Description
Light-emitting components, electronic devices and their control methods Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a light-emitting component, an electronic device, and a control method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of electronic device technology, light-emitting components have become important functional parts of electronic devices, such as for illumination and supplemental lighting during camera module shooting. In related technologies, when a light-emitting component is fixed, it can only illuminate a fixed area. However, in some application scenarios, users need to illuminate different localized areas according to their needs. For example, in a camera module shooting scenario, the user only needs to illuminate the darker areas of the shooting area. However, the light-emitting components in related technologies cannot achieve this, therefore, they cannot meet the user's need for supplemental lighting in different localized areas. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention discloses a light-emitting component, an electronic device, and a control method thereof, in order to solve the problem that light-emitting components in related technologies cannot meet the user's needs for supplemental lighting in different local areas.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:
[0005] In a first aspect, this application discloses a light-emitting component, including a light-emitting element, a circuit board, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a movable element and a plurality of driving elements. The plurality of driving elements are disposed on the circuit board and form a receiving space. The movable element is movably disposed within the receiving space. The light-emitting element is connected to the movable element. When the plurality of driving elements drive the movable element to move within the receiving space, the movable element drives the light-emitting element to move, thereby adjusting the projection direction of the light-emitting element.
[0006] Secondly, this application also discloses an electronic device including the light-emitting component described in the first aspect.
[0007] Thirdly, this application also discloses a control method for an electronic device, wherein the electronic device is the electronic device described in the second aspect, and the control method includes:
[0008] A first region of the shooting area is determined, wherein: the first region is a part of the shooting area, and the brightness of the first region is less than the brightness of other regions of the shooting area;
[0009] The plurality of driving components are controlled to drive the movable component to move the light-emitting component, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component is projected onto the first area of the shooting area.
[0010] The technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0011] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application discloses an adjustment mechanism comprising a movable component and multiple driving components. These driving components form a receiving space, and the movable component is disposed within this space. The driving components limit the movement of the movable component within the receiving space, making its movement more stable. This, in turn, makes the movement of the light-emitting component driven by the movable component more stable. The multiple driving components not only drive the movement of the light-emitting component but also form the receiving space for mounting the movable component. Since the light-emitting component is connected to the movable component, when the multiple driving components drive the movable component to move within the receiving space, the movable component can drive the light-emitting component to move, thereby adjusting the projection direction of the light-emitting component. This allows the light-emitting component to project light onto different local areas, thus solving the problem that light-emitting components in related technologies cannot meet the user's need for supplemental lighting in different local areas.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0026] The technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8. This embodiment of the invention discloses a light-emitting component, which includes a light-emitting element 110, a circuit board, and an adjustment mechanism 120. The light-emitting element 110 can be a component that emits visible light, or a component that emits infrared light, or of course, a component that emits other types of light. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of light-emitting element 110.
[0028] The adjustment mechanism 120 includes a movable member 121 and multiple driving members 122. The multiple driving members 122 are disposed on the circuit board and form a receiving space 123, and the movable member 121 is movably disposed within the receiving space 123.
[0029] It should be noted that when the movable part 121 is disposed within the receiving space 123, the movable part 121 can move within the receiving space 123. Multiple driving parts 122 can restrict the movable part 121 from leaving the receiving space 123, and multiple driving parts 122 can drive the movable part 121 to move within the receiving space 123. Specifically, the driving parts 122 can drive the movable part 121 to move within the receiving space 123, or they can drive the movable part 121 to rotate within the receiving space 123. This embodiment does not specifically limit the form in which the driving parts 122 drive the movable part 121 to move.
[0030] The light-emitting element 110 is connected to the movable element 121. When multiple driving elements 122 drive the movable element 121 to move within the receiving space 123, the movable element 121 drives the light-emitting element 110 to move, thereby adjusting the projection direction of the light-emitting element 110.
[0031] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application has an adjustment mechanism 120 that includes a movable member 121 and multiple driving members 122. The multiple driving members 122 can form a receiving space 123, and the movable member 121 can be disposed within the receiving space 123. The multiple driving members 122 can limit the movable member 121, making the movement of the movable member 121 within the receiving space 123 more stable. This makes the movement of the light-emitting component 110 driven by the movable member 121 more stable. The multiple driving members 122 not only play the role of driving the movement of the light-emitting component 110, but also form the receiving space 123 for mounting the movable member 121. This dual-purpose design simplifies the structure of the light-emitting component. Since the light-emitting element 110 is connected to the movable element 121, when multiple driving elements 122 drive the movable element 121 to move within the accommodating space 123, the movable element 121 can drive the light-emitting element 110 to move, thereby adjusting the projection direction of the light-emitting element 110. This allows the light-emitting element 110 to project light onto different local areas, thus solving the problem that the light-emitting components in related technologies cannot meet the user's need for supplementary lighting in different local areas.
[0032] In this embodiment, the driving element 122 can be a drive motor, and multiple drive motors can be connected to the movable element 121. Through the cooperation of the multiple drive motors, the movable element 121 can be driven to move within the receiving space 123. However, to keep the structure of the adjustment mechanism 120 relatively simple, the driving element 122 can optionally be an electromagnetic element, and the movable element 121 can optionally be a magnetic element. When multiple electromagnetic elements are energized, they can magnetically cooperate with the magnetic element to drive the magnetic element to move within the receiving space 123.
[0033] It should be noted that by controlling the on / off state and magnitude of the current in the electromagnetic components, the magnitude of the magnetic attraction or repulsion between the electromagnetic and magnetic components can be controlled. Furthermore, the interaction of multiple electromagnetic components can drive the magnetic component to move within the accommodating space 123. The projection direction of the light-emitting component 110 and its interaction with the multiple electromagnetic components can be obtained experimentally and preset in the light-emitting assembly. The magnetic component can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic component; this application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of magnetic component.
[0034] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application sets the driving element 122 as an electromagnetic element and the movable element 121 as a magnetic element, so that the movement of the magnetic element can be driven simply by controlling the on / off state and magnitude of the current of the electromagnetic element. This makes the control method relatively simple and enables stepless driving of the movable element 121 by the driving element 122, thereby making the movement of the movable element 121 driven by the driving element 122 more stable.
[0035] To avoid friction between the electromagnetic components and the magnetic components when the electromagnetic components drive the magnetic components to move, which would cause wear to the electromagnetic components and the magnetic components, optionally, when multiple electromagnetic components are energized, multiple electromagnetic components and magnetic components are magnetically coupled, so that the magnetic components are suspended in the receiving space 123 and can be driven to move in the receiving space 123.
[0036] It should be noted that multiple electromagnetic components and magnetic components can attract or repel each other. The magnetic component can be suspended in the air by the interaction of the attractive or repulsive forces between multiple electromagnetic components and magnetic components.
[0037] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application uses multiple electromagnetic components and magnetic components in magnetic cooperation to suspend the magnetic components within the receiving space 123. This prevents friction between the electromagnetic components and the magnetic components when the multiple electromagnetic components drive the magnetic components to move within the receiving space, thereby avoiding wear between the electromagnetic components and the magnetic components.
[0038] Optionally, there can be eight drive members 122, which can be symmetrically distributed around the center of the receiving space 123. By symmetrically distributing the eight drive members 122 around the center of the receiving space 123, the drive members 122 can drive the movement of the movable member 121 more precisely.
[0039] To reduce the weight of the light-emitting component, the movable part 121 can optionally be a hollow structural part.
[0040] In one optional embodiment, the movable component 121 may include a spherical shell 1211 and a support plate 1213. A driving component 122 can drive the spherical shell 1211 to move. The support plate 1213 may be disposed within the spherical shell 1211. The spherical shell 1211 may have an opening 1212. The light-emitting component may further include a transmission component 130. A first end of the transmission component 130 may be connected to the light-emitting component 110, and a second end of the transmission component 130 may extend into the spherical shell 1211 through the opening 1212. The movement of the spherical shell 1211 can drive the support plate 1213 and the transmission component 1213 to move. The two ends are in contact and engaged, and the inner wall of the opening 1212 is driven to contact and engage with the transmission component 130 to drive the transmission component 130 to move the light-emitting component 110. The distance between the first end of the transmission component 130 and the opening 1212 is greater than the distance between the second end of the transmission component 130 and the opening 1212. This allows the inner wall of the opening 1212 to serve as a fulcrum for the transmission component 130. As a result, the small range of motion of the spherical shell 1211 is amplified by the transmission component 130 and transmitted to the light-emitting component 110, thereby amplifying the range of motion of the light-emitting component 110 and increasing its range of motion.
[0041] Furthermore, the second end of the transmission member 130 may have a limiting protrusion 131. When the transmission member 130 is at a first angle relative to the spherical housing 1211, the limiting protrusion 131 can extend into the spherical housing 1211 through the opening 1212. When the transmission member 130 is at a second angle relative to the spherical housing 1211, the limiting protrusion 131 makes limiting contact with the inner wall of the adjacent opening 1212 of the spherical housing 1211 to restrict the second end of the transmission member 130 from moving out of the opening 1212, thereby making the transmission member 130 detachably connected to the spherical housing 1211, thus facilitating the disassembly of the transmission member 130 from the movable member 121.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 120 may further include a mounting bracket 124, a plurality of driving elements 122 may be disposed on the mounting bracket 124, the circuit board may include a first rigid circuit board 200 and a flexible circuit board 700, the mounting bracket 124 may be disposed on the first rigid circuit board 200, and the light-emitting element 110 and the first rigid circuit board 200 may be electrically connected through the flexible circuit board 700.
[0043] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application embodiment uses a mounting bracket 124 to set the circuit board in a structure including a first rigid circuit board 200 and a flexible circuit board 700. Multiple driving elements 122 can be disposed on the mounting bracket 124, and the mounting bracket 124 can be disposed on the first rigid circuit board 200, thereby making the connection between the multiple driving elements 122 and the first rigid circuit board 200 through the mounting bracket 124 more compact. The flexible circuit board 700 allows the light-emitting element 110 and the first rigid circuit board 200 to be electrically connected through the flexible circuit board 700.
[0044] To facilitate the installation of the light-emitting element 110, the circuit board may optionally include a second rigid circuit board 500. The light-emitting element 110 may be disposed on the second rigid circuit board 500. The second rigid circuit board 500 may be movably disposed on the mounting bracket 124. The second rigid circuit board 500 may be connected to the movable element 121. When multiple driving elements 122 drive the movable element 121 to move within the receiving space 123, the movable element 121 may drive the light-emitting element 110 to move through the second rigid circuit board 500. The second rigid circuit board 500 and the first rigid circuit board 200 may be electrically connected through the flexible circuit board 700.
[0045] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application embodiment, by setting a second rigid circuit board 500, allows the light-emitting element 110 to be disposed on the second rigid circuit board 500, thereby facilitating the installation of the light-emitting element 110. Moreover, the mounting bracket 124 can not only provide a mounting base for the driving element 122, but also provide a mounting base for the second rigid circuit board 500, thereby making the overall structure formed by the driving element 122, the first rigid circuit board 200, the second rigid circuit board 500, the flexible circuit board 700 and the mounting bracket 124 more compact.
[0046] Optionally, the light-emitting component may also include a board-to-board connector 600, which may be disposed on the first rigid circuit board 200. The flexible circuit board 700 may be connected to the board-to-board connector 600. The flexible circuit board 700 may be electrically connected to the first rigid circuit board 200 through the board connector 600, thereby making the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board 700 and the first rigid circuit board 200 more stable.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting component may further include a light-transmitting cover plate 300, which may be connected to the second rigid circuit board 500 and is disposed on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 110. The light-emitting component disclosed in this application can protect the light-emitting element 110 by providing a light-transmitting cover plate 300 on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 110.
[0048] To prevent light emitted by the light-emitting element 110 from being projected into areas outside the projection direction, the light-emitting component may optionally include a flexible light-blocking element 400. The flexible light-blocking element 400 may be disposed around the light-emitting element 110 and sealed between the light-transmitting cover plate 300 and the second rigid circuit board 500. The flexible light-blocking element 400 may deform with the movement of the second rigid circuit board 500. The flexible light-blocking element 400 may be a flexible foam element, a rubber element, a silicone element, etc. This application does not limit the specific type and material of the flexible light-blocking element 400.
[0049] The light-emitting component disclosed in this application embodiment is provided with a flexible light-blocking component 400. The flexible light-blocking component 400 is arranged around the light-emitting component 110 and connected between the light-transmitting cover plate 300 and the second rigid circuit board 500. The flexible light-blocking component 400 can deform with the movement of the second rigid circuit board 500, so that the flexible light-blocking component 400 can prevent the light emitted by the light-emitting component 110 from leaking, thereby preventing the light emitted by the light-emitting component 110 from being projected to areas outside the projection direction.
[0050] In one optional embodiment, the light-emitting component may further include a controller, which may be connected to the light-emitting element 110. The controller may control the light-emitting intensity of the light-emitting element 110 according to the brightness of the supplementary lighting area of the light-emitting element 110, thereby optimizing the supplementary lighting performance of the light-emitting element 110 on the supplementary lighting area.
[0051] This application also discloses an electronic device, which includes the light-emitting component disclosed in the above embodiments. By including the light-emitting component in the above embodiments, the electronic device disclosed in this application can adjust the projection direction of the light-emitting element 110, thereby enabling the light-emitting element 110 to project light onto different local areas. This solves the problem that the light-emitting components in related technologies cannot meet the user's need for supplemental lighting in different local areas.
[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, tablet, game console, or other electronic device. This application does not impose specific restrictions on the type of electronic device.
[0053] To optimize the shooting performance of the electronic device, the electronic device may optionally include a camera module. When the camera module is in shooting mode, the camera module has a shooting area. Multiple driving components 122 drive the moving component 121 to move the light-emitting component 110 so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component 110 is projected onto a first area of the shooting area. The first area is a part of the shooting area, and the brightness of the first area is less than the brightness of other areas of the shooting area.
[0054] It should be noted that the first region can be determined manually. For example, a user can select a portion of the captured image corresponding to the shooting area, and then determine the first region based on the correspondence between the shooting area and the captured image. Alternatively, the first region can be determined automatically by the electronic device. For instance, the electronic device can process the captured image corresponding to the shooting area to identify areas with lower brightness, and then determine the first region based on the correspondence between the shooting area and the captured image. Of course, the electronic device can also directly detect the brightness of the shooting area to determine the first region.
[0055] The electronic device disclosed in this application embodiment, by setting up a camera module, enables multiple driving components 122 to drive movable components 121 to move the light-emitting component 110 when the camera module is in shooting mode. This causes the light emitted by the light-emitting component 110 to be projected onto a first area of the shooting area. Since the brightness of the first area is lower than that of other areas of the shooting area, when other areas are brighter and do not require supplemental lighting, only the first area with lower brightness needs to be supplemented with light. This allows the electronic device to flexibly perform regional dynamic supplemental lighting, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive brightness in some areas of the shooting area due to further supplemental lighting in areas with higher brightness, which would affect the image quality captured by the camera module.
[0056] To enable intelligent brightness adjustment of the shooting area, the electronic device may optionally include a controller. The controller can be connected to the light-emitting element 110 and can be used to control the light intensity of the light-emitting element 110 based on the brightness difference between the first area and other areas of the shooting area, so that the brightness difference is within a preset range. It should be noted that the preset range can be set manually.
[0057] This application also discloses a control method for an electronic device, wherein the disclosed electronic device is the electronic device disclosed in the above embodiments, and the disclosed control method includes:
[0058] S101, the first area to determine the shooting area;
[0059] S102, control multiple driving elements 122 to drive moving elements 121 to move light-emitting elements 110 so that the light emitted by light-emitting elements 110 is projected onto the first area of the shooting area.
[0060] It should be noted that the first area is a portion of the shooting area, and the brightness of the first area is less than that of other areas of the shooting area.
[0061] The control method for an electronic device disclosed in this application determines a first area of the shooting area and controls multiple driving components 122 to drive the moving component 121 to move the light-emitting component 110, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component 110 is projected onto the first area of the shooting area. Since the brightness of the first area is less than that of other areas of the shooting area, when the brightness of other areas is high and no supplementary light is needed, only the first area with lower brightness needs to be supplemented. This allows the electronic device to flexibly perform regional dynamic supplementary light, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive brightness in some areas of the shooting area, which would affect the image quality captured by the camera module.
[0062] Optionally, a first area for determining the shooting area includes:
[0063] Step A1: Receive the user's first input on the captured image corresponding to the shooting area.
[0064] Specifically, the electronic device may include a display screen. When the camera module is in shooting mode, the display screen can display the captured image corresponding to the shooting area. The first input may be an operation such as clicking or long-pressing the display screen.
[0065] Step A2: Determine the first region based on the first input.
[0066] Specifically, the shooting area and the shooting image can have a corresponding relationship. After determining the supplementary lighting area of the shooting image through the first input, the first area of the shooting area can be determined, wherein the supplementary lighting area in the shooting image corresponds to the first area of the shooting area.
[0067] The control method for an electronic device disclosed in this application can improve the operability of the electronic device by receiving a first input from a user in the captured image corresponding to the shooting area and determining a first area based on the first input.
[0068] Optionally, the control method may also include:
[0069] Step B1: Receive the user's second input on the captured image.
[0070] Step B2: Control the light intensity of the light-emitting element 110 according to the second input.
[0071] Specifically, in the case of electronic devices including displays, users can tap or long-press on the area in the captured image that needs additional lighting. A progress bar will appear in the area requiring additional lighting, and the light intensity of the light-emitting element 110 can be controlled by moving the progress bar. For example, the progress bar can be dragged up and down; dragging the progress bar up increases the light intensity of the light-emitting element 110, while dragging it down decreases the light intensity. After adjustment, the effect of the adjustment on the captured image can be previewed in the preview frame.
[0072] It should be noted that the steps in the control method disclosed in this application have the same or similar functions as the components of the electronic device disclosed in the above embodiments, and they can be referred to each other. They will not be described again here.
[0073] Optionally, as shown in FIG7, this application embodiment further discloses an electronic device 900, including a processor 901, a memory 902, and a program or instructions stored in the memory 902 and executable on the processor 901. When the program or instructions are executed by the processor 901, they implement the various processes of the control method embodiment of the display module shown in FIG6 above and can achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, they will not be described again here.

Specifically, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, wherein the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 10061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 10061 and / or the backlight when the electronic device 1000 is moved to the ear.
[0083] The display unit 1006 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 1006 may include a display panel 10061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.
[0084] User input unit 1007 can be used to receive input numerical or character information, and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the electronic device. Specifically, user input unit 1007 includes touch panel 10071 and other input devices 10072. Touch panel 10071, also known as touch screen, can collect touch operations on or near the user (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near touch panel 10071).
[0085] The touch panel 10071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch position and the signal generated by the touch operation, transmitting the signal to the touch controller. The touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and sends it to the processor 1010. The processor 1010 receives commands from the touch controller and executes them. Furthermore, the touch panel 10071 can be implemented using various types of touch sensors, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave sensors. In addition to the touch panel 10071, the user input unit 1007 may also include other input devices 10072. Specifically, other input devices 10072 may include, but are not limited to, a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power buttons, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and a joystick, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0086] Furthermore, the touch panel 10071 can cover the display panel 10061. When the touch panel 10071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 1010 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 1010 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 10061 according to the type of touch event. Although in Figure 8, the touch panel 10071 and the display panel 10061 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the electronic device, in some embodiments, the touch panel 10071 and the display panel 10061 can be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the electronic device. Specific details are not limited here.

Interface unit 1008 can be used to receive input from external devices (e.g., data, power, etc.) and transmit the received input to one or more components within electronic device 1000, or it can be used to transmit data between electronic device 1000 and external devices.
[0088] The memory 1009 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 1009 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, application programs required for at least one function (such as sound playback, image playback, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the electronic device (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). Furthermore, the memory 1009 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.
[0089] The processor 1010 is the control center of the electronic device. It connects various parts of the electronic device via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 1009, and by calling data stored in the memory 1009, it performs various functions and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the electronic device. The processor 1010 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 1010 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and applications, while the modem processor mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 1010.
