Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of electronic devices, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Cameras are commonly found in mobile phones and laptops, and are used to realize various functions such as daily photography and video chat. Taking a laptop as an example, generally speaking, the camera is installed on the border of the laptop screen and only faces a fixed direction. This method will limit the shooting range of the camera, reduce the utilization rate, and also reduce the screen-to-body ratio.

[0003] How to provide a solution to expand the camera's shooting range and meet more shooting needs based on the number of camera configurations, while increasing the screen-to-body ratio, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which, under the premise of only the number of camera configurations, can expand the camera's shooting range and meet more shooting needs by modifying the PIN definition and circuit on one side of the camera or one side of the electronic device body, while also increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0055] The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0057] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0058] Cameras are commonly found in electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, and are used to realize users' daily photography, video chatting and other functions.

[0059] Figure 1 An example diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Taking a laptop as an example, generally speaking, the camera is a built-in camera installed at the border of the laptop screen and only faces a fixed direction, which will limit the shooting range of the camera and reduce the utilization rate.

[0060] For example, Figure 1 As shown in (a), the camera is installed at the center of the top frame of the laptop screen. When the screen is perpendicular to the keyboard, the camera is only facing one side of the keyboard. In this way, when it is necessary to shoot the environment on the opposite side, the shooting requirement cannot be met; and the screen also has black edges and the screen-to-body ratio is relatively low.

[0061] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown in (b) and Figure 1 As shown in (c) in the figure, for desktop computers, televisions and other devices, either there is no camera and an external independent camera is required when using them; or the camera is only installed in a fixed position of the device and only faces a fixed direction. This method limits the shooting range of the camera and reduces the utilization rate.

[0062] How to provide a solution to expand the shooting range of the camera and meet more shooting needs based on the limited number of camera configurations has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0063] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device; in the embodiment of the present application, by changing the camera and the electronic device body included in the electronic device into a separate structure, modifying the circuit on one side of the camera or the circuit on one side of the electronic device body, when the camera switches direction, the interface connected to the electronic device body can be reused, so that the camera can switch directions on the electronic device body, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera, meeting more shooting needs, and at the same time increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0064] Optionally, in addition to forward and reverse switching, in the embodiment of the present application, the camera can also achieve multi-angle direction switching on the electronic device body, thereby greatly expanding the shooting range of the camera and meeting more shooting needs.

[0065] For example, assuming that the field of view that can be captured by a camera in the prior art is 0 to 180°, the embodiment of the present application enables the camera to switch forward and backward on the electronic device body, so that the field of view that can be captured by the camera can be 0° to 180° and 180° to 360°. It can be seen that the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application expands the range of the camera that can be captured compared to the prior art.

[0066] For example, assuming that the field of view that can be captured by the camera in the prior art is 0-90°, the embodiment of the present application enables the camera to achieve multi-angle direction switching on the electronic device body, so that the field of view that can be captured by the camera can be 0-90°, 90-180°, 180-270°, and 270-360°. It can be seen that the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application expands the range of the camera that can be captured compared to the prior art.

[0067] Combine the following Figures 3 to 7 The structure of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application and the applicable shooting scenarios are introduced in detail. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0068] For example, the electronic device 100 involved in the embodiments of the present application may be, in addition to a laptop computer, a mobile phone, a smart screen, a tablet computer, a wearable electronic device, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a projector, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the electronic device 100.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a body 101 and a switchable camera 193; Figure 3 , which is a hardware structure diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application, is described in detail below.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 100 may include a body 101 and a switchable camera 193; the body 101 of the electronic device may include a processor (central processing unit, CPU) 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) interface 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, a button 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a display screen 194, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface 195, etc. Among them, the sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor, a gyroscope sensor, an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, a bone conduction sensor, etc.

[0071] It should be noted that Figure 3 The structure shown does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include Figure 3 More or fewer components than those shown, or the electronic device 100 may include Figure 3 A combination of some of the components shown, or the electronic device 100 may include Figure 3 Subassemblies of some of the components shown. Figure 3 The components shown may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0072] Exemplarily, the processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include at least one of the following processing units: an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and a neural-network processing unit (NPU). Among them, different processing units may be independent devices or integrated devices. The controller may generate an operation control signal according to the instruction opcode and the timing signal to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0073] The processor 110 may also be provided with a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may store instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or cyclically used. If the processor 110 needs to use the instruction or data again, it may be directly called from the memory. This avoids repeated access, reduces the waiting time of the processor 110, and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

[0074] In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. For example, the processor 110 may include at least one of the following interfaces: an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an inter-integrated circuit sound (I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, a SIM interface, and a USB interface.

[0075] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, the processor 110 in the body 101 of the electronic device 100 is connected to the switchable camera 193 for data transmission, power transmission, etc. with the switchable camera 193. For example, the processor 110 can receive an image signal captured by the switchable camera 193 and provide power to the switchable camera 193.

[0076] Figure 3 The connection relationship between the modules shown is only a schematic illustration and does not constitute a limitation on the connection relationship between the modules in the body 101 of the electronic device 100. Optionally, the modules in the body 101 of the electronic device 100 may also adopt a combination of multiple connection modes in the above embodiments.

[0077] The wireless communication function of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be realized by components such as the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, the modem processor and the baseband processor.

[0078] Antenna 1 and antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve the utilization of antennas. For example, antenna 1 can be reused as a diversity antenna for a wireless local area network. In some other embodiments, the antenna can be used in combination with a tuning switch.

[0079] The body 101 of the electronic device 100 can realize the display function through the GPU, the display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, which connects the display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs, which execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

[0080] Display screen 194 may be used to display images or videos.

[0081] Optionally, the display screen 194 can be used to display images or videos. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a mini light-emitting diode (Mini LED), a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a micro OLED (Micro OLED) or a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED). In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0082] Exemplarily, the digital signal processor is used to process digital signals, and can process not only digital image signals but also other digital signals. For example, when the electronic device 100 is selecting a frequency point, the digital signal processor is used to perform Fourier transform on the frequency point energy.

[0083] Exemplarily, the video codec is used to compress or decompress digital video. The electronic device 100 may support one or more video codecs. Thus, the body 101 of the electronic device 100 may play or record videos in a variety of coding formats, such as moving picture experts group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3 and MPEG4.

[0084] The above is a detailed introduction to the structure of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 . The following is an introduction to the internal structure of the switchable camera 193 and the connection method between the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 .

[0085] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the switchable camera 193 are of a separate structure, that is, the switchable camera 193 is not a built-in camera and can be separated from the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 or connected to the main body 101. The specific connection method can be set as needed, and the present application does not limit this.

[0086] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, when the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 is connected to the switchable camera 193, the electronic device 100 can realize a shooting function through the switchable camera 193, a video codec arranged in the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, a GPU, a display screen 194, and an application processor.

[0087] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 is used to capture static images or videos. It can be triggered to turn on through application instructions to realize the photo function, such as taking pictures to obtain images of any scene. In the embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 may include a housing 193A, and the housing 193A includes an imaging lens, a filter, a photosensitive element (also referred to as an image sensor), and an ISP and other shooting components 193B.

[0088] Exemplarily, the light emitted or reflected by the object enters the imaging lens, passes through the filter, and finally converges on the photosensitive element. The imaging lens is mainly used to converge the light emitted or reflected by all objects in the shooting angle (also known as the scene to be shot, the target scene, and can also be understood as the scene image that the user expects to shoot) to form an image; the filter is mainly used to filter out the excess light waves in the light (for example, light waves other than visible light, such as infrared); the photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element is mainly used to perform photoelectric conversion on the received light signal, convert it into an electrical signal, and then transmit the electrical signal to the ISP to convert it into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP in the body 101 of the electronic device 100 for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV or other format.

[0089] Exemplarily, the ISP is used to process data fed back by the photosensitive element. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, and light is transmitted to the photosensitive element through the imaging lens. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converts it into an image visible to the naked eye. The ISP can perform algorithmic optimization on the noise, brightness and color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure and color temperature of the shooting scene. In an embodiment of the present application, the ISP is set in the reversible camera 193. In addition, the clock signal and the original data signal are transmitted between the photosensitive element and the ISP based on the MIPI protocol.

[0090] Optionally, the imaging lens may include at least one of a standard lens, a wide-angle lens, a fisheye lens, a telephoto lens, a macro lens, a depth of field lens, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] Optionally, a laser focus module and / or a fill light may also be provided in the switchable camera 193 .

[0092] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may include the at least one switchable camera 193 mentioned above, and of course, may also include other cameras such as a built-in camera, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0093] Optionally, when the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 is disconnected from the switchable camera 193 , a storage slot may be provided on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 for storing the switchable camera 193 .

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with the structure of the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 described above, when the user needs to use the switchable camera 193 for shooting, the switchable camera 193 can be connected to the main body 101, and the switchable camera 193 can be called for shooting after turning on the power; when it is necessary to switch the shooting direction or the field of view, the switchable camera 193 can be unplugged from the main body 101, and after switching the direction of the switchable camera 193, it can be reconnected to the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 to enable it again; and when the switchable camera 193 is not needed, the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 can be disconnected or the switchable camera 193 can be unplugged from the main body 101.

[0095] Based on the above working method, in the embodiment of the present application, the switchable camera 193 and the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected using a connector.

[0096] Exemplarily, the camera and the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by plugging and unplugging, or by contacting a connector and an interface. For example, the connector and the interface can be a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface. Of course, other types of interfaces can also be used for connection, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0097] by Figure 2 Taking the laptop computer shown as an example, the switchable camera 193 and the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by contacting a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface, that is, the connector includes a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface.

[0098] For example, a Pogo Pin connector can be provided on one side of the reversible camera 193, and a Pogo Pin interface can be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100. It should be noted that a Pogo Pin connector is a spring-type probe formed by three basic components: a needle shaft, a spring, and a needle tube; a Pogo Pin interface refers to a connection port that matches a Pogo Pin connector; Pogo Pin interfaces and Pogo Pin connectors are usually provided in pairs in the same number. In an embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 and the body 101 can be connected by aligning the provided Pogo Pin interface and Pogo Pin connector, thereby realizing functions such as data communication and power transmission between the two.

[0099] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a switchable camera 193 including a Pogo Pin connector is shown.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the switchable camera 193 includes a housing 193A, and a shooting component 193B disposed in the housing 193A. The imaging lens in the shooting component 193B can perform light convergence imaging through a through hole disposed on a side of the housing 193A. The switchable camera 193 also includes a Pogo Pin connector 193C, one side of which is connected to the ISP in the shooting component 193B, and the other side can be aligned and connected with the Pogo Pin interface disposed on the body 101 of the electronic device 100 through a through hole disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 193A, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the switchable camera 193 and the body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the number and arrangement position of the Pogo Pin connector 193C in the reversible camera 193 can be set as needed, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Accordingly, the number and arrangement position of the Pogo Pin interface set on the body 101 of the electronic device 100 must correspond to the Pogo Pin connector 193C set in the reversible camera 193. Both the Pogo Pin connector 193C and the Pogo Pin interface can be called PIN pins.

[0102] Optionally, in order to achieve better connection, a magnetic connector 193D can also be set on the inner side of the bottom surface of the shell 193A in the reversible camera 193; or, the bottom surface of the shell 193A in the reversible camera 193 or the frame material of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can also be a magnetic material.

[0103] Exemplarily, the magnetic connector 193D may be a magnet or a magnetic material that can be magnetically attracted by a magnet, and a corresponding magnetic attraction component may be provided on the body 101 of the corresponding electronic device 100 .

[0104] For example, when the magnetic connector 193D is a magnet, a magnet or magnetic material may be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100. For another example, when the magnetic connector 193D is a magnetic material, a magnet may be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0105] For example, Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 As shown in (b) in FIG. 1 , a magnet may be disposed on the inner side of the lower surface of the shell 193A in the switchable camera 193 , and correspondingly, a magnetic attraction member may be disposed on the inner side of the upper frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 .

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a magnetic connector or setting the frame material of the shell and the main body 101 to a magnetic material, the reversible camera 193 and the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by a simple magnetic attraction method, and has the characteristics of active adsorption and connection when close. Moreover, it is relatively stable after connection and can be used in scenes with relatively bumpy environments.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, when the reversible camera 193 is connected to the main body 101 and faces the keyboard side, the reversible camera 193 can be called in the forward mode; when the reversible camera 193 is connected to the main body 101 and faces away from the keyboard side, the reversible camera 193 can be called in the reverse mode.

[0108] It should be understood that in the forward mode and the reverse mode, the number and position of the PogoPin connectors set relative to the reversible camera 193 have not changed, but relative to the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, the order of the connectors on the reversible camera 193 used to connect to the Pogo Pin interface on the main body 101 has switched.

[0109] For example, in the forward mode, the 1st to Nth Pogo Pin connectors on the reversible camera 193 are aligned and connected with the 1st to Nth Pogo Pin interfaces on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 respectively; in the reverse mode, the Nth to 1st Pogo Pin connectors on the reversible camera 193 are aligned and connected with the 1st to N Pogo Pin interfaces on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 respectively; compared with the two modes, the corresponding relationship between the Pogo Pin connectors and the Pogo Pin interfaces has changed.

[0110] For example, Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of a scene captured by the switchable camera 193 in the forward mode provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5As shown, when the camera is in the forward mode on the body 101, in response to the user's operation, after the switchable camera 193 is turned on, the user himself can be photographed. This scenario can be applicable to online interviews, video chats, etc.

[0111] For example, Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of a scene captured by the reversible camera 193 in the reverse mode provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, when the camera is in reverse mode on the body 101, in response to the user's operation, after the reversible camera 193 is turned on, the user can use the camera to shoot the shooting scene directly opposite. This scenario can be suitable for online teaching, live streaming and so on.

[0112] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a Pogo Pin interface can also be directly added to the frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, for alignment and connection with the Pogo Pin connector included in the reversible camera 193. In this way, the reversible camera 193 after connection is in a convex state relative to the body 101.

[0113] Alternatively, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 may further add a groove at the frame, and add a PogoPin interface in the groove for aligning and connecting with the Pogo Pin connector included in the switchable camera 193; in this way, the connected switchable camera 193 will be located in the set groove.

[0114] Optionally, the Pogo Pin interface added to the body 101 of the electronic device 100 may be provided on any frame of the electronic device 100 , for example, may be added to the upper frame or the side frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 .

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, on the premise of only the number of camera configurations, taking into account the user's needs for shooting forward-facing blackboard writing, text, and human environments, the built-in camera included in the electronic device is modified to a detachable switchable camera that can be connected to the main body of the electronic device, so that the switchable camera can be switched in different directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera, meeting more shooting needs, and at the same time increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0116] In order to enable the switchable camera to switch in different directions on the body 101 of the electronic device 100, in the embodiment of the present application, the definition and circuit of the connector on one side of the switchable camera or the definition and circuit of the connector on the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be modified, so that after the switchable camera switches forward and backward, the connector on the body 101 and the connector with the same definition on the switchable camera side can be aligned and connected respectively. Based on this idea, the various circuits provided in the embodiment of the present application are combined below. Figures 7 to 17 The circuits provided in the embodiments of the present application are respectively introduced in detail.

[0117] Implementation method 1

[0118] Figure 7 A schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0119] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a detachable main body 101 and a switchable camera; the main body 101 is aligned and connected through a first group of connecting parts and a second group of connecting parts set on the switchable camera to perform data transmission and power supply; the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts each include a plurality of connecting parts, and the functions of at least some of the connecting parts are the same when aligned and connected; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship, the main body 101 is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a first direction; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship, the main body 101 is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a second direction.

[0120] Specifically, the CPU in the main body 101 and the ISP in the switchable camera 193 are connected and then connected by aligning the first set of connectors with the second set of connectors to achieve data transmission and power supply.

[0121] Optionally, the connectors in the first group of connectors are Pogo pin interfaces, and the connectors in the second group of connectors are Pogo pin connectors.

[0122] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is at least 7, the functions of the multiple connectors included in the first group of connectors and / or the second group of connectors are distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner.

[0123] It should be understood that when the processor 110 on the main body 101 side and the switchable camera 193 perform data communication and power transmission based on the USB2.0 protocol, at least four ports with different definitions are required, namely, the positive power supply, the ground terminal (or the negative power supply), the positive data terminal and the negative data terminal. For example, the voltage of the positive power supply can be 3.3V.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor on the main body 101 side and the switchable camera 193 can also perform data communication and circuit transmission based on protocols such as USB1.0, USB3.0, Type-C protocol, etc. The ports defined by each protocol can be set as needed, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0125] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is 7, the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are arranged in the same manner and are at least in an I-shape (e.g. Fig.16 (a) in the figure), honeycomb type (as shown in Fig.16 (b) in the figure), M-shaped (as shown in Fig.16 (c) in the figure), straight line (as shown in Fig.16 In the embodiment of the present application, when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are arranged in a straight line, the thickness of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the switchable camera 193 can be designed to be thinner.

[0126] For example, Fig.16 Taking (a), (b), (c) and (d) in FIG. 1 as an example, the first direction is opposite to the second direction, or in other words, the first direction and the second direction differ by 180°.

[0127] For example, Fig.16 Taking (b) in the figure as an example, the first direction and the second direction may differ by 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, or 300°. At this time, a third switching circuit may be added to the side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 or the side of the switchable camera 193, which is used to switch the function of the connector in the non-central position of the first group of connectors or the second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship. For the introduction of the third switching circuit, please refer to the subsequent introduction of the second switching circuit, which will not be repeated here.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first group of connecting members and the second group of connecting members are Fig.16 When arranged in the manner shown in (b) in FIG. 1 , the switchable camera 193 can switch to more directions. Optionally, a rotation controller can also be provided in the electronic device 100 to control the switchable camera to automatically rotate to achieve the switching of the above different directions.

[0129] In the following, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the switchable camera 193 are connected by aligning through 7 Pogo pin interfaces and 7 Pogo pin connectors as an example, the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are located on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, and the 7 Pogo pin connectors are located on the switchable camera 193. Moreover, the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are arranged in a straight line, and accordingly, the 7 Pogo pin connectors are also arranged in a straight line.

[0130] Optionally, in one implementation, on the side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, the corresponding definitions of 4 of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are power positive electrode VCC, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, and data negative electrode D-; and on the side of the reversible camera 193, the definitions of the 7 Pogo pin connectors also include power positive electrode VCC, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, and data negative electrode D-, and the definitions of the 7 Pogo pin connectors are symmetrically distributed. In addition, the order of the definitions of the 4 Pogo pin interfaces is the same as the order of the definitions of the 4 non-repeated Pogo pin connectors among the 7 Pogo pin connectors.

[0131] Exemplarily, on one side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, the Pogo pin interface at the middle position of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 3 Pogo pin interfaces on the adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions, or, the Pogo pin interface at the middle position of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 3 Pogo pin interfaces on the other adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions, and the specific definition order can be set as needed.

[0132] Exemplarily, on one side of the switchable camera 193, the definition of the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors can be any one of the positive power pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the positive data pole D+, and the negative data pole D-. The definitions of the other 6 Pogo pin connectors are different from those of the Pogo pin connector at the middle position and are symmetrically distributed. The specific definition order can be set as needed.

[0133] The definition order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors is illustrated in Table 1 below.

[0134]

[0135] Table 1

[0136] It should be understood that the definition order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors may include other orders besides the 4 methods included in Table 1 above, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any limitation on this.

[0137] Example 1

[0138] Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0139] In one embodiment, on one side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, 7 Pogo pin interfaces are arranged along the first sorting direction, and the definitions corresponding to the first 4 Pogo pin interfaces are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, and the power positive electrode VCC, which are used to align and connect with the Pogo pin connectors of the same definition, and the other end of each Pogo pin interface is connected to the CPU in the body 101; wherein, the Pogo pin interface defined as the power positive electrode VCC is the 4th Pogo pin interface, which is located in the middle position; the other ends of the remaining 3 Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU in the body 101, and are not defined. For example, the first sorting direction is the direction from the 1st Pogo pin interface to the 7th Pogo pin interface.

[0140] When the switchable camera 193 is in the forward mode, on one side of the switchable camera 193, taking the first group of definitions in Table 1 as an example, the definitions corresponding to the 7 Pogo pin connectors along the first sorting direction are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, the power positive electrode VCC, the data negative electrode D-, the data positive electrode D+, and the ground terminal GND, and the other end of each Pogo pin connector is respectively connected to the ISP in the switchable camera 193. Among them, the ground terminal GND may not be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0141] It should be understood that when multiple Pogo pin connectors of the same definition are connected to the ports on the ISP, they can be connected in parallel to the same point and then connected to the ports on the ISP.

[0142] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is connected to the body 101 through the 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as Figure 8 A1 to A7 shown in (a) and 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 After aligning and connecting B1 to B7 shown in (a) one by one, it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interface (such as Figure 8 A1 to A4) shown in (a) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 B1 to B4 shown in (a) are aligned and connected one by one, which can form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and can form a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body 101 to the reversible camera 193; However, the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as Figure 8 A5 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 After B5 to B7 shown in (a) are aligned and connected one by one, since the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors are actually equivalent to not realizing any functions.

[0143] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, after the order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors is reversed, along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the 7 Pogo pin connectors are still respectively the ground terminal GND, the positive data pole D+, the negative data pole D-, the positive power pole VCC, the negative data pole D-, the positive data pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0144] Thus, when the reversible camera 193 in the reverse mode is connected to the body 101 through the seven Pogopin interfaces (such as Figure 8 A1 to A7 shown in (b) and 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 After the B7 to B1 shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one, it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interface (such as Figure 8 A1 to A4) shown in (b) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 B7 to B4 shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one to form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body 101 to the reversible camera 193; However, the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as Figure 8 A5 to A7 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as Figure 8 After B3 to B1) shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one, since the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors are actually equivalent to not realizing any functions.

[0145] It should be noted that Figure 8The position correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) is the first correspondence. Figure 8 The positional correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (b) is the second correspondence.

[0146] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors is at least 7, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on one side of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the definition of the Pogo pin connector on one side of the switchable camera 193, the switchable camera 193 can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors with the same functions on the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 can be aligned and connected, so that the switchable camera 193 can switch between the front and rear directions on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 for shooting, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0147] Optionally, in another implementation, on one side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, the definitions of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces include the positive power pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the positive data pole D+, and the negative data pole D-, and the definitions of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are symmetrically distributed. On the side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, the definitions corresponding to 4 of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces also include the positive power pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the positive data pole D+, and the negative data pole D-. In addition, the order of the definitions of the 4 Pogo pin connectors is the same as the order of the definitions of the 4 Pogo pin interfaces with non-repeating functions among the 7 Pogo pin interfaces.

[0148] Exemplarily, on one side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, the definition of the Pogo pin interface at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin interfaces can be any one of the positive power pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the positive data pole D+, and the negative data pole D-, and the definitions of the other 6 Pogo pin connectors are different from the definition of the Pogo pin connector at the middle position and are symmetrically distributed.

[0149] Exemplarily, on one side of the switchable camera 193, the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors and the 3 Pogo pin connectors on the adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions, or, the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors and the 3 Pogo pin connectors on the other adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions.

[0150] Example 2

[0151] Fig. 9 A schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0152] In one embodiment, on one side of the main body of the electronic device 100, 7 Pogo pin interfaces are arranged along a first sorting direction, and the corresponding definitions of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are respectively ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, data negative electrode D-, data positive electrode D+, and ground terminal GND, which are used to align one-to-one with Pogo pin connectors of the same definition, and the other end of each Pogo pin interface is respectively connected to the CPU in the main body.

[0153] It should be understood that when multiple Pogo pin connectors of the same definition are connected to ports on the CPU, they can be connected in parallel to the same point and then connected to the ports on the CPU.

[0154] For example, the first sorting direction is from the 1st Pogo pin interface to the 7th Pogo pin interface.

[0155] When the reversible camera 193 is in the forward mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, taking the first group of definitions in Table 1 as an example, the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are arranged along the first sorting direction, and the definitions corresponding to the first 4 Pogo pin connectors are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, and the power positive electrode VCC, and the other end of each Pogo pin connector is connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193. Among them, the Pogo pin interface defined as the power positive electrode VCC is the 4th Pogo pin interface, which is located in the middle position; the other ends of the remaining 3 Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193, and are not defined. Among them, the ground terminal GND may not be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0156] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is connected to the body 101 through the 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as Fig. 9 A1 to A7 shown in (a) and 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig. 9 After aligning and connecting B1 to B7 shown in (a) one by one, it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interface (such as Fig. 9 A1 to A4) shown in (a) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig. 9B1 to B4 shown in (a) are aligned and connected one by one, which can form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and can form a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body to the reversible camera 193; However, the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as Fig. 9 A5 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig. 9 After B5 to B7 shown in (a) are aligned and connected one by one, since the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors are not connected to the ISP and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors are actually equivalent to not realizing any functions.

[0157] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors is reversed, and along the first sorting direction, the first 3 of the 7 Pogo pin connectors are undefined, and the last 4 are defined as the power positive electrode VCC, the data negative electrode D-, the data positive electrode D+, and the ground terminal GND. In this way, when the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode is connected to the body through the 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as Fig. 9 A1 to A7 shown in (b) and 7 Pogopin connectors (such as Fig. 9 After the B7 to B1 shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one, it is equivalent to the 4th to 7th Pogo pin interface (such as Fig. 9 A4 to A7 shown in (b) of the figure) and the 4th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig. 9 B4 to B7 shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one to form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body; and a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the main body to the reversible camera 193; However, the first to third Pogo pin interfaces (such as Fig. 9 A1 to A3) shown in (b) and the 1st to 3rd Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig. 9 After B7 to B5) shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one, since the 1st to 3rd Pogo pin connectors are not connected to the ISP and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors are actually equivalent to not realizing any functions.

[0158] It should be noted that Fig. 9 The position correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) is the first correspondence.

[0166] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is 5, the positions of the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are arranged in the same manner and are at least in an X shape (e.g. Fig.16 (e) in the figure), M-shaped (such as Fig.16 (f) in the figure), straight line (as shown in Fig.16 In the embodiment of the present application, when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are arranged in a straight line, the thickness of the body of the electronic device 100 and the switchable camera 193 can be designed to be thinner.

[0167] For example, Fig.16 Taking (e), (f) and (g) in FIG. 1 as an example, the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other, or in other words, the first direction and the second direction differ by 180°.

[0168] For example, Fig.16 Taking (e) and (f) in the figure as an example, the first direction and the second direction may differ by 90°, 180°, or 270°. At this time, a fourth switching circuit may be added to the body side of the electronic device 100 or the switchable camera 193 side, which is used to switch the function of the connector in the non-central position of the first group of connectors or the second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship.

[0229] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the four Pogo pin connectors is reversed, and along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the four Pogo pin connectors are respectively the data negative pole D-, the power positive pole VCC, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0230] When the reversible camera 193 in the reverse mode is connected to the body 101 through the four Pogo pin interfaces (such as Fig.15 A1 to A4) and 4 Pogo pin connectors (such as Fig.15 After B4 to B1) shown in (b) are aligned and connected one by one, a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the body 101 to the reversible camera 193. In this reverse mode, the second switching circuit can conduct the Pogo pin interface defined as the data negative electrode D- (such as Fig.15 A4 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 is connected to the first port of the CPU corresponding to the ground terminal GND, and the Pogo pin interface of the positive power supply VCC is turned on (such as Fig.15 A3 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 is connected to the second port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the CPU, and can also conduct the Pogo pin interface defined as the data positive electrode D+ (such as Fig.15 A2 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 is connected to the third port on the CPU corresponding to the positive power supply VCC, and can conduct the Pogo pin interface defined as the ground terminal GND (such as Fig.15 A1) shown in (a) of FIG. 1 is connected to the fourth port on the CPU corresponding to the negative data electrode D-. Thus, the four Pogo pin interfaces originally defined are reused, but the functions are exchanged in reverse order.

[0231] In an embodiment of the present application, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device, the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the switchable camera side, and adding a second switching circuit between the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device and the CPU, the switchable camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the four interfaces defined on the switchable camera side can be reused after exchanging functions, so that the main body and the switchable camera in the forward mode or reverse mode can be aligned and connected with the Pogo pin interface and the Pogo pin connector with the same actual functions, thereby enabling the switchable camera to switch between the front and rear directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0232] Based on the above examples, in implementation method 1, this method has a large number of pins, requires a large space in hardware, and has a relatively high cost. In addition, due to the large number of pins, the snap-on rebound force and the required magnetic attraction force are also greater, but no additional devices are required; in implementation methods 2 and 3, as the number of pins decreases, the cost decreases, and the required magnetic attraction force can be reduced, but a data selector needs to be added, that is, the first switching circuit or the second switching circuit mentioned above, and the devices are relatively more. Each implementation method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected and set as needed, and this application does not limit this.

[0233] in addition, Fig.17 A schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0234] The electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a semi-separated body 101 and a switchable camera 193. The upper frame of the body 101 may be provided with a groove, and the switchable camera 193 is arranged in the groove and connected to the left and right groove walls by a rotation axis. Fig.17 (a) and Fig.17 As shown in (b) in the figure, by rotating around the rotation axis, the reversible camera 193 can switch between the forward direction and the reverse direction.

[0235] With the rotation axis as the axis of symmetry, two groups of second connecting parts are further provided on the reversible camera 193. The two groups of second connecting parts include the same number of Pogo pin connectors, and the definitions of the Pogo pin connectors at the upper and lower symmetrical positions are the same.

[0236] Optionally, the number of the two second groups of connecting members may both be 7, 5 or 4. Fig.17 Only 7 connecting parts are taken as an example for illustration.

[0237] When the processor in the body 101 of the electronic device and the Pogo pin connector perform data and power transmission according to the USB2.0 protocol, the two groups of second group connectors both include connectors defined as the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, and the power positive electrode VCC.

[0238] In the embodiment of the present application, on the premise of only the number of camera configurations, by adding a rotating axis and a connecting piece for the switchable camera, the first group of connecting pieces on the main body of the electronic device can be aligned and connected with the second group of connecting pieces of a different group on the switchable camera, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera and meeting more shooting needs.

[0239] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more.

For example, A and / or B can represent the existence of A alone, the existence of A and B at the same time, and the existence of B alone. Among them, A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" and similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b and c can be represented by: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a and b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.
