Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a housing assembly, electronic device, and display method. Background Technology

[0002] To meet users' visual needs for electronic devices, the size of touch screens on electronic devices is getting larger and larger, thereby improving the display effect of electronic devices.

[0003] However, while the size of touchscreens on electronic devices has increased, it has also reduced the ease of one-handed operation for users. For example, due to the larger size of the touchscreen, the area that is difficult to touch with one hand increases when users hold and operate the device with one hand (hereinafter referred to as the blind spot), thus reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a housing assembly, an electronic device, and a display method.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a housing assembly, including a housing, an antenna disposed on the housing, and a first shielding layer and a first sensor layer disposed within the housing. The antenna, the first shielding layer, and the first sensor layer are stacked sequentially along a first direction, which is the direction from the outside of the housing to the inside of the housing. The first sensor layer includes a plurality of first touch sensors arranged sequentially along the circumference of the housing. The plurality of first touch sensors are distributed at least in a first edge region and a second edge region of the housing. Along the width direction of the housing, the first edge region and the second edge region are located at opposite ends of the housing. Furthermore, the number of first touch sensors distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region are both plurality-sized. The first shielding layer has at least one first through-hole, and the antenna has at least one second through-hole corresponding to the at least one through-hole. Each first through-hole, the second through-hole corresponding to the first through-hole, and one of the plurality of first sensors are aligned along the first direction.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device is configured with the housing assembly, and a first touch sensor disposed on the housing can be used to detect the user's position when holding the electronic device. The electronic device can determine the user's grip posture based on the data detected by the first touch sensor, and thus provide corresponding services to the user. For example, the electronic device can display operation controls in easily accessible locations when the user is currently holding the electronic device, thereby facilitating user operation.

[0007] For example, when using an electronic device, a user often holds the device along opposite first and second edge regions in the width direction. Therefore, a first touch sensor is arranged in the first and second edge regions to detect the user's position holding the electronic device.

[0008] It is understandable that, since the first touch sensor may interfere with devices such as the antenna, a first shielding layer can be provided between the first touch sensor and the antenna to shield against mutual interference between the antenna and the first sensor. Furthermore, by creating a first through-hole and a second through-hole in the first shielding layer and at the points where the antenna and the first touch sensor are aligned, respectively, normal touch detection by the first touch sensor can be ensured.

[0009] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the housing includes a rear cover and a sidewall that surrounds the rear cover circumferentially, the rear cover extending along the length direction and the width direction of the housing; wherein a first sensor layer, a first shielding layer and an antenna layer are stacked on the rear cover, and a first direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the rear cover.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the antenna and the first touch sensor may be arranged around the sidewall of the rear cover of the housing assembly in the circumferential direction. It is understood that when a user holds the electronic device, the contact area with the rear cover of the electronic device's housing is relatively large. Therefore, by placing the first touch sensor on the rear cover, it is easier for the first touch sensor to detect more of the user's grip position on the electronic device, so that the electronic device can determine the user's grip posture based on the data detected by the first touch sensor.

[0011] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first touch sensor may also be evenly distributed at various locations on the back cover, thereby detecting more of the user's grip on the electronic device.

[0012] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the housing assembly further includes a first circuit board, which is stacked on the side of the first shielding layer facing away from the antenna; wherein a plurality of first sensors are disposed on the first circuit board and electrically connected to the first circuit board.

[0013] For example, in some embodiments of this application, a plurality of first touch sensors may be supported by a first circuit board and thus stacked together with a first shielding layer.

[0014] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the first circuit board is a frame extending circumferentially along the housing.

[0015] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the first circuit board is a frame extending circumferentially along the housing, so the first touch sensor is also arranged along the edge of the housing. This reduces the number of first touch sensors, thereby saving costs. Furthermore, by detecting the position of the edge of the housing where the user holds the electronic device, the user's grip posture can be accurately determined, facilitating the electronic device to provide corresponding services to the user based on the user's grip posture.

[0016] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the antenna and housing are an integral structure.

[0017] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the housing assembly further includes an insulating layer disposed between the antenna and the first shielding layer.

[0018] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the first through hole and / or the second through hole are filled with insulating material.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, filling the first through hole and / or the second through hole with insulating material can ensure the aesthetics of the housing assembly and prevent impurities from entering the first or second through hole, thereby affecting the accuracy of the first touch sensor in detecting the position of the user holding the electronic device.

[0020] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the plurality of first touch sensors are further distributed in the third edge region and the fourth edge region of the housing, with the third edge region and the fourth edge region located at opposite ends of the housing along the length direction of the housing; and the number of first touch sensors distributed in the third edge region and the fourth edge region are respectively multiple.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the third and fourth edge regions at opposite ends of the housing assembly along the length direction may also be configured with first touch sensors, so that when the user holds the electronic device horizontally or in other ways, the first touch sensors can detect more positions where the user is holding the electronic device, thereby enabling the electronic device to more accurately determine the user's holding posture.

[0022] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, among the plurality of first touch sensors distributed in the first edge region, the ratio of the distance between two first touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors in the first edge region can be 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm; and / or, among the plurality of first touch sensors distributed in the second edge region, the ratio of the distance between two first touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors in the second edge region can be 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the first edge region does not necessarily need to be entirely equipped with the first touch sensor. It is understood that when using an electronic device, the user typically holds it along its length towards the lower part (e.g., near the charging port). Therefore, the position of the first touch sensor in the first edge region can be at the lower part of the electronic device. Furthermore, the ratio of the length of the housing assembly where the first touch sensor is located to the length of the housing assembly in the first edge region can be any value between 1 and 0.4. It is understood that to ensure the accuracy of the first touch sensor in detecting the user's grip posture, the distance between two adjacent first touch sensors can be less than 10 mm; preferably, the distance between two adjacent first touch sensors can be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Similarly, the area in the second edge region where the first touch sensor is located can be the same as the area in the first edge region where the first touch sensor is located.

[0024] In one possible implementation of the first aspect described above, the housing assembly further includes a sensor assembly disposed inside the housing. The sensor assembly is disposed on a sidewall and includes a second sensor layer, a support plate, and a third sensor layer stacked sequentially along a second direction, the second direction being parallel to the thickness direction of the sidewall and pointing from the outside of the housing to the inside of the housing. The second sensor layer includes a plurality of second touch sensors disposed on the support plate, the plurality of second touch sensors being distributed at least in a first edge region and a second edge region of the housing; and the number of second touch sensors distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region are both multiple. The third sensor layer includes a plurality of pressure sensors disposed on the support plate, the plurality of pressure sensors being distributed at least in the first edge region and the second edge region of the housing; and the number of pressure sensors distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region are both multiple.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, in addition to providing a first touch sensor on the back cover, the housing assembly may also have a sensor assembly on its sidewalls. The sensor assembly includes a second touch sensor and a pressure sensor. It is understood that when a user holds an electronic device, their palm or fingers typically touch the sidewalls of the device's housing. Therefore, by providing sensor assemblies on the sidewalls of the housing assembly, the distribution of the user's palm and fingers when holding the electronic device can be detected, thereby determining the user's grip posture.

[0026] It is understandable that, since the sensor assembly may also include a pressure sensor, the electronic device can also determine how the user holds the device based on the grip pressure detected by the pressure sensor. For example, when a user holds the electronic device with their thumb and other fingers, the pressure sensor may detect greater pressure. When the user holds the electronic device, it may rest against the user's palm, and the pressure on the side walls of the electronic device may be less. Thus, the electronic device can also determine the user's grip posture based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor.

[0027] It is understandable that the first touch sensor set on the back cover and the sensor assembly set on the side wall of the housing can work together to detect the position of the user holding the electronic device, thereby enabling the electronic device to determine the user's grip posture more accurately based on the data detected by each sensor.

[0028] In a second aspect, embodiments of this application provide a housing assembly, including a housing and a sensor assembly disposed inside the housing; the housing includes a rear cover and a sidewall surrounding the rear cover circumferentially, the rear cover extending along the length and width directions of the housing; the sensor assembly is disposed on the sidewall of the housing and includes a second sensor layer, a support plate, and a third sensor layer stacked sequentially along a second direction, the second direction being parallel to the thickness direction of the sidewall and pointing from the outside of the housing to the inside of the housing; wherein, the second sensor layer includes a plurality of second touch sensors disposed on the support plate, the plurality of second touch sensors being at least distributed in a first edge region and a second edge region of the housing, the first edge region and the second edge region being located at opposite ends of the housing along the width direction of the housing; and the number of second touch sensors distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region are both plurality of; the third sensor layer includes a plurality of pressure sensors disposed on the support plate, the plurality of pressure sensors being at least distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region of the housing; and the number of pressure sensors distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region are both plurality of.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly of the electronic device may have sensor assemblies disposed only on the sidewalls, thereby reducing the cost of the electronic device. The sensor assemblies may be distributed in the first edge region and the second edge region of the housing assembly to facilitate the detection of the user's grip position of the electronic device by the second touch sensor and pressure sensor in the sensor assembly.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure applied by the user can be transmitted through a support plate so that the pressure sensor can detect the pressure applied to the electronic device when the user holds it.

[0031] In one possible implementation of the second aspect above, the support plate is a second circuit board, and multiple second touch sensors and multiple pressure sensors are electrically connected to the second circuit board respectively.

[0032] In one possible implementation of the second aspect described above, the second circuit board is provided with a second shielding layer, which is stacked between the second sensor layer and the third sensor layer.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure sensor may generate an electrical signal after detecting a pressure change, which could affect the detection result of the second touch sensor. Therefore, a second shielding layer can be provided between the second sensor layer and the third sensor layer to shield the pressure sensor from interference with the second touch sensor, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection result of the second touch sensor.

[0034] In one possible implementation of the second aspect above, the sidewall has a first groove, the opening of the first groove facing the opposite direction of the second direction, and the sensor assembly is disposed in the first groove; and the first groove is filled with an elastic insulating material, which encloses the sensor assembly.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, to ensure the aesthetics of the housing assembly, a first groove can be formed in the side wall of the housing assembly, and then the sensor assembly can be placed in the first groove. The first groove is filled with an elastic insulating material so that the elastic insulating material can deform under pressure, thereby transmitting the pressure to the pressure sensor. Furthermore, the elastic insulating material in the first groove encloses the sensor assembly, preventing the second touch sensor in the sensor assembly from contacting the metal wall of the first groove, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the second touch sensor's detection.

[0036] In one possible implementation of the second aspect above, a third through hole is formed in the bottom wall of the first groove, the third through hole connects the first groove and the interior of the housing, and an electrical connection structure is provided in the third through hole, the electrical connection structure being electrically connected to the second touch sensor and the pressure sensor.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, a third through hole may be formed in the second groove so that the electrical connection structure on the second circuit board can enter the interior of the housing, thereby connecting with the motherboard of the electronic device and devices such as the battery, so that the sensor assembly can transmit the detected data.

[0038] In one possible implementation of the second aspect described above, a second groove is provided on the sidewall, the opening of the second groove faces the second direction, and the sensor assembly is disposed in the second groove; and the bottom wall of the second groove is an elastic insulating material.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the opening of the second recess on the sidewall of the electronic device may also face inwards towards the interior of the housing. A sensor assembly is disposed within the second recess, and the bottom of the second recess is made of an elastic insulating material to transmit the pressure exerted on the housing assembly by the user when holding the electronic device.

[0040] In one possible implementation of the second aspect above, the housing assembly further includes a bracket disposed on the housing, the bracket being disposed opposite to the pressure sensor along the second direction, for providing support force to the pressure sensor along the second direction when the pressure sensor is pressed.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, since the opening of the second groove faces the interior of the housing, a support is also provided in part of the second groove. When the user applies pressure to the pressure sensor, the support can provide corresponding support force to the pressure sensor so that the pressure sensor can detect the pressure applied by the user.

[0042] In one possible implementation of the second aspect described above, a buffer pad is provided between the bracket and the pressure sensor, with the bracket and the pressure sensor respectively in contact with the buffer pad.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, a buffer pad is disposed between the support and the pressure sensor to fill the space between the support and the pressure sensor, so that the pressure sensor can abut against the support. When the user applies pressure to the pressure sensor, the support can directly provide support force to the pressure sensor, thereby preventing the pressure sensor from moving and causing the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor to be inaccurate.

[0044] In one possible implementation of the second aspect described above, among the plurality of second touch sensors distributed in the first edge region, the ratio of the distance between two second touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the spacing between two second touch sensors in the first edge region is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm; and / or, among the plurality of second touch sensors distributed in the second edge region, the ratio of the distance between two second touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the spacing between two second touch sensors in the second edge region is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. The distance between the two pressure sensors in the first edge region is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm; and / or, among the multiple pressure sensors distributed in the first edge region, the ratio of the distance between the two pressure sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the distance between two adjacent pressure sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the distance between the two pressure sensors in the first edge region is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm; and / or, among the multiple pressure sensors distributed in the second edge region, the ratio of the distance between the two pressure sensors located at both ends to the length of the housing is greater than 0.4, and the distance between two adjacent pressure sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the distance between the two pressure sensors in the second edge region is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the sensor assembly may not be required to be installed entirely in the first edge region and the human edge region. Therefore, the ratio of the area in the first edge region where the sensor assembly is installed to the length of the housing assembly can be any value between 0.4 and 1. In the sensor assembly, the distance between every two pressure sensors is preferably less than 10.0 mm, and the distance between every two pressure sensors can be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Similarly, the distance between every two second touch sensors can be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

[0046] In one possible implementation of the second aspect described above, the housing includes a first end and a second end opposite each other along its length, and the distance between the sensor assembly and the first end is less than the distance between the sensor assembly and the second end.

[0047] Third aspect: This application provides an electronic device including a touch screen and a housing assembly in any possible implementation of the first aspect, the second aspect, and the first and second aspects, wherein the touch screen is disposed on the housing along the thickness direction of the housing.

[0048] Fourthly, this application provides a display method for an electronic device described in the third aspect above. The housing assembly of the electronic device is as described in the first aspect and any of the housing assemblies described in the first aspect. The method includes: acquiring multiple first sensor data when a user holds the electronic device, the multiple first sensor data including at least data collected by multiple first touch sensors; determining a first display area of ​​a touch screen based on the multiple first sensor data, the first display area being an area that the user can touch while holding the electronic device; and displaying a first operation control in the first display area.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly of the electronic device can detect the part of the user holding the electronic device through a first touch sensor, thereby obtaining first sensor data. Based on the first sensor data, the electronic device can determine the user's grip posture and determine the first display area of ​​the electronic device's screen according to the user's grip posture. The first display area is the area easily touched by the user in their current grip state. For example, when the user holds the electronic device with one hand, the area easily touched by the user's thumb on the touchscreen can be used as the first display area. It can be understood that the first display area can be predetermined based on the user's grip posture; different grip postures correspond to different positions of the first display area on the touchscreen.

[0050] In one possible implementation of the fourth aspect above, the housing assembly of the electronic device is the housing assembly in one possible implementation of the first aspect above; and the multiple first sensor data also include data collected by multiple second touch sensors, data collected by multiple pressure sensors, and / or data collected by touch sensors on the touch screen.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the first sensor data also includes data collected by a second touch sensor and multiple pressure sensors, wherein the second touch sensor and pressure sensors are sensors disposed on the side wall of the electronic device. Therefore, the first sensor data can detect a more comprehensive range of user grip positions on the electronic device, and the user's grip posture determined by the electronic device based on the first sensor data is more accurate.

[0052] Fifth aspect: This application provides a display method for an electronic device of the third aspect, wherein the housing assembly of the electronic device is a housing assembly of the second aspect or any of the second aspects; the method includes: acquiring multiple first sensor data when a user holds the electronic device, the multiple first sensor data including at least data collected by multiple second touch sensors and data collected by multiple pressure sensors; determining a first display area of ​​a touch screen based on the multiple first sensor data, the first display area being an area that the user can touch while holding the electronic device; and displaying a first operation control in the first display area.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, a sensor assembly may be disposed on the housing assembly of the electronic device. This sensor assembly includes a second touch sensor and a pressure sensor. Therefore, the first sensor data includes data collected by multiple second touch sensors and multiple pressure sensors.

[0054] In one possible implementation of the fifth aspect above, determining the first display area of ​​the touch screen based on multiple first sensor data includes: determining a first gripping posture of the user holding the electronic device based on multiple first sensor data; and determining the first display area based on the gripping first posture.

[0055] In one possible implementation of the fifth aspect above, determining the first grip posture of a user holding an electronic device based on multiple first sensor data includes: inputting multiple first sensor data into a first model to determine the first grip posture through the first model; wherein the first model is obtained by training based on sensor data samples and grip postures corresponding to the sensor data samples.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the sensor data samples and the corresponding grip postures can be, for example, data collected when the user grips the electronic device according to the grip posture prompted by the electronic device when the user first starts the electronic device. In other embodiments, the first model can also be trained on another device and then configured into the electronic device, and the first model can determine the user's grip posture based on the first sensor data.

[0057] In one possible implementation of the fifth aspect above, the electronic device stores a database of second sensor data and grip postures corresponding to the second sensor data; determining a first grip posture of the user holding the electronic device based on multiple first sensor data includes: determining third sensor data from the second sensor data in the database whose similarity to the first sensor data exceeds a threshold; and using the grip posture corresponding to the third sensor data as the first grip posture.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device may store a database of sensor data and grip postures. After the electronic device obtains the first sensor data, it can compare the first sensor data with the sensor data in the database to select the grip posture corresponding to the third sensor data with a similarity exceeding a threshold as the user's current first grip posture.

[0076] The illustrative embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, housing assemblies, electronic devices, and display methods.

[0077] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] This application provides a housing assembly, an electronic device, and a display method. A front sensor can be arranged on the touchscreen of the electronic device, and a rear sensor and / or a bezel sensor can be arranged on the housing assembly. Through the front sensor, rear sensor, and / or bezel sensor, the electronic device can perform multimodal detection, thereby accurately predicting the user's grip posture. Based on this, the electronic device can display target controls in an area touchable by the user when holding the electronic device with one hand, facilitating one-handed operation.

[0079] The electronic devices in this application embodiment can be mobile phones, wearable devices, tablets, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, devices in industrial control, devices in smart cities, smart homes, and other electronic devices. For example, a mobile phone will be used below to describe the electronic devices in this application embodiment.

[0080] Figure 1A A schematic diagram illustrating a user holding an electronic device with one hand is shown. Figure 1AAs shown, when a user holds the electronic device 100 with one hand (specifically, the right hand), they can operate the touchscreen 10 of the electronic device 100 using their thumb. However, the range of motion of the user's thumb is limited, therefore, there are some blind spots 11 on the touchscreen 10 of the electronic device 100. In this embodiment, the blind spot 11 refers to the part of the touchscreen 10 that is difficult to touch when the user holds and operates the electronic device 100 with one hand. The area on the touchscreen 10 that the user can easily touch with one hand can be called the operation area 12. That is to say, when the user holds and operates the electronic device 100 with one hand, it is difficult to touch the controls in the blind spot 11 of the touchscreen 10, thus causing inconvenience to the user's operation.

[0081] It is understandable that the range of the blind spot 11 and the operating area 12 on the touch screen 10 of the electronic device 100 may also be different depending on the user's posture when holding the electronic device 100 with one hand.

[0082] For example, when a user holds the electronic device 100 with their left hand, the corresponding blind spot 11 and operating area 12 are different from those when the user holds the electronic device 100 with their right hand.

[0083] For example, refer to Figure 1A When the user holds the electronic device with their right hand, the operating area 12 is located in the lower right part of the electronic device 100, and the operating blind spot 11 is located in the upper left part of the electronic device 100. (Reference) Figure 1B When the user holds the electronic device 100 with their left hand, the operation area 12' is located in the lower left part of the touch screen 10 of the electronic device 10 along the X direction, and the operation blind area 11' is located in the upper right part of the touch screen 10.

[0084] To facilitate one-handed operation of electronic devices, the housing in this embodiment is equipped with a frame sensor (a sensor mounted on the side wall of the housing) and / or a rear sensor (a sensor mounted on the back cover of the housing). The sensors detect the user's grip position on the electronic device, allowing the device to determine the user's grip posture based on the sensor data. The device then adjusts the display of target operation controls on the touchscreen within the operating area according to the user's grip posture, thus facilitating user operation.

[0085] In some embodiments, electronic devices may also include antennas and other devices to achieve communication functions. Therefore, the antennas and sensors may interfere with each other, affecting the communication of the electronic device and the detection accuracy of the sensors. To address this, this application provides a shielding layer between the sensor and the antenna. The shielding layer isolates multiple sensors from the antenna, thereby preventing interference from the antenna to the sensor. Furthermore, through-holes are formed in the shielding layer, the portion of the antenna aligned with the sensor, thereby ensuring that the sensor can perform touch detection normally.

[0086] The above solution allows the antenna and sensor on the casing of the electronic device to be compatible with each other, thereby increasing the area on the electronic device where the sensor can be placed and improving the detection accuracy of the sensor.

[0087] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0088] In the figures of this article, the X direction can be the width direction of the electronic device 100, the Y direction can be the length direction of the electronic device 100, and the Z direction can be the thickness direction of the electronic device 100. The X, Y, and Z directions can be perpendicular to each other.

[0089] Figures 2A to 2E An exemplary structure of the electronic device 100 in an embodiment of this application is shown. Wherein, Figure 2A A perspective view of the electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2B An exploded view of the electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2C A partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 is shown. Figure 2B (Cross-section diagram of AA).

[0090] like Figures 2A to 2C As shown, the electronic device 100 includes a touch screen 10 and a housing 20. The housing 20 includes a mid-frame 21 and a back cover 22. The mid-frame 21 may include a mid-plate 212 and sidewalls 211 surrounding the mid-plate 212. Exemplarily, the sidewalls 211 of the mid-frame 21 may include a first sidewall 21a and a second sidewall 21b at opposite ends along the X direction, and a third sidewall 21c and a fourth sidewall 21d at opposite ends along the Y direction.

[0091] Along the Z-direction, the touchscreen 10 and the back cover 22 can be located on opposite sides of the mid-frame 21 and are respectively connected to the sidewalls 211. Exemplarily, the first sidewall 21a, second sidewall 21b, third sidewall 21c, fourth sidewall 21d, mid-plate 212, and touchscreen 10 of the mid-frame 21 can together form a first receiving cavity 31. The first sidewall 21a, second sidewall 21b, third sidewall 21c, fourth sidewall 21d, mid-plate 212, and back cover 22 of the mid-frame 21 can together form a second receiving cavity 32.

[0092] It is understood that in some embodiments, the middle frame 21 may not include the middle plate 212, that is, the side wall 211 of the middle frame 21, the touch screen 10 and the back cover 22 together form a receiving cavity.

[0093] In some embodiments, the back cover 22 and the middle frame 21 can be fixed by means of adhesive, snap-fit, etc., or the back cover 22 and the middle frame 21 can be integrally formed. The embodiments of this application do not limit the fixing form of the back cover 22 and the middle frame 21.

[0094] The first receiving cavity 31 and the second receiving cavity 32 can accommodate electronic components of the electronic device 100. For example, the first receiving cavity 31 can accommodate the controller of the touch screen 10, the motherboard (not shown in the figure), and the battery 70, etc. The second receiving cavity 32 can accommodate the antenna 60 and other components of the electronic device.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, the touch screen 10 may include, for example, a glass cover 13, a touch panel 14, and a display panel 15. Along the Z direction, the glass cover 13, the touch panel 14, and the display panel 15 may be stacked sequentially.

[0096] The glass cover 13 is the outermost layer of the touch screen 10, and its main function is to protect the touch screen 10 from physical damage such as scratches and impacts.

[0097] The touch panel 14 is located between the glass cover 13 and the display panel 15, and is used to detect the pressing position of the user's finger or other object (e.g., a stylus), thereby realizing touch operation. In some embodiments, the touch sensors on the touch panel 14 are typically arranged in an array so that when the user touches the touch screen 10, the array of touch sensors can detect the position touched by the user, so that the electronic device can interact with the user based on the position touched. In some embodiments, the touch panel 14 can be a resistive touch panel or a capacitive touch panel. The touch sensor on the resistive touch panel can trigger the touch action by applying a certain pressure, while the capacitive touch panel determines the touch position by detecting the capacitance change between the touch object and the electrodes of the touch sensor.

[0098] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device 100 can also detect the user's grip posture when holding the electronic device 100 via the touch panel 14. For example, for some electronic devices 100 with a curved touch screen 10, when the user holds the electronic device 100, the user's palm may touch the edge of the touch screen 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 2A The first edge region M1 or the second edge region M2 in the touch screen 10) are used to predict the user's grip posture when holding the electronic device 100 by the touch data collected by the touch sensor on the edge of the touch screen 10.

[0099] Display panel 15 can be used to display images, text, and other information. Furthermore, display panel 15 can be combined with touch panel 14 to provide an interactive interface for the user. Display panel 15 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), Mini-LED, Micro-LED, Micro-OLED, quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLED), etc.

[0100] The glass cover 13 can be fixed to the side wall 211 of the middle frame 21 by means of adhesive or other methods, and the touch panel 14 and the display panel 15 can be disposed in the first receiving cavity 31.

[0101] The antenna 60 is used to transmit and receive radio signals, including signals required for voice calls, text messages, and data internet access. The antenna 60 can be attached to the housing 20 in the first receiving cavity 31 or the second receiving cavity 32.

[0102] In some embodiments, the antenna 60 can be fixed to the housing 20 by adhesive or welding and connected to the metal part of the housing 20 by a wire, making the housing 20 a grounding part of the antenna 60. Alternatively, the antenna can be integrated with the metal part of the housing 20, that is, the antenna 60 and the housing 20 are a single structure, thereby reducing the space occupied by the antenna 60. The metal part of the housing 20 can also be combined with the antenna 60 to radiate together, thereby enhancing the electronic device 100's ability to receive and transmit wireless signals. This design not only improves the performance of the antenna 60, but also makes the design of the electronic device 100 more compact and aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, the metal part of the housing 20 also serves as a grounding function, thereby conducting interference signals such as static electricity and noise in the circuit to the ground, thus maintaining the stability and safety of the circuit.

[0103] In some embodiments, the antenna 60 may be attached to the rear cover 22 of the housing 20, thereby using the metal portion of the rear cover 22 as a ground plane and a portion for radiating signals to improve the performance of the antenna 60. In other embodiments, the antenna 60 may also be attached to the side wall 211 of the middle frame 21, thereby using the metal portion of the side wall 211 as a ground plane and a portion for radiating signals.

[0104] In some embodiments of this application, side sensors and / or rear sensors may also be provided on the housing 20 to detect the position of the user holding the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can determine the user's holding posture based on the data detected by the sensors, and then display the target control in an area that can be touched when the user holds the electronic device 100 with one hand, so that the user can operate the electronic device 100 with one hand.

[0105] The following section first describes a scheme for setting a touch sensor on the rear cover 22 of the housing 20. In this embodiment, the sensor set on the rear cover 22 can be referred to as a rear sensor.

[0106] refer to Figures 2A to 2C The electronic device 100 also includes a first sensor layer 40.

[0107] The first sensor layer 40 may include, for example, a first circuit board 41 and a plurality of first touch sensors 42, wherein the plurality of first touch sensors 42 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 41, and the first circuit board 41 can provide support for the plurality of first touch sensors 42.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the first circuit board 41 on the first sensor layer 40 may be a flexible circuit board. The first circuit board 41 includes a first side plate 41a and a second side plate 41b at opposite ends along the X direction, and a third side plate 41c and a fourth side plate 41d distributed at opposite ends along the Y direction. The opposite ends of the first side plate 41a along the Y direction are respectively connected to the same end of the third side plate 41c and the fourth side plate 41d along the X direction. The opposite ends of the second side plate 41a along the Y direction are respectively connected to the same end of the third side plate 41c and the fourth side plate 41d along the X direction away from the first side plate 41a. That is, the first side plate 41a, the second side plate 41b, the third side plate 41c, and the fourth side plate 41 form a frame structure.

[0109] In some embodiments of this application, the first touch sensor 42 can be of various types, such as capacitive touch sensor, resistive touch sensor, infrared touch sensor and ultrasonic touch sensor.

[0110] Capacitive touch sensors determine the touch location by detecting changes in capacitance between the touch point and the sensor electrodes. When a finger or other conductive object touches the screen, it changes the capacitance between the electrodes, which is then detected by the sensor.

[0111] Infrared touch sensors determine the touch location by emitting infrared light and detecting the reflection. When a finger touches the screen, it blocks some of the reflected infrared light, which is then detected by the sensor.

[0112] Ultrasonic touch sensors determine the touch location by emitting ultrasonic waves and detecting their reflections. When a finger touches the screen, it changes the reflection time of the ultrasonic waves, which is then detected by the sensor.

[0113] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of first touch sensors 42 are sequentially distributed on the first side plate 41a, second side plate 41b, third side plate 41c, and fourth side plate 41d of the first circuit board 41. It can be understood that the first side plate 41a, second side plate 41b, third side plate 41c, and fourth side plate 41d of the first circuit board 41 are arranged circumferentially along the housing 20; that is, the plurality of first touch sensors 42 on the first circuit board 41 are sequentially arranged circumferentially along the housing 20.

[0114] Multiple first touch sensors 42 can be used to detect the part of the user holding the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can determine the user's posture when holding the electronic device 100 based on the detection data of the multiple first touch sensors 42. For example, it can detect whether the user is holding the electronic device 100 with their left hand, right hand, or both hands. This allows the electronic device 100 to adjust the position of the controls displayed on the touch screen 10 according to the user's posture when holding the electronic device 100, so as to facilitate the user's operation of the electronic device 100.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 20 of the electronic device 100 includes a first edge region M1 and a second edge region M2 at opposite ends along the X direction, and a third edge region M3 and a fourth edge region M4 at opposite ends along the Y direction. Therefore, the first side plate 41a may be located in the first edge region M1, the second side plate 41b may be located in the second edge region M2, the third side plate 41c may be located in the third edge region M3, and the fourth side plate 41d may be located in the fourth edge region M4.

[0116] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of first touch sensors 42 are distributed at least in the regions of the first side plate 41a and the second side plate 41b, which are distributed at opposite ends along the X direction. That is, the first touch sensors 42 are at least distributed in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2, and the number of first touch sensors 42 distributed in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 are both plurality-sized. It is understood that the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 at opposite ends along the X direction of the electronic device 100 are the locations frequently touched by the user when holding the electronic device 100. Therefore, the plurality of first touch sensors 42 can be concentrated in portions of the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2. This reduces the number of first touch sensors 42, thereby saving the cost of the electronic device 100.

[0117] Among the plurality of first touch sensors 42 distributed on the first side plate 41a of the first edge region M1, the ratio of the distance between two first touch sensors 42 located at both ends of the first side plate 41a to the length of the housing 20 (the dimension of the housing 20 along the Y direction) is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors 42 is less than 10 mm. Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors 42 is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

[0118] For example, the housing 20 has two opposite ends along the Y direction, including a first end 23a and a second end 23b, and the length of the housing 20 can be the distance between the first end 23a and the second end 23b along the Y direction.

[0119] Similarly, among the plurality of first touch sensors 42 distributed on the second side plate 41b of the second edge region M2, the ratio of the distance between two first touch sensors 42 located at both ends of the second side plate 41b to the length of the housing 20 is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors 42 is less than 10 mm. Preferably, in the second edge region M2, the spacing between two adjacent first touch sensors 42 is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

[0120] In some embodiments, multiple first touch sensors 42 can also be arranged on the third side plate 41c and the fourth side plate 41d of the first circuit board 41. That is, multiple first touch sensors 42 are arranged on the third edge region M3 and the fourth edge region M4 respectively. In this way, the user's grip posture can be detected more widely and accurately by multiple first touch sensors 42.

[0121] In some embodiments of this application, the first sensor layer 40 and the middle plate 212 of the middle frame 21 can be fixed to one side of the second receiving cavity 32 by adhesive bonding, that is, the first sensor layer 40 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 32.

[0122] However, in some embodiments of this application, an antenna 60 is also disposed within the second receiving cavity 32. For example, the antenna 60 is pasted or soldered onto the back cover 22, or the antenna 60 is integrated with the back cover 22. That is, both the first sensor layer 40 and the antenna 60 are disposed within the second receiving cavity 32. Therefore, among the plurality of first touch sensors 42 on the first sensor layer 40, some of the first sensors 421 (e.g., the first touch sensors 42 in the dashed box) may be opposite to the antenna 60 along the Z direction. The first sensors 421 may generate electromagnetic interference during operation, thereby affecting the receiving and transmitting performance of the antenna 60, and the electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna 60 may also affect the normal operation of the first sensors 421, thereby affecting the detection accuracy of the first sensors 421. Therefore, in order to avoid mutual interference between the antenna 60 and the plurality of first sensors 421 on the first sensor layer 40, the electronic device 100 may also be provided with a first shielding layer 50. The first shielding layer 50 is used to shield the electromagnetic interference between the antenna 60 and the first sensors 421 and their connecting lines (e.g., the first circuit board 41), thereby reducing the mutual influence between the first sensors 421 and the antenna 60. It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the housing 20, the shielding layer of the first sensor layer 40, and the antenna 60 can be used as an example of a housing assembly.

[0123] In this embodiment, the antenna 60, the first shielding layer 50, and the first sensor layer 40 are sequentially stacked on the rear cover 22 along the Z1 direction. The Z1 direction (as the first direction) is the direction from the outside of the housing 20 to the inside of the housing 20. In this embodiment, the Z1 direction can be parallel to the thickness direction of the rear cover 22. For example, in some embodiments, the first shielding layer 50 and the first sensor layer 40 are bonded together, and the first circuit board 41 on the first sensor layer 40 is stacked on the side of the first shielding layer 50 facing away from the antenna 60. Furthermore, along the Z1 direction, the first shielding layer 50 and the antenna 60 are not in contact, or an insulating material is filled between them.

[0124] The first shielding layer 50 can be a metal plate or metal layer with good conductivity. The first shielding layer 50 can absorb and disperse a part of the electromagnetic energy, thereby reducing the coupling degree between the antenna 60 and the first sensor 421, and thus reducing the electromagnetic interference between the antenna 60 and the first sensor 421.

[0125] It is understood that the first shielding layer 50 can reduce the mutual interference between the first sensor 421 and the antenna 60. Therefore, the projection of the first shielding element 50 along the Z direction is greater than or equal to the projection of the antenna 60 along the Z direction, thereby ensuring the shielding effect of the first shielding element 50 on the interference between the first sensor 421 and the antenna 60. In the embodiments of this application, the projections of the multiple first touch sensors 42 along the Z direction are within the projection of the first shielding element 50 along the Z direction. That is to say, the first shielding layer 50 can not only shield the interference between the first sensor 421 and the antenna 60, but also shield the interference between the second sensor 422 (other than the first sensor 421) and other electronic devices (such as other circuit boards or chip-based electronic devices) in the electronic device 100, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection data of the first touch sensor 42.

[0126] It is understood that, along the Z1 direction, since a first shielding layer 50 and an antenna 60 are disposed below the first sensor layer 40, in order to ensure that the first sensor 421 on the first sensor layer 40 can work normally, at least one first through-hole 51 can be formed on the first shielding layer 50, and at least one second through-hole 61 can be formed on the antenna 60, with at least one first through-hole 51 corresponding to at least one second through-hole 61. Furthermore, the second through-hole 61, the first through-hole 51, and the first sensor 421 are aligned along the Z1 direction, meaning that along the Z1 direction, the second through-hole 61 and the first through-hole 51 expose at least a portion of the first sensor 421. In the embodiments of this application, each first sensor 421 corresponds to one first through-hole 51 and one second through-hole 61 along the Z direction. It is also understood that, along the Z direction, through-holes 52 are also formed at the portion of the first shielding member 50 opposite to the second sensor 422 among the plurality of first touch sensors 42, and these through-holes 53 are aligned with the second sensor 422 along the Z direction.

[0127] For example, refer to Figure 2D , Figure 2D A schematic diagram of a first sensor layer 40 and a first shielding layer 50 is shown. The first sensor layer 40 and the first shielding layer 50 are bonded together along the Z-direction. Along the Z-direction, the first shielding layer 50 has a first through-hole 51 at the position on the first circuit board 41 of the first sensor layer 40 where the first sensor 421 is arranged. The first through-hole 51 is aligned with the first sensor 421 along the Z-direction, or in other words, the first through-hole 51 exposes the first sensor 421 along the Z-direction. Furthermore, along the Z-direction, the antenna 60 has a second through-hole 61 at a position opposite to the first through-hole 51. The second through-hole 61 is aligned with both the first through-hole 51 and the first sensor 421 along the Z-direction, or in other words, the second through-hole 61 exposes the first sensor 421 along the Z-direction. The first through-hole 51 and the second through-hole 61 facilitate touch detection by the first sensor 421 along the Z-direction.

[0128] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the first through hole 51, the second through hole 61, and the through hole 52 may also be filled with insulating material. This is to prevent other conductive objects from blocking the first through hole 51, the second through hole 61, or the through hole 52, thereby affecting the detection accuracy of the first touch sensor 42 and ensuring the detection effect of the first touch sensor 42.

[0129] It is understood that the first sensor layer 40, the first shielding layer 50 and the antenna 60 are stacked sequentially along the Z direction as an example. In other embodiments, the first sensor layer 40, the first shielding layer 50 and the antenna 60 may also be stacked sequentially along a first direction pointing outward from the inside of the housing 20. For example, the first direction may also be the X direction or the Y direction. The embodiments of this application do not limit the first direction.

[0130] For example, refer to Figure 2E , Figure 2E The electronic device 100' shown is with Figure 2C The difference in the illustrated electronic device 100 is that the first direction consists of two directions opposite to the X direction. For example, along the positive direction of the X direction (e.g., X1 direction), the first sensor layer 40, the first shielding layer 50, and the antenna 60 are stacked. Along the opposite direction of the X direction (e.g., X2 direction), the first sensor layer 40', the first shielding layer 50', and the antenna 60' are stacked. The first sensor layer 40, the first shielding layer 50, and the first sensor layer 40' and the first shielding layer 50' can be fixed to the panel 211 of the middle frame 21 by means of adhesive or the like. The antenna 60 and the antenna 60' are respectively fixed to the first sidewall 21a and the second sidewall 21b of the middle frame 21.

[0131] The following describes a scheme for mounting a sensor assembly on the side wall 21 of the housing 20. In this embodiment, the sensor mounted on the side wall 21 can be referred to as a side sensor.

[0132] For example, Figure 3A According to some embodiments of this application, a cross-sectional view of an electronic device is shown. Figure 2A (Cross-section diagram of BB) Figure 3B Another cross-sectional view of an electronic device is shown according to some embodiments of this application. Figure 2A (C-section view).

[0133] like Figures 3A to 3B As shown, the housing 20 of the electronic device 100 includes a sensor assembly 80 disposed inside the housing 20. For example, the sensor assembly 80 is disposed on the first sidewall 21a of the middle frame 21 of the electronic device 100. The sensor assembly 80 includes a support plate 81, a second sensor layer 82, a third sensor layer 83 and a second shielding layer 84.

[0134] The second sensor layer 82, the support plate 81, and the third sensor layer 83 extend from the outside of the housing 20 to the inside of the housing 20 along the thickness of the first sidewall 21a (e.g., Figure 3A The second sensor layer 82 and the third sensor layer 83 are stacked sequentially in the X2 direction (X2 direction is an example of the second direction). For example, the second sensor layer 82 and the third sensor layer 83 can be fixed to opposite sides of the support plate 81 in the X direction by adhesive. The second shielding layer 84 can be installed inside the support plate 81, and in the X2 direction, the second shielding layer 84 is stacked between the second sensor layer 82 and the third sensor layer 83.

[0135] The second sensor layer 82 includes a plurality of second touch sensors disposed on the support plate 81, and the third sensor layer 83 includes a plurality of pressure sensors disposed on the support plate 81. The support plate 81 may be, for example, a second circuit board, and the plurality of second touch sensors and the plurality of pressure sensors are electrically connected to the second circuit board.

[0136] Multiple second touch sensors are distributed at least in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 of the housing 20; and the number of second touch sensors distributed in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 are both multiple. Multiple pressure sensors are distributed at least in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 of the housing 20; and the number of pressure sensors distributed in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 are both multiple.

[0137] It is understandable that the electromagnetic field of the pressure sensor changes during pressure detection, which affects the detection accuracy of the second touch sensor. Therefore, setting a second shielding layer 84 between the second sensor layer 82 and the third sensor layer 83 can reduce the interference of the pressure sensor on the third sensor layer 83 to the second touch sensor on the second sensor layer 82, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the second touch sensor.

[0138] Reference Figure 3A In some embodiments of this application, the touch screen 10 and back cover 22 of the electronic device 100 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first sidewall 21a of the middle frame 21 in opposite directions along the Z direction via the first connector A1 and the second connector A2. The battery 70 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 31, and the first sensor layer 40 and the second sensor layer 50 are disposed in the second receiving cavity 32 and are fixed to the middle plate 212 of the middle frame 21 along the Z direction by adhesive bonding. The antenna 60 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 32 and is fixed to the back cover 22 along the Z direction by adhesive bonding.

[0139] A first groove 213 is formed in the first sidewall 21a along the X direction. The opening of the first groove 213 faces the outside of the housing 20, i.e., the X1 direction opposite to X2. The sensor assembly 80 is disposed in the first groove 213. Along the X1 direction, the third sensor layer 83 of the sensor assembly 80 is opposite to the bottom wall of the first groove 213, and the first groove 213 is filled with an elastic insulating material 214, thereby preventing the surface of the sensor assembly 80 from contacting the inner wall of the first groove 213. This prevents the metal on the first sidewall 21a from affecting the second touch sensor on the second sensor layer 82, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the second touch sensor. Furthermore, the elastic insulating material 214 can deform when the user holds the sensor assembly 80 of the electronic device 100, so that the pressure sensor in the sensor assembly 80 can detect the user's grip force.

[0140] Reference Figure 3B A third through hole 27 is also formed on the bottom wall of the first groove 213, which connects the first groove 213 and the first receiving cavity 31. That is, the third through hole 27 connects the first groove 213 and the interior of the housing 20. A part of the second circuit board (support plate) 81 (as an example of an electrical connection structure) can be electrically connected to the main board in the first receiving cavity 31 through the third through hole 27 to transmit the detection data of the second touch sensor and the pressure sensor.

[0141] Below, we introduce another scenario where touch sensors and pressure sensors are installed on the side wall of electronic device 100.

[0142] For example, Figure 4A According to some embodiments of this application, a structural schematic diagram of a middle frame is shown. Figure 4B A cross-sectional structural diagram of an electronic device including a touch screen and a back cover is shown. Figure 4A (Cross-sectional view of DD).

[0143] Reference Figure 4A and Figure 4BThe first sidewall 21a of the frame 21 of the electronic device 100 includes a frame metal 21a1 and a frame plastic 21a2, and the second sidewall 21b of the frame 21 includes a frame metal 21b1 and a frame plastic 21b2. Along the X direction, a second groove 215 is formed in the frame plastic 21a2 of the first sidewall 21a, and the opening of the second groove 215 faces inward toward the interior of the frame 21, i.e., the X2 direction. The bottom wall of the second groove 215 is the frame plastic 21a2, which is an elastic insulating material. A sensor assembly 80 can be disposed within the second groove 215. For example, along the X direction, the sensor assembly 80 is attached to the frame plastic 21a2 at the bottom of the second groove 215 using adhesive 217. Along the X direction, a fixing assembly 216 is also provided on the first sidewall 21a, which may include, for example, a bracket 216a and a buffer pad 216b. Along the X2 direction, the sensor assembly 80, the buffer pad 216b, and the bracket 216a are stacked sequentially. The pressure sensor on the third sensor layer 83 and the bracket 216a are in contact with the opposite ends of the buffer pad 216b along the X direction. It can be understood that the bracket 216a and the buffer pad 216b can provide support force along the X direction to the pressure sensor when it is pressed. The buffer pad 216 is elastic and can fill the space between the bracket 216 and the pressure sensor, allowing the pressure sensor to be supported by the bracket 216a, thereby detecting pressure.

[0144] Reference Figure 4B The first sidewall 21a is also provided with a fastener 218. Along the Z direction, the fastener 218 is stacked with the middle plate 212, and a first slot 218a is formed on the side of the fastener 218 opposite to the middle plate 212. Along the Z direction, a second slot 212a is formed on the part of the middle plate 212 opposite to the first slot 218a. The bracket 216a has protrusions 216a1 at both ends opposite to each other along the Z direction. The protrusions 216a1 of the bracket 216a are respectively engaged with the first slot 218a and the second slot 212a, thereby fixing it to the first sidewall 21a.

[0145] It is understood that the mid-frame plastic 21a2 is an elastic structure that can be compressed along the X direction. Therefore, when a user holds the electronic device 100, if they grip a portion of the mid-frame plastic 21a2, they can exert pressure on the mid-frame plastic 21a2, which can be detected by the pressure sensor in the sensor assembly 80. The electronic device 100 can determine the user's grip position based on the pressure sensors at different locations. Thus, based on the data from the pressure sensor and the second touch sensor, the electronic device 100 can more accurately determine the user's grip posture.

[0146] It is understood that a second groove 215' can be opened on the second sidewall 21b in a similar manner to that on the first sidewall 21a, and structures such as sensor assembly 80', adhesive backing 217' and bracket 216' can be arranged there.

[0147] In some embodiments of this application, the sensor assembly 80 may be disposed in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 of the electronic device 100. It is understood that the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 are areas frequently held by the user. Therefore, arranging the sensor assembly 80 in the first edge region M1 and the second edge region M2 facilitates the electronic device 100 in acquiring data when the user holds the electronic device 100, thereby more accurately predicting the user's grip posture. This allows the electronic device to adjust the controls of the touchscreen 10 according to the user's grip posture, making it easier for the user to operate the electronic device 100 under the current grip posture.

[0148] In some embodiments of this application, among the plurality of second touch sensors distributed in the first edge region M1, the ratio of the distance between two second touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the first sidewall 21a is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, in the first edge region M1, the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm; and / or,

[0149] Among the multiple second touch sensors distributed in the second edge region M2, the ratio of the distance between two second touch sensors located at both ends to the length of the second sidewall 21b is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is less than 10mm. Preferably, in the second edge region M2, the spacing between two adjacent second touch sensors is between 0.3mm and 0.5mm.

[0150] In the plurality of pressure sensors distributed in the first edge region M1, the ratio of the distance between two pressure sensors located at both ends to the length of the first sidewall 21a is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent pressure sensors is less than 10 mm. Preferably, in the first edge region M1, the spacing between two adjacent pressure sensors is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm; and / or,

[0151] Among the multiple pressure sensors distributed in the second edge region M2, the ratio of the distance between two pressure sensors located at both ends to the length of the second sidewall 21b is greater than 0.4, and the spacing between two adjacent pressure sensors is less than 10mm. Preferably, in the second edge region M2, the spacing between two adjacent pressure sensors is between 0.3mm and 0.5mm.

[0152] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the sensor assembly 80 and the first end 23a of the housing 20 along the Y direction is less than the distance between the sensor assembly 20 and the second end 23b. That is, along the Y direction, the sensor assembly 80 is closer to the bottom of the electronic device 100 (the bottom of the electronic device 100 along the Y direction when the user is using it normally). This is the part of the electronic device 100 that the user frequently holds with one hand. This allows the sensor assembly 80 to easily detect the user's grip posture data (the corresponding data detected by the sensor), so that the electronic device 100 can provide the user with appropriate services.

[0153] It is understood that in some embodiments, more sensor components may be arranged on the sidewalls 211 of the midframe 21 of the electronic device 100. For example, sensor components 80 may also be arranged on the third sidewall 21c and the fourth sidewall 21d. The embodiments of this application do not limit the arrangement position of the sensor components 80.

[0154] Through the arrangement of the aforementioned multiple first touch sensors, multiple second touch sensors, and pressure sensors, the electronic device 100 can detect the position where the user holds the electronic device 100. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can predict the user's grip posture based on the data detected by the multiple first touch sensors, multiple second touch sensors, and pressure sensors. Then, the electronic device 100 can move / add controls on the touchscreen 10 to the operation area 12 on the touchscreen 10 to facilitate user operation of the electronic device 100.

[0155] In some embodiments, multiple pressure sensors on the side wall 211 of the electronic device 100 can detect the force with which a user grips the electronic device 100. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can provide corresponding functions based on the force and position of the user's grip. For example, a user can preset a first pressure to turn on the flashlight of the electronic device 100. Then, when the pressure sensors on the side wall 211 of the electronic device 100 detect that the user's grip force exceeds the first pressure, the electronic device 100 can turn on the flashlight, thus facilitating user operation. In other embodiments, the user can set different pressure thresholds on the electronic device 100, or set different grip postures to quickly launch different services of the electronic device 100. This application does not limit the method of quickly launching different services based on different grip postures and different pressures.

[0156] Below, we will introduce a display method.

[0157] For example, Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, a flowchart of an implementation of a display method is shown.

[0158] It is understood that the electronic device 100 described above is the executing entity for each of the following processes. It is also understood that in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device 100 may include multiple first touch sensors 42 and / or sensor components 80 as described in the above embodiments. In describing the following processes, no limitation is made on the executing entity for each process.

[0159] like Figure 5 As shown, the process includes:

[0160] S501, when a user holds an electronic device, acquires multiple first sensor data, the multiple first sensor data including at least data collected by multiple first touch sensors.

[0161] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly on the electronic device is configured with a plurality of first touch sensors. When a user holds the electronic device, the data detected by the plurality of first touch sensors may change; therefore, the electronic device can acquire first sensor data collected by different sensors in real time.

[0162] In some embodiments, the housing assembly of the electronic device further includes a plurality of second touch sensors and a plurality of pressure sensors. The electronic device can also determine the user's grip posture by the data collected by the plurality of second touch sensors and the plurality of pressure sensors. Therefore, the first sensor data may also include the data collected by the plurality of second touch sensors and the plurality of pressure sensors.

[0163] In some embodiments, the touch panel of the touch screen of an electronic device can also detect the user's touch operation. For example, in an electronic device with a curved touch screen, after the user's palm or finger touches the edge areas on both sides of the touch screen (e.g., the first edge area M1 and the second edge area M2), the touch panel of the touch screen can detect the touch data on both edges. Therefore, the first touch sensor data can also include the data detected by the touch panel of the touch screen.

[0164] S502, based on data from multiple first sensors, determines the first display area of ​​the touchscreen, which is the area that the user can touch while holding the electronic device.

[0165] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device can determine the user's grip posture on the electronic device based on a plurality of first touch sensors, a plurality of second touch sensors, a plurality of pressure sensors, and first sensor data corresponding to the touch panel on the touch screen.

[0166] For example, when a user's palm touches an electronic device, the signals detected by the first touch sensor, the second touch sensor, and the touchscreen at the point of contact with the user's palm will change. Based on the detection signals from each of the first touch sensor, the second touch sensor, and the touchscreen, the electronic device can determine which parts of the first touch sensor and / or the second touch sensor are touched, and which parts of the touchscreen are touched, thereby determining the user's grip position on the electronic device. When a user holds an electronic device, they also apply pressure; therefore, by detecting which pressure sensors on the electronic device detect pressure, the user's grip position on the electronic device can also be determined.

[0167] In some embodiments of this application, a first model can be deployed in the electronic device. This first model determines the user's grip posture when holding the electronic device based on data detected by various sensors (including a first touch sensor, a second touch sensor, a touchscreen, and a pressure sensor). Furthermore, a first display area of ​​the electronic device is determined based on the user's grip posture. This first display area may, for example, be the operation area 12 of the touchscreen. It is understood that the first model can be obtained through training based on data samples detected by the various sensors of the electronic device and the corresponding grip postures.

[0168] S503, display the first operation control in the first display area.

[0169] For example, in some embodiments of this application, after the electronic device determines the first display area, it can display the first operation control on the touch screen in the first display area. The first display area is an area that the user can easily touch when holding the electronic device. Therefore, the user can conveniently touch the first operation control in the first display area, making it convenient for the user to operate the electronic device.

[0170] Using the above method, electronic devices can detect the user's grip posture based on sensor data, and then adjust the position of the operation controls on the touch screen to facilitate user operation of the electronic device.

[0171] The following describes the process of displaying operation controls on electronic devices.

[0172] For example, Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this application, an implementation flowchart of an electronic device display operation control is shown.

[0173] It is understood that the entities executing this implementation process are all electronic devices in the embodiments of this application.

[0174] For example, the implementation process includes:

[0175] S601, determine whether the electronic device is being used for the first time.

[0176] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device can determine whether it is being used for the first time after being powered on.

[0177] If the judgment result is yes, then execute S602 to enter the grip posture calibration program and obtain the user's grip posture data.

[0178] If the judgment result is negative, then execute S604 to collect the user's grip information through the sensor.

[0179] S602, enter the grip posture calibration program to obtain user grip posture data.

[0180] Exemplary examples, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device includes a front sensor (e.g., a touch panel on a touchscreen), a rear sensor (e.g., a rear sensor, corresponding to a first touch sensor on a housing assembly), and side sensors (e.g., side sensors, corresponding to a second touch sensor and a pressure sensor on a housing assembly). When a user uses the electronic device for the first time, the electronic device can enter a grip posture calibration program. The grip posture calibration program may, for example, prompt the user to hold the electronic device in different postures, and the electronic device can use corresponding sensors to detect the part of the user holding the electronic device in the corresponding grip posture.

[0181] For example, the electronic device can prompt the user to hold the device with their left hand, and then use the aforementioned sensors to repeatedly detect the first detection data of the user holding the device with their left hand. Then, the electronic device can prompt the user to hold the device with their right hand, and use corresponding sensors to repeatedly detect the part of the device the user is currently holding, and then obtain the second detection data of the user holding the device with their right hand. Similarly, it can prompt the user to hold the device with both hands, and then use corresponding sensors to detect the position of the user's hands holding the device, and obtain the third detection data, and so on. In other embodiments, the user can also customize the grip method, and the corresponding sensors on the electronic device can detect the user's grip position to obtain the corresponding user grip posture data.

[0182] It is understandable that the user's grip posture data corresponds to the data detected by the electronic device's sensors. For example, a user holding the electronic device with their left hand corresponds to the first detection data, a user holding the electronic device with their right hand corresponds to the second detection data, and a user holding the electronic device with both hands corresponds to the third detection data.

[0183] S603 writes the user's grip posture data into the user grip posture database.

[0184] For example, in some embodiments of this application, after the electronic device detects the user's grip posture data through a grip posture calibration program, it can store the user's grip posture data in a user grip posture database so that the electronic device can subsequently adjust the operation controls on the touch screen according to the user's grip posture.

[0185] The S604 uses sensors to collect information about how the user holds the device.

[0186] For example, in some embodiments of this application, if the electronic device detects that the user is not using the electronic device for the first time after powering on, i.e., the user has completed the grip posture calibration procedure, the electronic device can collect the user's grip information through sensors. Alternatively, the electronic device can also collect the user's grip information through sensors after completing the grip posture calibration procedure. For example, the sensors used by the electronic device to collect the user's grip information may include the touch panel of the electronic device's touch screen, a first touch sensor, a second touch sensor, and a pressure sensor on the housing assembly.

[0187] For example, electronic devices can acquire first sensor data collected by the corresponding sensor through a sensor hub, and then use this first sensor data as the user's grip information.

[0188] For example, a sensor hub can connect to various types of sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, acceleration sensors, touch sensors, etc. The sensor hub can manage and configure these sensors, including setting the sensor sampling rate, calibration parameters, etc., and can acquire data from each sensor in real time. It can also perform preliminary preprocessing on the data, such as filtering, noise reduction, and data format conversion, to improve data quality and accuracy. In embodiments of this application, an electronic device can acquire first sensor data measured by a touch panel, a second touch sensor on a housing assembly, and a pressure sensor through a sensor hub.

[0189] S605 performs comprehensive analysis of the user's grip information.

[0190] After acquiring the user's grip information, the electronic device can analyze it. For example, the device can identify sensors in various locations (e.g., the touch sensor on the touch panel of the touchscreen, the second touch sensor and pressure sensor on the side of the device's housing assembly, and the first touch sensor on the back of the device). It then determines the locations of the sensors that detected touch data and those that did not, enabling subsequent identification of the user's grip posture based on this information.

[0191] S606 recognizes the user's grip posture.

[0192] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device can compare the detected user's grip information with the detection data corresponding to the grip posture in the user grip posture library to determine the grip posture corresponding to the current user's grip information.

[0193] It is understood that after the electronic device obtains the user's grip posture data through the grip posture calibration program, it can input the user's grip posture information into the first model when recognizing the user's grip posture. In some embodiments, the first model can output the user's grip posture based on the grip posture information input by the user.

[0194] For example, the first model can compare the first sensor data of the electronic device in the currently detected user grip information with each detection data in the user grip posture library, thereby determining the detection data in the user grip posture library whose similarity to the current first sensor data exceeds the similarity threshold, and taking the grip posture corresponding to the detection data as the user's current first grip posture.

[0195] For example, if the electronic device matches the user's grip information with the first detection data in the user grip posture library, then the grip posture corresponding to the first detection data (i.e., holding the electronic device with the left hand) can be taken as the current user's grip posture.

[0196] In other embodiments, the first model may also be trained based on sensor data samples and the corresponding grip postures. For example, when training the first model, sensor data samples can be input into the first model, and the inferred grip posture output by the first model can be compared with the grip posture corresponding to the sensor data samples to obtain the error between the inferred grip posture and the grip posture corresponding to the sensor data samples. If the error is less than a preset value, the first model can be considered to have completed training. When the electronic device recognizes the user's grip posture, the user's grip information can be input into the first model, and the first model can output the corresponding grip posture based on the user's grip information.

[0197] S607 determines whether the threshold has been reached.

[0198] For example, in the embodiments of this application, after the electronic device recognizes the user's grip posture, it can compare the current grip posture with the previous grip posture to see if the change value of the first sensor data corresponding to the grip posture reaches a threshold.

[0199] If the judgment result is yes, then execute S609 to adapt the operation control.

[0200] If the judgment result is negative, then execute S608 to maintain the status quo.

[0201] S608, maintain the status quo.

[0202] For example, in some embodiments of this application, if the change between the first sensor data corresponding to the user's current grip posture and the first sensor data corresponding to the user's grip posture detected last time does not reach a threshold, it can be determined that the user's operating area and operating blind area have not changed. In this case, the electronic device does not need to adjust the position of the operating controls, thereby maintaining the status quo.

[0203] S609, adapted for operation controls.

[0204] For example, in some embodiments of this application, when the electronic device detects that the change between the first sensor data corresponding to the user's current grip posture and the first sensor data corresponding to the user's grip posture detected last time reaches a threshold, it can be determined that the user's operating area and operating blind area have changed. Then, the electronic device can adjust the operation controls on the touch screen according to the operating area and operating blind area corresponding to the current user's grip posture, thereby facilitating user operation.

[0205] For example, if the corresponding operation control is located in the operation blind spot, the electronic device can move / add the operation control to the operation area (i.e., the first display area) so that the user can touch the operation control.

[0206] For example, refer to Figure 7A and Figure 7B ,in, Figure 7A This diagram illustrates a user holding an electronic device with their right hand. Figure 7B This diagram illustrates a user holding an electronic device with their left hand.

[0207] like Figure 7A As shown, in the original interface of the electronic device 100 without adapted operation controls, the user's right thumb is not easily able to touch the operation control n1 (as an example of the first operation control), causing inconvenience to the user. After the above-mentioned grip detection, the electronic device 100 can adapt the control operation, thereby moving the control n1 to an area that is easy for the user's fingers to touch, so as to facilitate the user's operation.

[0208] For example, refer to Figure 7B When the user shifts to holding the electronic device 100 with their left hand, if the operation control is not adapted, the user may not be able to easily touch the operation control n2 on the touch screen 10 (as an example of the first operation control). After the user's grip is detected, the electronic device 100 can move the operation control n2 to a part that is easy for the user to touch.

[0209] For example, Figure 8According to some embodiments of this application, a schematic diagram of an adapted operation control is shown.

[0210] like Figure 8 As shown, after opening interface H1, electronic device 100 can return via control n3 (as an example of the first operation control). However, when a user holds electronic device 100 with their right hand, it may be difficult to reach control n3. After the electronic device detects the user's grip, it can adapt the operation control, thereby moving control n3 to an area that is easily accessible to the user, making it convenient for the user to click control n3 to return.

[0211] For example, Figure 9 According to some embodiments of this application, a schematic diagram of an adapted shooting button is shown.

[0212] like Figure 9 As shown, when the electronic device 100 is taking a picture on the shooting interface H2, because the user is holding the electronic device 100 with their right hand, it is not easy for them to touch the shooting button n4 (as an example of the first operation control). After the electronic device 100 detects the grip posture, a shooting button n4' can be added to the shooting interface H2. The user can easily touch the shooting button n4', thus facilitating the user's shooting operation.

[0213] In some embodiments of this application, if the electronic device determines that the user's current grip posture is completely different from the previously identified grip posture after recognizing the user's grip posture, such as determining that the user has changed from holding the electronic device with the left hand to holding the electronic device with the right hand, or changing to holding the electronic device with both hands, the operation controls can be directly adapted.

[0214] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the corresponding operating area and blind spot may differ when a user holds the electronic device with the same acquiring hand. For example, the user may hold the bottom and top portions of the electronic device with their right hand (e.g., refer to...). Figure 2A The operating area and blind zone of the electronic device 100 (at both ends along the Y direction) may be different. Therefore, even if the electronic device detects that the user's current grip posture is the same as the previously detected grip posture, if the change in the first sensor data corresponding to the current grip posture relative to the first sensor data corresponding to the previous grip posture reaches a threshold, it is still necessary to adapt the operation controls.

[0215] S610 acquires the user's grip posture data.

[0216] For example, in some embodiments of this application, during the use of an electronic device, the electronic device can also acquire the user's grip posture data, which includes the user's current grip posture and the sensor data corresponding to the current grip posture.

[0217] S611 learns user habits.

[0218] For example, in some embodiments of this application, after the electronic device obtains the user's grip posture data, it can learn the user's grip habits based on the user's grip posture data, thereby facilitating the determination of the user's grip posture, as well as the operation area and blind spot when the user holds the electronic device, so that the user can adapt the operation controls.

[0219] S612, Correction threshold.

[0220] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic device learns the user's usage habits based on the user's grip posture data during use, and can adjust the threshold according to the usage habits so that the electronic device can better determine whether the operation controls need to be adapted, thereby improving the accuracy of the electronic device in adjusting the operation controls and making it more convenient for the user.

[0221] It is understandable that a first touch sensor, a second touch sensor, and a pressure sensor can be installed on the casing of an electronic device to detect the area where the user is holding the device and determine the user's grip posture. Then, the electronic device can adjust the operation controls on its touchscreen according to the user's grip posture, thereby facilitating operation of the device under the current grip posture and improving the user experience.
