Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile phone handles, and particularly to a handle device with replaceable buttons. Background Art

[0002] Mobile phones are increasingly used in daily life. In addition to basic communication applications, mobile phones are also widely used in shopping, payment, photography, audio and video, Internet of Things control, games and other fields. Especially in the field of games, with the rapid development of mobile phone performance, many games that could originally only run on the PC platform and handheld game console platform have been developed into versions adapted to mobile phones, and most players are willing to accept the fast-paced mobile phone games. Currently, only a very small number of gaming mobile phones are designed with external buttons. Therefore, when playing games, players need to operate on the screen surface with their fingers, which obscures the game screen, and the operation experience of virtual buttons on the screen is significantly inferior to that of physical handles and keyboards and mice. For this reason, mobile phone handles have been introduced on the market. By connecting to the mobile phone wired or wirelessly, they provide additional physical buttons for the mobile phone, bringing a better gaming experience. In order to adapt to the hand characteristics and feel requirements of different players, the buttons of most mobile phone handles are available for selection and replacement.

[0003] However, after mobile phone handles are widely put on the market, there is a phenomenon that users install buttons of wrong specifications or even buttons from other manufacturers into the mobile phone handles. The assembly tolerance between non-standard buttons and slots will deteriorate the button feel and may accelerate the wear of components such as contacts, resulting in unexpected after-sales problems.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the handle device with replaceable buttons may include the following.

[0033] A face cover 1 and a rear cover 2 that are snap-fitted. The middle part of the face cover 1 is a placement groove 11, and both sides are control areas 12. A number of holes 121 are opened on both sides of the control area 12;

[0034] An LED aperture 122 is assembled at the edge of the hole 121, and a magnetic button X is assembled in each hole 121. An identification chip is installed inside each magnetic button X;

[0035] A touch panel 13, a speaker 14, and a battery 15 are assembled inside the face cover 1. A number of Hall elements 131 and micro-control elements 132 are assembled on the touch panel 13;

[0036] The Hall elements 131 correspond one-to-one with the magnetic buttons X;

[0037] The micro-control component 132 is electrically connected to the Hall component 131, the LED aperture 122, and the speaker 14;

[0038] The battery 15 supplies power to the touch panel 13, the LED aperture 122, and the speaker 14.

[0039] Compared with a conventional handle equipped with a magnetic snap button, this solution specifically sets up a Hall component and a micro-control component to detect whether the magnetic snap button assembled on the handle is a compliant button certified by the handle manufacturer.

[0040] Here, a compliant button refers to a magnetic snap button that is authorized to be produced by the handle manufacturer, and its specification dimensions are accurately adapted to the handle mounting holes and the handle contacts. It also has an identification chip inside, and the device code provided by the handle manufacturer is written in the identification chip for the Hall component to detect and read.

[0041] Thus, when the button is installed on the handle, the Hall component reads its device code. If the micro-control component determines that the device code is valid, it indicates that the button is a compliant button, and the micro-control unit controls the LED aperture at the hole position of the button to emit a prompt light effect and simultaneously controls the speaker to emit a prompt sound effect.

[0042] Conversely, if the micro-control unit determines that the device code is invalid, or the newly assembled button has triggered the contact, but the Hall component fails to detect its device code, it indicates that the button is an abnormal button, and the micro-control unit controls the LED aperture at the hole position of the button to emit a prompt light effect and simultaneously controls the speaker to emit a prompt sound effect.

[0043] In actual use, when the user installs the compliant button on the correct hole position of the handle, the prompt light effect and the prompt sound effect will bring a good interaction experience to the user.

[0044] As an optional implementation manner, in addition to being used as a prompt light when assembling the magnetic snap button, the LED aperture can also be used as an interaction light during use, which lights up when the user presses the corresponding button to provide a more intuitive interaction experience.

[0045] In this embodiment, the Hall component 131 is used to detect the identification chip inside the magnetic snap button X and output the identification result to the micro-control component 132.

[0046] In this embodiment, the identification chip at least includes the device code of the corresponding magnetic snap button X.

[0047] Specifically, the identification chip can be an RFID chip, which is used to achieve non-contact identification between the magnetic snap button and the Hall element of the handle. The micro-control element is pre-programmed with a number of compliant device codes. The identification chip built into the compliant magnetic snap button also stores the device codes corresponding to the production batch. Thus, the micro-control element can compare the device code identified by the Hall element with the compliant device codes programmed in itself. If the comparison is successful, it indicates that the magnetic snap button is compliant; if the device code cannot be identified or the device code comparison fails, it indicates that the magnetic snap button is abnormal and is a non-authorized accessory produced by other manufacturers.

[0048] As an alternative implementation, the Hall element can be a Hall sensor with the model number HALL_sensor. Its VCC pin is connected to the battery to obtain power, and the OUT pin is connected to the micro-control element to transmit the identification result.

[0049] In this embodiment, the micro-control element 132 is used to transmit the identification result to the LED aperture 122 to trigger the LED aperture 122 to output a prompt light effect indicating that the magnetic snap button X is compliant or abnormal.

[0050] In this embodiment, the micro-control element 132 is used to transmit the identification result to the speaker 14 to trigger the speaker 14 to output a prompt sound effect indicating that the magnetic snap button X is compliant or abnormal.

[0051] As an alternative implementation, the prompt light effect indicating that the button is compliant can use colors such as blue / green / yellow, while the prompt light effect indicating that the button is abnormal can use more prominent warning colors such as red.

[0052] As another alternative implementation, the light effect of the LED aperture can be constant on, gradually brightening, gradually dimming, flashing, etc. to adapt to different application scenarios. For example, the flashing light effect can be used to indicate that the button is abnormal, and the gradually brightening / gradually dimming light effect can be used to indicate that the button is compliant. The flashing light effect can be used to indicate that the remaining battery power is insufficient, etc.

[0053] Correspondingly, the prompt sound effect indicating that the button is compliant can be a low, short, and brisk prompt sound, while the prompt sound effect indicating that the button is abnormal can be a sharp and continuously emitted prompt sound to ensure that the user is aware that the button does not match the handle and needs to replace the compliant button before using again.

[0054] Thus, for the situation where an abnormal button is assembled on the handle, if the user assembles it due to negligence or ignorance, the user can know that the button is abnormal according to the prompt light effect and prompt sound effect and replace the compliant button in time. If the user subjectively uses the abnormal button on their own, the prompt light effect and prompt sound effect are used as a way to inform of responsibility, informing the user that they should bear the problems such as abnormal damage of the handle caused thereby, reducing after-sales responsibility disputes.

[0055] In this embodiment, both sides of the rear cover 2 are holding parts 21, which are used to form a handle when the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 are buckled and assembled, for the user to hold and operate with both hands.

[0056] In this embodiment, a number of shoulder buttons 22 are provided at the top of both sides of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2;

[0057] A number of rocker Ys are provided in the control area 12.

[0058] Here, compared with the magnetic suction buttons that press and touch the contacts after magnetic suction assembly, the shoulder buttons are mostly assembled with springs or elastic rocker plates, and the rocker has a special reset rocker structure. Both are not convenient for quick disassembly and assembly, so they are fixedly set here, and only the magnetic suction buttons are used for device code detection.

[0059] In this embodiment, contacts are provided on the surface of the touch panel 13, and the contacts are used to detect the operation instructions input by the user pressing the magnetic suction button X.

[0060] In this embodiment, the magnetic suction button X includes at least a direction key and a function key;

[0061] The touch panel 13 corresponding to the direction key includes at least 4 contacts and at least 4 Hall elements 131, which respectively correspond to the up, down, left, and right key positions.

[0062] In this embodiment, an anti-slip pad 111 is laid on the surface of the placement groove 11, and an elastic gasket 112 is provided on the side of the placement groove 11.

[0063] Here, the anti-slip pad is used to fit the back of the mobile phone to ensure that the mobile phone does not slip or displace during use. The elastic gasket can withstand a certain degree of extrusion deformation to firmly clamp the mobile phone from both sides.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] The Hall element and the micro-control element detect the magnetic suction button assembled to the handle. If the detected magnetic suction button installed is not a compliant accessory suitable for the current handle, the speaker and the LED aperture at this hole position are triggered to give a prompt to timely inform the user to select standard parts and avoid damage to the handle caused by incorrect assembly.
