Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart terminal technology, specifically to an opening and closing component and a smart terminal. Background Technology

[0002] As the public's demand for the convenience of smart terminals increases, products such as foldable screen phones and laptops take up little space when folded and are easy to carry, so such foldable smart terminal products are developing rapidly.

[0003] In some designs, foldable smart terminal products typically include flip-up upper and lower modules, with strong magnets at the four corners on the outer sides of these modules. When the upper and lower modules are closed, the attraction of opposite-shaped magnets ensures a seamless closure. However, in daily use, the strong magnetic force makes it difficult for users to easily open the closed foldable smart terminal product with one hand, resulting in poor operability.

[0004] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0025] Optionally, when the actuating member slides, the magnetic shielding part is inserted between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group, or retracts from between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group.

[0026] Optionally, the magnetic shielding part is a metallic magnetic material.

[0027] Optionally, embodiments of this application provide a smart terminal, which may include a device body and the opening / closing component described above.

[0028] Optionally, the opening and closing component is sleeved on the outside of the device body, or the device body and part of the opening and closing component are integral parts.

[0029] As described above, the opening and closing component of this application is used in a smart terminal, wherein the opening and closing component includes a first opening and closing member, a second opening and closing member, a first magnet group, a second magnet group, and an isolation mechanism. The first opening and closing member and the second opening and closing member open and close via a pivot. The first magnet group is connected to the first opening and closing member, and the second magnet group is connected to the second opening and closing member. The first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group are opposite to each other and have opposite magnetic field polarities.

[0030] Here, the first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group are opposite to each other and have opposite magnetic field polarities. There is a strong magnetic attraction between the first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group. The second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group are opposite to each other and have the same magnetic field polarity. There is a magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group. When a part of the isolation mechanism is inserted between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group, the magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the opposite second end of the second magnet group is weakened. As a result, the first opening and closing member and the second opening and closing member are attracted and closed under the magnetic attraction between the first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group. When part of the isolation mechanism is disengaged from the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group, the magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the opposite second end of the second magnet group is enhanced. This causes the first and second opening / closing components to flip and unfold at a certain angle under the magnetic repulsion between the second ends of the first and second magnet groups. At this time, it is equivalent to operating the isolation mechanism to flip and unfold the first and second opening / closing components at a certain angle. This allows the user to continue to flip and unfold the first and second opening / closing components with a little force with one hand, making it more convenient for the user to open the foldable smart terminal product and improving the user's operability.

[0053] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0054] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios applicable to the embodiments of this application will be described below.

[0055] As the public's demand for the convenience of smart terminals increases, products such as foldable screen phones and laptops take up little space when folded and are easy to carry, so such foldable smart terminal products are developing rapidly.

[0056] In the relevant technical field, foldable smart terminal products typically include flip-up upper and lower modules, such as foldable smartphones, and strong magnets are designed at the four corners on the outer side of the upper and lower modules. When the upper and lower modules are closed, the principle of attraction between opposite magnets ensures that the upper and lower modules close without gaps. However, in daily use, due to the magnetic force of the strong magnets, users cannot easily open the closed foldable smart terminal product with one hand, resulting in poor operability.

[0057] This application provides an opening and closing component and a smart terminal. The opening and closing component includes a first opening and closing member, a second opening and closing member, a first magnet group, a second magnet group, and an isolation mechanism. The first and second opening and closing members are opened and closed via a pivot. The first magnet group is connected to the first opening and closing member, and the second magnet group is connected to the second opening and closing member. The first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group are opposite to each other and have opposite magnetic field polarities. The second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group are opposite to each other and have the same magnetic field polarity. The isolation mechanism is movably disposed between the first and second opening and closing members. At least a portion of the isolation mechanism can be inserted between the second ends of the first and second magnet groups or withdrawn from between the second ends of the first and second magnet groups.

[0058] Here, the first end of the first magnet group is opposite to the first end of the second magnet group and has opposite magnetic field polarities. There is a strong magnetic attraction between the first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group. The second end of the first magnet group is opposite to the second end of the second magnet group and has the same magnetic field polarity. There is a magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group. According to the principle of magnetic adsorption and repulsion, the principle of magnetic shielding sheet and the principle of Heilbeck array magnet, when a part of the isolation mechanism is inserted between the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group, the magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the opposite second end of the second magnet group can be weakened. As a result, the first opening and closing parts and the second opening and closing parts are attracted and closed under the magnetic attraction between the first end of the first magnet group and the first end of the second magnet group. When part of the isolation mechanism is disengaged from the second end of the first magnet group and the second end of the second magnet group, the magnetic repulsion between the second end of the first magnet group and the opposite second end of the second magnet group is enhanced. This causes the first and second opening / closing components to flip and unfold at a certain angle under the magnetic repulsion between the second ends of the first and second magnet groups. At this time, it is equivalent to operating the isolation mechanism to flip and unfold the first and second opening / closing components at a certain angle. This allows the user to continue to flip and unfold the first and second opening / closing components with a little force with one hand, making it more convenient for the user to open the foldable smart terminal product and improving the user's operability.

[0059] The following explanation uses magnet 10 as an example to clarify the terms mentioned above.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic field polarity of a single magnet 10 can be divided into S pole and N pole. Within the same magnet 10, there are magnetic field lines from the N pole toward the S pole. In two adjacent magnets 10, when the N poles are opposite each other or the S poles are opposite each other, there is a repulsive force. When the N poles are opposite each other, there is a magnetic attraction force. The closer the two magnets 10 are, the denser the magnetic field lines are, and the greater their repulsive or magnetic attraction force is. This is the principle of magnetic adsorption and repulsion.

[0061] The principle of magnetic shielding is based on the separation principle of magnetic materials. By utilizing the effect of a magnetic field, it achieves the separation of magnetic or magnetized materials from non-magnetic materials. In application, when a ferromagnetic object, such as an iron plate, is near a single magnet, the magnetic field lines will start from the N pole, pass through the iron plate, and return to the S pole. Inserting a ferromagnetic object between the two poles can reduce the repulsive force between them.

[0062] Reference Figure 5As shown, the principle of the Hellbeck array magnet 10 is as follows: by arranging magnets 10 with different magnetization directions according to a certain pattern, magnetic field lines can be concentrated on one side of the magnet, while the magnetic field lines are weakened on the other side, thereby obtaining a relatively ideal unilateral magnetic field. With a regular arrangement, the surface magnetic field strength of the strong side of the Hellbeck array magnet 10 group of the same size is approximately 1.4 times that of a traditional single magnet 10, while the magnetism on the weak side is very weak, adjustable to only 2%-3% of the strength.

[0063] Based on the structure of the smart terminal and the opening / closing component on the smart terminal described above, various embodiments of this application are proposed.

[0064] First Embodiment

[0065] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides an opening and closing assembly 20 for a smart terminal. The opening and closing assembly 20 includes a first opening and closing member 100, a second opening and closing member 200, a first magnet group 300, a second magnet group 400, and an isolation mechanism 500. The first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200 open and close via a pivot. The first magnet group 300 is connected to the first opening and closing member 100, and the second magnet group 400 is connected to the second opening and closing member 200. The first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 is opposite to the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400. Furthermore, the magnetic field polarities are opposite, with the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 facing each other and having the same magnetic field polarity; the isolation mechanism 500 is movably disposed between either the first opening / closing member 100 or the second opening / closing member 200; at least a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 can be inserted between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, or can be withdrawn from between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400. Here, the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 open and close via a rotating shaft, which is prior art in the relevant technical field, and the specific structure of the rotating shaft is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0066] Optionally, the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400 are opposite to each other and have opposite magnetic field polarities. There is a strong magnetic attraction between the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400. The second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 are opposite to each other and have the same magnetic field polarity. There is a magnetic repulsion between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400.

[0067] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 is inserted between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, the magnetic repulsion between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the opposite second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 is weakened, thereby causing the first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200 to be attracted and closed under the magnetic attraction between the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400.

[0068] When a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 is disengaged from the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, the magnetic repulsion between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the corresponding second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 is enhanced. This causes the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 to flip and unfold at a certain angle under the action of the magnetic repulsion between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400. At this time, it is equivalent to operating the isolation mechanism 500 to flip and unfold the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 at a certain angle. This allows the user to continue to flip and unfold the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 with a little force using one hand, making it more convenient for the user to open the foldable smart terminal product and improving the user's operability.

[0069] Optionally, the first magnet assembly 300 is disposed at the end of the first opening / closing member 100 opposite to the direction of rotation, and the second magnet assembly 400 is disposed at the end of the second opening / closing member 200 opposite to the direction of rotation. This adjusts the torque so that the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 can be flipped and unfolded more conveniently.

[0070] Optionally, the repulsive force between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400. The magnitudes of the magnetic attraction and repulsive forces between the two magnet groups can be varied according to the magnet's shape and type, which is existing technology. For example, by setting the volume of the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 to be greater than the volume of the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400, the repulsive force between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400. This facilitates the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 flipping and unfolding under the action of the repulsive force.

[0071] Optionally, refer to Figure 8As shown, the first magnet group 300 includes at least two first magnetic elements 310, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction, and the magnetic poles of adjacent first magnetic elements 310 are opposite in direction; the second magnet group 400 includes at least two second magnetic elements 410, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction, and the magnetic poles of adjacent second magnetic elements 410 are perpendicular in direction.

[0072] At the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 310 and the second magnetic element 410 are opposite; at the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 310 and the second magnetic element 410 are the same.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the first direction can be the length extension direction of the first opening and closing member 100 or the second opening and closing member 200, and the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400 is disposed between the first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400 and the rotating shaft.

[0074] Optionally, based on the principle of Hellbeck array magnets, and referring to... Figure 9 As shown, the second magnet assembly 400 has a strong magnetic side and a weak magnetic side, with the strong magnetic side facing the first magnet assembly 300 and the weak magnetic side facing away from the first magnet assembly 300. When a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 is inserted between the second end 302 of the first magnet assembly 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet assembly 400, it helps to tightly attract the first end 301 of the first magnet assembly 300 and the first end 301 of the second magnet assembly 400 under the action of the strong magnetic side, thereby making the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 tightly attracted. At the same time, when a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 is withdrawn from between the second end 302 of the first magnet assembly 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet assembly 400, the strong magnetic side can more easily allow the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 to flip and unfold.

[0075] Optionally, the outer edges of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400 are arc-shaped. On the one hand, this facilitates the installation of the first magnet group 300 and the second magnet group 400 into the first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200. The arc-shaped arrangement can make full use of the corner space of the first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200. On the other hand, the arc-shaped arrangement can change the magnitude of the magnetic force between the first end 301 and the second end 302.

[0076] Second Embodiment

[0077] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, and in combination Figures 1 to 3This application provides an opening and closing assembly 20 for a smart terminal. The opening and closing assembly 20 includes a first opening and closing member 100, a second opening and closing member 200, a first magnet group 300, a second magnet group 400, and an isolation mechanism 500. The first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200 open and close via a pivot. The first magnet group 300 is connected to the first opening and closing member 100, and the second magnet group 400 is connected to the second opening and closing member 200. The first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 is opposite to the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400 and... The magnetic fields have opposite polarities, with the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 facing each other and having the same magnetic field polarity. An isolation mechanism 500 is movably disposed between either the first opening / closing member 100 or the second opening / closing member 200. At least a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 can be inserted between the second ends 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second ends 302 of the second magnet group 400, or can be withdrawn from between them. Here, the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 open and close via a pivot, which is prior art in the relevant technical field. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the pivot.

[0078] The opening and closing assembly 20 also includes a third magnet group 600 and a fourth magnet group 700. The third magnet group 600 is connected to the first opening and closing member 100, and the fourth magnet group 700 is connected to the second opening and closing member 200. There is a magnetic attraction between the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700. The magnetic attraction between the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700 is less than the repulsive force between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400.

[0079] Optionally, when a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 is inserted between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 can be further tightly attracted under the magnetic attraction between the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700, thereby improving the stability between the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200.

[0080] Optionally, the third magnet group 600 is disposed at the end of the first opening and closing member 100 away from the direction of rotation axis, and the line connecting the third magnet group 600 and the first magnet group 300 is parallel to the rotation axis.

[0081] Optionally, the fourth magnet group 700 is disposed at the end of the second opening and closing member 200 away from the direction of rotation axis, and the line connecting the fourth magnet group 700 and the second magnet group 400 is parallel to the rotation axis.

[0082] By adopting the above-mentioned configuration, the forces on both sides of the first opening and closing component 100 and the second opening and closing component 200 can be evenly distributed, which facilitates the flipping and unfolding of the first opening and closing component 100 and the second opening and closing component 200.

[0083] Optionally, the third magnet group 600 includes at least two third magnetic elements 610, which are arranged sequentially along the first direction, and the magnetic pole direction of at least one third magnetic element 610 is opposite to that of the other third magnetic elements 610; the fourth magnet group 700 includes at least two fourth magnetic elements 710, which are arranged sequentially along the first direction, and the magnetic pole directions of adjacent fourth magnetic elements 710 are perpendicular.

[0084] At both ends of the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700 along the first direction, the magnetic poles of the corresponding third magnetic element 610 and fourth magnetic element 710 are the same. The first direction is the extension direction of the length of the first opening / closing element 100 or the second opening / closing element 200.

[0085] Optionally, the fourth magnet assembly 700 has a strong magnetic side and a weak magnetic side, with the weak magnetic side facing the third magnet assembly 600 and the strong magnetic side facing away from the third magnet assembly 600. This further facilitates the attraction and unfolding between the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200.

[0086] Optionally, the outer edges of the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700 are arc-shaped. On the one hand, this facilitates the installation of the third magnet group 600 and the fourth magnet group 700 into the first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200. The arc-shaped arrangement can make full use of the corner space of the first opening and closing member 100 and the second opening and closing member 200. On the other hand, the arc-shaped arrangement can change the magnitude of the magnetic force between the first end 301 and the second end 302.

[0087] Optionally, the first magnet group 300 and the third magnet group 600 are located on opposite sides of the end of the first opening / closing member 100 away from the pivot; and / or, the second magnet group 400 and the fourth magnet group 700 are located on opposite sides of the end of the second opening / closing member 200 away from the pivot. This avoids the first opening / closing member 100 and the second opening / closing member 200 from tilting when unfolded, thus extending their service life.

The first magnet group 300 is connected to the first opening and closing member 100, and the second magnet group 400 is connected to the second opening and closing member 200. The first end 301 of the first magnet group 300 is opposite to the first end 301 of the second magnet group 400 and... The magnetic fields have opposite polarities, with the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400 facing each other and having the same magnetic field polarity. An isolation mechanism 500 is movably disposed between either the first opening / closing member 100 or the second opening / closing member 200. At least a portion of the isolation mechanism 500 can be inserted between the second ends 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second ends 302 of the second magnet group 400, or can be withdrawn from between them.

This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the pivot.

[0090] The isolation mechanism 500 includes a toggle member 510 and an isolation member 520. The toggle member 510 is slidably disposed on the side of the first opening and closing member 100 or the side of the second opening and closing member 200. The isolation member 520 is connected to the toggle member 510, and the end of the isolation member 520 away from the toggle member 510 has a magnetic shielding part 530.

[0091] When the actuating member 510 slides, the magnetic shielding part 530 is inserted between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, or it is withdrawn from the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400.

[0092] By setting the toggle member 510, the isolating member 520 can be easily moved from the side of the first opening / closing member 100 or the side of the second opening / closing member 200, thereby facilitating the insertion of the magnetic isolation part 530 between the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, or its withdrawal from the second end 302 of the first magnet group 300 and the second end 302 of the second magnet group 400, further improving the ease of operation.

[0093] Optionally, a groove 101 is provided in at least one of the sides of the first opening / closing member 100 or the second opening / closing member 200, and the actuating member 510 slides within the groove 101. The extending direction of the groove 101 is consistent with the length extending direction of the first opening / closing member 100 or the second opening / closing member 200.

[0094] Optionally, the magnetic shielding part 530 is a metallic magnetic material, for example, an iron sheet. The iron sheet has high strength and hardness, which can extend its service life.

Figure 12 The mobile terminal structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0102] The following is combined Figure 12 A detailed introduction to each component of the mobile terminal:

[0103] The radio frequency (RF) unit 1010 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission or calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and processes it with the processor 1100; additionally, it transmits uplink data to the base station.

The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 can be stored in the memory 1090 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the radio frequency unit 1010 or the WiFi module 1020. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as telephone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 1010 in telephone call mode. Microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

Optionally, the user input unit 1070 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect touch operations performed by the user on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071), and drive the corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch position and the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and sends it to the processor 1100, and can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 1100. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 1070 may also include other input devices 1072. Optionally, other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power buttons, etc.), trackball, mouse, joystick, etc., without being specifically limited here.

[0110] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 1100 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 1100 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in Figure 12 In this embodiment, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. The specific implementation is not limited here.

Interface unit 1080 may be used to receive input (e.g., data, power, etc.) from the external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within mobile terminal 1000, or it may be used to transmit data between mobile terminal 1000 and the external device.

[0112] The memory 1090 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 1090 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store the operating system, applications required for at least one function (such as sound playback, image playback, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). Furthermore, the memory 1090 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0113] The processor 1100 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It connects various parts of the mobile terminal via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 1090, and by calling data stored in the memory 1090, it performs various functions and processes data of the mobile terminal, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. The processor 1100 may include one or at least two processing units; preferably, the processor 1100 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and applications, while the modem processor mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 1100.

[0114] The mobile terminal 1000 may also include a power supply 1110 (such as a battery) that supplies power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 1110 can be logically connected to the processor 1100 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.
