[0068] The electronic device and the photographing method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with Figures 1 to 11 , specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0069] In the first aspect, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the embodiments of the present application propose an electronic device, comprising: a shell 1, a camera 2, a display screen 3, a processor 4, a decorative ring 5 and an angle monitoring sensor 6.

[0070] The camera 2, the display screen 3, the processor 4 and the angle monitoring sensor 6 are arranged on the shell 1, and the first function button 11 and the second function button 12 are arranged on the shell 1.

[0071] The angle monitoring sensor 6, the first function button 11 and the second function button 12 are connected with the processor 4 respectively, and the processor 4 is connected with the camera 2 and the display screen 3 respectively.

[0072] The decorative ring 5 is rotatably arranged on the surface of the shell 1, and the angle monitoring sensor 6 and the decorative ring 5 are oppositely arranged to detect the angle information of the rotation of the decorative ring 5.

[0073] The display screen 3 is used for displaying the video picture collected by the camera 2 and displaying the cursor 31 in the video picture, and the decorative ring 5 and the first function button 11 are cooperated to control the cursor 31 to move to the position of the shooting object 32 in the video picture and adjust the focal length of the camera 2.

[0074] The processor 4 is used for controlling the camera 2 to take a picture of the shooting object 32 according to the input instruction of the second function button 12.

[0075] It can be understood that the shell 1 can be a plastic shell or a metal shell.

[0076] The decorative ring 5 can be arranged at any position on the surface of the shell 1, and the position of the decorative ring 5 is not limited, as long as the rotation of the decorative ring 5 is met, the decorative ring 5 can rotate infinitely relative to the surface of the shell 1, that is, the decorative ring 5 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and the rotation angle can exceed 360 degrees.

[0077] The angle monitoring sensor 6 is used for detecting the rotation direction of the decorative ring 5 and detecting the rotation angle of the decorative ring 5.

[0078] The first function button 11 and the second function button 12 are sealed with the shell 1 to achieve good waterproof performance, and the waterproof level of the electronic device can reach IP68.

[0079] After the electronic device enters the water, the electronic device receives a first input to enter an underwater shooting mode, and the display screen 3 displays the video picture collected by the camera 2 in real time and displays the cursor 31 in the video picture.

[0080] The first input can be an input operation on the first function button 11, and the first input can be an entity button input.

[0081] In this embodiment, the electronic device has a physical button on its casing that corresponds to the working mode and receives the user's first input, which can be expressed as receiving the user's first input by pressing or sliding the corresponding physical button.

[0082] Secondly, the first input can also be in the form of touch input, including but not limited to click input, swipe input, and press input.

[0083] In this embodiment, receiving the user's first input can be manifested as receiving the user's touch operation on the touch area of ​​the display screen 3.

[0084] Thirdly, the first input can also be voice input.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, when entering underwater shooting mode, cursor 31 will appear at the default position on the video screen captured by camera 2. If the position of the subject 32 in the video screen is not the default position, the user can perform a first input operation on the electronic device based on the relative position relationship between the position of the subject 32 in the video screen and the default position. By controlling the rotation of the decorative ring 5, the electronic device can convert the received first input and the rotation input received by the decorative ring 5 into a movement response of cursor 31 in the video screen. Based on the correspondence between the first input, the operation of the decorative ring 5, and the movement response, the electronic device can control cursor 31 to move to the position of the subject 32 in the video screen.

[0086] The position of cursor 31 indicates the current focus point of camera 2. Cursor 31 can be represented by two vertically intersecting straight lines and a small circle with the intersection point as its center.

[0087] The area where the cursor 31 is located can be called the focus area. When the cursor 31 finally stops at a certain position, the electronic device can focus on the subject 32 in the focus area. The cursor 31 can also focus in real time during its movement. When it stops at a certain position, it automatically completes the focusing.

[0088] At the same time, such as Figure 4 As shown, when entering underwater shooting mode, if the image size of the subject 32 is not within the user's ideal range when the cursor 31 moves to the position of the subject 32 in the video screen, the user can perform a second input operation on the electronic device. In conjunction with the rotation of the decorative ring 5, the electronic device can convert the second input operation with the decorative ring 5 into a focusing response of the camera 2. Based on the correspondence between the second input operation with the decorative ring 5 and the focusing response, the electronic device can adjust the focal length of the camera 2.

[0089] The second input is an input operation on the second function button 12, and the input mode of the second input is the same as that of the first input, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] As shown in Figure 5 , the processor 4 controls the display screen 3 to display the video picture collected by the camera 2 and display the cursor 31 in the video picture according to the input instruction received by the electronic device, controls the cursor 31 to move to the position of the shooting object 32 in the video picture and adjust the focal length of the camera 2 according to the input instruction received by the first function button 11 and the decorative ring 5, and the angle monitoring sensor 6 transmits the collected angle information of the decorative ring 5 to the processor 4, and then the processor 4 controls the camera 2 to take a picture of the shooting object 32 in the video picture according to the input instruction received by the second function button 12.

[0091] The present application sets the first function button 11, the second function button 12, the angle monitoring sensor 6 and the decorative ring 5 on the electronic device, so that in the underwater shooting mode, the electronic device displays the video picture collected by the camera 2 on the display screen 3 and displays the cursor 31 in the video picture, cooperates the rotation of the decorative ring 5 with the input instruction of the first function button 11 based on the detection of the angle monitoring sensor 6 on the rotation angle of the decorative ring 5, controls the cursor 31 to move to the position of the shooting object 32 in the video picture and adjust the focal length of the camera 2 through the processor 4, and then controls the camera 2 to take a picture of the shooting object 32 according to the input instruction of the second function button 12.

[0092] As can be seen from the above, the electronic device provided by the present application can realize focusing and zooming on the shooting object 32, which is convenient for taking a picture of the shooting object 32 underwater.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can be a mobile terminal, such as a smart phone, a tablet personal computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID) or a wearable device (Wearable Device), etc., and can also be other electronic devices, such as a digital camera, an e-book, a navigator, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first function button 11 of the present embodiment includes a volume enhancement button 111.

[0095] When the volume-up button 111 does not receive the first pressing input, the decorative ring 5 is used to control the cursor 31 to move along a first straight path in a rotating manner.

[0096] When the volume-up button 111 receives the first pressing input, the decorative ring 5 is used to control the cursor 31 to move along a second straight path in a rotating manner.

[0097] The extension direction of the first straight path and the extension direction of the second straight path are perpendicular, and the rotating direction of the decorative ring 5 corresponds to the moving direction of the cursor 31.

[0098] It can be understood that the volume-up button 111 can be a button inherent to the electronic device, and using the inherent button does not need to add an additional button, which can simplify the mechanical structure of the electronic device.

[0099] The first straight path of the embodiment can refer to a path along the length direction of the electronic device, and the second straight path can refer to a path along the width direction of the electronic device.

[0100] In the embodiment, the clockwise rotating direction of the decorative ring 5 is a first rotating direction, and the counterclockwise rotating direction of the decorative ring 5 is a second rotating direction. The rotating manner of the decorative ring 5 includes rotating in the first rotating direction and rotating in the second rotating direction.

[0101] When the volume-up button 111 does not receive the first pressing input, when the decorative ring 5 is rotated clockwise, the cursor 31 in the display video image moves left along the length direction of the electronic device; and when the decorative ring 5 is rotated counterclockwise, the cursor 31 in the display video image moves right along the length direction of the electronic device, so that the cursor 31 is close to the position of the photographing object 32 to be focused.

[0102] When the volume-up button 111 receives the first pressing input, when the decorative ring 5 is rotated clockwise, the cursor 31 in the display video image moves up along the width direction of the electronic device; and when the decorative ring 5 is rotated counterclockwise, the cursor 31 in the display video image moves down along the width direction of the electronic device, so that the cursor 31 is close to the position of the photographing object 32 to be focused.

[0103] The embodiment uses the volume-up button 111 inherent to the electronic device, and cooperates with the rotation of the decorative ring 5, so that the cursor 31 in the video image can move left and right along the length direction of the electronic device, and move up and down along the width direction of the electronic device, so that the cursor 31 can be moved to the position of the photographing object 32 to be focused in the display screen 3 by adjusting the direction, and the focusing function of the electronic device is realized.

[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the first function button 11 of the embodiment further includes a volume reduction button 112.

[0105] In the case that the volume reduction button 112 receives a second pressing input, the decorative ring 5 is rotated in the first rotation direction, the focal length of the camera 2 is increased, and the decorative ring 5 is rotated in the second rotation direction, the focal length of the camera 2 is decreased.

[0106] The first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.

[0107] It can be understood that the volume reduction button 112 can be a button inherent to the electronic device, and using the inherent button does not need to add an additional button, which can simplify the mechanical structure of the electronic device.

[0108] The first rotation direction of the embodiment refers to the clockwise rotation direction of the decorative ring 5, and the second rotation direction refers to the counterclockwise rotation direction of the decorative ring 5.

[0109] The embodiment moves the cursor 31 to the photographing object 32 to be focused on by cooperation of the decorative ring 5 and the volume increase button 111, and in the case that the volume reduction button 112 receives a second pressing input, the decorative ring 5 is rotated clockwise to increase the focal length of the camera 2, the imaging is magnified by a multiple, the decorative ring 5 is rotated counterclockwise to decrease the focal length of the camera 2, the imaging is reduced by a multiple, and the imaging size of the photographing object 32 is adjusted to meet the photographing requirement.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in the first function button 11 of the embodiment, the volume increase button 111 is arranged on the left side of the volume reduction button 112. Figure 1 As shown, the second function button 12 of the embodiment includes a power button.

[0111] It can be understood that the power button can be a button inherent to the electronic device.

[0112] When the electronic device enters the underwater photographing mode, the touch screen of the electronic device is set to an unusable state to avoid a mistaken touch operation, and a single click of the power button does not realize the screen-off function, and a double click of the power button can realize the exit of the underwater photographing mode.

[0113] The embodiment sets the second function button 12 as a power button, and can realize the photographing function by pressing the power button, and can realize the exit of the underwater photographing mode by double clicking the power button, which ensures the convenient switching between the underwater mode and the non-underwater mode and the convenient photographing operation by using the inherent button of the electronic device.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in the second function button 12 of the embodiment, the power button is arranged on the right side of the decorative ring 5. Figure 1 As shown, the angle monitoring sensor 6 of the embodiment includes an optical tracking sensor 61.

[0115] At least part of the optical tracking sensor 61 is disposed inside the housing 1. The detection end of the optical tracking sensor 61 and the decorative ring 5 are arranged opposite each other facing one side of the housing 1. The optical tracking sensor 61 is connected to the processor 4.

[0116] Understandably, the optical tracking sensor 61 determines the rotation direction of the decorative ring 5 by emitting laser signals and receiving reflected laser signals.

[0117] In this embodiment, the optical tracking sensor 61 is disposed inside the housing 1. The detection end of the optical tracking sensor 61 is located inside the opening and is positioned opposite to the side of the decorative ring 5 facing the housing 1, so that the laser signal emitted by the optical tracking sensor 61 can be reflected by the decorative ring 5, and the reflected laser signal is then received by the optical tracking sensor 61 to determine the rotation direction of the decorative ring 5.

[0118] As the decorative ring 5 rotates clockwise, the optical tracking sensor 61 emits a laser signal toward the decorative ring 5 and receives the laser signal reflected back from the decorative ring 5. The optical tracking sensor 61 feeds back a high-level signal to the processor 4. The processor 4 determines the clockwise rotation angle of the decorative ring 5 based on the type of the received high-level signal.

[0119] When the decorative ring 5 rotates counterclockwise, the optical tracking sensor 61 emits a laser signal to the decorative ring 5 and receives the laser signal reflected back from the decorative ring 5. The optical tracking sensor 61 feeds back a low-level signal to the processor 4. The processor 4 determines the angle of counterclockwise rotation of the decorative ring 5 based on the type of the received low-level signal.

[0120] like Figure 6 As shown in the output signal diagram of the optical tracking sensor 61, the horizontal axis represents time in seconds, and the vertical axis represents the signal value output by the optical tracking sensor 61 in volts. The processor 4 determines that the decorative ring 5 rotates clockwise based on the high-level signal and determines the rotation angle of the decorative ring 5 based on the type of the high-level signal. The processor 4 determines that the decorative ring 5 rotates counterclockwise based on the low-level signal and determines the rotation angle of the decorative ring 5 based on the type of the low-level signal.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the angle monitoring sensor 6 in this embodiment includes a first contact 62, a second contact 63, and a spring 64.

[0122] The first contact 62, the second contact 63, and the spring 64 are respectively connected to the processor 4, with the spring 64 sandwiched between the first contact 62 and the second contact 63.

[0123] The decorative ring 5 has multiple teeth 53, which are arranged around the circumference of the decorative ring 5.

[0124] When the decorative ring 5 rotates in the first direction of rotation, at least a portion of the plurality of teeth 53 contacts the spring 64 in sequence, thereby driving the spring 64 to contact the first contact point 62 in sequence; when the decorative ring 5 rotates in the second direction of rotation, at least a portion of the plurality of teeth 53 contacts the spring 64 in sequence, thereby driving the spring 64 to contact the second contact point 63 in sequence.

[0125] Understandably, the first contact 62, the second contact 63, and the spring 64 are located inside the circumference formed by the teeth 53 of the decorative ring 5, with the tip of the spring 64 extending into the gap between the two teeth 53.

[0126] When the decorative ring 5 rotates clockwise, the gear tooth 53 contacts the spring piece 64, and the gear tooth 53 applies a clockwise pushing force to the spring piece 64, causing the spring piece 64 to undergo elastic deformation and contact the second contact point 63, and feeds back a high-level signal to the processor 4. When the gear tooth 53 is no longer in contact with the spring piece 64, the spring piece 64 returns to its original shape and separates from the second contact point 63. As the decorative ring 5 rotates further, the spring piece 64 contacts and separates from the second contact point 63 in sequence, feeding back discretely distributed high-level signals to the processor 4. The processor 4 determines the clockwise rotation angle of the decorative ring 5 based on the number of high-level signals.

[0127] When the decorative ring 5 rotates counterclockwise, the gear tooth 53 contacts the spring piece 64, and the gear tooth 53 applies a counterclockwise pushing force to the spring piece 64, causing the spring piece 64 to undergo elastic deformation and contact the first contact point 62, and feeds back a low-level signal to the processor 4. When the gear tooth 53 is no longer in contact with the spring piece 64, the spring piece 64 returns to its original shape and separates from the first contact point 62. As the decorative ring 5 rotates further, the spring piece 64 contacts and separates from the first contact point 62 in sequence, feeding back discretely distributed low-level signals to the processor 4. The processor 4 determines the counterclockwise rotation angle of the decorative ring 5 based on the number of low-level signals.
