[0002] With the continuous development of electronic technology, laptop computers are popular with people due to their small size and portability, and have been widely used in people's daily lives. Laptop computers are usually equipped with cameras as auxiliary tools for communication methods such as video chat.
[0003] Existing laptops usually have a camera installed above the screen to shoot the user in front of the screen. However, the current camera cannot move when shooting and can only shoot the user in front of the screen. When it is necessary to shoot the scene behind the screen in scenes such as interviews, an additional camera must be used to shoot, which leads to poor user experience. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present application provides an electronic device, a peripheral device, a terminal system and a state detection method to solve the problem that the existing camera can only take pictures of the user in front of the screen but cannot take pictures of the image behind the screen.

The first body comprises a first frame and a display screen, the first frame surrounds the outer edge of the display screen, and the extension direction of the first frame is different from the extension direction of the display screen. The electrical connector is arranged on the first frame; the electrical connector comprises a plurality of first terminals exposed on the first frame; the electrical connector is configured to detachably dock with an external device, so that the plurality of first terminals are electrically connected to the plurality of second terminals of the external device.
[0006] In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first frame surrounds the outer edge of the display screen, and the extension direction of the first frame is different from the extension direction of the display screen. The electrical connector is located in the first frame, and multiple first terminals of electrical connection are exposed in the first frame, so that the electrical connector can be detachably connected to the peripheral device. In this way, the peripheral device is located on the top of the first fuselage, and the peripheral device can be electrically connected to the electrical connector in a forward or reverse manner to adapt to different application scenarios and improve user experience. At the same time, the electronic device does not need to be built-in with the peripheral device, and the peripheral device does not take up space, which can meet the requirements of full screen and narrow black border of the electronic device.
[0007] In some implementations, a mounting groove is provided on the first frame; a plurality of first terminals are exposed in the mounting groove; the mounting groove is configured to allow at least a part of the peripheral device to be detachably inserted into the mounting groove, so that a plurality of second terminals of the peripheral device are electrically connected to the plurality of first terminals of the electrical connector. In this way, the mounting groove can play a role in mounting and positioning to limit the movement of the peripheral device in different directions, and can improve the stability between the peripheral device and the electrical connector.
[0008] In some implementations, the plurality of first terminals are equally spaced along the length direction of the first frame; the plurality of second terminals are equally spaced and correspond to the plurality of first terminals one by one along the length direction of the peripheral device.

The cable outlet position avoids the display screen, enabling the display screen to abut against the first frame, thereby reducing the black border size of the display screen. This can not only meet the requirements of a full-screen and narrow black border, but also improve the aesthetic effect.
[0013] In some implementations, the housing body further includes a second housing surface, and the second housing surface faces the external environment; the depth of the second receiving groove is greater than the thickness of the housing body, so that a portion of the second housing surface adjacent to the mounting groove forms a convex structure protruding toward the external environment; the projection area of the electrical connector and at least one first magnetic body on the second housing surface is located within the projection area of the convex structure on the second housing surface. In this way, the convex structure protrudes locally in the thickness direction relative to the first housing, which can not only make the thickness of the remaining positions of the first housing thin, but also does not affect the overall appearance of the machine.

[0067] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0068] In the description of the present application, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.
[0069] In addition, in the present application, orientation terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the components shown in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, and they are used for relative description and clarification, and they may change accordingly with the change of the orientation of the components placed in the drawings.
[0070] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a laptop computer.
[0071] As Figure 1 shown, the laptop computer includes a display 10 and a main body 20, and the display 10 and the main body 20 are rotationally connected through a rotating shaft 30.
[0072] The display 10 includes a front shell 11 and a screen 40. The screen 40 is used to display images, videos, etc. The screen 40 can adopt a flexible display screen or a rigid display screen. The front shell 11 faces the user side, and the front shell 11 is used to protect the screen 40. The front shell 11 can cover the edge of the screen 40 for one week and the back of the screen 40.
[0073] The main body 20 includes a main body (not shown in the figure), a keyboard 21 and a touch pad 22. The keyboard 21 and the touch pad 22 are arranged on the main body and face the screen 40. The keyboard 21 is used to input instructions or data. One working mode of the touch pad 22 is used as a mouse, and the touch actions of the user's finger (including swiping, clicking and other actions) are used to control the movement of the cursor on the screen 40 to perform operations such as "cursor navigation", "selection" or "confirmation" of the mouse. It should be noted that in different working modes, the touch pad 22 can replace the mouse to control the laptop computer, or work in cooperation with the mouse to improve the portability of the laptop computer.
[0074] The main body includes a plurality of electronic components, and the electronic components include but are not limited to a processor and a memory, etc. The main body is used to control the screen 40 to display images or videos according to the instructions or data input by the keyboard 21, and is also used to control the movement of the cursor on the screen 40 according to the touch actions input by the touch pad 22.
[0075] Through the rotating shaft 30, the laptop computer can be switched between an open state and a closed state. When the laptop computer is in the open state, the display 10 and the main body 20 form an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°. When the laptop computer is in the closed state, the display 10 covers the main body 20, and the display surface of the display 10 is opposite to the keyboard surface of the main body 20.
[0076] The display 10 includes a camera 50 for realizing the shooting function. The number of cameras 50 provided can be one or more. The camera 50 is arranged at the top position on the user side of the front shell 11, and the plane where the top position is located is parallel to the plane where the screen 40 is located. The camera 50 is integrally installed above the screen 40 to use the camera 50 to photograph the user in front of the screen.
[0077] To facilitate the accommodation of the camera 50, the top width W of the front shell 11 11It is necessary to adapt to the width of the camera 50. This makes the width of the edge of the front shell 11 that wraps the screen 40 in the laptop relatively wide, and there is likely to be a relatively wide black edge on the appearance facing the user side, resulting in poor aesthetics and unable to meet the requirements of narrow black edges and full-screen. Also, when shooting, the camera 50 cannot move and can only shoot the user in front of the screen. If it is necessary to change the shooting range in scenarios such as interviews, for example, shooting the scene behind the screen, then the entire laptop needs to be rotated, or an additional connected camera needs to be used, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0078] To solve the above technical problems, embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, a peripheral device, and a terminal system.
[0079] The electronic device described in the embodiments of the present application includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, or wearable devices, etc. The peripheral device described in the embodiments of the present application includes, but is not limited to, camera modules, microphones, or flashlights, etc. The following will be described taking the electronic device as a laptop and the peripheral device as a camera module.
[0080] Figure 2 It is the first structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0081] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device may include: a first body 100, a second body 200, and an electrical connector 300.
[0082] The first body 100 may include a first housing (not shown in the figure) and a display screen 102, and the first housing and the display screen 102 are snapped together. The display screen 102 is used to display images, videos, etc. The display screen 102 may adopt a flexible display screen or a rigid display screen. The first housing faces away from the user side, and the first housing is used to protect the display screen 102. The first housing may cover the four peripheral edges and the back of the display screen 102.
[0083] The second body 200 may include a second housing (not shown in the figure), a keyboard assembly 210, a touchpad assembly 220, etc. The keyboard assembly 210 and the touchpad assembly 220 are arranged on the second housing and face the display screen 102. The second housing includes a plurality of electronic components, and the electronic components include, but are not limited to, a processor and a memory, etc.
[0084] The first body 100 and the second body 200 may be connected and rotated through a rotating shaft or a hinge (not shown in the figure) so that the electronic device can be switched between an open state and a closed state. Exemplarily, the first body 100 may be used as the display side, and the second body 200 may be used as the host system side.
[0085] AsFigure 2 In the state shown, when the electronic device is in the open state, the first body 100 and the second body 200 form an angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 180°.
[0086] To facilitate the description of the positions of the various components in the electronic device, in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established based on the electronic device. Among them, the x-axis direction is the width direction of the electronic device, the y-axis direction is the length direction of the electronic device, and the z-axis direction is the thickness direction of the electronic device.
[0087] Exemplarily, Figure 2 A three-dimensional coordinate system showing the first body 100 is presented, where the x-axis direction is the width direction of the first body 100, the y-axis direction is the length direction of the first body 100, and the z-axis direction is the thickness direction of the first body 100.
[0088] Figure 3 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present application.
[0089] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the closed state, the first body 100 covers the second body 200, and the display surface of the first body 100 faces the keyboard surface of the second body 200.
[0090] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the first housing may include a housing body 103 and a first frame 101. The housing body 103 can be regarded as the outer shell of the first body 100, on the side of the housing body 103 facing away from the user, and the first frame 101 can be regarded as the side edge of the first body 100. Among them, the housing body 103 and the first frame 101 can be integrally formed.
[0091] The housing body 103 is disposed on the back of the display screen 102, and the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the housing body 103. The extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from the extension direction of the housing body 103. Exemplarily, the extension direction of the first frame 101 is parallel to the z-axis, the extension direction of the housing body 103 is parallel to the x-axis and the y-axis, and the first frame 101 is perpendicular to the housing body 103.
[0092] Figure 4 This is Figure 2 a partial structural schematic diagram of area A in
[0093] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 102, and the extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from the extension direction of the display screen 102.
[0094] Exemplarily, the extending direction of the first frame 101 is parallel to the z-axis, the extending direction of the display screen 102 is parallel to the x-axis and the y-axis, and the first frame 101 is perpendicular to the display screen 102.
[0095] The housing body 103 and the display screen 102 are located on opposite sides of the first frame 101, and the edge of the housing body 103 and the edge of the display screen 102 are connected by the first frame 101. The extending direction of the housing body 103 is the same as the extending direction of the display screen 102.
[0096] In this way, the display screen 102 is fixed by the first frame 101 perpendicular to the display screen 102 of the first housing, and there is no need to set a camera at the top position of the first housing above the display screen 102. The first body 100 no longer has a built-in camera, which can make the edge of the display screen 102 extend to the edge of the first housing, and thus the requirements of a full-screen and narrow black border can be achieved.
[0097] In some embodiments, the electrical connector 300 is disposed on the first frame 101. Exemplarily, the electrical connector 300 is located at the top of the first frame 101. The electrical connector 300 can also be disposed on the left or right side of the first frame 101 relative to the user, and is not limited herein. The electrical connector 300 is used to achieve electrical connection between different electronic devices for signal transmission. Exemplarily, the electrical connector 300 can adopt a precision spring pin (pogo-pin) connector. A pogo-pin is a spring-type probe formed by riveting and pre-pressing three basic components, namely a spring pin, a spring, and a needle tube, through precision instruments.
[0098] The electrical connector 300 can include a plurality of first terminals 301. The electrical connector 300 is located inside the first body 100, and the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are exposed on the first frame 101. The electrical connector 300 is configured to be detachably docked with the peripheral device 400, so that the plurality of first terminals 301 are electrically connected to the plurality of second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400. Among them, the structure of the peripheral device 400 can refer to Figure 8 the content shown, which will not be elaborated here.
[0099] To achieve electrical connection, the structures of the first terminal 301 and the second terminal 402 are in a male-female pairing relationship. If the first terminal 301 is a spring pin, the second terminal 402 is a metal end face; if the first terminal 301 is a metal end face, the second terminal 402 is a spring pin. Among them, in this article, the case where the first terminal 301 is a metal end face and the second terminal 402 is a spring pin is taken as an example for illustration.
[0100] Taking the peripheral device 400 as a camera module as an example, the camera module is detachably electrically connected to the electrical connector 300, so that the camera module is no longer built into the first body 100, and the requirements of the narrow black edge of the first housing and the full screen of the display screen 102 can be realized. Since the extension directions of the first frame 101 and the display screen 102 are different, the camera module can be mounted upright to capture the front-screen image and can also be mounted in reverse to capture the rear-screen image. In this way, the camera module can change the shooting range to capture images from different perspectives, which is applicable to a variety of scenarios and provides a good user experience.
[0101] For the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 102, and the extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from the extension direction of the display screen 102. The electrical connector 300 is located on the first frame 101, and multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are exposed on the first frame 101, so that the electrical connector 300 can be detachably docked with the peripheral device. In this way, the peripheral device is located at the top of the first body 100, and the peripheral device can be electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 in a front-mounted or reverse-mounted manner to suit different application scenarios and improve the user experience. At the same time, the peripheral device does not need to be built into the electronic device, and the peripheral device 400 does not occupy the space at the edge of the front shell, so that the first housing cancels the configuration of the front shell structure (such as Figure 1 the front shell 11 shown), and thus the requirements of the full screen and narrow black edge of the electronic device can be realized.
[0102] Refer to again Figure 4 , in some embodiments, an installation groove 1011 is provided on the first frame 101, and the installation groove 1011 is used to accommodate multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300.
[0103] Multiple first terminals 301 are exposed in the installation groove 1011, and there is a certain distance between the multiple first terminals 301 and the surface of the first frame 101 in the x-axis direction, and this distance can be regarded as the depth of the installation groove 1011.
[0104] The installation groove 1011 is configured to enable at least a part of the peripheral device 400 to be detachably embedded into the installation groove 1011, so that multiple second terminals of the peripheral device 400 are electrically connected to multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300.
[0105] In this way, the installation groove 1011 can play a role in installation and positioning. The second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400 is embedded into the installation groove 1011, and the installation groove 1011 on the first frame 101 can limit the movement of the peripheral device 400 in the y-axis and z-axis directions, which can improve the stability between the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300.
[0106] Figure 5This is the first schematic structural diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0107] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the electrical connector 300 may include a metal medium and an insulator 303, and the insulator 303 is wrapped outside the metal medium. The insulator 303 may be made of an insulating material such as plastic, and the insulator 303 is used to insulate the metal medium from the first housing; the metal medium may be made of a conductive material such as copper.
[0108] The electrical connector 300 further includes a plurality of cables 302, and the metal medium is used to form a plurality of first terminals 301 and a plurality of cables 302.
[0109] Figure 6 This is the second schematic structural diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided by the embodiments of the present application. Among them, Figure 6 shows the side view structure of the electrical connector 300.
[0110] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the electrical connector 300 may include a connection portion 311 and a routing portion 312, and the routing portion 312 is arranged in an interleaved manner with the connection portion 311 to adapt to the structure of the first housing. The connection portion 311 is used to connect to an external device 400, and the routing portion 312 is used to transmit signals into the electronic device.
[0111] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of metal end faces are exposed from one end face of the connection portion 311 of the metal medium to form a plurality of first terminals 301. The metal medium then routes along the z-axis from the connection portion 311 to the routing portion 312 located on one side of the connection portion 311, and then routes along the x-axis direction within the routing portion 312. To facilitate the connection of the electrical connector 300 to the system main board within the electronic device, the metal medium may penetrate through one end face of the routing portion 312 to form a plurality of cables 302, and the plurality of cables 302 may continue to extend along the x-axis direction. Among them, the end face of the connection portion 311 that exposes the first terminals 301 may be parallel to the end face of the routing portion 312 that exposes the cables 302. In this way, the routing direction can be changed.
[0112] The plurality of cables 302 correspond to the plurality of first terminals 301 one by one, and the number of cables 302 is the same as the number of first terminals 301. In this way, when the electrical connector 300 uses the plurality of first terminals 301 to be electrically connected to the plurality of second terminals 402 of the external device 400 to transmit signals, the signals are correspondingly transmitted from the plurality of first terminals 301 to the plurality of cables 302, and finally all the signals are transmitted to the system main board by using the plurality of cables 302, avoiding signal loss.
[0113] It can be understood that Figure 6The direction of the dotted arrow shown can be either the wiring direction of the metal medium or the signal transmission direction in which the peripheral device 400 transmits signals to the electronic device via the electrical connector 300.
[0114] Figure 7 It is the third schematic structural diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0115] Combined Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, in the electrical connector 300, multiple first terminals 301 are evenly distributed along the length direction (y-axis direction) of the first frame 101. Similarly, multiple second terminals of the peripheral device are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the peripheral device 400 and correspond to the multiple first terminals 301 one by one. In this way, it is convenient to realize the electrical connection between the second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400 and the first terminal 301 of the electrical connector 300.
[0116] The number of the first terminals 301 is at least 5, and the terminal definitions of different first terminals 301 can be different. Among them, the terminal definition is used to illustrate the function of each first terminal 301. The terminal definition can include but is not limited to power supply, signal transmission, audio transmission, video transmission, and grounding, etc.
[0117] The terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301 are arranged in central symmetry. Exemplarily, along the y-axis direction, the terminal definition of the first terminal 301 located in the middle is PIN-A; the terminal definitions of the first terminals 301 on both sides of PIN-A are PIN-B; the terminal definitions of the first terminals 301 adjacent to each PIN-B and far from PIN-A are PIN-C; the terminal definitions of the first terminals 301 adjacent to each PIN-C and far from PIN-B are PIN-D. Among them, PIN-A, PIN-B, PIN-C, and PIN-D are one of power supply, signal transmission, audio transmission, video transmission, and grounding, etc., and PIN-A, PIN-B, PIN-C, and PIN-D are different.
[0118] In some embodiments, the terminal definition of each first terminal 301 can be pre-configured to be in central symmetry. In another embodiment, a changeover switch can be configured in the electronic device, and according to the changeover switch, the terminal definition of each first terminal 301 is switched to central symmetry.
[0119] Figure 8 It is the first schematic structural diagram of the peripheral device 400 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0120] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral device 400 may include: a device body 401 and multiple second terminals 402.
[0121] One end of the device body 401 is provided with a docking portion 4011, and the docking portion 4011 protrudes towards the external environment relative to the device body 401. A plurality of second terminals 402 are located within the docking portion 4011, such that the plurality of second terminals 402 protrude towards the external environment relative to the device body 401. Exemplarily, the second terminal 402 can be a pin. The device body 401 is used to detachably dock with the electrical connector 300 of the electronic device, so that the plurality of second terminals 402 are electrically connected to the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300.
[0122] The size of the docking portion 4011 matches the size of the installation groove 1011 on the first frame 101, so as to facilitate the docking portion 4011 to be embedded in the installation groove 1011, and improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101. In addition, the terminal definitions of the plurality of second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 are also arranged in central symmetry, and correspond one by one to the terminal definitions of the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300. In this way, it is convenient to realize the electrical connection between the second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400 and the first terminal 301 of the electrical connector 300, and further facilitate the connection methods of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 in the correct installation and reverse installation.
[0123] Taking the peripheral device 400 as a camera module as an example, Figure 8 The dotted arrow shown is the lens optical axis z1 of the camera module. The second terminal 402 is not provided on the end face of the device body 401 where the lens (not shown in the figure) is located, and the second terminal 402 is provided on the end face of the device body 401 adjacent to the end face where the lens is located. The protruding direction of the second terminal 402 relative to the device body 401 is perpendicular to the lens optical axis z1 of the camera module, so that after the camera module is docked with the electrical connector 300, the lens of the camera module can capture images.
[0124] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the camera module is docked with the electrical connector 300, the docking portion 4011 of the camera module is embedded in the installation groove 1011 in the first body 100, and the plurality of second terminals 402 of the camera module and the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are opposite to each other one by one and the terminal definitions are also opposite to each other one by one to achieve electrical connection. The device body 401 of the camera module protrudes relative to the first frame 101, and the lens optical axis z1 of the camera module is not blocked by the first body 100. The lens optical axis z1 of the camera module is perpendicular to the axis (x-axis direction) of the installation groove 1011, and the lens optical axis z1 of the camera module is parallel to the z-axis direction.
[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are equally spaced along the y-axis direction, and the terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301 are centrosymmetric along the z-axis direction. Multiple second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 are also equally spaced, and the terminal definitions of the multiple second terminals 402 are centrosymmetric. Moreover, the spacing between the multiple second terminals 402 is equal to the spacing between the multiple first terminals 301, and the terminal definitions of the multiple second terminals 402 and the terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301 are in one-to-one correspondence. In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electronic device, the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 can be electrically connected in a front-mounted manner or a back-mounted manner to meet different usage requirements and improve the user experience.
[0126] Figure 9 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the front-mounted structure of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0127] As shown in Figure 9 FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the camera module is front-mounted with the electrical connector 300, and the lens of the camera module faces the user side to capture the screen-front image.
[0128] Figure 10 FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the back-mounted structure of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0129] As shown in Figure 10 FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the camera module is back-mounted with the electrical connector 300, and the lens of the camera module faces the back of the screen to capture the screen-back image.
[0130] In this way, the camera module can be detachably front-mounted or back-mounted with the electrical connector 300, enabling the camera module to change the shooting range to capture images from different perspectives.
[0131] Figure 11 FIG. 8 is Figure 3 the first partial structural schematic diagram of region B in FIG. 8. Among them, Figure 11 the structure of the display screen 102 is not shown in FIG. 8, Figure 11 FIG. 9 shows Figure 3 the structure of the interior of region B in FIG. 8 from another perspective.
[0132] As shown in Figure 11 FIG. 10, in some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include: at least one first magnetic body 104. The at least one first magnetic body 104 is located inside the first frame 101 and adjacent to the electrical connector 300, and the first magnetic body 104 is close to the installation groove 1011.
[0133] The first magnetic body 104 is used to adsorb the peripheral device 400 to improve the stability between the peripheral device 400 and the first body 100. The first magnetic body 104 can be a magnet, an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, etc.
[0134] Exemplarily, the number of the first magnetic bodies 104 can be two. The two first magnetic bodies 104 are respectively located on both sides of the electrical connector 300, and there is a certain interval between each first magnetic body 104 and the electrical connector 300 to avoid mutual interference.
[0135] Figure 12 It is the second structural schematic diagram of the peripheral device 400 provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 12 The internal structure of the peripheral device 400 is shown.
[0136] Such as Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the device body 401 of the peripheral device 400 may include a circuit board 404 and at least one second magnetic body 403.
[0137] At least one second magnetic body 403 is located at one end of the device body 401 where a plurality of second terminals 402 are provided, and at least one second magnetic body 403 is adjacent to the plurality of second terminals 402. One end of the circuit board 404 extends to one end of the device body 401 where a plurality of second terminals 402 are provided, and the circuit board 404 is electrically connected to the second terminals 402.
[0138] The second magnetic body 403 is used to adsorb the first magnetic body 104 in the first body 100 to improve the stability between the peripheral device 400 and the first body 100. The second magnetic body 403 can be a magnet, an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, etc.
[0139] Exemplarily, the number of the second magnetic bodies 403 can be two. The two second magnetic bodies 403 are respectively located on both sides of the docking part 4011, and there is a certain interval between each second magnetic body 403 and the docking part 4011. The extending end of the circuit board 404 is located between the two second magnetic bodies 403.
[0140] Figure 13 Is Figure 9 The partial structural schematic diagram of the D area in
[0141] Such as Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the interval distance between the two first magnetic bodies 104 provided on the inner side of the first frame 101 is equal to the interval distance between the two second magnetic bodies 403 provided in the device body 401, and the distance between the first magnetic body 104 and the installation groove 1011 is equal to the distance between the second magnetic body 403 and the docking part 4011.
[0142] The magnetic properties of the first magnetic body 104 are opposite to those of the second magnetic body 403. When the peripheral device is docked with the electrical connector 300, the docking portion 4011 of the peripheral device 400 is embedded in the mounting groove 1011 in the first body 100. A plurality of second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 are opposite to and electrically connected to a plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 one by one. Two second magnetic bodies 403 of the peripheral device 400 correspond to and attract two first magnetic bodies 104 inside the first frame 101 one by one.
[0143] In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is docked with the electrical connector 300, by using the attraction between the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403, the stability between the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101 can be further improved, and then the electrical connection stability between the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 can be improved.
[0144] Figure 14 Yes Figure 3 It is the second partial structural schematic diagram of area B in the figure. Among them, Figure 14 Only the internal structure of the first housing is shown.
[0145] Such as Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner surface of the first frame 101 includes at least one first receiving groove 1012.
[0146] At least one first receiving groove 1012 is adjacent to the mounting groove 1011, and at least one first magnetic body 104 is correspondingly arranged in at least one first receiving groove 1012.
[0147] The number of the first receiving grooves 1012 is the same as the number of the first magnetic bodies 104, so as to use the first receiving grooves 1012 to receive the first magnetic bodies 104, avoid the first magnetic bodies 104 occupying the internal space of the first body 100, and also improve the stability between the first magnetic bodies 104 and the first frame 101.
[0148] The mounting groove 1011 penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the first frame 101, and the mounting groove 1011 can be regarded as a through hole. The first receiving groove 1012 can be a blind groove, and the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 can adsorb through the wall thickness of the first receiving groove 1012. The first receiving groove 1012 can also be a through hole. In this way, the first magnetic body 104 is exposed from the outer surface of the first frame 101, so that the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 can directly adsorb to improve the adsorption force.
[0149] In some embodiments, the housing body 103 may include a first housing surface 1031, and the first housing surface 1031 faces the display screen 102.
[0150] The first housing surface 1031 may include a second receiving groove 1033 and a third receiving groove 1035, and the second receiving groove 1033 is located within the third receiving groove 1035. The second receiving groove 1033 is adjacent to the mounting groove 1011, and the third receiving groove 1035 may communicate with the mounting groove 1011.
[0151] In the y-axis direction, the length of the third receiving groove 1035 is greater than the length of the second receiving groove 1033, and the length of the third receiving groove 1035 is greater than the distance between the two first receiving grooves 1012, such that at least one first receiving groove 1012 is within the length range of the third receiving groove 1035.
[0152] Figure 15 Yes Figure 4 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the C-C cross-section in
[0153] As Figure 15 shown, in some embodiments, the second receiving groove 1033 is recessed from the first housing surface 1031 into the housing body 103 by a certain depth h 1033 to form, and the third receiving groove 1035 is recessed from the first housing surface 1031 into the housing body 103 by a certain depth h 1035 to form. The depth h of the third receiving groove 1035 1035 is less than the depth h of the second receiving groove 1033 1033 , and the depth h of the third receiving groove 1035 1035 is less than the thickness h of the housing body 103 103 .
[0154] The second receiving groove 1033 is configured to provide a routing space for a plurality of cables 302. The electrical connector 300 has a structure in which the connecting portion 311 and the routing portion 312 are arranged alternately. A part of the connecting portion 311 is embedded in the mounting groove 1011, such that the first terminal 301 is exposed from the mounting groove 1011, and the other part of the connecting portion 311 protrudes from the inner surface of the first frame 101. The routing portion 312 is adjacent to the housing body 103 and is located within the routing space provided by the second receiving groove 1033, such that the cable 302 is routed within the second receiving groove 1033. That is, when arranging the electrical connector 300, the metal medium routes from the connecting portion 311 along the z-axis towards the housing body 103 to the second receiving groove 1033, and then changes the routing direction to route along the inner surface of the housing body 103 in the x-axis direction to form the routing portion 312, and the cable 302 passes through the end face of the routing portion 312 and continues to route in the x-axis direction.
[0155] In this way, the routing direction within the electrical connector 300 can be changed, such that the cable outlet position of the cable 302 is away from the display screen 102, avoiding the cable outlet position of the cable 302 from obstructing the extension of the display screen 102. The cable outlet position of the cable 302 avoiding the display screen 102 enables the edge of the display screen 102 to abut against the first frame 101, thereby reducing the black border size of the display screen 102, and even eliminating the black border, which can not only meet the requirements of a full-screen and narrow black border, but also improve the aesthetic effect.
[0156] Figure 16 is Figure 3 the third partial structural schematic diagram of region B in. Among them, Figure 16 only the partial structure of the first body 100 is shown.
[0157] Combined with Figure 15 and Figure 16 as shown, in some embodiments, the housing body 103 may further include a second housing surface 1032, the second housing surface 1032 faces the external environment, and the second housing surface 1032 is opposite to the first housing surface 1031.
[0158] To facilitate providing routing space for the electrical connector 300, the depth h of the second receiving groove 1033 1033 is greater than the thickness h of the housing body 103 103 , such that a convex structure 1034 protruding towards the external environment is formed at a portion of the second housing surface 1032 adjacent to the mounting groove 1011.
[0159] The projection areas of the electrical connector 300 and at least one first magnetic body 104 on the second housing surface 1032 are located within the projection area of the convex structure 1034 on the second housing surface 1032. That is to say, along the y-axis direction, the length of the convex structure 1034 is greater than or equal to the length of the third receiving groove 1035. Along the x-axis direction, the width of the convex structure 1034 is greater than or equal to the width of the third receiving groove 1035. The protruding height of the convex structure 1034 relative to the second housing surface 1032 is related to the depth of the second receiving groove 1033 and the wall thickness of the convex structure 1034 itself.
[0160] In this way, the convex structure 1034 forms a local convexity at the position of the housing body 103 corresponding to the electrical connector 300. The convex structure 1034 protrudes locally along the z-axis direction relative to the first housing, which can not only make the thickness of the remaining positions of the first body 100 thin, but also does not affect the overall appearance of the machine. Moreover, the third receiving groove 1035 is used to accommodate the components located within the convex structure 1034, which can avoid the components from affecting the layout of other components within the first body 100.
[0161] Figure 17 is a partial side view when the peripheral device 400 provided by the embodiment of the present application is connected to the electrical connector 300.
[0162] As shown Figure 17 in some embodiments, the convex hull structure 1034 protrudes relative to the housing body 103, which can increase the local width W of the first frame 101 101 , and the position where the local width is increased can be used as a bearing surface.
[0163] In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is docked with the electrical connector 300, the bearing surface is used to support the peripheral device 400, which can improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101, and further improve the stability when the peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 300.
[0164] Referring again Figure 15 to some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include a buffer medium 105. Exemplarily, the buffer medium 105 may be made of soft rubber material to play a buffering role.
[0165] The buffer medium 105 is located between the first frame 101 and the display screen 102, and the buffer medium 105 can surround the four peripheral edges of the display screen 102. In this way, it can prevent the display screen 102 from directly contacting the first frame 101 and generating local stress concentration, thereby avoiding damaging the display screen 102.
[0166] At least a part of the buffer medium 105 extends along the back side of the first terminal 301 and approaches the cable 302. At least a part of the buffer medium 105 extends along the back side of the connecting portion 311 and approaches the wiring portion 312. In this way, it can avoid the end of the display screen 102 from contacting the back side of the electrical connector 300 and generating local stress concentration, thereby avoiding damaging the display screen 102.
[0167] In some embodiments, when the electrical connector 300 is docked with the peripheral device 400, a corresponding electrical signal can be generated, and the electrical signal is sent to the system main board through the cable 302 of the electrical connector 300. The system main board can be configured in the second body 200. When the system main board receives the electrical signal, it can indicate that the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 are in a connected state. In this way, it can be detected whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 according to whether the system main board receives the electrical signal.
[0168] In some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include: a first sensing device (not shown in the figure). The first sensing device is located inside the first frame 101 and adjacent to at least one first magnetic body 104; the first sensing device is configured to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300.
[0169] In this way, according to the detection result of whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, the electronic device can play corresponding prompt information to the user in a timely manner for the user to understand the state of the peripheral device 400 and avoid the loss of the peripheral device 400.
[0170] It should be noted that the process of the first sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 can refer to the process of the second sensing device 204 detecting whether the peripheral device is received in the receiving mechanism 203 provided in the following embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.
[0171] Refer again to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the second body 200 may include a second housing, and the second housing may include a front shell 201, a second side frame 202, and a rear shell (not shown in the figure). The front shell 201 faces the display screen 102, and both the keyboard assembly 210 and the touchpad assembly 220 are provided on the front shell 201. The rear shell faces away from the display screen 102, the front shell 201 and the rear shell are located on opposite sides of the second side frame 202, and the edges of the front shell 201 and the rear shell are connected by the second side frame 202.
[0172] The extension direction of the second side frame 202 is different from that of the front shell 201, and the second side frame 202 can be regarded as the side edge of the second body 200. Combining Figure 3 , when the electronic device is closed, the extension direction of the second side frame 202 is the same as that of the first side frame 101.
[0173] Figure 18 is the first structural schematic diagram of the second body 200 provided by the embodiments of the present application. Among them, Figure 18 shows the bottom view of the second body 200 and does not show the structure of the rear shell.
[0174] As Figure 18 shown, in some embodiments, a receiving mechanism 203 is provided inside the second body 200, and the receiving mechanism 203 is adjacent to the second side frame 202.
[0175] The receiving mechanism 203 provides a cavity for receiving unused peripheral devices to avoid the loss of detachable peripheral devices.
[0176] Figure 19 is Figure 18 the first partial structural schematic diagram of region E in Figure 20 is Figure 18 the second partial structural schematic diagram of region E in Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the structures from different perspectives.
[0177] Combining Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving hole 2021 is formed in the second frame 202. The receiving hole 2021 is adjacent to and communicates with the receiving mechanism 203, so that the peripheral device 400 can be received in the receiving mechanism 203 through the receiving hole 2021.
[0178] In some embodiments, the second body 200 may further include a second sensing device 204. The second sensing device 204 is disposed in the receiving mechanism 203 and is configured to detect whether the peripheral device is received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0179] A system main board is configured in the second body 200. The second sensing device 204 is connected to the system main board through a trace 2041.
[0180] Exemplarily, the second sensing device 204 may adopt a Hall device. The Hall device is used to detect whether there is magnetism in the receiving mechanism 203 and generate an electrical signal corresponding to the magnetic field intensity around the receiving mechanism 203. The Hall device sends the electrical signal to the system main board so that the system main board can detect whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0181] It should be noted that the process of the system main board detecting whether the peripheral device is received in the receiving mechanism 203 can refer to the method for detecting the state of the peripheral device provided in the following embodiments. The working principles of the first sensing device and the second sensing device 204 provided in the foregoing embodiments are the same, and will not be elaborated here.
[0182] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 203 includes an opening 2031, and the second sensing device 204 is adjacent to the opening 2031. In this way, it is convenient for the second sensing device 204 to detect the magnetism in the receiving mechanism 203 and improve the detection accuracy.
[0183] Figure 21 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of the peripheral device 400 received in the receiving mechanism 203 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 22 is Figure 21 a partial structural diagram of the F area in. Among them, Figure 22 shows the structures from different perspectives.
[0184] Combined with Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral device 400 enters the cavity of the receiving mechanism 203 through the receiving hole 2021, and the docking portion 4011 of the peripheral device 400 faces the inside of the receiving mechanism 203.
[0185] In some embodiments, the second body 200 may further include at least one third magnetic body 205; the at least one third magnetic body 205 is spaced on the surface of the receiving mechanism 203 facing the receiving hole 2021. The third magnetic body 205 is configured to adsorb the peripheral device 400 to fix the peripheral device 400 within the receiving mechanism 203. Exemplarily, the third magnetic body 205 may be a magnet, an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or the like.
[0186] When the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, the third magnetic body 205 is located on one side of the docking portion 4011. The magnetism of the third magnetic body 205 is opposite to that of the second magnetic body 403 within the peripheral device 400, and the third magnetic body 205 attracts the second magnetic body 403 to improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the receiving mechanism 203, and also prevent the peripheral device 400 from falling off and being lost from the receiving mechanism 203.
[0187] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 203 may further include at least one spring buckle (not shown in the figure), and the at least one spring buckle is located on the surface of the receiving mechanism 203 facing the receiving hole 2021. When the spring buckle and the third magnetic body 205 are arranged in the receiving mechanism 203 at the same time, the spring buckle and the third magnetic body 205 may be arranged side by side at intervals.
[0188] When the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, the at least one spring buckle is configured to: be distributed on both sides of the second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400 and be in elastic contact with the peripheral device 400, and when the peripheral device 400 is externally pressed, eject the peripheral device 400 from the receiving mechanism 203. In this way, it is convenient to take out the peripheral device 400 from the receiving mechanism 203.
[0189] In some embodiments, the size of the receiving hole 2021 on the second frame 202 may be increased. In this way, when the spring buckle is not provided in the receiving mechanism 203, the peripheral device 400 can be manually taken out from the receiving mechanism 203. In other embodiments, other methods may also be used to take out the peripheral device 400 from the second body 200, which is not limited herein.
[0190] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further provide a terminal system, including: the electronic device provided in any of the foregoing embodiments and the peripheral device 400. The peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 of the electronic device, or the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203 of the electronic device.
[0191] In the terminal system provided by the embodiments of the present application, the peripheral device 400 is detachably connected to the electronic device. When in use, the peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 of the electronic device; when not in use, the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 provided by the electronic device, which is very convenient to use.
[0192] Figure 23 It is a schematic structural diagram of the storage bin 500 provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0193] As Figure 23 shown, in some embodiments, the terminal system may further include: a storage bin 500 for storing the peripheral device 400.
[0194] The storage bin 500 includes a third sensing device (not shown in the figure), and the third sensing device is configured to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage bin 500. The process of the third sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage bin 500 may refer to the process of the second sensing device 204 detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, which will not be elaborated here.
[0195] The storage bin 500 may be configured in the accessory 600 of the electronic device. Exemplarily, the accessory 600 includes but is not limited to a mouse, a charger, etc. The way the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage bin 500 may refer to any way the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, which will not be elaborated here.
[0196] In this way, storing the peripheral device 400 in the accessory 600 of the electronic device can prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost when not in use and is also convenient for taking when in use.
[0197] Figure 24 It is a flowchart of the method for detecting the state of the peripheral device provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0198] As Figure 24 shown, in some embodiments, the method for detecting the state of the peripheral device is applied to the electronic device provided by the foregoing embodiments, and the method may include the following steps S101 - step S104:
[0199] Step S101, the electronic device detects whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism and also detects whether the peripheral device and the electrical connector are in a connected state.
[0200] Step S102, if the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, then play a first prompt message.
[0201] Step S103, if the peripheral device and the electrical connector are in a connected state, then play a second prompt message.
[0202] In step S104, if the peripheral device is not housed in the housing mechanism and is not in a connected state with the electrical connector, then a third prompt message is played.
[0203] The entire electronic device is in a powered-on state. The electronic device includes a system motherboard, and the system motherboard can be located within the second body 200. A processor is configured on the system motherboard, and the processor can detect the state of the peripheral device 400.
[0204] In step S101, the process of the processor detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is housed in the housing mechanism 203 and the process of detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 are not in a sequential order and can also be performed simultaneously.
[0205] The housing mechanism 203 includes a second sensing device 204. Since the peripheral device 400 includes a second magnetic body 403, if the peripheral device 400 is housed in the housing mechanism 203, a magnetic field will be generated within the housing mechanism 203. Next, the second sensing device 204 will detect different intensities of magnetic fields within the housing mechanism 203, and the second sensing device 204 will generate an electrical signal corresponding to the magnetic field intensity around the housing mechanism 203.
[0206] In some embodiments, in step S101, the process of detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is housed in the housing mechanism 203 may include the following steps S201 - step S203:
[0207] Step S201, detect whether an electrical signal sent by the second sensing device is received.
[0208] Step S202, if an electrical signal is received, determine whether the electrical signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal threshold.
[0209] Step S203, if the electrical signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold, determine that the peripheral device is housed in the housing mechanism.
[0210] Wherein, the preset signal threshold refers to a signal threshold preset for determining whether the peripheral device 400 is housed in the housing mechanism 203.
[0211] According to the number of magnetic bodies in the housing mechanism 203 and the total magnetic field intensity generated by each magnetic body, the size of the preset signal threshold can be customarily adjusted.
[0212] In one implementation, when the third magnetic body 205 is not provided in the storage mechanism 203 and the second magnetic body 403 is provided in the peripheral device 400, if the peripheral device 400 is not stored in the storage mechanism 203, there is no magnetism in the storage mechanism 203, and the second induction device 204 cannot detect the magnetic field, and thus cannot generate a corresponding electrical signal. If the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, there is magnetism generated by the second magnetic body 403 in the storage mechanism 203, and the second induction device 204 can detect a magnetic field with an intensity corresponding to the magnetism generated by the second magnetic body 403, and thus generate a corresponding electrical signal. In this scenario, the preset signal threshold can be set to the first preset signal threshold, and the first preset signal threshold is only related to the magnetic field intensity that the second magnetic body 403 in the peripheral device 400 can generate.
[0213] In another implementation, when the third magnetic body 205 is provided in the storage mechanism 203 and the second magnetic body 403 is provided in the peripheral device 400, if the peripheral device 400 is not stored in the storage mechanism 203, there will still be magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205 in the storage mechanism 203, then the second induction device 204 can detect a magnetic field with an intensity corresponding to the magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205, and thus generate a corresponding electrical signal. If the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, there is magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205 and the second magnetic body 403 simultaneously in the storage mechanism 203, and thus the second induction device 204 can detect a magnetic field with an intensity corresponding to the total magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205 and the second magnetic body 403, and thus generate a corresponding electrical signal. In this scenario, the preset signal threshold can be set to the second preset signal threshold, and the second preset signal threshold is related to the total magnetic field intensity that the third magnetic body 205 in the storage mechanism 203 and the second magnetic body 403 in the peripheral device 400 can generate.
[0214] Among them, the second preset signal threshold is greater than the first preset signal threshold to be applicable to magnetic detection in different storage scenarios.
[0215] In some embodiments, if the processor receives the electrical signal sent by the second induction device 204 and the electrical signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold, it indicates that the magnetic field intensity generated in the storage mechanism 203 exceeds the preset signal threshold, and thus it can be determined that the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203. Among them, the preset signal threshold is the first preset signal threshold or the second preset signal threshold.
[0216] In some embodiments, if the processor does not receive the electrical signal, it indicates that the current storage scenario is a scenario where the third magnetic body 205 is not provided in the storage mechanism 203, and the second induction device 204 cannot detect the magnetic field, and thus it can be determined that the peripheral device 400 is not stored in the storage mechanism 203.
[0217] In some embodiments, if the processor receives the electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204 and the electrical signal is less than the preset signal threshold, it indicates that the magnetic field intensity generated in the receiving mechanism 203 is insufficient, and it can be determined that the peripheral device 400 is not received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0218] In this way, by using the second sensing device 204 to detect the magnetic field intensity in the receiving mechanism 203 to determine whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, the detection accuracy can be improved.
[0219] In step S102, if the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, the electronic device plays a first prompt message, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0220] Among them, the way of playing the first prompt message may include a display method and / or a voice broadcast method, etc.
[0221] Figure 25 It is a schematic diagram of the interface for the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application to play the first prompt message.
[0222] As Figure 25 shown, in some embodiments, the process of playing the first prompt message may include the following step S301:
[0223] Step S301, display a first prompt pop-up window 701A on the display screen 102, and display the first prompt message 701B in the first prompt pop-up window 701A according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0224] Among them, the preset number of times can be customized by the user to determine the number of times the first prompt message is played; the preset time interval can also be customized by the user to determine the time interval between two adjacent plays of the first prompt message.
[0225] Exemplarily, a prompt message "Peripheral device is in the receiving mechanism" is displayed in the first prompt pop-up window 701A to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0226] The first prompt pop-up window 701A can be displayed in various areas of the display screen 102 in the form of a pop-up window or a floating layer. Exemplarily, the first prompt pop-up window 701A can be displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen 102 in the form of a pop-up window.
[0227] In some embodiments, the process of playing the first prompt message may further include the following step S302:
[0228] Step S302: Call the voice player to play the first prompt message by voice at a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0229] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can either execute one of the methods of displaying the first prompt message using the first prompt pop-up window and playing the first prompt message using the voice player, or execute both methods simultaneously.
[0230] In step S103, when the electrical connector 300 is docked with the peripheral device 400, a corresponding electrical signal can be generated. This electrical signal is sent to the system motherboard through the electrical connector 300 and then sent to the processor. When the processor receives this electrical signal, it can indicate that the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300.
[0231] If the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, the electronic device plays a second prompt message, which is used to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300.
[0232] Among them, the method of playing the second prompt message can include a display method and / or a voice broadcast method, etc.
[0233] Figure 26 It is a schematic diagram of the interface for the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application to play the second prompt message.
[0234] Such as Figure 26 As shown, in some embodiments, the process of playing the second prompt message may include the following step S401:
[0235] Step S401: Display the second prompt pop-up window 702A on the display screen 102, and display the second prompt message 702B in the second prompt pop-up window 702A at a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0236] Exemplarily, a prompt message "Peripheral device connected to the electrical connector" is displayed in the second prompt pop-up window 702A to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 and the peripheral device 400 is being used.
[0237] In some embodiments, the process of playing the second prompt message may further include the following step S402:
[0238] Step S402: Call the voice player to play the second prompt message by voice at a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0239] It can be understood that the process of the electronic device playing the second prompt message can refer to the process of playing the first prompt message, which will not be elaborated here.
[0240] In step S104, if the processor detects that the peripheral device 400 is not received in the receiving mechanism 203 and is not in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor being used.
[0241] To avoid loss of the peripheral device, the electronic device plays a third prompt message, which is used to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor in a connected state with the electrical connector 300. Among them, the way of playing the third prompt message can include a display method and / or a voice broadcast method, etc.
[0242] In this way, different detection results can be obtained, so as to play prompt messages corresponding to different detection results to the user, so that the user can understand the different states of the peripheral device 400 in real time.
[0243] Figure 27 It is a schematic diagram of the interface for the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application to play the third prompt message.
[0244] As Figure 27 shown, in some embodiments, the process of playing the third prompt message may include the following step S501:
[0245] Step S501, display a third prompt pop-up window 703A on the display screen 102, and display the third prompt message 703B in the third prompt pop-up window 703A at a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0246] Exemplarily, a prompt message "The peripheral device is not installed in the whole machine" is displayed in the third prompt pop-up window 703A to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor in a connected state with the electrical connector 300.
[0247] In some embodiments, the process of playing the third prompt message may further include the following step S502:
[0248] Step S502, call the voice player, and play the third prompt message by voice at a preset time interval and a preset number of times.
[0249] It can be understood that the process of the electronic device playing the third prompt message can refer to the process of playing the first prompt message, which will not be elaborated here.
[0250] In some embodiments, the electronic device also supports the user to customize whether to enable the reminder function. If the user has enabled the reminder function, when detecting the respective detection results that the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, and the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, corresponding reminder information is played. If the user has not enabled the reminder function, the detection process is not executed, and the corresponding reminder information is not played.
[0251] In some embodiments, step S104 may include the following steps S601 to S602:
[0252] Step S601, if the received electrical signal starts to decrease from a preset signal threshold, start accumulating a first duration.
[0253] Step S602, if it is not detected that the peripheral device is in a connected state with the electrical connector when the first duration is greater than or equal to a first time threshold, play a third reminder message.
[0254] If the processor receives that the electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204 starts to decrease from the preset signal threshold, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is taken out from the receiving mechanism 203. Wherein, the first duration refers to the total duration when the peripheral device 400 is taken out from the receiving mechanism 203. The first time threshold refers to the reserved operation duration when the peripheral device 400 is taken out from the receiving mechanism 203 and docked to the electrical connector 300.
[0255] When the first duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, if the processor does not detect that the peripheral device is in a connected state with the electrical connector, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is not electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 in time after being taken out from the receiving mechanism 203. Next, in order to avoid loss of the peripheral device 400, the electronic device plays a third reminder message to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor in a connected state with the electrical connector 300. In this way, the state of the peripheral device 400 can be accurately detected to accurately play reminder information to the user.
[0256] The process of the electronic device playing the third reminder message may refer to the content of step S501 provided in the foregoing embodiments, and / or the content of step S502, which will not be elaborated here.
[0257] In some embodiments, step S104 may include the following steps S701 to S702:
[0258] Step S701, if it is detected that the peripheral device and the electrical connector change from a connected state to a non-connected state, start accumulating a second duration.
[0259] In step S702, if the peripheral device is not detected to be received in the receiving mechanism when the second duration is greater than or equal to the second time threshold, a third prompt message is played.
[0260] If the processor changes from being able to receive the electrical signal sent by the electrical connector 300 to being unable to receive the electrical signal sent by the electrical connector 300, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is disconnected from the electrical connector 300, that is, it is detected that the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 change from the connected state to the non-connected state. Wherein, the second duration refers to the total duration during which the peripheral device 400 is disconnected from the electrical connector 300. The second time threshold refers to the reserved operation duration during which the peripheral device 400 is disconnected from the electrical connector 300 and received in the receiving mechanism 203.
[0261] When the second duration is greater than or equal to the second time threshold, if the processor does not receive the electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is not received in the receiving mechanism 203 in time after being disconnected from the electrical connector 300. Next, in order to prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost, the electronic device plays a third prompt message to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor in the connected state with the electrical connector 300. In this way, the state of the peripheral device can be accurately detected to accurately play a prompt message to the user.
[0262] The process of the electronic device playing the third prompt message may refer to the content of step S501 provided in the foregoing embodiment and / or the content of step S502, which will not be elaborated here.
[0263] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 203 may be built into the electronic device or may be an external independent one, for example, it may be an external receiving bin 500.
[0264] It should be noted that the process of the first sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is in the connected state with the electrical connector 300, and the third sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving bin 500 may refer to the process of the electronic device using the second sensing device 204 to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, which will not be elaborated here.
[0265] The state detection method of the peripheral device provided in the embodiment of the present application provides an anti-loss detection logic for the peripheral device 400, that is, detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, and detecting whether the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 are in the connected state. And corresponding prompt messages can be played according to different detection results to timely provide the user with the state of the peripheral device 400 and prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost.
[0266] The above embodiments provided by the present application introduce various solutions of the method for detecting the state of the peripheral device provided by the present application.

Whether a certain function is executed in the way of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional technicians can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the present application.
[0267] Figure 28 is a block diagram of the structure of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the electronic device can implement the corresponding functions through the Figure 28 hardware device shown.

[0269] In one embodiment, the sensing device 801 is used to detect the state of the peripheral device 400. For example, it detects whether the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300, detects whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203, and detects whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving bin 500; wherein, the sensing device 801 includes any one of a first sensing device, a second sensing device 204, and a third sensing device.
