[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. The steps shown in the flowcharts can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0060] As mentioned above, current foldable phones can only perform their own basic functions and cannot perform specific functions beyond those functions, resulting in a limited range of functionalities. This application, however, expands the functionality of foldable phones by detecting the angle parameter between the first and second bodies of the electronic device and controlling a target component of the device to perform specific functions beyond its basic functions while satisfying this angle parameter.

[0061] The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the flow implementation of the control method in this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0063] Step 101: Obtain target parameters, which are used to characterize the angle parameters between the first body of the electronic device and the second body rotatably connected to the first body;

[0064] In this application, the method can be applied to electronic devices with folding functionality, including but not limited to foldable phones, foldable tablets, foldable computers, foldable game consoles, foldable watches, etc. The electronic device can include at least a first body and a second body rotatably connected to the first body. By rotating the first body or the second body, the current form of the electronic device can be changed. For example, if the electronic device is currently in a folded form, controlling the rotation of the first body to open it by a target angle away from the second body can put the electronic device in an unfolded form; conversely, if the electronic device is currently in an unfolded form, controlling the rotation of the first body to close it by a target angle closer to the second body can put the electronic device in a folded form.

[0065] In this application, the electronic device may have at least one sensor, through which corresponding detection data can be obtained. Using the detection data obtained from the sensor of the electronic device, target parameters characterizing the first body and second body angles of the electronic device can be obtained.

[0066] In one implementation, the first body may have a magnetic field sensor (such as a Hall sensor), and the second body may have a magnet. The magnetic field sensor can obtain magnetic field detection data by detecting the magnetic field signal of the magnet.

[0067] Here, the magnetic field detection data can refer to the magnetic field strength value, current value, voltage value, etc., corresponding to the magnetic field signal.

[0068] Typically, this magnetic field sensor has three axes. Since the three axes are at different angles, the magnetic field signal emitted by the magnet in the spatial magnetic field has different magnetic field components on the three axes. By calculating the magnetic field components on the three axes, the angle parameters of the first and second bodies of the current electronic device can be obtained.

[0069] In another implementation, a first accelerometer can be provided on the first body and a second accelerometer can be provided on the second body. When the electronic device is at different folding angles, the gravity generated by the electronic device has different gravity components on the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer. The angle parameters of the first body and the second body of the current electronic device can be obtained by calculating the angle difference of the different gravity components.

[0070] Step 102: Determine the target component of the electronic device based on the angle parameter. The target component includes a first part located in the first body and a second part located in the second body.

[0071] Here, if the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy the first angle condition, then the sound-emitting component of the electronic device is determined to be the target component. This sound-emitting component includes, but is not limited to, a speaker, a buzzer, and a loudspeaker. The sound-emitting component includes a first sound-emitting component located on the first body and a second sound-emitting component located on the second body.

[0072] Here, the electronic device may have a preset specific angle parameter. By comparing the obtained angle parameters of the first body and the second body with the specific angle parameter, if the comparison result indicates that the angle parameter is consistent with the specific angle parameter, it is determined that the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy the first angle condition.

[0073] Alternatively, the angle difference between the angle parameter and a specific angle parameter can be calculated. If the angle difference is within a preset angle range, then the angle parameters of the first body and the second body are determined to satisfy the first angle condition.

[0074] For example, the electronic device has a preset angle parameter of 60 degrees. If the detected angle parameters of the first body and the second body are any between 59 and 61 degrees, then it is determined that the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy the first angle condition.

[0075] In this application, if the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy a second angle condition, then the touchscreen of the electronic device is determined to be the target component. The touchscreen includes a first screen located on the first body and a second screen located on the second body.

[0076] Here, the second angle condition can be the same as or different from the first angle condition. When the second angle condition is the same as the first angle condition, both the touchscreen and the sound-emitting component are referred to as target components, and both the sound-emitting component and the touchscreen can simultaneously perform the functions corresponding to those angle parameters. When the second angle condition is different from the first angle condition, the touchscreen is the target component, and it can perform the corresponding functions of the touchscreen under those angle parameters.

[0077] In this application, if the first screen of the first body and the second screen of the second body of the electronic device are a single, complete flexible screen, and if the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy a third angle condition, then the image acquisition component and at least a portion of the display screen of the electronic device are determined to be the target component. Here, the image acquisition component includes, but is not limited to, a camera, and may be located on the first body and / or the second body.

[0078] If the first screen of the first body and the second screen of the second body of the electronic device are independent display screens, and if the angle parameters of the first body and the second body satisfy a third angle condition, then the image acquisition component and at least one display screen of the electronic device are determined to be the target component. Here, the at least one display screen determined to be the target component is located on a different body from the image acquisition component. For example, if the image acquisition component is located on the first body, then the at least one display screen is located on the second body, so as to ensure that the image acquisition component can acquire the image information of the display screen.

[0079] Here, the third angle condition can be the same as or different from the first and second angle conditions. When the third angle condition is the same as the first and second angle conditions, the touch screen, image acquisition component, and sound generation component are all referred to as target components, which can simultaneously realize the corresponding functions of the touch screen, image acquisition component, and sound generation component under the given angle parameters.

[0080] Step 103: Control the target component to be in working state based on the target strategy, wherein the first part of the target component is in working state and the second part of the target component is in working state to satisfy the angle parameter to realize the target function corresponding to the target strategy.

[0081] In this application, when the target component is the sound-emitting component of the electronic device, the target strategy may be to control the sound-emitting component of the electronic device to emit at least two sets of sound wave signals, and the two sets of sound wave signals may be interleaved. By adjusting the phase difference between the at least two sets of sound wave signals, the air in the space range corresponding to the at least two sets of sound wave signals is made to vibrate, thereby forming an airflow.

[0082] Specifically, the electronic device can control a first sound-emitting component on a first body to emit a first set of sound wave signals, and control a second sound-emitting component on a second body to emit a second set of sound wave signals, based on the target strategy. The first and second sets of sound wave signals propagate in opposite directions, have the same amplitude and frequency, and exhibit sound wave intersection. Then, the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves is adjusted so that they vibrate the air within the spatial range corresponding to the current angular parameters, forming airflow, thereby achieving the function of heat dissipation for the electronic device.

[0083] Here, as long as the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves is different at different points in time, it can cause vibration of the air in the spatial range corresponding to the current angle parameter, thus forming an airflow.

[0084] for example Figure 2 As shown, when the upper cover 10 and lower cover 20 of the mobile phone are folded to a preset angle (e.g., 65 degrees), the speaker 30 of the upper cover 10 and the speaker 40 of the lower cover 20 are controlled to output a set of specific ultrasonic signals respectively. The two sets of ultrasonic signals can cross each other. By continuously adjusting the phase between the two sets of sound wave signals, the air between the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 is made to vibrate, forming an airflow, which can then be used to help the mobile phone dissipate heat.

[0085] For example, for a 2K signal, the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves is 10 degrees at time T0, 20 degrees at time T1, and 30 degrees at time T3. Here, the phase difference is just an example; the key is that the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves is different at different time points.

[0086] In this application, the electronic device can also detect the electrical energy parameters (including but not limited to voltage, current, and power) of the battery during the current charging process, compare the electrical energy parameters with an electrical energy threshold, and if the comparison result indicates that the electrical energy parameter is greater than or equal to the electrical energy threshold, then control the angle parameters of the first body and the second body to meet the first angle condition.

[0087] For example, when a foldable phone is fast charging, the high charging power can cause the phone to overheat. To reduce this overheating, the fast charging current is reduced, resulting in slower charging. To address this issue, this application can control the top and bottom covers of the foldable phone to automatically fold at a specific angle (e.g., 65 degrees). This allows the speakers on the top and bottom covers to output specific sound wave signals. By adjusting the phase difference between these two sets of sound wave signals, a standing wave effect is created, which moves air and forms an airflow. Thus, in fast charging scenarios, the electronic device can achieve heat dissipation by using sound waves from its sound-emitting components to move air.

[0088] In this application, when the target component is a touch screen, the target strategy may be to control the touch screen of the electronic device to detect the touch point information generated by the first object touching the touch screen, and determine the size parameters of the first object through the touch point information.

[0089] Specifically, the electronic device can control the first screen of the first body to detect the first touch point information generated by the first object in the first touch area of ​​the first body, and control the second screen of the second body to detect the second touch point information generated by the first object in the second touch area of ​​the second body, based on the target strategy; wherein the first object is located within the spatial range corresponding to the angle parameter formed by the first body and the second body; and then determine the size parameter of the first object according to the first touch point information, the second touch point information and the angle parameter.

[0090] Here, the dimensional parameters of the first object include, but are not limited to, the diameter, height, length, etc. of the first object.

[0091] In this application, when the electronic device determines the size parameters of a first object based on first touch point information, second touch point information, and angle parameters, it can specifically determine the position of the first touch point of the first object corresponding to the first touch area based on the first touch point information, determine the position of the second touch point of the first object corresponding to the second touch area based on the second touch point information, and determine the folding position of the first touch area and the second touch area based on the angle parameters; then, based on the first touch point position and the folding position, it determines a first length parameter between the first touch point position and the folding position, and a second length parameter between the second touch point position and the folding position based on the second touch point position and the folding position; and finally, it determines the size parameters of the first object based on the first length parameter, the second length parameter, and the angle parameters.

[0092] like Figure 3As shown, a sphere 30 is placed between the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 of a folding phone. When the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 are folded at an angle C, an angle parameter is generated. Simultaneously, the sphere 30 can make contact with the first screen of the upper cover 10 and the second screen of the lower cover 20, respectively. The first screen of the upper cover 10 can detect touch point A generated by the contact between the sphere 30 and the first screen, and the second screen of the lower cover 20 can detect touch point B generated by the contact between the sphere 30 and the second screen. Here, the folding angle C is known. Therefore, the folding position of the touchscreen (i.e., the complete screen formed by the first and second touchscreens) can be determined when the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 are folded at angle C using an accelerometer or Hall sensor on the phone. By calculating the distance from the folding position of the touchscreen to touch point A, a first length parameter La can be obtained. By calculating the distance from the folding position of the touchscreen to touch point B, a second length parameter Lb can be obtained. The diameter of the sphere 30 can be calculated using La, Lb, and angle C.

[0093] In this application, the touchscreen of the electronic device allows for the measurement of the dimensions of objects of any shape, such as cuboids, cubes, triangular prisms, trapezoids, and so on.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, a cuboid 40 can be placed between the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 of the folding phone. When the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 are folded at angle C, one end of the top surface of the cuboid 40 can make contact with the first screen of the upper cover 10. Thus, the first screen of the upper cover 10 can detect the touch point A generated by the contact between the cuboid 40 and the first screen. The bottom surface of the cuboid 40 can make contact with the second screen of the lower cover 20. The second screen of the lower cover 20 can detect a line generated by the contact between the cuboid 40 and the second screen, which serves as touch point B. Here, since the folding angle C is known, the folding position of the touchscreen (i.e., the complete screen formed by the first and second touchscreens) can be determined by the accelerometer or Hall sensor on the phone when the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 are folded at angle C. The first length parameter La can be obtained by calculating the distance from the folding position of the touchscreen to touch point A, and the second length parameter Lb can be obtained by calculating the distance from the folding position of the touchscreen to touch point B. The height of the cuboid 40 can be calculated using La, Lb, and angle C.

[0095] Thus, the size of an object can be measured through the touchscreen of an electronic device.

[0096] In this application, when the target component is an image acquisition component and at least a partial display screen, the target strategy may be to control the at least partial display screen to display a target image, and to control the image acquisition component of the electronic device to acquire the target image displayed on the at least partial display screen of the electronic device. The comparison result between the acquired image parameters and the preset display parameters can determine whether the at least partial display screen has a color cast.

[0097] Specifically, the electronic device can control at least a portion of its display screen to display a target image based on a target strategy, and control the image acquisition unit to acquire images of the target image displayed on at least a portion of the display screen to obtain first image parameters of the at least a portion of the display screen; extract display parameters of the at least a portion of the display screen from the first image parameters; compare the display parameters with preset display parameters of the at least a portion of the display screen to obtain a comparison result; if the comparison result indicates that the display parameters are different from the preset display parameters, it is determined that the at least a portion of the display screen has a color cast, and the color output parameters of the at least a portion of the display screen are adjusted.

[0098] Here, the image acquisition component is usually a front-facing camera located on one side of the electronic device's display screen, while at least part of the display screen, which is the target component, is located on a different body from the image acquisition component. In this way, it can be ensured that the image acquisition component can capture the display image of the display screen.

[0099] For foldable devices, the display is typically an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) flexible screen. A drawback of OLEDs is that they are prone to color shifts after prolonged use. Current screen calibration methods usually involve manufacturers building a universal aging curve into the device, which users cannot calibrate themselves. This application, however, uses the device's front-facing camera to capture images of the display, obtaining the display's RGB display parameters. By comparing these parameters with the device's preset RGB parameters, it can determine if color shifts have occurred. If color shifts are present, the current ratio of the three RGB channels can be adjusted to restore the screen to its factory-set performance.

[0100] Here, users can independently test the display effect of the screen by capturing screen images with a camera every month, week, or any other time, without having to calibrate the screen only when there is a serious color cast, thus meeting the screen color cast calibration needs of different users.

[0101] To improve screen calibration accuracy when color distortion occurs, this electronic device allows for individual calibration of the R, G, and B channels, progressively increasing the adjustment coefficient for each channel. For example, if the red (R) channel in the RGB spectrum experiences attenuation, and its default current coefficient is 1, the coefficient can be adjusted to 1.1 initially. If attenuation persists, the coefficient can be increased to 1.2, and so on, until the display effect matches the device's factory settings. In this way, the device's image acquisition unit can perform real-time detection and calibration of the display screen's performance based on user needs.

[0102] In this application, the target component can also be the display screen and image acquisition component of the electronic device. When the target component is the display screen and image acquisition component of the electronic device, the target strategy can also be to control the display screen of the electronic device to output a first light signal, and control the image acquisition component to acquire images of the display screen of the electronic device and the second object respectively. The transmittance of the object can be determined by the acquired image parameters.

[0103] Specifically, the electronic device can control the display screen of the electronic device to emit a first light signal based on the target strategy, and control the image acquisition component to acquire an image of a second object located on the display screen when the display screen emits the first light signal, thereby obtaining a second image parameter of the second object; compare the second image parameter with a third image parameter of the display screen to obtain a comparison result; and determine the light transmittance of the second object based on the comparison result.

[0104] Here, the third image parameter of the display screen can be a preset image parameter or an image parameter acquired in real time.

[0105] When the third image parameter is a real-time acquired image parameter, the electronic device can also control the image acquisition component to acquire an image of the display screen emitting the first light signal under the same brightness condition before comparing the second image parameter with the third image parameter of the display screen, so as to obtain the third image parameter of the display screen. In this way, by acquiring images of the display screen and the object on the display screen respectively under the same brightness condition, the light transmittance of the object can be determined by comparing the acquisition parameters of the images.

[0106] For example, when the display emits white light, take an image of the display with the front camera of a foldable phone (the transmittance is 100%). When the object to be measured is placed on the display that emits white light, take another image of the object to be measured with the same camera (for example, the transmittance is 80%). By comparing the two images, you can determine that the transmittance of the object to be measured is 80%.

[0107] In this way, the transmittance of an object can be measured using the image acquisition component and display screen of an electronic device.

[0108] Here, when controlling the display screen to emit white light, it can be done by controlling the LEDs of the display screen to emit white light. In this case, the background of the display screen can be a pure white background. Of course, it is also possible to control the LEDs of the display screen to emit pure colors other than white light. Here, white light is preferred because white light has the best light transmittance.

[0109] The control method provided in this application detects the angle parameter between the first body and the second body of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in different scenarios, it can control the target component of the electronic device to be in working state according to the angle parameter between the first body and the second body, so as to realize the target function corresponding to the target component under the angle parameter. This target function is a function different from the function of the device itself, which can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios and expand the functional range of the folding device.

[0110] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structural composition of the electronic device in this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device includes:

[0111] The system comprises a first body 501, a second body 502, a first sensor 503, and a controller 504. The second body 502 is rotatably connected to the first body 501. The first sensor 503 can be disposed on either the first body 501 or the second body 502 to obtain target parameters, which are used to characterize the angle parameters between the first body 501 and the second body 502.

[0112] Here, the first sensor 503 can be a magnetic field sensor. When the first sensor 503 is disposed on the first body 501, a magnet is disposed on the second body 502; when the first sensor 503 is disposed on the second body 502, a magnet is disposed on the first body 501. By sensing the magnetic field signal of the magnet through the first sensor 503, detection data can be obtained.

[0113] Here, the detection data refers to at least one of the magnetic field strength value, current value, and voltage value corresponding to the magnetic field signal.

[0114] Here, the first sensor 503 can also be an acceleration sensor, including a first acceleration sensor located on the first body 501 and a second acceleration sensor located on the second body 502. Since the gravity generated by the mobile phone in different forms has different gravity components on different acceleration sensors, the target parameters characterizing the angle between the first body 501 and the second body 502 can be obtained through different gravity components.

[0115] The controller 504 is disposed on the first body 501 or the second body 501 and connected to the first sensor 503.

The target component includes a first part located on the first body 501 and a second part located on the second body. When the first part of the target component is in working state and the second part of the target component is in working state, the target function corresponding to the target strategy can be realized by satisfying the angle parameter.

[0117] like Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device also includes a sound-emitting component; if the angle parameter satisfies the first angle condition, the processing component 505 determines that the sound-emitting component of the electronic device is the target component. Here, the sound-emitting component includes a first sound-emitting component 506 located on the first body 501 and a second sound-emitting component 507 located on the second body 502.

[0120] The processing component 505 is used to adjust the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves corresponding to the first set of sound wave signals and the second set of sound wave signals, so that the two sets of sound waves vibrate the air in the spatial range corresponding to the angle parameter, forming an airflow, so as to realize the heat dissipation function corresponding to the target strategy.

[0121] Here, the processing component 505 only needs to adjust the phase difference between the two sets of sound waves so that the phase difference is different at different time points to achieve air movement. This can be combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0122] In a preferred embodiment, if the electrical energy parameter received by the electronic device is greater than or equal to the electrical energy threshold, the controller 504 can also control the angle parameters of the first body 501 and the second body 502 to meet the first angle condition.

If the angle parameter satisfies the second angle condition, the processing component 505 determines that the touchscreen of the electronic device is the target component, the touchscreen including a first screen 508 located on the first body 501 and a second screen 509 located on the second body 502;

[0128] In the preferred solution, such as Figure 8As shown, the electronic device also includes an image acquisition component. If the angle parameter satisfies a third angle condition, the processing component 505 determines that the image acquisition component 510 and at least a portion of the display screen of the electronic device are the target component; the image acquisition component 510 may be one or more, located in the first body 501 and / or the second body 502;

[0129] Here, the image acquisition component 510 may specifically be a front-facing camera located on the same side as the display screen 500 of the electronic device. At least a portion of the display screen, which is part of the target component, may be located on a different body from the image acquisition component, which is another part of the target component. For example, if the image acquisition component, which is part of the target component, is located on the first body 501, then at least a portion of the display screen, which is another part of the target component, is located on the second body 502. This ensures that the image acquisition component captures the image displayed on the display screen.

[0130] The controller 504 is used to control at least a portion of the display screen 500 to display a target image based on a target strategy, and to control the image acquisition unit 510 to acquire the target image of the display screen 500 of the electronic device to obtain the first image parameters of the display screen 500.

[0131] The processing component 505 is used to extract the display parameters of the display screen 500 from the first image parameters; and to compare the display parameters with the preset display parameters of the display screen 500; if the comparison result indicates that the display screen 500 has a color cast, the color output parameters of the display screen 500 are adjusted.
