Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, specifically relating to an electronic device and a control method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly widely used, enabling functions such as video recording and remote communication. However, during use, there is a possibility that electronic devices may be dropped into liquids. While some electronic devices may be waterproof, it is difficult for them to detect whether they are submerged in liquid. Therefore, if an electronic device is submerged to a depth greater than its waterproof depth, it risks liquid ingress and malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to provide an electronic device that at least solves the problem that electronic devices are difficult to detect whether they are in liquid, and therefore, when the depth of the electronic device in the liquid exceeds the depth corresponding to the waterproof capability of the electronic device, the electronic device is at risk of liquid ingress failure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a frame and a detection component; The frame includes a support section; The detection component is disposed on the support portion; The frame is provided with a detection channel, the first end of the detection channel is connected to the outside of the frame, and the second end of the detection channel is connected to the detection component; The detection components include: a pressure detection component and a liquid inlet detection component.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of this application propose a control method applied to the electronic device described in the first aspect above, the control method comprising: Upon obtaining the first pressure value output by the pressure detection component and the first conduction signal output by the liquid inlet detection component, the electronic device is controlled to issue a prompt message or to shut down based on the first pressure value.

[0006] In this embodiment, the detection component is located on the support portion, and a detection channel is provided within the frame. The first end of the detection channel is connected to the outside of the frame, and the second end of the detection channel is connected to the detection component. Therefore, the inside and outside of the frame are connected through the detection channel, and the detection channel connects the outside of the frame to the detection component. Since the detection component includes a pressure detection component and a liquid ingress detection component, once the electronic device falls into liquid, the liquid enters the detection channel through the first end. As the liquid moves along the detection channel to the second end, the pressure detection component can detect the pressure value, and the liquid ingress detection component can detect that the electronic device is in liquid. Thus, the electronic device can know that it is in liquid, and may issue a warning message or even shut down, protecting the electronic device from damage to its components caused by liquid when it is powered on. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a pressure detection component and a liquid ingress detection component, the electronic device can be effectively detected when it falls into a liquid. This allows the electronic device to determine that it is in a liquid and then issue a warning message or even shut down to protect it. That is, when the depth of the electronic device in the liquid is greater than the depth corresponding to the waterproof capability of the electronic device, the electronic device has already shut down, effectively reducing the risk of liquid ingress failure and protecting the electronic device.

[0012] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0013] This application provides an electronic device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device includes: a frame 10 and a detection component 20; the frame 10 includes a support portion 100; the detection component 20 is disposed on the support portion 100; a detection channel 101 is provided inside the frame 10, the first end 1011 of the detection channel 101 is connected to the outside of the frame 10, and the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101 is connected to the detection component 20; wherein, the detection component 20 includes: a pressure detection component 21 and a liquid inlet detection component 22.

[0014] In this embodiment, since the detection component 20 is disposed on the support portion 100, and the frame 10 has a detection channel 101 inside, the first end 1011 of the detection channel 101 is connected to the outside of the frame 10, and the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101 is connected to the detection component 20. Therefore, the inside and outside of the frame 10 are connected through the detection channel 101, and the detection channel 101 connects the outside of the frame 10 to the detection component 20. Since the detection component 20 includes a pressure detection component 21 and a liquid ingress detection component 22, once the electronic device falls into the liquid, the liquid enters the detection channel 101 through the first end 1011, and as the liquid moves along the detection channel 101 to the second end 1012, the pressure detection component 21 can detect the pressure value, and the liquid ingress detection component 22 can detect that the electronic device is in the liquid. Thus, the electronic device can know that it is in the liquid, and thus issue a warning message, or even shut down the electronic device, to protect the electronic device and prevent damage to the components in the electronic device from the liquid when the electronic device is in the powered-on state. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the pressure detection component 21 and the liquid ingress detection component 22, the electronic device can be effectively detected to be in liquid when it falls into liquid. This allows the electronic device to determine that it is in liquid and issue a warning message or even shut down to protect it. That is, when the depth of the electronic device in the liquid is greater than the depth corresponding to the waterproof capability of the electronic device, the electronic device has already shut down, effectively reducing the risk of liquid ingress failure and protecting the electronic device.

[0015] It should be noted that the electronic device includes a controller (not shown in the figure); in some embodiments of this application, the controller may be a processor (CPU) mounted on the circuit board 30. Both the pressure detection component 21 and the liquid ingress detection component 22 are electrically connected to the controller. After the controller shuts down the electronic device, the liquid submerges the device, but the liquid has minimal impact on it, causing minimal damage. This allows the electronic device to be used again after being retrieved and dried. In this embodiment, the electronic device can be effectively protected when it falls into liquid, i.e., the device can be shut down to prevent significant damage from the liquid, ensuring it remains usable after retrieval.

[0016] In addition, in this embodiment, the controller can be a circuit board 30 with control functions, wherein the circuit board 30 can be a printed circuit board 30. Of course, the controller can also be a chip with control functions. In this respect, this embodiment does not limit the scope.

[0017] Understandably, the support section 100 has a settling tank, and the detection component 20 is set inside the settling tank.

[0018] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the frame 10 includes a border 120 and a support portion 100, the border 120 is disposed around the support portion 100, and the aforementioned detection component 20 is disposed on the support portion 100.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the frame 120 and the support portion 100 enclose a mounting groove, and the circuit board 30 and the detection component 20 are both disposed in the mounting groove.

[0020] The electronic device also includes a rear shell, which together with the frame 10 forms a housing. The housing contains various components of the electronic device, a motherboard bracket, a circuit board 30, etc.

[0021] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the detection component 20 includes a substrate 23; the liquid ingress detection component 22 is disposed on the substrate 23; a notch 231 is provided on the side of the substrate 23 facing the support portion 100; the liquid ingress detection component 22 includes at least two first conductive elements 221, the first conductive elements 221 are disposed on the substrate 23, and a portion of the first conductive elements 221 extends into the notch 231.

[0022] Since the liquid ingress detection component 22 is disposed on the substrate 23, and the substrate 23 has a notch 231 on the side facing the support portion 100, and the first conductive element 221 is disposed on the substrate 23, with a portion of the first conductive element 221 extending into the notch 231, once the electronic device falls into the liquid, the liquid flows into the detection channel 101 and flows to the side of the substrate 23 facing the support portion 100. The liquid will then flow into the notch 231 and contact the first conductive element 221. That is, when at least two first conductive elements 221 are in contact with the liquid, at least two first conductive elements 221 of the liquid ingress detection component 22 will be conductive, allowing the liquid ingress detection component 22 to detect the liquid signal and determine that the electronic device has fallen into the liquid. In other words, by providing a notch 231 on the substrate 23 and having a portion of the first conductive element 221 extend into the notch 231, the liquid ingress detection component 22 can easily detect liquid information.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, at least two first conductive elements 221 may be disposed on the side of the substrate 23 away from the support portion 100, and the substrate 23 has at least two notches 231. A portion of each first conductive element 221 extends through the substrate 23 into a notch 231, that is, the first conductive element 221 and the notch 231 correspond one-to-one. This arrangement effectively prevents impurities, dust, etc., entering the detection channel 101 from easily affecting the first conductive elements 221, thus protecting the first conductive elements 221. It should also be noted that the shape of the notch 231 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the notch 231 can be square, or for another example, the shape of the notch 231 can be circular. In this regard, the embodiments of this application do not limit it.

[0024] Of course, in this embodiment, the first conductive element 221 can also be disposed on the side of the substrate 23 facing the support portion 100, which is equivalent to the first conductive element 221 directly facing the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101, so that the liquid at the second end 1012 can directly contact the first conductive element 221.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of first conductive elements 221 can be two. In this case, when both first conductive elements 221 are in contact with the liquid, they will be connected through the liquid, which can be water, and the electronic device can detect the liquid ingress. Of course, the number of first conductive elements 221 can also be other numbers. For example, the number of first conductive elements 221 can be four. In this case, when all four first conductive elements 221 are in contact with the liquid, they will be connected, and the liquid information can be detected. The specific number of first conductive elements 221 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0026] In addition, in the embodiments of this application, the first conductive element 221 may be a conductive layer printed on the substrate 23. Of course, the first conductive element 221 may also be a conductive line or a conductive metal sheet disposed on the substrate 23.

[0027] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the substrate 23 has a pressure detection area 232, and the pressure detection component 21 includes at least two second conductive elements 211. The second conductive elements 211 are disposed on the side of the substrate 23 away from the support portion 100, and the second conductive elements 211 are electrically connected to the pressure detection area 232. The pressure detection area 232 is opposite to the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101.

[0028] Since the pressure detection area 232 is opposite to the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101, once the electronic device falls into the liquid, the liquid enters the detection channel 101 and flows to the second end 1012, thus contacting the pressure detection area 232, which can then detect the pressure value. Because the second conductive element 211 is located on the side of the substrate 23 away from the support portion 100 and is electrically connected to the pressure detection area 232, the pressure value detected by the pressure detection area 232 can be transmitted to the second conductive element 211, allowing it to receive the pressure value and thus enabling the pressure detection assembly 21 to detect it. In other words, by electrically connecting the second conductive element 211 to the pressure detection area 232, the pressure detection assembly 21 can easily detect the pressure value.

[0029] It should be noted that the second conductive element 211 can be a conductive layer printed on the substrate 23. In this case, the conductive layer is in contact with the pressure detection area 232, so that the conductive layer is electrically connected to the pressure detection area 232. Of course, the second conductive element 211 can also be a conductive line or a conductive metal sheet provided on the substrate 23, and one end of the conductive line or one end of the conductive metal sheet is electrically connected to the pressure detection area 232.

[0030] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the electronic device also includes a circuit board 30 and an elastic conductive element 40. The substrate 23 is located between the circuit board 30 and the carrier portion 100, and the elastic conductive element 40 is located between the substrate 23 and the circuit board 30. At least one of the first conductive element 221 and the second conductive element 211 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40.

[0031] Since the substrate 23 is located between the circuit board 30 and the support portion 100, and the elastic conductive element 40 is located between the substrate 23 and the circuit board 30, at least one of the first conductive element 221 and the second conductive element 211 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40. Thus, the circuit board 30 can receive pressure signals (i.e., pressure values) and / or liquid information through the elastic conductive element 40. In other words, by providing the circuit board 30 and the elastic conductive element 40, it can be ensured that the information detected by one of the first conductive element 221 and the second conductive element 211 continues to be transmitted to the circuit board 30, allowing information transmission to continue.

[0032] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, at least one of a pressure-sensitive resistor, a Wheatstone bridge circuit, and other pressure-sensitive modules is provided in the pressure detection area 232. This application does not limit this. When pressure is applied to the pressure detection area 232, the corresponding pressure-sensitive module deforms, thereby generating an electrical signal that is transmitted to the controller. The controller analyzes the electrical signal to identify the magnitude of the pressure applied to the pressure detection area.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, only the first conductive element 221 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40, only the second conductive element 211 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40, or both the first conductive element 221 and the second conductive element 211 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific connection. Specifically, when the first conductive element 221 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40, the number of elastic conductive elements 40 is equal to the number of the first conductive elements 221, that is, each first conductive element 221 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through one elastic conductive element 40; when the second conductive element 211 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40, the number of elastic conductive elements 40 is equal to the number of the second conductive elements 211, that is, each second conductive element 211 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through one elastic conductive element 40; when both the first conductive element 221 and the second conductive element 211 are electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the elastic conductive element 40, the number of elastic conductive elements 40 is equal to the sum of the number of the first conductive elements 221 and the number of the second conductive elements 211, such that each first conductive element 221 and each second conductive element 211 are electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through one elastic conductive element 40.

[0034] It should also be noted that one end of the elastic conductive member 40 can abut against the circuit board 30, and the other end of the elastic conductive member 40 can abut against the first conductive member 221, and / or abut against the second conductive member 211.

[0035] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device also includes a circuit board 30 and a pressing member 50. The detection component 20 is located between the circuit board 30 and the carrier part 100, and the pressing member 50 is located between the detection component 20 and the circuit board 30. One end of the pressing member 50 abuts against the detection component 20, and the other end of the pressing member 50 abuts against the circuit board 30.

[0036] This design effectively prevents the detection component 20 from being separated from the support portion 100 due to excessive liquid pressure transmitted from the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101, or to prevent gaps between the detection component 20 and the support portion 100. This would allow external liquid to flow into the electronic device through the detection channel 101, potentially damaging internal components. Conversely, it prevents external impurities or dust from entering the electronic device through the detection channel 101 and affecting internal components. In short, by providing the pressure member 50, a sealed connection between the detection component 20 and the support portion 100 is effectively ensured, preventing external liquids, impurities, and dust from entering the electronic device and protecting its internal components.

[0037] It should be noted that the pressing member 50 can be an elastic component, which allows for less consideration of processing errors between the circuit board 30 and the detection component 20 during installation. The pressing member 50 relies on its own elastic properties to abut against both the circuit board 30 and the detection component 20. For example, the pressing member 50 can be made of foam, or silicone. Of course, the pressing member 50 can also be made of a non-elastic material, such as rigid plastic or ceramic. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific application in this regard.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pressing member 50 can be annular, so that when the pressing member 50 presses against the detection component 20, it can press against the detection component 20 as much as possible, resulting in a better pressing effect on the detection component 20. Of course, the shape of the pressing member 50 can also be other shapes, for example, the pressing member 50 is block-shaped, or cylindrical, or prismatic. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the pressing member 50.

[0039] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the bearing part 100 is provided with a detection groove 103, and the second end 1012 is opened at the bottom of the detection groove 103, with the notch 231 facing the inside of the detection groove 103.

[0040] By setting the detection groove 103, the space at the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101 is effectively expanded. This allows the liquid to flow into the detection groove 103 after the electronic device falls into the liquid, as the liquid flows through the detection channel 101 to the second end 1012. The notch 231 faces inwards towards the detection groove 103, ensuring that the liquid can flow to the notch 231 and contact the first conductive element 221, thus ensuring that the first conductive element 221 can detect the liquid information. Furthermore, the presence of the detection groove 103 avoids the problem of insufficient liquid contact with the first conductive element 221 when the second end 1012 is small.

[0041] Of course, in this embodiment, when the size of the second end 1012 of the detection channel 101 is large, the detection groove 103 may not be provided. In this case, the notch 231 is equivalent to facing the second end 1012.

[0042] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the detection component 20 is bonded to the carrier 100 via adhesive 70. This arrangement ensures a sealed connection between the detection component 20 and the carrier 100, preventing liquid entering the detection channel 101 from flowing into the interior of the electronic device and potentially damaging internal components.

[0043] It should be noted that the adhesive 70 can be double-sided adhesive, but it can also be other types, such as waterproof adhesive. The specific type of adhesive 70 is not limited in this embodiment. It is understood that, as... Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive component 70 has a third through hole opposite to the second end 1012. The third through hole is connected to the second end 1012 and the detection groove 103, and liquid can contact the detection component 20 through the third through hole. It can be understood that the third through hole is also opposite to the detection groove 103, that is, the second end 1012, the detection groove 103, and the third through hole are connected in sequence.

[0044] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device also includes an acoustic-to-electric conversion assembly 60 and a circuit board 30; the acoustic-to-electric conversion assembly 60 is located on the side of the circuit board 30 away from the support portion 100, and the support portion 100 is also provided with a sound inlet channel 102, the first end 1011 of the sound inlet channel 102 is connected to the detection channel 101, the circuit board 30 has a first through hole 301, and the second end 1012 of the sound inlet channel 102 is connected to the sound receiving hole of the acoustic-to-electric conversion assembly 60 through the first through hole 301.

[0045] With this configuration, external sound from the electronic device can be transmitted through the first end 1011 of the detection channel 101 to the detection channel 101, and then through the detection channel 101 to the sound inlet channel 102. Afterward, the sound is transmitted through the first through hole 301 of the circuit board 30 to the sound receiving hole of the acoustic-electric conversion component 60, allowing the acoustic-electric conversion component 60 to receive external sound from the electronic device. In other words, by setting up the sound inlet channel 102, the detection channel 101 is effectively reused. The detection channel 101 not only allows the pressure detection component 21 to detect pressure values, but also allows sound to be transmitted to the acoustic-electric conversion component 60. This avoids the problem of additionally setting up a channel in the support part 100 for the acoustic-electric conversion component 60, which would affect the strength of the support part 100 of the electronic device and increase the complexity of the electronic device's manufacturing process.

[0046] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the sound-to-electric conversion component 60 may be at least one of a microphone, a speaker, and a receiver.

[0047] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may further include a sealing foam 61, which is disposed between the circuit board 30 and the inner wall of the support portion 100, that is, between the other end of the sound inlet channel 102 and the circuit board 30. Thus, the sealing foam 61 can seal the other end of the sound inlet channel 102, ensuring that sound can pass through the sealing foam 61 and be transmitted to the sound-to-electric conversion assembly 60. Figure 3 The dashed lines in the diagram indicate the direction of sound transmission.

[0048] It is understandable that the sealing foam 61 is arranged around the end of the sound inlet channel 102; at the same time, the sealing foam 61 is provided with a second through hole, which is opposite to the first through hole 301 and the end of the sound inlet channel 102, so that sound can be transmitted into the first through hole 301 through the second through hole. That is, the sound inlet channel 102, the second through hole, and the first through hole 301 are connected in sequence.

[0049] This application provides a control method applicable to any of the electronic devices described in the above embodiments, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the control method includes: Step 1001: When the first pressure value output by the pressure detection component is obtained and the first conduction signal output by the liquid inlet detection component is obtained, the electronic device is controlled to issue a prompt message or the electronic device is controlled to shut down based on the first pressure value.

[0050] The detection component is located at the second end of the detection channel. The detection component includes a pressure detection component and a liquid ingress detection component. Therefore, the pressure detection component can detect the pressure value at the second end and obtain the first pressure value directly from the detection component. When the electronic device falls into the liquid, the liquid ingress detection component can detect the liquid information and output the first conduction signal, thus obtaining the first conduction signal directly from the liquid ingress detection component.

[0051] Specifically, based on the first pressure value, the electronic device can be controlled to issue a warning message or shut down. That is, the electronic device can be controlled to issue a warning message or shut down based on the first pressure value. When the electronic device issues a warning message, it can remind the user to retrieve the electronic device. When the electronic device is shut down, it can be shut down to protect the electronic device and prevent the liquid from having a significant impact on the electronic device after it falls into the liquid.

[0052] In addition, in some implementations, the way to control the electronic device to issue a prompt message or control the electronic device to shut down based on the first pressure value can be as follows: when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold and less than the second pressure threshold, control the electronic device to issue a prompt message; when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the second pressure threshold, control the electronic device to shut down.

[0053] The first pressure threshold is less than the second pressure threshold.

[0054] When the first pressure value is greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold but less than the second pressure threshold, the electronic device issues a warning message. This indicates the electronic device has fallen to a relatively shallow depth in the liquid. The greater the depth of the liquid, the greater the pressure. The warning message alerts the user, allowing for quick retrieval of the device. When the first pressure value is greater than or equal to the second pressure threshold, the electronic device shuts down. This indicates the device has fallen to a greater depth, reaching the limit of its waterproof capability. The shutdown effectively protects the device from significant liquid damage that could lead to malfunction.

[0055] In addition, in some implementations, before the control electronic device issues a prompt message when the first pressure value is greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold and less than the second pressure threshold, the control method further includes: determining the usage time of the electronic device; and determining the first pressure threshold and the second pressure threshold based on the usage time.

[0056] In this system, after the electronic device is activated by the user for the first time, the controller of the electronic device can record the usage time of the electronic device, so that the controller can determine the usage duration of the electronic device during the user's use of the electronic device.

[0057] As electronic devices are used, their waterproof capability decreases over time. In this application, a first pressure threshold and a second pressure threshold are determined based on the usage time. This means that the first and second pressure thresholds that are currently suitable for the electronic device can be dynamically determined based on the usage time. This allows for precise and effective control of the electronic device to issue a warning message or shut down after it falls into liquid, preventing damage to the electronic device due to failure to shut it down effectively after it falls into liquid.

[0058] It should be noted that when determining the first pressure threshold and the second pressure threshold based on the usage duration, the determination can be made according to the correspondence between the usage duration and the pressure threshold. The correspondence between the usage duration and the pressure threshold includes multiple usage durations, multiple first pressure thresholds, and multiple second pressure thresholds. One usage duration corresponds to one first pressure threshold and one second pressure threshold. Therefore, once the usage duration of the electronic device is determined, the first pressure threshold and the second pressure threshold corresponding to that usage duration can be directly determined.

[0059] For example, the correspondence between usage duration and pressure threshold includes three usage durations, three first pressure thresholds, and three second pressure thresholds. The three usage durations are 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. The three first pressure thresholds are 0.3 kPa, 0.5 kPa, and 0.7 kPa, respectively. The three second pressure thresholds are 0.4 kPa, 0.6 kPa, and 0.8 kPa, respectively. The first pressure threshold corresponding to 1 year of use is 0.7 kPa, and the corresponding second pressure threshold is 0.8 kPa. The first pressure threshold corresponding to 2 years of use is 0.5 kPa, and the corresponding second pressure threshold is 0.6 kPa. The first pressure threshold corresponding to 3 years of use is 0.3 kPa, and the corresponding second pressure threshold is 0.4 kPa. Therefore, if an electronic device has been used for 2 years, the first pressure threshold will be determined to be 0.5 kPa, and the second pressure threshold will be determined to be 0.6 kPa.

[0060] In addition, in some implementations, after controlling the electronic device to shut down when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the second pressure threshold, the control method further includes: displaying the pressure value detected by the pressure detection component when the electronic device is powered on, or displaying the depth at which the electronic device is powered off when it is powered off.

[0061] When an electronic device is turned off, it indicates that it has been immersed in liquid. If the device is then turned on, it means the user has retrieved and processed the device, allowing it to be used. At this point, the system displays either the pressure value detected by the pressure detection component when the device was turned off, or the depth of the device in the liquid when it was turned off. This provides clear information to the user, letting them know the device's current waterproof depth or pressure, thus encouraging them to use the device carefully and potentially extending its lifespan.

[0062] It's important to note that the degradation curve of an electronic device's waterproofing capability corresponds to its service life and the depth of immersion. In this curve, the horizontal axis represents service life, and the vertical axis represents the depth of immersion. Therefore, once the service life of the electronic device is determined, the immersion depth can be calculated using the degradation curve. Different liquid depths correspond to different pressure values, allowing the pressure value to be directly determined based on the immersion depth. For specific details, refer to the hydrostatic pressure calculation formulas for liquids in relevant technologies.
