[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electronic device structures, specifically to a touch component and an electronic device system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of touch technology, touch-screen devices in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets have become popular with consumers due to their intuitive operation and input interfaces. However, while touchscreens offer convenient software operation, they cannot provide physical tactile feedback, which to some extent hinders the improvement of the user experience.

[0071] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the present application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0072] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0073] As used herein, "electronic device" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, means configured to receive / transmit communication signals via a wired connection (such as via the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), digital cable, direct cable connection, and / or another data connection / network) and / or via a wireless interface (e.g., for cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), digital television networks such as DVB-H networks, satellite networks, AM-FM broadcast transmitters, and / or another communication terminal). A communication terminal configured to communicate via a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal" or "wireless terminal".

[0074] Or “mobile terminal”. Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular phones; personal communication system (PCS) terminals that can combine cellular radiotelephone with data processing, fax, and data communication capabilities; PDAs that may include radiotelephones, pagers, Internet / intranet access, web browsers, notepads, calendars, and / or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and / or handheld receivers or other electronic devices that include radiotelephone transceivers.

[0075] A mobile phone is an electronic device equipped with a cellular communication module.

[0076] It should be noted that the electronic devices in this application mainly refer to electronic devices with touch screens, such as those that utilize touch screens to achieve intuitive operation and input interfaces. Specifically, the electronic devices in this application can be smart devices with lens components, such as tablet computers, mobile phones, cameras, personal computers, laptops, in-vehicle equipment, and wearable devices.

[0077] 55. Touchscreens can be categorized into capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens based on their touch sensing method. Capacitive touchscreens primarily utilize a finger or conductive object to touch the screen, causing a change in the equivalent capacitance of the touch electrodes. The sensing circuit then determines the location of the touch based on this change in capacitance. Resistive capacitive touchscreens primarily work by pressing on the screen, changing the resistance value at a corresponding location. The sensing circuit then determines the location of the touchscreen contact based on this change in resistance.

[0078] Understandably, touchscreens offer great convenience for operating and inputting electronic devices, but they cannot provide physical haptic feedback. However, in scenarios where electronic devices require 60% haptic feedback, other hardware products are often needed to complement them. Based on this, the applicant is exploring using electronic devices as a platform to achieve core functions, in conjunction with one or more different forms of physical controls, to realize the haptic user experience found in other devices.

[0079] Touch component 100

[0080] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the touch component 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the touch component 100 in the embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the touch component 100 when it is used in conjunction with the electronic device 800 in the embodiment.

[0081] The touch component 100 can be used on an electronic device 800 with a touch screen 810, so that the electronic device 800 can provide operation and input with a tactile user experience. It is understood that the electronic device 800 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device, etc. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example for illustrative purposes.

[0082] The touch component 100 may include a positioning member 110 and a knob 120. The knob 120 is disposed on the positioning member 110 and can rotate relative to the positioning member 110 to achieve gear selection by rotation. The touch component 100 achieves the gear selection function by setting the knob 120 to rotate relative to the positioning member 110. The positioning member 110 is used to assemble the touch component 100 onto the electronic device 800 so that the knob 120 can act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800, thereby realizing the function of a physical knob.

[0083] The positioning component 110 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800, thereby enabling the detachable assembly of the touch component 100 and the electronic device 800. When the touch component 100 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the knob 120 can act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 to achieve touch operation. That is, rotation of the knob 120 relative to the positioning component 110 is considered as rotation relative to the touch screen 810. At the same time, the knob 120 acts on the touch screen 810 and forms a corresponding motion trajectory on the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation, thereby realizing the gear selection function.

[0084] In one embodiment, the touch component 100 may include a first magnetic element 130 and a second magnetic element 140, which cooperate to position the rotation angle of the knob 120. The first magnetic element 130 is provided on one of the positioning member 110 and the knob 120, and the second magnetic element 140 is provided on the other. Multiple first magnetic elements 130 may be provided. When the knob 120 rotates relative to the positioning member 110, the second magnetic element 140 can attract a portion of the multiple first magnetic elements 130 to position the rotation angle of the knob 120.

[0085] Taking the example of the first magnetic element 130 being disposed on the positioning element 110 and the second magnetic element 140 being disposed on the knob 120, the knob 120 has a rotation axis L. It can be understood that the rotation axis L is a virtual line and not a structural line on the touch component 100. The rotation axis L can be used to illustrate the center line of rotation of the knob 120, so as to facilitate the corresponding description below.

[0086] Several first magnetic elements 130 are arranged around the rotation axis L of the knob 120. During the rotation of the knob 120, the second magnetic element 140 can face and attract some of the first magnetic elements 130, thereby positioning the knob 120 at a specific angle.

[0087] For example, there are four first magnetic elements 130 evenly distributed around the periphery of the rotation axis L, and one second magnetic element 140. When the knob 120 is in its initial position, the second magnetic element 140 is opposite to and attracts one of the four first magnetic elements 130 to fix the knob 120 in the initial position. When the knob 120 is rotated relative to the positioning member 110 under the action of an external force, for every 90° rotation of the knob 120, the second magnetic element 140 can be opposite to and attract one of the four first magnetic elements 130 to position the rotation angle of the knob 120. That is, the cooperation of the four first magnetic elements 130 and the one second magnetic element 140 allows the knob 120 to achieve the function of selecting four rotation positions.

[0088] Similarly, when there are eight first magnetic elements 130 evenly distributed around the rotation axis L, and one second magnetic element 140 is provided, the second magnetic element 140 can be made to face and attract one of the eight first magnetic elements 130 every 45° rotation of the knob 120, so that the knob 120 can be positioned when it rotates a certain angle.

[0089] Furthermore, multiple second magnetic elements 140 can be provided, and these multiple second magnetic elements 140 can be evenly distributed around the periphery of the rotation axis L. During the rotation of the knob 120, the multiple second magnetic elements 140 can respectively face and attract a portion of the first magnetic elements 130, thereby positioning the knob 120 at a specific angle. The fact that the multiple second magnetic elements 140 face and attract a portion of the first magnetic elements 130 ensures that the knob 120 can fit tightly with the positioning element 110 at the aforementioned angle, preventing it from falling off. Moreover, providing multiple second magnetic elements 140 provides a stronger attractive force and a better tactile feel during the rotation of the knob 120.

[0090] In this embodiment, one of the first magnetic component 130 and the second magnetic component 140 can be a magnet, the other can be a magnet or made of a ferromagnetic material that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0091] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of the first magnetic element 130 and the second magnetic element 140 in some embodiments of this application. Taking an example of 8 first magnetic elements 130 and 4 second magnetic elements 140, the 8 first magnetic elements 130 and 4 second magnetic elements 140 are all evenly distributed around the periphery of the rotation axis L. The angle between two adjacent first magnetic elements 130 and the rotation axis L is 45°, and the angle between two adjacent second magnetic elements 140 and the rotation axis L is 90°. Of course, when the number of first magnetic elements 130 and second magnetic elements 140 changes, the angles between two adjacent first magnetic elements 130 and the rotation axis L, and the angles between two adjacent second magnetic elements 140 and the rotation axis L, change accordingly, which will not be elaborated further.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, the four second magnetic components 140 are labeled 140a, 140b, 140c, and 140d, respectively; and the eight first magnetic components 130 are labeled 130a to 130h, respectively. When the knob 120 is in its initial position, the correspondence between the second magnetic components 140 and the first magnetic components 130 is defined as follows: 140a and 130a, 140b and 130c, 140c and 130e, 140d and 130g are opposite to each other and attract each other. When the knob 120 is rotated 45° clockwise relative to the positioning component 110 in the S direction, the correspondence between the second magnetic components 140 and the first magnetic components 130 is defined as follows: 140a and 130h, 140b and 130b, 140c and 130d, 140d and 130f are opposite to each other and attract each other. As the rotation of knob 120 clockwise by 45° relative to positioning member 110 continues, the four second magnetic members 140 are respectively opposite to and attracted to a portion of the eight first magnetic members 130 to position the rotation angle of knob 120.

[0093] Optionally, the first magnetic element 130 has a first distance L1 between it and the rotation axis L, and the second magnetic element 140 has a second distance L2 between it and the rotation axis L, with L1 and L2 being substantially the same.

[0094] See again Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the knob 120 has a contact 121, which can rotate with the knob 120 relative to the positioning member 110. That is, the rotation angle of the contact 121 relative to the positioning member 110 can be used to characterize the rotation angle of the knob 120 relative to the positioning member 110.

[0095] When the touch component 100 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the contact point 121 contacts the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation. In other words, by applying external force to the knob 120, the contact point 121 forms a corresponding movement trajectory on the touch screen 810, thereby achieving touch operation and providing the electronic device 800 with a physical tactile feedback experience. Furthermore, the touch component 100, which provides physical tactile feedback to the electronic device 800, is a passive control, requiring no battery or circuit design to achieve a physical tactile feedback experience. Its overall structure is simple, and its manufacturing cost is low. In addition, the low cost, passive nature, and ease of fabrication of the touch component 100 allow for low-cost model creation during design verification and provide a more realistic tactile feel.

[0096] The positioning member 110 has a first surface 110a and a second surface 110b that are disposed opposite to each other, and the knob 120 is disposed on the first surface 110a. Specifically, when the touch component 100 is assembled on the electronic device 800, the second surface 110b is the surface of the positioning member 110 that is close to the touch screen 810, and the first surface 110a is the surface of the positioning member 110 that is away from the touch screen 810.

[0097] In other words, the knob 120 is located on the first surface 110a of the positioning member 110, and the second surface 110b is located on the side of the first surface 110a away from the knob 120.

[0098] Furthermore, the knob 120 is provided with a protrusion 122, which is located on the side of the knob 120 near the positioning member 110 and extends to one side of the second surface 110b of the positioning member 110. The contact point 121 is formed on the end face of the protrusion 122 for contacting the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation. In other words, the protrusion 122 extends from the surface of the knob 120 near the positioning member 110 to the side of the positioning member 110 near the touch screen 810.

[0099] The knob 120 has an adsorption surface 120a and a knob surface 120b disposed opposite to each other. The adsorption surface 120a is disposed adjacent to the first surface 110a, and the knob surface 120b is located on the side of the adsorption surface 120a away from the first surface 110a. In other words, the knob surface 120a is configured to receive external force to drive the knob 120 to rotate relative to the positioning member 110, and the adsorption surface 120a is configured to form an adsorption connection structure with the first surface 110a to prevent the knob 120 from separating and falling off from the positioning member 110.

[0100] The protrusion 122 extends from the adsorption surface 120a to one side of the second surface 110b of the positioning member 110, and the contact point 121 is formed on the end face of the protrusion 122 facing away from the adsorption surface 120a.

[0101] As mentioned above, the knob 120 and the positioning member 110 are magnetically connected via a first magnetic member 130 and a second magnetic member 140, preventing them from separating and falling apart. Therefore, one of the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 can be located on the first surface 110a, and the other on the adsorption surface 120a. Figure 2 As shown, the first magnetic element 130 is disposed on the first surface 110a, and the second magnetic element 140 is disposed on the adsorption surface 120a, but is not limited thereto.

[0102] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch component 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A structurally exploded view of the touch component 100 in the embodiment. The protrusion 122 on the knob 120 passes through the positioning member 110.

[0103] Specifically, the positioning member 110 has a track 111 that passes through the first surface 110a and the second surface 110b, and the protrusion 122 can rotate relative to the positioning member 110 along the track 111. That is, the protrusion 122 passes through the track 111 and can move along the track 111 to rotate relative to the positioning member 110.

[0104] The track 111 can divide the positioning member 110 into an adsorption part 112 and a positioning part 113 that are spaced apart. The positioning part 113 surrounds the adsorption part 112 to position the positioning member 110 on the touch screen 810. The adsorption part 112 is used to position the knob 120.

[0105] Optionally, a connecting portion 114 is provided between the adsorption portion 112 and the positioning portion 113, and the connecting portion 114 is located between the starting end and the ending end of the track 111. The adsorption portion 112 and the positioning portion 113 are connected by the connecting portion 114 to form a positioning member 110 with an integral structure.

[0106] In one embodiment, one of the knob 120 and the positioning member 110 has a shaft portion 115, and the other has a shaft hole 116. The shaft portion 115 is inserted into the shaft hole 116 so that the knob 120 can rotate relative to the positioning member 110. That is, the knob 120 and the positioning member 110 are rotatably connected by the shaft portion 115 engaging with the shaft hole 116. Further, the shaft portion 115 is formed on one of the first surface 110a and the adsorption surface 120a, and the shaft hole 116 is formed on the other of the first surface 110a and the adsorption surface 120a. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shaft portion 115 is disposed on the positioning member 110 and located on the adsorption portion 112. The adsorption portion 112 has a plurality of slots surrounding the shaft portion 115 for assembling the first magnetic member 130 or the second magnetic member 140. The shaft hole 116 is disposed on the knob 120 and correspondingly disposed on the shaft portion 115. The knob 120 has a plurality of slots surrounding the shaft hole 116 for assembling the first magnetic member 130 or the second magnetic member 140. Of course, it is understood that when the shaft portion 115 is disposed on the knob 120 and the shaft hole 116 is disposed on the positioning member 110, the above structural correspondence can be adaptively adjusted, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0107] Of course, in other embodiments, one of the adsorption part 112 and the knob 120 has a protrusion, and the other has an annular groove (not shown in the figure). The protrusion is inserted into the annular groove so that the knob 120 can rotate relative to the positioning member 110. That is, the knob 120 and the positioning member 110 are rotatably connected through the protrusion and the annular groove. The annular groove can be arranged around the rotation axis L. In addition, in some embodiments, the knob 120 can be embedded in the first surface 110a of the positioning member 110 and can rotate around the rotation axis L on the first surface 110a.

[0108] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the touch component 100 in some other embodiments of this application. The plane containing the first surface 110a of the positioning member 110 is defined as the projection plane. The projection of the protrusion 122 onto the projection plane is located outside the projection of the positioning member 110 onto the projection plane. That is, the protrusion 122 is located outside the positioning member 110 and can rotate around the positioning member 110. In this case, the positioning member 110 can be embedded in the suction surface 120a of the knob 120 and can rotate relative to the knob 120. Of course, the knob 120 and the positioning member 110 can also be rotatably connected through other connection methods.

[0109] As mentioned above, the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 can be a capacitive touch screen or a resistive touch screen. When the touch screen 810 is a resistive touch screen, the knob 120 can cause the contact point 121 to act on the touch screen 810 under the action of external force to realize the rotation touch operation.

[0110] When the touchscreen 810 is a capacitive touchscreen, the knob 120 can be made of a conductive material. When a finger or conductive object touches any position on the knob 120, it is equivalent to the finger or conductive object touching the touchscreen 810, thereby achieving the corresponding touch operation. In order to avoid accidental touches, the positioning element 110 can be made of a non-conductive material.

[0111] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and "third" in the embodiments of this application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0112] Touch component 300

[0113] Please see Figures 8 to 11 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in its initial state in some other embodiments of this application. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in the pressed state in the embodiment. Figure 10 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the touch component 300 and the electronic device 800 in the embodiment. Figure 11 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing the structural breakdown of the touch component 300 in this embodiment. The touch component 300 can be used on an electronic device 800 having a touch screen 810, so that the electronic device 800 can provide operation and input with a tactile user experience. The electronic device 800 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device, etc. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example for illustrative purposes.

[0114] The touch component 300 may include a positioning component 310, a button component 320, and a reset component 330. The positioning component 310 is used to mount the touch component 300 onto the electronic device 800. The button component 320 is disposed on the positioning component 310 and is movable relative to the positioning component 310, allowing the button component 320 to switch between an initial state and a pressed state. In the pressed state, the button component 320 can act on the touchscreen 810 to perform the function of a physical button.

[0115] The positioning component 310 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800, thereby enabling the detachable assembly of the touch component 300 and the electronic device 800. When the touch component 300 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the button component 320 can move relative to the positioning component 310 to act on the touch screen 810 to realize the touch operation of the physical button, that is, to realize the tactile experience of the physical button.

[0116] The reset component 330 is located between the positioning component 310 and the button component 320. On one hand, it can position the button component 320 when no force is applied; on the other hand, it can drive the button component 320 to reset when the force applied to it is removed. Understandably, when the button component 320 is subjected to an external force, it moves relative to the positioning component 310 and moves towards the touchscreen 810 to act on the touchscreen 810, thereby achieving the corresponding touch operation. When the external force is removed, the button component 320 moves away from the touchscreen 810 under the action of the reset component 330 to return to its initial state.

[0117] In the initial state, the button assembly 320 does not act on the touch screen 810. When the force on the button assembly 320 changes from the initial state to the pressing state, it acts on the touch screen 810.

[0118] In summary, the button assembly 320 can move relative to the positioning assembly 310 to switch between an initial state and a pressed state, and the reset assembly 330 can position the button assembly 320 in the initial state. Specifically, when the button assembly 320 is subjected to an external force and changes from the initial state to the pressed state, it can act on the touchscreen 810 to achieve touch operation; when the external force is removed, the reset assembly 330 can return the button assembly 320 from the pressed state to the initial state.

[0119] In other words, the reset component 330 can position the button component 320 in its initial state when it is not under force. When the button component 320 is subjected to force and moves from the initial state to the pressed state, the reset component 330 can generate a restoring force that causes the button component 320 to return to its initial state.

[0120] In one embodiment, the positioning component 310 may include a first positioning member 311 having a receiving groove 311a and a through hole 311b communicating with the receiving groove 311a. The receiving groove 311a is formed on one side of the first positioning member 311, and when the touch component 300 is assembled on the electronic device 800, the opening of the receiving groove 311a faces the touch screen 810.

[0121] The button assembly 320 has a movable member 321 at least partially disposed within a receiving groove 311a. This movable member 321 is configured to receive an external force to move relative to the positioning assembly 310, thereby acting on the touchscreen 810. In other words, the movable member 321 is configured to move under the action of an external force to act on the touchscreen 810. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, when the touch component 300 is assembled on the electronic device 800, the movable member 321 can move relative to the first positioning member 311 under the action of an external force until the movable member 321 directly contacts the touch screen 810, that is, the button component 320 switches from the initial state to the pressed state. When the external force is removed, the movable member 321 separates from the touch screen 810 under the action of the reset component 330, that is, the button component 320 returns to the initial state.

[0122] For example, when all the movable parts 321 are located in the receiving groove 311a, other structures passing through the through hole 311b can apply force to the movable parts 321 so that the movable parts 321 can move relative to the positioning component 310 until they act on the touch screen 810.

[0123] For example, when the movable part 321 is partially disposed in the receiving groove 311a, the other part can be disposed in the through hole 311b to receive external force, thereby enabling the movable part 321 to move relative to the positioning component 310 until it acts on the touch screen 810.

[0124] In one embodiment, a through hole 311b penetrates the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a to connect the receiving groove 311a, and the through hole 311b is disposed opposite to the opening of the receiving groove 311a. The movable member 321 has a main body 321a and a limiting part 321b disposed on the periphery of the main body 321a. The main body 321a is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 311a and is used to receive external force, and the limiting part 321b cooperates with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a to limit the movement stroke of the main body 321a. Specifically, when the movable member 321 returns to its initial state under the action of the reset assembly 330, it can be considered that the movable member 321 and the button assembly 320 have returned to their initial state when the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a.

[0125] When the entire main body 321a is disposed within the receiving groove 311a, the main body 321a and the through hole 311b are positioned opposite each other, and other structures passing through the through hole 311b can apply force to the main body 321a. When only part of the main body 321a is disposed within the receiving groove 311a, another part of the main body 321a can pass through the through hole 311b to receive external forces.

[0126] In one embodiment, the button assembly 320 may further include a pressing member 322, which may have a pressing portion 322a and an abutting portion 322b. The abutting portion 322b is configured to abut against the main body portion 321a, and the pressing portion 322a is located on the side of the abutting portion 322b opposite to the main body portion 321a and is configured to receive external force. When a pressing force is applied to the pressing portion 322a, the pressing member 322 and the movable member 321 move synchronously until the movable member 321 acts on the touch screen 810. When the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 322a is removed, under the action of the reset assembly 330, the movable member 321 and the pressing member 322 move synchronously and separate from the touch screen 810.

[0127] When the entire main body 321a is disposed within the receiving groove 311a, the abutting part 322b passes through the through hole 311b and abuts against the main body 321a. When the main body 321a is partially disposed within the receiving groove 311a, another part of the main body 321a may pass through the through hole 311b, and the abutting part 322b abuts against the end of the main body 321a that passes through the through hole 311b.

[0128] Furthermore, the abutment portion 322b can be a protrusion or a recess formed on the pressing portion 322a. Correspondingly, the end of the main body portion 321a has a structure adapted to the abutment portion 322b to facilitate contact between the abutment portion 322b and the main body portion 321a. For example, the abutment portion 322b can be a protrusion formed on the pressing portion 322a, and the end of the main body portion 321a has a recessed structure adapted to the abutment portion 322b. Alternatively, the abutment portion 322b can be a recessed structure formed on the pressing portion 322a, and the end of the main body portion 321a has a protrusion adapted to the abutment portion 322b. The protrusion can be embedded in the recessed structure to achieve the aforementioned contact.

[0129] In the initial state, the limiting part 321b of the button assembly 320 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a, and the pressing part 322a has a first gap J1 between it and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a.

[0130] When the button assembly 320 is in the pressed state, there is a second gap J2 between the limiting part 321b and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a. The second gap J2 does not exceed the first gap J1.

[0131] Optionally, when the second distance J2 is less than the first distance J1, the gap between the pressing part 322a and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a can be J1-J2 in the pressing state. When the second distance J2 is equal to the first distance J1, the pressing part 322a abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a in the pressing state; in the initial state, the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a.

[0132] In one embodiment, the reset assembly 330 may include a first magnetic element 331 and a second magnetic element 332. One of the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 may be disposed on the button assembly 320, and the other on the positioning assembly 310. A first magnetic force is formed between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 to cause the button assembly 320 to return to its initial state. It is understood that this first magnetic force may be the aforementioned restoring force.

[0133] For example, one of the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 can be a magnet, the other can be a magnet, or it can be made of a ferromagnetic material that can be attracted by a magnet. The first magnetic force is the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332. Figure 2 As shown, the first magnetic element 331 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 331a, and the second magnetic element 332 is disposed on the limiting part 321b. In the initial state, the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 attract each other, and the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a. When the button assembly 320 is subjected to an external force and overcomes the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332, the button assembly 320 switches to the pressed state, and there is a second gap between the limiting part 321b and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a. When the external force on the button assembly 320 is removed, under the action of the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332, the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a, that is, the button assembly 320 switches to the initial state.

[0134] Of course, in other embodiments, the first magnetic force can be the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332. For example, the first magnetic element 331 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 331a, and the second magnetic element 332 is disposed on the pressing part 322a. In this case, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 can position the button assembly 320 in the initial state. The button assembly 320 can be switched to the pressing state by overcoming the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 under the action of external force.

[0135] Please see Figure 12, Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in its initial state in some other embodiments of this application. The reset component 330 may have a first elastic element 333, which is connected to the button component 320 and the positioning component 310 respectively. When pressed, the first elastic element 333 deforms to generate a first elastic force, which can return the button component 320 to its initial state. It can be understood that this first elastic force can be the aforementioned restoring force.

[0136] The first elastic element 333 can be a spring, rubber, silicone, or foam, etc.

[0137] For example, one end of the first elastic member 333 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 331a, and the other end is connected to the pressing part 322a. The first elastic member 333 can support the pressing part 322 so that the button assembly 320 can be positioned in the initial form. When the button assembly 320 is subjected to an external force and overcomes the supporting force of the first elastic member 333, causing the button assembly 320 to switch to the pressing state, the first elastic member 333 deforms to generate a first elastic force. When the external force on the button assembly 320 is removed, the button assembly 320 can switch to the initial state under the action of the first elastic force. Of course, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 333 can also be sleeved on the main body 321a of the movable member 321, and the opposite ends of the first elastic member 333 can respectively abut against the pressing part 322 and the positioning component 310.

[0138] For example, the first elastic member 333 can be disposed within the receiving groove 311a, with one end connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 331a and the other end connected to the limiting part 321b. The first elastic member 333 can support the movable member 321 so that the button assembly 320 can be positioned in its initial state. When the button assembly 320 is subjected to an external force and overcomes the supporting force of the first elastic member 333, causing the button assembly 320 to switch to the pressed state, the first elastic member 333 deforms to generate a first elastic force. When the external force on the button assembly 320 is removed, the button assembly 320 can switch back to its initial state under the action of the first elastic force. Of course, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 333 can also be sleeved on the main body 321a of the movable member 321, with the opposite ends of the first elastic member 333 respectively abutting against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 331a and the limiting part 321b of the movable member 321.

[0139] like Figure 10As shown, when the touch component 300 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the movable member 321 can move relative to the receiving groove 331a under the action of an external force until the movable member 321 contacts the touch screen 810 to perform a press touch operation. The reset component 330 can position the movable member 321 in its initial state when it is not under force. When the movable member 321 is under force and moves from the initial state to the pressed state, the movable member 321 contacts the touch screen 810, at which time the reset component 330 can generate a restoring force to make the movable member 321 return to its initial state.

[0140] In the initial state, the movable part 321 of the button assembly 320 is spaced apart from the touch screen 810, meaning that the movable part 321 does not act on the touch screen 810. In the pressed state, the movable part 321 comes into contact with the touch screen 810, meaning that the movable part 321 acts directly on the touch screen 810.

[0141] As mentioned above, the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 can be a capacitive touch screen or a resistive touch screen. When the touch screen 810 is a resistive touch screen, the button assembly 320 can cause the movable part 321 to abut against the touch screen 810 under the action of external force to realize the press touch operation.

[0142] When the touchscreen 810 is a capacitive touchscreen, the button assembly 320 can be made of a conductive material. When a finger or conductive object touches any position of the button assembly 320, it is equivalent to the finger or conductive object touching the touchscreen 810, thereby realizing the corresponding press touch operation. In order to avoid accidental touches, the positioning assembly 310 can be made of a non-conductive material.

[0143] Please see Figures 13 to 16 , Figure 13 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in some other embodiments of this application. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 A structural breakdown diagram of the touch component 300 from another perspective in the embodiment. Figure 15 yes Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in its initial state in the embodiment. Figure 16 yes Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the touch component 300 in the pressed state in this embodiment. The difference between the touch component 300 in this embodiment and the touch component 300 in the previous embodiments is that the positioning component 310 may include a first positioning element 311 and a second positioning element 312.

[0144] The receiving groove 311a is formed on one side of the first positioning member 311, and the second positioning member 312 covers the opening of the receiving groove 311a. The first positioning member 311 can be referred to the specific description in the foregoing embodiments, and therefore will not be repeated here. The second positioning member 312 cooperates with the first positioning member 311 to limit the movement stroke of the movable member 321.

[0145] Specifically, in the initial state, the limiting part 321b of the movable member 321 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a, and the movable member 321 and the second positioning member 312 are spaced apart.

[0146] When the button assembly 320 is pressed, the limiting portion 321b of the movable member 321 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a, and the movable member 321 abuts against the second positioning member 312. Thus, the movement stroke of the movable member 321 can be limited by the receiving groove 311a provided on the first positioning member 311 and the second positioning member 312 covering the opening of the receiving groove 311a.

[0147] In one embodiment, the reset assembly 330 may have a second elastic element (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the button assembly 320 and the second positioning element 312. When pressed, the second elastic element deforms to generate a second elastic force, which returns the button assembly 320 to its initial state. It is understood that this second elastic force can be the aforementioned restoring force.

[0148] The second elastic element can be a spring, rubber, silicone, or foam, etc.

[0149] For example, a second elastic member may be disposed within a receiving groove 311a, with one end connected to or abutting against the movable member 321 and the other end connected to or abutting against the second positioning member 312. The second elastic member can support the movable member 321 so that the button assembly 320 can be positioned in its initial state. When the button assembly 320 is subjected to an external force and overcomes the supporting force of the second elastic member, causing the button assembly 320 to switch to a pressed state, the second elastic member deforms to generate a second elastic force. When the external force on the button assembly 320 is removed, the button assembly 320 can switch back to its initial state under the action of the second elastic force. Of course, in other embodiments, the second elastic member may also be sleeved on the main body 321a of the movable member 321, and one end of the second elastic member may abut against the second positioning member 312.

[0150] In one embodiment, the reset assembly 330 may include a third magnetic element 335 and a fourth magnetic element 336. One of the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 may be disposed on the button assembly 320, and the other may be disposed on the second positioning element 312. A second magnetic force is formed between the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 to cause the button assembly 320 to return to its initial state. It is understood that this second magnetic force may be the aforementioned restoring force.

[0151] In this design, both the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 can be magnets, and the second magnetic force is the magnetic repulsion between the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336. For example, the third magnetic element 335 is located at the end of the movable element 321 near the second positioning element 312, and the fourth magnetic element 336 is located on the side of the second positioning element 312 near the movable element 321. The magnetic repulsion between the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 allows the button assembly 320 to be positioned in its initial state, i.e., the movable element 321 and the second positioning element 312 are spaced apart. The button assembly 320 can be switched to a pressed state by external force to overcome the magnetic repulsion between the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336. At this time, the movable element 321 abuts against the second positioning element 312.

[0152] Optionally, the third magnetic component 335 can be disposed on the end of the movable component 321 near the second positioning component 312 by means of embedding, snapping, or bonding, and the fourth magnetic component 336 can be disposed on the side of the second positioning component 312 near the movable component 321 by means of embedding, snapping, or bonding. Preferably, the third magnetic component 335 is embedded in one end of the movable component 321 and does not protrude from the end face of the movable component 321; the fourth magnetic component 336 is embedded in the second positioning component 312 and does not protrude from the surface of the second positioning component 312.

[0153] Furthermore, when the touch component 300 is assembled on the electronic device 800, the second positioning member 312 is used to contact the touch screen 810. In the pressed state, the movable member 321 can abut against the second positioning member 312, that is, the movable member 321 can act on the touch screen 810 through the second positioning member 312 to realize the press touch operation.

[0154] As mentioned above, when the touchscreen 810 is a resistive touchscreen, the movable member 321 can abut against the second positioning member 312 under external force, thereby causing the second positioning member 312 to act on the touchscreen 810 to realize a press touch operation. The second positioning member 312 can undergo a certain deformation under the action of the movable member 321 so that the touchscreen 810 can respond to the touch operation. Of course, in other embodiments, when the touchscreen 810 is a resistive touchscreen, the movable member 321 is provided with a protrusion that can pass through the second positioning member 312; in the press state, the protrusion abuts against the touchscreen 810.

[0155] When the touchscreen 810 is a capacitive touchscreen, the button assembly 320 and the second positioning member 312 can be made of conductive material. In the pressed state, the movable member 321 abuts against the second positioning member 312. Touching any position of the button assembly 320 with a finger or conductive object is equivalent to touching the touchscreen 810 with a finger or conductive object, thus achieving the corresponding press touch operation. To avoid accidental touches, the first positioning member 311 can be made of non-conductive material.

[0156] As mentioned above, the movable member 321 can move within the receiving groove 311a in a direction that approaches or moves away from the second positioning member 312, and the second positioning member 312 cooperates with the first positioning member 311 to limit the movement stroke of the movable member 321. At least one limiting part 321b is provided on the periphery of the main body portion 321a of the movable member 321. This limiting part 321b serves two purposes: firstly, it limits the movement stroke of the movable member 321, and secondly, it prevents the movable member 321 from rotating during movement.

[0157] Specifically, the first positioning member 311 or the second positioning member 312 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 312a, which are arranged around the periphery of the movable member 321 and are arranged sequentially at intervals on the periphery of the movable member 321. A limiting groove 312b is formed between two adjacent limiting posts 312a to guide the movement of the limiting part 321b, so as to prevent the movable member 321 from rotating during movement.

[0158] The limiting post 312a is located between the first positioning member 311 and the second positioning member 312, and is disposed within the receiving groove 311a. The limiting groove 312b can guide the movable member 321 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the second positioning member 312, so as to avoid the movement of the movable member 321 from deviating. The limiting post 312a can restrict the movable member 321 from rotating during movement.

[0159] It is understood that all directional indications (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 indication will also change accordingly.

[0160] Touch component 500

[0161] Please see Figures 17 to 19 , Figure 17 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch component 500 in some other embodiments of this application. Figure 18 yes Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the touch component 500 in the embodiment. Figure 19 yes Figure 18 This embodiment shows a schematic diagram of the structure when the touch component 500 is used in conjunction with the electronic device 800. The touch component 500 can be used on the electronic device 800 with a touch screen 810, so that the electronic device 800 can provide operation and input with a tactile user experience. The electronic device 800 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device, etc. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example for illustrative purposes.

[0162] The touch component 500 may include a fixing member 510, a joystick assembly 520, and a return assembly 530. The fixing member 510 is used to mount the touch component 500 onto the electronic device 800. The joystick assembly 520 is disposed on the fixing member 510 and configured to act on the touchscreen 810 of the electronic device 800 to achieve touch operation. The joystick assembly 520 is movable relative to the fixing member 510 so that the joystick assembly 520 can act on the initial position and target position of the touchscreen 810.

[0163] The fixing member 510 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800, thereby enabling the detachable assembly of the touch component 500 and the electronic device 800. When the touch component 500 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the joystick assembly 520 can move relative to the fixing member 510 and act on the touch screen 810 to realize the touch operation of the physical joystick control, that is, to realize the tactile experience of the physical joystick.

[0164] Furthermore, when the touch component 500 is assembled onto the electronic device 800, the position where the joystick component 520 contacts the touch screen 810 is defined as the initial position of the touch screen 810. Subsequently, when the joystick component 520 is subjected to an external force, it moves relative to the fixed member 510 and contacts other positions on the touch screen 810. These other contact positions can be defined as target positions of the touch screen 810. There can be several target positions, meaning the joystick component 520 can contact different target positions on the touch screen 810 when subjected to an external force. Optionally, the area covered by the several target positions can surround the periphery of the initial position.

[0165] Preferably, the area covered by several target positions can be a circular area with the initial position as the center and the travel distance of the joystick assembly 520 as the radius. When the joystick assembly 520 is subjected to an external force, it can come into contact with different target positions on the touchscreen 810. The target position farthest from the initial position can define the travel distance of the joystick assembly 520 when subjected to an external force.

[0166] The return assembly 530 may be disposed on the fixing member 510 and / or the joystick assembly 520, and is configured to provide a force for moving the joystick assembly 520 from the target position to the initial position. Furthermore, the return assembly 530 can, on the one hand, position the joystick assembly 520 corresponding to the initial position when no force is applied to it, and on the other hand, can drive the joystick assembly 520 to move from the target position to the initial position to return to its original position when the force applied to it is removed.

[0167] Understandably, since the joystick assembly 520 can contact the initial and target positions of the touchscreen 810, the initial and target positions of the touchscreen 810 can be understood as the initial and target positions of the joystick assembly 520. When the joystick assembly 520 is subjected to an external force at its initial position, it moves relative to the fixed member 510 and can move to the target position. When the external force is removed, the joystick assembly 520 moves from the target position back to the initial position under the action of the return assembly 530. The return assembly 530 can also position the joystick assembly 520 back to its initial position.

[0168] In one embodiment, the fixing member 510 has a receiving groove 511 and a hole 512 communicating with the receiving groove 511. The receiving groove 511 is formed on one side of the fixing member 510, and when the touch assembly 500 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the opening of the receiving groove 511 faces the touch screen 810.

[0169] The joystick assembly 520 has a first portion 521 disposed within a receiving groove 511 and a second portion 522 passing through a hole 512. The second portion 522 protrudes from the surface of the fixing member 510 and can move the first portion 521 within the receiving groove 511 when subjected to external force, so that the first portion 521 can contact the initial position and the target position of the touch screen 810.

[0170] Specifically, the fastener 510 may have a top surface 510a and a bottom surface 510b disposed opposite to each other, and a side surface 510c disposed between the top surface 510a and the bottom surface 510b. The top surface 510a, the bottom surface 510b and the side surface 510c cooperate to define the outer contour shape of the fastener 510.

[0171] Furthermore, when the touch component 500 is assembled on the electronic device 800, the bottom surface 510b is located on the touch screen 810, and the top surface 510a is located on the side of the bottom surface 510b that is away from the touch screen 810.

[0172] The receiving groove 511 is formed on the bottom surface 510b, and the opening of the receiving groove 511 faces the side away from the top surface 510a. Optionally, the surface of the first portion 521 for contacting the touch screen 810 is coplanar with the bottom surface 510b, or the surface of the first portion 521 for contacting the touch screen 810 is located on the side of the bottom surface 510b away from the top surface 510a. It can be understood that the surface of the first portion 521 away from the top surface 510a is configured to contact the touch screen 810.

[0173] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, when the touch component 500 is assembled onto the electronic device 800, the first portion 521 located in the receiving slot 511 contacts the touch screen 810. Driven by the second portion 522, the first portion 521 moves between an initial position and a target position; that is, the direction of movement of the first portion 521 is generally parallel to the touch surface of the touch screen 810. The first portion 521 can abut against the bottom wall of the receiving slot 511 to prevent it from wobbling.

[0174] Furthermore, when the first portion 521 contacts the initial position of the touch screen 810, the first portion 521 is spaced apart from the side wall of the receiving groove 511 to provide movement space for the first portion 521. At the same time, the second portion 522 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the hole 512 to provide movement space for the second portion 522.

[0175] The distance between the first part 521 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 511 defines the travel distance of the first part 521. Similarly, the distance between the second part 522 and the inner wall of the hole 512 also defines the travel distance of the first part 521. Therefore, when the distance between the first part 521 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 511 is the same as the distance between the second part 522 and the inner wall of the hole 512, both distances can define the travel distance of the first part 521. When the distance between the first part 521 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 511 is greater than the distance between the second part 522 and the inner wall of the hole 512, the distance between the second part 522 and the inner wall of the hole 512 defines the travel distance of the first part 521. When the distance between the first part 521 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 511 is less than the distance between the second part 522 and the inner wall of the hole 512, the distance between the first part 521 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 511 defines the travel distance of the first part 521.

[0176] In one embodiment, the rocker assembly 520 may further have a third portion 523, which is disposed on the side of the second portion 522 opposite to the first portion 521 and connected to the second portion 522. The third portion 523 may be spaced apart from the fixing member 510 and is configured to receive external force to move the first portion 521 and the second portion 522. Optionally, the width of the third portion 523 in the radial direction of the hole 512 is not less than the radial width of the hole 512.

[0177] In one embodiment, the hole 512 extends from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 511 to the top surface 510a, that is, one end of the hole 512 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 511 and the other end is connected to the top surface 510a.

[0178] Please see Figure 20 , Figure 20 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the touch component 500 in some other embodiments of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the hole 512 extends from the side wall of the receiving groove 511 to the side 510c, that is, one end of the hole 512 is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 511 and the other end is connected to the side 510c.

[0179] In summary, when the touch component 500 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the moving direction of the joystick component 520 can be parallel to the touch surface of the touch screen 810, so that the first part 521 can move between the initial position and the target position while maintaining contact with the touch screen 810.

[0180] See again Figures 17 to 19The return assembly 530 may include a first magnetic element 531 and a second magnetic element 532. One of the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 may be disposed on the rocker assembly 520, and the other may be disposed on the fixing member 510. A magnetic force exists between the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532, and this magnetic force is configured to drive the rocker assembly 520 to move from a target position to an initial position. Optionally, the magnetic force may be a magnetic repulsion force.

[0181] For example, both the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 can be magnets, and the magnetic force is the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532. This magnetic force can, on the one hand, position the joystick assembly 520 in the initial position, and on the other hand, provide the driving force for the joystick assembly 520 to move from the target position to the initial position.

[0182] like Figure 18 As shown, one of the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 can be disposed on the first portion 521, and the other can be disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 511. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 can be disposed on the second portion 522, and the other can be disposed on the inner wall of the hole 512.

[0183] Please see Figure 21 , Figure 21 yes Figure 18 This embodiment illustrates the distribution of the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532. For example, the first magnetic element 531 is disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 511, and the second magnetic element 532 is disposed on the first part 521. Multiple first magnetic elements 531 and multiple second magnetic elements 532 can be provided, with each set of first magnetic elements 531 and second magnetic elements 532 arranged opposite to the other. Optionally, multiple first magnetic elements 531 are arranged around the periphery of the first part 521. Preferably, multiple first magnetic elements 531 are arranged sequentially and evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the first part 521. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first magnetic element 531 is disposed on the inner wall of the hole 512, multiple first magnetic elements 531 are arranged around the periphery of the second part 522. Preferably, multiple first magnetic elements 531 are arranged sequentially and evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the second part 522.

[0184] It is understood that the above embodiments only exemplify the distribution of the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532, but are not limited thereto.

[0185] Please see Figure 22 , Figure 22This is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of the return component 530 in other embodiments of this application. The return component 530 may include an elastic element 533, which may be disposed within a receiving groove 511 and / or a hole 512. The two ends of the elastic element 533 are respectively connected to or abut against the rocker assembly 520 and the fixing member 510. When the first portion 521 contacts the target position of the touch screen 810, the elastic element 533 deforms to generate a spring force, which is configured to drive the first portion 521 to move from the target position to the initial position. Furthermore, the elastic element 533 can also position the first portion 521 in the initial position.

[0186] For example, such as Figure 22 As shown, the elastic element 533 can be disposed in the receiving groove 511.

[0187] Optionally, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the fixing member 510, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the first part 521. And / or, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the first part 521, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the fixing member 510.

[0188] Preferably, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 511, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the first part 521. And / or, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the first part 521, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 511.

[0189] For example, the elastic element 533 can be provided inside the hole 512 (not shown in the figure).

[0190] Optionally, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the fixing member 510, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the second part 522. And / or, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the second part 522, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the fixing member 510.

[0191] Preferably, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the inner wall of the hole 512, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the second part 522. And / or, one end of the elastic member 533 is connected to the second part 522, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the inner wall of the hole 512.

[0192] Among them, the elastic element 533 can be a spring, rubber, silicone or foam, etc.

[0193] In one embodiment, multiple elastic elements 533 may be provided, and the multiple elastic elements 533 are arranged sequentially and evenly at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first part 521 and / or the second part 522.

[0194] It is understood that the above embodiments only exemplify the connection and distribution methods of the elastic element 533, but are not limited thereto.

[0195] like Figure 19 As shown, when the touch component 500 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the first portion 521 of the joystick assembly 520 contacts the initial position of the touch screen 810. The joystick assembly 520 can move relative to the receiving groove 511 under external force, allowing the first portion 521 to contact the target position of the touch screen 810 to achieve a sliding touch operation. The return assembly 530 can position the first portion 521 in contact with the initial position of the touch screen 810 when the joystick assembly 520 is not under force. When the joystick assembly 520 is under force and moves relative to the receiving groove 511, the first portion 521 can contact the target position of the touch screen 810, at which point the return assembly 530 can generate a force to drive the first portion 521 to move from the target position to the initial position.

[0196] As mentioned above, the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 can be a capacitive touch screen or a resistive touch screen. When the touch screen 810 is a resistive touch screen, the joystick assembly 520 can be subjected to external force to make the first part 521 abut against the touch screen 810 to achieve a sliding touch operation.

[0197] When the touchscreen 810 is a capacitive touchscreen, the joystick assembly 320 can be made of a conductive material. When a finger or conductive object touches any position of the joystick assembly 320, it is equivalent to the finger or conductive object touching the touchscreen 810, thereby realizing the corresponding sliding touch operation. In order to avoid accidental touches, the fixing member 510 can be made of a non-conductive material.

[0198] It should be noted that in the terminology used in this article, "conductive material" can refer to materials used for transporting and conducting electric current. These are generally classified into common metallic conductive materials, composite polymer conductive materials, and structural polymer conductive materials. Common metallic conductive materials mainly include metallic elements, alloys (such as copper alloys, aluminum alloys, etc.), and composite metallic materials. Composite polymer conductive materials are generally made by combining general-purpose polymer materials with various conductive substances through filling, surface, or lamination processes. These mainly include conductive plastics, conductive rubber, conductive fiber fabrics, conductive coatings, conductive adhesives, and transparent conductive films. Structural polymer conductive materials generally refer to polymer materials whose polymer structure itself or after doping possesses conductive properties. These generally include polymer semiconductors, polymer metals, and polymer superconductors.

[0199] For example, "conductive materials" take conductive rubber or conductive silicone as an example. Conductive rubber is generally made by uniformly distributing conductive particles such as silver-plated glass, silver-plated aluminum, or silver in rubber or silicone. Pressure is applied to make the conductive particles come into contact, thereby achieving a good conductive effect.

[0200] The touch components (100, 300, 500) in this application are all passive controls, meaning they require no power supply structure or related circuit design, simplifying the structural design and manufacturing process. For example, they can be quickly manufactured directly using 3D printing. In other words, the touch components (100, 300, 500) provided in this application are simple in structure, low in cost, and easy to manufacture as passive components, making them suitable for use in electronic devices with touchscreens. Furthermore, when the aforementioned touch components (100, 300, 500) are mounted on electronic devices, they provide more realistic touch operation.

[0201] The touch components (100, 300, 500) provided in this application, which can be mounted on electronic devices with touch screens, are characterized by their simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and modular design, allowing for flexible and diverse form factor designs. Users can customize the dimensions and layout of buttons, knobs, joysticks, and other structural elements to adapt to different electronic device appearances and usage scenarios.

[0202] Based on this, the following text will further illustrate the superiority of the above-mentioned touch components (100, 300, 500) in improving the user experience by combining different usage scenarios of electronic devices.

[0203] An electronic device system can be defined, which may include an electronic device and a touch component detachably mounted on the electronic device. The touch component can act on the touch screen of the electronic device to realize touch operations such as pressing, rotating, and sliding. It is understood that the touch component can be at least one of the touch components in the foregoing embodiments.

[0204] Electronic equipment 800

[0205] Please see Figure 23 , Figure 23 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 800 in some embodiments of this application. The electronic device 800 may have a touch screen 810 and a housing 820. The touch screen 810 is disposed on one side of the housing 820 and together with the housing 820 forms an accommodating space for mounting structural components such as circuit boards, batteries, sensors, and cameras, so that the electronic device 800 can perform corresponding functions. The touch screen 810, sensors, cameras, and other structural components can be electrically connected to the circuit board, battery, etc., respectively, via a flexible printed circuit (FPC), so that they can receive power from the battery and execute corresponding instructions and interact with the circuit board under its control.

[0206] The touchscreen 810 can be used to provide image display functionality for the electronic device 800. The housing 820 can be used to install various electronic components required by the electronic device 800, and the housing 820 and the touchscreen 810 together can form a space for accommodating electronic components required by the electronic device 800, such as sensors, microphones, speakers, cameras, flashlights, circuit boards, and batteries, to achieve functions such as voice communication, audio playback, photography, and lighting.

[0207] Electronic equipment 900

[0208] Please see Figure 24 , Figure 24 This is a schematic block diagram of the structure of an electronic device 900 in some other embodiments of this application. The electronic device 900 may include: a memory 901, a processor (Central Processing Unit, CPU) 902, a circuit board (not shown), a power supply circuit, and a microphone 913. The circuit board is disposed inside the space enclosed by the housing; the CPU 902 and the memory 901 are disposed on the circuit board; the power supply circuit is used to supply power to the various circuits or devices of the electronic device; the memory 901 is used to store executable program code; the CPU 902 reads the executable program code stored in the memory 901 to run the computer program corresponding to the executable program code, so as to identify the above-mentioned identification information and realize the unlocking and wake-up functions.

[0209] The electronic device may also include: a peripheral interface 903, an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit 905, an audio circuit 906, a speaker 911, a power management chip 908, other input / output (I / O) subsystem input / control devices, a touch screen 912, other input / control devices 910, and an external port 904. These components communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 907. The touch screen 912 may be the touch screen 810 in the aforementioned embodiments.

[0210] The memory 901 can be accessed by the CPU 902, peripheral interface 903, etc. The memory 901 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other volatile solid-state storage devices. The peripheral interface 903 can connect the device's input and output peripherals to the CPU 902 and the memory 901.

[0211] The I / O subsystem 909 can connect input / output peripherals on the device, such as a touchscreen 912 and other input / control devices 910, to the peripheral interface 903. The I / O subsystem 909 may include a display controller 9091 and one or more input controllers 9092 for controlling other input / control devices 910. The one or more input controllers 9092 receive or send electrical signals to other input / control devices 910, which may include physical buttons (press buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dial pads, slide switches, joysticks, and click wheels. It is worth noting that the input controllers 9092 can be connected to any of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB interface, and a pointing device such as a mouse.

[0212] The touchscreen 912 is an input and output interface between the user's electronic device and the user, displaying visual output to the user. Visual output can include graphics, text, icons, videos, etc.

[0213] The display controller 9091 in the I / O subsystem 909 receives or sends electrical signals to the touchscreen 912. The touchscreen 912 detects touches, and the display controller 9091 converts the detected touches into interactions with user interface objects displayed on the touchscreen 912, thus achieving human-computer interaction. The user interface objects displayed on the touchscreen 912 can be icons for running games, connecting to a network, etc.

[0214] The RF circuit 905 is primarily used to establish communication between the mobile phone and the wireless network (i.e., the network side), enabling the mobile phone to receive and send data with the wireless network. Examples include sending and receiving SMS messages and emails. Specifically, the RF circuit 905 receives and transmits RF signals, also known as electromagnetic signals. The RF circuit 905 converts electrical signals into electromagnetic signals or vice versa, and uses these electromagnetic signals to communicate with the communication network and other devices. The RF circuit 905 may include known circuits for performing these functions, including but not limited to antenna systems, RF transceivers, one or more amplifiers, tuners, one or more oscillators, digital signal processors, CODEC (Coder-Coder) chipsets, Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs), etc.

[0215] The audio circuit 906 is mainly used to receive audio data from the peripheral interface 903, convert the audio data into electrical signals, and send the electrical signals to the speaker 911. The speaker 911 is used to convert the voice signals received by the mobile phone from the wireless network via the RF circuit 905 back into sound and play the sound to the user. The power management chip 908 is used to provide power and manage the power supply for the CPU 902, the I / O subsystem, and the hardware connected to the peripheral interface.

[0216] Understandably, in some application scenarios, Figure 23 This can be considered a schematic diagram of the external structure of an electronic device. Figure 24 This can be considered a schematic diagram of the functional module structure of an electronic device.

[0217] Electronic Equipment System 20

[0218] Please see Figure 25 , Figure 25 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device system 20 in some embodiments of this application. The electronic device system 20 may include an electronic device 800 and a touch module 200. The electronic device 800 has a touch screen 810. The electronic device 800 may also be the electronic device 900 in the aforementioned embodiments, etc., without specific limitation. The touch module 200 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800. When the touch module 200 is mounted on the electronic device 800, it can act on the touch screen 810 to realize physical touch operations such as pressing, rotating, and sliding, thereby enriching the user's operation methods and improving the user's physical operation experience.

[0219] Touch module 200

[0220] Please see Figure 26 , Figure 26 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch module 200 in some embodiments of this application. The touch module 200 may include an assembly 201 and a touch component 202 disposed on the assembly 201. The assembly 201 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800, thereby realizing the detachable assembly of the touch module 200 and the electronic device 800. The touch component 202 can act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 to realize touch operation of physical controls.

[0221] Specifically, the touch component 202 is mounted on one side of the assembly 201, and the other opposite side of the assembly 201 is used for detachably mounting the electronic device 800. That is, the touch component 202 and the electronic device 800 can be mounted on opposite sides of the assembly 201 respectively. The electronic device 800 can be detachably mounted to the assembly 201 by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, screw connection, etc.

[0222] The assembly 201 has through holes 203 connecting its opposite sides. When the touch module 200 is assembled with the electronic device 800, the electronic device 800 may be partially exposed through the through holes 203. The touch component 202 is assembled on one side of the assembly 201 and has a touch end passing through the through holes 203. This touch end can extend to the other opposite side of the assembly 201 and act on the touch screen 810 to perform corresponding touch operations.

[0223] Specifically, the side of the assembly 201 used for assembling the electronic device 800 can be defined as the inner side of the assembly 201, and the side of the assembly 201 away from the inner side can be defined as the outer side of the assembly 201.

[0224] It is understood that the touch component 202 can be the touch components (100, 300, 500) in the aforementioned embodiments. For ease of description below, "touch component 100" can be defined as "first touch component 210", "touch component 300" as "second touch component 220", and "touch component 500" as "third touch component 230". The assembly 201 is equipped with at least one of the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230.

[0225] In one embodiment, the through hole 203 may include at least one first through hole 203a, and correspondingly, the touch component 202 may include at least one first touch component 210, with each first touch component 210 corresponding to one of the first through holes 203a. Figure 26 As shown, there are two first through holes 203a and two first touch components 210. The touch end of one first touch component 210 can be inserted through one corresponding first through hole 203a, and the touch end of the other first touch component 210 can be inserted through another corresponding first through hole 203a.

[0226] Referring to the touch component 100 in the foregoing embodiments, the first touch component 210 may include a positioning member 110 and a knob 120. The positioning member 110 is mounted on one side of the mounting part 201, and the knob 120 is located on the side of the positioning member 110 opposite to the mounting part 201 and can rotate relative to the positioning member 110. The knob 120 has a touch terminal that passes through the first through hole 203a.

[0227] Specifically, the knob 120 has a protrusion 122, which is located on the side of the knob 120 near the positioning member 110 and passes through the positioning member 110 and the first through hole 203a in sequence. The end of the protrusion 122 that passes through the first through hole 203a is the aforementioned touch terminal. It can be understood that the touch terminal in this embodiment can be understood as the contact point 121 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0228] In one embodiment, the positioning member 110 may include an adsorption portion 112 and a positioning portion 113 spaced apart, and a connecting portion 114 connecting the adsorption portion 112 and the positioning portion 113. The positioning portion 113 surrounds the periphery of the adsorption portion 112 and is assembled and connected to the fitting 201. Optionally, the positioning portion 113 surrounds the periphery of the first through hole 203a, and the knob 120 is rotatably connected to the adsorption portion 112.

[0229] In one embodiment, one of the positioning member 110 and the knob 120 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic elements 130, and the other is provided with a second magnetic element 140. When the knob 120 rotates relative to the positioning member 110, the second magnetic element 140 can attract a portion of the plurality of first magnetic elements 130 to position the rotation angle of the knob 120 relative to the positioning member 110.

[0230] Furthermore, to facilitate the assembly between the first touch component 210 and the assembly 201, i.e., the assembly between the positioning member 110 and the assembly 201, the assembly 201 has a first assembly groove 201a on one side for assembling the positioning member 110. This first assembly groove 201a surrounds the outer periphery of the first through hole 203a, meaning it can be annular and communicates with the first through hole 203a. The positioning member 110 is embedded in the first assembly groove 201a to achieve an assembly connection with the assembly 201. Optionally, the positioning portion 113 of the positioning member 110 is embedded in the first assembly groove 201a of the assembly 201. For example, the positioning portion 113 can be assembled by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, screw connection, etc.

[0231] In one embodiment, the positioning part 113 can be magnetically attached to the assembly 201. That is, one of the positioning part 113 and the assembly 201 is provided with a magnet, and the other is provided with a magnetic element. The positioning part 113 can be fixed to the assembly 201 by magnetic attraction. Optionally, one of the positioning part 113 and the first assembly groove 201a is provided with a magnet, and the other is provided with a magnetic element.

[0232] Of course, in other embodiments, the first assembly groove 201a may be omitted from the assembly 201, that is, the positioning part 113 is arranged around the periphery of the first through hole 203a.

[0233] In one embodiment, one of the assembly 201 and the positioning member 110 is provided with a first positioning part 118 and the other is provided with a second positioning part 119. The first positioning part 118 and the second positioning part 119 cooperate to position the positioning member 110. Optionally, one of the bottom wall of the first assembly groove 201a and the positioning part 113 of the positioning member 110 is provided with a first positioning part 118 and the other is provided with a second positioning part 119. One of the first positioning part 118 and the second positioning part 119 may be a groove and the other may be a protrusion. Of course, in other embodiments, the first positioning part 118 and the second positioning part 119 may also be other positioning structures, which will not be elaborated further.

[0234] It is understood that the technical features of the first touch component 210 not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the specific description of the touch component 100 in the previous embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0235] In one embodiment, the through hole 203 may include at least one second through hole 203b, and correspondingly, the touch component 202 may include at least one second touch component 220, with each second touch component 220 corresponding to a second through hole 203b. The touch end of the second touch component 220 may pass through the second through hole 203b to act on the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation.

[0236] Referring to the touch component 300 in the foregoing embodiments, the second touch component 220 may include a positioning component 310, a button component 320, and a reset component 330. The positioning component 310 is mounted on the mounting part 201. The button component 320 is disposed on the positioning component 310 and is axially movable in the second through hole 203b, allowing the button component 320 to switch between an initial state and a pressed state. The reset component 330 is disposed between the positioning component 310 and the button component 320 and is capable of positioning the button component 320 in the initial state.

[0237] When pressed, the button assembly 320 can act on the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation, and the reset assembly 330 can return the button assembly 320 to its initial state.

[0238] In one embodiment, the positioning component 310 may include a first positioning member 311 mounted on the assembly 201. Optionally, the first positioning member 311 may be disposed around the second through hole 203b.

[0239] The button assembly 320 may include a movable member 321 disposed on the first positioning member 311, which can move axially upward through the second through hole 203b to act on the touch screen 810.

[0240] In one embodiment, the first positioning member 311 has a receiving groove 311a on the side near the assembly 201, with the opening of the receiving groove 311a facing the touch screen 810. The movable member 321 has a main body 321a at least partially disposed within the receiving groove 311a and a limiting part 321b disposed on the periphery of the main body 321a. The main body 321a can move within the receiving groove 311a to act on the touch screen 810, and the limiting part 321b cooperates with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a to limit the movement stroke of the main body 321a. Specifically, when the movable member 321 returns to its initial state under the action of the reset assembly 330, the movable member 321 and the button assembly 320 are considered to have returned to their initial state when the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a.

[0241] In one embodiment, the button assembly 320 may further include a pressing member 322, which is disposed on the side of the first positioning member 311 opposite to the mounting part 201. The pressing member 322 abuts against the main body portion 321a, and the end of the main body portion 321a opposite to the pressing member 322 is the aforementioned touch terminal.

[0242] In one embodiment, the reset component 330 may include a first elastic element 333, one end of which is connected to or abuts against the first positioning element 311, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the movable element 321 or the pressing element 322. When pressed, the first elastic element 333 deforms to generate a first elastic force, which can drive the button component 320 back to its initial state.

[0243] In one embodiment, the reset assembly 330 may include a first magnetic element 331 and a second magnetic element 332. One of the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 may be disposed on the first positioning element 311, and the other may be disposed on the movable element 321 or the pressing element 322.

[0244] A first magnetic force is formed between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 332 to drive the button assembly 320 back to its initial state.

[0245] In one embodiment, the positioning component 310 may further include a second positioning member 312 passing through the second through hole 203b, the second positioning member 312 covering the opening of the receiving groove 311a.

[0246] The movable member 321 can abut against or separate from the second positioning member 312, and the end of the second positioning member 312 opposite to the movable member 321 is the aforementioned touch terminal. Optionally, the button assembly 320 and the second positioning member 312 can be made of conductive material.

[0247] In one embodiment, the reset component 330 may include a second elastic element, one end of which is connected to or abuts against the second positioning element 312 and the other end is connected to or abuts against the movable element 321. When pressed, the second elastic element deforms to generate a second elastic force, which can drive the button component 320 back to its initial state.

[0248] In one embodiment, the reset assembly 330 may include a third magnetic element 335 and a fourth magnetic element 336. One of the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 may be disposed on the movable element 321, and the other may be disposed on the second positioning element 312. A second magnetic force is formed between the third magnetic element 335 and the fourth magnetic element 336 to drive the button assembly 320 back to its initial state.

[0249] In one embodiment, the second positioning member 312 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 312a, which are arranged sequentially at intervals on the periphery of the movable member 321. A limiting groove 312b is formed between adjacent limiting posts 312a to guide the limiting part 312b to move axially through the second through hole 203b. The limiting groove 312b can guide the movable member 321 to move in a direction close to or away from the second positioning member 312, thereby preventing deviation of the movable member 321's movement. The limiting posts 312a can restrict the movable member 321 from rotating during movement.

[0250] In one embodiment, the assembly 201 has a second assembly groove 201b on one side for assembling the first positioning member 311. This second assembly groove 201b surrounds the outer periphery of the second through hole 203b, meaning it can be annular and communicates with the second through hole 203b. The first positioning member 311 is embedded in the second assembly groove 201b to achieve an assembly connection with the assembly 201. Optionally, the first positioning member 311 can be assembled using methods such as snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or screw connection.

[0251] Please see Figure 27 , Figure 27This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the second touch component 220 in some embodiments of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the touch component 300 in the aforementioned embodiments is that the first positioning member 311 has a flange protrusion 311c surrounding the opening of the receiving groove 311a on its periphery. This flange protrusion 311c can be embedded in the second assembly groove 201b to achieve the assembly connection between the first positioning member 311 and the assembly part 201. The flange protrusion 311c can be assembled with the assembly part 201 through snap-fit, magnetic attraction, screw connection, or other methods. For example, the flange protrusion 311c can be assembled onto the assembly part 201 by magnetic attraction; that is, one of the flange protrusion 311c and the second assembly groove 201b has a magnet, and the other has a magnetic component, allowing the flange protrusion 311c to be fixed onto the assembly part 201 through magnetic attraction. Of course, in other embodiments, the second mounting groove 201b may be omitted from the assembly 201, that is, the flange protrusion 311c is directly arranged around the periphery of the second through hole 203b and assembled on the assembly 201. Optionally, one of the first positioning member 311 and the assembly 201 is provided with a magnet, and the other is provided with a magnetic member.

[0252] In one embodiment, one of the assembly 201 and the first positioning member 311 is provided with a third positioning part 205 and the other with a fourth positioning part 206. The third positioning part 205 and the fourth positioning part 206 cooperate to position the first positioning member 311. Optionally, one of the bottom wall of the second assembly groove 201b and the flange protrusion 311c of the first positioning member 311 is provided with a third positioning part 205 and the other with a fourth positioning part 206. One of the third positioning part 205 and the fourth positioning part 206 can be a groove and the other can be a protrusion. Of course, in other embodiments, the third positioning part 205 and the fourth positioning part 206 can also be other positioning structures, which will not be elaborated further.

[0253] It is understood that any technical features of the second touch component 220 not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the specific description of the touch component 300 in the foregoing embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0254] In one embodiment, the through hole 203 may include at least one third through hole 203c, and correspondingly, the touch component 202 may include at least one third touch component 230, with each third touch component 230 corresponding to a third through hole 203c. The touch end of the third touch component 230 may pass through the third through hole 203c to act on the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation.

[0255] Referring to the touch component 500 in the foregoing embodiments, the third touch component 230 may include a fixing member 510, a rocker assembly 520, and a return component 530. The fixing member 510 is mounted on the mounting part 201, the rocker assembly 520 passes through the fixing member 510 and is movable relative to the fixing member 510, and the rocker assembly 520 has a touch end passing through the third through hole 203c.

[0256] The return assembly 530 is disposed on the fixing member 510 and / or the joystick assembly 520 and is configured to provide a force for moving the joystick assembly 520 from the target position to the initial position.

[0257] In one embodiment, the fixing member 510 may be disposed around the third through hole 203c. The fixing member 510 has a receiving groove 511 and a hole 512 communicating with the receiving groove 511. The receiving groove 511 is disposed on the side of the fixing member 510 near the mounting part 201, and when the touch assembly 500 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the opening of the receiving groove 511 faces the touch screen 810. The hole 512 communicates with the side of the receiving groove 511 away from the fixing member 510. The rocker assembly 520 has a first portion 521 disposed in the receiving groove 511 and a second portion 522 passing through the hole 512. The first portion 521 may be the aforementioned touch end and can move within the receiving groove 511. The second portion 522 is disposed protruding from the surface of the fixing member 510 and can drive the first portion 521 to move within the receiving groove 511 when subjected to external force, so that the first portion 521 can contact the initial position and target position of the touch screen 810.

[0258] 522. The third portion 523 may be spaced apart from the fastener 510 and configured to receive external force to move the first portion 521 and the second portion 522. Optionally, the width of the third portion 523 in the radial direction of the hole 512 is not less than the radial width of the hole 512.

[0259] In one embodiment, the repositioning component 530 may include an elastic element 533 disposed within a receiving groove 511, one end of which is connected to or abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 5115, and the other end of which is connected to or abuts against the first portion 521. And / or, the repositioning component 530 may include an elastic element 533 disposed within a hole 512, one end of which is connected to or abuts against the inner wall of the hole 512, and the other end of which is connected to or abuts against the second portion 522. When the first portion 521 contacts a target position on the touchscreen 810, the elastic element 533 may deform to generate a spring force, which is configured to drive the first portion 521 to move from the target position to the initial position. Furthermore, the elastic element 533 may also position the first portion 521 in the initial position.

[0260] In one embodiment, the homing assembly 530 may include a fifth magnetic element (i.e., a first magnetic element 531) and a sixth magnetic element (i.e., a second magnetic element 532), with a magnetic force between the fifth magnetic element 531 and the sixth magnetic element for driving the rocker assembly 520 to move from the target position to the initial position.

[0261] In this configuration, one of the fifth and sixth magnetic components may be disposed on the first portion 521, and the other on the side wall of the receiving groove 511. And / or, one of the fifth and sixth magnetic components may be disposed on the second portion 522, and the other on the inner wall of the hole 512.

[0262] In one embodiment, the mounting accessory 201 has a third mounting groove 201c on one side for assembling the fastener 510. This third mounting groove 201c surrounds the outer periphery of the third through hole 203c, meaning it can be annular and communicates with the third through hole 203c. The fastener 510 can be embedded in the third mounting groove 201c to achieve an assembly connection with the mounting accessory 201. Optionally, the fastener 510 can be assembled using methods such as snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or screw connection.

[0263] Optionally, the fastener 510 can be magnetically attached to the assembly 201. That is, one of the fastener 510 and the assembly 201 has a magnet, and the other has a magnetic component, allowing the fastener 510 to be fixed to the assembly 201 through magnetic attraction. Alternatively, one of the fastener 510 and the third assembly slot 201c has a magnet, and the other has a magnetic component. Of course, in other embodiments, the third assembly slot 201c can be omitted from the assembly 201, meaning the fastener 510 can be directly arranged around the periphery of the third through hole 203c.

[0264] 20. In one embodiment, one of the mounting part 201 and the fixing member 510 is provided with a fifth positioning part, and the other is provided with a sixth positioning part. The fifth positioning part and the sixth positioning part cooperate to position the fixing member 510. The cooperation method of the fifth positioning part and the sixth positioning part can refer to the cooperation method of the first positioning part and the second positioning part or the cooperation method of the third positioning part and the fourth positioning part in the previous embodiment, so it will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0265] It is understood that the technical features of the third touch component 230 not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the specific description of the touch component 500 in the previous embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0266] 25 See again Figure 26 The assembly 201 is generally plate-shaped, having an inner side and an outer side facing away from each other. The electronic device 800 can be assembled on the inner side of the assembly 201.

[0267] The touch component 202 can be mounted on the outside of the assembly 201 to facilitate touch operation by the user. However, when the plate-shaped assembly 201 is assembled with the electronic device 800, positioning is inconvenient and misalignment is easy to occur, which is detrimental to the user's touch operation experience.

[0268] Based on this, this application further improves the assembly 201 to enhance the user experience.

[0269] Please see Figure 28 , Figure 28 This is a structural schematic diagram of the assembly 201 in some other embodiments of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the touch module in the aforementioned embodiments is that the structure of the assembly 201 is different. The assembly 201 may include a first plate 250 and a side plate 260.

[0270] The first plate 250 has an inner side and an outer side arranged opposite to each other. A side plate 260 is disposed on the inner side of the first plate 250 and bent to connect with it. In other words, the first plate 250 and the side plate 260 cooperate to form an assembly 201 with a generally groove-like structure. The groove opening side of the groove-like structure is the inner side of the assembly 201, and the side opposite to the groove opening is the outer side of the assembly 201. Through holes 203 penetrate the first plate 250, specifically the first through hole 203a, the second through hole 203b, and the third through hole 203c. The touch component 202 can be mounted on the outer side of either the first plate 250 or the side plate 260, meaning the touch component 202 can be mounted on the outer side of the assembly 201. The electronic device 800 can be mounted on the inner side of either the first plate 250 or the side plate 260, meaning the electronic device 800 can be mounted on the inner side of the assembly 201.

[0271] When the electronic device 800 is assembled inside the assembly 201, the touch screen 810 can be positioned opposite the first plate 250, and the electronic device 800 can abut against the side plate 260, thereby enabling the positioning and assembly of the electronic device 800 and the assembly 201 to be completed quickly.

[0272] Please see Figure 29 , Figure 29 This is a structural schematic diagram of the assembly 201 in some other embodiments of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the touch module in the aforementioned embodiments is that the structure of the assembly 201 is different. The assembly 201 may include a first plate 250 and a second plate 270 disposed opposite to each other, and a side plate 260 disposed between the first plate 250 and the second plate 270.

[0273] The first plate 250, the second plate 270, and the side plate 260 surround and form the outer contour of the assembly 201, making the assembly 201 generally a box-shaped structure with an opening at one end. The electronic device 800 can be assembled between the first plate 250 and the second plate 270 through the opening, and the side plate 260 can limit the movement of the electronic device 800 into the assembly 201.

[0274] 45 Understandably, by using the first plate 250 and the second plate 270 spaced apart, and in conjunction with the side plate 260, the electronic device 800 can be restricted in multiple directions when one end of the electronic device 800 enters the assembly 201. On the one hand, it is convenient to hold the electronic device 800 when the user performs touch operation using the touch module 200, and on the other hand, the assembly 201 and the electronic device 800 will not be misaligned when the user performs touch operation using the touch module 200.

[0275] In one embodiment, the second plate 270 is provided with an adjustment member 280 on the side near the first plate 250. The adjustment member 280 can abut against the side of the electronic device 800 away from the first plate 250 when the electronic device 800 is assembled between the first plate 250 and the second plate 270, so that the touch component 202 can fully act on the touch screen 810 to ensure the effect of touch operation.

[0276] The adjusting element 280 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone, so that the same touch module 200 can be adapted to electronic devices 800 of different thicknesses, thereby improving the versatility of the touch module 200. It is understood that the adjusting element 280 can be a rib structure provided on the second plate 270, or a sheet structure covering the second plate 270, etc.

[0277] Of course, in other embodiments, an adjustment member 280 may also be provided on the side of the first plate 250 near the second plate 270. In this case, the adjustment member 280 needs to be arranged to avoid the through hole 203. In addition, as mentioned above, at least one of the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230 is assembled on the assembly 201.

[0278] The first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, or the third touch component 230 may be mounted on the first plate 250 and / or the second plate 270.

[0279] Please see Figure 30 and Figure 31 , Figure 30 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the touch module 200 in other embodiments of this application. Figure 31 yes Figure 30 A schematic diagram showing the structural breakdown of the touch module 200 in the embodiment.

[0280] As mentioned above, at least one of a first touch component 210, a second touch component 220, and a third touch component 230 is mounted on the assembly 201. Taking the assembly 20160, which is equipped with a first touch component 210 and a second touch component 220, as an example, multiple first touch components 210 and multiple second touch components 220 are provided, and the multiple first touch components 210 are mounted on the first plate 250 of the assembly 201. Some of the multiple second touch components 220 are mounted on the first plate 250 of the assembly 201, and the other part is mounted on the side plate 260.

[0281] In other words, multiple second through holes 203b and multiple second touch components 220 can be provided, with some second through holes 203b penetrating through the side panel 260 and others penetrating through the first plate 250. That is, by placing the second touch component 220 in different positions on the assembly 201, different touch user experiences can be achieved, enriching the diversity of operations.

[0282] In one embodiment, the assembly 201 also includes a connection interface 208 configured to expose the interface of the electronic device 800. The electronic device 800 typically has a charging interface for charging and a data cable interface for data exchange, while the touch module 200 is typically mounted at the end of the electronic device 800, covering both the charging interface and the data cable interface. Therefore, by providing the connection interface 208 to expose the charging interface and data cable interface of the electronic device, the user's needs are met. It is understood that when the charging interface and data cable interface are separate interfaces, multiple connection interfaces 208 can be provided, each corresponding to one of the data cable interface and the other to the charging interface. When the charging interface and data cable interface are combined into a single interface, only one connection interface 208 can be provided.

[0283] In one embodiment, the touch component 200 may further include a touch control 290 passing through the second through hole 203b on the side panel 260. Since a portion of the second touch component 220 is mounted on the side panel 260, the touch control 290 is configured as a touch terminal of the second touch component 220 mounted on the side panel 260. In other words, one end of the touch control 260 is connected to the positioning component 310 of the second touch component 220 mounted on the side panel 260, and the other end is configured to contact the touchscreen 810.

[0284] The touch control 290 is made of conductive material.

[0285] Understandably, when the positioning component 310 only includes the first positioning member 311, the first positioning member 311 can be detachably connected to the touch control 290. At this time, the movable member 321 can dock with or separate from the touch control 290, and when docked, it can perform touch operation on the touch screen 810.

[0286] When the positioning component 310 includes a first positioning member 311 and a second positioning member 312, the first positioning member 311 and / or the second positioning member 312 can be detachably connected to the touch control 290, and when connected, the second positioning member 312 contacts the touch control 290. At this time, the movable member 321 can dock with or detach from the second positioning member 312, and when docked, it can perform touch operations on the touch screen 810. The second positioning member 312 and the movable member 321 can be made of conductive material.

[0287] Understandably, based on the positional relationship between the side panel 260 and the touch screen 910, and the connection relationship between the touch control 290 and the positioning component 310, the large area of ​​surface contact between the touch control 290 and the touch screen 810 can ensure the effect of touch operation, and the large area of ​​contact connection between the touch control 290 and the positioning component 310 can ensure a relatively stable connection between the two.

[0288] Based on this, in one embodiment, the touch control 290 may include a first touch portion 291 and a second touch portion 292 that are bent and connected. The first touch portion 291 is used to contact the touch screen 810, and the second touch portion 292 is connected to the positioning component 310. The first touch portion 291 may be plate-shaped or strip-shaped, and one end of the first touch portion 291 may form a surface contact with the touch surface of the touch screen 810. The other end of the first touch portion 291 extends into or passes through the second through hole 203b to be bent and connected to the second touch portion 292. In this case, the second touch portion 292 may have a large connection or contact area with the positioning component 310 to ensure connection stability. Optionally, the second touch portion 292 may be connected to the positioning component 310 by magnetic attraction. In this case, a magnet or magnetic element may be provided on the second touch portion 292, and it may attract each other with the magnetic element inside the second touch component 220 to achieve positioning connection.

[0289] Of course, in other embodiments, the second touch unit 292 and the positioning component 310 can also be connected by means of snap-fit, adhesive, screw connection, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0290] It is understood that although the above embodiments only exemplify the implementation of the second touch component 220 being disposed on the side panel 260, they are not limited thereto. For example, the first touch component 210 and / or the third touch component 230 may also be disposed on the side panel 260, and their corresponding touch operations may be realized by setting different touch controls. Those skilled in the art can make corresponding modifications to derive specific technical solutions based on the teachings of the embodiments of this application, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0291] Since the assembly 201 can be equipped with at least one of the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230, different types of touch modules 200 can be derived. For example, the touch module 200 in the foregoing embodiment has the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230.

[0292] Furthermore, the touch module 200 may also include one or more of the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230, with each component having one or more components. It should be understood that any technical solutions derived by those skilled in the art based on the teachings of this application by modifying the aforementioned quantities and types should be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0293] For example, this application can provide another type of touch module, which may include an assembly and a second touch component. The assembly has a second through hole connecting opposite sides of the assembly; the second touch component is disposed on the assembly. The second touch component is mounted on one side of the assembly, and the other opposite side of the assembly is used for detachably mounting an electronic device with a touch screen. The second touch component includes a positioning component, a button component, and a reset component. The positioning component is mounted on the assembly. The button component is disposed on the positioning component and is axially movable within the second through hole. The reset component is disposed between the positioning component and the button component for resetting the button component. The button component or the positioning component has a touch end passing through the second through hole, which can act on the touch screen to achieve touch operation.

[0294] For example, this application can also provide another type of touch module, which may include an assembly and a third touch component. The assembly has a third through hole connecting opposite sides of the assembly. The third touch component is disposed on the assembly. The third touch component is mounted on one side of the assembly, and the other opposite side of the assembly is used for detachably mounting an electronic device with a touch screen.

The fixing member is mounted on the assembly, and the rocker assembly passes through the fixing member and is movable relative to the fixing member. The return component is disposed on the fixing member and / or the rocker assembly for returning the rocker assembly to its original position. The rocker assembly has a touch end passing through the third through hole, and the touch end can act on the touch screen to achieve touch operation.

[0295] Based on the above-mentioned touch modules that can realize different touch operations, this application can propose a variety of electronic device systems to meet different touch usage needs.

[0300] Please see Figures 32 to 34 , Figure 32 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device system 20 in other embodiments of this application. Figure 33 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device system 20 in other embodiments of this application. Figure 34 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device system 20 in other embodiments of this application. Figures 32 to 34 The diagram illustrates an electronic device system 20 capable of providing different touch-screen user experiences, but it is not limited to this. Figures 32 to 34 This is for illustrative purposes only.

[0301] like Figure 32 As shown, the touch module 200 can be disposed at one end of the electronic device 800, and the touch module 200 can include two first touch components and two second touch components disposed on the assembly. The first touch components can realize the knob function, and the second touch components can realize the button function.

[0302] like Figure 32As shown, multiple touch modules 200 can be provided, with some touch modules 200 located at one end of the electronic device 800 and others at the other end. As shown, two touch modules 200 can be provided, located at opposite ends of the electronic device 800. Each touch module 200 may include two first touch components and three second touch components mounted on an assembly. The first touch components can function as a knob, and the second touch components can function as buttons.

[0303] like Figure 33 As shown, the touch module 200 can be located in the corner area of ​​the electronic device 800, and the touch module 200 can include four second touch components disposed on the assembly. The second touch components can realize button functions.

[0304] Understandable. Figures 32 to 34 The examples illustrate some ways in which the touch module 200 and the electronic device 800 can be coupled and configured, but are not limited thereto. That is, there may be one or more touch modules 200, which can be distributed in the end area or corner area of ​​the electronic device. Furthermore, the number and distribution of the first touch component, second touch component, and third touch component on the touch module 200 may be the same or different.

[0305] Please see Figures 35 to 37 , Figure 35 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device system 40 in other embodiments of this application. Figure 36 yes Figure 35 A schematic diagram of a state of the electronic device system 40 in the embodiment. Figure 37 yes Figure 35 Another schematic diagram of the electronic device system 40 in the embodiment.

[0306] Among them, the assembly 201 can be a protective case for electronic device 800.

[0307] Specifically, the protective case protects the electronic device 800 during use or in the event of drops, impacts, or other accidents, preventing scratches or damage. This electronic device 800 can be a tablet computer, mobile phone, e-reader, remote control, personal computer, laptop computer, in-vehicle device, smart TV, wearable device, etc. The following explanation uses a mobile phone as an example.

[0308] Understandably, the protective case can be a flip-type protective case, that is, the protective case (assembly 201) can include a first housing 410 and a second housing 420 that can move towards or away from each other, so that the electronic device system 40 can switch between a first state and a second state.

[0309] The first housing 410 is configured to mount an electronic device 800 or an electronic device 900, and the second housing 420 is configured to mount a touch component 430. It is understood that the touch component 430 can be at least one of the first touch component 210, the second touch component 220, and the third touch component 230 in the foregoing embodiments.

[0310] Furthermore, a mounting groove 411 is formed on one side of the first housing 410, and a clearance hole 412 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411. When the electronic device is assembled in the mounting groove 411, the touch screen of the electronic device is exposed from the groove opening of the mounting groove 411, and the camera of the electronic device can be positioned opposite to the clearance hole 412 so that the electronic device can realize the image acquisition function through the clearance hole 412.

[0311] The second housing 420 can cover the opening of the mounting slot 411 to protect the electronic device assembled in the mounting slot 411. When the electronic device is assembled in the mounting slot 411 and the second housing 420 covers the opening of the mounting slot 411, the touch component 430 can pass through the second housing 420 and act on the touch screen of the electronic device, thereby realizing touch operation through the touch component 430.

[0312] like Figure 37 As shown, the second housing 420 can move in opposite directions relative to the first housing 410 along the s1 direction, so that the electronic device system 40 can present as shown in the figure. Figure 35 The first state is shown. The second housing 420 can also move relative to the first housing 410 along the s2 direction, so that the electronic device system 40 can present as shown. Figure 36 The second state is shown.

[0313] In the first state, the touch component 430 is located on the side of the first housing 410 facing away from the electronic device. At this time, the touch component 430 cannot function on the electronic device, and the electronic device is in a normal usage mode. In the second state, the touch component 430 can function on the touch screen of the electronic device, and corresponding touch operations can be performed through the touch component 430.

[0314] In one application scenario, let's take a touch module configured to enable the shooting function of an electronic device as an example. Compared to traditional cameras, shooting functions on electronic devices such as mobile phones, which rely on touchscreen operations, often lack a comfortable grip and interactive experience. Specifically, traditional camera shooting typically involves holding the camera and controlling shooting elements using buttons, switches, scrolling, etc., and adjusting relevant shooting parameters via physical buttons. However, when using electronic devices like mobile phones, this lacks a comfortable grip, as all shooting parameters must be interacted with through the touchscreen, lacking the tactile feedback of physical controls. Furthermore, touchscreen interactions usually involve multiple steps; for example, first clicking on the parameter to be adjusted (such as shutter speed), then proceeding to a secondary interface where parameters are adjusted through swiping and other interactive operations.

[0315] Based on this, by applying the touch module in the above embodiments to electronic devices to realize their shooting function, the gap between electronic devices and traditional cameras in terms of shooting experience can be bridged.

[0316] Please see Figure 38 and Figure 39 , Figure 38 These are schematic diagrams of the touchscreen shooting function interface of an electronic device in some embodiments of this application. Figure 39 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the effect of the touch module interacting with the touchscreen to achieve the shooting function. When the electronic device activates the shooting function, the touchscreen display can switch to the shooting interface. For example... Figure 38 As shown, the shooting interface has a window area 820 for image display and an operation area 830 for performing touch operations.

[0317] The touch module 200 can be configured to correspond to the operation area 830 so that the touch components on the touch module 200 can perform corresponding touch operations.

[0318] Understandably, parameter adjustments for electronic device shooting functions primarily involve operations such as knobs and buttons. Based on this, the touch components on the touch module 200 are mainly a first touch component and a second touch component. The first touch component enables knob operation, corresponding to shooting parameter adjustments including: zoom adjustment, white balance adjustment, exposure parameter adjustment, shutter speed adjustment, ISO adjustment, shooting mode adjustment (portrait mode, landscape mode, night scene mode, slow motion mode, time-lapse photography mode, etc.), preset filter adjustment, and other adjustment functions with level attributes common in electronic device photography. The second touch component enables button operation, corresponding to shooting parameter functions including: shutter button, switching shooting and shooting modes, switching between front and rear cameras, flash on / off, and other operation functions with button attributes common in electronic device photography.

[0319] When a touch operation (such as taking a picture) needs to be performed via the touch module, the corresponding function of the electronic device (such as the camera function) must first be activated so that the touch screen displays the corresponding operation interface (such as the camera interface). Optionally, a Hall sensor in the electronic device can sense the magnetic field of the magnet in the touch module. When the distance between the touch module and the touch screen is within a preset range, it can be considered that the touch module has been installed on the electronic device, and the corresponding touch operation can be performed via the touch module. At this time, the Hall sensor can output a detection signal to activate the corresponding function of the electronic device and display the corresponding operation interface on the touch screen.

[0320] Of course, other sensors can also be used to detect the status of the touch module, such as gravity sensors and pressure sensors. When the touch module is installed on an electronic device, the force exerted by the touch module on the electronic device can be detected by the sensors, thereby outputting a detection signal to wake up the corresponding functions of the electronic device and display the corresponding operation interface on the touch screen.

[0321] like Figures 35 to 37 As shown, when the touch module assembly is a protective case for an electronic device, when it is necessary to perform the shooting function through the touch module, the second housing can be placed over the slot of the mounting groove 411, so that the touch component 430 can act on the touch screen of the electronic device.

[0322] Furthermore, since touch modules typically cover the user interface on a touchscreen, it is crucial to achieve better and faster matching between the touch module and the user interface.

[0323] Based on this, embodiments of this application also provide a control method for an electronic device to achieve rapid matching between the touch module and the operating interface.

[0324] Please see Figure 40 , Figure 40 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an electronic device in some embodiments of this application. The control method generally includes the following steps:

[0325] S401. Display the operation interface on the touch screen. The operation interface can display user interface elements that require control operations, and can be used to select the appropriate touch module.

[0326] S402. Assemble the touch module on the electronic device and perform touch operation on the touch screen to obtain the actual position of the touch module on the touch screen.

[0327] When assembling a touch module onto an electronic device, it's uncertain whether the touch terminal of the touch module matches the interface element to be operated. In this case, performing a touch operation on the touch screen using the touch module allows us to obtain the actual position of the touch terminal on the touch screen. This position can then be compared with the displayed interface element to determine if the touch terminal of the touch module matches the displayed interface.

[0328] S403. Adjust the corresponding interface elements on the operation interface to the position where the touch module actually acts on the touch screen, based on the actual position of the touch module acting on the touch screen.

[0329] Understandably, when the touch terminal of the touch module does not match the displayed operation interface, the interface elements in the corresponding area of ​​the operation interface can be adjusted to make them match.

[0330] The above application scenarios primarily illustrate how touch modules compensate for the differences between electronic devices and traditional cameras in performing shooting functions, mainly focusing on image capture. However, for touch modules with more button operations, a reasonable layout of the interaction between the touch module and the electronic device is needed to achieve specific functions, such as music-related controls. Understandably, given the diversity of musical notes, traditional musical instruments typically have dozens or even hundreds of keys, but for music lovers and learners, traditional instruments are prohibitively expensive. Therefore, how to achieve an operating experience similar to that of a traditional musical instrument through the touch operation of electronic devices has become a pressing technical problem for music lovers and learners.

[0331] Electronic Equipment System 60

[0332] Please see Figure 41 and Figure 42 , Figure 41 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device system 60 in other embodiments of this application. Figure 42 yes Figure 41 The embodiment shows a structurally disassembled schematic diagram of the electronic device system 60. The electronic device system 60 may include an electronic device 800 and a touch module 400. The electronic device 800 can be the same as the electronic device described in the previous embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here. The touch module 400 is detachably mounted on the electronic device 800. When the touch module 400 is mounted on the electronic device, it can act on the touch screen 810 to perform physical touch operations such as pressing, rotating, and sliding, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0333] Touch module 400

[0334] The touch module 400 may include a mounting bracket 410 and a touch component 420. The mounting bracket 410 is configured to position and mount the touch module 400 onto the electronic device 800. The touch component 420 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 410 opposite to the electronic device 800 and can act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 through the mounting bracket 410 to achieve touch operation.

[0335] Specifically, the mounting bracket 410 may have a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. The first side is used to assemble with the electronic device 800 to position the touch module 400 on the electronic device 800, and the second side is used to assemble the touch component 420, enabling the touch component 420 to act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 through the mounting bracket 410 to achieve touch operation. In other words, the electronic device 800 and the touch component 420 may be located on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 410, with the first side of the mounting bracket 410 being the side that contacts or is adjacent to the touch screen 810, and the second side being the side of the mounting bracket 410 that is away from the touch screen 810.

[0336] There are multiple touch components 420, and these multiple touch components 420 can be evenly disposed on the second side of the mounting bracket 410. Each touch component 420 can act on the touch screen 810 under the action of external force to realize touch operation. Thus, the multiple touch components 420 can form an operation experience similar to piano keys, so that the electronic device 800 can have a piano experience with physical tactile feedback.

[0337] It is understandable that, given that traditional piano keys generally come in various sizes and types, the dimensions of several touch components 420 may be partially the same or partially different.

[0338] Furthermore, the touch component 420 may include a mounting member 421 disposed on the second side of the mounting bracket 410, and a button 422 disposed on the side of the mounting member 421 opposite to the mounting bracket 410. The mounting member 421 is configured to position and mount the touch component 420 on the second side of the mounting bracket 410. The button 422 is configured to allow the touch module 400 to act on the touch screen 810 to perform touch operation under the action of external force, and to cancel the above action when the external force is removed.

[0339] The mounting component 421 is detachably mounted on the second side of the mounting bracket 410.

[0340] One end of the button 422 can be connected to the mounting member 421, and the other end can be docked with or separated from the mounting member 421. When docked, the button 422 can act on the touch screen 810 of the electronic device 800 through the assembly bracket 410 to achieve a touch operation. In other words, the end of the button 422 connected to the mounting member 421 is configured to position the button 422 on the mounting member 421. The end of the button 422 for docking with or separating from the mounting member 421 is configured to dock with the mounting member 421 under an external force and separate from the mounting member 421 when the external force is withdrawn.

[0341] Refer to Figure 43 and Figure 44 , Figure 43 FIG. is a schematic diagram of a state of the touch component 420 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 44 is Figure 43 Another schematic diagram of the state of the touch component 420 in the embodiment.

[0342] The button 422 may have a connection end 422a and a pressing end 422b that are oppositely arranged. The connection end 422a is configured to be connected to the mounting member 421. The pressing end 422b can be docked with the mounting member 421 under an external force and separated from the mounting member 421 when the external force is withdrawn.

[0343] Specifically, the button 422 can rotate relative to the mounting member 421 with the connection end 422a as a fulcrum, so that the button 422 can assume a first state and a second state. In the first state, the pressing end 422b is separated from the mounting member 421 (as shown in Figure 43 ). In the second state, the pressing end 422b is docked with the mounting member 421 to act on the touch screen 810 (as shown in Figure 44 ).

[0344] Among them, the pressing end 422b can move toward the mounting member 421 under an external force to switch the button 422 from the first state to the second state; when the external force is withdrawn, the pressing end 422b moves away from the mounting member 421 to switch the button 422 from the second state to the first state.

[0345] Further, the connection end 422a and the pressing end 422b respectively protrude from the side of the button 422 close to the mounting member 421, that is, the button 422 can have a "U" - shaped structure or a box - shaped structure with one end open, and the opening of the box - shaped structure faces the mounting member 421.

[0346] In one embodiment, the mounting member 421 may be a plate-like structure and is disposed on the second side of the mounting bracket 410. A button 422 is disposed on the side of the mounting member 421 opposite to the mounting bracket 410. In a first state, the button 422 is inclined relative to the mounting member 421, that is, the connecting end 422a of the button 422 is connected to one end of the mounting member 421, and the pressing end 422b is separated from the other opposite end of the mounting member 421. In a second state, the pressing end 422b is engaged with the other opposite end of the mounting member 421.

[0347] Optionally, the touch component 420 may further include a torsion spring (not shown), one end of which is connected to the connecting end 422a and the other end to the mounting member 421. In the first state, the torsion spring, based on its own shape, separates the pressing end 422b from the mounting member 421. When the pressing end 422b moves toward the mounting member 421 under the action of an external force to switch the button 422 from the first state to the second state, the torsion spring generates a force that can cause the pressing end 422b to move away from the mounting member 421 when the external force is removed, so that the button 422 returns to the first state.

[0348] Optionally, when the pressing end 422b aligns with the other opposite end of the mounting member 421, the pressing end 422b can sequentially pass through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410, and abut against the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation. The touch screen 810 can be a resistive or capacitive touch screen. Of course, in other embodiments, the side of the pressing end 422b near the mounting member 421 may have a protruding structure. This protruding structure can sequentially pass through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410 when the pressing end 422b aligns with the mounting member 421, and abut against the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation.

[0349] Please see Figures 45 to 47 , Figure 45 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch component 420 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 46 yes Figure 45 A schematic diagram of the structure of button 422 in the embodiment. Figure 47 yes Figure 45 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting component 421 in the embodiment.

[0350] The touch component 420 may further include a first magnetic element 420a and a second magnetic element 420b disposed opposite to each other, and a third magnetic element 420c and a fourth magnetic element 420d disposed opposite to each other. At least one of the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b may be provided, and they are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. At least one of the third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d may be provided, and they are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Further, one of the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b is disposed on the connecting end 422a, and the other is disposed on the mounting member 421. The first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b have a magnetic attraction, so that the connecting end 422a can be positioned on the mounting member 421 by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b. One of the third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d is disposed on the pressing end 422b and the other is disposed on the mounting member 421. The third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d have a magnetic repulsive force, so that the pressing end 422b and the mounting member 421 can be separated by the magnetic repulsive force between the third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d.

[0351] Understandably, the number of the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b, as well as the number of the third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d, can be flexibly set as needed.

[0352] Optionally, the magnetic repulsion between the third magnetic element 420c and the fourth magnetic element 420d is greater than the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b, so that the pressing end 422b is separated from the mounting member 421 in the first state. At the same time, when force is applied to the pressing end 422b, there can be a very obvious tactile feedback under the action of magnetic repulsion.

[0353] Understandably, when the magnetic repulsion is too small, it may be difficult to overcome the gravity of button 422 itself and the magnetic attraction.

[0354] In one embodiment, the pressing end 422b has a first conductive portion 422c, which penetrates the pressing end 422b in the direction in which it mates with or separates from the mounting member 421. When the pressing end 422b mates with the mounting member 421, the first conductive portion 422c passes through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410 in sequence, and contacts the touch screen 810 to realize touch operation. At this time, the touch screen 810 can be a capacitive touch screen. Optionally, the surface of the first conductive portion 422c facing away from the mounting member 421 can be coplanar with the surface of the pressing end 422b facing away from the mounting member 421.

[0355] In one embodiment, the mounting member 421 may be a groove-shaped structure, that is, the mounting member 421 has a groove 421a on the side opposite to the mounting bracket 410, and the button 422 is embedded in the groove 421a. Optionally, the button 422 may be a groove-shaped structure, with the opposite side walls of the groove-shaped structure serving as the connecting end 422a and the pressing end 422b of the button 422, respectively. The connecting end 422a is embedded in the groove 421a and can be positioned and mounted at one end of the groove 421a by a torsion spring or a magnetic component. The pressing end 422b is embedded in the groove 421a and is provided corresponding to the other opposite end of the groove 421a.

[0356] As mentioned above, the connecting end 422a and the pressing end 422b protrude from the side of the button 422 near the mounting member 421, that is, the button 422 may include a button body 422c, and a connecting end 422a and a pressing end 422b disposed on the side of the button body 422c near the mounting member 421. In this case, the button 422 is roughly in the aforementioned "U" shaped structure. Of course, in some embodiments, the button 422 may be the aforementioned box-shaped or groove-shaped structure with one end open. In this case, the button assembly 422c may be its groove bottom wall, and the connecting end 422a and the pressing end 422b may be its two oppositely disposed groove side walls.

[0357] When the pressing end 422b can be sequentially inserted through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410, and can abut against the touch screen 810, the height of the pressing end 422b protruding from the button body 422c is greater than the height of the connecting end 422a protruding from the button body 422c. This allows the pressing end 422b to partially and sequentially insert through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410, and to abut against the touch screen 810 to achieve touch operation. In this case, the touch screen 810 can be a resistive touch screen. Of course, there is no specific limitation on the height of the pressing end 422b protruding from the button body 422c and the height of the connecting end 422a protruding from the button body 422c; they can be the same or different. In this case, a protruding structure can be provided at the end of the pressing end 422b facing away from the button body 422c. When the pressing end 422b is connected to the mounting part 421, the protruding structure on the pressing end 422b can be sequentially inserted into the mounting part 421 and the mounting bracket 410, and can abut against the touch screen 810.

[0358] When the height of the pressing end 422b protruding from the button body 422c is basically the same as the height of the connecting end 422a protruding from the button body 422c, the first conductive part 422c passing through the pressing end 422b can protrude from the pressing end 422b on the side of the pressing end 422b away from the button body 422c, and the first conductive part 422c can be exposed on the side of the pressing end 422b away from the mounting member 421. When the pressing end 422b is connected to the mounting member 421, the first conductive part 422c can be sequentially passed through the mounting member 421 and the mounting bracket 410, and can abut against the touch screen 810. At this time, the touch screen 810 can be a resistive touch screen or a capacitive touch screen.

[0359] Please see Figure 48 and Figure 49 , Figure 48 This is a structurally exploded schematic diagram of the touch component 420 in some other embodiments of this application. Figure 49 yes Figure 48 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting component 421 in the embodiment.

[0360] The first conductive part 422c, which passes through the pressing end 422b, can protrude from the pressing end 422b on the side of the pressing end 422b near the mounting member 421, and the first conductive part 422c can be exposed on the side of the pressing end 422b away from the mounting member 421 on the button 422.

[0361] Furthermore, the mounting component 421 is provided with a second conductive part 421b. When the pressing end 422b is connected to the mounting component 421, the second conductive part 421b is connected to the first conductive part 422c. At this time, the second conductive part 421b can act on the touch screen 810 to realize touch operation.

[0362] See also Figure 50 , Figure 50 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting bracket 410 in some embodiments of this application. The mounting bracket 410 is provided with a third conductive part 410c.

[0363] When the touch module 400 is assembled with the electronic device 800, one end of the third conductive part 410c contacts the touch screen 810, and the other end contacts the second conductive part 421b on the mounting member 421. At this time, when a user's finger or other conductor contacts the first conductive part 422c and applies force to the pressing end 422b, causing the pressing end 422b to align with the mounting member 421, the first conductive part 422c contacts the second conductive part 421b, thereby realizing touch operation. The third conductive part 410c is disposed through the mounting bracket 410 in the stacking direction of the mounting bracket 410 and the touch screen 810, so that the third conductive part 410c can contact both the touch screen 810 and the second conductive part 421b.

[0364] Among them, the touch screen 810 can be a capacitive touch screen.

[0365] The touch module 400 has several units, and the first conductive part 422c, the second conductive part 421b and the third conductive part 410c each have several units, and they are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0366] As mentioned above, the mounting component 421 is assembled on the second side of the mounting bracket 410 to position and assemble the touch component 420 on the second side of the mounting bracket 410. The mounting component 421 can be detachably assembled with the mounting bracket 410 through methods such as adhesive bonding, screwing, snap-fitting, or magnetic attraction.

[0367] In one embodiment, the mounting member 421 is detachably assembled with the mounting bracket 410 via a magnetic connection. Specifically, one of the second conductive part 421b and the third conductive part 410c is a magnet and the other is a magnetic component. The second conductive part 421b and the third conductive part 410c attract each other to position and assemble the mounting member 421 onto the mounting bracket 410.

[0368] As mentioned above, one of the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b is disposed on the connecting end 422a and the other is disposed on the mounting member 421. The first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b have a magnetic attraction, so that the connecting end 422a can be positioned on the mounting member 421 by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 420a and the second magnetic element 420b.

[0369] Based on this, taking the first magnetic component 420a disposed on the mounting component 421 as an example, the assembly bracket 410 is provided with a connecting component 410a corresponding to the first magnetic component 420a. The connecting component 410a can be a magnet, attracting the first magnetic component 420a to position and assemble the mounting component 421 onto the assembly bracket 410. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting component 410a can be a magnet or a magnetic attractor, and the first magnetic component 420a can be a magnet, as long as there is a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component 420a and the connecting component 410a.

[0370] In one embodiment, when the connecting end 422a and the mounting member 421 are connected by a torsion spring, the first magnetic member 420a provided on the mounting member 421 and the connecting member 410a provided on the assembly bracket 410 attract each other to position and assemble the mounting member 421 onto the assembly bracket 410.

[0371] In one embodiment, when the connecting end 422a and the mounting member 421 are magnetically attracted to each other by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 420a and the second magnetic member 420b, the first magnetic member 420a further attracts the connecting member 410a to position and assemble the mounting member 421 onto the mounting bracket 410. That is, the second magnetic member 420b and the connecting member 410a can be respectively attracted to the opposite ends of the first magnetic member 420a.

[0372] Understandably, by assembling and connecting the opposite ends of the mounting component 421 to the mounting bracket 410 through the above structural arrangement, the stability of the touch component 420 assembly can be guaranteed.

[0373] In one embodiment, the first side of the mounting bracket 410 may have a first clamping portion 410b and a second clamping portion 410d disposed opposite to each other. The first clamping portion 410b and the second clamping portion 410d cooperate to clamp the electronic device 800, thereby positioning the touch module 400 on the electronic device 800. Specifically, the first clamping portion 410b and the second clamping portion 410d are provided on the side of the mounting bracket 410 away from the touch assembly 420, and can be used to clamp the opposite ends of the electronic device 800.

[0374] See again Figure 41 , Figure 41 The diagram illustrates the X, Y, and Z directions for illustrative purposes. The X direction can be the extension direction of the longer side of the electronic device 800, the Y direction can be the extension direction of the shorter side of the electronic device 800, and the Z direction can be the thickness direction of the electronic device 800. It is understood that the terms "longer side" and "shorter side" are relative and can be switched in some scenarios. The XY plane is approximately parallel to the display surface of the touchscreen 810, or the XY plane roughly defines the display surface of the touchscreen 810. The Z direction is generally orthogonal to the XY plane. Optionally, the Y direction can intersect the X direction, and the Z direction can intersect the XY plane. Preferably, the X, Y, and Z directions are mutually perpendicular. The first clamping part 410b and the second clamping part 410d can clamp onto the two ends of the electronic device 800 that are opposite each other in the X direction, or they can clamp onto the two ends of the electronic device 800 that are opposite each other in the Y direction.

[0375] The mounting bracket 410 has a first edge 411 and a second edge 412 disposed opposite to each other, and a first clamping part 410b and a second clamping part 410d are disposed between the first edge 411 and the second edge 412. The first edge 411 and the second edge 412 can extend in the X direction or in the Y direction, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set them according to actual needs.

[0376] For example, the first clamping part 410b and the second clamping part 410d can be clamped on the two ends of the electronic device 800 that are arranged opposite each other in the first direction. The first edge 411 and the second edge 412 can be the edges of the mounting bracket 410 extending in the first direction. The first edge 411 and the second edge 412 are arranged opposite each other in the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0377] Among them, one of the first direction and the second direction is the X direction and the other is the Y direction.

[0378] When the touch module 400 is mounted on the electronic device 800, the first edge 411 is farther away from the center area of ​​the touch screen 810 than the second edge 412. In other words, the distance between the first edge 411 and the center of the touch screen 810 is greater than the distance between the second edge 412 and the center of the touch screen 810.

[0379] Understandably, with the above structural arrangement, the first edge 411 is closer to the outside of the electronic device 800 than the second edge 412. In this case, the pressing end 422b of the button 422 is located near the first edge 411, and the connecting end 422a is located near the second edge 412, to facilitate the user's corresponding touch operation. Specifically, the button 422 is located between the first edge 411 and the second edge 412, that is, the button body 422c is located between the first edge 411 and the second edge 412. The pressing end 422b is located at the end of the button body 422c near the first edge 411, and the connecting end 422a is located at the end of the button body 422c near the second edge 412.

[0380] Please see Figure 51 , Figure 51 This is a partial structural breakdown diagram of the touch component 420 in some embodiments of this application. The sizes of the various touch components 420 may be partially the same or partially different to meet the needs of different types of piano keys. It is understood that, referring to the arrangement of piano keys, the various touch components 420 can be arranged side-by-side in a first direction.

[0381] Specifically, the touch component 420 may include a first touch component 4201 and a second touch component 4202 arranged side by side in a first direction. The distance between the pressing end 422b of the first touch component 4201 and the first edge 411 is smaller than the distance between the pressing end 422b of the second touch component 4202 and the first edge 411. The distance between the connecting end 422a of the first touch component 4201 and the second edge 412 is substantially the same as the distance between the connecting end 422a of the second touch component 4202 and the second edge 412. At least partially adjacent first touch components 4201 form a clearance space 4203 for accommodating the second touch component 4202.

[0382] Understandably, the first touch component 4201 can be similar to the larger white keys on a piano, and the second touch component 4202 can be similar to the smaller black keys on a piano.

[0383] For first touch components 4201 at different locations, the way in which the clearance space 4203 is formed between the two connection ends 422a of two adjacent first touch components 4201 is slightly different.

[0384] For example, regarding the three first touch components 4201a, 4201b, and 4201c arranged sequentially in the first direction, the first touch component 4201b is located between the first touch components 4201a and 4201c. In this case, a clearance space 4203 is formed between the first touch components 4201a and 4201b, and another clearance space 4203 is formed between the first touch components 4201b and 4201c.

[0385] Specifically, a first clearance portion is formed on the side of the first touch component 4201a near the first touch component 4201b, a second clearance portion is formed on the side of the first touch component 4201b near the first touch component 4201a, a third clearance portion is formed on the side of the first touch component 4201b near the first touch component 4201c, and a fourth clearance portion is formed on the side of the first touch component 4201c near the first touch component 4201b. The first and second clearance portions cooperate to form a clearance space 4203, and the third and fourth clearance portions cooperate to form another clearance space 4203.

[0386] Please see Figure 52 , Figure 52 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the touch component 420 in some other embodiments of this application. The first touch component 4201 has four first touch components 4201e, 4201f, 4201g, and 4201h arranged sequentially in a first direction. In this case, a clearance space 4203 is formed between adjacent first touch components 4201e and 4201f. Another clearance space 4203 is formed between adjacent first touch components 4201g and 4201h. There is no clearance space 4203 between adjacent first touch components 4201f and 4201g for accommodating the second touch component 4202.

[0387] Of course, in other embodiments, the spacing between the plurality of touch components 420 and the first edge 411 / second edge 412 can be arranged in a decreasing or increasing trend in the first direction. Alternatively, the plurality of touch components 420 are arranged side by side in the first direction, and the spacing between the touch component 420 located in the middle in the arrangement direction and the first edge 411 / second edge 412 is the largest or smallest, while the spacing between the touch components 420 located on both sides of the middle touch component 420 and the first edge 411 / second edge 412 can be arranged in a decreasing or increasing trend in the first direction, respectively.

[0388] It is understood that the above embodiments only exemplify the arrangement of the touch component 420, but are not limited thereto. Other arrangements derived directly by those skilled in the art based on the teachings of this application should be understood as being within the scope of protection of this application.

[0389] The touch module and electronic device system provided in this application offer a piano learning experience with tactile feedback by incorporating multiple touch components into the touch module. This allows the touch module to be used in conjunction with an electronic device, enhancing the realism of existing touchscreen-based electronic piano experiences for amateur pianists or beginners. The touch module in this application adopts a passive design concept, eliminating the need for batteries and circuitry, resulting in a simpler overall structure, lower cost, and the ability to achieve customized user experiences at a low cost.

[0390] Furthermore, based on the development of wearable devices, the mainstream product forms of wearable devices include wrist-supported watches (including watches and watch straps), foot-supported shoes (including shoes, socks, or other leg-wearing products in the future), head-supported glasses (including glasses, helmets, and other wearable devices), as well as various non-mainstream product forms such as smart clothing, backpacks, canes, and accessories. Among them, head-mounted devices are wearable devices worn on the user's head. By displaying corresponding content on the display screen of the head-mounted device in areas corresponding to the wearer's left and right eyes, users can experience the display effects of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

[0391] In the AR glasses example, the wearable device can be configured to transmit and receive data from an external processing device via a signal connection, which can be wired, wireless, or a combination thereof. However, in other cases, the wearable device can be used as a standalone device, where data processing occurs within the wearable device itself. The signal connection can be configured to carry any type of data, such as image data (e.g., still images and / or fully moving video, including 2D and 3D images), audio, multimedia, voice, and / or any other type of data.

[0392] External processing devices can be, for example, game consoles, personal computers, tablets, smartphones, or other types of processing devices. Signal connections can be, for example, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connections, Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections, Ethernet connections, cable connections, DSL connections, cellular connections (e.g., 3G, LTE / 4G, or 5G), or combinations thereof.

[0393] Additionally, the external processing device can communicate with one or more other external processing devices via a network, which may be, for example, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), an intranet, a metropolitan area network (MAN), the Internet, or a combination thereof.

[0394] In one example of AR glasses, the display screen is designed to, for instance, overlay an image onto the user's view of their real-world environment by projecting light into the user's eyes. The wearable device may also include an ambient light sensor and an electronic circuitry system to control at least some of the aforementioned components and perform associated data processing functions. The electronic circuitry system may include, for example, one or more processors and one or more memories.

[0395] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can also refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this document based on the specific circumstances.

[0396] Electronic Equipment System 80

[0397] Please see Figure 53 , Figure 53This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use scenario of the electronic device system 80 in some embodiments of this application. The electronic device system 80 may include a processing device 801, a wearable device 700, and a touch module 600. The processing device 801 has a touch screen, and the wearable device 700 has a display screen. The touch module 600 is detachably mounted on the processing device 801. When the touch module 600 is mounted on the processing device 801, the touch module 600 can act on the touch screen of the processing device 801 to realize physical touch operations such as pressing, rotating, and sliding, thereby enriching the user's operation methods and improving the user's physical operation experience. The wearable device 700 can be signal-connected to the processing device 801 so that when the touch module 600 acts on the touch screen of the processing device 801, it can control the display content of the display screen of the wearable device 700, that is, the interaction between the processing device 801 and the wearable device 700 can be realized through the touch module 600.

[0398] The processing device 801 can be either the electronic device 800 or the electronic device 900 in the foregoing embodiments. The processing device 801 can include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), terminal device, etc. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as processing device 801.

[0399] The processing device 801 can be configured to transmit data to the wearable device 700 via a signal connection, which can be a wired connection, a wireless connection, or a combination thereof.

[0400] Wearable device 700 can be VR glasses, AR glasses, MR (Mixed Reality) glasses, or other smart glasses that can be worn on the head. Figure 53 The device is shaped like glasses. The wearable device 700 allows users to experience the display effects of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) by displaying corresponding content in the display areas corresponding to the wearer's left and right eyes.

[0401] The wearable device 700 is signal-connected to the processing device 801 to display content under the control of the processing device 801, that is, the processing device 801 can act as the host of the wearable device 700.

[0402] Understandably, when wearing the wearable device 700, the user's attention is focused on the virtual scene it creates. Blind operation on the touchscreen of the processing device 801 is difficult, requiring frequent head-down checks of button locations. This interaction method hinders smooth user interaction and negatively impacts the overall user experience of the wearable device 700. Therefore, this embodiment of the application provides an interaction method that frees the user's eyes by detachably mounting a touch module 600 on the processing device 801. This allows for physical touch operation via the touch module 600, ensuring a smooth user experience when using the wearable device 700.

[0403] Please see Figure 54 , Figure 54 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device system 80 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 54 The diagram illustrates the structure of the touch module 600 mounted on the processing device 801. The processing device 801 may have multiple edges connected end-to-end, which surround the outer periphery of the touch screen 810 of the processing device 801.

[0404] Taking the rectangular shape of the processing device 801 as an example, the processing device 801 can have four sides connected end to end (first side 801a, second side 801b, third side 801c and fourth side 801d).

[0405] The first side 801a, the second side 801b, the third side 801c, and the fourth side 801d cooperate to form the outer contour shape of the processing device 801 and are disposed around the outer periphery of the touch screen 810. Optionally, the first side 801a and the third side 801c are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other, and the second side 801b and the fourth side 801d are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other. In one embodiment, the first side 801a and the third side 801c have the same length, the second side 801b and the fourth side 801d have the same length, and the length of the first side 801a and the third side 801c is greater than the length of the second side 801b and the fourth side 801d. It is understood that the first side 801a, the second side 801b, the third side 801c, and the fourth side 801d are relative. In this embodiment, the lengths of the first side 801a and the third side 801c are not necessarily greater than the lengths of the second side 801b and the fourth side 801d. Alternatively, the lengths of the first side 801a and the third side 801c can be equal to the lengths of the second side 801b and the fourth side 801d, meaning the processing device 801 is square. Obviously, the processing device 801 can be rectangular, square, trapezoidal, or other shapes. Of course, in other embodiments, the processing device 801 can also be a shape with two, three, or five sides connected end-to-end, etc., which will not be elaborated further.

[0406] Furthermore, a corner region 811 is formed between two adjacent sides of the processing device 801. Taking the processing device 801 as a rectangular shape as an example, it can have four corner regions 811. That is, a corner region is formed between the first side 801a and the second side 801b, another corner region is formed between the second side 801b and the third side 801c, yet another corner region is formed between the third side 801c and the fourth side 801d, and yet another corner region is formed between the fourth side 801d and the first side 801a.

[0407] The touch module 600 is detachably mounted to the corner region 811 and can operate on the portion of the touch screen 810 located in the corresponding corner region 811. It is understood that when the processing device 801 is rectangular, it can have four corner regions 811. Correspondingly, the touch screen 810 has four touch portions corresponding to the four corner regions 811, each touch portion being disposed on one corner region 811 of the processing device 801. There can be one touch module 600, detachably mounted to one of the four corner regions 811. Alternatively, there can be multiple touch modules 600, each detachably mounted to one of the four corner regions 811, meaning each touch module 600 can be configured in a one-to-one correspondence with a corner region 811. Of course, when the shape of the processing device 801 changes, that is, when the number of corner areas 811 changes, the number of touch modules 600 can be changed accordingly, which will not be elaborated further.

[0408] See also Figures 55 to 57 , Figure 55 This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of the processing device 801 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 56 This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of the electronic device system 80 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 57 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the usage state of the electronic device system 80 in other embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 55 As shown, when a user holds and uses the processing device 801 with one hand, the area of ​​the touchscreen 810 that is convenient for the user to operate is usually the corner portion of the touchscreen 810. When the user is accustomed to operating the touchscreen 810 with their right hand, that is, when the processing device 801 is in the form of... Figure 57 In the indicated usage state, the touch module 600 can be a single unit, mounted in the lower right corner of the processing device 801. When the user is accustomed to operating the touchscreen 810 with their left hand, the touch module 600 can be a single unit, mounted in the lower left corner of the processing device 801. Figure 58 As shown, when a user needs to hold and use the processing device 801 with both hands, two touch modules 600 can be provided and respectively installed in the corner areas of the processing device 801 located at the lower left and lower right corners.

[0409] It is understood that the above descriptions of the relative positions of the lower left and lower right corners are only used to explain the relative positional relationship when the user holds the operation processing device 801. If the specific posture changes, the above descriptions of the relative positions will also change accordingly.

[0410] Touch module 600

[0411] Please see Figure 58 , Figure 58 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a touch module 600 in some embodiments of this application. The touch module 600 may include a mounting bracket 610 and touch components 620 disposed on the mounting bracket 610. The number of touch components 620 may be one or more.

[0412] It should be noted that the system level of the processing device 801 mainly has at least three buttons and one area for interactive operation. The system-level interactive module generally includes a screenshot button, a ray calibration button, a confirmation button (Home button), and a free-operation area. Touch operations that can be performed in the free-operation area generally include clicking to confirm and swiping to turn pages.

[0413] Based on this, and considering user comfort during touch operations, and referencing relevant ergonomic data, the touch module 600 is located in the corner area of ​​the processing device 801, and the operating area covered by the touch module 600 on the touch screen 810 is roughly fan-shaped to fit the range of thumb activity when holding the device with one or two hands. Simultaneously, within the aforementioned fan-shaped area of ​​thumb activity, the touch component 620 can be arranged in an arc shape to conform to user operating habits and improve interactive comfort.

[0414] Furthermore, four touch components 620 can be set up based on the above-mentioned system-level interactive operations, corresponding to the screenshot button, the ray calibration button, the confirmation button (Home button), and the free operation area. The arrangement of these four touch components 620 is based on the frequency of operation. For example, the confirmation button is used relatively frequently, so the size of the touch component 620 used as the confirmation button can be relatively large, and it can be set at the center of the arc-shaped extension direction of the fan, that is, placed in the area where the thumb can operate most conveniently and comfortably. The screenshot button is used relatively infrequently, so the touch component 620 used as the screenshot button can be placed in the lower right corner, a less frequently used position.

[0415] It is understood that the above-described distribution of touch components 620 is merely illustrative. Users can flexibly configure the distribution of touch components 620 according to their operating habits to improve the user experience. Furthermore, the above only illustrates the configuration of the corresponding number of touch components 620 for the four basic touch operations at the system level, but it is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can flexibly configure the number of touch components 620 as needed, which will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment.

[0416] Furthermore, the touch operation of the processing device 801 is generally a pressing operation and a sliding operation. In this embodiment, the touch component 620 can be at least one of the touch component 300 and touch component 500 in the previous embodiments to realize the pressing operation and / or sliding operation.

[0417] In other words, the touch component 620 can be the touch components (300, 500) in the aforementioned embodiments. For ease of description below, "touch component 300" can be defined as "first touch component 621" and "touch component 500" can be positioned as "second touch component 622". At least one of the first touch component 621 and the second touch component 622 can be mounted on the mounting bracket 610.

[0418] Referring in conjunction with the touch component 300 in the foregoing embodiments and Figure 59 , Figure 59 This is a schematic diagram of the mounting bracket 610 in some embodiments of this application.

[0419] The mounting bracket 610 may include a first plate 611 and a second plate 612 disposed opposite to each other, and a first side plate 613 and a second side plate 614 disposed between the first plate 611 and the second plate 612. The touch component 620 is detachably mounted on the side of the first plate 611 opposite to the second plate 612, and touch operation can be performed on the side of the first plate 611 close to the second plate 612.

[0420] The mounting bracket 610 is fitted onto the corner region 811 of the processing device 801, that is, the corner region 811 is located between the first plate 611 and the second plate 612, and the first side plate 613 and the second side plate 614 are respectively provided and bent to connect the adjacent sides forming the corner region 811.

[0421] In other words, the first plate 611, the second plate 612, the first side plate 613, and the second side plate 614 surround and form the outer contour of the mounting bracket 610, making the mounting bracket 610 a box-shaped structure with an opening at one end. The corner region 811 of the processing device 801 can move into or out of the mounting bracket 610 through the opening, thereby completing the assembly or disassembly of the processing device 801 and the mounting bracket 610. The first side plate 613 and the second side plate 614 can cooperate to limit the movement of the corner region 811 of the processing device 801 into the mounting bracket 610.

[0422] In one embodiment, an adjusting member 630 is provided on the side of the second plate 612 near the first plate 611. The adjusting member 630 is spaced apart from the first plate 611 so that when the corner region 811 is assembled between the first plate 611 and the second plate 612, it abuts against the side of the processing device 801 away from the first plate 611, thereby allowing the touch component 620 to fully function on the touch screen 810 to ensure the effectiveness of touch operation. In other words, the adjusting member 630 and the first plate 611 define the assembly space for the corner region 811 of the processing device 801, and the two cooperate to clamp the corner region 811.

[0423] The adjusting member 630 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone, so that the same touch component 620 can be adapted to processing devices 801 of different thicknesses, thereby improving the versatility of the touch component 620. It is understood that the adjusting member 630 can be a rib structure provided on the second plate 612, or a sheet structure covering the second plate 612. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjusting member 630 can also be provided on the side of the first plate 611 near the second plate 612, in which case the adjusting member 630 needs to avoid the portion of the touch component 620 that acts on the touch screen 810.

[0424] Furthermore, the first plate 611 is provided with a first through hole 611a. When the first touch component 621 is assembled with the processing device 801, the touch screen 810 can be partially exposed through the first through hole 611a. The touch end of the first touch component 621 can pass through the first through hole 611a and act on the touch screen 810 to realize the corresponding touch operation. The number of the first touch component 621 and the first through hole 611a can be one or more, and when there are multiple, they are respectively set one-to-one.

[0425] The first touch component 621 may include a positioning component 310, a button component 320, and a reset component 330. The positioning component 310 is mounted on the mounting bracket 610. The button component 320 is disposed on the positioning component 310 and is axially movable relative to the positioning component 310 in the first through hole 611a, allowing the button component 320 to switch between an initial state and a pressed state. The reset component 330 is disposed between the positioning component 310 and the button component 320 and is capable of positioning the button component 320 in the initial state. When the button component 320 is in the pressed state, it can act on the touchscreen 810 to achieve touch operation; the reset component 330 allows the button component 320 to return to its initial state.

[0426] In one embodiment, the positioning assembly 310 may include a first positioning member 311 mounted on the first plate 611. Optionally, the first positioning member 311 may be disposed around the first through hole 611a. The button assembly 320 may include a movable member 321 disposed on the first positioning member 311, the movable member 321 being movable axially relative to the first positioning member 311 in the first through hole 611a to act on the touch screen 810. The first positioning member 311 has a receiving groove 311a on the side near the first plate 611, the opening of the receiving groove 311a facing the touch screen 810. The movable member 321 has a main body portion 321a at least partially disposed within the receiving groove 311a and a limiting portion 321b disposed on the periphery of the main body portion 321a. The main body 321a can move within the receiving groove 311a to act on the touch screen 810, and the limiting part 321b cooperates with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a to limit the movement of the main body 321a. Specifically, when the movable member 321 returns to its initial state under the action of the reset component 330, the movable member 321 and the button assembly 320 can be considered to have returned to their initial state when the limiting part 321b abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311a.

[0427] In one embodiment, the button assembly 320 may further include a pressing member 322, which is disposed on the side of the first positioning member 311 opposite to the first plate 611. The pressing member 322 abuts against the main body portion 321a, and the end of the main body portion 321a opposite to the pressing member 322 is the aforementioned touch terminal.

[0428] In one embodiment, the positioning component 310 may further include a second positioning member 312 passing through the first through hole 611a, the second positioning member 312 covering the opening of the receiving groove 311a.

[0429] The movable member 321 can abut against or separate from the second positioning member 312, and the end of the second positioning member 312 opposite to the movable member 321 is the aforementioned touch terminal. Optionally, the button assembly 320 and the second positioning member 312 can be made of conductive material.

[0430] In one embodiment, the second positioning member 312 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 312a, which are arranged sequentially at intervals on the periphery of the movable member 321. A limiting groove 312b is formed between adjacent limiting posts 312a to guide the limiting part 312b to move axially through the first through hole 611a. The limiting groove 312b can guide the movable member 321 to move in a direction close to or away from the second positioning member 312, thereby preventing deviation of the movable member 321's movement. The limiting posts 312a can restrict the movable member 321 from rotating during movement.

[0431] In one embodiment, the first plate 611 has a second mounting groove 201b on one side for assembling the first positioning member 311. The second mounting groove 201b surrounds the outer periphery of the first through hole 611a, meaning it can be annular and communicates with the first through hole 611a. The first positioning member 311 is embedded in the second mounting groove 201b to achieve assembly connection with the assembly part 201. Optionally, the first positioning member 311 can be assembled by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, screw connection, etc.

[0432] It is understood that the technical features of the first touch component 621 not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the specific description of the touch component 300 in the previous embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0433] In one embodiment, the first plate 611 is provided with a second through hole 611b. When the second touch component 622 is assembled with the processing device 801, the touch screen 810 can be partially exposed through the second through hole 611b. The touch end of the second touch component 622 can pass through the second through hole 611b and act on the touch screen 810 to realize the corresponding touch operation. The number of the second touch component 622 and the second through hole 611b can be one or more, and when there are multiple, they are respectively provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0434] Referring in conjunction with the touch component 500 in the foregoing embodiments and Figure 59 The second touch component 622 may include a fixing member 510, a rocker assembly 520, and a return component 530. The fixing member 510 is mounted on the first plate 611, the rocker assembly 520 passes through the fixing member 510 and is movable relative to the fixing member 510, and the rocker assembly 520 has a touch end passing through the second through hole 611b.

[0435] The return assembly 530 is disposed on the fixing member 510 and / or the joystick assembly 520 and is configured to provide a force for moving the joystick assembly 520 from the target position to the initial position.

[0436] In one embodiment, the fixing member 510 may be disposed around the second through hole 611b. The fixing member 510 has a receiving groove 511 and a hole 512 communicating with the receiving groove 511. The receiving groove 511 is disposed on the side of the fixing member 510 near the first plate 611, and when the second touch assembly 622 is assembled on the processing device 801, the opening of the receiving groove 511 faces the touch screen 810. The hole 512 communicates with the side of the receiving groove 511 opposite to the fixing member 510. The rocker assembly 520 has a first portion 521 disposed in the receiving groove 511 and a second portion 522 passing through the hole 512.

[0437] The first part 521 may be the aforementioned touch terminal and may move within the receiving groove 511. The second part 522 protrudes from the surface of the fixing member 510 and may move the first part 521 within the receiving groove 511 when subjected to external force, so that the first part 521 may contact the initial position and the target position of the touch screen 810.

[0438] The rocker assembly 520 may also have a third portion 523, which is disposed on the side of the second portion 522 opposite to the first portion 521 and connected to the second portion 522. The third portion 523 may be spaced apart from the fixing member 510 and is configured to receive external force to move the first portion 521 and the second portion 522. Optionally, the radial width of the third portion 523 in the hole 512 is not less than the radial width of the hole 512.

[0439] In one embodiment, the first plate 611 has a third mounting groove 201c on one side for assembling the fastener 510. The third mounting groove 201c surrounds the outer periphery of the second through hole 611b, that is, the third mounting groove 201c can be annular and communicates with the second through hole 611b. The fastener 510 can be embedded in the third mounting groove 201c to achieve an assembly connection with the first plate 611. Optionally, the fastener 510 can be assembled by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, screw connection, etc.

[0440] Optionally, the fastener 510 can be magnetically attached to the first plate 611. That is, one of the fastener 510 and the first plate 611 has a magnet, and the other has a magnetic component, allowing the fastener 510 to be fixed to the first plate 611 through magnetic attraction. Alternatively, one of the fastener 510 and the third mounting groove 201c has a magnet, and the other has a magnetic component. Of course, in other embodiments, the third mounting groove 201c can be omitted from the first plate 611, meaning the fastener 510 can be directly arranged around the periphery of the second through hole 611b.

[0441] It is understood that any technical features of the second touch component 622 not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the specific description of the touch component 500 in the foregoing embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0442] Furthermore, based on the fact that the area easily operated by the user's thumb is roughly a fan-shaped area, both the first plate 611 and the second plate 612 can be fan-shaped.

[0443] In one embodiment, the first side plate 613 and / or the second side plate 614 of the mounting bracket 610 are provided with a clearance opening 615 for exposing the interfaces of the processing device 801. The processing device 801 typically has a charging interface for charging and a data cable interface for data exchange, while the touch module 600 is typically mounted in the corner area of ​​the processing device 801, potentially covering the charging interface, data cable interface, etc. Therefore, by providing a clearance opening 615 to expose the charging interface, data cable interface, etc., of the processing device 801, the user's needs are met. It is understood that when the charging interface and data cable interface are separate interfaces, multiple clearance openings 615 may be provided, each corresponding to a different interface. When the charging interface and data cable interface are combined into a single interface, only one clearance opening 615 may be provided.

[0444] Please see Figure 60 , Figure 60 This is a partial structural breakdown diagram of the touch module 600 in some embodiments of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the touch module 600 in the previous embodiments is that the structure of the first plate 611 of the mounting bracket 610 is different, and the structure of the touch component 620 is different.

[0445] Specifically, the first plate 611 of the mounting bracket 610 may include a first positioning plate 6111 and a second positioning plate 6112 disposed opposite to each other, wherein the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112 are detachably assembled and connected. The first positioning plate 6111 is connected to the first side plate 613 and the side of the second side plate 613 opposite to the second plate 612. That is, the first positioning plate 6111, the second plate 612, the first side plate 613, and the second side plate 614 surround to form a box-shaped structure with an opening in the mounting bracket 610. When the corner region 811 of the processing device 801 is moved into the mounting bracket 610, the first positioning plate 6111 and the second plate 612 cooperate to clamp the opposite sides of the corner region 811.

[0446] The second positioning plate 6112 is located on the side of the first positioning plate 6111 that is away from the second plate body 612.

[0447] When the first touch component 621 is assembled on the first plate 611, the first positioning plate 6111 can be the second positioning element 312, and the second positioning plate 6112 can be the first positioning element 311.

[0448] Specifically, the movable part 321 of the first touch component 621 is located between the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112, and the pressing part 322 is located on the side of the second positioning plate 6112 opposite to the first positioning plate 6111 and passes through the second positioning plate 6112 to abut against the movable part 321. In other words, the first through hole 611a passes through the second positioning plate 6112, and the end of the pressing part 322 that abuts against the movable part 321 passes through the first through hole 611a to abut against the movable part 321.

[0449] Multiple limiting posts 312a are disposed on the side of the first positioning plate 6111 near the second positioning plate 6112, and these multiple limiting posts 312a are arranged sequentially at intervals on the periphery of the movable member 321. The limiting part 312b of the movable member 321 is located between two adjacent limiting posts 312a, so that the movable member 312 moves under the guidance of the limiting posts 312a, and avoids the movable member 312 from rotating during movement.

[0450] Understandably, the limiting post 312a can be located between the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112, and the two opposite ends of the limiting post 312a abut against the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112 respectively, thereby limiting the travel of the movable part 312 between the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112.

[0451] At this time, the touch screen 810 is a capacitive touch screen. The movable component 321 and the pressing component 322 are made of conductive material. The first positioning plate 6111 is provided with a conductive part 611c. One end of the conductive part 611c is configured to contact the movable component 321, and the other end is configured to contact the touch screen 810. That is, when the touch module 600 is assembled with the processing device 801, one end of the conductive part 611c contacts the touch screen 810, and under the action of external force, the movable component 321 moves to contact the other end of the conductive part 611c, thereby realizing the pressing touch operation on the touch screen 810.

[0452] When the second touch component 622 is assembled on the first plate 611, the first positioning plate 6111 and the second positioning plate 6112 together constitute the fixing member 510 of the second touch component 622.

[0453] The second through hole 611b includes a receiving groove 511 on the first positioning plate 6111 and a hole 512 on the second positioning plate 6112. The opening of the receiving groove 511 faces the touch screen 810, and the hole 512 connects to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 511. In other words, the receiving groove 511 penetrating the first positioning plate 6111 and the hole 512 penetrating the second positioning plate 6112 are connected and constitute the second through hole 611b. The rocker assembly 520 has a first part 521 disposed in the receiving groove 511, a second part 522 passing through the hole 512, and a third part 523 disposed on the side of the second part 522 opposite to the first part 521 and connected to the second part 522. The third part 523 may be disposed on the side of the second positioning plate 6112 opposite to the first positioning plate 6111. One end of the second part 522 is inserted through the hole 512 to connect with the third part 523, and the other end is connected to the first part 521.

[0454] As mentioned above, the touch screen 810 of the processing device 801 can be a capacitive touch screen or a resistive touch screen. When the touch screen 810 is a resistive touch screen, the joystick assembly 520 can cause the first part 521 to abut against the touch screen 810 under the action of external force to realize the sliding touch operation.

[0455] When the touch screen 810 is a capacitive touch screen, the joystick assembly 320 can be made of conductive material. When a finger or conductive object touches any position of the joystick assembly 320, it is equivalent to the finger or conductive object touching the touch screen 810, thereby realizing the corresponding sliding touch operation.

[0456] To quickly match the touch module with the processing device, you can refer to... Figure 40 The control method described in the embodiment enables rapid matching between the touch module and the processing device.

[0457] Understandably, this embodiment can further simplify the structure of the touch module and reduce costs by disassembling the first plate to serve as part of the touch component structure.

[0458] The touch module in this application is a passive control, meaning it requires no power supply structure or related circuit design, which simplifies the structural design and manufacturing process of the touch module. For example, it can be quickly manufactured directly through 3D printing. In other words, the touch module provided in this application has a simple structure, low cost, and is passive and easy to manufacture, making it suitable for use in electronic devices with touchscreens. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned touch module is assembled on a processing device, it can provide more realistic touch operation.

[0459] The touch module provided in this application can be mounted on processing devices with touch screens. Based on the simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and modular design of the touch module, its form factor can be flexible and diverse. Users can customize the dimensions and layout of buttons, knobs, joysticks, etc., to adapt to different processing device appearances and usage scenarios. Furthermore, when the processing device is used in conjunction with wearable devices, a blind control experience can be achieved on the processing device's touch screen.

[0460] It is understood that in the specific application scenarios of the above-described embodiments of this application, the assembly 201, the assembly bracket 410, and the mounting bracket 610 can be interchanged.

[0461] The following describes a wearable device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 61 , Figure 61 This is a schematic block diagram of the structure of a wearable device 700 in some other embodiments of this application. The wearable device 700 can be, for example, VR glasses, AR glasses, MR (Mixed Reality) glasses, or other smart glasses that can be worn on the head. The wearable device 700 can be, for example, shaped like glasses, and can house optical engine components, camera components, etc. It should be noted that this application does not limit the shape and / or style of the wearable device 700.

[0462] Please see Figure 61 The wearable device 700 may include: a data acquisition module 71, a data output module 72, a serial interface 73, and an integrated circuit module 74.

[0463] The serial interface 73 can be, for example, a USB interface that conforms to the USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 3.1 specifications, and may include a Micro USB interface or a USB Type-C interface. Furthermore, the serial interface 73 can also be a signal interface. Even more specifically, the serial interface 73 can be any other type of serial interface capable of being used for serial data transmission.

[0464] The integrated circuit module 74 may include a data conversion module 741 and an interface module 742. The data conversion module 741 is connected to the data acquisition module 71 and the data output module 72 through the interface module 742.

[0465] The data conversion module 741 is used to convert the data acquired from the data acquisition module 71 through the interface module 742 into serial data, and output the converted serial data through the serial interface 73 for processing, such as transmitting it to external devices, such as electronic devices or processing devices for processing.

[0466] The data conversion module 741 is also used to convert the serial data received through the serial interface 73 into interface data that matches the interface protocol of the interface module 742, and transmit the converted interface data to the data output module 72 through the interface module 742, so that the converted interface data can be output to the user through the data output module 72.

[0467] The integrated circuit module 74 can be implemented as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) data integration and processing chip, or it can also be implemented as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0468] The wearable device provided in this application uses an integrated circuit chip. Data is collected through the interface module in the integrated circuit chip, and the collected data and the data received from the host unit are centrally converted through the data conversion module. On the one hand, this can greatly reduce the space and volume of the wearable device, which is conducive to realizing the thinness and lightness of the wearable device; on the other hand, it can also reduce the power consumption of the chip, reduce the heat generation of the wearable device, and improve the user experience; in addition, centralized conversion can also reduce the overall data processing latency of the wearable device.

[0469] Please see Figure 62 , Figure 62 yes Figure 61 Another structural schematic diagram of the wearable device 700 in the embodiment. The integrated circuit module 74 in the wearable device 700 may include multiple interface modules 742, such as I2C interface module, SPI interface module, I2S interface module, SLIMBus interface module and MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) interface module.

[0470] The I2C interface module communicates with connected modules using the I2C bus, a simple, bidirectional, two-wire synchronous serial bus. It requires only two wires to transmit information between devices connected to the bus. The master device initiates data transmission on the bus and generates a clock to enable transmission. At this time, any addressed device is considered a slave device. The master-slave and send-receive relationships on the bus are not constant but depend on the direction of data transmission. If the master device wants to send data to a slave device, it first addresses the slave device, then actively sends data to the slave device, and finally terminates the data transmission. If the master device wants to receive data from a slave device, it first addresses the slave device, then receives the data sent by the slave device, and finally terminates the receiving process. In this case, the master device is responsible for generating the timing clock and terminating the data transmission. Typically, I2C is a control interface used to transmit control signaling.

[0471] The SPI interface module communicates with connected modules using the SPI bus. The SPI bus is a high-speed, full-duplex, synchronous communication bus. The SPI communication principle is simple: it operates in a master-slave mode, typically with one master device and one or more slave devices. It requires four wires: master data input, master data output, clock signal transmission, and master enable signal transmission. The SPI interface is also usually a control interface used to transmit control signals.

[0472] The I2S interface module communicates with connected modules using the I2S bus. The I2S bus is a bus standard designed for audio data transmission between digital audio devices (such as CD players, digital audio processors, and digital TV sound systems). It employs a design that uses separate wires to transmit clock and data signals. By separating data and clock signals, it avoids distortion caused by time differences, saving users the cost of purchasing specialized equipment to combat audio jitter. It is widely used in various multimedia systems. A standard I2S bus cable consists of three serial wires: one Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) data line; one word select line; and one clock line.

[0473] The SLIMBus interface module communicates with connected modules using the SLIMBus bus. The SLIMBus bus is an audio interface specified by the MIPI Alliance for connecting baseband / application processors and audio chips, typically used for transmitting audio data. Each end of the SLIMBus bus consists of an interface device and one or more functional devices, connected via one or more ports. These ports can be input-only, output-only, or bidirectional. The SLIMBus bus supports dynamic stop and restart and supports all sampling frequencies.

[0474] The MIPI interface module communicates with connected modules using the MIPI interface specification. MIPI is an open standard and specification for mobile application processors initiated by the MIPI Alliance. Its purpose is to standardize internal mobile phone interfaces such as camera, display, and RF / baseband interfaces, thereby reducing the complexity of mobile phone design and increasing design flexibility. The MIPI multimedia specification is mainly divided into three layers: application layer, protocol layer, and physical layer. It is primarily used for interfaces of devices such as cameras and displays, and may include interfaces such as the Camera Serial Interface (CSI) and Display Serial Interface (DSI).

[0475] like Figure 62 As shown, the wearable device 700 may include multiple data acquisition modules 71, such as an audio data acquisition module, a video data acquisition module (the camera component in the aforementioned embodiment), an eye-tracking module, and a sensor data acquisition module.

[0476] The audio data acquisition module may include, for example, a microphone and an audio codec. The audio codec encodes the data acquired through the microphone.

[0477] Video data acquisition modules may include, for example, cameras, such as lenses of ordinary cameras or IR lenses of IR (Infrared Ray) cameras.

[0478] Eye tracking is a scientific application technology. When a person's eyes look in different directions, subtle changes occur in the eye, generating extractable features. Computers can capture or scan images to extract these features, thereby tracking eye changes in real time, predicting user states and needs, and responding accordingly. This allows users to control devices with their eyes, such as turning pages without touching the screen. In principle, eye tracking primarily studies the acquisition and modeling of eye movement information and how it can be implemented with software support.

[0479] Eye-tracking modules, as described above, may include eye trackers, image acquisition devices, etc.

[0480] The sensor data acquisition module may include, for example, a proximity sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMD), and an ambient light sensor.

[0481] Among them, proximity sensors (such as the distance sensor installed on the first FPC523) are a general term for sensors that aim to detect objects without contact, replacing contact detection methods such as limit switches. They can detect the movement and presence of objects and convert this information into electrical signals. The detection principle of inductive proximity sensors is based on the influence of an external magnetic field, detecting the magnetic loss caused by eddy currents generated on the surface of a conductor. An alternating magnetic field is generated within the detection coil, and the impedance change caused by the eddy currents generated in the metal body of the object is detected. Furthermore, as another approach, there are aluminum detection sensors that detect frequency and phase components, and all-metal sensors that detect only impedance changes through a working coil.

[0482] An IMU is a device used to measure the three-axis attitude angles (or angular rates) and acceleration of an object. Typically, an IMU contains three single-axis accelerometers and three single-axis gyroscopes. The accelerometers detect the acceleration signals of the object in the independent three axes of the carrier coordinate system, while the gyroscopes detect the angular velocity signals of the carrier relative to the navigation coordinate system. By measuring the angular velocity and acceleration of the object in three-dimensional space, the object's attitude can be calculated.

[0483] A visible light sensor is a device that uses visible light as its detection object and converts it into an output signal. Visible light sensors can sense regularly measured quantities and convert them into usable output signals according to a certain pattern.

[0484] The audio data acquisition module 71 can be connected to the data conversion module 741 via the SLIMBus interface module 742 and the SPI interface module 742. Control signals can be transmitted between the audio data acquisition module 71 and the SPI interface module 742, and audio data can be transmitted between them.

[0485] The video data acquisition module 71 can be connected to the data conversion module 741 via the MIPI interface module 742 and the I2C interface module 742. The video data acquisition module 71 and the MIPI interface module 742 can transmit video data, and the video data acquisition module 71 and the I2C interface module 742 can transmit control signals.

[0486] The eye-tracking module 71 can be connected to the data conversion module 741 via the MIPI interface module 742 and the I2C interface module 742.
