Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to an electronic device and electronic system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and robots are equipped with external components such as camera modules and speaker modules. In existing technologies, the installation positions of these external components on electronic devices are relatively limited, which cannot meet the needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an electronic device and an electronic system in which external devices can be installed in multiple locations on the electronic device, and information interaction can be achieved in different locations.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a first communication module. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are spaced apart, and both the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are used to connect to external devices. The first communication module is located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the first communication module can communicate with the external device whether the external device is connected to the first connecting portion or the external device is connected to the second connecting portion.

[0006] This application provides an electronic device that, through the arrangement of the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the first communication module, can connect to and communicate with external devices at different locations of the electronic device. It can meet the usage requirements of external devices at multiple locations without setting up multiple external devices, thereby saving the cost of external devices. Furthermore, using a single first communication module to achieve connection with external devices at different locations can also improve the utilization rate of the first communication module, save the cost of using the first communication module, and improve the space utilization rate of the electronic device.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first communication module includes a first transmitter and receiver and a second transmitter and receiver spaced apart; the first transmitter and receiver is closer to the first connection portion than the second transmitter and receiver; the second transmitter and receiver is closer to the second connection portion than the first transmitter and receiver.

[0008] This application provides an electronic device that includes a first transmitter and receiver and a second transmitter and receiver spaced apart by a first communication module. Optionally, the first transmitter and receiver can communicate with an external device connected to a first connection part, and the second transmitter and receiver can communicate with an external device connected to a second connection part. This shortens the communication path between the external device and the first and second transmitter and receivers, reduces signal transmission time, improves communication speed, and reduces the probability of signal delay.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first transmitter and / or the second transmitter includes a cavity antenna.

[0010] This application provides an electronic device that, through the arrangement of a cavity antenna, has excellent wideband characteristics and is easy to integrate into the electronic device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first communication module includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a third circuit board. The second circuit board and the first circuit board are stacked together, as are the third circuit board and the first circuit board. A first transmitter and receiver are disposed on the first circuit board and the second circuit board, and a second transmitter and receiver are disposed on the first circuit board and the third circuit board.

[0012] This application provides an electronic device in which a first transmitter and receiver and a second transmitter and receiver share a first circuit board, which can save the use of circuit boards and reduce costs. Furthermore, electronic components can be installed on the first circuit board, and one electronic component can interact with the first transmitter and receiver and the second transmitter and receiver. Therefore, when external devices are connected to the first connection part and the second connection part, information interaction between the two locations can be achieved using one electronic component, which can save the number of electronic components and further simplify the internal circuit of the electronic device.

[0074] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a front view of the electronic device 10 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the rear structure of the electronic device. The electronic device may include a screen 15 and a front-facing camera 17 embedded within it. The screen 15 has a recessed portion at its edge or center to allow the light-receiving end of the front-facing camera 17 embedded in the electronic device 15 to receive signals. However, this recessed portion occupies screen area, reducing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0075] To improve screen-to-body ratio, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a front view of an electronic device 10 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows the rear structure of the electronic device. The front-facing camera 17 is connected to the edge of the electronic device 10 as an external device 20, and the rear-facing camera 18 is embedded in the back cover of the electronic device 10. However, the connection position between the external device 20 and the electronic device 10 is relatively simple and cannot meet the user's needs.

The embodiment of this application provides an electronic device 10, including a first connecting portion 11, a second connecting portion 12, and a first communication module 13. The first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are spaced apart, and both the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are used to connect to an external device 20.

[0078] This application provides an electronic device 10. Through the arrangement of the first connecting part 11, the second connecting part 12, and the first communication module 13, external devices 20 can be connected to and communicate with external devices 20 at different locations of the electronic device 10. The use of external devices 20 at multiple locations can be met without setting up multiple external devices 20, which can save the cost of external devices 20. Furthermore, using a single first communication module 13 to connect to external devices 20 at different locations can also improve the utilization rate of the first communication module 13, save the cost of using the first communication module 13, and improve the space utilization rate of the electronic device 10.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first communication module 13 includes a first transmitter and receiver and a second transmitter and receiver spaced apart; the first transmitter and receiver is closer to the first connection portion 11 than the second transmitter and receiver; the second transmitter and receiver is closer to the second connection portion 12 than the first transmitter and receiver.

[0081] This application provides an electronic device 10, which includes a first transmitter and receiver and a second transmitter and receiver arranged at intervals through a first communication module 13. Optionally, the first transmitter and receiver can communicate with an external device 20 connected to a first connection part 11, and the second transmitter and receiver can communicate with an external device 20 connected to a second connection part 12. This shortens the communication path between the external device 20 and the first and second transmitter and receivers, reduces signal transmission time, improves communication speed, and reduces the probability of signal delay.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first transmitter and / or the second transmitter includes a cavity antenna.

[0083] The first transmitter and receiver may include a cavity antenna, or the second transmitter and receiver may include a cavity antenna. Of course, both the first transmitter and receiver and the second transmitter and receiver may also include cavity antennas.

Furthermore, electronic components can be installed on the first circuit board, and one electronic component can interact with the first transmitter and receiver and the second transmitter and receiver. Therefore, when external devices are connected to the first connection part and the second connection part, information interaction between the two locations can be achieved using one electronic component, which can save on the number of electronic components and further simplify the internal circuit of the electronic device.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second circuit board 132 and the third circuit board 133 are located on opposite sides of the first circuit board 131.
