[0002] With the development of science and technology, people can use antennas to conduct short-distance or long-distance wireless communications, making information transmission more efficient and convenient. However, in the prior art, the information of the antenna is not transparent enough. For users of the interactive end that interacts with the antenna, it is often easier to notice the location and working status of the interactive end, but not the location and working status of the antenna itself, which will prolong the user's reaction and operation time. For example, in the case of short-range wireless communication, if the user does not easily notice the position of the antenna itself, it is not easy to directly place the mobile device serving as the interactive end to a position where it can communicate wirelessly with the antenna at close range, and the user may need to adjust the position of the mobile device multiple times. On the other hand, the antenna of the device often needs to extend outside the device in order to better send and receive signals, and the exposed antenna is often not beautiful enough.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new antenna module so that the information of the antenna module itself can be presented more clearly to reduce the reaction and operation time of the user.

[0029] Figure 3 A bottom view of an antenna module provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements of this specification, with the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to make and use the contents of this specification. Various local modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of this specification. Therefore, this specification is not limited to the embodiments shown, but to the widest scope consistent with the claims.

[0031] The terms used herein are only used for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments and are not restrictive. For example, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" may also include plural forms. When used in this specification, the terms "include", "comprise" and / or "contain" mean that the associated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components exist, but do not exclude the existence of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups or that other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups may be added in the system / method.

[0032] In view of the following description, these and other features of the present specification, as well as the operation and function of the related elements of the structure, and the economy of the combination and manufacture of the parts can be significantly improved. Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification. However, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustration and description purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0033] The flowcharts used in this specification illustrate the operations implemented by the system according to some embodiments in this specification. It should be clearly understood that the operations of the flowcharts may not be implemented in sequence. On the contrary, the operations may be implemented in reverse order or simultaneously. In addition, one or more other operations may be added to the flowchart. One or more operations may be removed from the flowchart.

[0034] In this specification, "X includes at least one of A, B or C" means that X includes at least A, or X includes at least B, or X includes at least C. That is, X may include only any one of A, B, and C, or may include any combination of A, B, and C and other possible contents / elements at the same time. The any combination of A, B, and C may be A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, or ABC.

[0035] In this specification, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the association relationship between structures can be a direct association relationship or an indirect association relationship. For example, when describing "A is connected to B", unless it is explicitly stated that A is directly connected to B, it should be understood that A can be directly connected to B or indirectly connected to B; for another example, when describing "A is above B", unless it is explicitly stated that A is directly above B (AB is adjacent and A is above B), it should be understood that A can be directly above B or indirectly above B (AB is separated by other elements and A is above B). And so on.

[0036] In the prior art, for users of the interactive end that interacts with the antenna for information, it is often easier to notice the position and working status of the interactive end, but not the position and working status of the antenna itself, which prolongs the user's reaction and operation time. For example, in the case of short-range wireless communication, if the user does not easily notice the position of the antenna itself, it is not easy to directly place the mobile device serving as the interactive end to a position where it can communicate wirelessly with the antenna at short range, and the user may need to adjust the position of the mobile device multiple times. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new antenna module so that the information of the antenna module itself can be presented more clearly to reduce the user's reaction and operation time.

[0037] The antenna module provided in this specification can have at least one of the functions of transmitting electromagnetic waves and receiving electromagnetic waves, so that it can transmit and / or receive wireless signals when working. The antenna module can display information through a display component. For example, the display side of the display component can display the working status information of the antenna module, identification information for identifying the function of the antenna module and / or corporate information related to the antenna module, so that the display component can play a role in reminding, guiding and identifying.

[0038] The antenna module provided in this specification can transmit electromagnetic waves to send information to the outside world, or the antenna module can receive electromagnetic waves to receive information from the outside world. Of course, the antenna module can have the functions of transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves at the same time to be able to exchange information with the outside world.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an antenna module provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 An exploded view of an antenna module provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of an antenna module provided according to an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the antenna module 1 includes a housing 10, an antenna assembly 300 and a display assembly 400. The housing 10 is provided with a receiving space 101, and the housing 10 includes a fixing portion 201, and the fixing portion 201 is configured to be connected to an external device. The antenna assembly 300 is arranged in the receiving space 101, and the antenna assembly 300 has a first interface portion 301, and the first interface portion 301 extends from the housing 10. The display assembly 400 is arranged in the receiving space 101, and includes a light-emitting element 410 and a projection element 420. The light-emitting element 410 includes a circuit board and a light source 403. When working, the light emitted is irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting pattern 421 on the projection element 420 and the housing 10.

[0040] The housing 10 can be configured so that the display side 401 of the display assembly 400 is visible to the outside. The housing 10 can protect the display assembly 400, reduce the risk of damage to the display assembly 400 by external mechanical impact, and reduce the risk of dust and water droplets invading the inside of the display assembly 400. By providing the housing 10, it is convenient to place or install the antenna module 1 in the application scenario.

[0041] The antenna module 1 can display information through the display component 400 for viewing by the outside world. For example, the display side 401 of the display component 400 can display the working status information of the antenna module 1, identification information for identifying the function of the antenna module 1 and / or corporate information related to the antenna module 1, so as to play the role of reminder, guidance and identification. Of course, the display component 400 can also display various decorative patterns to decorate the appearance of the antenna module 1.

[0042] The antenna assembly 300 may have the function of transmitting and / or receiving electromagnetic waves, so that it can transmit and / or receive wireless signals when working. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 transmits wireless signals when working. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 receives wireless signals when working. In other embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 both receives and transmits wireless signals when working.

[0043] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 is an NFC antenna. For example, the NFC antenna may be composed of a circuit coil and a ferrite material. Among them, NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is a short-range wireless communication technology that can achieve contactless identification and interconnection between different devices. For example, the mobile device and the antenna module 1 can perform short-range wireless communication with the help of NFC technology.

[0044] In some embodiments, display assembly 400 includes a display screen.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 10 includes a light-transmitting member 100 and a base 200 , wherein the light-transmitting member 100 is connected to the base 200 , and the display side 401 of the display assembly 400 faces the light-transmitting member 100 . When the display assembly 400 is working, the display side 401 is visible to the outside through the light-transmitting member 100 .

[0046] The information displayed by the display assembly 400 can be transmitted to the outside through the light-transmitting member 100, and the outside can see the information displayed by the display assembly 400. The light-transmitting member 100 can protect the display assembly 400, reduce the risk of damage to the display assembly 400 due to external mechanical impact, and reduce the risk of dust and water droplets invading the inside of the display assembly 400.

[0047] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting member 100 is made of a transparent material. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting member 100 can be set to a translucent state. For example, the light-transmitting member 100 is made of a translucent black or dark brown material.

[0048] In some embodiments, the material of the light-transmitting element 100 is glass or polymer.

[0049] The base 200 can be used as the base of the antenna module 1 to support the light-transmitting member 100, the antenna assembly 300, and the display assembly 400, which is conducive to the use of the antenna module 1 in different application scenarios. In some embodiments, the base 200 can be placed on a work surface in the application scenario, so that the antenna module 1 can be used in the application scenario. In other embodiments, the base 200 can be fixedly installed on an electronic device, so that the antenna module 1 becomes the antenna module of the electronic device.

[0050] Furthermore, the main surface of the antenna module 1 is located on the light-transmitting member 100. When the base 200 is placed on a work surface or fixedly installed on other equipment, the light-transmitting member 100 is exposed to the outside. When the mobile device and the antenna module 1 need to communicate at close range, the user can hold the mobile device close to the light-transmitting member 100, so that information can be transmitted between the mobile device and the antenna module 1 through the light-transmitting member 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display component 400 includes a light-emitting element 410 and a projection element 420. The projection element 420 includes a light-transmitting pattern 421. The light-transmitting pattern 421 is arranged between the light-emitting element 410 and the light-transmitting element 100. When the light-emitting element 410 is working, the light emitted is irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting pattern 421 and the light-transmitting element 100.

[0052] Specifically, the light-transmitting pattern 421 has a different light transmittance from other parts of the projection element 420, or the light-transmitting pattern 421 has a different color from other parts of the projection element 420, so that when the light-emitting element 410 is working, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 410 irradiates the light-transmitting element 100, which makes the light-transmitting pattern 421 stand out from other parts of the light-transmitting element 100, making the light-transmitting pattern 421 more eye-catching. Furthermore, the light transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern 421 is higher than the light transmittance of other parts of the projection element 420.

[0053] The light-transmitting pattern 421 may be located on the display side 401 of the display assembly 400, and the shape of the light-transmitting pattern 421 may be configured to represent information. For example, the shape of the light-transmitting pattern 421 may be configured to represent the working state of the antenna module 1, identify the function of the antenna module 1, and / or represent the enterprise related to the antenna module 1. Of course, the light-transmitting pattern 421 may also be used as a decorative pattern to decorate the appearance of the antenna module 1.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the projection element 420 may be hollowed out to form a light-transmitting pattern 421 .

[0055] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the antenna assembly 300 is disposed between the light emitting element 410 and the projecting element 420 .

[0056] With such a configuration, on the one hand, the antenna assembly 300 will not block the light-transmitting pattern 421 when the projection piece 420 is displayed to the outside, which is conducive to fully displaying the light-transmitting pattern 421 to the outside; on the other hand, when the base 200 is connected to an external device through its bottom surface, the position of the antenna assembly 300 is outside the external device and away from the circuit of the external device, which can reduce the electromagnetic interference of the external device to the antenna assembly 300, which is conducive to reducing noise and improving the accuracy of information transmission between the antenna assembly 300 and the outside world.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the light emitting element 410 includes a first light emitting portion 411 and a second light emitting portion 412 , and the second light emitting portion 412 surrounds the first light emitting portion 411 .

[0058] By providing the first light-emitting portion 411 and the second light-emitting portion 412, the antenna module 1 can present a more complex display effect. In some embodiments, the light-transmitting pattern 421 is located in the central area of ​​the projection element 420, and the first light-emitting portion 411 can be arranged opposite to the light-transmitting pattern 421, so that the light-transmitting pattern 421 can obtain sufficient illumination, which is conducive to the bright display of the light-transmitting pattern 421. When the second light-emitting portion 412 emits light, it can create a larger light-emitting area, which can make the antenna module 1 more eye-catching as a whole.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the light-transmitting member 100 is in the shape of a disk or a dome. The second light-emitting portion 412 is in the shape of a ring, and the light emitted forms a halo effect after passing through the light-transmitting member 100.

[0060] In this way, the shape of the second light-emitting portion 412 can be matched with the shape of the light-transmitting member 100, so that the light-emitting effect of the second light-emitting portion 412 can match the shape of the light-transmitting member 100. Furthermore, the second light-emitting portion 412 can be close to the annular edge of the light-transmitting member 100, so that the annular edge of the light-transmitting member 100 presents a halo effect, so that the light-emitting module has a striking visual effect. For example, the halo effect can create a sense of boundary, which can be used to guide the user to bring the smartphone close to the area within the halo of the antenna module 1, so that the signal transmission between the smartphone and the antenna module 1 is more reliable and efficient.

[0061] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting member 100 protrudes outward in an arch shape, which can make the antenna module 1 more visually eye-catching on the one hand, and on the other hand, the outer surface of the light-transmitting member 100 has a uniform shape, a smooth transition and no sharp corners, which is convenient for users to hold mobile devices and approach the antenna assembly 300 from all directions and in different postures.

[0062] In some embodiments, the antenna component 300 is ring-shaped and is disposed corresponding to the second light-emitting portion 412 . The antenna component 300 can be abutted by the second light-emitting portion 412 and assembled between the second light-emitting portion 412 and the light-transmitting pattern 421 .

[0063] In some embodiments, a mounting groove is formed on the projection member 420, and the light emitting member 410 and the antenna assembly 300 can be installed in the mounting groove, and the light-transmitting pattern 421 can be located on the bottom wall of the mounting groove. In this way, the projection member 420 can fully shield the light emitting member 410 and the antenna assembly 300. On the one hand, the projection member 420 can play a role in uniform light, making the light emitted by the display assembly 400 softer. On the other hand, the projection member 420, the light emitting member 410 and the antenna assembly 300 can be assembled as a whole for easy assembly.

[0064] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 is disposed between the display assembly 400 and the light-transmitting member 100 .

[0065] Such a configuration can, on the one hand, make the antenna assembly 300 closer to the light-transmitting member 100, thereby facilitating close-range communication between the antenna assembly 300 and the outside world; on the other hand, it can make the antenna assembly 300 further away from the base 200, thereby reducing the electromagnetic interference of the external device on the antenna assembly 300 when the base 200 is connected to the external device, which is beneficial to reducing noise and improving the accuracy of information transmission between the antenna assembly 300 and the outside world.

[0066] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 300 is disposed between the display assembly 400 and the base 200 .

[0067] Such a configuration can reduce the impact of the installation requirements of the antenna component 300 on the structure of the display component 400, and the display component 400 can be assembled as a module, which is conducive to simplifying the assembly process. At the same time, it is conducive to achieving sufficient shielding of the antenna component 300 by the display component 400, thereby improving the display effect.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 200 includes a fixing portion 201 , and the fixing portion 201 is provided with a connection structure configured to be connected to an external device.

[0069] By providing a connection structure, the base 200 and the external device can be assembled and connected, which is beneficial for the antenna module 1 to maintain a stable connection with the external device so as to work together.

[0070] In other embodiments, the antenna module 1 may be mounted on a wall, and the connection structure may be configured to be connected to a wall surface, or the external device may be mounted on a work surface, and the connection structure may be configured to be connected to the work surface.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base 200 is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting member 100 . The antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed on the fixing portion 201 .

[0072] By providing the fixing part 201, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 can be connected to the base 200. During the assembly process, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 can be fixed on the fixing part 201 first, and then the base 200 and the light-transmitting member 100 are fixedly connected.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base 200 includes a bottom 210 and a peripheral side portion 220, and the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting member 100. Specifically, the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 is provided with an annular connecting groove 221 facing the light-transmitting member 100, and glue can be injected into the connecting groove 221. The annular edge of the light-transmitting member 100 can be inserted into the connecting groove 221 and fixedly connected to the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 by glue, so that the bottom 210, the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 and the light-transmitting member 100 can enclose the accommodating space 101.

[0074] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 201 includes at least one of the bottom portion 210 or the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 .

[0075] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixing portion 201 includes the bottom 210 of the base 200 but does not include the peripheral side portion 220, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed to the bottom 210 of the base 200, and the bottom 210 of the base 200 is provided with a connection structure and connected to an external device through the connection structure. For example, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed to the side of the bottom 210 of the base 200 facing the light-transmitting member 100, and the side of the bottom 210 of the base 200 facing away from the light-transmitting member 100 is provided with a connection structure and connected to an external device through the connection structure.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 201 includes the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 but does not include the bottom 210, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed to the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200, and the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 is provided with a connecting structure and is connected to an external device through the connecting structure.

[0077] In other embodiments, the fixing portion 201 includes a bottom portion 210 and a peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200. The antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed to the bottom portion 210 of the base 200, and the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200 is provided with a connection structure and connected to an external device through the connection structure. Alternatively, the antenna assembly 300 and the display assembly 400 are fixed to the peripheral side portion 220 of the base 200, and the bottom portion 210 of the base 200 is provided with a connection structure and connected to an external device through the connection structure.

[0078] In some embodiments, the connection structure includes at least one of a threaded connection structure, a hook structure, a suction cup structure, or a magnetic structure.

[0079] In this way, a detachable connection between the antenna module 1 and the external device can be achieved.

[0091] The second interface portion 402 may be located in the accommodating space 101 . By providing the connection port 230 , the circuit of the external device may be allowed to extend into the accommodating space 101 and connect to the second interface portion 402 .

[0092] In other embodiments, the second interface portion 402 may extend from the connection port 230 to be connected to a circuit of an external device.
