For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present application provides a dual-screen electronic device 100, comprising a base 10, a first screen 20, a second screen 30 and a movable bracket 40. The base 10 is formed with a first use surface 11 and a second use surface 12 which are arranged opposite to each other, the first screen 20 is arranged on the first use surface 11, the movable bracket 40 is movably connected to the base 10, and the second screen 30 is connected to the movable bracket 40. The movable bracket 40 is used to adjust the position and angle of the second screen 30, so that the second screen 30 abuts against the second use surface 12, or the second screen 30 leaves the second use surface 12, and the second screen 30 is arranged at an angle to the first screen 20. By setting the movable bracket 40, the second screen 30 is driven to move by the movable bracket 40, so as to adjust the relative position of the second screen 30 and the first screen 20. When the second screen 30 abuts against the second use surface 12, the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 are in a back-to-back state, and the user in front of the screen can use the screen in a face-to-face state. When the movable bracket 40 drives the second screen 30 to leave the second usage surface 12, the position of the second screen 30 can be flexibly set to form an angle between the second screen 30 and the first screen 20 to meet the usage needs of users in front of the screens in a shoulder-to-shoulder state or a state where one person's side is facing the other's front, so that the two users can adjust the angle of the second screen 30 so that the screen faces the users regardless of the communication posture, thereby improving the convenience of users in using the dual-screen electronic device 100 and improving the usage experience.

[0027] It is understandable that the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 may only have a display function (such as a display screen), while the module responsible for the data processing function (such as a host) is set on the base 10, or set in a device other than the dual-screen electronic device 100, such as an external host, or at least one of the screens has a host function integrated in addition to the display function (such as a tablet computer, etc.). The first screen 20 and the second screen 30 can display the same or different content synchronously, and the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 can also interact with each other. The above-mentioned composition of the two screens and the technical solutions and operations such as dual-screen display and dual-screen interaction have been recorded in the relevant technology for ordinary technicians in this field, and will not be described in detail here. The structure of the dual-screen electronic device 100 will be introduced below.

[0028] In some embodiments, the movable bracket 40 is used to adjust the position of the second screen 30 in the horizontal direction so that the second screen 30 can move in the horizontal direction to get closer to or farther from the second use surface 12. By using the movable bracket 40 to adjust the second screen 30 in the horizontal direction, the position and angle between the second screen 30 and the first screen 20 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction. That is, the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 are roughly located on the same horizontal plane. During the movement of the second screen 30, its vertical position remains roughly unchanged. The movement of the second screen 30 relative to the base 10 is used to adjust the angle between the second screen 30 and the first screen 20, so that two users with different communication postures can use the electronic device at the same time.

[0029] In some embodiments, the movable bracket 40 includes a first folding arm 41, one end of the first folding arm 41 is connected to the second screen 30, and the other end is connected to the base 10, and the second screen 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 through the first folding arm 41. By utilizing the rotation of the first folding arm 41, the second screen 30 can be driven to adjust its position and angle in a rotational manner, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the second screen 30. When in use, the connection point between the first folding arm 41 and the base 10 is a circle, and the second screen 30 can rotate around the base 10 with the first folding arm 41 as a radius, thereby adjusting the angle between the second screen 30 and the first screen 20 in the horizontal direction. Of course, in other examples, the movable bracket 40 can also be set in the form of a connecting rod group, a slide rail, etc., so as to drive the second screen 30 to adjust its position in other ways such as swinging, sliding and translation, which is not limited here, and the following will continue to be described with the first folding arm 41 as an example.

[0030] In some embodiments, the movable bracket 40 further includes a second folding arm 42, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second use surface 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first folding arm 41, so that the first folding arm 41 and the second folding arm 42 can be extended or folded with each other. By providing the second folding arm 42, the activity radius of the second screen 30 can be further increased, so that when the first folding arm 41 and the second folding arm 42 are extended with each other, the second screen 30 can be pulled away from the base 10 by a certain distance, so that the user has more room for movement when using the dual-screen electronic device 100. By providing the first folding arm 41 and the second folding arm 42 to be folded with each other, when the second screen 30 is against the second use surface 12, the overall volume of the movable bracket 40 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the movable bracket 40 can be reduced. Exemplarily, the first folding arm 41 and the second folding arm 42 can be connected by a hinge.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 5, the angle θ formed between the display directions of the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 is 0 to 180°. That is, when the second screen 30 is against the second use surface 12, the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 are arranged opposite to each other, the display directions of the two screens are opposite, and the display directions of the two screens form an angle of 180°. At this time, the users of both parties can use the dual-screen electronic device 100 in a face-to-face posture. When the movable bracket 40 is fully unfolded so that the second screen 30 is rotated to the same direction as the first screen 20, the display directions of the two screens are the same, and the two display directions are parallel to each other. This is the angle formed by the display directions of 0°. At this time, the users of both parties can use the dual-screen electronic device 100 in a shoulder-to-shoulder manner. In addition, the second screen 30 can also stay at any position between 0 and 180° to meet the usage needs of different communication postures of the two users.

[0032] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 5 The dual-screen electronic device 100 further includes a first rotating bracket 50, through which the first screen 20 is connected to the first use surface 11, and the first rotating bracket 50 can drive the first screen 20 to rotate along the normal line N of the first screen 20. 1 By setting the first rotating bracket 50, the pitch angle of the first screen 20 can be adjusted (such as Figure 3 As shown), the first rotating bracket 50 can adapt to the height of the user using the first screen 20, so that the user can look directly at the first screen 20. In addition, the first rotating bracket 50 can also rotate the first screen 20 in the horizontal direction, so as to adjust the left and right direction of the first screen 20 (as shown). Figure 5 shown).

[0033] Similarly, in some embodiments, the dual-screen electronic device 100 further includes a second rotating bracket 60, and the second screen 30 is connected to the movable bracket 40 via the second rotating bracket 60. The second rotating bracket 60 can drive the second screen 30 to move along the normal line N of the second screen 30. 2 The second rotating bracket 60 can be used to adjust the pitch angle of the second screen 30 (e.g. Figure 4 As shown), the second rotating bracket 60 can adapt to the height of the user using the second screen 30, so that the user can look directly at the second screen 30. Similarly, the second rotating bracket 60 can also rotate the second screen 30 in the horizontal direction, so as to adjust the left and right direction of the second screen 30 (as shown). Figure 5 When the movable bracket 40 is used to adjust the second screen 30 , the second rotating bracket 60 can also be used to fine-tune the orientation of the second screen 30 , thereby improving the convenience of using the second screen 30 .

[0034] Exemplarily, the first rotating bracket 50 and the second rotating bracket 60 may be universal bearings, spherical bearings, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first use surface 11 and the second use surface 12 are arranged to be inclined relative to each other, so that the first use surface 11 and the second use surface 12 form an upward tilt angle with the placement surface of the base 10. By setting the first use surface 11 and the second use surface 12 to form an upward tilt angle with the placement surface, on the one hand, when the dual-screen electronic device 100 is placed on the desktop, it helps the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 to face the user upward, avoiding the user's visual height and the placement height of the dual-screen electronic device 100 being too different, thereby avoiding the user from lowering his head too much when using it, and improving the user's comfort. On the other hand, by setting the first use surface 11 and the second use surface 12 to be inclined relative to each other, the base 10 can have a triangular structure, that is, the horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the base 10 gradually increases from top to bottom, thereby ensuring that the base 10 has good stability. In the process of using the dual-screen electronic device 100, the base 10 is not easy to tip over, ensuring the reliability of the use process.

[0036] In some embodiments, the dual-screen electronic device 100 further includes an external device 70, which is wirelessly connected to the dual-screen electronic device 100, or the external device 70 is connected to at least one of the base 10, the first screen 20, and the second screen 30 via a data cable or a plug interface 90. By providing the external device 70, the user's interaction needs can be met and the practicality of the dual-screen electronic device 100 can be improved.

[0037] It is understandable that the external device 70 can be an input device, such as an audio input device (microphone, etc.), an image input device (such as a camera 71, a scanner, etc.), an information reading device (such as an ID card reader 72, a two-dimensional code scanner 73, etc.), a handwriting board or a keyboard, etc., and the external device 70 can also be an output device, such as a speaker 80, a printer, etc. The specific external device 70 and the connection method can be flexibly set according to the actual use scenario. The external device 70 can be connected by wireless means, such as Bluetooth connection, wireless LAN, NFC, radio frequency connection, etc. Exemplarily, the interface 90 for connecting the external device 70 can be set on the bottom surface, side surface, etc. of the base 10, and the side surface includes a first use surface 11, a second use surface 12, or a connection surface connecting the first use surface 11 and the second use surface 12. In this way, the base 10 can meet the needs of connecting multiple external devices 70 at the same time, thereby making the dual-screen electronic device 100 more compact and avoiding the problem of data cables of multiple external devices 70 being entangled with each other.

[0038] In some embodiments, the speaker 80 can be directly disposed in the base 10 , thereby making the structure of the dual-screen electronic device 100 more compact.

[0039] As examples, several different usage scenarios and corresponding external devices 70 are listed below. It can be understood that the dual-screen external device 70 provided in this application is not limited to these scenarios.

[0040] In the first example, the dual-screen electronic device 100 can be used for the vaccine verification scenario before vaccination. Specifically, the user of the first screen 20 is the vaccination doctor, the user of the second screen 30 is the vaccine recipient, and the external device 70 of the dual-screen electronic device 100 includes a first camera 71 arranged at one end of the vaccination doctor, a second camera 71 arranged at one end of the vaccine recipient, and an identity reading device (ID card swiping machine 72 or fingerprint reader). After the vaccination doctor takes out the vaccine, the first camera 71 is used to shoot and save the information on the vaccine, and the vaccine information is displayed on the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 at the same time. The vaccine recipient confirms the vaccine information through the second screen 30, and enters personal identity information through the identity reading device, or enters personal identity information through the second camera 71. When the vaccine information and the vaccine recipient's personal information are confirmed, the vaccination doctor vaccinates the vaccine recipient. Using the dual-screen electronic device 100 provided by this application, the vaccine recipient can face the vaccination doctor in a side manner. After the information is confirmed, the vaccine recipient can be vaccinated directly without adjusting the standing or sitting position, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of vaccination.

[0041] In the second example, the dual-screen electronic device 100 can be used in a consulting or teaching scenario. Specifically, the user of the first screen 20 is a consulting service provider or teacher, and the user of the second screen 30 is a consulting service client or student. Both users can adjust the angle between the first screen 20 and the second screen 30 by using the movable bracket 40 to meet the communication posture of both users, so that both users can face their respective screens respectively, meeting the needs of consulting or teaching activities.

[0042] In the third example, the dual-screen electronic device 100 can also complete ordering or cashiering tasks in a consumption scenario. Specifically, the user of the first screen 20 is a merchant, and the user of the second screen 30 is a consumer. The consumer and the merchant can stand face to face, side to front, shoulder to shoulder, etc. The consumer can perform operations such as ordering through the second screen 30, and the merchant can perform cashiering operations through the first screen 20. By using the function of simultaneous display between the two screens, both the consumer and the merchant can understand the consumption information through their respective screens at the same time. Exemplarily, the external device 70 of the dual-screen electronic device 100 may include a speaker 80 arranged on the base 10, and a two-dimensional code scanning device or a bank card swiping machine arranged at one end of the second screen 30. The user can complete the payment through the two-dimensional code scanning device or the bank card swiping machine, and the speaker 80 can broadcast the payment information and payment status, thereby improving transaction efficiency and operation convenience.
