[0046] The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, rather than to limit the present application.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art know that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0048] In the description, claims and the above-mentioned drawings of this application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, which is only a way of distinguishing objects with the same attributes when describing the embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, system, product or device including a series of units does not have to be limited to those units, but may include other units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0049] This application discloses an electronic device, the structural schematic diagram of which is as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0050] A first body 11, a rotating shaft 12, a second body 13 and a sound pickup device 14.

[0051] The first body 11 can move relative to the second body 13 through the rotating shaft 12 so that the electronic device is in different postures. The postures of the electronic device at least include: a closed state and an open state;

[0052] The sound pickup device 14 is arranged on the first body 11, and the sound pickup device 14 is a sound pickup device for directionally picking up audio at a target sound pickup angle.

[0053] Wherein, when the electronic device is in the closed state, the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device 14 corresponds to the first direction, and when the electronic device is in the open state, the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device 14 corresponds to the second direction, and the first direction is different from the second direction; during the process of the change of the posture of the electronic device, the movement direction of the first body is different from the change direction of the target sound pickup angle.

[0054] The electronic device can be in different postures, such as: open state, closed state, etc. If the electronic device can receive voice commands, in order to reduce the influence of noise and improve the recognition accuracy of voice commands, it is usually set to receive voice data only within a fixed range of the screen, which results in the situation that when the user is not within the fixed range, the electronic device cannot receive the voice commands output by the user.

[0055] Based on this, in this solution, a sound pickup device is provided on the first body of the electronic device. The sound pickup device is a sound pickup device that directionally picks up audio at a target sound pickup angle. The first body can move relative to the second body through a rotating shaft so that the electronic device is in different postures. The postures of the electronic device at least include: a closed state and an open state. When the electronic device is in different postures, the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device is different; and, during the process of the change of the posture of the electronic device, the moving direction of the first body is different from the changing direction of the target sound pickup angle, thereby avoiding the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle being blocked as the first body and the second body are closed, and improving the audio pickup rate of the electronic device in different postures.

[0056] The electronic device can be: a laptop computer, or can also be: a foldable mobile phone, or other electronic devices including at least two postures such as a closed state and an open state.

[0057] The electronic device includes a first body and a second body. The first body can move relative to the second body through a rotating shaft so that the electronic device is in different postures. The postures of the electronic device at least include: a closed state and an open state.

[0058] Among them, the closed state is the state where the first body and the second body are completely closed, and the open state can be: the state where the first body is opened relative to the second body to a certain specific angle, or as long as the first body and the second body are not completely closed, it can be determined that it is in the open state.

[0059] As Figure 2 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the first body and the second body in the closed state, including: the first body 11, the rotating shaft 12, the second body 13, and the sound pickup device 14; Figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the first body and the second body in the open state.

[0060] Among them, since the sound pickup device is a sound pickup device that directionally picks up audio at a target sound pickup angle, then, the sound pickup device can only pick up audio within a specific range, and this specific range is the target sound pickup angle, and the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle can be: the direction corresponding to the angular bisector of the target sound pickup angle.

[0061] When the electronic device is in the open state, if the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device corresponds to the second direction, then as Figure 3a shown, it includes: the first body 11, the rotating shaft 12, the second body 13, the sound pickup device 14, the target sound pickup angle 15 of the sound pickup device 14, and the second direction 16 corresponding to the target sound pickup angle 15.

[0062] When the electronic device is in the closed state, if the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device corresponds to the first direction, then as Figure 3bAs shown in the figure, it includes: a first body 11, a rotating shaft 12, a second body 13, a sound pickup device 14, a target sound pickup angle 15 of the sound pickup device 14, and a second direction 16 corresponding to the target sound pickup angle 15.

[0063] Under normal circumstances, the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device of an electronic device does not change, and it always matches the second direction in Figure 3a The difference is only in the size of the target sound pickup angle. However, this will result in the inability to pick up sound when the electronic device is in the closed state. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the electronic device is in the closed state, the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device is different from the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle when the electronic device is in the open state. This ensures that when the electronic device is in the closed state, it can still pick up audio to avoid problems such as failure to obtain and execute instructions due to the inability to pick up audio when the electronic device is in the closed state.

[0064] In addition, in this embodiment, during the attitude change process of the electronic device, the movement direction of the first body is different from the change direction of the target sound pickup angle.

[0065] If during the attitude change process of the electronic device, the direction of the target sound pickup angle is always the same as the movement direction of the first body relative to the first body (i.e., the change direction of the target sound pickup angle is the same as the movement direction of the first body), then when the electronic device changes from the open state to the closed state, the movement direction of the first body is towards the second body. If the direction of the target sound pickup angle is the same as the movement direction of the first body relative to the first body (i.e., the change direction of the target sound pickup angle is the same as the movement direction of the first body), then at this time, the direction of the target sound pickup angle is also towards the second body. And when the electronic device is in the closed state, the target sound pickup angle is blocked and audio cannot be picked up.

[0066] In this embodiment, the movement direction of the first body is different from the change direction of the target sound pickup angle. Then, when the electronic device changes from the open state to the closed state, the movement direction of the first body is towards the second body. And because the movement direction of the first body is different from the change direction of the target sound pickup angle, at this time, the change direction of the target sound pickup angle is surely not towards the body. As long as the change direction of the target sound pickup angle does not point to the body when in the closed state, the direction of the target sound pickup angle will not be blocked and audio can be picked up.

[0067] Among them, at the moment when the first body moves, the movement direction of the first body can be: the same as the second direction 16 in Figure 3a , that is, at the moment when the first body moves, the movement direction of the first body is the same as the second direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle. As the first body moves, the two directions are no longer the same.

[0068] The electronic device disclosed in this embodiment includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, and a sound pickup device. The first body can move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft so that the electronic device is in different postures. The postures of the electronic device at least include a closed state and an open state. The sound pickup device is a sound pickup device that directionally picks up audio at a target sound pickup angle and is disposed on the first body. When the electronic device is in different postures, the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle is different. During the process of the change of the posture of the electronic device, the moving direction of the first body is different from the changing direction of the target sound pickup angle. In this solution, as the posture of the electronic device changes, the direction of the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device also changes accordingly. Moreover, the changing direction of the target sound pickup angle is opposite to the moving direction of the first body. This ensures that when the electronic device switches from the open state to the closed state, the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle will not be blocked as the first body and the second body are closed, thereby improving the audio pickup rate of the electronic device in different postures.

[0069] This embodiment discloses an electronic device, and its structural schematic diagram is as Figure 4 shown, including:

[0070] A first body 41, a rotating shaft 42, a second body 43, a sound pickup device 44, and an adjusting component 45.

[0071] In addition to the same structure as the previous embodiment, this embodiment further adds an adjusting component 45.

[0072] Among them, the adjusting component 45 is disposed between the first body 41 and the sound pickup device 44 and is used to, when the moving direction of the first body is determined, reversely adjust the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device based on the moving direction of the first body.

[0073] The adjusting component is disposed between the first body and the sound pickup device. When it is necessary to change the direction of the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device, it needs to be realized based on the adjusting component, that is, the direction of the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device is changed by changing the adjusting component.

[0074] Among them, the adjusting component can only adjust the direction of the target sound pickup angle without changing the direction of the sound pickup device; or, the adjusting component adjusts the direction of the sound pickup device, and as the direction of the sound pickup device changes, the direction of the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device also changes accordingly.

[0075] In addition, when the first body moves relative to the second body, that is, when the posture of the electronic device changes, the movement direction of the first body is determined. Then, based on the movement direction of the first body, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device is adjusted in the opposite direction, that is, the change trend of the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle is opposite to the change trend of the movement direction of the first body. It should be noted that the opposite change trend is different from the opposite direction.

[0076] For example, when the electronic device changes from the open state to the closed state, the change trend of the movement direction of the first body is from the direction of the line perpendicular to the first body in the open state to the direction pointing to the second body. The change trend of the movement direction of the first body is an arc. Since the change trends are opposite, at this time, the adjusting component adjusts the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle in the opposite direction, that is, determines a change trend opposite to this change trend, and this opposite change trend is the change trend of the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle.

[0077] A schematic diagram of the corresponding relationship between the change trend of the movement direction of the first body and the change trend of the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle can be as Figure 5 shown ( Figure 5 only an example of the corresponding relationship between the two change trends, and the corresponding relationship between the two change trends can also be in other forms), Figure 5 which includes: the first body 51, the second body 52, the dashed line 53 is the movement direction of the first body 51 when the electronic device is in the first open state, the dashed line 54 is the movement direction of the first body 51 when the electronic device is in the second open state, the arc 55 is the change trend of the movement direction of the first body, and the arc 56 is the change trend of the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle.

[0078] Correspondingly, during the process of the electronic device changing from the closed state to the open state, the change trend of the movement direction of the first body and the change trend corresponding to the target pickup angle are also opposite.

[0079] Using the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the closed state is different from the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the open state. Specifically, it can be as Figure 3a and 3b shown; specifically, the difference between the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the closed state and the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the open state is within the target range, and the target range can be: 160 - 200 degrees, or 170 - 190 degrees, etc.

[0080] For example Figure 6As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the difference between the target pickup angles when the pickup device is in the open state and the closed state, including: the direction 61 corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the open state, and the direction 62 corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the closed state (since the postures of the electronic device are different, it is not easy to compare the directions corresponding to the target pickup angles relative to the first body. Therefore, in Figure 6 it, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the closed state is translated to the first body when the electronic device is in the open state to facilitate comparing the difference between the two directions). Among them, the difference between the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the open state and the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the closed state is close to 180 degrees.

[0081] In addition, when the change trend of the movement direction of the first body is opposite to the change trend of the direction of the target pickup angle, it can be ensured that no matter which position the first body moves to, the target pickup angle in the current posture can at least partially overlap with the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the open state. This at least partially overlapping part is the position where users appear more frequently, so as to improve the pickup rate of the audio output by users.

[0082] The electronic device disclosed in this embodiment includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, a pickup device and an adjusting component. The adjusting component is arranged between the first body and the pickup device and is used to, when determining the movement direction of the first body, reversely adjust the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device based on the movement direction of the first body, so that the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the open state and the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle when the electronic device is in the closed state can have a smaller difference, so as to pick up audio when the electronic device is in the closed state and improve the audio pickup rate.

[0083] Furthermore, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment may further include:

[0084] a processor, configured to determine the mode in which the electronic device is currently located. If it is determined that the electronic device is currently in the first mode, when determining the posture change of the electronic device, control the direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body to change based on the movement direction of the first body; if it is determined that the electronic device is currently in the second mode, when determining the posture change of the electronic device, do not adjust the direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body.

[0085] When the electronic device is in the open state, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device is the second direction. When the electronic device is in the closed state, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device is the first direction. The first direction is different from the second direction. Moreover, during the attitude change process of the electronic device, the movement direction of the first body is different from the change direction of the target pickup angle. Then, in this embodiment, whether it is the first direction or the second direction, it can be defined as the direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body. At this time, it can be ensured that the pickup device can pick up audio whether the electronic device is in the open state or the closed state.

[0086] However, in all scenarios, it is not necessary to ensure that the electronic device can still pick up audio when it is in the closed state. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first mode and a second mode are set for the electronic device.

[0087] The first mode means that when the user or the electronic device has a need to pick up audio when the electronic device is in the closed state, at this time, the electronic device can be set to the first mode. In the first mode, if it is determined that the attitude of the electronic device changes, that is, the first body of the electronic device moves relative to the second body, then the direction of the target pickup angle is adjusted based on the movement direction of the first body, so that the direction of the target pickup angle changes, that is, the first direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the closed state is different from the second direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body when the electronic device is in the open state.

[0088] The second mode means that when the user or the electronic device has no need to pick up audio when the electronic device is in the closed state, at this time, the electronic device can be set to the second mode. In the second mode, regardless of whether the attitude of the electronic device changes, it is not necessary to adjust the direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body, that is, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle always matches the direction corresponding to the first body. That is, if the movement direction of the first body is pointing to the second body, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle also points to the second body; if the movement direction of the first body is away from the second body, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle also points away from the second body, etc., so that the electronic device can meet different usage requirements of the user.

[0089] This embodiment discloses an electronic device, and its structural schematic diagram is as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0090] A first body 11, a rotating shaft 12, a second body 13 and a pickup device 14. In addition, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment may further include: a driving device and a processor (the driving device and the processor are not shown in the figure).

[0091] In addition to the same structure as the previous embodiment, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment adds a driving device and a processor.

[0092] Among them, the driving device is used to drive the first body to move relative to the second body;

[0093] The processor is configured to output a first control signal corresponding to the target audio when the audio picked up by the sound pickup device is the target audio, so that the driving device drives the first body to move relative to the second body based on the first control signal, enabling the posture of the electronic device to change based on the target audio.

[0094] The driving device is connected to the rotating shaft and can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. Since the first body moves relative to the second body through the rotating shaft, then, as the rotating shaft rotates, the movement of the first body relative to the second body can be achieved.

[0095] Whether the driving device can drive the rotating shaft depends on the control of the processor. When the processor outputs the first control signal, the driving device can drive the rotating shaft based on this first control signal. When the driving device fails to receive the first control signal output by the processor, it cannot perform the driving of the rotating shaft. However, at this time, the rotating shaft can be directly manually operated by the user without passing through the driving device to achieve the movement of the first body relative to the second body.

[0096] Among them, the first control signal can be: when the sound pickup device picks up audio, when the processor determines that the audio picked up by the sound pickup device is the target audio, it determines the first control signal corresponding to the target audio and outputs the first control signal to control the driving device to act.

[0097] When the sound pickup device can pick up audio, the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the sound pickup device corresponds to the audio output position, that is, the audio output position is within the current target pickup angle range of the sound pickup device. Then, the sound pickup device can pick up the audio output at this audio output position.

[0098] Among them, the target audio can be: the audio for controlling the posture of the electronic device. After the electronic device receives the target audio, the processor responds to the target audio and controls the driving device so that the first body moves relative to the second body through the rotating shaft.

[0099] For example, if the target audio is: "Closing the lid", at this time, the driving device is controlled to make the first body move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft, so as to achieve the purpose that the electronic device is in a closed state; Another example: if the target audio is: "Opening to 120 degrees", at this time, the driving device is controlled to make the first body move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft, so as to achieve the purpose that the electronic device is in an open state and the included angle between the first body and the second body is 120 degrees; Another example: if the target audio is: "Flipping 180 degrees", at this time, the driving device is controlled to make the first body move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft, so as to achieve the purpose that the first body of the electronic device flips 180 degrees relative to the second body.

[0100] Further, the processor outputs the first control signal based on the target audio, which can be specifically: the processor analyzes the target audio to determine the adjustment action specified by the target audio, and determines the first control signal based on the specified adjustment action. For example, if the target audio is "Opening from the closed state to 120 degrees", then by analyzing the target audio, the action that the first body needs to perform relative to the second body can be determined, thereby determining the first control signal.

[0101] Or, the processor outputs the first control signal based on the target audio, and it can also be: determining the target posture of the electronic device to be adjusted specified by the target audio, generating the first control signal based on the corresponding relationship between the current posture and the target posture of the electronic device, and outputting the first control signal to the driving device.

[0102] If only the target posture to be adjusted is specified in the target audio and it does not indicate which posture it is currently in, then the processor needs to further determine the current posture of the electronic device. After determining the current posture and the target posture, determine the corresponding relationship between the current posture and the target posture, and based on this corresponding relationship, determine what actions the first body needs to perform to adjust from its current posture to the target posture.

[0103] For example, if the target audio is "Flipping 180 degrees and making the included angle between the first body and the second body 80 degrees", based on the analysis of the target audio, the target posture can be determined as: after the first body flips 180 degrees, it still needs to form an 80-degree angle with the second body. Then, only by determining the current angle formed by the first body and the second body can it be determined how many degrees need to be opened or closed after the flipping is completed. Therefore, the corresponding relationship between the current posture and the target posture needs to be determined. If it is determined that the first body and the second body currently form a 120-degree angle, then after flipping 180 degrees, the first body and the second body are still at 120 degrees. To achieve an 80-degree angle between the first body and the second body, the first body needs to perform a closing action from the open state to the closed state, but at this time, it does not need to reach the closed state, but only needs to close 40 degrees to achieve the purpose of an 80-degree angle between the first body and the second body.

[0104] It should be noted that to enable the first body to "open to 120 degrees" and "flip 180 degrees" relative to the second body, it is necessary to ensure that the rotating shaft can at least achieve two-directional movement that satisfies the perpendicular condition during movement, namely the third direction and the fourth direction, where the third direction and the fourth direction satisfy the perpendicular condition.

[0105] Specifically, the rotating shaft includes: a first rotating shaft structure and a second rotating shaft structure. Among them, the first rotating shaft structure enables the first body to act in the third direction relative to the second body, and the second rotating shaft structure enables the first body to act in the fourth direction relative to the second body. The third direction and the fourth direction satisfy the perpendicular condition. Among them, when the posture of the electronic device switches from the open state to the closed state, the first body acts in the third direction relative to the second body.

[0106] Among them, the third direction is the direction that can switch the electronic device from the open state to the closed state, that is, when the first body acts in the third direction, it can realize the electronic device switching from the open state to the closed state. Here, the third direction is on the plane perpendicular to both the plane where the first body is located and the plane where the second body is located, and this plane is determined as the target plane. As Figure 7 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the target plane, including: the first body 71 ( Figure 7 Two first bodies 71 are shown in it, which are the different positions where the first body 71 is located when the electronic device is in different open states), the second body 72 and the target plane 73. Among them, the electronic device composed of the first body and the second body is Figure 7 shown as a side view in it, and the plane corresponding to its side view is the target plane. When the electronic device switches from the closed state to the open state, or from the open state to the closed state, the movement direction of the first body is always on this target plane. Therefore, the first body acting in the third direction relative to the second body mentioned in this embodiment is actually the first body acting on this target plane relative to the second body.

[0107] And the fourth direction is the direction perpendicular to this third direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the target plane, that is, when the first body acts in the direction perpendicular to the target plane, it can realize the left-right rotation of the first body of the electronic device relative to the second body. As Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 it is a schematic diagram of the left-right rotation of the first body relative to the second body, including: the first body 81, the second body 82. Among them, Figure 8 the left part in it is a schematic diagram before the first body rotates relative to the second body, Figure 8 and the right part in it is a schematic diagram after the first body rotates relative to the second body.

[0108] Among them, the rotating shaft needs to include a first rotating shaft structure and a second rotating shaft structure, so as to realize the movement of the first body relative to the second body in the third direction through the first rotating shaft structure, and realize the movement of the first body relative to the second body in the fourth direction through the second rotating shaft structure, so as to ensure that no matter in which direction the audio output position is located on the electronic device, it can be ensured that whether through the adjustment of the target pickup angle or through the rotation of the first body, the pickup of the audio output at the audio output position can be achieved.

[0109] The electronic device disclosed in this embodiment includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, a pickup device, a driving device and a processor. The first body moves relative to the second body through the rotating shaft, and the driving device can drive the rotating shaft to make the first body move relative to the second body. In addition, when the audio picked up by the pickup device is the target audio, the processor can output a first control signal corresponding to the target audio, so that the driving device can drive the rotating shaft to rotate based on the first control signal, so that the first body moves relative to the second body, thereby realizing the change of the posture of the electronic device based on the target audio. This solution can output a first control signal when the pickup device picks up the target audio to realize the movement of the first body based on the target audio, without manual operation by the user, improving the user experience.

[0110] This embodiment discloses an electronic device, and its structural schematic diagram is as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0111] A first body 11, a rotating shaft 12, a second body 13 and a pickup device 14. In addition, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment may further include: an information acquisition device and a processor (the information acquisition device and the processor are not shown in the figure).

[0112] Except for the same structure as the previous embodiment, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment adds an information acquisition device and a processor.

[0113] Among them, the information acquisition device is used to determine the position where the target object is located;

[0114] When the processor determines that the direction corresponding to the position where the target object is located does not match the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle, the processor outputs a second control signal corresponding to the position where the target object is located, so as to control the movement of the first body relative to the second body based on the second control signal, and / or control the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device, so that the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle of the pickup device matches the position where the target object is located.

[0115] The information acquisition device is a structure in the electronic device used to determine the position where the target object is located, and it can be a device that can clearly determine the position where the target object is located, such as: a positioning device, or an image acquisition device, etc.;

[0116] It can also be a device capable of estimating the location of the target object. For example, a storage structure stores the locations of the target object at different time periods, and then estimates the location of the target object in the current time period based on the stored locations of the target object at different time periods; or, the storage structure stores the locations of the target object when different applications in the electronic device are in the running state, and then estimates the location of the target object in the current running state of the electronic device based on the stored locations of the target object when different applications in the electronic device are in the running state.

[0117] After determining the location of the target object, the processor needs to determine whether the location of the target object matches the direction corresponding to the current target pickup angle, and determine whether the range of the current target pickup angle of the pickup device includes the location of the target object. If it includes, there is no need to adjust the direction corresponding to the target pickup angle. If it does not include, it is necessary to adjust the direction of the target pickup angle of the pickup device relative to the direction corresponding to the first body, or adjust the direction or position of the first body relative to the second body, so that the range of the adjusted target pickup angle can include the location of the target object.

[0118] Therefore, when it is determined that the range of the current target pickup angle of the pickup device does not include the location of the target object, the processor needs to generate a second control signal based on the location of the target object, so as to control the movement of the first body relative to the second body based on the second control signal, or control the direction of the target pickup angle of the pickup device relative to the first body based on the second control signal.

[0119] If the second control signal controls the direction of the target pickup angle relative to the first body, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment may further include an adjustment component, and the adjustment component is used to obtain the second control signal output by the processor and adjust the direction of the target pickup angle of the pickup device based on the second control signal, so that its direction relative to the first body changes;

[0120] If the second control signal controls the movement of the first body relative to the second body, the electronic device disclosed in this embodiment may further include a driving device, and the driving device is used to obtain the second control signal output by the processor and control the rotating shaft based on the obtained second control signal, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the movement of the first body relative to the second body.

[0121] Among them, the driving device controls the rotating shaft based on the second control signal to achieve the control of the movement of the first body relative to the second body. It can control the first body to move relative to the second body along the third direction, or control the first body to move relative to the second body along the fourth direction. The third direction and the fourth direction meet the perpendicular condition. When the posture of the electronic device switches from the open state to the closed state, the first body moves relative to the second body along the third direction. Based on this, the rotating shaft needs to include a first rotating shaft structure and a second rotating shaft structure. The first rotating shaft structure can enable the first body to move relative to the second body along the third direction, and the second rotating shaft structure can enable the first body to move relative to the second body along the fourth direction.

[0122] Among them, the schematic diagram of the first body moving relative to the second body along the third direction can be as Figure 7 shown, and the schematic diagram of the first body moving relative to the second body along the fourth direction can be as Figure 8 shown, which will not be elaborated here.

[0123] The electronic device disclosed in this embodiment includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, a sound pickup device, an information acquisition device, and a processor. The first body can move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft. The information acquisition device determines the position where the target object is located. When the processor determines that the position where the target object is located does not match the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device, it outputs a second control signal to control the first body to move relative to the second body, and / or control the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle, so that the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle matches the direction where the target object is located, thereby ensuring that whether it is through adjusting the first body relative to the second body or adjusting the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle, the audio output by the target object can be picked up, avoiding missing the information or instructions output by the target object.

[0124] This embodiment discloses a method for adjusting the sound pickup angle, and its flowchart is as Figure 9 shown, including:

[0125] Step S91: Determine the movement direction of the first body in the electronic device. The electronic device at least includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, and a sound pickup device. The first body can move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft to enable the electronic device to be in different postures;

[0126] Step S92: Reverse-adjust the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device based on the movement direction of the first body; among them, the sound pickup device is arranged on the first body and is a sound pickup device for directionally picking up the audio of the target sound pickup angle. When the posture of the electronic device is in the closed state, the target sound pickup angle corresponds to the first direction, and when the posture of the electronic device is in the open state, the target sound pickup angle corresponds to the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are different.

[0127] Furthermore, the method for adjusting the sound pickup angle disclosed in this embodiment may further include:

[0128] Determine the current mode of the electronic device;

[0129] If it is determined that the electronic device is currently in the first mode, when it is determined that the attitude of the electronic device changes, based on the movement direction of the first body, reversely adjust the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device;

[0130] If it is determined that the electronic device is currently in the second mode, when it is determined that the attitude of the electronic device changes, do not adjust the direction of the target sound pickup angle.

[0131] Furthermore, the method for adjusting the sound pickup angle disclosed in this embodiment may further include:

[0132] When it is determined that the audio picked up by the sound pickup device is the target audio, output a first control signal corresponding to the target audio, so that the driving device drives the first body to move relative to the second body based on the first control signal, and the attitude of the electronic device can change based on the target audio.

[0133] Furthermore, outputting the first control signal corresponding to the target audio includes:

[0134] Determine the target attitude to be adjusted of the electronic device specified by the target audio, generate a first control signal based on the corresponding relationship between the current attitude and the target attitude of the electronic device, and output the first control signal to the driving device.

[0135] Furthermore, the method for adjusting the sound pickup angle disclosed in this embodiment may further include:

[0136] When it is determined that the position of the target object does not match the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle, output a second control signal corresponding to the position of the target object, so as to control the first body to move relative to the second body based on the second control signal, and / or control the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device, so that the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device matches the position of the target object.

[0137] Furthermore, the first body can move relative to the second body through a rotating shaft, including:

[0138] By adjusting the first rotating shaft structure of the rotating shaft, the first body is enabled to move relative to the second body along the third direction;

[0139] By adjusting the second rotating shaft structure of the rotating shaft, the first body is enabled to move relative to the second body along the fourth direction;

[0140] Wherein, the third direction and the fourth direction satisfy the perpendicular condition. When the posture of the electronic device is switched from the open state to the closed state, the first body moves relative to the second body along the third direction.

[0141] The sound pickup angle adjustment method disclosed in this embodiment is implemented based on the electronic device disclosed in the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0142] The sound pickup angle adjustment method disclosed in this embodiment determines the movement direction of the first body in the electronic device. The electronic device at least includes: a first body, a rotating shaft, a second body, and a sound pickup device. The first body can move relative to the second body through the rotating shaft so that the electronic device is in different postures; the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device is adjusted in the reverse direction based on the movement direction of the first body; wherein, the sound pickup device is arranged on the first body and is a sound pickup device for directionally picking up the audio of the target sound pickup angle. When the posture of the electronic device is in the closed state, the target sound pickup angle corresponds to the first direction, and when the posture of the electronic device is in the open state, the target sound pickup angle corresponds to the second direction, and the first direction is different from the second direction. In this solution, as the posture of the electronic device changes, the direction of the target sound pickup angle of the sound pickup device also changes accordingly, and moreover, the change direction of the target sound pickup angle is opposite to the movement direction of the first body, which ensures that when the electronic device is switched from the open state to the closed state, the direction corresponding to the target sound pickup angle will not be blocked as the first body and the second body are closed, thereby improving the audio pickup rate of the electronic device in different postures.
