[0002] In related art, a rollable screen phone is the size of a normal phone in its normal state. However, when the phone is rolled and extended, the entire display can be enlarged. However, one side of the rollable screen phone is required for the screen to curl, leaving no bezel on the curled side. Furthermore, since the back of the screen is provided with a copper foil layer, which acts as a shield, the antenna of the rollable screen phone is installed on three sides of the phone. The antenna cannot be installed on the curled side, which affects the antenna size and reduces the antenna's receiving area. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application aims to provide an electronic device, a control method and a readable storage medium, which at least solve one of the problems that the border on one side of the mobile phone screen that can be curled cannot be used as an antenna, thereby affecting the size of the antenna and reducing the receiving area of the antenna.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including:

[0006] Shell assembly;

[0007] The screen module includes a first display portion and a second display portion, wherein the first display portion is disposed on the housing assembly and the second display portion is connected to the first display portion and can be switched between a rolled state and an unfolded state;

[0008] The first antenna module is opposite to the second display portion and can be rolled or unfolded along with the second display portion.

[0009] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for an electronic device. The control method is used for the electronic device according to the first aspect, and the control method includes:

[0010] Based on the signal strength of the area where the electronic device is located, the second display portion is controlled to be unfolded or rolled up to control the unfolding of the first antenna module.

[0011] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a readable storage medium having a program or instruction stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the control method of the electronic device in the second aspect.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes a housing assembly, a screen module, and a first antenna module. The screen module includes a first display portion and a second display portion, the first display portion being disposed on the housing assembly to facilitate mounting of the first display portion. The second display portion is connected to the first display portion and is capable of switching between a curled state and an unfolded state, allowing the second display portion to expand or contract relative to the first display portion, thereby changing the display area of the screen module, facilitating user adjustment of the display area of the screen module and enhancing the user experience. The first antenna module is opposed to the second display portion and is capable of curling or expanding with the second display portion. Consequently, when the second display portion moves, the first antenna module can move with the second display portion, enabling the first antenna module to transmit and receive signals on the second display portion.

[0035] The following combination Figures 1 to 14 The electronic device 100, control method, control device and readable storage medium according to embodiments of the present application are described.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an electronic device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application includes a housing assembly 110, a screen module 120, and a first antenna module 130. The screen module 120 includes a first display portion 122 and a second display portion 124. The first display portion 122 is disposed on the housing assembly 110, and the second display portion 124 is connected to the first display portion 122 and can switch between a rolled state and an unfolded state. The first antenna module 130 is opposite to the second display portion 124 and can be rolled or unfolded with the second display portion 124.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 includes a housing assembly 110, a screen module 120, and a first antenna module 130. The screen module 120 includes a first display portion 122 and a second display portion 124. The first display portion 122 is disposed on the housing assembly 110 to facilitate mounting of the first display portion 122. The second display portion 124 is connected to the first display portion 122 and can switch between a rolled-up state and an unfolded state, allowing the second display portion 124 to expand or contract relative to the first display portion 122, thereby changing the display area of the screen module 120. This facilitates user adjustment of the display area of the screen module 120 and enhances the user experience. The first antenna module 130 is opposite to the second display portion 124 and can be rolled or unfolded with the second display portion 124. Consequently, when the second display portion 124 moves, the first antenna module 130 can move with the second display portion 124, allowing the first antenna module 130 to transmit and receive signals on the second display portion 124.

[0038] According to the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by providing a first antenna module 130 on the second display portion 124 that can move with it, the second display portion 124 can receive and transmit signals, thereby increasing the area of the antenna of the electronic device 100 for receiving signals, improving the signal strength, and increasing the signal receiving capability.

[0039] Furthermore, compared to the existing rollable screen, in which the rollable part needs to be rolled and stretched and therefore no antenna is designed, the present application provides a first antenna module 130 that can be rolled or unfolded along with the second display part 124. When the antenna signal is weak, the second display part 124 is unfolded, and the first antenna module 130 can also be unfolded accordingly, so that the first antenna module 130 can form the function of transmitting and receiving signals to the outside, thereby increasing the signal receiving capability.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first antenna module 130 is disposed on a side of the second display portion 124 facing the interior of the housing assembly 110 and arranged along the width direction of the second display portion 124 .

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the first antenna module 130 is arranged on the side of the second display portion 124 facing the interior of the shell assembly 110, and is arranged along the width direction of the second display portion 124 to achieve the installation of the first antenna module 130, and along the width direction of the second display portion 124 is conducive to the first antenna module 130 following the second display to bend or unfold, so that when the second display portion 124 is unfolded, the first antenna module 130 can receive and transmit signals.

[0042] Specifically, when the second display unit 124 is in a curled state, the first antenna module 130 of the curled part of the second display unit 124 is in a curled state, hiding under the main antenna. At this time, the first antenna module 130 is in a suspended and inactive state. When the second display unit 124 is in a stretched state, the first antenna module 130 is also in a stretched working state. The first antenna module 130 is attached to the back of the second display unit 124 with acrylic double-sided tape and moves with the curling movement of the second display unit 124. When the second display unit 124 is unfolded, the first antenna module 130 follows and unfolds. After unfolding, the first antenna module 130 is not covered by the screen, so the first antenna module 130 is in a state where it can receive and transmit signals.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first antenna module 130 is a flexible antenna module.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the first antenna module 130 is a flexible antenna module. Since the flexible part is soft and bendable, it is easy to bend and unfold. Therefore, the first antenna module 130 is set as a flexible antenna module, so that the first antenna module 130 can be bent or unfolded together with the second display part 124 to ensure that the first antenna module 130 can receive the transmission signal after the second display part 124 is unfolded.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first antenna module 130 includes a first antenna. The first antenna is a copper antenna in a sheet shape and is disposed along a side of the second display portion 124 facing the interior of the housing assembly 110 .

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the first antenna module 130 includes a first antenna. The first antenna is a copper antenna in a sheet shape, so that the copper antenna can receive and transmit signals. The first antenna is arranged along the side of the second display portion 124 facing the interior of the shell assembly 110 to facilitate the installation of the first antenna. The copper antenna can support the second display portion 124, thereby protecting the second display portion 124 from damage caused by external forces during the curling process. This can improve the strength of the second display portion 124 and extend its service life.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the first antenna is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.5 mm.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the first antenna is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.5 mm, so that the first antenna within this range can support the second display portion 124, thereby protecting the second display portion 124, improving the strength and service life of the second display portion 124, and at the same time ensuring that the first antenna can bend and unfold stably following the second display portion 124.

[0049] Specifically, the thickness of the first antenna is 0.3 mm.

[0050] Specifically, the thickness of the first antenna is 0.5 mm.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes a control board, a plurality of first contacts 150, and a second contact 160. The control board is disposed within the housing assembly 110; the plurality of first contacts 150 are disposed on the control board, corresponding to a plurality of antenna frequency bands; and the second contact 160 is electrically connected to the first antenna module 130 and can be connected to one of the plurality of first contacts 150.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 further includes a control board, a plurality of first contacts 150 and a second contact 160. The control board is arranged in the shell assembly 110 to realize the installation of the control board. A plurality of first contacts 150 are arranged on the control board, corresponding to a plurality of antenna frequency bands, so that the plurality of first contacts 150 can correspond to different antenna frequency bands. The second contact 160 is electrically connected to the first antenna module 130 and is connected to one of the plurality of first contacts 150. Then, by connecting the second contact 160 to different first contacts 150, the first antenna module 130 can be applied to signals of more frequency bands, thereby improving the receiving area of the antenna and improving the receiving power and efficiency of the antenna.

[0053] Specifically, the first antenna module 130 uses a lapped antenna that can switch between different antenna frequency bands, primarily to increase the antenna receiving area. Since the larger the antenna receiving area, the better the antenna signal, when the antenna area is 1 square millimeter, the signal reception is 1 kb / s, and when the antenna area is 10 square millimeters, the signal reception is 10 kb / s. Therefore, when in use, the control panel of the electronic device 100 can adapt the antenna frequency band of the second display unit 124 by identifying the antenna frequency band used in the current environment (such as band 20, band 21). By identifying the currently used antenna frequency band, the control panel controls the second contact 160 to electrically connect to the first antenna module 130, and can connect to one of the multiple contacts, thereby increasing the antenna receiving area, improving the antenna receiving power and efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, the control panel of the electronic device 100 can use an antenna frequency band by identifying the current environment, where the antenna frequency band includes any one of band 1 to band 45 .

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes a driving component 170 , which is electrically connected to the control board. The control board can control the driving component 170 to drive the second display portion 124 to expand or roll up according to the signal strength.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 further includes a driving component 170, which is electrically connected to the control board. The control board can control the driving component 170 to drive the second display portion 124 to unfold or curl according to the signal strength. Since the environment in which the antenna of the electronic device 100 is located is different during use, the strength of the antenna is also different. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the environment where the antenna is located is poor, the control board can control the driving component 170 to drive the second display portion 124 to fully unfold; Figure 7and Figure 8 As shown, when the environment where the antenna is located is very bad, the control board can control the driving component 170 to drive the second display portion 124 to a semi-extended state; Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, when the environment in which the antenna is located becomes better, that is, when the signal strength is better, the control board can control the driving component 170 to drive the second display unit 124 to curl up; therefore, by controlling the state of the second display unit 124 through the signal strength, it can be ensured that the electronic device 100 has a signal of sufficient strength in any environment.

[0057] Specifically, if the electronic device 100 finds that the antenna environment is poor (such as below -90db) during use, the control panel can control the driving component 170 to expand the second display unit 124. The expansion scale can be controlled by identifying the strength of the current antenna environment. When the antenna environment is very poor, the second display unit 124 will be fully extended. When the antenna environment is slightly poor, the second display unit 124 will be in a semi-extended state.

[0058] Specifically, the driving component 170 is a stepping motor.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 further includes a second antenna module 180 and a third antenna module 140. The second antenna module 180 is arranged along the width direction of the first display portion 122; the third antenna module 140 is arranged along the length direction of the first display portion 122.

[0060] In this embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 further includes a second antenna module 180 and a third antenna module 140. The second antenna module 180 is arranged along the width of the first display portion 122 to facilitate installation and fixation of the second antenna module 180. The third antenna module 140 is arranged along the length of the first display portion 122 to facilitate installation and fixation of the third antenna module 140. This allows the second antenna module 180 and the third antenna module 140 to receive and transmit signals on the first display portion 122, thereby improving the stability of signal reception for the electronic device 100.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 is a mobile phone, a computer monitor, a tablet computer, or a game console.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 is a mobile phone, a computer monitor, a tablet computer or a game console. By setting a first antenna module 130 that can follow the movement of the second display portion 124, the second display portion 124 can receive and transmit signals, thereby increasing the area of the antenna of the mobile phone, computer monitor, tablet computer or game console that receives signals, improving the signal strength, and increasing the signal receiving capability.

[0063] The present application also provides a method for controlling an electronic device, which is used for the above-mentioned electronic device. Figure 11 A flowchart of a method for controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method for controlling an electronic device specifically includes:

[0064] Step 202 : Based on the signal strength of the area where the electronic device is located, control the second display portion to expand or roll up, so as to control the expansion or roll up of the first antenna module.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the signal strength of the area where the electronic device is located, the second display portion is controlled to expand or curl up, thereby controlling the expansion or curling of the first antenna module. When the antenna's environment is poor, the control board can control the driving component to drive the second display portion to fully expand; when the antenna's environment is very poor, the control board can control the driving component to drive the second display portion to an extended state; when the antenna's environment is good and there is no need to expand the first antenna module to enhance the signal, the second display component can be controlled to curl up, thereby driving the first antenna module to curl up. Therefore, by controlling the state of the second display portion based on signal strength, it can be ensured that the electronic device has a signal of sufficient strength in any environment.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 12 A second flowchart of a method for controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method for controlling an electronic device further includes:

[0067] Step 302: Based on the signal strength of the area where the electronic device is located, the second display portion is controlled to be unfolded or rolled up, and based on the signal strength, the unfolded size of the first antenna module is controlled.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the expanded size of the first antenna module is controlled based on the signal strength, so that the expanded size of the first antenna module can be adjusted accordingly according to the signal strength. The expanded size is proportional to the signal strength, so that when the signal strength is large, the expanded size of the first antenna module can be large; when the signal strength is small, the expanded size of the first antenna module can be small. The expanded size of the first antenna module is controlled to be adjusted accordingly according to the signal strength, thereby ensuring the signal strength of the first antenna module and ensuring the stability of the first antenna module in receiving and transmitting signals.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 13 The third flowchart of the method for controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method for controlling an electronic device further includes:

[0070] Step 402 , based on the signal strength in the area where the electronic device is located, controlling the second display portion to expand or roll up, thereby controlling the expansion or roll up of the first antenna module;

[0071] Step 404 : Based on the signal frequency band of the area where the electronic device is located, control the second contact of the electronic device to connect to a first contact corresponding to the signal frequency band among the plurality of first contacts of the electronic device.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the signal frequency band of the area where the electronic device is located, the second contact of the electronic device is controlled to connect to the first contact of the multiple first contacts of the electronic device corresponding to the signal frequency band. This allows the multiple first contacts to correspond to different antenna frequency bands. The second contact is electrically connected to the first antenna module and can be connected to one of the multiple contacts. By connecting the second contact to different first contacts, the first antenna module can use signals in more frequency bands.

[0073] An embodiment of the present application also provides a control device for an electronic device, which is used for an electronic device as in the first aspect. The control device includes a control unit for controlling the second display portion to expand or curl based on the signal strength of the area where the electronic device is located, so as to control the expansion of the first antenna module.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present application, the second display unit is controlled to expand or roll up based on the signal strength in the area where the electronic device is located, thereby controlling the deployment of the first antenna module. When the antenna environment is poor, the control board can control the driving component to fully deploy the second display unit. When the antenna environment is very poor, the control board can control the driving component to extend the second display unit. Therefore, by controlling the state of the second display unit based on signal strength, it can ensure that the electronic device has a sufficient signal strength in any environment.
