Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and more specifically to a foldable electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the technological advancements in components such as flexible displays, the form factor (ID) of electronic devices (such as mobile phones) is trending towards foldable designs, moving away from candybar phones. Foldable phones offer a large screen when open, fully satisfying consumers' visual experience, while remaining compact and portable when closed. These foldable electronic devices are gaining popularity. However, this foldable design also presents new challenges for antenna design (such as low-frequency antennas). Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a foldable electronic device to improve the antenna performance of the foldable electronic device.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a foldable electronic device, including:

[0005] First subject;

[0006] The second main body is connected to the first main body; the first and second main bodies can move relative to each other to a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0007] First sound hole and second sound hole;

[0008] First antenna and second antenna;

[0009] The first sound outlet is located on the first side of the electronic device in the unfolded state, and the second sound outlet is located on the second or third side of the electronic device in the unfolded state; the first side is adjacent to the second side, the first side is adjacent to the third side, and the second side and the third side are opposite to each other.

[0010] When the electronic device is in the deployed state, the first sound outlet is operational, and at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna is operational.

[0011] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second sound hole is operational, and at least one of the first and second antennas is operational.

[0012] In this embodiment of the application, the foldable electronic device is provided with a first sound outlet and a second sound outlet. The first sound outlet is located on a first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet is located on a second or third side facing a different direction from the first side. Thus, when switching the electronic device from using the first sound outlet to using the second sound outlet, or vice versa, the electronic device needs to be rotated to facilitate user access to either the first or second sound outlet. Alternatively, from the folded state (… Figure 2b ) to unfolded state ( Figure 1 Alternatively, to facilitate the use of the sound outlet, the user needs to rotate the electronic device from the unfolded state to the folded state. When using the first or second sound outlet, at least one of the first and second antennas can operate. For example, if one antenna is blocked, the other antenna can be used, thereby improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound outlets and enhancing the user experience of the foldable electronic device.

[0013] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, both the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located on the first body; or, the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located on the first body and the second body, respectively; the first antenna is located on the second side, and the second antenna is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in the deployed state; the fourth side is opposite to the first side, adjacent to the second side, and adjacent to the third side; or, the first antenna is located on the third side, and the second antenna is located on the fourth side; or, the first antenna and the second antenna are located on the second side and the third side, respectively; or, the first antenna and the second antenna are located on the second side or the third side simultaneously, and the first antenna and the second antenna are located on the first body and the second body, respectively.

[0014] In this way, the electronic device can operate using different sound output ports in different states, thereby meeting the audio signal output requirements of users of the foldable electronic device and improving the user experience. Furthermore, when using the first or second sound output port, at least one of the first and second antennas can operate, improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound output ports and enhancing the user experience.

[0015] The fact that both the first and second sound outlets are located on the first body can improve the structural compactness of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can share a sound leakage cancellation structure, further reducing the size of the electronic device. Alternatively, the first and second sound outlets can be located on different bodies of the electronic device, which can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound outlet on the second body can reduce the space occupied by the first body and reduce the implementation complexity of the first body.

[0016] Placing the first and second antennas on different sides of the electronic device, or on the same side but on different parts of the device, can reduce mutual interference between the first and second antennas and reduce the possibility of users simultaneously blocking both antennas. This further improves the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound output holes, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0017] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a third antenna is also included, wherein both the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located in the first body; or, the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located in the first body and the second body, respectively.

[0018] The third antenna is located on the first side, and the second antenna is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in the deployed state; the first antenna is located on the second or third side, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0019] Alternatively, the third antenna is located on the first side, and the first antenna and the second antenna are located on the second and third sides, respectively.

[0020] Alternatively, the third antenna is located on the first side, and the first antenna and the second antenna are simultaneously located on the second side or the third side, with the first antenna and the second antenna located on the first main body and the second main body, respectively.

[0021] Alternatively, the third antenna is located on the fourth side, and the first and second antennas are located on the second and third sides, respectively.

[0022] Alternatively, the third antenna is located on the fourth side, and the first antenna and the second antenna are simultaneously located on the second or third side, with the first antenna and the second antenna located on the first main body and the second main body, respectively.

[0023] By incorporating three antennas on different sides of the electronic device, the probability of the user blocking the antennas during use can be reduced, thereby improving the signal quality. Furthermore, the fact that both the first and second sound outlets are located on the first main body enhances the device's structural compactness. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 can share a leakage cancellation structure with the second sound outlet 13, further reducing the size of the electronic device.

[0024] Alternatively, the first and second sound holes can be located on different parts of the electronic device. This can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound hole on the second part can reduce the space occupied by the first part and reduce the implementation complexity of the first part.

[0025] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a third antenna and a fourth antenna are also included; the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located in the first body; or, the first sound hole and the second sound hole are located in the first body and the second body, respectively.

[0026] The first antenna is located on the second side, the second antenna is located on the fourth side of the deployed electronic device, the third antenna is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna is located on the third side; the fourth side is opposite to the first side, adjacent to the second side, and adjacent to the third side.

[0027] Alternatively, the first antenna is located on the third side, the second antenna is located on the fourth side, the third antenna is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna is located on the third side, with the first antenna and the fourth antenna located on the first main body and the second main body, respectively.

[0028] Alternatively, the first antenna is located on the second side, the second antenna is located on the fourth side, the third antenna is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna is located on the second side, with the first antenna and the fourth antenna located on the first main body and the second main body, respectively.

[0029] By setting up four antennas, and placing them on different sides of the electronic device, the probability of the user blocking the antennas during use can be reduced, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0030] The fact that both the first and second sound outlets are located on the first body can improve the structural compactness of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can share a sound leakage cancellation structure, further reducing the size of the electronic device. Alternatively, the first and second sound outlets can be located on different bodies of the electronic device, which can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound outlet on the second body can reduce the space occupied by the first body and reduce the implementation complexity of the first body.

[0031] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, when the second sound outlet is located in the second body, the second antenna is located on the fourth side closer to the second sound outlet. This reduces the probability of the user obstructing the second antenna while using the electronic device, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0032] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the first antenna is positioned close to the first side. This reduces the probability of the user obstructing the first antenna while using the electronic device, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0033] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the third antenna is located on the side of the first side closer to the third side. This reduces the probability of the user obstructing the third antenna while using the electronic device, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0034] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the fourth antenna is positioned close to the fourth side. This reduces interference between antennas and improves the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0035] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the first antenna and the second antenna are located in the first main body and the second main body, respectively. This reduces interference between the first antenna and the second antenna, improves the signal quality of the first antenna and the second antenna, and consequently improves the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0036] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the signal reception level of the active antenna among the first and second antennas is not lower than the signal reception level of the inactive antenna. That is, selecting the antenna with the higher signal reception level among the first and second antennas as the active antenna ensures signal reception quality and improves the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0037] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the first antenna, the second antenna, the third antenna, and the fourth antenna can all be low-frequency antennas to improve the antenna performance of the low-frequency band antennas of the foldable electronic device, thereby improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device.

[0038] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, both the first and second sound holes are earpieces, so that users can use different earpieces according to their usage habits when the electronic device is in an unfolded or folded state, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0039] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first side is located at the top of the electronic device and the second side is located at the side of the electronic device.

[0040] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the first side is located on the side of the electronic device, and the second side is located on the top or bottom of the electronic device, so as to facilitate the user to use different sound holes in the unfolded and folded states, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0041] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, when the electronic device is in the deployed state, the first sound outlet is operational, and the operation of at least one of the first and second antennas includes:

[0042] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state and making a call connection, the first sound outlet is activated, and at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna is activated.

[0043] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second sound outlet is operational, and the operation of at least one of the first and second antennas includes:

[0044] When the electronic device is in a folded state and making a call, the second sound port is activated, and at least one of the first and second antennas is activated.

[0045] In this way, during calls, users can select different sound output ports to operate in the unfolded and folded states of the electronic device, providing greater convenience. Furthermore, at least one of the first and second antennas can function; for example, if one antenna is blocked, the other can be used, thereby improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound output ports and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the number of antennas on the first body is the same as the number of antennas on the second body. This evenly distributing multiple antennas on the first and second bodies reduces the implementation complexity of the first and second bodies and further reduces the probability of users blocking the antennas of the electronic device during use, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the foldable electronic device according to the present application in the first embodiment. Figure 2a and Figure 2b yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the foldable electronic device in another usage state. Figure 3 yes Figure 2a and Figure 2b The diagram shows the structure of the foldable electronic device from another angle. Figure 1 The foldable electronic device shown is illustrated using a mobile phone as an example.

[0069] The foldable electronic device 100 includes a first main body 10 and a second main body 20. Multiple antennas can be distributed within the first main body 10 and the second main body 20. The foldable electronic device 100 can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state through relative movement between the first main body 10 and the second main body 20. For example, the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 can move relative to each other to a folded state and also to an unfolded state. That is, the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. Figure 1 This corresponds to the unfolded state of the foldable electronic device 100. (Figure 2 and...) Figure 3 This corresponds to the folded state of the foldable electronic device 100.

[0070] Optionally, the foldable electronic device 100 also includes a sensing device 30. The sensing device 30 is located on the first body 10 and / or the second body 20. The sensing device 30 is used to sense whether the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in a closed or open state. The sensing device 30 is electrically connected to the processor 40 of the foldable electronic device 100. The processor 40 is located on the first body 10 and / or the second body 20. The processor 40 of the foldable electronic device 100 receives the detection signal from the sensing device 30 and, based on the signal, sends corresponding control signals to other components of the foldable electronic device 100, enabling other components of the foldable electronic device 100 to adjust to the corresponding operating mode in a timely manner according to whether the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in a folded or unfolded state, thereby improving the reliability of the foldable electronic device 100 and enhancing the user experience. The sensing device 30 may include one or more of a gyroscope sensor, a Hall sensor, or a proximity sensor.

[0071] Optionally, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can have various connection relationships, such as a rotational connection, a sliding connection, or a detachable snap-fit ​​connection. In this embodiment, the first body 10 is rotatedly connected to the second body 20 as an example. For example, the foldable electronic device 100 also includes a rotating portion 50. The rotating portion 50 connects the first body 10 and the second body 20. The rotating portion 50 can deform to allow the first body 10 and the second body 20 to rotate relative to each other for folding or unfolding. Figure 1 As shown, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other to unfold to the open state, the rotating part 50 is located between the first body 10 and the second body 20, and the rotating part 50 is located in the central region of the foldable electronic device 100. The rotating part 50 being located in the central region of the foldable electronic device 100 means that the centerline of the rotating part 50 largely coincides with the centerline of the foldable electronic device 100 (slight deviation is allowed). The rotating part 50 extends along the first direction X, and the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other around the first direction X. At this time, as... Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 3 As shown, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in a folded state, the first body 10 overlaps with the second body 20, and the border 101 of the first body 10 completely overlaps with the border 201 of the second body 20. At this time, the border 101 of the first body 10 and the border 201 of the second body 20 are completely opposite to each other. The border of the foldable electronic device 100 includes the border 101 of the first body 10 and the border 201 of the second body 20. Most of the components of the foldable electronic device 100 are located inside its border. In other embodiments, the rotating portion 50 may also be offset from the central region of the foldable electronic device 100; this embodiment will be described later.

[0072] Optionally, the foldable electronic device 100 also includes a display screen 60. The display screen 60 is used to display images, videos, etc. In this embodiment, the display screen 60 is a flexible display screen, such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, a mini organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (MOLED) display screen, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display screen. At this time, the display screen 60 can be continuously located on the same side of the first main body 10, the rotating part 50 and the second main body 20, so that the foldable electronic device 100 has a continuous large-area display screen when the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in the unfolded state, thereby realizing that the front, back and sides of the foldable electronic device 100 can be displayed when the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in the folded state.

[0073] In other embodiments, the display screen 60 may also be a rigid display screen, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). In this case, the display screen 60 may include two display portions, which are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0074] Optionally, the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 of the foldable electronic device 100 can rotate relative to each other in various ways. For example, as Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow, in one flipping method, when the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 move relative to each other, the portion of the display screen 60 located on the first main body 10 and the portion located on the second main body 20 face each other closer together. When the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in a folded state, the display screen 60 is located inside the first main body 10 and the second main body 20. This flipping method is also called inward folding of the display screen 60. In another flipping method, as... Figure 1As shown by the dashed arrow, when the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 move relative to each other, the portion of the display screen 60 located on the first main body 10 and the portion located on the second main body 20 are back-to-back and move away from each other. When the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in a folded state, the display screen 60 is located outside the first main body 10 and the second main body 20. This flipping method is also called the outward folding of the display screen 60.

[0075] In related technologies, the aforementioned foldable electronic device 100 typically includes a sound outlet 11 (such as an earpiece). Users usually use the sound outlet 11 in a fixed state. For example, the foldable electronic device 100 is generally in a folded state when using the sound outlet 11. Therefore, when configuring the antenna (e.g., a low-frequency antenna or a high-frequency antenna; hereinafter, a low-frequency antenna is used as an example), only the holding state of the foldable electronic device 100 in its fixed state is typically considered.

[0076] When the foldable electronic device 100 has multiple sound outlets, the usage state of the foldable electronic device 100 is different for different sound outlets. How to set the low-frequency antenna so that the foldable electronic device 100 can ensure good low-frequency antenna performance when working with different sound outlets has become a new challenge.

[0077] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a foldable electronic device (hereinafter referred to as the electronic device), comprising: a first main body, a second main body, a first sound outlet, a first antenna, a second sound outlet, and a second antenna. The first main body and the second main body are connected and can move relative to each other to a folded state and an unfolded state. The first sound outlet is located on a first side of the electronic device in the unfolded state, and the second sound outlet is located on a second or third side of the electronic device in the unfolded state. The first side is adjacent to the second side, and the first side is adjacent to the third side, while the second side and the third side are opposite each other. The electronic device has two sound outlets (such as earpieces) in different directions. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state and emits sound (e.g., during a voice or video call), the first sound outlet is active, and at least one of the first and second antennas is active. When the electronic device is in the folded state and emits sound, the second sound outlet is active, and at least one of the first and second antennas is active. Alternatively, the active sound outlet can be determined based on the screen orientation of the electronic device, regardless of whether the electronic device is unfolded or folded. Thus, in this embodiment of the application, the foldable electronic device is provided with a first sound outlet and a second sound outlet, wherein the first sound outlet is located on a first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet is located on a second or third side facing a different direction from the first side. Therefore, when switching the electronic device from using the first sound outlet to using the second sound outlet, or vice versa, the electronic device needs to be rotated to facilitate user access to either the second or first sound outlet. Alternatively, from the folded state (… Figure 2b ) to unfolded state ( Figure 1 Alternatively, to facilitate the use of the sound outlet, the user needs to rotate the electronic device from the unfolded state to the folded state. When using the first or second sound outlet, at least one of the first and second antennas can operate. For example, if one antenna is blocked, the other antenna can be used, thereby improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound outlets and enhancing the user experience. In this embodiment, the user answers a phone call in the unfolded state. Figure 1 The top of the ear is close to the user's ear; when folded, the user answers a call. Figure 2b Let's take the top of the ear as an example. The following is a detailed explanation.

[0078] The following is based on Figure 1The following example illustrates a horizontally folding mobile phone (i.e., the phone screen can be folded or unfolded horizontally). Of course, the antenna structure described in this application embodiment can also be applied to other folding electronic devices, such as vertically folding electronic devices, where the phone can be folded or unfolded vertically. Another example is an inward-folding screen (i.e., in the folded state, the folded screen is located on the inside of the electronic device, and the user cannot operate the folded screen in this state) or an outward-folding screen (i.e., in the folded state, the folded screen is located on the outside of the electronic device, and the user can directly operate the folded screen). Furthermore, the electronic device can be folded into three folds or even more. This application does not limit the specific folding form of the foldable electronic device provided in this application.

[0079] Please see Figure 4a This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a foldable electronic device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4a As shown, the foldable electronic device includes a first body 10, a second body 20, a first sound outlet 11, a first antenna 12, a second sound outlet 13, and a second antenna 14.

[0080] The second body 20 is connected to the first body 10, and the first body 10 and the second body 20 can move relative to each other to a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0081] The first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device in its unfolded state. The second sound outlet 13 is located on the second or third side of the electronic device in its unfolded state. The first side is adjacent to the second side, the first side is adjacent to the third side, and the second side and the third side are opposite each other.

[0082] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state and emitting sound, the first sound outlet 11 is operational, and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational. When the electronic device is in the folded state and emitting sound, the second sound outlet 13 is operational, and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational.

[0083] In this embodiment, the unfolded electronic device includes a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. The first side is adjacent to the second and third sides, and the first side is opposite to the fourth side. The second side is opposite to the third side. For ease of description, the following will refer to... Figure 4a The direction shown is the positive direction. Taking the top side of the screen of the electronic device in its unfolded state as the first side, the bottom side as the fourth side, the left side as the second side, and the right side as the third side as an example, this will be explained. Of course, the left and right sides of the screen can also be used as the first and fourth sides, and the top and bottom sides as the second and third sides, respectively. Alternatively, the four sides of the electronic device can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] The foldable electronic device includes a first main body 10 and a second main body 20, which are interconnected and capable of relative movement to a folded state and an unfolded state. Thus, when the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in the unfolded state, the foldable electronic device (hereinafter referred to as the electronic device) is in the unfolded state. When the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 are in the folded state, the electronic device is in the folded state. For ease of description, refer to... Figure 4a As shown in Figure 5, the foldable electronic device, when in its unfolded state, includes four sides: a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. The first side and the fourth side are opposite each other, and the second side and the third side are opposite each other. In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in its unfolded state, the first side is located at the top of the electronic device, and the second side is located at the side of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in its folded state, the first side is located at the side of the electronic device, and the second side is located at the top or bottom of the electronic device.

[0085] That is, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the top side of the electronic device can be used as the first side, and the second side is located on the side of the electronic device. For example, in Figure 4a In the middle, the first side can be Figure 4a The top side of the electronic device in its unfolded state is shown. The fourth side can be the bottom side of the electronic device in its unfolded state, and the second side can be... Figure 4a The left side of the electronic device in its unfolded state is shown, and the third side can be the right side of the electronic device in its unfolded state. The electronic device is provided with a first sound outlet 11 and a second sound outlet 13. To increase the display area, the sound outlets are usually located on the sides of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device in its unfolded state. The second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side of the electronic device in its unfolded state, as shown... Figure 4a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can also be located on the third side, as shown. Figure 4b As shown.

[0086] When the electronic device is in its folded state, for ease of use, it needs to be rotated 90 degrees compared to its unfolded state. In this position, the first side is located on the side of the electronic device. After rotating 90 degrees, the second side can be either the top or bottom side of the folded electronic device, see reference [reference needed]. Figure 9 As shown.

[0087] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the location of the sound outlet on a certain side is only a limitation on the position of the sound outlet, not a limitation on the opening direction of the sound outlet. The opening direction of the sound outlet may not be completely facing or not facing that side; for example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the sound outlet at the top of some mobile phones may open at an angle upwards, in which case the opening direction of the sound outlet is not completely facing that side. This application does not limit the opening direction of the sound outlet.

[0088] It should be understood that, in Figure 4a and Figure 4b In the structures shown, the second sound outlet 13 is illustrated with the example of the second main body 10 being located there. Of course, the second sound outlet 13 could also be located in the second main body 20. Figure 4a and Figure 4b This is merely a structural illustration and is not intended to limit the structure of electronic devices. The embodiments in this application do not impose any limitations on this.

[0089] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, for ease of illustration, the antennas in the accompanying drawings are shown as being located on the outer side of the electronic device. However, in actual applications, the antennas are located inside the electronic device or on its frame. The antenna structure in the accompanying drawings is merely illustrative and does not constitute a limitation on the antenna structure in the electronic device.

[0090] To improve audio output quality, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 typically do not operate simultaneously; usually only one sound outlet is active at a time. To make electronic devices more user-friendly and enhance the user experience, the active sound outlet is usually located at the top of the electronic device. (Reference) Figure 4aAs shown, when the electronic device is in its unfolded state, the sound outlet located at the top of the device is the first sound outlet 11. Therefore, the first sound outlet 11 is usually operational when the electronic device is in its unfolded state. The electronic device includes a first antenna 12 and a second antenna 14. To ensure the signal quality of the electronic device, at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational at this time. When the electronic device is in its folded state, for user convenience, the user needs to rotate the electronic device 90 degrees before use, compared to the conventional use state when the electronic device is unfolded. The first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side of the electronic device. At this time, the sound outlet located at the top of the electronic device is the second sound outlet 13. Therefore, when the electronic device is in its folded state, the second sound outlet 13 is usually operational, and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational. In this way, the electronic device can use different sound outlets to operate in different states, thereby meeting the user's requirements for audio signal output when using the foldable electronic device and improving the user experience. Furthermore, when using the first or second sound hole, at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna can work, improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device when using different sound holes and enhancing the user experience of the foldable electronic device.

[0091] It should be understood that when an electronic device is in its unfolded state and emitting sound, the first sound outlet 11 being operational means that audio can be output from the first sound outlet 11 when the electronic device is in its unfolded state; that is, the first sound outlet 11 can emit sound. In other words, if there is an audio playback demand when the electronic device is in its unfolded state, such as during a phone call, the first sound outlet 11 will be operational. If there is no audio playback demand, the first sound outlet 11 will not output audio, and in this case, it can be considered that the first sound outlet 11 is not operational. When the electronic device is in its unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 does not continuously output audio; it only operates when there is an audio output demand.

[0092] Similarly, when the electronic device is in a folded state and emitting sound, the second sound port 13 being operational means that audio can be output from the second sound port 13 when the electronic device is in a folded state; that is, the second sound port 13 can emit sound. In other words, if there is an audio playback demand when the electronic device is in a folded state, such as making a phone call, the second sound port 13 will be operational. If there is no audio playback demand, the second sound port 13 will not output audio, and in this case, it can be considered that the second sound port 13 is not operational. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second sound port 13 does not continuously output audio; it only operates when there is an audio output demand.

[0093] As one possible implementation, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can both be located on the first main body 10. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in its deployed state.

[0094] Among them, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0095] It's important to note that users typically utilize foldable electronic devices in two states: handheld and head-and-hand. In the handheld state, the user holds the device solely with their hand, and their head is not in contact with it. For example, the user's eyes can be facing the device's display screen. Figure 8a As shown. The head-and-hand position means the user places the electronic device against their head, for reference. Figure 8b As shown.

[0096] In this embodiment, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can be located within the first main body 10. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and within the first main body 10. (Refer to...) Figure 4a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the first main body 10, as shown in the reference. Figure 4b As shown. This improves the structural compactness of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 can share a sound leakage cancellation structure with the second sound outlet 13, further reducing the size of the electronic device.

[0097] To improve the signal quality of electronic devices, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the first antenna 12 can be positioned on the second side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 14 can be positioned on the fourth side of the electronic device, as shown in the reference. Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown.

[0098] Thus, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 4a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 4b As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8aAs shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of the second antenna 14 is minimal. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of the second antenna 14 is minimal. Therefore, placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 on the fourth side of the electronic device ensures the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound outlet 11 is operating.

[0099] When the electronic device is in its folded state, relative to its unfolded state, the user needs to rotate the device 90 degrees so that the second sound outlet 13 faces the user and is located at the top of the device. When the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side of the device, the device needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise, as shown in the reference diagram. Figure 9 As shown in (1). When the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side of the electronic device, the electronic device needs to be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, referring to... Figure 9 As shown in (2).

[0100] When the electronic device is in a folded state, and when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld state, because the first antenna 12 is located on the second side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the user's handheld state has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. For example, in Figure 4c and Figure 4d In the structure shown, when the second sound outlet 13 is working, the user's hand-held state has little impact on the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, refer to... Figure 8b As shown, since the first antenna 12 is located on the second side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. For example, in Figure 4c In the structure shown, the user's head and hand status has a relatively small impact on the performance of Line 14, at least in the second day. Figure 4d In the structure shown, the user's head and hand status have little impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0101] In this way, by setting the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the second and fourth sides of the electronic device respectively, the performance of the first antenna 12 and / or the second antenna 14 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0102] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 may both be located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 may be located on the third side, and the second antenna 14 may be located on the fourth side, as shown in the reference. Figure 4e and Figure 4f As shown.

[0103] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 4e As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 4f As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the third side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of the first antenna 12 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance of the first antenna 12 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Therefore, placing the first antenna 12 on the third side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 on the fourth side of the electronic device ensures the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound outlet 11 is operating.

[0104] When the electronic device is in a folded state, and when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld state, because the first antenna 12 is located on the third side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the user's handheld state has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. For example, in Figure 4g and Figure 4h In the structure shown, when the second sound outlet 13 is operating, the user's handheld position has minimal impact on the performance of the second antenna 14. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, refer to... Figure 8b As shown, since the first antenna 12 is located on the third side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. For example, in Figure 4g In the structure shown, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. Figure 4h In the structure shown, the user's head and hand status has a relatively small impact on the performance of the second line 14.

[0105] In this way, by setting the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the third and fourth sides of the electronic device respectively, the performance of the first antenna 12 and / or the second antenna 14 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound hole or the second sound hole, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0106] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the second side and the third side, respectively.

[0107] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 4i As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 4j As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the third side. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of at least the first antenna 12 is minimal. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of both the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 is minimal. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of at least the first antenna 12 is minimal. Therefore, placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device and the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device can ensure the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0108] When the electronic device is in a folded state, and the user is using it by hand, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 14 is located on the third side of the electronic device. When the first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10 and the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20, the second antenna 14 is folded to the back of the electronic device. A schematic diagram of the folded state of the electronic device can be found here. Figure 4c and Figure 4d As shown. The user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. For example, in the structure where the second sound hole 13 is located on the second side, the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least the first antenna 12 when the second sound hole 13 is operating. In the structure shown where the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 when the second sound hole 13 is operating. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, refer to... Figure 8b As shown, in the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of the second antenna 14. In the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the third side, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of the first antenna 12.

[0109] In this way, by setting the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the second and third sides of the electronic device respectively, the performance of the first antenna 12 and / or the second antenna 14 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound hole or the second sound hole, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0110] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 may both be located in the first main body 10, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the second side or the third side, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. This can reduce the interference between the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0111] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 4k As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 4l As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, as shown in the reference. Figure 4k and Figure 4l As shown. Alternatively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, as shown in the reference. Figure 4m and Figure 4nAs shown. For ease of explanation, the following description uses the example of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the second side. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational. When the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 and the antenna of the first antenna 12 located away from the user's hand is relatively small. For example, if the user's hand is located on the second body 20 on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first body 10, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 is relatively small when the user is holding the electronic device. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. When the user is using the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 and the antenna of the first antenna 12 located away from the user's hand is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 will be less affected. Therefore, the first antenna 12 can be located on the second side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 14 can be located on the second side of the electronic device, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. In this way, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located at different positions on the second side, which can ensure the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0112] When the electronic device is in a folded state, and the user is using it by hand, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side of the electronic device. When the first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10 and the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20, the second antenna 14 is folded to the back of the electronic device. A schematic diagram of the folded state of the electronic device can be found here. Figure 4g and Figure 4h As shown. The user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. In the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side, the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. In the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the third side, the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, refer to Figure 8b As shown. In the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second side, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. In the structure where the second sound outlet 13 is located on the third side, the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14.

[0113] In this way, by setting the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the second and third sides of the electronic device respectively, the performance of the first antenna 12 and / or the second antenna 14 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0114] Similarly, when the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 13 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 respectively, the user's usage status may affect the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. The above process can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0115] As one possible implementation, to further reduce the potential impact on antenna performance during user operation, and to reduce the space occupancy of the first main body 10 or the second main body 20, thereby reducing implementation complexity, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 can be respectively located on different main bodies. For example, the second antenna 12 can be located on the first main body 10, and the second antenna 14 can be located on the second main body 20. (See the attached diagram.) Figures 4a-4n In the examples, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are set on different main bodies for illustration.

[0116] Of course, in other embodiments, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may also be located on the same body, which is not shown in the accompanying drawings, and this application does not limit this.

[0117] For ease of explanation, the embodiments in this application are described with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located in the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0118] As one possible implementation, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on different main bodies. This can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound outlet 13 on the second main body 20 can reduce the space occupied by the first main body 10 and reduce the implementation complexity of the first main body 10. That is, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively.

[0119] In this embodiment, the first sound outlet 11 can be located in the first body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located in the second body 20. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and within the second body 20. (Refer to...) Figure 5a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the second main body 20, as shown in the reference. Figure 5b As shown. To improve the signal quality of the electronic device, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the first antenna 12 can be positioned on the second side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 14 can be positioned on the fourth side of the electronic device, as shown in the reference. Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown.

[0120] Thus, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second main body 20 and on the second side, such as... Figure 5a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20 and on the third side, as shown. Figure 5b As shown, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side. The potential impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be found in the description above regarding the first antenna 12 being located on the second side and the second antenna 14 being located on the fourth side; these details will not be repeated here.

[0121] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side.

[0122] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located in the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located in the second main body 20 and on the second side, such as... Figure 5c As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20 and on the third side, as shown. Figure 5d As shown, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side. The potential impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be found in the description of the first antenna 12 being located on the third side and the second antenna 14 being located on the fourth side in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0123] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the second side and the third side, respectively.

[0124] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located in the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located in the second main body 20 and on the second side, such as... Figure 5e As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20 and on the third side, as shown. Figure 5f As shown, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the third side. The potential impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be found in the description above regarding the first antenna 12 being located on the second side and the second antenna 14 on the third side; these details will not be repeated here.

[0125] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. The first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are simultaneously located on the second side or the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. In this way, the interference between the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 can be reduced.

[0126] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located in the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located in the second main body 20 and on the second side, such as... Figure 5g As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20 and on the third side, as shown. Figure 5h As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side. The first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively, meaning the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are at different positions on the second side. (Refer to...) Figure 5g and Figure 5h As shown in the figure. Alternatively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. That is, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located at different positions on the third side, which are not shown in the figure. In this case, the possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the relevant description in the above embodiment where the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively, which will not be repeated here.

[0127] To further reduce the probability of users blocking the antenna of the electronic device during use, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic device, as a possible implementation, the aforementioned electronic device also includes a third antenna 15. The first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 20 can both be located on the first main body 10. The third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in its deployed state. The first antenna 12 is located on either the second or third side.

[0128] Among them, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0129] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a first antenna 12, a second antenna 14, a third antenna 15, a first sound outlet 11, and a second sound outlet 13. The first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can both be located within the first main body 10. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and within the first main body 10. (Refer to...) Figure 6a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the first body 10, as shown in the reference. Figure 6b As shown. This improves the structural compactness of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 can share a sound leakage cancellation structure with the second sound outlet 13, further reducing the size of the electronic device.

[0130] To improve the signal quality of electronic devices, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the third antenna 15 can be located on the first side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, and the first antenna 12 on the second side. Figure 6a Middle (1) and Figure 6b As shown in (1). Alternatively, the first antenna 12 can also be located on the third side, as shown in (1). Figure 6a (2) and Figure 6b As shown in (2).

[0131] Thus, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, reference... Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second or third side, the performance of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15 is minimally affected. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least the first antenna 12 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second or third side, the performance of at least the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Therefore, placing the third antenna 15 on the first side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side of the electronic device, and the first antenna 12 on the second or third side of the electronic device can ensure the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0132] When the electronic device is in a folded state, and when the user is holding the electronic device, the user's holding position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the antenna located on the same side as the second sound outlet 13. For example, refer to Figure 6a In the structure shown in (1), when the electronic device is in a folded state, the second antenna 14 is folded to the back of the electronic device, and the first antenna 12 and the second sound hole 13 are both located on the second side. In the folded electronic device, the first antenna 12 and the second sound hole 13 are usually located on the top of the electronic device. Therefore, the user's hand-holding state has little impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the first antenna 12. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, Figure 6a In the structure shown in (1), the user's head and hand status has a relatively small impact on the performance of the second line 14. Figure 6a In the structure shown in (2), the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the first antenna 12. Figure 6b In the structure shown in (1), the user's head and hand position has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. Figure 6b In the structure shown in (2), the user's head and hand status has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15.

[0133] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second or third side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be guaranteed when the user uses the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in handheld or in a handheld state, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0134] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, the third antenna 15 may be located on the first side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the second side and the third side, respectively.

[0135] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 6c As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 6d As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the first side.

[0136] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational. When the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of at least the first antenna 12 is relatively small. Therefore, by placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the first side of the electronic device, the signal quality of the electronic device can be guaranteed when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0137] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas in the first antenna 12 or the second antenna 14 located on different bodies than the second sound hole 13 are usually folded to the back of the phone. Therefore, when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, the performance of the antenna folded to the back is minimal. For example, in Figure 6c In the illustrated structure, the user's hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. The user's head and hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of the second antenna 14. Figure 6d In the structure shown, the user's hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. The user's head and hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0138] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be guaranteed when the user uses the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0139] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 may both be located within the first main body 10, the third antenna 15 may be located on the first side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on either the second or third side, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. This reduces interference between the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0140] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 6e As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 6f As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side. The first antenna 12 is located on the portion of the first main body 10 on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the portion of the second main body 20 on the second side. (Refer to...) Figure 6e Middle (1) and Figure 6f As shown in (1). Alternatively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the portion of the first main body 10 on the third side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the portion of the second main body 20 on the third side, as shown in reference. Figure 6e (2) and Figure 6f As shown in (2). For ease of explanation, the following description uses the portion of the first main body 10 where the first antenna 12 is located on the second side and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, and the portion of the second main body 20 where the first antenna 12 is located on the second side and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side as an example. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound hole 11 is working. When the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to Figure 8aAs shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14, the antenna in the first antenna 12 furthest from the user's hand, and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. For example, if the user's hand is located on the second body 20 on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first body 10, then when the user is holding the electronic device, the impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. When the user is using the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the impact on the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the antenna in the first antenna 12 furthest from the user's hand is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 will be less affected. Therefore, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 can be located on the second side of the electronic device, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. That is, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located at different positions on the second side. The third antenna 15 is located on the first side of the electronic device, which can ensure the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound hole 11 is working.

[0141] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas in the first antenna 12 or the second antenna 14 located on different bodies than the second sound hole 13 are usually folded to the back of the phone. Therefore, when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, the performance of the antenna folded to the back is minimal. For example, in Figure 6e In the structure shown in (1), the user's hand-holding state has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. The user's head-handing state has a relatively small impact on the performance of the second antenna 14. Figure 6e In the structure shown in (2), the user's hand-holding state has a relatively small impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. The user's head-handing state has a relatively small impact on the performance of the second antenna 14. Figure 6fIn the structure shown in (1), the user's hand-held state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. The user's head-and-hand state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. Figure 6f In the structure shown in (2), the user's hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. The user's head and hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of the second antenna 14.

[0142] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be guaranteed when the user uses the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0143] It should be understood that the specific implementation of the first antenna 12 located on the third side, the second antenna 14 located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 located on the third side of the first main body 10, and the second antenna 14 located on the third side of the second main body 20, can refer to the above process and will not be repeated here.

[0144] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, the third antenna 15 may be located on the fourth side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the second side and the third side, respectively.

[0145] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 6g As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 6h As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the fourth side.

[0146] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational. When the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to... Figure 8aAs shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance impact on at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance impact on at least the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance impact on at least the first antenna 12 is relatively small. Therefore, by placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side, and the third antenna 15 on the fourth side, the signal quality of the electronic device can be guaranteed when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0147] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas in the first antenna 12 or the second antenna 14 located on different bodies than the second sound hole 13 are usually folded to the back of the phone. Therefore, when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, the performance of the antenna folded to the back is minimal. For example, in Figure 6g In the illustrated structure, the user's hand-holding status has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. The user's head-hand position also has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. Figure 6h In the structure shown, the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14. The user's head-handing state also has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0148] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be guaranteed when the user uses the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0149] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, the third antenna 15 may be located on the fourth side, the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the second side or the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 may be located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0150] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 6i As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 6j As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side. The first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20. (Refer to...) Figure 6i Middle (1) and Figure 6j As shown in (1). Alternatively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20, as shown in the reference. Figure 6i (2) and Figure 6j As shown in (2). For ease of explanation, the following description assumes that the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10, while the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound hole 11 is activated. When the user uses the electronic device in a handheld state, refer to Figure 8aAs shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance impact on at least the first antenna 12 and / or the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance impact on at least one of the second antenna 14 and the antenna of the first antenna 12 located away from the user's hand, and the third antenna 15, is relatively small. For example, if the user's hand is located on the second body 20 on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first body 10, then when the user is holding the electronic device, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 is relatively small. When the user is using the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance impact on at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is relatively small. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of at least one of the antennas in the second antenna 14 and the first antenna 12 located away from the user's hand, and the third antenna 15, will be less affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 will be less affected. Therefore, by placing the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the second side of the electronic device, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 respectively (i.e., the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 being located at different positions on the second side), and the third antenna 15 located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the signal quality of the electronic device can be guaranteed when the first sound outlet 11 is working.

[0151] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas in the first antenna 12 or the second antenna 14 located on different bodies than the second sound hole 13 are usually folded to the back of the phone. Therefore, when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, the performance of the antenna folded to the back is minimal. For example, in Figure 6i In the structure shown in (1), the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. The user's head-handing state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. Figure 6i In the structure shown in (2), the user's hand-held state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. The user's head-and-hand state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. Figure 6jIn the structure shown in (1), the user's hand-held state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15. The user's head-and-hand state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. Figure 6j In the structure shown in (2), the user's hand-holding state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15. The user's head-handing state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15.

[0152] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the third side of the electronic device, and the third antenna 15 on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be guaranteed when the user uses the first sound hole 11 or the second sound hole 13, whether in hand or handheld mode, thereby ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0153] As one possible implementation, when the electronic device includes a third antenna 15, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can also be located on different main bodies. That is, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in its deployed state; the first antenna 12 is located on the second or third side.

[0154] Among them, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0155] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a first antenna 12, a second antenna 14, a third antenna 15, a first sound outlet 11, and a second sound outlet 13. The first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and is situated within the second main body 20. (Refer to...) Figure 7a As shown. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the second body 20, as shown in the reference. Figure 7b As shown. This can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound hole 13 on the second body 20 can reduce the space occupied by the first body 10 and reduce the implementation complexity of the first body 10. That is, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are located in the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0156] To improve the signal quality of electronic devices, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the third antenna 15 can be located on the first side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, and the first antenna 12 on the second side.

Figure 7e (2) and Figure 7f As shown in (2). At this time, the possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the above embodiment where the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are both located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located in the first main body 10 and the second antenna 14 is located in the second main body 20. The relevant descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0161] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. The third antenna 15 is located on the fourth side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are located on the second side and the third side, respectively.

These details will not be repeated here.

[0163] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. The third antenna 15 is located on the fourth side, and the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 are simultaneously located on the second side or the third side, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. This reduces interference between the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14.

[0164] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20. The second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 7iAs shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 7j As shown. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second antenna 14 is located on the second side.

(Refer to...) Figure 7i and Figure 7j As shown. Alternatively, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 is located on a portion of the first main body 10 on the third side, while the second antenna 14 is located on a portion of the second main body 20 on the third side. In this case, the possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments where the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are both located on the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 is located on the first main body 10 while the second antenna 14 is located on the second main body 20. These descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0165] To further reduce the probability of users blocking the antenna of electronic devices during use, thereby improving the signal quality of the electronic devices, as a possible implementation, the aforementioned electronic devices also include a third antenna 15 and a fourth antenna 16. The first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in its deployed state, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side.

[0166] Among them, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0167] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a first antenna 12, a second antenna 14, a third antenna 15, a fourth antenna 16, a first sound outlet 11, and a second sound outlet 13. The first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can both be located within the first main body 10. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and within the first main body 10, as shown in reference 10a. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the first main body 10, as shown in reference 10a. Figure 10b As shown. This improves the structural compactness of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 can share a sound leakage cancellation structure with the second sound outlet 13, further reducing the size of the electronic device.

[0168] To improve the signal quality of electronic devices, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the first antenna 12 can be located on the second side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side. Figure 10a China and Figure 10b As shown, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 are located on different sides of the electronic device, which can reduce interference between antennas in the electronic device and reduce the probability of the user blocking all antennas when using it.

[0169] That is, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, the sound outlet 11 is operational. Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the third antenna 15 is minimally affected. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Therefore, placing the first antenna 12 on the second side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side can ensure the signal quality of the electronic device when the first sound hole 11 is working.

[0170] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 located on different bodies from the second sound hole 13 are typically folded to the back of the phone. When the user holds the electronic device, the user's holding position has minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the antennas of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the same side as the second sound hole 13, and the antennas folded to the back. For example, in Figure 10aIn the structure of the illustrated electronic device, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, and the second sound outlet 13 is also located on the second side, with the second sound outlet 12 situated on the first main body 10. The second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the second main body 20. When the electronic device is folded, the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 are folded to the back of the electronic device. When the user holds the electronic device, the user's holding position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14, the fourth antenna 16, and the first antenna 12. When the user uses the electronic device with their head and hand, the user's head will affect the performance of the first antenna 12, and the user's hand may affect the performance of the third antenna 15. The user's head and hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16. Figure 10b In the structure shown, the user's hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14, the fourth antenna 16, and the third antenna 15. The user's head and hand position has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16.

[0171] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound outlet 11 or the second sound outlet 13, whether in handheld or remotely, thus ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0172] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, the first antenna 12 may be located on the third side, the second antenna 14 may be located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 may be located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 may be located on the third side, with the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0173] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 10c As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 10d As shown. The first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the first side.

[0174] In this way, although the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are on the same side, they are located on different main bodies, so the interference between them is small. Furthermore, the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 16 are located on other sides of the electronic device, so the interference between the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is small, and the probability of the user interfering with all the antennas of the electronic device when using the electronic device is reduced.

[0175] That is, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sound outlet 11 is operational; when the user is using the electronic device in a handheld state, the sound outlet 11 is operational. Figure 8a As shown, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15 is minimally affected. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, if the user's hand is located on the fourth side of the electronic device and the user's head is against the first side of the electronic device, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the second side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, and the fourth antenna 16 is minimally affected. Alternatively, if the user's hand is located on the third side, the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 is minimally affected. Therefore, by placing the first antenna 12 on the third side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side, and with the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 in different positions on the third side, the signal quality of the electronic device can be guaranteed when the first sound hole 11 is working.

[0176] When the electronic device is folded, with the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 on the first body 10 and the second body 20 respectively, the antennas of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 located on different bodies from the second sound hole 13 are typically folded to the back of the phone. When the user holds the electronic device, the user's holding position has minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the antennas of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 located on the same side as the second sound hole 13, and the antennas folded to the back. For example, in Figure 10cIn the structure of the illustrated electronic device, the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 are both located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is also located on the first main body 10. The second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the second main body 20. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 are folded to the back of the electronic device. When the user holds the electronic device, the user's holding posture has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16. When the user uses the electronic device in a head-and-hand posture, the user's head-and-hand posture has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16. Figure 10d In the structure of the illustrated electronic device, the user's hand-held state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16. The user's head-and-hand state has a minimal impact on the performance of at least one of the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16.

[0177] By placing the first antenna 12 on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side, the performance of at least one of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 can be guaranteed whether the user is using the first sound outlet 11 or the second sound outlet 13, whether in handheld or remotely, thus ensuring the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0178] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 may both be located in the first body 10, the first antenna 12 may be located on the second side, the second antenna 14 may be located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 may be located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 may be located on the second side, with the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 located in the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0179] That is, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 10e As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 10f As shown. The first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the first side.

[0180] In this way, although the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are on the same side, they are located on different main bodies, so the interference between them is small. Furthermore, the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 16 are located on other sides of the electronic device, so the interference between the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is small, and the probability of the user interfering with all the antennas of the electronic device when using the electronic device is reduced.

[0181] The possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the above description that the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 can both be located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 respectively. These details will not be repeated here.

[0182] As one possible implementation, when the aforementioned electronic device includes a third antenna 15 and a fourth antenna 16, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 can also be disposed on different main bodies. That is, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in its deployed state, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side.

[0183] Among them, the fourth side is opposite to the first side, the fourth side is adjacent to the second side, and the fourth side is adjacent to the third side.

[0184] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a first antenna 12, a second antenna 14, a third antenna 15, a fourth antenna 16, a first sound outlet 11, and a second sound outlet 13. The first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20. That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first side of the electronic device, and the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side of the electronic device and within the second main body 20, as shown in reference 11a. Alternatively, the second sound outlet 13 can be located on the third side of the electronic device and within the second main body 20, as shown in reference 11a. Figure 11b As shown. This can meet different user needs, and setting the second sound hole 13 on the second body 20 can reduce the space occupied by the first body 10 and reduce the implementation complexity of the first body 10. That is, the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 are located in the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0185] To improve the signal quality of electronic devices, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 can be positioned in locations that have minimal impact on antenna performance during user operation. For example, the first antenna 12 can be located on the second side, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side. Figure 10a China and Figure 10b As shown, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 are located on different sides of the electronic device, which can reduce interference between antennas in the electronic device and reduce the probability of the user blocking all antennas when using it.

[0186] At this time, the possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the above descriptions, which state that the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 can both be located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side of the electronic device in the unfolded state, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side. These descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0187] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. The first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side, with the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0188] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20. The second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 11c As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 11d As shown. The first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the first side.

[0189] In this way, although the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are on the same side, they are located on different main bodies, so the interference between them is small. Furthermore, the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 16 are located on other sides of the electronic device, so the interference between the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is small, and the probability of the user interfering with all the antennas of the electronic device when using the electronic device is reduced.

[0190] At this point, the possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the above description that the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 can both be located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are respectively located in the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, which will not be repeated here.

[0191] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the second side, with the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 located on the first body 10 and the second body 20, respectively.

[0192] That is, the first sound outlet 11 is located on the first main body 10, and the second sound outlet 13 is located on the second main body 20. The second sound outlet 13 can be located on the second side, such as... Figure 10e As shown. Alternatively, the second sound hole 13 is located on the third side, as shown. Figure 10f As shown. The first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are both located on the second side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, respectively. The second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, and the third antenna 15 is located on the first side.

[0193] In this way, although the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are on the same side, they are located on different main bodies, so the interference between them is small. Furthermore, the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 16 are located on other sides of the electronic device, so the interference between the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 is small, and the probability of the user interfering with all the antennas of the electronic device when using the electronic device is reduced.

[0194] The possible impact of different user usage states on antenna performance can be referred to the above description that the first sound hole 11 and the second sound hole 13 can both be located in the first main body 10, the first antenna 12 is located on the third side, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 is located on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 is located on the third side, and the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the first main body 10 and the second main body 20 respectively. These details will not be repeated here.

[0195] As one possible implementation, when the second sound hole 13 is located on the second main body 20, in order to reduce the impact of the user's use of the electronic device on the performance of the second antenna 14, the second antenna 14 is located on the fourth side near the second sound hole 13. In this way, when the user uses the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, the probability of the user blocking the second antenna 14 can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the user on the performance of the second antenna 14.

[0196] As one possible implementation, to reduce the impact of user use of electronic devices on the performance of the first antenna 12, the first antenna 12 is positioned close to the first side. That is, when the first antenna 12 is positioned on the second side, it is located on the side of the second side closer to the first side. Alternatively, when the first antenna 12 is positioned on the third side, it is located on the side of the third side closer to the first side. This reduces the probability of the user obstructing the first antenna 12 when using the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, thereby reducing the impact of user use on the performance of the first antenna 12.

[0197] As one possible implementation, to reduce the impact of user use on the performance of the third antenna 15, the third antenna 13 is positioned close to the third side. This reduces the probability of the user obstructing the third antenna 15 when using the electronic device in a handheld or head-and-hand position, thus minimizing the impact on its performance. Furthermore, it reduces interference between the third antenna 15 and other antennas, improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0198] As one possible implementation, to reduce interference between antennas, the fourth antenna 16 can be positioned close to the fourth side. That is, when the fourth antenna 16 is positioned on the second side, it is located on the side of the second side closer to the fourth side. Alternatively, when the fourth antenna 16 is positioned on the third side, it is located on the side of the third side closer to the fourth side. This reduces interference between the fourth antenna 16 and other antennas, improving the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0199] As one possible implementation, in the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14, the signal reception level of the antenna in operation is not lower than the signal reception level of the antenna in non-operational state.

[0200] In this embodiment, to ensure the signal reception quality of the electronic device, the antenna with a high signal reception level is typically selected as the operating antenna from the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 included in the electronic device. That is, the signal reception level of the antenna in the operating state is not lower than the signal reception level of the antenna not in the operating state.

[0201] Furthermore, electronic devices typically require two antennas: a main antenna and an auxiliary antenna. The main antenna transmits signals to and receives signals from other electronic devices. The auxiliary antenna receives signals from other electronic devices. In this way, electronic devices can transmit signals using the main antenna and receive signals from other electronic devices using both the main and auxiliary antennas. Using two antennas to receive signals from other electronic devices improves signal reception quality.

[0202] Therefore, when an electronic device contains at least three antennas, the main antenna and auxiliary antenna can be determined based on the signal reception levels of the at least three antennas. The antenna with the highest signal reception level is designated as the main antenna, and the antenna with the second highest signal reception level is designated as the auxiliary antenna.

[0203] It should be understood that when at least two of the at least three antennas have the same received signal level, and these two received signal levels are not lower than the other signal levels, the electronic device can determine the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna from the at least two antennas with the same received signal level. Of course, the electronic device can also select the antenna with the highest received signal level as the main antenna and the antenna with the second highest received signal level as the auxiliary antenna according to the order in which the received signal levels are acquired; this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0204] For ease of description, the following will be... Figure 10a The structure shown is used as an example for explanation. Thus, the electronic device has four antennas: a first antenna 12, a second antenna 14, a third antenna 15, and a fourth antenna 16. The first antenna 12 is located on the second side of the electronic device, the second antenna 14 on the fourth side, the third antenna 15 on the first side, and the fourth antenna 16 on the third side. The first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 are located on the first main body 10 of the electronic device, while the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 are located on the second main body 20. In this way, the electronic device can determine the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna from among the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 by detecting their received levels. In some embodiments, the electronic device can determine the antenna with the highest received level as the main antenna and the antenna with the second highest received level as the auxiliary antenna, based on the received levels of the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16, according to their relative magnitudes. Electronic devices can transmit signals to other devices through the main antenna, and receive signals transmitted by other devices through the main antenna and auxiliary antenna.

[0205] It should be understood that when at least two of the first antenna 12, second antenna 14, third antenna 15, and fourth antenna 16 have the same received signal level, and these two received signal levels are not lower than the other signal levels, the electronic device can determine the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna from the at least two antennas with the same received signal level. Of course, the electronic device can also select the antenna with the highest received signal level as the main antenna and the antenna with the second highest received signal level as the auxiliary antenna, according to the order in which the received signal levels are acquired; this embodiment of the application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0206] Because different sound outlets and different user grip positions result in varying degrees of antenna obstruction, the required main and auxiliary antennas will also differ. Figure 10a In the illustrated electronic device, when the first sound output port 11 is operational and the user is holding the device, the user typically grips the second main body 20 of the device, based on their usage habits. Since different users hold the device differently and have different hand sizes, the user may obstruct the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 within the second main body 20, affecting their performance. However, because the user is holding the second main body 20, the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 located on the first main body 10 are not obstructed. Therefore, in this situation, the first antenna 12 and the third antenna 15 are usually selected as the primary and secondary antennas, respectively, to improve the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0207] When the first sound output port 11 of the electronic device is operational, and the user is using the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, according to the user's usage habits, the user typically holds the second main body 20 of the electronic device in this position, with the first side of the electronic device against the user's ear. At this time, the user's head will obstruct the third antenna 15, affecting its performance. Different users hold the device differently, and their hand sizes vary; therefore, the user may obstruct the second antenna 14 or the fourth antenna 16 in the second main body 20, affecting their performance. For example, if the user holds the third side of the electronic device, it will obstruct the fourth antenna 16, affecting its performance. Alternatively, the user may hold the fourth side of the electronic device, causing oscillations in the second antenna 14, affecting its performance. Therefore, the electronic device can determine the main and auxiliary antennas based on the received signal level. The electronic device may determine the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 as the main and auxiliary antennas, or it may determine the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 as the main and auxiliary antennas.

[0208] When the second sound outlet 13 of the electronic device is working, because the extension directions of the first side where the first sound outlet 11 is located and the second side where the second sound outlet 13 is located are different, when switching the second sound outlet 13 to face the user, the electronic device needs to be rotated 90 degrees relative to when the first sound outlet 11 is facing the user. Figure 10a The structure of the electronic device shown requires it to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise. For ease of use, the user can fold the electronic device in this position. (See reference...) Figure 12 As shown. At this time, both the second antenna 14 and the fourth antenna 16 of the electronic device are located on the back of the electronic device. When the second sound outlet 13 is working and the user is holding the electronic device, depending on the user's habits, they may hold the part of the first side of the electronic device near the third side. Alternatively, they may hold both the first and third sides of the electronic device, or even other parts. Different users hold the device differently, and their hand sizes are different. Therefore, the user may obstruct the second antenna 14 and the third antenna 15, affecting their performance. However, since the user holds the part of the electronic device near the third side, the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 located on the second side will not be obstructed by the user. Therefore, in this case, the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 are usually selected as the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna, respectively, to improve the signal quality of the electronic device. The fourth antenna 16 is less obstructed because, in the folded state of the electronic device, the fourth antenna 16 is located on the back of the electronic device, so the user's hand obstructs the fourth antenna 16 less than the third antenna 15.

[0209] When the second sound outlet 13 is operational and the user is using the electronic device in a head-and-hand position, depending on the user's habits, the user may hold the electronic device on the third side or the part of the first side near the third side, with the second sound outlet 13 pressed against the user's ear. In this situation, the user's head will obstruct the first antenna 12, affecting its performance. Different users hold the device differently, and their hand sizes vary, so users may also obstruct the first side, affecting the performance of the third antenna 115. Alternatively, the user may obstruct the third side, affecting the performance of the second antenna 14. Or, the user may obstruct the fourth antenna 16, affecting its performance. Therefore, the electronic device can determine the main and auxiliary antennas based on the received signal level. For example, based on the received signal level, the electronic device may determine the third antenna 15 and the fourth antenna 16 as the main and auxiliary antennas, or it may determine the first antenna 12 and the fourth antenna 16 as the main and auxiliary antennas, or it may determine the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 as the main and auxiliary antennas, etc.

[0210] Thus, in this embodiment of the application, by setting four antennas in different positions, it is possible to determine which of the four antennas is the main antenna and which is the secondary antenna when the user uses different sound holes of the electronic device in different states. This reduces the impact of the user on the working antenna inside the electronic device, improves the performance of the working antenna, and thus improves the signal quality of the electronic device.

[0211] As one possible implementation, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15, and the fourth antenna 16 are all low-frequency antennas.

[0212] In this embodiment of the application, when a user uses the foldable electronic device, the performance of the low-frequency antenna is mainly affected. Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, the first antenna 12, the second antenna 14, the third antenna 15 and the fourth antenna 16 involved in the foldable electronic device can all be low-frequency antennas in order to improve the antenna performance of the low-frequency antenna of the foldable electronic device, thereby improving the signal quality of the foldable electronic device.

[0213] As one possible implementation, both the first sound outlet 11 and the second sound outlet 13 are earpieces, so that users can use different earpieces according to their usage habits when the electronic device is in an unfolded or folded state, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0214] As one possible implementation, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the operation of the first sound hole 11 and the operation of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 include: when the electronic device is in the unfolded state and making a call connection, the first sound hole 11 is operational and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational.

[0215] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the second sound hole 13 is operational, and the operation of at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 includes: when the electronic device is in a folded state and making a call connection, the second sound hole 13 is operational, and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is operational.

[0216] In this embodiment, the sound output hole operates when the electronic device is connected to a call. Specifically, when the electronic device is in its unfolded state and a call is connected, the first sound output hole 11 is operational, and at least one of the first antenna 12 and the second antenna 14 is also operational. This allows the user to bring their ear close to the first sound output hole 11 when answering a call, thus obtaining a voice signal through the first sound output hole 11. When the electronic device is in its folded state and a call is connected, the second sound output hole 13 can be activated. This allows the user to rotate the electronic device 90 degrees relative to its unfolded state, enabling them to bring their ear close to the second sound output hole 11 when answering a call, thus facilitating user access.

[0217] As one possible implementation, in order to reduce the design complexity of the electronic device, the number of antennas on the first body 10 is the same as the number of antennas on the second body 20.

[0218] In other embodiments, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can also switch between the unfolded state and the folded state in other ways (such as detachable fastening), which can be determined according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0219] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
