[0002] Physical buttons are designed on the side of mobile phones, such as volume buttons, power buttons or custom function buttons. These physical buttons allow users to more conveniently adjust the volume, turn on or off the screen, or perform specific operations. This design can improve the usability of mobile phones, enabling users to operate mobile phones more quickly. The design of these side physical buttons allows users to perform corresponding operations more conveniently, saving the time for users to find the button positions and improving the usability of mobile phones.

[0003] For current mobile phones or mobile phones with protective cases, to avoid accidental button presses when the mobile phone is carried, a certain pressing force needs to be applied by the user to press the physical buttons on the side of the mobile phone. The volume buttons of some mobile phones function as shutters during the use of the camera function, facilitating users to take one-handed photos. However, when the external dimensions of the mobile phone are large, when the user presses the volume button during taking photos, the force applied is uneven, causing the mobile phone to shake or tilt, resulting in poor photo effects. For this reason, we propose a physical button on the side of a mobile phone. Content of the Utility Model

When the first electromagnetic chuck 5 is energized, the auxiliary button 10 fits with the first electromagnetic chuck 5.

[0029] Furthermore, at the position of the sleeve 7 corresponding to the first electromagnetic chuck 5, a wire passing hole 6 is penetrated through the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 7. The wiring between the first electromagnetic chuck 5 and the sensor and the control system 11 passes through the wire passing hole 6.

[0030] Working principle: In the normal state, the sensor and the control system 11 control the first electromagnetic chuck 5 to be energized and the second electromagnetic chuck 12 to be de-energized. The auxiliary button 10 is attracted and closely attached to the first electromagnetic chuck 5. When it is necessary to press the button body 13, the user needs to apply a normal pressing force to press the button body 13 by the rubber bump 4. When the mobile phone starts the camera function, the sensor and the control system 11 receive a signal to control the first electromagnetic chuck 5 to be de-energized and the second electromagnetic chuck 12 to be energized. While the auxiliary button 10 moves to make the button bump 9 fit with the sleeve bump 8, the auxiliary button 10 also fits with the second electromagnetic chuck 12. Pressing the button body 13 with a shutter function with a smaller force can complete the photographing.
