[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The technical solutions provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0020] This application provides an electronic device, which may be, but is not limited to, mobile phones, smartwatches, health monitoring devices, and other smart devices, and is not limited thereto. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a device body and a rotating assembly 11, wherein the device body includes a processor and a backplane 12.

[0021] Optionally, in addition to the back panel 12, the device body may also include, but is not limited to, device structural components such as camera modules, bezels, and screens.

[0022] The rotating ring assembly 11 can be mounted on the back plate 12 and is rotatable relative to the back plate 12. For example, the rotating ring assembly 11 can be rotatable relative to the back plate as follows: Figure 1 The indicated rotation can be counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0023] The processor is connected to the rotating ring assembly 11. When a specific function is implemented through the rotating ring assembly 11, the processor determines the device grip gesture and switches the operating mode of the rotating ring assembly 11 according to the grip gesture, such as right-hand mode or left-hand mode. This ensures that the operating mode of the rotating ring assembly 11 matches the user's grip habit, meeting the different operational needs of the user when holding the electronic device with different hands (e.g., left or right), and achieving the requirements of convenient operation and personalized experience.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotating ring assembly 11 can be installed on the back plate 12 in various ways. For example, as an optional implementation, the rotating ring assembly 11 can be installed as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the rotating inlay structure 13 is disposed on the back plate 12, so that the rotating ring assembly 11 can rotate relative to the back plate 12.

[0025] In some embodiments, the specific function may be, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: page turning function, page zoom function, camera zoom function, magnification zoom function, camera mode switching function, filter switching function, pixel adjustment function, camera switching function, button function, etc. In other words, in this embodiment, various different functions can be achieved through the operation of the rotating ring component 11, thereby effectively enriching the functionality of the electronic device and improving the user experience.

[0026] The zoom function can be a zoom function related to video recording, such as a zoom function for video recording or photography.

[0027] The camera mode switching function may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: portrait mode, photo mode, video recording mode, night scene mode, and short video mode.

[0028] The camera switching function may include one or more of the following: front and rear camera switching function, camera quantity switching function, etc.

[0029] The button functions may include, but are not limited to, virtual button functions or physical button functions on the electronic device.

[0030] In some embodiments, the device grip gesture may include, but is not limited to, a right-hand grip gesture or a left-hand grip gesture. The operation modes corresponding to the right-hand grip gesture and the left-hand grip gesture are different. For example, assuming the right-hand grip gesture corresponds to a right-hand mode and the left-hand grip gesture corresponds to a left-hand mode, then the operation logic corresponding to the right-hand mode and the left-hand mode can be reversed, etc.

[0031] For example, assuming the specific function is a page-turning function, then, when the device is held with a right hand, the operation logic corresponding to the operation mode can be: if the rotating ring component 11 is rotated clockwise, the page turns down; otherwise, the page turns up. When the device is held with a left hand, the operation logic corresponding to the operation mode can be: if the rotating ring component 11 is rotated clockwise, the page turns up; otherwise, the page turns down.

[0032] Assuming the specific function is a camera zoom function, then, when the device is held with a right hand, the operation logic corresponding to the operation mode can be: if the rotating ring assembly 11 is rotated clockwise, the focal length is increased; conversely, the focal length is decreased. When the device is held with a left hand, the operation logic corresponding to the operation mode can be: if the rotating ring assembly 11 is rotated clockwise, the focal length is decreased; conversely, the focal length is increased.

[0033] In this embodiment, for other types of specific functions, the operation modes of the rotating component 11 under different device grip gestures can be referred to the relevant descriptions in the aforementioned page turning function and camera zoom function, and will not be repeated here.

[0034] In some embodiments, when the specific function is implemented through the rotating ring component 11, there can be multiple ways to achieve it. For example, assuming the specific function is the camera zoom function, the processor can detect the rotation angle of the rotating ring component 11, determine the target zoom amount based on the correspondence between the rotation angle and the zoom amount, and finally adjust the focal length of the camera module based on the target zoom amount, so as to achieve the purpose of zoom ring through the rotating ring component 11 and improve the user's camera experience when taking pictures through the electronic device.

[0035] In some embodiments, where the specific function is the camera zoom function, the electronic device may further include a camera module connected to the processor. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the rotating ring assembly 11 can be sleeved on the lens assembly 14 and can rotate relative to the lens assembly 14, thereby making the video zoom function realized by the rotating ring assembly 11 on the electronic device more in line with the operation logic of traditional cameras zooming through the zoom ring, effectively improving the video shooting experience when the user takes a video through the electronic device.

[0036] Based on this, in some embodiments, when the camera module is activated, i.e., when the electronic device is in camera mode or during recording, the processor can execute a camera zoom function corresponding to the camera module based on the rotation angle of the rotating ring component 11; while when the camera module is not activated, i.e., when the electronic device is in non-camera mode or non-recording period, the processor can execute other specific functions besides the camera zoom function based on the rotation angle of the rotating ring component 11, such as page turning, page zooming, and magnification / reduction functions. Through the aforementioned design, a more precise and faster operation method can be provided to users, enhancing user interactivity and immersion, especially in the fields of games and multimedia applications.

[0037] In some embodiments, when the processor switches the operating mode of the rotating component 11 according to the device grip gesture, the processor can determine the device grip gesture in various ways. For example, assuming that a gesture confirmation option for the device grip gesture is displayed on the user interface, such as the right-hand grip gesture and the left-hand grip gesture, then the processor can receive and respond to user input initiated by the user based on the gesture confirmation option, and determine the device grip gesture according to the user input, such as the user being able to select a right-hand grip gesture or a left-hand grip gesture based on the gesture confirmation option.

[0038] For example, the electronic device may also include a gesture detection module connected to the processor for detecting device grip signals. In this case, the processor can determine the device grip gesture based on the device grip signal detected by the gesture detection module. That is, by setting the gesture detection module at the device grip position of the electronic device, the processor can use the signal detection function of the gesture detection module to determine whether the user's gripping hand is left or right based on the device grip signal detected by the gesture detection module, and then switch the operation mode of the rotating component according to the left or right hand, so that the user's operation logic for the rotating component matches the user's device grip habits, satisfying the different operating habits of users holding the electronic device with different hands.

[0039] Optionally, the gesture detection module can be a capacitive sensor module, meaning it may include one or more capacitive sensors to detect device grip signals using the touch feedback function of the capacitive sensors. This method of detecting device grip gestures using capacitive sensors can improve detection accuracy and efficiency at the hardware level.

[0040] In some embodiments, the location of the gesture detection module and / or the number of capacitive sensors included in the gesture detection module can be set according to the user's possible hand grip position to achieve efficient detection of device grip signals. For example, in this embodiment, the gesture detection module can be located on the edge of the device body; or, the gesture detection module can also be located on the back panel 12 of the device body, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0041] In some embodiments, when using the gesture detection module to detect device grip signals, the gesture detection module may include, but is not limited to, a first detection module and / or a second detection module. The first detection module and the second detection module are respectively connected to the processor. The first detection module is used to detect right-hand grip gestures, such as detecting the contact position of the user's right-hand fingers, and the second detection module is used to detect left-hand grip gestures, such as detecting the contact position of the user's left-hand fingers. In this embodiment, by separately setting a first detection module for right-hand grip gesture detection and a second detection module for left-hand grip gesture detection, the accuracy of device grip signal detection can be improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first detection module in the gesture detection module may include at least one first capacitive sensor and at least one second capacitive sensor, and the second detection module in the gesture detection module may include at least one third capacitive sensor and at least one fourth capacitive sensor. The first and third capacitive sensors are disposed outside the rotating ring assembly 11, while the second and fourth capacitive sensors are disposed inside the rotating ring assembly 11. In this embodiment, by distributing the capacitive sensors on both the inner and outer sides of the rotating ring assembly, the distribution of the capacitive sensors becomes more uniform, ensuring the reliability of the detection results.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first detection module 15 may include Figure 4 The first capacitive sensor R1, R2, and the second capacitive sensor R3, R4 are shown. The second detection module 16 may include... Figure 4 The third capacitive sensors L1 and L2, and the fourth capacitive sensors L3 and L4 are shown. The first capacitive sensors R1 and R2, and the third capacitive sensors L1 and L2 are disposed outside the rotating ring assembly 11, while the second capacitive sensors R3 and R4, and the fourth capacitive sensors L3 and L4 are disposed inside the rotating ring assembly 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the size and number of capacitive sensors included in the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 may be related to the device holding habits. That is, the setting position and number of capacitive sensors in the first detection module and the second detection module may be, but are not limited to, […]. Figure 4 As shown. For example, the capacitive sensors in the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 may all be located outside the rotating ring assembly 11, or all may be located inside the rotating ring assembly 11, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions here.

[0045] Based on the aforementioned first detection module 15 and second detection module 16, the processor can determine the device grip gesture according to the device grip signal detected by the gesture detection module in various ways. For example, in this embodiment, the processor can determine the device grip gesture as a right-hand grip gesture if the device grip signal detected by the gesture detection module meets a first condition; otherwise, it can determine the device grip gesture as a left-hand grip gesture.

[0046] The first condition may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following conditions 11-14.

[0047] Condition 11: A first device grip signal is detected, but a second device grip signal is not detected. The first device grip signal corresponds to the first detection module 15, and the second device grip signal corresponds to the second detection module 16.

[0048] In other words, the first detection module 15, which is used to detect right-hand grip gestures, detects the device grip signal, while the second detection module 16, which is used to detect left-hand grip gestures, does not detect the device grip signal. Therefore, it can be determined that the device grip gesture is the right-hand grip gesture.

[0049] In some embodiments, for condition 11, if the grip signal detection module does not include the first detection module 15, then during signal detection, it is considered that the first device grip signal is not detected; similarly, if the grip signal detection module does not include the second detection module 16, then during signal detection, it is considered that the second device grip signal is not detected.

[0050] Condition 12: The signal strength of the detected first device grip signal is greater than the signal strength of the second device grip signal. Wherein, the first device grip signal corresponds to the first detection module 15, and the second device grip signal corresponds to the second detection module 16.

[0051] In other words, the first detection module 15, which is used to detect right-hand grip gestures, detects the signal strength of the device grip signal, while the second detection module 16, which is used to detect left-hand grip gestures, does not detect the signal strength of the device grip signal. Therefore, it can be determined that the device grip gesture is the right-hand grip gesture.

[0052] Condition 13: The detection area capable of detecting the first device grip signal is larger than the detection area capable of detecting the second device grip signal. Specifically, the first device grip signal corresponds to the first detection module 15, and the second device grip signal corresponds to the second detection module 16.

[0053] Condition 14: The number of capacitive sensors in the first detection module 15 that can detect the first device grip signal is greater than the number of capacitive sensors in the second detection module 16 that can detect the second device grip signal.

[0054] In some embodiments, assuming that the gesture detection module includes the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16, the setting method or distribution position of the first detection module 15 and / or the second detection module 16 in the gesture detection module may be different depending on the user's grip habits.

[0055] For example, assuming the user's grip habits are as follows Figure 5 As shown, where, Figure 5 (a) represents two possible right-handed grip habits. Figure 5 (b) shows two possible left-hand grip habits. It can be seen that when holding the electronic device with the right hand, the right-hand fingers make more contact with the left detection area of ​​the gesture detection module and almost no contact with the right detection area; conversely, when holding the electronic device with the left hand, the left-hand fingers make more contact with the right detection area of ​​the gesture detection module and almost no contact with the left detection area. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 in the grip gesture detection module are configured as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0056] For example, for Figure 4 Assuming the electronic device is a mobile phone, then when... Figure 5 (a) When the right hand holds the mobile phone, the right index finger attempts to touch the rotating ring component 11 to operate. When the index finger touches the capacitive sensor, the capacitive sensor generates a response signal (i.e., device grip signal) and transmits it to the processor. The processor then determines whether it is a right-hand grip gesture or a left-hand grip gesture based on the response signal. If it is a right-hand grip gesture, the processor can continue to switch the operation logic of the rotating ring component 11 to the right-hand mode to realize the specific function.

[0057] Similarly, such as Figure 5 (b) When the left hand holds the phone, the left index finger attempts to touch the rotating ring assembly 11 to operate. When the index finger touches the capacitive sensor, the capacitive sensor generates a response signal (i.e., a device grip signal) and transmits it to the processor. The processor then determines whether it is a right-hand grip gesture or a left-hand grip gesture based on the response signal. If it is a left-hand grip gesture, the processor can continue to switch the operation logic of the rotating ring assembly 11 to the left-hand mode to achieve the specific function.

[0058] For example, suppose the user's grip habits are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, where, Figure 6 The image shows a right-handed grip, taking into account... Figure 6 Given the typical grip habit, the user's right index finger often uses a diagonal touch gesture detection module. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 in the gesture detection module are configured as follows: Figure 7 As shown, when holding the device with the right hand, the device will mostly touch the capacitive sensors R1, R2, R3, and R4 located diagonally in the gesture detection module; when holding the device with the left hand, the device will mostly touch the capacitive sensors L1, L2, L3, and L4 located diagonally in the gesture detection module.

[0059] For example, for Figure 7 The device's grip can be determined based on the location of the touch capacitor; for example, when... Figure 7 The capacitive sensors R3 and R4 shown have relatively large contact areas, while other capacitive sensors are not touched or have contact areas smaller than R3 and R4. The processor can then determine this as a right-hand grip gesture and switch the operation logic of the rotating ring assembly 11 to right-hand mode to achieve the specific function. The contact area can be understood as the detection area mentioned above.

[0060] Similarly, when Figure 7 The capacitive sensors L3 and L4 shown have a larger contact area, while other capacitive sensors are not touched or have a smaller contact area than L3 and L4. The processor can determine this as a left-hand grip gesture and switch the operation logic of the rotating ring assembly 11 to left-hand mode to achieve the specific function.

[0061] In this embodiment, for the configuration methods of the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 in the aforementioned possible gesture detection modules, one of them can be predefined in the electronic device, and the device grip gesture can be detected based on the defined first detection module 15 and second detection module 16; alternatively, multiple different configuration methods of the first detection module 15 and the second detection module 16 can be configured simultaneously in the electronic device, and then the user can select one according to their own grip habits to detect the device grip gesture. For example, if the user's grip habits are as follows... Figure 5 As shown, then select Figure 4 The settings shown are similar to those based on user grip habits. Figure 6 As shown, then select Figure 7 The configuration shown in this embodiment is not limited to any particular configuration.

[0062] In some embodiments, the location of the capacitive sensor in the first detection module 15 may be symmetrical to the location of the capacitive sensor in the second detection module 16, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the gesture detection signal.

[0063] In some embodiments, considering the use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, in addition to the aforementioned Figures 3-7 In addition to the portrait mode shown, users also typically use the landscape mode, for example... Figure 8 As shown. Therefore, in the landscape mode, when determining the device grip gesture of the electronic device in this embodiment, the device grip gesture can be determined by detecting the relative position of the camera module or the rotating ring assembly 11 on the electronic device in the landscape mode.

[0064] For example, if the relative position of the camera module or rotating assembly 11 on the electronic device is determined to be in the left-side region of the electronic device, the device holding gesture can be determined to be a left-hand holding gesture. Figure 8 As shown.

[0065] Correspondingly, if the relative position of the camera module or rotating assembly 11 on the electronic device is determined to be in the right-side region of the electronic device, the device holding gesture can be determined to be a right-hand holding gesture.

[0066] The aforementioned left and right areas are determined based on the user's perspective in landscape mode.

[0067] In this embodiment, a method for determining the device grip gesture in landscape mode is further provided, which enables the operation mode of the rotating component to match the device grip habit, meets the different operation needs of users when holding electronic devices with different hands (such as left or right hand), and realizes the needs of convenient operation and personalized experience in landscape mode.

[0068] In addition, compared to the portrait mode, the gesture detection module can be left unactivated in the landscape mode to detect the device grip signal, thus avoiding the power consumption caused by activating the gesture detection module.

[0069] In some embodiments, for landscape mode, the relative position of the camera module or the rotating assembly on the electronic device can be determined by a horizontal sensor such as a gyroscope, or the relative position of the camera module or the rotating assembly 11 on the electronic device can also be determined by detecting the finger touch position using a capacitive sensor or the like, without limitation.

[0070] In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of determining the device grip gesture and avoid the problem of misjudging the grip gesture, in this embodiment, the terminal may first determine the usage mode of the electronic device, such as portrait mode or landscape mode, before determining the device grip gesture, and then determine the device grip gesture according to the usage mode of the electronic device.

[0071] For example, if the usage mode is determined to be landscape mode, the device holding gesture can be further determined by detecting the relative position of the camera module or the rotating ring assembly 11 on the electronic device and based on the relative position of the camera module or the rotating ring assembly 11 on the electronic device.

[0072] For example, if the usage mode is determined to be a portrait mode, the device grip signal can be further detected by the gesture detection module, and the device grip mode can be determined based on the device grip signal detected by the gesture detection module.

[0073] In this embodiment, by determining the usage mode of the electronic device, the accuracy of determining the grip gesture of the device can be further improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, the usage mode of the electronic device can be determined by detection using, but is not limited to, a horizontal sensor such as a gyroscope.

[0075] In some embodiments, the activation conditions of the aforementioned gesture detection module may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following conditions 21-22.

[0076] Condition 21: The application adapted to the rotating component is launched. That is, when the user opens an application adapted to the rotating component, the gesture detection module can be activated. The application includes or has the aforementioned specific functions.

[0077] Condition 22: The electronic device moves. That is, the gesture detection module can be activated when the electronic device moves. Whether the electronic device is moving can be detected by, but is not limited to, a horizontal sensor such as a gyroscope installed on the electronic device.

[0078] In this embodiment, by setting the conditions 21-22 above, the energy consumption caused by the activation of the gesture detection module or gesture detection can be avoided in scenarios where the gesture detection module does not need to be activated, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of the electronic device.

[0079] In some embodiments, after determining the device grip gesture, target information may be displayed on the user interface to help the user understand the operating mode or operating logic of the rotating component in the electronic device. The target information is used to indicate at least one of the following 11)-13).

[0080] 11) The determined device grip gesture enables the user to determine whether the actual device grip gesture is consistent with the device grip gesture determined by the electronic device, thus ensuring the user's user experience.

[0081] 12) Based on the device grip gesture, the operation mode of the rotating ring component after switching is such as right-hand mode and left-hand mode, so that the user can clearly understand the operation mode of the rotating ring component and ensure the user's user experience.

[0082] 13) The operation logic corresponding to the operation mode of the rotating component. For example, assuming that the specific function is a page-turning function and the operation mode is a right-hand mode, then the operation logic can be: if the rotating component is rotated clockwise, the page will turn down; otherwise, the page will turn up.

[0083] In some embodiments, after displaying the target information, the processor may also cancel the display of the target information on the user interface if it determines that a second condition is met. For example, the target information can be displayed via a system pop-up window to avoid the impact on the user experience due to prolonged display of the target information. The second condition may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following conditions 31-32.

[0084] Condition 31: The display duration of the target information reaches a predetermined value. The predetermined value can be 1 second, 2 seconds, etc., and is not limited here.

[0085] Condition 32: Receive and respond to a user action for canceling the display of the target information. In other words, the user can manually cancel the display of the target information.

[0086] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown in (a), when the processor determines that the device grip gesture is a right-hand grip gesture, it can display target information in the notification bar of the user interface, such as "right-hand grip gesture, enter right-hand mode," i.e., "R" displayed in 9(a), and deepen the operation logic reminder by rotating the arrow counterclockwise. This target information can gradually disappear after being displayed for 2 seconds. Or, as shown in (a), Figure 9As shown in (b), when the processor determines that the device grip gesture is a left-hand grip gesture, it can display target information in the notification bar of the user interface, such as left-hand grip gesture, enter left-hand mode, i.e. "L" displayed in 9(b), and deepen the operation logic reminder by rotating the arrow clockwise. The target information can gradually disappear after being displayed for 2 seconds.

[0087] The aforementioned electronic device provided in this application can achieve, but is not limited to, the following technical effects.

[0088] 1. This application provides a new interaction method through device grip gesture recognition and rotary control of the rotating ring component, which helps to improve user experience, meet users' needs for convenient operation and personalized experience, and has broad application potential in the market of smart devices such as mobile phones.

[0089] 2. Assistive technology market: For those with special needs, this application simplifies the operation of electronic devices through ingenious structural design, while also providing physical feedback to users, such as displaying target information, thereby improving the user experience, especially for users with special needs, such as the elderly or disabled.

[0090] 3. This application provides a more precise and faster operation method through the knob control of the rotating component, enhancing user interactivity and immersion, especially in games and multimedia applications.

[0091] 4. This application can be applied to smart devices such as smartwatches and health monitoring devices to provide these devices with a variety of interaction methods.

[0092] Based on the aforementioned electronic devices, such as Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment also provides a flowchart illustrating a control method for an electronic device, which can be executed by the electronic device. For example, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the electronic device. Figure 10 As shown, the method may include the following steps.
