[0046] Figure 1 is a side view of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a first body 10 and a second body 20 .

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft 30. The first body 10 and the second body 20 can be folded relative to each other around the connecting shaft 30, thereby enabling the electronic device to be folded and unfolded. For example, the electronic device can be a foldable screen mobile phone, a laptop computer, etc.

[0048] It should be noted that the connecting axis 30 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to a physical rotating axis, and can be a virtual axis of rotation between the first body 10 and the second body 20. For example, when the rotating structure is a rotating axis, the connecting axis 30 can represent the axis of the rotating axis. When the rotating structure is a non-rotating axis (such as a flexible material), the connecting axis 30 can represent the virtual axis around which the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the first body 10 includes a light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 and a driving assembly for driving the light-sensitive sensor assembly to rotate relative to the first body. The light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 is used to receive ambient light and output the light intensity corresponding to the ambient light, providing the electronic device with a light intensity detection function. Through the light intensity detection function, the electronic device can implement many advanced functions such as automatic brightness adjustment and automatic night mode. In an embodiment of the present application, the light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 can be arranged inside the first body 10, and the detection direction is toward the direction of the surface of the first body 10 opposite to the second body 20 in the folded state. For example, if the electronic device is a folding screen mobile phone, the light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 can be arranged on the inner side of the screen of the first body 10 of the folding screen mobile phone, and detect the ambient light in the direction of the screen of the first body 10.

[0050] According to different design requirements, the light sensor assembly can be located at different positions of the first body. Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a top view of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, if the electronic device is a vertical folding screen mobile phone, the light sensor assembly 40 can be arranged near the first edge 51 of the first body 10 parallel to the connecting axis 30. Figure 3 ,, Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a top view of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, if the electronic device is a horizontally foldable screen mobile phone, the light-sensitive sensor assembly can be arranged near the second edge 52 of the first body 10 perpendicular to the connecting axis 30.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 A side view of a first body provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the light sensor assembly 40 is rotatably connected to the first body 10 via a first rotating shaft 60 parallel to the connecting shaft 30. The light sensor assembly 40 can be driven by a driving assembly so that the light sensor assembly 40 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 60 as the rotation axis. The rotation direction of the first rotating shaft 60 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting shaft 30 and the first rotating shaft 60 can be parallel to each other.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a screen area provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the second body 20 includes a screen area 21. When the electronic device is in an intermediate state (a state between the unfolded state and the fully folded state), the screen area 21 of the second body 20 will be aligned with the light sensitive range ( Figure 5 The area between the two dotted lines in FIG2 overlaps, that is, the light sensor component receives the reflected light from the screen area 21 of the second body 20 (such as Figure 5 As shown by arrow a) and / or emit light (as shown by arrow a) Figure 5 The light intensity of the ambient light is detected by the light sensor assembly 40 (indicated by the arrow b).

[0053] Among them, the above-mentioned screen area 21 can be the entire surface of the second body 20 facing the first body 10 in the folded state, or it can represent the area on the surface of the second body 20 facing the first body 10 in the folded state that can mirror-reflect light, or it can represent the display area of ​​the second body 20.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device switches between the unfolded state and the folded state, the driving component drives the light sensor component to rotate relative to the first body, and the rotation angle of the light sensor component is associated with the angle between the first body and the second body. The light sensor component 40 rotates around the first rotation axis 60 to adjust the light-sensitive range of the light sensor component 40. The rotation angle of the light sensor component 40 is associated with the angle between the first body and the second body. It can be expressed as follows: when the electronic device switches between the unfolded state and the folded state, by rotating the light sensor component 40 relative to the first body, the light-sensitive range of the light sensor component 40 does not overlap with the screen area 21 at all times, thereby preventing the light sensor component 40 from being affected by the light and reflection of the screen area 21. Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the light-sensing range of a photosensor assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the light sensitive range of the light sensitive sensor assembly 40 is the area between the two dotted lines. Figure 6 In the photosensitive range shown, a portion of the screen area 21 of the second body 20 is located within the photosensitive range of the photosensor assembly 40. Since the first rotating axis 60 of the photosensor assembly 40 is parallel to the connecting axis 30, when the photosensor assembly 40 rotates around the first rotating axis 60, the photosensitive range of the photosensor assembly 40 can be adjusted so that the photosensitive range of the photosensor assembly 40 avoids the screen area 21 of the second body 20.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 can be rotated by driving the assembly to adjust the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly 40, so that the light-sensitive sensor assembly 40 located in the second body 20 avoids the light emitted or reflected by the screen area 21 of the first body 10 during use, thereby improving the accuracy of ambient light measurement on the folding screen electronic device.

[0056] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a photosensor assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the photosensor assembly 40 includes a photosensor body 41. The drive assembly may include a first drive assembly 42 fixedly connected to the first body 10. The photosensor body 41 and the first drive assembly 42 are rotationally connected via a first rotating shaft 60. Driven by the first drive assembly 42, the photosensor body 41 rotates about the first rotating shaft 60 to adjust the orientation of the photosensor body 41, thereby changing the direction in which the light sensing element 43 of the photosensor body 41 receives light, so that the light sensing range does not overlap with the screen area 21.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the first driving assembly (42) can be directly connected to the photosensor body (41) via the first rotating shaft (60) to form the photosensor assembly (40), so that the photosensor body (41) can rotate around the first rotating shaft (60) under the drive of the first driving assembly (42), thereby changing the direction in which the photosensor body (41) receives light, thereby changing the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body (41). Therefore, the photosensor assembly (40) realized by the above method has good integrity, can achieve high production efficiency and good product rate, and helps to reduce production costs.

[0058] The first drive assembly (42) can be a micro motor, a servo motor, etc., and is used to drive the photosensor body (41) to rotate via the first rotating shaft (60). In one embodiment, one end of the first rotating shaft (60) can be connected to one side of the photosensor body (41), and the other end of the first rotating shaft (60) can be connected to the first drive assembly (42); in another embodiment, the first rotating shaft (60) can be sleeved inside the photosensor body (41), and one end of the first rotating shaft (60) is connected to the first drive assembly (42). In the embodiment of the present application, the connection relationship between the first drive assembly (42), the first rotating shaft (60) and the photosensor body (41) can be flexibly set by technicians according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0059] It should be noted that when the first driving component (42) is a motor, since the motor usually has its own rotating shaft, the photosensor body (41) can be directly mounted on the rotating shaft. In this case, the first rotating shaft (60) can be the rotating shaft of the motor.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 1 shows another schematic diagram of a photosensor assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the photosensor assembly 40 includes a photosensor body 41 and a light-shielding structure 44, and the driving assembly may include a first driving assembly 42 fixedly connected to the first body 10; the light-shielding structure 44 and the first driving assembly 42 are rotationally connected via a first rotating shaft 60; the light-shielding structure 44 is driven by the first driving assembly 42 to rotate relative to the first body 10 around the first rotating shaft 60 to form a shielding between the photosensor body 41 and the screen area 21, so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area 21.

[0061] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the first position of the light shielding structure provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 10 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the second position of the light shielding structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 As shown, when the light shielding structure 44 is in the first position, the light sensitive range of the light sensor body 41 (the area between the two dotted lines) is larger, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, when the light shielding structure 44 rotates to the second position, the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body 41 (the area between the two dotted lines) becomes smaller.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the photosensor assembly 40 can also be composed of a photosensor body 41 and a shading structure 44, and the driving unit can include a first driving assembly 42, wherein the first driving assembly 42 is connected to the shading structure 44 through a first rotating shaft 60, and the first driving assembly 42 can adjust the shading position of the shading structure 44 through the first rotating shaft 60, thereby blocking the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body 41 to prevent the photosensor body 41 from receiving light emitted and reflected by the screen area 21 of the second body 20. In this case, the photosensor body 41 does not need to be actuated and can be fixedly connected to the first body 10, which increases the impact resistance of the photosensor body 41 and helps to improve the durability of the electronic device.

[0063] The above-mentioned shading structure 44 can be a circular ring structure with a certain width, or a frame structure with a certain width. Technicians can flexibly set the shape of the shading structure 44 according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.

[0064] It should be noted that in the solution using the shading structure 44, the first rotating shaft 60 may not be connected to the photosensor body 41. The first rotating shaft 60 only needs to be set near the photosensor body 41 to ensure that the shading structure 44 can rotate around the photosensor body 41 with the first rotating shaft 60 as the rotation center.

[0065] Alternatively, as Figure 8 As shown, the shading structure 44 includes at least one side panel 441 and a shading plate 442 connected to the side panel 441; one end of the side panel 441 is rotatably connected to the first driving assembly 42 via a first rotating shaft 60, and the other end of the side panel 441 is connected to the shading plate 442. Driven by the first driving assembly 42, the side panel 441 drives the shading plate 442 to rotate around the light sensor body 41 to form a shielding between the light sensor body 41 and the screen area.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the light shielding structure 44 can be composed of a side panel 441 and a light shielding plate 442. The number of side panels 441 can be one or two. One end of the side panel 441 is fixedly connected to the light shielding plate 442, and the other end of the side panel 441 is connected to the first drive assembly 42 via the first rotating shaft 60. When the number of side panels 441 is one, the structural complexity of the light shielding structure 44 is low, which can effectively reduce production costs. The light shielding structure 44 is also light, which can effectively improve the response speed of the light shielding structure 44 during actuation. When the number of side panels 441 is two, the light shielding structure 44 has a higher structural strength and stronger impact resistance, which can effectively improve the reliability of the light shielding structure 44.

[0067] Optionally, in Figure 8 Based on the light-sensitive sensor assembly shown, the driving assembly may further include a second driving assembly 45, and the electronic device may further include a second rotating shaft 61 parallel to the first rotating shaft 60. Figure 11 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of another photosensor assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 11 As shown, the photosensor assembly and the second driving assembly 45 are rotationally connected via a second rotating shaft 61; the photosensor assembly 40 is driven by the second driving assembly 45 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 61 to adjust the overall orientation direction of the photosensor assembly 40 so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, while adjusting the photosensor body 41's light-shielding structure 44's light-sensitive range, the photosensor assembly 40 as a whole can also be rotated through the second rotating shaft 61 and the second driving assembly 45. This can reduce the photosensor body 41's light-sensitive range while changing the orientation of the photosensor assembly 40, thereby synchronously changing the photosensor body 41's light-sensitive direction, achieving a greater adjustment range for the photosensor range, and helping to increase the photosensor body 41's adaptability to the opening and closing angles of electronic devices.

[0069] For example, if the light-shielding structure is used alone, the photosensor body's light-sensitive range can be adjusted to 30 degrees; if the light-shielding structure is used alone, the photosensor body's light-sensitive range can be adjusted to 20 degrees; and by setting up the light-shielding structure and rotating the photosensor assembly, the photosensor body's light-sensitive range can be adjusted to 50 degrees.

[0070] Optionally, the electronic device includes a linkage mechanism; the connecting shaft 30 and the first rotating shaft 60 can be connected through the linkage mechanism, and the first rotating shaft 60 rotates in conjunction with the connecting shaft 30 through the linkage mechanism, so that the sensitive range of the photosensor assembly 40 and the screen area 21 never overlap during the folding and unfolding process of the electronic device.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting shaft 30 and the first rotating shaft 60 are mechanically connected via a linkage mechanism. When the connecting shaft 30 rotates, the connecting shaft 30 drives the linkage mechanism, which in turn drives the first rotating shaft 60 to rotate, thereby achieving linkage between the connecting shaft 30 and the first rotating shaft 60. As a result, when the user folds the first body 10 and the second body 20 of the electronic device, the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly 40 always avoids the screen area 21 of the second body 20. This solution does not require a complex electronic control structure or control program design, and not only achieves a zero-delay response, but also prevents functionality from being affected by program failures.

[0072] The linkage mechanism can be designed based on at least one of a chain structure, a gear structure, a screw structure, a pull rod structure, and the like, and is used to transmit rotational torque between the connecting shaft 30 and the first rotating shaft 60. The linkage mechanism can be located inside or outside the electronic device. A skilled person can design the linkage mechanism based on actual needs, and the embodiments of this application do not limit the specific form of the linkage mechanism.

[0073] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising: a first body and a second body, the first body and the second body being rotatably connected to enable the electronic device to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state; a photosensor assembly and a drive assembly are provided in the first body; when the electronic device switches between the unfolded state and the folded state, the drive assembly drives the photosensor assembly to rotate relative to the first body, and the rotation angle of the photosensor assembly is associated with the angle between the first body and the second body. In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is equipped with a rotatable photosensor assembly, so that the photosensor assembly can rotate as the electronic device is folded, thereby adjusting the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly, so that the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly avoids interference from the second body of the electronic device, and prevents the light reflected or emitted by the second body from affecting the photosensor assembly, thereby effectively improving the light measurement accuracy of the photosensor assembly.

[0074] The photosensor control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0075] Reference Figure 12 , Figure 12 A flowchart of a method for controlling a light-sensitive sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method is applied to an electronic device such as Figure 12 As shown, the method may include:

[0076] Step 101: Acquire an unfolding angle between a first body and a second body of the electronic device.

[0077] The first body and the second body of the electronic device can be connected via a connecting shaft, and the first body and the second body can rotate relative to each other around the connecting shaft, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding of the electronic device.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, an angle sensor may be provided at the connection axis of the electronic device, and the angle between the first body and the second body may be determined by the angle sensor.

[0079] For example, when the electronic device is closed, the unfolding angle between the first body and the second body is 0 degrees, and when the electronic device is fully unfolded, the unfolding angle between the first body and the second body is 180 degrees. Figure 6 As shown, the expansion angle between the first body and the second body is α.

[0080] Step 102 : determining an overlapping angle according to the expansion angle; wherein the overlapping angle represents an angle at which the light-sensing range of the light-sensitive sensor component located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0081] After the expansion angle is obtained, the overlap angle can be calculated based on the expansion angle, wherein the overlap angle represents the angle at which the light-sensing range of the light-sensitive sensor component located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0082] Specifically, since the positions of the first body, the second body, and the photosensor assembly are relatively fixed, there is a fixed functional relationship between the deployment angle and the overlap angle. As the deployment angle gradually decreases, the overlap angle will gradually increase. Technicians can pre-design an overlap angle calculation model through simulation, experiment, etc., and by inputting the deployment angle into the overlap angle calculation model, they can obtain the overlap angle output by the overlap angle calculation model. It should be noted that since the setting position of the photosensor assembly, the size of the first body, and the size of the second body may differ between different models of electronic devices, the functional relationship between the deployment angle and the overlap angle may not be the same for different models of electronic devices. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, different models of electronic devices may correspond to different overlap angle calculation models.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, the expansion angle between the first body and the second body of the electronic device is α, and the sensitivity range of the photosensor assembly is β. According to the overlapping angle calculation model corresponding to the electronic device, the corresponding overlapping angle can be calculated to be γ.

[0084] Step 103: Adjust the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly according to the overlapping angle so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the photosensor assembly may include a movable structure. After determining the overlap angle, the movable structure of the photosensor assembly may be adjusted according to the overlap angle to adjust the light-sensing range. The movable structure may be a rotating structure. The photosensor assembly may include a rotatable photosensor body or a light-shielding structure. The orientation of the light-sensing range may be adjusted by rotating the photosensor body, and the size of the light-sensing range may be adjusted by rotating the light-shielding structure, thereby adjusting the light-sensing range.

[0086] Specifically, the photosensor assembly or the light-shielding structure may be connected to a power unit. After determining the overlapping angle, a control signal is sent to the power unit to control the power unit to drive the photosensor assembly or the light-shielding structure to rotate, so that the photosensor assembly's sensitive range is reduced or deflected by the overlapping angle, thereby avoiding the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0087] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a light sensor control method, including obtaining the unfolding angle between the first body and the second body of the electronic device; determining the overlap angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the overlap angle represents the angle at which the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body; and adjusting the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly based on the overlap angle so that the light-sensitive range and the screen area do not overlap. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is equipped with a rotatable light-sensitive sensor assembly, so that the light-sensitive sensor assembly can rotate as the electronic device is folded, thereby adjusting the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly so that the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly avoids interference from the second body of the electronic device, preventing the light reflected or emitted by the second body from affecting the light-sensitive sensor assembly, and effectively improving the light measurement accuracy of the light-sensitive sensor assembly.

[0088] Reference Figure 13 , Figure 13 FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of another method for controlling a light-sensitive sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 13 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0089] Step 201: Acquire an unfolding angle between a first body and a second body of the electronic device.

[0090] This step can be referred to as step 101 and will not be described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

[0091] Step 202: When the unfolding angle is less than or equal to a critical angle, determine an overlapping angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the critical angle represents the minimum angle that can be reached between the first body and the second body when the light sensor assembly is in an initial state and the light-sensitive range of the light sensor assembly does not overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device is unfolded at a large angle, the screen area of ​​the second body will not affect the light sensor located in the first body. In this case, the light-sensitive range of the light sensor does not need to be adjusted. Therefore, a critical angle can be determined for the electronic device. When the unfolded angle of the electronic device is greater than the critical angle, the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly in its initial state will not overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body. Only when the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly is less than or equal to the critical angle will the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly in its initial state overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0093] Reference Figure 14 , Figure 14 A schematic diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 14As shown, the unfolding angle α1 of the electronic device is 180 degrees. If the critical angle α2 corresponding to the electronic device is 120 degrees, the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly will not overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0094] Correspondingly, if the unfolding angle is greater than the critical angle, it means that the light-sensitive range of the light-sensitive sensor assembly does not include the screen area of ​​the second body. Therefore, when the unfolding angle is greater than the critical angle, the light-sensitive sensor assembly can maintain its initial state.

[0095] Optionally, step 202 may include:

[0096] Sub-step 2021, determining an excess angle based on the deployment angle and the critical angle.

[0097] When the unfolding angle is less than or equal to the critical angle, the excess angle can be determined based on the absolute value of the difference between the critical angle and the unfolding angle, where the excess angle indicates that the unfolding angle of the electronic device is less than the critical angle. Generally speaking, the larger the excess angle, the more seriously the light-sensitive sensor assembly is affected by the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0098] For example, if the unfolding angle of an electronic device is 120 degrees and the critical angle is 120 degrees, it can be determined that the excess angle is |100-120|=20 degrees.

[0099] Sub-step 2022: determining an overlap angle based on the excess angle.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, a technician can determine the functional relationship between the excess angle and the overlap angle in advance based on the structural geometry of the electronic device. After obtaining the excess angle, the corresponding overlap angle can be calculated based on the functional relationship. It should be noted that due to the different structures of different electronic devices, different models of electronic devices may have different functional relationships between the excess angle and the overlap angle.

[0101] Preferably, under normal circumstances, the first body and the second body of the electronic device are of the same length, and the light sensor assembly is arranged at the end of the first body farthest from the second body, which is commonly referred to as the "forehead" position. For an electronic device with this layout, when unfolded, its geometric structure can be simplified to an isosceles triangle, where the two sides of the isosceles triangle are the sides of the first body and the second body respectively. Figure 15 , Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the geometric structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 15As shown, vertex A of the isosceles triangle ABC is the connection axis position, side AB of the isosceles triangle ABC represents the side of the first body, and side AC of the isosceles triangle ABC represents the side of the second body. The light sensor assembly is located at vertex B of the isosceles triangle ABC. When the light sensor assembly is in the initial state and angle BAC is the critical angle, its light-sensitive range is angle DBC. Line segment BE is the angle bisector of angle DBC, which is perpendicular to side AB. Therefore, if the angle of angle DBC is θ, the angle of angle EBC is θ / 2. Let angle DBC be x, angle BAC be y, and angle EBC be z. Based on the above geometric structure, the following formulas 1 to 3 can be constructed:

[0102]

[0103] x=yFormula 2

[0104]

[0105] Based on the above formulas 1 to 3, the following formula 4 can be derived:

[0106]

[0107] Formula 4 represents the functional relationship between the excess angle and the overlap angle under the hardware layout of the electronic device described above. Δz represents the overlap angle, and Δy represents the excess angle. For example, if the current excess angle of the electronic device is 20 degrees, the calculated overlap angle is 10 degrees.

[0108] Furthermore, when the unfolding angle is greater than the critical angle, the light sensor assembly will not be affected by the screen area of ​​the second body in the initial state, and the light sensor assembly can be restored to the initial state.

[0109] Step 203: Control the photosensor body to rotate by the overlapping angle through the first driving component, so that the light-sensing range of the photosensor body is entirely shifted by the overlapping angle in a direction away from the second body.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the photosensor assembly may include a photosensor body and a first drive assembly. The first drive assembly can control the photosensor body to rotate around a first rotation axis to change the orientation of the photosensor body, thereby achieving an offset in the photosensor range of the photosensor body.

[0111] Specifically, a control signal for the first drive component can be determined in advance based on the overlap angle, and the control signal can be sent to the first drive component to control the first drive component to rotate, thereby driving the photosensor body to rotate to an offset from the initial angle to reach the above-mentioned overlap angle.

[0112] For example, if it is assumed that the photosensor component is in the initial state, the angle of the photosensor body is 0 degrees. At the first moment, it is determined that the overlapping angle is 20 degrees, then the photosensor body is rotated 20 degrees to rotate the angle of the photosensor body from 0 degrees to 20 degrees. At the second moment, it is determined that the overlapping angle is 30 degrees, then the photosensor body is rotated 10 degrees to rotate the angle of the photosensor body from 20 degrees to 30 degrees.

[0113] Furthermore, since the photosensor is arranged below the screen area of ​​the first body, and the screen area of ​​the first body is usually covered with transparent materials (such as glass, plastic, sapphire, etc.), the light emitted by the screen of the first body will be refracted and reflected inside the transparent material, which will also affect the accuracy of the photosensor. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the photosensor can also be calibrated in advance to eliminate the influence of the screen light of the first body on the photosensor readings.

[0114] Specifically, the calibration process can be divided into dark box bright screen calibration and light box off screen calibration. When performing dark box bright screen calibration, the electronic device can be fully unfolded and placed in a standard dark box, so that the screen of the first body displays pure white at maximum brightness. At the same time, the first light intensity of the currently received light is collected through the photosensitive sensor component, and the first light intensity compensation corresponding to the electronic device is calculated using the following formula 5:

[0115] A=C / C base ×A compensation Formula 5

[0116] Wherein, A represents the first light intensity compensation amount corresponding to the electronic device, C represents the first light intensity, and C base Indicates the light intensity measured by the standard machine under the same conditions, A compensation Indicates the theoretical illumination compensation amount corresponding to the standard machine. The above standard machine is a standard electronic device of the same model as the electronic device. compensation It is obtained by theoretical calculation based on the actual measured hardware data of a standard machine (such as the maximum screen brightness value, photosensor sensitivity, etc.).

[0117] In the actual application of electronic devices, the compensated light intensity can be calculated using the following formula 6:

[0118] A corrected =A original -A formula 6

[0119] Among them, A corrected Indicates the light intensity after compensation, A original represents the actual light intensity measurement value, and A represents the first light intensity compensation amount.

[0120] Since a light sensor usually includes four light-sensitive channels, namely R (red), G (green), B (blue), and IR (infrared) channels, the light intensity is calculated based on the light sensitivity values ​​of the four light-sensitive channels. All four light-sensitive channels need to be compensated to eliminate the influence of screen light. Therefore, in addition to using the above overall method to compensate for the overall light intensity of the light sensor, the following formulas 7 to 10 can also be used based on the same principle to compensate for the light sensitivity value output by each channel in the light sensor:

[0121] R corrected =R original -R Formula 7

[0122] G corrected =G original -G Formula 8

[0123] B corrected =B original -B Formula 9

[0124] IR corrected =IR original -IR formula 10

[0125] Among them, R corrected Indicates the red light sensitivity value after compensation, R original Indicates the actual value of red light sensitivity, R indicates the compensation value of red light sensitivity; G corrected Indicates the green photosensitivity value after compensation, G original Indicates the measured value of green photosensitivity, G indicates the compensation value of green photosensitivity; B corrected Indicates the blue light sensitivity value after compensation, B original Indicates the measured value of blue light sensitivity, B indicates the compensation value of blue light sensitivity; IR corrected Indicates the infrared sensitivity value after compensation, IR original Indicates the actual measured value of infrared sensitivity, and IR indicates the compensation amount of infrared sensitivity.

[0126] In addition, due to the differences in screen transmittance, glass parameters, structural micro-changes, sensor consistency, etc. between the electronic device and the standard device, there is a certain deviation between the photosensitivity of the electronic device and the standard device. In the embodiment of the present application, the above deviation can also be calibrated by turning off the screen in a light box. Specifically, the standard device can be placed in a standard light box, and the light box can be calibrated using the photosensor of the standard device so that the illumination intensity of the standard light is the preset illumination value. Then, the standard device can be taken out of the standard light box, and the electronic device can be placed in the standard light box to obtain the light intensity measured by the photosensor of the electronic device under the preset illumination value. The second illumination intensity compensation value for the electronic device can be calculated according to the following formula 11:

[0127] Lux=F lux (R corrected , G corrected , B corrected , IR corrected )*500 / D Formula 11

[0128] Lux represents the second light intensity compensation value, D represents the light intensity actually measured by the light sensor of the electronic device under the preset illumination value, and F lux (R corrected , G corrected , B corrected , IR corrected ) is a regression function fitted by the measured photosensitivity values ​​of each photosensitive channel, which is used to calculate the ambient light intensity based on the photosensitivity values ​​of each photosensitive channel of the photosensor.

[0129] In summary, another photosensor control method provided by an embodiment of the present application includes obtaining an unfolding angle between the first body and the second body of the electronic device; determining an overlap angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the overlap angle represents the angle at which the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body; and adjusting the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly based on the overlap angle so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area. In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is equipped with a rotatable photosensor assembly, so that the photosensor assembly can rotate as the electronic device is folded, thereby adjusting the photosensor range of the photosensor assembly so that the photosensor range of the photosensor assembly avoids interference from the second body of the electronic device, and avoids the light reflected or emitted by the second body from affecting the photosensor assembly, thereby effectively improving the light measurement accuracy of the photosensor assembly.

[0130] Reference Figure 16 , Figure 16 A flowchart of another method for controlling a light-sensitive sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 16As shown, the specific steps include:

[0131] Step 301: Acquire an unfolding angle between a first body and a second body of the electronic device.

[0132] Step 302: When the unfolding angle is less than or equal to a critical angle, determine an overlapping angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the critical angle represents the minimum angle that can be reached between the first body and the second body when the light sensor assembly is in an initial state and the light-sensitive range of the light sensor assembly does not overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0133] Step 303: Control the light shielding structure to rotate through the first driving component to shield the light sensitive range of the photosensor body, so that the light sensitive range is reduced by the overlapping angle.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, the light sensor assembly includes a light sensor body, a light shielding structure, and a first driving assembly. The first driving assembly can also drive the light shielding structure to shield the light sensor body, thereby adjusting the light sensitivity range of the light sensor body and preventing interference with the light sensor from the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0135] Specifically, a control signal for the first drive component can be determined in advance based on the overlapping angle, and the control signal can be sent to the first drive component to control the first drive component to rotate, thereby driving the shading structure to rotate, so that the angle of the light-shielding structure blocking the light-sensitive sensor body in the initial state reaches the above-mentioned overlapping angle.

[0136] For example, if it is assumed that the photosensor component is in the initial state, the photosensor body's sensitivity range is 120 degrees. At the first moment, it is determined that the overlapping angle is 20 degrees, and the light-shielding structure is controlled to rotate so that the photosensor body's sensitivity range is reduced by 20 degrees relative to the initial state, that is, from 120 degrees to 100 degrees. At the second moment, it is determined that the overlapping angle is 30 degrees, and the light-shielding structure is continued to be controlled to rotate so that the photosensor body's sensitivity range is reduced by 30 degrees relative to the initial state, that is, continues to decrease from 100 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0137] In summary, another photosensor control method provided by an embodiment of the present application includes obtaining an unfolding angle between the first body and the second body of the electronic device; determining an overlap angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the overlap angle represents the angle at which the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body; and adjusting the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly based on the overlap angle so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area. In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is equipped with a rotatable photosensor assembly, so that the photosensor assembly can rotate as the electronic device is folded, thereby adjusting the photosensor range of the photosensor assembly so that the photosensor range of the photosensor assembly avoids interference from the second body of the electronic device, preventing the light reflected or emitted by the second body from affecting the photosensor assembly, and effectively improving the light measurement accuracy of the photosensor assembly.

[0138] Reference Figure 17 , Figure 17 FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of steps of another light sensor control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 17 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0139] Step 401: Acquire an unfolding angle between a first body and a second body of the electronic device.

[0140] Step 402: When the unfolding angle is less than or equal to a critical angle, determine an overlapping angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the critical angle represents the minimum angle that can be reached between the first body and the second body when the light sensor assembly is in an initial state and the light-sensitive range of the light sensor assembly does not overlap with the screen area of ​​the second body.

[0141] Step 403: Determine a deflection angle and a reduction angle according to the overlap angle; wherein the sum of the deflection angle and the reduction angle is equal to the overlap angle.

[0142] In an embodiment of the present application, the photosensor assembly includes a photosensor body, a light-shielding structure, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly, so as to simultaneously adjust the direction and angle of the photosensitivity range, thereby further improving the adjustment range of the photosensitivity range.

[0143] Specifically, after determining the overlapping angle, a deflection angle and a reduction angle may be determined according to the overlapping angle, wherein the deflection angle is used to deflect the light-sensitive range of the photosensitive sensor body, and the reduction angle is used to reduce the light-sensitive range of the photosensitive sensor body.

[0144] Specifically, one of the deflection angle and the reduction angle may be preferentially used to meet the overlap angle requirement. When the maximum deflection angle or the maximum reduction angle provided by the electronic device is insufficient, the other angle may be used to compensate for the overlap angle requirement.

[0145] For example, the deflection angle can be prioritized. If the electronic device can achieve a maximum deflection angle and a maximum reduction angle of 30 degrees, and the overlap angle is 40 degrees, the deflection angle can be determined to be 30 degrees and the reduction angle can be set to 10 degrees, so that the sum of the deflection angle and the reduction angle equals 40 degrees. Alternatively, the reduction angle can be prioritized, and the determined deflection angle can be 10 degrees and the reduction angle can be 30 degrees.

[0146] The overlap angles can also be allocated according to a preset ratio. For example, the overlap angles can be allocated according to a 1:1 ratio. When the overlap angle is 30 degrees, the deflection angle is determined to be 15 degrees and the reduction angle is determined to be 15 degrees. Technicians can flexibly set the above preset ratios according to actual needs, and the embodiments of this application are not specifically limited to this.

[0147] Step 404: Control the light shielding structure to rotate and shield the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body through the first driving component, so that the light-sensitive range is reduced by the reduction angle.

[0148] This step can be referred to as step 303 and will not be described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

[0149] Step 405: Control the photosensor body and the light shielding structure to rotate as a whole by the deflection angle through the second driving component.

[0150] In an embodiment of the present application, the photosensor assembly may further include a second driving assembly, and the entirety formed by the photosensor body and the light-shielding structure is connected to the second driving assembly. The second driving assembly can rotate the entirety formed by the photosensor body and the light-shielding structure, so that while the light-shielding structure blocks the photosensor body, the direction of the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body is adjusted, so that the light-sensitive range of the photosensor body is offset as a whole by the above-mentioned deflection angle in the direction away from the second body.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned method of adjusting the direction and size of the photosensitive range can achieve "two-stage" adjustment of the photosensitive range, effectively improving the adjustment amplitude of the photosensitive range and enhancing the range in which the photosensor body is not affected.

[0152] In summary, another photosensor control method provided by an embodiment of the present application includes obtaining an unfolding angle between the first body and the second body of the electronic device; determining an overlap angle based on the unfolding angle; wherein the overlap angle represents the angle at which the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly located in the first body overlaps with the screen area of ​​the second body; and adjusting the light-sensitive range of the photosensor assembly based on the overlap angle so that the light-sensitive range does not overlap with the screen area.
