[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0040] As LCD panel technology advances, bezels on existing monitors are becoming increasingly narrow, leading to a surge in the number of monitors and laptops with borderless screens on all four sides in recent years. This has left no place for webcams, which were originally located on the bezels. Webcams are now forced to be designed to protrude from the bezels, resulting in an unsightly appearance and, more importantly, affecting the splicing effect when multiple screens are used together.

[0041] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure proposes an electronic device in which the camera unit can be installed in a location other than the display, and the camera unit can be designed to be hidden to avoid its obtrusive appearance.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an electronic device includes a display unit 1, a carrier unit 2, a camera unit 3, and a reflective component 4. The carrier unit 2 carries the display unit 1. A first side of the carrier unit 2 is used to contact a carrier surface, and a second side of the carrier unit 2 is opposite to the first side. An accommodating space with an opening 5 is provided on the second side, and the camera unit 3 is disposed in the accommodating space. The reflective component 4 is disposed at the opening 5 and is opposite to the camera unit 3. The reflective surface of the reflective component 4 can face a preset area outside the opening 5 and reflect light from the preset area to the camera unit 3.

[0044] Display unit 1 is an important component of electronic devices, responsible for converting digital information into visual images or text for user viewing. Display unit 1 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), which controls the passage of light by changing the alignment of liquid crystal materials using an electric current, thereby forming an image. It is widely used in televisions, computer screens, and other similar devices. Display unit 1 can also be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, where each pixel is self-illuminating, eliminating the need for a backlight. This allows for extremely thin designs, extremely high contrast, better black levels, and a wider color gamut. Display unit 1 can also be a micro LED (light-emitting diode), an emerging display technology where each pixel is composed of an independent, tiny LED that is self-illuminating. This offers advantages such as high brightness, high contrast, low power consumption, and long lifespan.

[0045] The support unit 2 is a component in an electronic device used to support and secure other components. Its main function is to ensure the stability and correct positioning of these components within the device. Specifically, the support unit 2 can be a monitor stand, a support structure located at the bottom of the monitor for securing it to a desktop or other flat surface. A wider stand ensures monitor stability and prevents tipping. The monitor stand can also have adjustment functions; for example, it can support adjustments to height, tilt angle, and rotation angle to accommodate different usage needs. More specifically, the stand is made of plastic or metal (such as aluminum or steel) to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The support unit 2 can also be a monitor support frame, including a base and a bracket. The bracket is the intermediate part connecting the monitor and the base, used to support the monitor and provide adjustment functions. The bracket can be made of metal (such as aluminum or steel) to ensure strength and durability. The support unit 2 can also be the keyboard section of a laptop, not only supporting and securing the keyboard itself but also supporting the display unit 1 and rotatably connected to it.

[0046] In electronic devices, the camera unit 3 is a key component responsible for capturing images and videos. The design and performance of the camera unit 3 directly affect the device's photographic capabilities and user experience. Specifically, the camera unit 3 may include a lens, an image sensor, an image processing chip, and an autofocus system. The lens is responsible for focusing light and projecting it onto the image sensor. More specifically, the focal length of the lens determines the shooting range; a short focal length is suitable for wide-angle shooting, while a long focal length is suitable for long-distance shooting. The aperture of the lens controls the amount of light entering the lens, affecting exposure and depth of field. The lens can be made of glass or plastic; glass lenses have higher light transmittance and better image quality. The image sensor converts the received light into electrical signals, which are then processed into an image by subsequent circuitry. The image processing chip is responsible for processing the raw data output from the image sensor, performing noise reduction, white balance adjustment, color correction, and other processing. The autofocus system automatically adjusts the lens focal length to ensure a clear image of the subject. Specifically, the camera unit 3 can be directly fixed to the inner wall of the opening 5, or it can be fixedly connected to a camera support frame 8, which is fixedly connected within the opening 5.

[0047] Reflector 4 is an optical element that reflects light from one direction to another through a reflective surface, used to change the path of light or expand the field of view. Reflector 4 can be planar, curved, or coated with specific materials to meet different optical needs. Reflector 4 can be a plane mirror, a flat-surfaced reflector used to reflect light along a straight path. Plane mirrors have high reflectivity and can be made of high-reflectivity materials such as silver or aluminum plating. Plane mirrors have precise angles; the reflection angle equals the incident angle, making them suitable for scenarios requiring precise control of the light path. Reflector 4 can also be a curved mirror, a concave or convex reflector used to change the convergence or divergence of light. Reflector 4 can also be a prism, a transparent polyhedral optical element used to reflect and refract light; for example, it can be a right-angle prism that can reflect light at a 90-degree angle.

[0048] Specifically, the reflective component 4 can be a fixed reflective component 4, fixedly connected to the opening 5, and can be composed of one or more reflective mirrors. For example, the fixed reflective component 4 can be composed of a single reflective mirror, with the camera unit 3 and the reflective unit 41 arranged opposite to each other, and the extension line of the lens center of the camera unit 3 and the normal of the reflective surface of the reflective mirror forming an acute angle. The reflective surface of the reflective mirror faces the preset area, so that light in the preset area can enter the camera unit 3 through the reflective mirror.

[0049] The reflective component 4 can also be an adjustable reflective component 4, which can adjust the area captured by the camera unit 3 by adjusting the position of the reflective component 4. Specifically, the reflective component 4 can be rotated to adjust the reflection angle and thus adjust the area captured by the camera unit 3; the reflective component 4 can also slide on the inner wall of the opening 5 along the depth direction of the opening 5 to adjust the area captured by the camera unit 3.

[0050] Opening 5 is a hole or gap in the outer casing or internal structure of the device, used to allow external light to enter the device and be captured by the camera unit 3 or other optical sensors. The shape of opening 5 can be selected according to the design requirements and functional requirements of the device. Opening 5 can be circular, which allows for uniform light distribution, reduces edge effects, and is easy to process and manufacture. Opening 5 can also be rectangular, which can accommodate optical elements of different sizes and shapes, and can make better use of space when space is limited. Opening 5 can also be elliptical, which can adjust the incident direction of light and is suitable for shooting at specific angles. Opening 5 can also be polygonal, i.e., polygonal holes, such as triangles, hexagons, etc., which can be customized according to specific needs to adapt to different optical paths. Opening 5 can also be irregular, i.e., holes with irregular shapes, such as irregular curves or combinations of shapes. Irregularly shaped openings can be customized according to specific needs to adapt to complex optical paths, and are more creative and unique in design.

[0051] The preset area is a specific area within the device casing or external environment where the reflective component 4 can effectively capture and reflect light. This area is pre-defined to ensure that light can be reflected from this area to the camera unit 3, thereby achieving a specific shooting effect. Specifically, the preset area can be an area opposite to the display unit 1, so that the camera unit 3 can capture the user's head image. The position of the preset area can be fixed, corresponding to the positions of the reflective component 4 and the camera unit 3, to ensure that light can be accurately reflected to the camera unit 3. The size of the preset area can be adjusted according to the design requirements of the device to adapt to different shooting scenarios and needs. The shape of the preset area can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, polygonal, or other irregular shapes, depending on the design of the reflective component 4 and the shooting requirements. The lighting conditions within the preset area (such as light intensity, light source type, ambient light, etc.) need to meet the operating requirements of the device to ensure the shooting effect.

[0052] This disclosure provides an opening 5 on the second side of the support unit 2 away from the camera unit 3, and places the camera unit 3 within the accommodating space of the opening 5. A reflective component 4 is positioned at the opening 5, opposite to the camera unit 3. The reflective surface of the reflective component 4 faces a preset area outside the opening 5, allowing light from the preset area to be reflected by the reflective component 4 to the camera unit 3. This enables the camera unit 3, hidden within the opening 5, to capture an image of the preset area, avoiding an obtrusive appearance of the camera unit 3. Furthermore, since the camera unit 3 is no longer mounted on the bezel of the display unit 1, it also prevents interference with the splicing effect when multiple screens are used together.

[0053] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the reflective assembly 4 includes a reflective part 41 and a first rotating shaft 42. The reflective part 41 is disposed on the side wall of the first rotating shaft 42, and the first rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support part 2 near the opening 5.

[0054] The reflector 41 is the main part of the reflector assembly 4, responsible for reflecting light from the preset area to the camera unit 3. The reflector 41 can be made of a high-reflectivity material, such as a silver-plated or aluminum-plated metal surface, or a high-reflectivity plastic or mirror. The reflector 41 can be flat, curved, or other specific shapes, selected according to the reflection requirements. The reflector 41 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first rotating shaft 42, and its angle can be adjusted as the shaft rotates. Specifically, the reflector 41 can be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket of the rotating shaft to ensure a secure connection. The first rotating shaft 42 is a rotating shaft used to connect the reflector 41 and the support unit 2, allowing the reflector 41 to rotate around the shaft. The first rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support unit 2 near the opening 5, ensuring that the reflector 41 can rotate freely. Specifically, the first rotating shaft 42 can be a damped rotating shaft to prevent the reflector 41 from rotating arbitrarily when no adjustment is needed. By rotating the first rotating shaft 42, the reflector 41 can be adjusted to different angles to adapt to different shooting needs. In addition, users can manually rotate the reflector 41 to adjust the shooting angle, which is easy to operate.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a rotary switch 7 is also included. The rotary switch 7 includes a connecting part and a knob 71. The connecting part is electrically connected to the camera unit 3. The knob 71 is fixedly connected to the connecting part and the end of the knob 71 connected to the first rotating shaft 42. The knob 71 can rotate between a first position and a second position. The first rotating shaft 42 drives the knob 71 to rotate to the first position, and the connecting part transmits an electrical signal to the camera unit 3 to make the camera unit 3 work. The first rotating shaft 42 drives the knob 71 to rotate to the second position, and the connecting part transmits an electrical signal to the camera unit 3 to make the camera unit 3 non-working.

[0056] The connecting part is part of the rotary switch 7 and is responsible for establishing an electrical connection with the camera unit 3. Specifically, the connecting part can transmit electrical signals to the camera unit 3 to control the working state of the camera unit 3. More specifically, the connecting part can be a wire or a circuit board, and the connection with the camera unit 3 via the wire or circuit board ensures stable transmission of electrical signals. The knob 71 is used to control the state of the rotary switch 7, and the user can change the state of the rotary switch 7 by manually rotating the knob 71. The knob 71 is fixedly connected to the connecting part and the end of the first rotating shaft 42 respectively to ensure synchronous operation during rotation. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the first position can be when the reflective component 4 is rotated outside the opening 5. At this time, the camera is turned on and in working condition, and can capture images of the preset area; as shown Figure 3As shown, the second position is when the reflective component 4 enters the opening 5. At this time, the reflective surface of the reflective component 4 faces into the opening 5. The camera is off and in a non-working state, unable to capture images of the preset area. More specifically, a clear indicator can be set on the knob 71 to help the user identify the current working status. For example, an indicator light can be set on the knob 71 or the support 2 to display the current working status, increasing user-friendliness. The user can quickly switch the working status of the camera unit 3 by rotating the first pivot 42 and the knob 71, facilitating video calls and privacy protection. Through the linkage of the first pivot 42 and the knob 71, the camera unit 3 can automatically start recording after the reflective component 4 reaches the set position, improving the convenience of recording with the camera unit 3. In addition, the knob 71 also has a damping effect, which can keep the reflective component 4 in the set position.

[0057] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a sealing surface is provided on the side wall of the first rotating shaft 42, and the sealing surface is adapted to the opening 5. The sealing surface is a planar or curved surface structure provided on the side wall of the first rotating shaft 42, used to close the opening 5 on the equipment housing. The main function of the sealing surface is to close the opening 5 on the equipment housing, preventing external contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering the equipment, while maintaining the aesthetics and user-friendliness of the equipment. The shape of the sealing surface is adapted to the shape of the opening 5. For example, the sealing surface can be circular, rectangular, polygonal, or irregular in shape. Specifically, the sealing surface can be a planar sealing surface, that is, a flat sealing surface, used to close the planar opening 5. The planar sealing surface can fit tightly with the planar opening 5, providing good sealing performance. The sealing surface can also be a curved sealing surface, a sealing surface with a curved surface, used to close the curved opening 5. The sealing surface can also be an elastic sealing surface, that is, an elastic sealing surface that can deform to adapt to openings 5 ​​of different shapes. The flexible cover can adapt to openings 5 ​​of different shapes and sizes, providing excellent sealing to prevent external contaminants from entering. The cover can also be transparent, allowing light to pass through without affecting the imaging quality of the camera unit 3. The cover can seal the openings 5 ​​on the device casing, preventing dust, moisture, and other external contaminants from entering the device, while maintaining the device's aesthetics and user-friendliness.

[0058] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the reflective assembly 4 includes a reflective part 41, which is fixedly connected to the opening 5, with the reflective surface of the reflective assembly 4 facing a predetermined area outside the opening 5. This design simplifies the structure of the reflective assembly 4, making it more stable and reliable. Users do not need to manually adjust the angle of the reflective part 41, simplifying the operation. The fixed connection of the reflective part 41 to the opening 5 ensures that its position and angle remain unchanged. More specifically, a high-strength adhesive can be used to fix the reflective part 41 to the opening 5; screws, clips, or other mechanical methods can also be used to fix the reflective part 41 to the opening 5. Alternatively, the reflective part 41 can be embedded into the opening 5 of the device housing to ensure a secure fixation.

[0059] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the reflective assembly 4 includes multiple reflective portions 41 fixedly connected within the accommodating space. One reflective portion 41 has its reflective surface facing a preset area outside the opening 5, reflecting light from the preset area to the imaging unit 3 via other reflective portions 41. Through multi-level reflection by multiple reflective portions 41, more complex light paths can be achieved to adapt to different shooting needs. The fixed connection of multiple reflective portions 41 within the accommodating space effectively utilizes the internal space of the device, making the entire imaging module more compact. Specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, two reflective parts 41 can be respectively set on the bottom and side wall of the opening 5. The light from the preset area enters the camera part 3 through the reflective parts 41 on the side wall and bottom in sequence, so that all the reflective parts can be set inside the opening, further avoiding an abrupt appearance.

[0060] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a second rotating shaft and a linkage assembly are also included, and the display part 1 and the support part 2 can be connected through the second rotating shaft; the linkage assembly is connected to the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft respectively, and the linkage assembly can drive the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft to rotate synchronously; the display part 1 and the support part 2 are at a first angle, and the reflective part 41 is in a third position; the display part 1 and the support part 2 are at a second angle, and the reflective part 41 is in a fourth position.

[0061] Specifically, the second rotating shaft is a rotating shaft connecting the display unit 1 and the support unit 2, allowing the display unit 1 to rotate relative to the support unit 2. The second rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the support unit 2 and the display unit 1, ensuring that the display unit 1 can rotate freely. Through a linkage assembly, the second rotating shaft can rotate synchronously with the first rotating shaft 42, adjusting the positions of the display unit 1 and the reflector 41. The linkage assembly is a mechanical structure connecting the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft, enabling the two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously, thereby automatically adjusting the position of the reflector 41 as the angle between the display unit 1 and the support unit 2 changes. More specifically, the linkage assembly can be a gear linkage assembly, achieving synchronous rotation of the two rotating shafts through the meshing of gears. Gear transmission can achieve precise synchronous rotation, ensuring accurate adjustment of the position of the reflector 41; the gear transmission structure is stable and not easily worn over long-term use. The linkage assembly can also be a belt linkage assembly, connecting the rotation of the two rotating shafts through the cooperation of a belt and a wheel, achieving synchronous rotation. Belt transmission can achieve smooth rotation, reducing vibration and noise; belt transmission is suitable for long-distance transmission and is suitable for scenarios requiring long-distance synchronous rotation. The linkage component can also be a chain linkage component. A chain linkage component connects the rotation of two shafts through the cooperation of a chain and a sprocket, achieving synchronous rotation. Chain drives can transmit large torques and are suitable for applications requiring high rotational force. Chain drive structures are durable and suitable for equipment used for extended periods.

[0062] The third position is the position of the reflective part 41 when the display unit 1 and the support unit 2 are at a first angle. Specifically, the first angle can be between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, that is, the angle at which the laptop is about to close. At this time, the reflective part 41 can be in the third position inside the opening 5, the knob 71 is in the second position, and the camera unit 3 is in the closed state. The fourth position is the position of the reflective part 41 when the display unit 1 and the support unit 2 are at a second angle. Specifically, the first angle can be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees, that is, the position when the laptop is in use. At this time, the reflective part 41 can be in the fourth position at or above the opening 5, the knob 71 is in the first position, and the camera unit 3 is in the open state.

[0063] By setting a second rotating shaft and a linkage component, the display unit 1 and the carrier unit 2 can be connected through the second rotating shaft, and the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft can be rotated synchronously through the linkage component. This allows the position of the reflector 41 to be automatically adjusted according to the angle changes of the display unit 1 and the carrier unit 2, achieving a more flexible shooting effect.

[0064] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the reflective assembly 4 further includes a rotating lever 6, which is connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 42. The rotating lever 6 protrudes from the plane of the opening 5 and can drive the first rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The rotating lever 6 is a component protruding from the plane of the opening 5, and the user can manually rotate the lever 6 to adjust the position of the first rotating shaft 42. The rotating lever 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 42 to ensure that the rotation of the rotating lever 6 can drive the first rotating shaft 42 to rotate. Specifically, a high-strength adhesive can be used to fix the rotating lever 6 to one end of the first rotating shaft 42. Screws, clips, or other mechanical methods can also be used to fix the rotating lever 6 to one end of the first rotating shaft 42. Alternatively, the rotating lever 6 can be embedded into the opening 5 of the device housing to ensure its secure fixation. The rotating lever 6 protrudes from the plane of the opening 5 for easy user operation. The user can manually adjust the position of the reflective part 41 by rotating the lever 6 to achieve more flexible shooting effects. By manually adjusting the position of the reflective part 41, multi-angle shooting can also be achieved to adapt to different shooting needs.

[0065] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a slider is provided on the inner wall of the support portion 2, and an annular limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the rotating block 6, allowing the slider to slide within the annular limiting groove. The slider is a component provided on the inner wall of the support portion 2, used to guide the rotation of the rotating block 6. The slider slides within the annular limiting groove, ensuring a stable rotation path for the rotating block 6 and preventing deviation. The slider can be positioned at different locations to limit the rotation range of the rotating block 6, ensuring that the reflector 41 remains at a predetermined position. The annular limiting groove is an annular or semi-annular groove provided on the side wall of the rotating block 6, used to accommodate the slider. The annular limiting groove guides the sliding of the slider, ensuring a stable rotation path for the rotating block 6. The annular limiting groove can be provided with different limiting points to limit the rotation range of the rotating block 6, ensuring that the reflector 41 remains at a predetermined position. Alternatively, the position of the slider and the reflector 41 can be directly limited by the end boundary of the semi-circular groove.

[0066] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, an elastic portion is provided on the inner wall of the bearing portion 2, and a slot is provided on the side wall of the rotating block 6, with the elastic portion engaging with the slot; wherein, after the rotating block 6 rotates to the set position, the end of the elastic portion enters the slot. Through the engagement of the elastic portion and the slot, it is ensured that the rotating block 6 can stably remain after rotating to the set position, thereby precisely adjusting the position of the reflector 41. The elastic portion is an elastic component provided on the inner wall of the bearing portion 2, typically made of a spring or other elastic material. The end of the elastic portion can enter the slot on the side wall of the rotating block 6, ensuring that the rotating block 6 stably remains at the set position. The elastic portion has a certain elasticity and can return to its original position when the rotating block 6 leaves the slot. Specifically, the end of the elastic portion can be provided with a slope, which facilitates the elastic portion disengaging from the slot when the rotating block 6 rotates.

[0067] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a button is also included. The first end of the button extends from the side of the rotary dial 6 into the slot. An inclined block is provided at the end of the button, tilting away from the rotary dial 6. The inclined block can contact the elastic part entering the slot and push the elastic part out of the slot. The button is a component extending from the side of the rotary dial 6, allowing the user to unlock the rotary dial 6. The action of the button causes the inclined block to contact the elastic part entering the slot and push the elastic part out of the slot, thereby unlocking the rotary dial 6. The button's design allows the user to easily unlock the rotary dial 6 for manual adjustment. The inclined block is an inclined surface provided at the end of the button, tilting away from the rotary dial 6. The inclined block can contact the elastic part entering the slot, and the inclined surface of the inclined block can push the elastic part out of the slot when the button is pressed, unlocking the rotary dial 6. More specifically, the inclined block can cooperate with the inclined surface at the end of the elastic part to further improve the unlocking effect.

[0068] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
