[0002] The newly added camera control button in the iPhone 16 series is a remarkable feature of this series. This camera control button is a touch-sensitive switch with a click experience, supporting a high-precision pressure sensor for light press gestures and providing a capacitive sensor for touch interaction. This means that users can control the camera through different pressing forces and gestures, such as tapping for focusing, pressing hard for shooting, swiping for adjusting the focal length, and long-pressing for locking focus and exposure.

[0052] Embodiment 1:

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a camera control button for being installed on a mobile phone case. Among them, please refer to Figure 2 , the camera control button includes: a button frame 100, an elastic connecting member 200, and a tactile member 300. The button frame 100 has a through groove 130. The elastic connecting member 200 is disposed in the through groove 130. The tactile member 300 is connected to the elastic connecting member 200, and the tactile member 300 is movably disposed in the through groove 130 through the elastic connecting member 200.

[0054] In this embodiment, the button frame 100 is used to be installed on the mobile phone case. The tactile member 300 is connected to the button frame 100 through the elastic connecting member 200. By pressing the tactile member 300, the tactile member 300 can move downward along the through groove 130. At this time, the elastic connecting member 200 is in a stretched state. When the pressing disappears, the elastic connecting member 200 can restore its deformation, so that the tactile member 300 resets, and moreover, the tactile member 300 is electrically connected to the camera control button on the mobile phone.

[0055] The tactile member 300 is equivalent to a tactile switch for a point-pressing experience, a high-precision pressure sensor that supports a light-touch gesture, and a capacitive sensor that provides touch interaction. Users can control the camera through different pressing forces and gestures, such as gently touching for focusing, pressing hard for shooting, swiping for adjusting the focal length, and long-pressing for locking the focus and exposure, etc. This design makes it more convenient to operate the camera, almost without feeling, and not easy to accidentally touch. Especially in the case of needing to take a quick photo, the advantages of this camera control button will be quickly activated.

[0056] Therefore, different touch methods on the camera control button can complete the operations of taking photos and videos. The camera control button can protect the mobile phone from physical damage and daily wear, not only can extend the service life of the mobile phone, but also can improve the user experience.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the tactile component 300 includes: an insulating plate component 310 and a tactile interaction component 330. The insulating plate component 310 is movably disposed in the through groove 130 through an elastic connection component 200; the tactile interaction component 330 is composed of a plurality of spaced tactile interaction unit components 320, and the tactile interaction unit components 320 are disposed on the insulating plate component 310.

[0058] In this embodiment, the insulating plate component 310 is used to connect with the elastic connection component 200, and the insulating plate component 310 can achieve the functions of pressing down and automatically resetting through the elastic connection component 200. The tactile interaction component 330 is used to connect with the camera button on the mobile phone to achieve the touch interaction function of the camera control button. The tactile interaction component 330 is composed of a plurality of spaced tactile interaction unit components 320, so that when sliding on the tactile interaction component 330, the function of sliding and adjusting the focal length of the camera button on the mobile phone can be achieved. For example, 6 spaced tactile interaction unit components 320 can be provided on the insulating plate component 310, and the 6 tactile interaction unit components 320 can be connected to the camera button on the mobile phone, and the camera button on the mobile phone can be operated by pressing or touching the camera control button.

[0059] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , the insulating plate component 310 includes: an insulating body 311, a pressing contact surface 312, a sensing contact surface 313, and a plurality of blind holes 314. The pressing contact surface 312 is disposed on the front surface of the insulating body 311, the sensing contact surface 313 is disposed on the back surface of the insulating body 311, the blind holes 314 are opened in the insulating body 311, and the blind holes 314 are connected to the pressing contact surface 312 and the sensing contact surface 313.

[0060] In this embodiment, a plurality of blind holes 314 are opened on the insulating plate component 310. The blind holes 314 are used to install the tactile interaction unit components 320. The front surface of the insulating body 311 is set as the pressing contact surface 312, and the back surface of the insulating body 311 is set as the sensing contact surface 313. For example, a metal conduction layer can be provided on the pressing contact surface 312, a metal conduction layer can also be provided on the sensing contact surface 313, and a metal conduction layer can also be provided in the blind holes 314, so that the metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 can be connected to the metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface 313 through the blind holes 314.

[0061] Optionally, the insulating plate component 310 includes one of the following structures:

[0062] Glass fiber board, plastic board, plastic sheet, rubber board, ceramic board or glass plate.

[0063] For example, the insulating plate member 310 can be made of a fiberglass board. The fiberglass board has high mechanical properties and dielectric properties, good heat resistance and moisture resistance, and good processability. It is easy to process and is suitable for forming a metal conduction layer on the fiberglass board. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0064] For example, the insulating plate member 310 can be made of a plastic plate. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0065] For example, the insulating plate member 310 can be made of a plastic sheet. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0066] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , the touch interaction unit member 320 includes: a first metal conduction layer 321, a second metal conduction layer 322, and an in-hole metal conduction layer 323. The first metal conduction layer 321 is disposed on the pressing contact surface 312, the second metal conduction layer 322 is disposed on the sensing contact surface 313, and the in-hole metal conduction layer 323 is disposed on the inner wall of the blind hole 314. The in-hole metal conduction layer 323 is used to connect the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first metal conduction layer 321 is connected to the second metal conduction layer 322 through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323, thereby realizing the touch interaction function of the camera control button. For example, the first metal conduction layer 321, the second metal conduction layer 322, and the in-hole metal conduction layer 323 can all be attached to the insulating plate member 310 by electroplating. For example, 6 segments of copper metal conduction layers can be electroplated on the pressing contact surface 312 of the insulating plate member 310, 6 segments of copper metal conduction layers can be electroplated on the sensing contact surface 313 of the insulating plate member 310, and the in-hole metal conduction layer 323 can also electroplate a copper metal conduction layer in the blind hole 314. The first segment of the copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 can be connected to the first segment of the copper metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface 313 through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323, and the second segment of the copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 can be connected to the second segment of the copper metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface 313 through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323... Thus, 6 touch interaction unit members 320 are formed at intervals. That is, adjacent two touch interaction unit members 320 are isolated by the insulating plate member 310.

[0068] Multiple blind holes 314 can be provided in a single touch interaction unit member 320. That is, the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322 of a single touch interaction unit member 320 can be connected by multiple in-hole metal conduction layers 323. For example, the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322 of a single touch interaction unit member 320 can be connected by 3 in-hole metal conduction layers 323, and the 3 in-hole metal conduction layers 323 can be located in a triangular shape in the middle position between the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322 are vertically arranged corresponding to each other up and down, and one end of the metal conduction layer 323 in the hole is arranged at the center position of the first metal conduction layer 321, and the other end is arranged at the center position of the second metal conduction layer 322.

[0070] Optionally, the first metal conduction layer 321 includes one of the following structures: a square structure body, a circular structure body, an elliptical structure body, or a playground structure body;

[0071] The second metal conduction layer 322 includes one of the following structures: a square structure body, a circular structure body, an elliptical structure body, or a playground structure body.

[0072] For example, the first metal conduction layer 321 can be set as a circular structure body, and the second metal conduction layer 322 can also be set as a circular structure body. For example, the pressing contact surface 312 is electroplated with 6 circular copper metal conduction layers, and the sensing contact surface 313 can also be electroplated with 6 circular copper metal conduction layers.

[0073] For example, the first metal conduction layer 321 can be set as a playground structure body, and the second metal conduction layer 322 can also be set as a playground structure body. For example, the pressing contact surface 312 is electroplated with 6 playground-shaped copper metal conduction layers, and the sensing contact surface 313 can also be electroplated with 6 playground-shaped copper metal conduction layers.

[0074] For example, the first metal conduction layer 321 is provided with 6 copper metal conduction layers. Among them, the first copper metal conduction layer and the sixth copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 are in the shape of a combination of a semi-circle and a rectangle, and both ends of the insulating plate member 310 are set as semi-circular shapes. The first copper metal conduction layer and the sixth copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 are adapted to the shapes of both ends of the insulating plate member 310. The second copper metal conduction layer, the third copper metal conduction layer, the fourth copper metal conduction layer, and the fifth copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface 312 are set as rectangular structure bodies, so that the copper metal conduction layers on the pressing contact surface 312 can cover the insulating plate member 310 as much as possible.

[0075] The second metal conduction layer 322 is provided with 6 copper metal conduction layers. Among them, the first copper metal conduction layer, the second copper metal conduction layer... the sixth copper metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface 313 are all playground-shaped copper metal conduction layers.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the key frame 100 includes: a frame vertical wall 110, a frame flange 120, and the frame flange 120 is arranged at the four peripheral edges of the frame vertical wall 110.

[0077] In this embodiment, the frame vertical wall 110 is connected to the frame flange 120 to form an "L" structure. The frame vertical wall 110 is used to be inserted into the mobile phone protective case, and the frame flange 120 can be abutted against the mobile phone protective case. On the one hand, the frame flange 120 can be attached and connected to the mobile phone protective case, increasing the connection area between the button frame 100 and the mobile phone protective case and enhancing the connection strength. And the frame flange 120 can be abutted against the mobile phone protective case, enabling quick positioning during assembly and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 , the elastic connecting member 200 includes: a frame outer sleeve 210, an elastic ring belt 220 and a connecting cylinder 230. The frame outer sleeve 210 is sleeved on the button frame 100, the elastic ring belt 220 is arranged on the inner wall of the frame outer sleeve 210, the connecting cylinder 230 is connected to the elastic ring belt 220, and the cylinder wall of the connecting cylinder 230 includes a wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240. The connecting cylinder 230 is abutted against the touch member 300 through the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240.

[0079] In this embodiment, the button frame 100 can be embedded in the elastic connecting member 200 and connected to the touch member 300 through the elastic connecting member 200. Among them, the elastic connecting member 200 and the touch member 300 can be connected together by bonding. In this way, by pressing the touch member 300, the touch member 300 moves downward, and the elastic connecting member 200 can deform. When the pressure is removed, the elastic connecting member 200 restores its deformation, and the touch member 300 can be reset through the elastic connecting member 200.

[0080] In addition, the connecting cylinder 230 wraps around the periphery of the touch member 300, and the elastic ring belt 220 wraps around the periphery of the connecting cylinder 230. The elastic ring belt 220 and the connecting cylinder 230 can play a role in limiting the position, which can enhance the stability of the pressing operation of the camera control button, so as to enhance the controllability of the camera control button and avoid the touch member from shifting during the pressing process and prevent misoperation of the camera control button.

[0081] For example, the elastic connecting member 200 can include a silicone connecting member, that is, the elastic connecting member 200 can be made of silicone, or the elastic connecting member 200 can also be made of rubber. Among them, the cylinder wall of the connecting cylinder 230 includes a wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240, and the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240 is used to connect to the touch member 300. It is equivalent that the insulating plate member 310 of the touch member 300 is embedded in the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240. The wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240 has an opening that is large at the top and small at the bottom. In this way, the insulating plate member 310 can be clamped in the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240, which can prevent the insulating plate member 310 from falling off the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240, enhance the connection strength between the insulating plate member 310 and the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240. At the same time, during the assembly process, the insulating plate member 310 is not easily dropped from the connecting cylinder 230, and the wedge-shaped cylinder wall 240 can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0082] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the camera control button may further include: a touch glass sheet 400, the touch glass sheet 400 is connected to the touch member 300, and the touch glass sheet 400 at least covers the pressing contact surface 312 of the touch member 300.

[0083] In this embodiment, the touch glass sheet 400 may be disposed on the touch member 300, and the touch glass sheet 400 may be connected to the touch member 300 to form an integral structure. By touching or pressing the touch glass sheet 400, the camera control button can be operated. For example, the touch glass sheet 400 may be bonded to the touch member 300 by glue. The touch glass sheet mainly serves to protect the touch member, and can protect the touch member from physical damage and daily wear. It can not only extend the service life of the touch member, but also improve the user experience.
