning system (GPS) receiver; and a conventional laptop and / or palmtop receiver, or other electronic devices including a wireless radiotelephone transceiver. A handset is an electronic device configured with a cellular communication module.

[0021] It should be noted that the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application is mainly for the electronic device with a flexible screen structure, wherein the flexible screen can be folded or unfolded on the electronic device. It can be understood that the electronic device in the present application can include a handset, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a wearable device, and other electronic devices with a flexible screen structure. Hereinafter, a handset is taken as an example for description.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 when closed in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 is Figure 1 a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 when opened in the embodiments. The electronic device 100 generally includes a first housing 10, a second housing 20, and a flexible screen 30. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can relatively move, for example, move towards each other or move away from each other, so that the electronic device 100 can present different appearance forms and display forms, that is, so that the electronic device 100 can have a closed state and an opened state.

[0023] in, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are closed, i.e., when the electronic device 100 is closed (first state). Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the electronic device 100 when the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are open (second state). When the electronic device 100 is... Figure 1 The first state shown transforms into Figure 2 In the second state shown, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 move in opposite directions; when the electronic device 100 is... Figure 2 The second state shown transforms into Figure 1 In the first state shown, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 move towards each other. The flexible screen 30 can move synchronously with the movement of the first housing 10 and / or the second housing 20, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to switch arbitrarily between a large screen state and a small screen state, thus achieving different display effects and different appearance forms.

[0024] The relative movement between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be achieved through a sliding structure, a hinge structure, a rotating shaft structure, or other structures, which will not be elaborated further. In this application, the sliding connection between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 is used as an example for illustrative purposes. For instance, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be connected through structures such as slide rails or slide grooves.

[0025] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the electronic device 100 along the AA direction in the embodiment. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The embodiment shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the electronic device 100 along the BB direction. The electronic device 100 may include a roller 50, around which the flexible screen 30 can move, allowing the electronic device 100 to switch between a small-screen display state and a large-screen display state. It is understood that the roller 50 can be rotated by a driving mechanism such as a motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the roller 50 within the electronic device 100 can be replaced by a structural component such as a sliding shaft to drive the flexible screen 30 to extend and retract, thereby achieving the switching of display states.

[0027] Further, the electronic device 100 generally comprises a display side 101 and a supporting side 102 arranged oppositely. The display side 101 is configured to realize corresponding display function or interactive function of the electronic device 100, i.e. the display surface of the flexible screen 30 can be arranged on the display side 101. The supporting side 102 is configured to support or hold one side of the electronic device 100 by a user. As shown in the figure, when the electronic device 100 is used, the eye 60 or other viewing part can view the image displayed on the display surface of the flexible screen 30 or realize interactive operation on the display side 101, and the hand 70 or other supporting structure can support the electronic device 100 on the supporting side 102. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the electronic device 100 is used, the eye 60 or other viewing part can view the image displayed on the display surface of the flexible screen 30 or realize interactive operation on the display side 101, and the hand 70 or other supporting structure can support the electronic device 100 on the supporting side 102.

[0028] Based on the structure that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can move relatively, when the electronic device 100 is transformed from the first state to the second state, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 move oppositely to enable the electronic device 100 to present a large-screen display state. At the same time, on the supporting side 102, there is a gap between the corresponding surfaces of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20. As shown in the figure, the hand 70 or other structure can be located at the position with the gap, and if the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 move towards each other at this time, the hand 70 or other structure can be clamped by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, thereby making the electronic device 100 unable to realize complete closing. Even if the driving force for moving the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 towards each other is large, the hand 70 can also be injured. Figure 4

[0029] The first shell 10 has a first surface 110, and the second shell 20 has a second surface 120, and the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are connected to the supporting side 102 of the electronic device 100. When the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 move towards each other to the first state, the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are attached (as shown in the figure); when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 move oppositely to the second state, the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are spaced (as shown in the figure). It should be noted that all the "attachment" described in the present application can be generally attached, i.e. the attachment described in the present application at least includes the following three cases: in the first case, the two surfaces attached are completely close without gap; in the second case, there is a gap between the two surfaces attached, for example, the gap between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 is not greater than 1mm or 2mm or other size, which is also within the protection scope of the present application, and the two surfaces attached can be parallel or not parallel; in the third case, the two surfaces attached are partially contacted, i.e. the two surfaces attached are not completely close but partially close, and there is a gap between the parts. Figure 3 Figure 4 ​​​

[0030] Furthermore, the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 has a third surface 130, that is, the third surface 130 is bent and connected to the first surface 110 or the second surface 120. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the third surface 130 is formed on the second housing 20 and bent to connect with the second surface 120. In the second state, the first surface 110, the second surface 120, and the third surface 130 cooperate to form a clearance groove 103. Specifically, in the first state, the first housing 10 fills the clearance groove 103, meaning the first surface 110, the second surface 120, and the third surface 130 are concealed within the electronic device 100 and are not visible externally. In the second state, the first surface 110, the second surface 120, and the third surface 130 are exposed within the electronic device 100, meaning the clearance groove 103 is visible externally. Of course, in other embodiments, the third surface 130 may be formed on the first housing 10 and bent and connected to the first surface 110. In this structure, when the electronic device 100 is in the first state, the second housing 20 fills the clearance groove 103; when the electronic device 100 is in the second state, the clearance groove 103 formed by the first surface 110, the second surface 120 and the third surface 130 is exposed to the electronic device 100.

[0031] When a hand or other structural component is located in the clearance groove, during the process of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 moving towards each other, that is, during the process of the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 moving towards each other until they are in contact, the hand or other structural component may be clamped, which will affect the contact effect and thus affect the closing effect of the electronic device 100.

[0032] Therefore, in order to avoid the clamping phenomenon that could affect the closing effect of the electronic device 100 or cause more serious consequences such as hand injury, this application sets detection lines on the above-mentioned clearance grooves (i.e., the first surface 110, the second surface 120, and the third surface 130, etc.) to detect whether there is a hand or other structural component in the clearance groove, thus avoiding the aforementioned undesirable phenomenon.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 100 in some other embodiments of this application, wherein the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 cooperate to form a working mating surface; when the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 move toward each other to a first state, the working mating surface is hidden inside the electronic device 100; when the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 move away from each other to a second state, the working mating surface is exposed to the electronic device 100.

[0034] Further, the working cooperation surface is provided with a first line 81 and a second line 82, which are configured to detect whether a conductor (for example, a hand or the like) exists in the above-mentioned avoiding groove, so as to avoid the phenomenon of pinching a hand or the like, that is, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are configured to realize the anti-pinch function of the electronic device 100. In the structural arrangement of the electronic device 100, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are insulated. When the conductor (for example, a hand) covers the first line 81 and the second line 82, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are conducted through the conductor, and then output corresponding electrical signals to the processing circuit or the processor inside the electronic device 100, so as to detect the anti-pinch function.

[0035] It can be understood that the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be connected to the processing circuit or the processor inside the electronic device 100, and based on the insulation arrangement between the first line 81 and the second line 82, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are connected to the circuit of the processing circuit or the processor, and have a preset electrical signal (for example, a high level, an analog level or the like) in the circuit. Based on the conductive characteristics of the hand, when the conductor such as a hand covers the first line 81 and the second line 82, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be electrically conducted through the conductor, at this time, the electrical signal in the circuit to which the first line 81 and the second line 82 are connected will change, so that whether the conductor such as a hand exists in the above-mentioned avoiding groove can be judged through the changed electrical signal, and then the anti-pinch function of the electronic device 100 is realized.

[0036] The working cooperation surface can be at least one of the first surface 110, the second surface 120 and the third surface 130 described in the foregoing embodiments. That is, the working cooperation surface can be understood as the inner side surface of the avoiding groove 103, and the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged on the inner side surface of the avoiding groove 103. Preferably, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the first surface 110, and / or the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the second surface 120, and / or the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the third surface 130.

[0037] In an embodiment, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be metal wires formed on the working cooperation surface. For example, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be metal sheets, and can be connected to the working cooperation surface by means of bonding, buckling, embedding or the like. For another example, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can adopt a metal material, and are integrally formed with the working cooperation surface through a plating process, an injection molding process or the like. It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application only exemplarily illustrates the process mode of forming the first line 81 and the second line 82 on the working cooperation surface, but is not limited thereto.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a structural schematic block diagram of the electronic device 100 in some other embodiments of the present application, wherein the electronic device 100 can further include a processing circuit 83, a grounding terminal 84 and a processor 85. The processing circuit 83 is connected to the processor 85 to transmit the electrical signal acquired by the processing circuit 83 to the processor 85, so that the processor 85 can execute corresponding instructions based on the received electrical signal. The first line 81 is connected to the processing circuit 83, and the second line 82 and the processing circuit 83 are respectively connected to the grounding terminal 84, thereby forming an anti-pinch detection circuit of the electronic device 100.

[0039] As can be seen, in the case where no hand or other conductor is pinched, the insulation between the first line 81 and the second line 82 is in an open circuit state, and at this time the signal acquired by the processing circuit 83 is an open circuit signal. Based on the open circuit signal, the processor 85 can control the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to continue to move until completely closed. In the case where a hand or other conductor is pinched, the conduction between the first line 81 and the second line 82 is in a short circuit state, and at this time the signal acquired by the processing circuit 83 is a short circuit signal. Based on the short circuit signal, the processor 85 can control the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to stop moving or move in the opposite direction to avoid the phenomenon of pinching a hand.

[0040] It can be understood that the processing circuit 83 can be integrated on the processor 85, i.e. the processing circuit 83 can be a functional circuit integrated on the processor 85, the first line 81 is connected to the processing circuit 83 on the processor 85, and the second line 82 and the processing circuit 83 on the processor 85 are grounded. Among them, the processing circuit 83 can be one or more of a digital-to-analog conversion circuit, a switching circuit, a filtering circuit, a signal amplification circuit, etc. integrated. Among them, the grounding terminal 84 can be formed on the processor 85 or other structural members of the electronic device 100, i.e. it can realize the grounding function.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the second line 82 can be connected to the processing circuit 83 or the processor 85, and the first line 81 can be connected to the grounding terminal 84. In other words, one of the first line 81 and the second line 82 is connected to the processor 85, and the other is connected to the grounding terminal 84.

[0042] Again, please refer to Figure 5The first line 81 and the second line 82 are provided with one and are spaced apart, so that the first line 81 and the second line 82 are insulated. Specifically, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged in a first direction. When the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged on the first surface 110, the first direction is substantially a direction in which the first surface 110 faces away from the third surface 130. When the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged on the second surface 120, the first direction is substantially a direction in which the second surface 120 faces away from the third surface 130. When the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged on the third surface 130, the first direction is substantially a direction in which the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are connected, or can be a relative movement direction between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.

[0043] Preferably, the first line 81 and the second line 82 are arranged on the third surface 130, and the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged in the movement direction of the first housing 10 and / or the second housing 20. When a hand or other conductor covers the first line 81 and the second line 82, the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be conducted by the conductor.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" in the present application are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 in another embodiment of the present application, wherein the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 cooperate to form a working cooperation surface. The working cooperation surface can be at least one of the first surface 110, the second surface 120 and the third surface 130 described in the foregoing embodiments. The first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the first surface 110, and / or the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the second surface 120, and / or the first line 81 and the second line 82 can be arranged on the third surface 130.

[0046] For example, the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are arranged on the third surface 130, and the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 can be arranged in multiple, the multiple first lines 81 are arranged in the first direction, and the multiple second lines 82 are arranged in the first direction. Among them, one second line 82 is arranged between two adjacent first lines 81, and one first line 81 is arranged between two adjacent second lines 82. In other words, the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are alternately arranged in the movement direction of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20. It should be understood that the meaning of "multiple" in the present application is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0047] Further, the multiple first lines 81 are respectively connected to the processing circuit, and the multiple second lines 82 are respectively connected to the ground end, so that when the conductor covers any one of the multiple first lines 81 and any one of the multiple second lines 82, the any one first line 81 and the any one second line 82 can be connected through the conductor, and the processing circuit can obtain the corresponding short circuit signal, thereby improving the sensitivity of the anti-pinch function detection.

[0048] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize the anti-pinch function detection by arranging multiple first lines and multiple second lines on the working cooperation surface, and alternately arranging the first lines and the second lines in the first direction to form a grid structure. When any first line and any second line are covered by the conductor, the processing circuit can obtain the corresponding short circuit signal, thereby realizing the anti-pinch function detection with high detection sensitivity.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 in some other embodiments of the present application, wherein the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 cooperate to form a working cooperation surface. The working cooperation surface can be at least one of the first surface 110, the second surface 120 and the third surface 130 described in the foregoing embodiments. The first lines 81 and the second lines 82 can be arranged on the first surface 110, and / or the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 can be arranged on the second surface 120, and / or the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 can be arranged on the third surface 130.

[0050] For example, the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are arranged on the third surface 130, and the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 can be arranged in multiple, the multiple first lines 81 are arranged in the first direction, and the multiple second lines 82 are arranged in the first direction. Among them, one second line 82 is arranged between two adjacent first lines 81, and one first line 81 is arranged between two adjacent second lines 82. In other words, the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are alternately arranged in the movement direction of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20. It should be understood that the meaning of "multiple" in the present application is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0051] Further, the plurality of first lines 81 are respectively connected to the processing circuit, and the plurality of second lines 82 are respectively connected to the ground end, so that when the conductor covers any one of the plurality of first lines 81 and any one of the plurality of second lines 82, the any one of the first line 81 and the any one of the second line 82 can be communicated through the conductor, and the processing circuit can obtain the corresponding short circuit signal, thereby improving the sensitivity of the anti-pinch function detection.

[0052] In an embodiment, the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are stacked on the third surface 130. For example, the first lines 81 are laid on the third surface 130, and the second lines 82 are arranged on the side of the first lines 81 away from the third surface 130. When there is direct contact between the first lines 81 and the second lines 82, the direct contact area between the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 is insulated, so that the first lines 81 and the second lines 82 are insulated.

[0053] For example, the side of the second line 82 adjacent to the first line 81 can be coated with an insulating material to insulate the second line 82 from the first line 81. Alternatively, the side of the first line 81 adjacent to the second line 82 can be coated with an insulating material to insulate the first line 81 from the second line 82. Of course, the insulation between the first line 81 and the second line 82 can also be achieved by other means, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] In an embodiment, the electronic device 100 can further include a position sensor 86. When the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 move relatively, the position sensor 86 can sense the relative position of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and determine the form of the electronic device 100.

[0055] The electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application can achieve anti-pinch function detection with high detection sensitivity by arranging a plurality of first lines and a plurality of second lines on the working cooperation surface, and arranging the first lines in a first direction and the second lines in a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction intersecting to form a mesh structure. When any first line and any second line are covered by a conductor, the processing circuit can obtain a corresponding short circuit signal, thereby achieving anti-pinch function detection with high detection sensitivity.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a flowchart of a control method of the electronic device 100 in some embodiments of the present application. The electronic device can be the electronic device 100 in the foregoing embodiments.

[0057] Further, the control method of the electronic device generally includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S901, obtaining an electrical signal between the first line and the second line.

[0059] Specifically, when the first line and the second line are connected, the electrical signal between the first line and the second line is a short-circuit signal; when the first line and the second line are disconnected, the electrical signal between the first line and the second line is an open-circuit signal. The processor obtains the electrical signal between the first line and the second line and performs corresponding processing to control the electronic device to perform corresponding operations.

[0060] Step S902, controlling a motion state of the first shell and / or the second shell according to the electrical signal. Specifically, the processor of the electronic device controls the motion state of the first shell and / or the second shell of the electronic device based on the obtained electrical signal between the first line and the second line. The motion state of the first shell and / or the second shell can be that one of the first shell and the second shell remains in a stationary state and the other moves towards or away from the one. Of course, the motion state of the first shell and / or the second shell can also be that the first shell and the second shell simultaneously move towards or away from each other. Hereinafter, an example is exemplarily illustrated with the first shell remaining in a stationary state and the second shell moving towards or away from the first shell.

[0061] Further, when the second shell moves towards the first shell, if a conductor such as a hand covers the first line and the second line, the electrical signal obtained by the processor is a short-circuit signal, that is, it can be considered that there is an obstacle between the first shell and the second shell to prevent the second shell from continuing to move, at this time, the second shell is controlled to stop moving (that is, it can be understood that the second shell and the first shell stop relative movement), or the second shell is controlled to move away from the first shell (that is, it can be understood that the second shell and the first shell move away from each other). In other words, step S902 further comprises: when the obtained electrical signal is a short-circuit signal, controlling the first shell and the second shell to stop relative movement, or controlling the first shell and the second shell to move away from each other.
