[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the embodiments will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0027] In the following description, the terms "first, second, third" are used merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first, second, third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0029] This application provides an electronic device, such as... Figure 1A As shown, the electronic device includes:

[0030] Ontology 11;

[0031] Here, the entity can be a relatively deformable display screen whose basic structure remains unchanged. For example, Figure 1B A side view of a rollable display screen provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1B As shown, it includes a main body 11, a rollable screen 12, and a drive device 13. The rollable screen 12 is used to unfold and roll up the screen based on the unchanged main body 11. Figure 1B The rollable screen 12 shown is not exposed relative to the main body 11.

[0032] Deformable display screen 12;

[0033] Here, the deformable display screen can be, for example... Figure 1B The rollable screen 12 shown can also be a foldable display screen. Here, there are no restrictions on the deformation of the display screen.

[0034] A driving device 13 is used to drive the deformable display screen to be exposed relative to the body;

[0035] Here, a driving device is provided to drive the deformable display screen to be exposed relative to the main body. For example, Figure 1C A side view of a rollable display screen provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1C As shown, it includes a main body 11, a rollable screen 12, and a drive device 13. The rollable screen 12 is used to unfold and roll up the screen based on the unchanged main body 11. Figure 1C The rollable screen 12 shown is in a state exposed relative to the main body 11.

[0036] During implementation, it is possible to utilize Figure 1CThe drive device 13 shown drives the rollable screen 12 to move upward, so that the rollable screen 12 is exposed relative to the body 11.

[0037] Processor 14 is configured to obtain target parameters; if the target parameters indicate that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, control the deformable display screen to be in a protective state to limit the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device.

[0038] Here, a dangerous state can refer to either the hazardous environment in which the electronic device is located, or the dangerous state of the electronic device itself. For example, the electronic device may be in an extremely cold environment, or it may be in a state of being dropped.

[0039] The target parameters are those corresponding to when the electronic device is in a dangerous state. For example, if the electronic device is in an extremely cold environment, the target parameters can be temperature-related parameters; if the electronic device is being dropped, the target parameters can be parameters related to linear acceleration and / or rotational acceleration.

[0040] During implementation, after determining that the electronic device is in a dangerous state based on the target parameters, the deformable display screen can be controlled to be in a protected state by restricting the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device, thereby protecting the display screen.

[0041] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a rollable screen, which can be provided to the user by shrinking the rollable screen into the body or by retaining a small portion of the display screen.

[0042] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a foldable screen, and the screen can be protected by closing the foldable screen.

[0043] In the electronic device of this application embodiment, the processor obtains target parameters; if the target parameters indicate that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, the processor controls the deformable display screen to be in a protective state, thereby limiting the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device. In this way, the probability of damage to the deformable display screen can be reduced in dangerous states, the protection of the deformable display screen can be enhanced, and the service life of the deformable display screen can be effectively extended.

[0044] This application provides a processing method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0045] Step S210: Obtain the target parameters;

[0046] Step S220: If the target parameter indicates that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, control the deformable display screen to be in a protective state to limit the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device.

[0047] Here, a dangerous state can refer to either the hazardous environment in which the electronic device is located, or the dangerous state of the electronic device itself. For example, the electronic device may be in an extremely cold environment, or it may be in a state of being dropped.

[0048] The target parameters are those corresponding to when the electronic device is in a dangerous state. For example, if the electronic device is in an extremely cold environment, the target parameters could be temperature-related parameters; if the electronic device is being dropped, the target parameters could be parameters related to linear acceleration and / or rotational speed.

[0049] During implementation, after determining that the electronic device is in a dangerous state based on the target parameters, the deformable display screen can be controlled to be in a protected state by restricting the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device, thereby protecting the display screen.

[0050] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a rollable screen, which can be provided to the user by shrinking the rollable screen into the body or by retaining a small portion of the display screen.

[0051] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a foldable screen, and the screen can be protected by closing the foldable screen.

[0052] In this embodiment, target parameters are first obtained; then, if the target parameters indicate that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, the deformable display screen is controlled to be in a protective state to limit the movement of the deformable display screen relative to the body of the electronic device. In this way, the probability of damage to the deformable display screen can be reduced in dangerous states, the protection of the deformable display screen can be enhanced, and the service life of the deformable display screen can be effectively extended.

[0053] In some embodiments, step S210 "obtaining the target parameter" can be achieved through the following process:

[0054] Obtain ambient temperature parameters;

[0055] Here, the ambient temperature parameter can be the ambient temperature value. Based on this ambient temperature value, it can be determined whether the electronic device is in a low-temperature environment.

[0056] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor can be used to obtain ambient temperature parameters.

[0057] In some embodiments, a distance sensor can be used to determine if the usage environment of the screen has changed; the temperature detection frequency of the temperature sensor can be increased; and the ambient temperature parameters can be obtained based on the increased temperature detection frequency using the temperature sensor. For example, a distance sensor can be used to determine if the electronic device has been removed from the user's pocket or bag, indicating a change in the usage environment. This increases the temperature detection frequency of the temperature sensor, allowing for more accurate acquisition of the ambient temperature parameters of the changed usage environment.

[0058] In some embodiments, the application of the electronic device can be used to obtain the geographical location information, weather information and ambient temperature parameters of the screen.

[0059] In some embodiments, the probability that the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature threshold can be determined based on the geographical location information and weather information of the electronic device; the temperature detection frequency of the temperature sensor can be increased; and the ambient temperature of the screen can be obtained using the temperature sensor based on the increased temperature detection frequency. In this way, when a low-temperature environment is predicted, a more accurate ambient temperature parameter can be obtained by increasing the detection frequency.

[0060] Correspondingly, the step S220 above, "if the target parameter indicates that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, control the deformable display screen to be in a protective state," can be achieved through the following process:

[0061] Step 221: If the ambient temperature parameter is lower than the target threshold, control the deformable display screen to be in the first state and control the driving device to be in the non-working state.

[0062] In this configuration, the deformable display screen is in a first state, exposing a first portion of the display screen relative to the main body.

[0063] Here, the first part of the display screen exposed relative to the main body is the part that can provide a valid image to the user.

[0064] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a rollable screen, which can provide viewing for users by retracting the rollable screen into the body or retaining a small portion of the display screen in low-temperature conditions.

[0065] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a foldable screen, which can protect the screen by closing the foldable screen in low-temperature conditions, or retain a small portion of the front or back screen for the user's viewing needs while closing the foldable screen.

[0066] For example, such as Figure 1BAs shown, in some embodiments, the exposed first part can be part 121, that is, a portion of the display screen located on the back of the electronic device, which can provide the user with an effective display of images.

[0067] In some embodiments, the exposed first portion may also be a 122 portion, namely a portion of the display screen located on the front of the electronic device.

[0068] In some embodiments, the exposed portion may include, in addition to 121 and 122, a curled portion located below the electronic device.

[0069] During implementation, if the ambient temperature parameter is determined to be below the target threshold, the deformable display screen can be controlled to expose the first portion of the display relative to the main body. For example, in low-temperature conditions, to meet user needs, only the portion of the display screen can be exposed. Figure 1B The 121 section shown is designed to maximize screen protection and minimize power consumption; alternatively, it can use only... Figure 1B The section shown in section 122 reduces energy consumption compared to using the entire screen while still meeting user needs.

[0070] Given that the ambient temperature parameter is below the target threshold, the deformable display screen will exist in at least the following four initial states:

[0071] In the initial state, the deformable display screen is completely hidden inside the main body.

[0072] In this scenario, the deformable display screen can be controlled to expose only a portion of the display relative to the main body to meet the user's needs. For example, only a portion of the display screen can be exposed. Figure 1B As shown in section 121; then set the control drive to a non-working state to avoid driving the deformable display screen to expose more of its portion.

[0073] Initial state two: The first part of the deformable display screen is exposed.

[0074] For example, it can be like Figure 1B The portion 121 shown is exposed. In this case, the control drive can be set to a non-operating state to prevent the deformable display screen from exposing more of its portion.

[0075] Initial State 3: Deformable Display Screen. All screens are exposed, but the deformable display screen does not extend beyond the main body.

[0076] In this situation, the control drive can be set to a non-operating state to prevent the exposed portion of the deformable display screen from extending beyond the main body. This avoids situations such as... Figure 1C As shown, the deformable display screen is raised above the main body.

[0077] Initial State 4: Deformable Display Screen. All screens are exposed, and the deformable display screen extends beyond the main body.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 1C As shown, the deformable display screen protrudes above the main body. In this case, the deformable display screen can be driven to retract the portion extending beyond the main body first, and then the control drive device can be set to a non-operating state to prevent the exposed portion of the deformable display screen from extending beyond the main body.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first portion of the display screen corresponds to the first portion covered by the hand holding the electronic device.

[0080] Here, a first portion of the electronic device to be held can be predetermined, and then a first portion of the display screen can be determined based on that first portion of the electronic device. For example, a portion of the main body can be determined as the first portion covered by the electronic device, and then that first portion can be determined as the first portion of the display screen.

[0081] It can also detect the user's grip in real time to determine the first portion of the electronic device currently being held, and then identify that first portion of the display screen. For example, by using a proximity sensor to detect that the electronic device is being held at the bottom, the bottom of the electronic device can be determined as the first portion of the display screen. Figure 1B The section 121 shown is the first part of the display screen.

[0082] The first part of the display screen corresponds to the first part covered by the electronic device being held. In this way, because the first part is held, the first part of the display screen can be effectively protected to ensure normal operation in low-temperature environments.

[0083] In this embodiment, an ambient temperature parameter is first obtained; then, if the ambient temperature parameter is lower than a target threshold, the deformable display screen is controlled to be in a first state and the driving device is controlled to be in a non-working state. Thus, controlling the deformable display screen to be in the first state effectively protects the display screen from normal operation at low temperatures, and controlling the driving device to be in a non-working state prevents the deformable display screen from continuing to deform, thereby losing effective protection for the display screen.

[0084] In this embodiment of the application, step 221 above, "if the ambient temperature parameter is lower than the target threshold, control the deformable display screen to be in the first state and control the driving device to be in the non-working state," can be achieved through the following steps:

[0085] Step 2211: If the deformable display screen is in the second state, drive the deformable display screen to switch from the second state to the first state through the driving device and control the driving device to be in a non-working state; the deformable display screen is in the second state, exposing a second part of the display screen relative to the body; wherein, the second part of the display screen includes the first part of the display screen;

[0086] Here, in the second state of the deformable display screen, the display area of ​​the second part of the display screen is larger than that of the first part of the display screen. During implementation, due to the decrease in temperature, it is necessary to reduce the exposed area of ​​the display screen to extend the screen's usage time. This can be achieved by switching from the second state to the first state, that is, switching from displaying using the second part of the display screen to displaying using the first part of the display screen.

[0087] Step 2212: If the deformable display screen is in the first state, control the driving device to be in a non-working state.

[0088] During implementation, when the drive device drives the deformable display screen to the first state, the drive device is controlled to be in a non-working state, so that the deformable display screen remains in the first state, thereby preventing the drive device from further driving the deformable display screen to change the display state.

[0089] In this embodiment, if the deformable display screen is in the second state, the driving device drives the deformable display screen to switch from the second state to the first state and controls the driving device to be in a non-operating state. This reduces the area of ​​the working screen, lowers the energy consumption of the deformable display screen, and protects it. Furthermore, controlling the driving device to be in a non-operating state ensures that the deformable display screen remains in the first state, preventing the driving device from further driving the deformable display screen to change its display state.

[0090] In some embodiments, after "controlling the deformable display screen to a protected state" in step S220 of the above processing method, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S230: Obtain a trigger command to change the size of the exposed portion of the deformable display screen relative to the body;

[0092] Here, the trigger command can be user-triggered, used to change the size of the deformable display screen's exposed portion relative to the main body. For example, it could be user-triggered on... Figure 1B The command shown allows the scrollable screen to be extended.

[0093] Step S240: Disable the response to the trigger command until the deformable display screen is in a protected state.

[0094] Here, in the protection state, power can be disabled to prevent the drive device from operating and thus prevent it from responding to trigger commands.

[0095] During implementation, since trigger commands may cause the deformable display screen to evolve from a protected state to a dangerous state, it is prohibited to respond to trigger commands in the protected state.

[0096] In this embodiment, a trigger command is first obtained to change the size of the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the main body; then, responding to the trigger command is disabled until the deformable display screen is in a protected state. This effectively protects the deformable display screen in a protected state under hazardous conditions, preventing trigger commands caused by unknowing user actions from leading to the deformable display screen transitioning from a protected state to a dangerous state.

[0097] In some embodiments, step S210 "obtaining the target parameter" can be achieved through the following process:

[0098] Obtain target parameters, including accelerometer values ​​and gyroscope values;

[0099] Here, the values ​​of the accelerometer and the gyroscope can be used to determine whether the electronic device is in a dangerous state. For example, the linear acceleration can be obtained from the accelerometer value and the rotational acceleration can be obtained from the gyroscope value to determine whether the electronic device is in a fall.

[0100] In some embodiments, a time-of-flight (TOF) ranging sensor can be used to determine the distance between the electronic device and the ground, and then the time required for the fall can be predicted based on linear acceleration and rotational acceleration.

[0101] Correspondingly, the step S220 above, "if the target parameter indicates that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, control the deformable display screen to be in a protective state," can be achieved through the following process:

[0102] Step 222: If the target parameter meets the target threshold, control the deformable display screen to be in a retracted state and control the driving device to be in a non-working state.

[0103] The deformable display screen being recycled includes at least one of the following:

[0104] The deformable display screen is not exposed relative to the body;

[0105] The portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body does not extend beyond the body.

[0106] During implementation, determining that the target parameters meet the target threshold indicates that the electronic device is in a dangerous state, such as a drop. In this case, to effectively avoid damage to the deformable display screen, it is controlled to be in a retracted state. For example, the deformable display screen can be completely retracted into the main body, meaning there is no exposed display screen, effectively protecting it. Simultaneously, the drive device is controlled to be in a non-operating state, ensuring the deformable display screen remains in the retracted state and preventing the drive device from further actuating the display screen to change its retracted state.

[0107] In some embodiments, the recycling state can be that the deformable display is not exposed relative to the body, that is, the deformable display can be completely recycled.

[0108] In some embodiments, the reclaimed state can be that the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body does not extend beyond the body; for example, it can be as follows: Figure 1B The scrollable screen state is shown.

[0109] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a rollable screen, which can protect the screen by retracting the rollable screen into the body when a drop is detected.

[0110] In some embodiments, the deformable display screen is a foldable screen, which can protect the screen by closing the foldable screen in the event of a drop.

[0111] During implementation, the recovery status can be determined based on the time required for the fall.

[0112] In this embodiment, the values ​​of the accelerometer and gyroscope are first obtained; then, if the target parameters meet the target threshold, the deformable display screen is controlled to be in a retractable state and the driving device is controlled to be in a non-operating state. In this way, the deformable display screen can be retracted when the electronic device is determined to be in a dangerous state, thus protecting the deformable display screen. Simultaneously, controlling the driving device to be in a non-operating state ensures that the deformable display screen remains in a retractable state, preventing the driving device from further driving the deformable display screen to change its retractable state.

[0113] In some embodiments, step 222 above, "if the target parameter meets the target threshold, control the deformable display screen to be in a retractable state," can be achieved through the following steps:

[0114] Step 2221: If the target parameter meets the target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body exceeds the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract to the position corresponding to the body.

[0115] Here, you can set the target threshold according to the actual situation.

[0116] During implementation, it is determined that the target parameters meet the target threshold and the deformable display screen extends beyond the body relative to the main body. For example, such as... Figure 1C As shown, the portion of the rollable screen 12 exposed relative to the main body extends beyond the main body. In this case, the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the main body can be retracted to correspond with the main body by a drive device. For example, the retracted rollable screen can be as follows: Figure 1B The rollable screen 12 is shown.

[0117] Step 2222: If the target parameter meets the target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body does not exceed the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract into the body.

[0118] During implementation, it is determined that the target parameters meet the target threshold and the deformable display screen does not extend beyond the body relative to the main body. For example, such as Figure 1B As shown, the portion of the rollable screen 12 exposed relative to the main body does not extend beyond the main body. In this case, the deformable display screen can be controlled by the drive device to retract the portion of the screen exposed relative to the main body into the main body, that is, to completely retract the screen, so that the screen cannot be exposed to the outside, effectively improving the protection of the screen.

[0119] In some embodiments, the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the main body extends beyond the main body. If the recycling time meets the requirements, the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the main body can be recycled to correspond with the main body first, and then the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the main body can be recycled to the interior of the main body.

[0120] In this embodiment, if the target parameter meets the target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body extends beyond the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract to correspond with the body. In this way, retracting the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to correspond with the body effectively reduces damage to the portion of the screen extending beyond the body and effectively protects the deformable screen.

[0121] If the target parameters meet the target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body does not extend beyond the body, the driving device drives the exposed portion of the deformable display screen to retract into the body. This complete screen retraction, preventing external contact, effectively enhances screen protection.

[0122] In some embodiments, step 222 above, "if the target parameter meets the target threshold, control the deformable display screen to be in a retractable state," can be achieved through the following steps:

[0123] Step 2223: If the target parameter satisfies the first target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body extends beyond the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract into the body.

[0124] Here, satisfying the first target threshold based on the target parameters can be determined by identifying the initial state of the electronic device during the drop, i.e., the electronic device has just begun to fall, and there may be sufficient time to recover the screen. In this case, since it is simultaneously determined that the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body extends beyond the body, meaning that a portion of the screen cannot be protected during the drop, a drive device can be used to control and retract the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body back into the body. This achieves the goal of completely retracting the deformable screen into the body before it hits the ground, effectively reducing damage to the screen.

[0125] During implementation, a Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor can be used to determine the distance between the electronic device and the ground, and then the time required for the fall can be predicted based on linear and rotational acceleration. If it is determined that there is sufficient time to retrieve the screen based on the estimated fall time, the screen will be retrieved back into the device.

[0126] Step 2224: If the target parameter satisfies the second target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body exceeds the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract to the position corresponding to the body.

[0127] The first target threshold is different from the second target threshold.

[0128] Here, satisfying the second target threshold for the target parameters can be based on determining the state of the electronic device during a drop, i.e., there may not be enough time to recover the screen during the drop. In this case, since it is simultaneously determined that the exposed portion of the deformable display screen relative to the body extends beyond the body, meaning that a portion of the screen cannot be protected during a drop, a driving device can be used to drive and control the exposed portion of the deformable display screen relative to the body to recover to its corresponding position. This achieves the goal of recovering as much of the deformable screen as possible before it hits the ground, effectively reducing damage to the screen.

[0129] During implementation, protective measures can be triggered if the linear acceleration and / or rotational acceleration exceed a preset first or second target threshold. The linear acceleration can be determined using an accelerometer, and the rotational acceleration can be obtained using a gyroscope.

[0130] During implementation, a Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor can be used to determine the distance between the electronic device and the ground, and the time required for the fall can be predicted based on linear and rotational acceleration. If the screen cannot be fully recovered within the fall time, the portion of the screen exposed relative to the main body will be recovered to align with the main body.

[0131] In this embodiment of the application, if the target parameter meets the first target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body extends beyond the body, the driving device drives and controls the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body to retract into the body; in this way, the deformable screen can be completely retracted into the body before it hits the ground, effectively reducing damage to the screen.

[0132] If the target parameters meet the second target threshold and the portion of the deformable display screen exposed relative to the body extends beyond the body, the driving device controls the exposed portion of the deformable display screen to retract to its corresponding position relative to the body. This allows for the maximum possible recovery of the deformable screen before it hits the ground, effectively reducing damage to the screen.

[0133] Cold weather can significantly impact mobile phone usability. For example, in the extreme cold of winter in Russia and Canada, some phones may stop working due to battery issues.

[0134] This application provides a method for limiting the size of a deformable screen display, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0135] Step S400: Begin;

[0136] The electronic device can initially be in a first state, where a first portion of the display screen is exposed relative to the main body. Alternatively, it can be in a state where it is completely retracted into the main body.

[0137] Step S410: Obtain the incoming event or user request for screen expansion;

[0138] During implementation, users can trigger requests to expand a deformable screen. For example, this could be to extend a rollable screen.

[0139] Step S420: Determine if the temperature is below the threshold.

[0140] If the temperature is determined to be less than the threshold, proceed to step S430; if the temperature is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold, proceed to step S440.

[0141] Step S430: A warning pops up, notifying the user of the reason why the device cannot be unfolded due to low temperature;

[0142] During implementation, a pop-up window can be used to prompt users to understand why the page cannot be expanded.

[0143] Step S440: Determine if you want to expand;

[0144] During implementation, the user interface of the electronic device can be used to interact with the user and determine whether the user wants to unfold the device in low-temperature conditions. If unfolding is desired, step S450 is executed; if unfolding is not desired, step S460 is executed, i.e., the device is not unfolded, so that the screen is in a protected state and the usage time of the electronic device is extended.

[0145] Step S450: Perform a standard unfolding;

[0146] Step S460, End.

[0147] In this embodiment, the unfolding of the rollable screen is restricted in cold temperatures, and the device is kept in a folded mode (in a smaller size) to help reduce heat dissipation. This prevents the rollable screen from malfunctioning in extremely cold weather. Keeping the rollable screen in a smaller shape makes it easier for the user to hold the entire smaller rollable screen with one hand, preventing rapid heat dissipation in cold weather.
