[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] In order to realize switching between a virtual reality (VR) mode and a camera mode by using the same set of electronic device, an electronic device and a method for using the electronic device are provided according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0035] First, an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail, referring to Figure 1 , the device includes:

[0036] an optical system 1, a first display screen 2, a sensor 3, a first adjustment control structure 4, a housing 5, an aperture 6, and a second adjustment control structure 7.

[0037] The housing 5 includes an in-out light side and a back light side, the in-out light side is provided with an opening, the aperture 6 and the second adjustment control structure 7 are arranged on the in-out light side, and the first display screen 2 is arranged on the back light side and inside the housing 5; the second adjustment control structure 7 is used to adjust the opening degree of the aperture 6.

[0038] The optical system 1 is arranged between the aperture 6 and the first display screen 2.

[0039] The sensor 3 is adjusted in position between a first preset position and a second preset position under the control of the first adjustment control structure 4, so that the sensor 3 receives image data collected by the optical system 1 when at the second preset position, and the sensor 3 does not block the light emission of the first display screen 2 in the opening when at the first preset position.

[0040] The structure of a VR device primarily consists of an optical system, display, and housing. This section simplifies the VR device structure and does not detail it in detail. The display is located within and close to one focal length of the optical system. In cameras and other imaging devices, the sensor is located between one and two focal lengths of the optical system. The farther the subject, the closer the sensor is to one focal length. Therefore, the reverse optical path of the VR device's optical system is very similar to that of a camera's optical system.

[0041] In order to combine the VR function with the camera function using the same set of electronic equipment, a sensor, an aperture, a first adjustment control structure and a second adjustment control structure are added to the structure of the relevant VR device to obtain the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device realizes the functions of two optical devices through the forward and reverse light paths of the same optical system. Since a set of optical systems is shared, the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application does not need to perform image processing such as dedistortion, which not only simplifies the structure of the two optical devices, but also improves efficiency. Dedistortion is to convert the image output to the display screen into the corresponding distortion. After passing through the optical system and reaching the human eye, a normal image will be formed in reverse.

[0042] Optical system 1 can be a convex lens or a combination of multiple lenses, and can be specifically configured based on the actual shooting range. The farther the desired shooting range, the longer the focal length of optical system 1; the closer the desired shooting range, the shorter the focal length of optical system 1. In one example, because the human eye views the first display screen 2 from the light entrance and exit sides, the position of the eye can be considered fixed. In this case, the position of optical system 1 is fixed and satisfies the formula 1 / f = 1 / u + 1 / v, where f is the focal length, u is the object distance (i.e., the distance from the first display screen 2 to the optical center of optical system 1), and v is the image distance (i.e., the distance from the human eye to the optical center of optical system 1).

[0043] In an example, Figure 2 As shown, the position of the optical system 1 is adjustable. Specifically, the optical system 1 can be translated along the central axis of the first display screen 2, thereby changing the distance between the optical system 1 and the first display screen 2 to meet different viewing distances of users.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the virtual reality VR mode, the first display screen 2 displays the image to be played, and the first adjustment control structure 4 controls the sensor 3 to be located at Figure 1 The first preset position shown in FIG. 1 is to prevent the sensor 3 from blocking the light path in the VR mode, and the sensor 3 is in a dormant state; the second adjustment control structure 7 controls the aperture 6 to be fully opened, as shown in FIG. Figure 1The solid line of the middle aperture 6 does not block any light ray of the light path in the VR mode; the user wears the electronic device in the VR mode and watches the image to be played displayed by the first display screen 2 through the optical system 1, and the user can adjust the optical system 1 away from or close to the first display screen 2 according to the current VR experience of the user. When the electronic device is in the camera mode, the first display screen 2 is in a dormant state; the first adjustment control structure 4 controls the sensor 3 to be located at the second preset position, as shown in Figure 1 The optical system 1 and the first display screen 2 are shown in the dotted line, and the external light is focused on the sensor 3 after passing through the optical system 1, that is, the image is collected through the sensor 3; the second adjustment control structure 7 controls the aperture 6 to be in the aperture size required for shooting Figure 1 The length of the dotted line part of the aperture 6 changes, the larger the aperture, the more the light quantity, and the smaller the aperture, the less the light quantity; the user uses the electronic device in the camera mode to take a picture, and can adjust the optical system 1 away from or close to the sensor 3 according to the actual situation of the shooting.

[0045] In the case that the position of the optical system 1 is adjustable, in one example, the optical system 1 can be adjusted by a manual adjustment mode, for example, the optical system 1 can be arranged on a slide rod, the tooth pattern of the slide rod is matched with the tooth pattern of a driven gear, the tooth pattern of the driven gear is matched with the tooth pattern of a driving gear, the driving gear is partially or entirely arranged outside the housing 5, the user drives the driven gear by rotating the driving gear, so that the driven gear drives the slide rod to slide, and finally the position of the optical system 1 is adjusted. In one example, an electric motor can also be used as the power for adjusting the optical system 1, and the specific mode in which the electric motor drives the optical system 1 to move can be referred to the prior art, which is not limited in the present application.

[0046] The first display screen 2 can be an AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), or a TN (Twisted Nematic) display screen, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs. The pixels of the TN display screen can change state very quickly, the 1 millisecond response time of the TN display screen can display at least 90 frames per second, which can ensure the high refresh rate of the VR image. The AMOLED display screen has the advantages of high color contrast and high refresh rate. In one example, the first display screen 2 can set the corresponding curvature according to the size of the electronic device, so as to further improve the display effect.

[0047] The sensor 3 can be a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) or the like, which can be selected according to actual needs. The sensor 3 is composed of tens of thousands of small pixels. When the photosensitive device is exposed to light, the light captured by the pixels is immediately converted into electric charges, which are processed into voltages and then amplified by an amplifier. Each amplified voltage is sent to an analog-to-digital converter to be converted into a digital signal and transmitted to a display screen for image display. The larger the area of the photosensitive device, the larger the area of the sensor 3, the more photons captured, the better the photosensitive performance, and the better the imaging effect.

[0048] The first adjustment control structure 4 is used to adjust the position of the sensor 3. Generally, the user does not need to manually adjust the position of the sensor 3, so in some examples, the first adjustment control structure 4 can adopt a composite structure of a motor, a gear, and a slide rod to automatically adjust the position of the sensor 3. In one example, the first adjustment control structure 4 can be connected with a control chip, so as to automatically control the position of the sensor 3 by using the control chip.

[0049] In one example, the second preset position of the sensor 3 can be multiple. For example Figure 4 As shown, the sensor 3 can be translated along the central axis of the optical system 1 under the control of the first adjustment control structure 4, so as to change the distance between the sensor 3 and the optical system 1, to meet the shooting needs of different distances of the user.

[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , the dashed line of the sensor 3 schematically represents the position adjustment of the sensor 3 between the first preset position and the second preset position under the control of the first adjustment control structure 4. The adjustment direction can be selected according to the mode switching, Figure 1 which will not be schematically represented in the following.

[0051] The material of the shell 5 can be ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or aluminum alloy (an alloy with a certain amount of other alloying elements added to aluminum as the base) or the like, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0052] As Figure 1As shown, the opening degree of the aperture 6 is adjustable, and the dashed line of the aperture 6 represents the opening degree of the aperture 6. The greater the opening degree of the aperture 6, the shorter the dashed line, indicating that the aperture 6 blocks less light on the light-in and light-out side; the smaller the opening degree of the aperture 6, the longer the dashed line, indicating that the aperture 6 blocks more light on the light-in and light-out side. The adjustment direction and degree of the aperture 6 can be selected according to actual conditions, and the specific structure can refer to the aperture structure in related technologies, which will not be described here. The aperture 6 can determine the amount of light entering the light-in and light-out side. The greater the aperture, the more light entering, and the brighter the image captured; the smaller the aperture, the less light entering, and the darker the image captured.

[0053] In a possible implementation, the aperture 6 includes a left-eye aperture and a right-eye aperture. For example Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the aperture 6 is fully opened, Figure 3 As shown, the aperture 6 is fully opened, Figure 5 As shown, the aperture 6 is fully opened,

[0054] In one example, the opening degree of the left-eye aperture and the right-eye aperture can be simultaneously controlled by a second adjustment control structure 7, so that the opening degrees of the two apertures are consistent; or the opening degrees of the left-eye aperture and the right-eye aperture can be respectively controlled by two second adjustment control structures 7, so that the opening degrees of the two apertures are consistent.

[0055] The second adjustment control structure 7 is used for the opening degree of the aperture 6. Generally, the user does not need to manually adjust the opening degree of the aperture 6, so in some examples, the second adjustment control structure 7 can adopt a composite structure of a motor, a gear and a slide rod to realize automatic adjustment of the opening degree of the aperture 6. In one example, the second adjustment control structure 7 can be connected with a control chip, so as to automatically control the opening degree of the aperture 6 by using the control chip.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, through the adjustment of the sensor by the first adjustment control structure and the adjustment of the aperture by the second adjustment control structure, the switching between the virtual reality (VR) mode and the camera mode can be realized for the same set of electronic devices.

[0057] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 2 In the virtual reality (VR) mode, the first adjustment control structure 4 controls the sensor 3 to be located at the first preset position, and the second adjustment control structure 7 controls the aperture 6 to be fully opened; and the first display screen 2 is used to display the image to be played.

[0058] In the virtual reality VR mode, the image to be played displayed on the first display screen 2 in the housing 5 needs to be magnified by the optical system 1 before entering the human eye. In one example, the optical system 1 can be composed of a single lens or multiple lenses. The sensor 3 is adjusted to the first preset position by the first adjustment control structure 4 so that the sensor 3 does not block the light path in the VR mode. In one example, the first adjustment control structure 4 can be located at Figure 2 The position shown in FIG. 1 and the sensor 3 are raised to the first preset position by themselves. Alternatively, the sensor 3 can be located at another position and raised / lowered to the first preset position by themselves. The present embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the position of the first adjustment control structure 4 and the first preset position. In one example, the control method of the first adjustment control structure 4 can be manual control or electric control, which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0059] In a possible implementation, in the virtual reality VR mode, the sensor 3 is in a dormant state.

[0060] That is to say, in the virtual reality VR mode, sensor 3 does not work.

[0061] The aperture 6 is fully opened by the second adjustment control structure 7. Figure 2 In the position shown in , any light in the light path in the VR mode is not blocked. In one example, the control method of the second adjustment control structure 7 can be manual control or electric control, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0062] After the first display screen 2 is lit, the image to be played is displayed. The user wears the electronic device and views the displayed image to be played through the optical system 1 .

[0063] In one example, the user can adjust the optical system 1 to move away from or closer to the first display screen 2 based on his or her current VR experience. The optical system 1 can be controlled to move away from or closer to the first display screen 2 through a mechanical structure, or through an electric structure.

[0064] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main view of an electronic device in virtual reality VR mode (the perspective is the left eye circle and the right eye circle).

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the sensor is controlled to be located at a first preset position through the first adjustment control structure, and the aperture is controlled to be fully opened through the second adjustment control structure, so that the electronic device is configured into a virtual reality VR mode, so that the user can view the image to be played through this mode.

[0066] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4In the camera mode, the first adjusting control structure 4 controls the sensor 3 to be located at the second preset position; and the second adjusting control structure 7 controls the aperture 6 to be at a required aperture size for shooting.

[0067] In the camera mode, the first adjusting control structure 4 controls the sensor 3 to be located at the second preset position, as shown in Figure 4 The optical system 1 and the first display screen 2 are located between the first display screen 2 and the front of the first display screen 2, and the external light is focused on the sensor 3 through the optical system 1, that is, the image is collected through the sensor 3. In one example, the first adjusting control structure 4 can be located at the position shown in Figure 4 The first adjusting control structure 4 can be located at the position shown in

[0068] In one example, the control mode of the first adjusting control structure 4 can be manual control or electric control, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitation on this.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the second preset position is multiple, and the distance between the sensor and the optical system is different when the sensor is at different second preset positions, so as to adjust the image distance between the sensor and the optical system.

[0070] Referring to the dashed line of the sensor 3 in Figure 4 The sensor 3 can be translated between the first display screen 2 and the optical system 1, that is, the second preset position of the sensor 3 is multiple. The translation direction can be selected according to the actual situation, Figure 4 The above is not shown in

[0071] In order to realize focusing, the sensor 3 can be controlled to be away from or close to the optical system 1 through a mechanical structure, or the sensor 3 can be controlled to be away from or close to the optical system 1 through an electric structure. Alternatively, the optical system 1 can be controlled to be away from or close to the sensor 3 through a mechanical structure, or the optical system 1 can be controlled to be away from or close to the sensor 3 through an electric structure.

[0072] In one possible implementation, in the camera mode, the first display screen 2 is in a dormant state.

[0073] That is, in the camera mode, the first display screen 2 does not work, or the first display screen 2 displays a completely black picture.

[0074] The aperture 6 for the camera system is moved to a size required for taking a picture by the second adjustment control structure 7. Since the optical system is shared, the aperture 6 in the camera mode has the same aperture size as the designed pupil size of the human eye in the virtual reality (VR) mode, and the distance between the aperture 6 and the optical system 1 in the camera mode is equal to the exit pupil distance in the virtual reality (VR) mode. The exit pupil distance is the distance from the vertex of the last surface of the optical system to the intersection point of the exit pupil plane and the optical axis. In visual optical equipment, the pupil of the human eye must coincide with the exit pupil to see the entire field of view.

[0075] Figure 5 The main view schematic diagram of the electronic device in the camera mode (the view angle is the left eye aperture and the right eye aperture).

[0076] In the embodiment of the application, the sensor is controlled to be located at the second preset position by the first adjustment control structure, the aperture is controlled to be at a size required for taking a picture by the second adjustment control structure, and the electronic device is configured to be in the camera mode, so that the user can take pictures by himself.

[0077] In a possible implementation, the electronic device further comprises a second display screen 8, which is arranged outside the shell 5 and used to display the image collected by the sensor 3.

[0078] In a possible implementation, as shown in Figure 6 , the second display screen 8 is arranged outside the shell 5 and on the backlit side.

[0079] In order to facilitate the user to view the actual image content when using the camera mode, a second display screen 8 is arranged outside the shell 5 and on the backlit side. When the electronic device is switched to the camera mode, the second display screen 8 is lighted, and the image signal is transmitted to the second display screen 8 for display by the sensor 3.

[0080] In an example, the displayed image can be a real-time image or an image already taken by the user.

[0081] In the embodiment of the application, the second display screen is arranged outside the shell and on the backlit side, and is used to display the image collected by the sensor.

[0082] In a possible implementation, as shown in Figure 7 , the second display screen 8' is arranged outside the shell 5, one end of the second display screen 8' is connected to the top end of the shell 5 through a rotating mechanism 9, and the second display screen 8' can rotate around the rotating mechanism 9 as the axis.

[0083] A second display screen 8' is arranged on the outside and top end of the electronic device shell 5. When the electronic device is switched to the camera mode, the second display screen 8' is lighted up and raised (solid line position in the middle), the image of the second display screen 8' is directed to the opposite direction of the target to be photographed, and the image signal is transmitted to the second display screen 8' through the sensor 3 for display. Figure 7

[0084] In an example, the displayed image can be a real-time image or an image already photographed by the user.

[0085] When the camera mode is turned off or switched to the virtual reality (VR) mode, the second display screen 8' is turned off and laid flat (dashed line position in the middle). Figure 7

[0086] In an example, the control mode of the second display screen 8' can be electric control or manual control, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the application.

[0087] In the embodiments of the application, the second display screen is arranged on the outside of the shell, and one end of the second display screen is connected to the top end of the shell through a rotating mechanism, for displaying the image collected by the sensor.

[0088] In a possible implementation, the electronic device further comprises a mode conversion button for switching between the virtual reality (VR) mode and the camera mode.

[0089] The mode conversion button can be connected to a control chip, and the control chip is connected to the first adjusting control structure and the second adjusting control structure. After the user presses the mode conversion button, the mode conversion button sends a control signal to the control chip, and the control chip drives the first adjusting control structure and the second adjusting control structure after receiving the control signal, so as to switch between the VR mode and the camera mode.

[0090] In an example, the user can control the electric and mechanical structure through the mode conversion button on the electronic device, to switch between the virtual reality (VR) mode and the camera mode.

[0091] In an example, the transmission of the image signal can be controlled through the mode conversion button on the electronic device, to display the image to be played or the image photographed by the user.

[0092] The schematic diagram of the mode conversion button is not shown in the application.

[0093] In the embodiments of the application, the mode conversion button is used to switch between the virtual reality (VR) mode and the camera mode.
