[0071] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a universal host 100 is proposed, comprising: a housing 110; a display screen 120, the display screen 120 being connected to the housing 110; a communication unit 130, the communication unit 130 being arranged on the housing 110 or arranged in the housing 110, the communication unit 130 being connected to the display screen 120, and the universal host 100 is communicatively connected with other devices through the communication unit 130.

[0073] The universal host 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110, a display screen 120 and a communication unit 130. Based on this, during the use of the universal host 100, the universal host 100 can communicate with other devices through the communication unit 130, and then the display screen 120 can be used to display the interface corresponding to other devices. The universal host 100 can be connected to devices with different functions, and then the device connected to the universal host 100 may not be equipped with a display screen 120, but when a screen display is required, the universal host 100 is connected to the device. In this way, the universal host 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is set up, and the display screen 120 is integrated on the universal host 100. It is only necessary to connect the universal host 100 to different devices, and different devices can have a display function, realizing the expansion of the display function. Other devices do not need to be equipped with a display screen 120, which can reduce the cost of electronic equipment.

[0074] In some examples, taking the usage scenario as an example, the user may have the need to use devices such as smart watches, Bluetooth speakers, and companion robots in life. Through the universal host 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the process of producing smart watches, Bluetooth speakers, and companion robots, it is not necessary to equip the smart watches, Bluetooth speakers, and companion robots with a display screen 120, but the display screen 120 is equipped on the universal host 100. During use, the universal host 100 is connected to the smart watch, Bluetooth speaker, and companion robot to realize the display function, which can reduce the cost of the smart watch, Bluetooth speaker, and companion robot.

[0075] In some examples, taking the user purchasing scenario as an example, the user may have a need to use devices such as smart watches, Bluetooth speakers, and companion robots in life. The user only needs to purchase a universal host 100 equipped with a display screen 120, and at the same time purchase a smart watch, Bluetooth speaker, companion robot, etc. that are not equipped with a display screen 120. During use, the universal host 100 is connected to the smart watch, Bluetooth speaker, and companion robot to realize the display function. Since the smart watch, Bluetooth speaker, companion robot, and other devices themselves do not need to be equipped with a display screen 120, the cost of purchasing products by the user will be greatly reduced, which can improve the user experience.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the communication unit 130 includes a contact 131 formed on the housing 110 .

[0077] In this technical solution, a style of a communication unit 130 is further provided, and contacts 131 can be formed on the shell 110, and the contacts 131 are connected to the display screen 120. When the universal host 100 is assembled with other devices, the contacts 131 come into contact with the other devices, thereby realizing an electrical connection between the universal host 100 and the other devices, thereby realizing a communication connection between the universal host 100 and the other devices, and the display screen 120 of the universal host 100 can display the functions of other devices.

[0078] In a feasible implementation manner, the communication unit 130 includes a communication module disposed in the housing 110 ; wherein the communication module includes at least one of an NFC communication unit, a Bluetooth communication unit, and a UWB communication unit.

[0079] In this technical solution, the communication unit 130 may also include a communication module, and the communication module may include at least one of an NFC communication unit, a Bluetooth communication unit and a UWB communication unit. Based on this, the universal host 100 and other devices may also exchange data in a contactless manner, so that the display screen 120 of the universal host 100 can display the functions of other devices.

[0080] It can be understood that the NFC communication unit (Near Field Communication) adopts a new wireless communication technology that combines contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) and interconnection technology. It has the characteristics of high frequency, short distance, high security and high integration, and is particularly suitable for data exchange between the general host 100 and other devices.

[0081] It is understandable that the Bluetooth communication unit uses a communication technology that realizes data transmission between devices within a short distance through radio waves. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, strong anti-interference ability and high security, and can resist interference from other wireless devices, ensure the stability and reliability of communication, and protect the transmission security of data to prevent data from being stolen or tampered. It is particularly suitable for the general host 100 to exchange data with other devices.

[0082] It is understandable that the UWB communication unit (Ultra Wide Band) uses wireless carrier communication technology. It has a wide spectrum range, low system complexity, insensitivity to channel fading, low interception capability and high positioning accuracy, and can achieve high-precision ranging and positioning, and is particularly suitable for dense multipath places such as indoors. It is particularly suitable for the general host 100 to exchange data with other devices.

[0083] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the universal host 100 further includes: a fixing portion 140 , which is disposed on the housing 110 , and the universal host 100 is connected to other devices via the fixing portion 140 .

[0084] In this technical solution, considering that in most usage scenarios, the universal host 100 may need to be connected to other devices. For example, the user may have the need to use devices such as smart watches, Bluetooth speakers, and companion robots in life. When the user uses a smart watch, the universal host 100 needs to be connected to the watch strap. When the user uses a Bluetooth speaker, the universal host 100 needs to be set on the casing of the Bluetooth speaker. When the user uses a companion robot, the universal host 100 needs to be set on the casing of the companion robot to demonstrate the functions. Therefore, the universal host 100 needs to be connected to other devices. Based on this, in this example, the universal host 100 also includes a fixing part 140. The setting of the fixing part 140 makes the connection between the universal host 100 and other devices more reliable, thereby reducing the probability of the universal host 100 loosening.

[0085] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the fixing portion 140 includes a bayonet 141 .

[0086] In this technical solution, a style of the fixing portion 140 is further provided, and the universal host 100 can be connected to other devices by snapping, which can make the fixation of the universal host 100 more reliable and reduce the probability of the universal host 100 getting loose.

[0087] It is understandable that the snap-on connection method is used in scenes with large shaking, such as watches or sports cameras.

[0088] In a feasible implementation manner, the fixing portion 140 includes a magnetic member.

[0089] In this technical solution, the fixing part 140 may also include a magnetic part. By setting the magnetic part, the fixing part 140 can be connected to other devices by magnetic attraction, which facilitates the connection between the general device and other devices, making the installation of the general device more convenient and more design-oriented.

[0090] It is understandable that, in order to simplify the structure of the universal host 100 , a partial area of ​​the shell 110 can be made of magnetic material to form a magnetic member, or the magnetic member can be embedded in the shell 110 .

[0091] It is understandable that the magnetic attraction method is particularly suitable for accessories in non-violent shaking usage scenarios, such as robots, microscopes, etc.

[0092] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the universal host 100 further includes: a universal module 150 , which is disposed in the housing 110 .

[0093] In this technical solution, it is further taken into consideration that some modules are common among different electronic devices. Based on this, in this technical solution, the universal module 150 of the electronic device can be set in the shell 110, that is, the display screen 120, the universal module 150 and the shell 110 are integrated and packaged, and other supporting devices do not need to be equipped with these universal modules 150. A universal host 100 can be combined with multiple other supporting devices, which can save multiple universal modules 150 and display screens 120, reduce the cost of electronic equipment, and reduce energy consumption.

[0094] In a feasible implementation, the universal module 150 includes at least one of a processor, a GSM module, a memory, a control module 151, a microphone, a speaker, a wifi module, a camera, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a wireless charging module, and a host power supply.

[0095] In this technical solution, the structure of the universal module 150 is further provided. The universal module 150 may include at least one of a processor, a GSM module, a memory, a control module 151, a microphone, a speaker, a wifi module, a camera, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a wireless charging module and a host power supply. Based on this universal module 150, the computing center, mobile communication, data transmission, data storage, high-definition screen display, touch, knob button, sound transmission and reception and other universal functions can be performed. Other devices connected to the universal host 100 do not need to install the above-mentioned universal module 150, which can simplify the structure of other devices and reduce costs.

[0096] It is understandable that the control module 151 may be a knob disposed on one side of the housing 110 .

[0097] In summary, the universal host 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be installed on different accessory products according to the purpose. The components with general functions are integrated on the universal host 100, and the components with special functions are integrated on the equipment matching the universal host 100, thereby achieving the characteristics of reducing costs, centralized data processing, expandable uses, high flexibility, etc.

[0098] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, including: a universal host 100 as in any of the above technical solutions; and an accessory 210 , wherein the universal host 100 is connected to the accessory 210 .

[0099] like Figures 1 to 10cAs shown, the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the universal host 100 of any of the above technical solutions, so the electronic device has all the beneficial effects of the universal host 100 of the above technical solutions.

[0100] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a universal host 100 and an accessory 210, and the universal host 100 includes a housing 110, a display screen 120 and a communication unit 130. Based on this, the universal host 100 can establish a communication connection relationship with the accessory 210 through the communication unit 130, and the universal host 100 can be used as the display screen 120 of the accessory 210. A universal host 100 can be used as the display screen 120 of different accessories 210, which can reduce the cost of the electronic device. When the universal host 100 is equipped with a universal module 150, the accessory 210 does not need to be equipped with the universal module 150, which can further reduce the cost of the electronic device.

[0101] like Figures 4a to 4e As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the accessory 210 includes: a soft shell 211 , and the soft shell 211 is sleeved on the universal host 100 .

[0102] In this technical solution, a style of an accessory 210 is further provided. The accessory 210 may include a soft shell 211. The universal host 100 is covered with the soft shell 211 to complete the connection between the accessory 210 and the universal host 100. At the same time, the soft shell 211 can protect the universal host 100. In some examples, the soft shell 211 can be made of a silicone material.

[0103] like Figures 4a to 4e As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the accessory 210 includes: an adsorption component 212 , and the magnetic component of the universal host 100 is adsorbed on the adsorption component 212 .

[0104] In this technical solution, the accessory 210 may further include an adsorption member 212, and the fixing portion 140 of the universal host 100 may include a magnetic member. Based on this, the universal host 100 may be connected to the accessory 210 by magnetic adsorption, which can make the assembly of the universal host 100 more convenient and more design-oriented.

[0105] It is understandable that the adsorption member 212 can be made of a magnetic material or a material that can be magnetized.

[0106] In a feasible implementation manner, the accessory 210 includes: a buckle, which is connected to the bayonet 141 of the universal host 100 .

[0107] In this technical solution, a style of accessory 210 is further provided. The accessory 210 may include a buckle, and a bayonet 141 may be formed on the host. The universal host 100 is connected to the accessory 210 by snapping, which can make the fixation of the universal host 100 more reliable and reduce the probability of the universal host 100 loosening.

[0108] like Figures 4a to 10c As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, there are multiple accessories 210, and the multiple accessories 210 have different structures or functions.

[0109] In this technical solution, there can be multiple accessories 210, and the multiple accessories 210 have different structures or functions. Based on this, a universal host 100 can be connected to different accessories 210 to realize the display of different functions. In particular, when the universal host 100 is equipped with a universal module, the universal host 100 can realize the processing and display of different functions, and other accessories 210 do not need to be equipped with a display screen 120 and a universal module. Through a universal host 100 and multiple accessories 210, the functions of multiple electronic devices can be realized, which can reduce the overall cost of electronic devices.

[0110] like Figures 4a to 10c As shown, in a feasible implementation, the accessories 210 include: a watch 213, a pen chain, a chest strap, a sports camera 214, a microscope 215, a companion robot 217, a speaker 218, a projector, a thermometer 219, a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, a rangefinder, an electric toothbrush, a remote control, a smart kettle, a spoon, a handle 216, a reading pen, a bracket and at least one of a printing pen.

[0111] In this technical solution, the style of accessories 210 is further provided. There are multiple accessories 210, and the multiple accessories 210 may include at least one of a watch 213, a lanyard, a chest strap, a sports camera 214, a microscope 215, a companion robot 217, a speaker 218, a projector, a thermometer 219, a sphygmomanometer, a blood glucose meter, a rangefinder, an electric toothbrush, a remote control, a smart kettle, a spoon, a handle 216, a reading pen, a bracket and a printer. These accessories 210 do not need to be equipped with a display screen 120 and a universal module 150. They can be connected to these accessories 210 through a universal host 100, and the functions of these accessories 210 can be displayed through the display screen 120 of the host, and the functions of these accessories 210 can be calculated and processed through the universal module of the universal host 100. It can reduce costs and energy consumption while enabling electronic devices to realize functions.

[0112] It is understandable that when the universal host 100 is equipped with the universal module 150, the universal host 100 can realize universal functions such as computing power center, mobile communication, data transmission, data storage, high-definition screen display, touch, knob button, sound transmission and reception, etc. The structure on the accessory 210 takes more into account the specific usage scenarios, such as watch 213, camera 214, microscope 215, handle 216, etc. The accessory 210 device has corresponding sensors and their corresponding industrial appearance parts, such as camera accessory 210 will integrate components such as camera and photosensitive components, and watch 213 will integrate monitoring functions such as heart rate and body temperature, etc. It can also include a data transmission module and an accessory power supply. Based on this, the host does not need to integrate too many non-universal components, reducing energy consumption while reducing costs, and the accessory 210 does not need to add universal high-cost components such as display screen 120 and various basic computing powers. Data processing, calculation, storage and transmission are all done on the universal host 100. In the past, products such as sports cameras 214 needed to connect to Bluetooth after taking pictures and then transmit data to mobile phones. Electronic devices are equipped with the universal host 100. The universal host 100 is installed on the camera accessories 210, and the photos and videos are directly saved on the universal host 100. The universal host 100 is like the brain, and the other accessories 210 are like the various parts of the body. The universal host 100 can centrally process and control all accessories 210, and the accessories 210 can have their own exclusive functions and effects.

[0113] It is understandable that the accessories 210 can be a watch 213, a lanyard, a chest strap, a sports camera 214, a microscope 215, a companion robot 217, a speaker 218, a projector, a thermometer 219, a sphygmomanometer, a blood glucose meter, a rangefinder, an electric toothbrush, a remote control, a smart kettle, a spoon, a handle 216, a point reading pen, a bracket and a printer pen. After these accessories 210 are equipped with the universal host 100, the complete functions can be realized, and the universal host 100 can be used to make the electronic device have different functions. For example, after the watch 213 is matched with the universal host 100, the time can be displayed and communication can be carried out; after the sphygmomanometer is matched with the universal host 100, the test results and usage methods can be displayed; after the spoon is matched with the universal host 100, the weight can be displayed, etc.

[0128] like Fig.11 As shown, according to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a control method is proposed, which is applied to an electronic device as in any of the above technical solutions, and the control method includes:

[0129] Step 301: When the universal host is connected to the accessory, obtain type information of the accessory;

[0130] Step 302: Control the generic host to display functions based on the type information.

[0131] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to control an electronic device such as any of the above technical solutions, so the control method has all the beneficial effects of the electronic device of the above technical solutions.

[0132] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account that the functions of different accessories are different. Therefore, when the universal host is connected to the accessory, the two need to be adapted and the functions need to be identified. Based on this, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the type information of the accessory when the universal host is connected to the accessory, and then controls the universal host to display the function based on the type information. This setting allows the UI interface or program displayed by the universal host to adapt to the type of the accessory, making the interaction between the accessory and the universal host more accurate.

[0133] In a feasible implementation, when the universal host is connected to the accessory, the step of obtaining the type information of the accessory includes: performing near field communication between the universal host and the accessory, and determining the type information of the accessory based on the near field communication code of the accessory.

[0134] In this technical solution, a method for obtaining type information is provided. The universal host can perform near-field communication with the accessories, and each accessory can then have an independent near-field communication code. The universal host obtains the near-field communication code and can determine the type of accessory connected to it based on the near-field communication code, and can then interact and display information in a targeted manner.

[0135] In a feasible implementation, when the universal host is connected to the accessory, the step of obtaining the type information of the accessory includes: performing contact communication between the universal host and the accessory, determining the chip code of the accessory based on the contact communication, and determining the type information of the accessory based on the chip code.

[0136] In this technical solution, another way to obtain type information is provided. The universal host can communicate with the accessory by contact, and the two are connected through contacts. In this case, the universal host can obtain the chip code of the accessory through the contacts, and based on the chip code, it can also determine the type of accessory connected to it, and then can interact and display information in a targeted manner.

[0137] In a feasible implementation, when the universal host is connected to the accessory, the step of obtaining the type information of the accessory includes: remotely communicating with the accessory through the universal host, and determining the type information of the accessory based on the device code information of the connected accessory.

[0138] In this technical solution, another way to obtain type information is provided. The universal host can communicate through remote communications such as Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. In this case, the universal host can obtain the device code information of the accessory. Based on the device code information, the type of accessory connected to it can also be determined, and information interaction and display can be carried out in a targeted manner.

[0139] In a feasible implementation, the accessories include powered accessories and non-powered accessories; wherein, when the accessories are non-powered accessories, each non-powered accessory is provided with an independent near field communication code. With such a configuration, each accessory can be used independently, and when the universal host is connected to different accessories, no functional crosstalk is formed, and the display of the universal host content can be adapted to the functions and usage scenarios of the accessories.

[0140] In some examples, accessories include powered accessories and non-powered accessories. After the powered accessories are attached and linked to the universal host, and the contacts are connected, the universal host identifies the chip code of the accessories, thereby identifying the type and model of the accessories, and then starts the corresponding system UI interface. The UI interface can be at the system level, or it can be an app, or the trigger interface of the corresponding accessories can be preset in advance. For example, after connecting a camera accessory, the camera app is automatically opened, and when connecting a watch accessory, the system clock is automatically opened.

[0141] In some examples, accessories can be non-powered accessories, such as suction cup brackets. The universal host can be attached to the wall as a clock or controller. This type of accessory does not need to be powered. The non-powered accessory has an embedded NFC chip. After the universal host is installed close to it, it recognizes the NFC code and thus identifies the type of accessory and the preset. In one usage scenario, suppose there are two wall suction cups, one in the kitchen and one in the living room. We can set the suction cup with the A digital NFC code in the system in advance to be the kitchen scene, and the suction cup with the B digital NFC code to be the living room scene. In this way, when the universal host sucks the A code bracket, it automatically recognizes that this is the suction cup of the pre-set kitchen scene, and then the UI interface can directly change to the interface of related functions such as timing cooking, or open the app in the corresponding scene preset in advance. Of course, there can also be Bluetooth or WiFi connection, such as camera accessories. There is no need to install the universal host on the camera accessories. The camera accessories can also be connected remotely via Bluetooth to achieve remote control of the camera and remote viewing of the camera screen. The universal host is equivalent to a remote screen and controller. Or products such as Bluetooth speakers can also be connected using Bluetooth or WiFi.

[0142] In a feasible implementation manner, the accessories include powered accessories and non-powered accessories; wherein, when the accessory is a powered accessory, the control method further comprises: controlling a host power supply of the universal host to supply power to an accessory power supply of the accessory.

[0143] In this technical solution, when the accessory is a powered accessory, when the power supply of the powered accessory is insufficient, the host power supply of the universal host can also be used to supply power to the accessory, thereby ensuring the smooth execution of the accessory function.

[0144] In a feasible implementation manner, the accessories include powered accessories and non-powered accessories; wherein, when the accessories are powered accessories, the control method further includes: controlling the accessory power supply of the universal accessory to supply power to the host power supply of the universal host.

[0145] In this technical solution, when the accessory is a powered accessory, when the host power supply of the universal host is insufficient, the host power supply of the universal host can also be powered by the accessory power supply, thereby ensuring the smooth execution of the universal host functions.

[0146] In a feasible implementation, a plurality of accessory programs and / or accessory applications are stored in the processor of the general host, and the step of controlling the general host to display functions based on the type information includes: based on the type information, determining the accessory program and / or accessory application corresponding to the type information; calling the corresponding accessory program and / or accessory application, and displaying it through the display screen.

[0147] In this technical solution, a specific method for the universal host to display content is further provided. The accessory program and / or accessory application can be displayed through the universal host. Furthermore, the user can control the universal host by touching or turning a knob to realize the specific execution of the function, making the universal host more convenient to use.

[0148] The following uses some scenarios as examples to illustrate the processing and storage data logic of the general host:

[0149] Taking a watch as an example, after the universal host is connected to the watch accessory, the detection sensor is activated, and the detection result is transmitted to the universal host through the chip in the watch accessory. The universal host is responsible for processing and recording this information.

[0150] Taking the camera as an example, after the universal host is connected to the camera, the lens of the camera accessory is activated. The camera contains the components of a common sports camera, lens, photosensitive chip, main chip, storage, etc. The image signal is processed in the camera, and then the picture is processed by the camera main chip and transmitted to the universal host through contacts or Bluetooth. After starting to record or take pictures, the content is directly stored in the universal host and the camera accessory, so there is no need to import and export photos or videos back and forth later.

[0151] Taking the handle as an example, the handle and the universal host are connected through contacts or Bluetooth, and then the universal host is connected to large screens, projectors, pad computers and other devices through Bluetooth or WiFi to achieve control.

[0152] Taking the robot as an example, the robot accessories and the universal host are connected through contacts or Bluetooth. The robot's computing power is on the universal host, which controls the robot's movement, sound, etc., while motors, speakers and other devices are integrated into the robot accessories, and the power consumed by these devices is also the battery that comes with the robot accessories themselves.

[0153] Through the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, combined with the control method, for accessory devices that consume a lot of computing power, the chip of the accessory itself is used to process data in advance, such as a camera, and then the result is transmitted to the host. For accessories that consume a lot of power, such as cameras, these accessories have their own batteries, and these accessories can reverse power the host. For devices that consume little power or require a high degree of integration, such as watches, depending on the actual situation, it may not be necessary to add batteries to the accessories, which can simplify the structure of the accessories and reduce the cost of electronic products.
