[0078] When the foldable terminal 1000 is installed on the wearable structure 2000, the foldable terminal 1000 can have states such as folded installation, inward bending installation, and flattened installation.

[0079] Please see Figure 11 When installed in the folded state, the first surface 711 is the exposed surface of the foldable terminal 1000. The first surface 711 is provided with a first display screen 210 so that the foldable terminal 1000 can display a small screen when installed in the folded state.

[0080] When the folded-in configuration is in place, if the first main body 710 is raised towards the user's eyes, the first display screen 210 on the first surface 711 can still function as a working display screen, allowing the foldable terminal 1000 to display on a small screen when in the folded-in configuration. If the first main body 710 is raised away from the user's eyes, one or both of the second surface 712 and the third surface 721 can function as a working display screen, allowing the foldable terminal 1000 to display on a large screen when in the folded-in configuration.

[0081] Please see Figure 12 In the flattened state, the second surface 712 and the third surface 721 are flattened and coplanar. Two parts of the flexible folding screen can be set on the second surface 712 and the third surface 721 so that the foldable terminal 1000 can display a large screen in the flattened state.

[0082] Optional, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 12The receiving groove 530 has a through hole 531 at its bottom. The second main body 720 has a protrusion 740 on the side opposite to the first main body 710. The protrusion 740 is disposed in the through hole 531. On the one hand, the surface of the protrusion 740 opposite to the first main body 710 can be flush with or protrude from the bottom surface of the base 520, so that when the wearable electronic device 10000 is worn, the protrusion 740 fits against the human skin, so that the detection component on the protrusion 740 can perform detection; on the other hand, the protrusion 740 is disposed in the through hole 531, which can embed the second main body 720 deeper into the base 520 and further reduce the thickness of the foldable terminal 1000 after it is installed with the base 520.

[0083] Optional, please refer to Figure 13 The foldable terminal 1000 further includes at least one detection component 600. The detection component 600 is disposed on the protrusion 740.

[0084] The protrusion 740 is exposed through the through hole 531 to the base 520. A detection component 600 is provided on or inside the protrusion 740 so that the detection component 600 can send signals to the human body through the protrusion 740 to detect the human body's biological signals, including but not limited to blood oxygen signals, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.

[0085] The detection component 600 includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: blood oxygen detection component, heart rate detection component, and blood pressure detection component.

[0086] In the first alternative implementation, please refer to Figure 14 The protrusion 740 is a camera decorative element 410. Generally, the rear cover 400 of the foldable terminal 1000 is provided with a camera decorative element 410. This camera decorative element 410 is used to mount a camera lens, etc. At least a portion of the camera decorative element 410 protrudes from the rear cover 400.

[0087] In this embodiment, please refer to the relevant documentation. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The camera decorative piece 410 of the foldable terminal 1000 is installed in the through hole 531 of the base 520. The shape and depth of the through hole 531 are designed to match the shape and depth of the camera decorative piece 410. After the camera decorative piece 410 of the foldable terminal 1000 is installed in the through hole 531 of the base 520, the surface of the camera decorative piece 410 is flush with or protrudes from the bottom surface of the base 520. The camera decorative piece 410 is reused as the aforementioned protrusion 740, eliminating the need for an additional protrusion 740. This also facilitates the consistency of the appearance of the foldable terminal 1000 when it is used in the disassembled state and reduces the abrupt feeling when holding it.

[0088] Further optional information can be found in [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 14 The detection component 600 is disposed on the camera decorative piece 410. When the detection component 600 is a component that receives and transmits light signals, the camera decorative piece 410 also includes a detection light-transmitting plate 411, and the detection component 600 is disposed in a position directly opposite the detection light-transmitting plate 411 so that the detection component 600 can emit or receive light signals through the detection light-transmitting plate 411 to monitor the user's biosignals.

[0089] Optional, please refer to Figure 14 The detection component 600 includes a signal transmitter 610 and a signal receiver 620. The signal transmitter 610 includes a light-emitting element. The signal transmitter 610 emits light signals to the human body, and the signal receiver 620 receives the light signals reflected by the human body to perform human biometric detection.

[0090] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 14 The protrusion 740 is a camera decorative element 410. The foldable terminal 1000 also includes a flash 630. The flash 630 is positioned directly opposite the camera decorative element 410.

[0091] The flash 630 is the light-emitting element. In other words, the flash 630 can be reused as a signal transmitter 610. When the protrusion 740 contacts the human body, the flash 630 emits a light signal to the human body, and the signal receiver 620 receives the reflected light signal.

[0092] In this embodiment, by reusing the flash 630 as the signal transmitter 610 of the detection component 600, the devices near the camera decoration 410 can be further reused. In addition to realizing the function of detecting biometrics in the foldable terminal 1000, the number of devices can be further reduced, saving space and cost.

[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, the signal transmitter 610 can be installed separately. Optionally, the signal transmitter 610 may be, but is not limited to, an LED light source. The signal receiver 620 may be, but is not limited to, a photosensor. Further optionally, when the detection component 600 is used to detect human blood oxygenation characteristics, the signal transmitter 610 may be, but is not limited to, at least one of a green light source, a red light source, and an IR light source, and the signal receiver 620 may be, but is not limited to, at least one of a green light source, a red light source, and an IR light source.

[0094] Please see Figure 15 The camera module positioned directly opposite the camera decorative piece 410 is multiplexed as a signal receiver 620.

[0095] For example, please see Figure 15The foldable terminal 1000 also includes a first camera module 810. The first camera module 810 is positioned opposite the protrusion 740. When the protrusion 740 is a camera decorative piece 410, the camera decorative piece 410 is provided with a first light-transmitting part 412, and the first camera module 810 is positioned opposite the first light-transmitting part 412 to receive light signals and capture images through the first light-transmitting part 412.

[0096] Further, please refer to Figure 15 The first camera module 810 can also function as a signal receiver 620 of the detection component 600. Upon receiving a detection command, when the signal transmitter 610 of the detection component 600 emits a light signal to the human body, the first camera module 810 receives the light signal reflected by the human body and analyzes the light signal to obtain the human biometric features. When the detection component 600 detects human blood oxygenation characteristics, the signal transmitter 610 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a green light source, a red light source, and an IR light source, and the signal receiver 620 may include, but is not limited to, a photosensor in the first camera module 810.

[0097] In this embodiment, by reusing the photosensitive sensor in the first camera module 810 as the signal receiver 620 of the detection component 600, the devices near the camera decorative piece 410 can be further reused. In addition to realizing the function of detecting biometrics in the foldable terminal 1000, the number of devices can be further reduced, saving space and cost.

[0098] This application also provides a detection method for detecting human biometrics. This detection method is applied to the wearable electronic device 10000 described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0099] The detection method includes:

[0100] Based on the foldable terminal 1000 installed on the wearable structure 2000, the wearable electronic device 10000 is in a wearable state and receives a detection command. The processor of the foldable terminal 1000 controls the signal transmitter 610 of the detection component 600 to emit light signals according to the detection command, and controls the signal receiver 620 of the detection component 600 to receive the reflected light signals, and obtains biological signals based on the light signals received by the signal receiver 620.

[0101] In an optional implementation, the detection method includes:

[0102] Based on the foldable terminal 1000 installed on the wearable structure 2000, the wearable electronic device 10000 is in a wearable state and receives a detection command. The processor of the foldable terminal 1000 controls the flash lamp 630 to emit light signals according to the detection command, and controls the signal receiver 620 of the detection component 600 to receive the reflected light signals, and obtains biological signals based on the light signals received by the signal receiver 620.

[0103] In an optional implementation, the detection method includes:

[0104] Based on the foldable terminal 1000 installed on the wearable structure 2000, the wearable electronic device 10000 is in a wearable state and receives a detection command. The processor of the foldable terminal 1000 controls the signal transmitter 610 of the detection component 600 to emit light signals according to the detection command, and controls the first camera module 810 to receive the reflected light signals, and obtains biological signals based on the light signals received by the first camera module 810.

[0105] In an optional implementation, the detection method includes:

[0106] Based on the foldable terminal 1000 installed on the wearable structure 2000, the wearable electronic device 10000 is in a wearable state and receives a detection command. The processor of the foldable terminal 1000 controls the flash 630 to emit light signals according to the detection command, and controls the first camera module 810 to receive the reflected light signals, and obtains biological signals based on the light signals received by the first camera module 810.

[0107] Understandably, when the first camera module 810 acts as a signal receiver 620 of the detection component 600, the image obtained by the first camera module 810 will not be displayed on the working display screen.

[0108] Optionally, the first surface 711 has a first display screen 210. The second surface 712 has a second display screen 220. The third surface 721 has a third display screen 230.

[0109] Please see Figure 16 The foldable terminal 1000 further includes a display switching module 910. The display switching module 910 is electrically connected to the first display screen 210, the second display screen 220, and the third display screen 230. The display switching module 910 is used to determine the working display screen among the first display screen 210, the second display screen 220, and the third display screen 230 according to the orientation of the foldable terminal 1000. The working display screen is the display screen performing the current display task. Other non-working display screens can be in a turned-off state. There can be one or more working display screens.

[0110] In this embodiment, a display switching module 910 is designed to electrically connect the first display screen 210, the second display screen 220, and the third display screen 230. The display switching module 910 is used to determine the working display screen among the first display screen 210, the second display screen 220, and the third display screen 230 according to the posture of the foldable terminal 1000. This allows for flexible switching of the display screen based on the posture of the foldable terminal 1000, enabling screen display in various usage postures (e.g., folded state, inward bending state, flattened state, outward bending state, etc.). Specifically, when the foldable terminal 1000 is mounted on the wearable structure 2000, it can display screen in all usage postures (e.g., folded state, inward bending state, flattened state, etc.).

[0111] The fourth surface 722 is the surface facing the bottom of the receiving groove 530. The fourth surface 722 may also be equipped with a fourth display screen. When the foldable terminal 1000 is in the detached and folded state, the fourth display screen can be used as a small screen.

[0112] Furthermore, the protrusion 740 is provided on the fourth surface 722. Alternatively, when the protrusion 740 serves as a camera decorative element 410, the camera decorative element 410 is provided on the fourth surface 722.

[0113] In one optional embodiment, the display switching module 910 is used to determine that the first display screen 210 is a working display screen based on the foldable terminal 1000 being in a folded state.

[0114] Specifically, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a detached / folded state, the display switching module 910 determines that the first display screen 210 is the working display screen. Of course, in other embodiments, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a detached / folded state, the display switching module 910 determines that the fourth display screen is the working display screen.

[0115] Please see Figure 16 The foldable terminal 1000 also includes an attitude detector 940, which is used to detect the relative position of the first surface 711 and the fourth surface 722 when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled and folded state. When the relative position of the first surface 711 is higher than that of the fourth surface 722, the first display screen 210 is determined to be a working display screen. When the relative position of the fourth surface 722 is higher than that of the first surface 711, the fourth display screen is determined to be a working display screen.

[0116] Specifically, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in the folded installation state, the display switching module 910 determines that the first display screen 210 is the working display screen.

[0117] Further, please refer to Figure 16 The wearable electronic device 10000 also includes a disassembly / assembly detection component 950. The disassembly / assembly detection component 950 may be located entirely on the base 520, entirely on the foldable terminal 1000, or partially on the base 520 and partially on the foldable terminal 1000. The disassembly / assembly detection component 950 is used to detect whether the foldable terminal 1000 is installed on the base 520 or not. In other words, the disassembly / assembly detection component 950 is used to detect whether the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled or installed state.

[0118] Optionally, the disassembly and assembly detection component 950 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a pressure detector, a light detector, an electrical signal detector, a Hall sensor, etc.

[0119] In one optional embodiment, the display switching module 910 is used to determine the second display screen 220 and / or the third display screen 230 as working display screens based on the fact that the foldable terminal 1000 is in a bent state.

[0120] Optionally, there may be multiple attitude detectors 940, with one attitude detector 940 located on the first body 710 and another attitude sensor located on the second body 720. The two attitude detectors 940 detect the relative position between the first body 710 and the second body 720, thereby determining the bending angle of the foldable terminal 1000.

[0121] Of course, in other embodiments, the bending angle between the first body 710 and the second body 720 can also be detected by a position sensor, an angle sensor, etc.

[0122] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled, inwardly bent state, the display switching module 910 determines that the second display screen 220 and / or the third display screen 230 are the working display screens. For example, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled, inwardly bent state, the display switching module 910 determines that the second display screen 220 and the third display screen 230 are the working display screens.

[0123] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled outward bending state, the display switching module 910 determines that the second display screen 220 and / or the third display screen 230 are the working display screens. For example, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled inward bending state, the display switching module 910 determines that the second display screen 220 and the third display screen 230 are the working display screens.

[0124] Specifically, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a bent installation state, the display switching module 910 determines that the second display screen 220 and / or the third display screen 230 are the working display screens. If the first main body 710 is raised towards the side away from the user's eyes, one or both of the second surface 712 and the third surface 721 can be the working display screen, so that the foldable terminal 1000 can display on a large screen in the bent installation state.

[0125] If the first main body 710 is raised toward the side where the user's eyes are located, the first display screen 210 on the first surface 711 can still be a working display screen so that the foldable terminal 1000 can display a small screen in the inward bending state of the installation.

[0126] In one optional implementation, the display switching module 910 is used to determine the second display screen 220 and the third display screen 230 as working display screens based on the fact that the foldable terminal 1000 is in a flattened state.

[0127] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in a disassembled and flattened state, the display switching module 910 determines the second display screen 220 and the third display screen 230 as working display screens for large-screen display in the disassembled state.

[0128] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in the flattened installation state, the display switching module 910 determines the second display screen 220 and the third display screen 230 as working display screens for large-screen display in the installed state.

[0129] Optional, please refer to Figure 17 The foldable terminal 1000 also includes a second camera module 820.

[0130] The second camera module 820 is disposed within the first body 710 and faces the first surface 711. Optionally, the second camera module 820 may be disposed in the first body 710 at a position away from the second body 720. When the first body 710 and the second body 720 are in a flattened state, the first camera module 810 and the second camera module 820 have the same orientation.

[0131] Please see Figure 18The foldable terminal 1000 also includes a shooting switching module 930. The shooting switching module 930 is electrically connected to the second camera module 820. The shooting switching module 930 is also electrically connected to the aforementioned attitude detector 940 and disassembly / removal detection component 950.

[0132] The shooting switching module 930 is used to determine the working camera based on the orientation of the foldable terminal 1000. The working camera is the camera module performing the current shooting task. Further, the shooting switching module 930 is used to determine the working camera based on the orientation of the foldable terminal 1000 when the foldable terminal 1000 is in the installed state. The working camera is the camera module performing the current shooting task.

[0133] This embodiment flexibly switches the camera module for the current shooting task by setting a shooting switching module 930, so that the user can obtain the corresponding shooting images in different postures of the foldable terminal 1000.

[0134] Optionally, the shooting switching module 930 is used to determine that the second camera module 820 is a working camera when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a folded state and in front-facing shooting mode. Further, the shooting switching module 930 is used to determine that the second camera module 820 is a working camera when the foldable terminal 1000 is in an installed folded state and in front-facing shooting mode.

[0135] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in the folded installation state, the first surface 711 is the exposed surface. Therefore, the second camera module 820 can be used as a working camera in the front shooting mode. At the same time, the first display screen 210 can be used as a working display screen for displaying images in the front shooting mode.

[0136] Optionally, the shooting switching module 930 is further configured to determine that the second camera module 820 is a working camera when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a bent state and in rear shooting mode. Further, the shooting switching module 930 is configured to determine that the second camera module 820 is a working camera when the foldable terminal 1000 is in an installed bent state, the first main body 710 is raised towards the side away from the user's eyes, and in rear shooting mode.

[0137] When the foldable terminal 1000 is in a bent installation state, the first surface 711 is the side facing away from the user. Therefore, the second camera module 820 can be used as a working camera in the rear shooting mode. At the same time, the second display screen 220 and / or the third display screen 230 can be used as working display screens for displaying images in the rear shooting mode.

[0138] Optionally, the base 520 is rotatably connected to the wearable device 510. In other words, the base 520 can rotate 360° on the wearable device 510. Furthermore, when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a bent installation state and the first main body 710 is raised towards the side closest to the user's eyes, the base 520 can be rotated so that the first main body 710 faces away from the user. When the foldable terminal 1000 is in a flattened state, it can be in a horizontally flattened state or a vertically flattened state to achieve different viewing modes in wearable scenarios.

[0139] Optional, please refer to Figure 19 The foldable terminal 1000 further includes a third camera module 830. The third camera module 830 is disposed on the second main body 720. The third camera module 830 faces the third surface 721.

[0140] Please see Figure 20 The third camera module 830 is electrically connected to the shooting switching module 930. The shooting switching module 930 is used to determine that the third camera module 830 is a working camera when the foldable terminal 1000 is in a flattened state (installed flattened state or disassembled flattened state) and in front-facing shooting mode.

[0141] This embodiment flexibly switches the camera module for the current shooting task by setting a shooting switching module 930, so that the user can obtain the corresponding shooting images in different postures of the foldable terminal 1000.

[0142] Please see Figure 21 and Figure 22 The foldable terminal 1000 further includes a third body 750. The third body 750 is rotatably connected to the side of the second body 720 opposite to the first body 710. The third body 750 includes a fifth surface 751 and a sixth surface 752 disposed opposite to each other. The fifth surface 751 and / or the sixth surface 752 have a display screen.

[0143] In other words, the foldable terminal 1000 can have two folding bodies, or more than two folding bodies.

[0144] When there are three folding bodies, namely the first body 710, the second body 720, and the third body 750, which can be folded sequentially, in conjunction with the aforementioned embodiments, a protrusion 740 is further provided on the second body 720. The second surface 712 of the first body 710, the third surface 721 of the second body 720, and the fifth surface 751 of the third body 750 can form a complete foldable screen. A fourth display screen can be provided on the third body 750. The protrusion 740 can be provided on the second body 720 so that when the second body 720 is installed on the base 520, the protrusion 740 and the through hole 531 cooperate with each other. A detection component 600 can be provided on the protrusion 740 for detecting heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, etc. A front-facing camera (facing the second surface 712) and a rear-facing camera (facing the first surface 711) can be provided on the first body 710. When the foldable terminal 1000 is in its folded state, the second main body 720, the third main body 750, and the first main body 710 are stacked sequentially. The rear camera of the first main body 710 can serve as the front camera of the foldable terminal 1000 in its folded state. The first display screen 210 on the first main body 710 can serve as a small screen display for the foldable terminal 1000 in its folded state. When the first main body 710 is in its bent state, the camera facing the second surface 712 serves as the front camera, and the camera facing the first surface 711 serves as the rear camera. By changing the bending angle of the first main body 710 relative to the second main body 720, the shooting angles of the front and rear cameras can be changed, enabling multi-angle shooting.

[0145] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of folding bodies can be more than three.

[0146] Optionally, the bending axis of the folding body includes the width direction and the length direction. The folding body is folded once in the length direction and once in the width direction to obtain a folding shape with a smaller area.

[0147] The foldable terminal 1000 can be a foldable phone. Generally, foldable phones can both expand the screen and shrink the size for easy portability, greatly improving the convenience of daily use. Current foldable phones include large folds and small folds. Large foldable phones provide a larger screen area when unfolded, allowing users to have a better visual experience in scenarios such as multitasking, watching videos, and playing games; while small foldable phones are about the size of a large matchbox when folded, making them easy to carry.

[0148] However, wearing a phone is inconvenient in scenarios such as sports, hiking, or beach activities. Currently, people need to place their phones in other locations in such scenarios, thus making it impossible to stay online in real time.

[0149] The wearable electronic device 10000 provided in this application mounts or detaches a foldable terminal 1000 onto a base 520 of a wearable structure 2000. Taking a foldable phone as an example, the foldable phone can fold inward or unfold. The top of the foldable phone has a small screen, the middle folded surface has a large screen, and the bottom is mounted on the base 520. A health detector can be installed on the bottom of the foldable phone to detect human physiological signals. The foldable phone can be detached and unfolded, or it can be unfolded while mounted on the base 520. The foldable phone can unfold along its length or along its width. Watch straps are mounted on both sides of the base 520 for wearing on the user's arm; a buckle mechanism is installed on both sides of the base 520 to achieve a detachable connection to the foldable phone. When the foldable phone is mounted on the base 520, it can be locked in place; when the user needs to remove the foldable phone, they can press the button on the buckle mechanism to detach the foldable phone from the base 520.

[0150] This application proposes a watch-style foldable phone, in which the phone is folded and mounted on the base 520 of the wearable structure 2000. Watch straps are installed at both ends of the base 520, so that it can be worn on the user's arm at all times. It can be detached and unfolded for daily use as a regular candybar phone, or worn on the arm at all times for easy carrying, or used as a watch, which can greatly improve the convenience of using the phone.

[0151] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application, and such improvements and refinements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this application.
