[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0029] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 includes a main screen unit 1 and a secondary screen unit 2. The main screen unit 1 includes a main display side 11. The main display side 11 includes a main display area 111 for displaying a first content image and a first non-display area 112. The first non-display area 112 is disposed relative to the display area near the edge of the electronic device 100. Figure 1 As shown, the first non-display area 112 is disposed around the main display area 111, so the main display area 111 is located further inside the main display side 11 than the first non-display area 112. In other embodiments, the first non-display area 112 may not be disposed around the main display area 111, for example, it may be disposed only on one side, two sides or three sides of the main display area 111.

[0031] The secondary screen 2 is connected to the main screen 1 and includes a secondary display side 21. The secondary display side 21 forms an angle with the main display side 11. That is, the secondary display side 21 is not parallel to the main display side 11. The secondary display side 21 includes a secondary display area 211 for displaying a second content screen and a second non-display area 212.

[0032] The arrangement of the main display area 111 and the secondary display area 211 allows the electronic device 100 to display images in multiple locations. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the secondary display side 21 and the main display side 11 are located on the front of the electronic device 100, so the user of the electronic device 100 can see the first content screen and the second content screen on the same side. For example, when the electronic device 100 is a tablet computer for learning purposes, the first content screen can display questions, and the second content screen can display a countdown timer. This arrangement allows the main display area 111 to have a larger display area to display the main content, while the secondary display area 211 of the secondary screen 2 can display auxiliary content without occupying the space of the main display area 111. In this embodiment, since the secondary display side 21 and the main display side 11 form an angle, even if the user places the main display side 11 of the tablet computer parallel to the desktop, the user can better observe the content displayed in the secondary display area 211 by tilting the secondary display side 21.

[0033] In other embodiments, the main display side 11 is located on the front of the electronic device 100, and the secondary display side 21 is located on the back of the electronic device 100. In this embodiment, when the first user positions the main display side 11, for example, perpendicular to a tabletop, a second user located on the back of the electronic device 100 can see the second screen content of the secondary display area 211. For example, the first content screen may display questions and answers, while the second content screen only displays the questions. Thus, the first user could be a teacher, and the second user a student, allowing for question-and-answer interaction.

[0034] Of course, the content displayed on the first content screen and the second content screen can be the same. This application does not limit this.

[0035] Since the electronic device 100 of this application includes a main screen 1 and a secondary screen 2, and the main screen 1 and the secondary screen 2 are respectively provided with effective display areas for displaying screen content, the display brightness of the main display area 111 and the display brightness of the secondary display area 211 will affect the user's comfort when using the electronic device 100.

[0036] Therefore, the electronic device 100 of this application further includes a sensing unit 3. The sensing unit 3 includes a first light sensing unit 31, a second light sensing unit 32, and a control unit 33, which are electrically connected. The first light sensing unit 31 is disposed in a first non-display area 112 and is used to acquire first light information. The second light sensing unit 32 is disposed in a second non-display area 212 and is used to acquire second light information. The control unit 33 is used to adjust the brightness of the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 according to the first and second light information.

[0037] The first non-display area 112 is close to the main display area 111. Therefore, the first light sensing unit 31, located in the first non-display area 112, can more accurately obtain the first light information received by the main display area 111, without affecting the display area of ​​the main display area 111. The second non-display area 212 is close to the sub-display area 211. Therefore, the second light sensing unit 32, located in the second non-display area 212, also makes the information fed back by the second light information more accurate.

[0038] Because the main screen 1 and the sub-screen 2 are located in different positions, and the sub-display side 21 and the main display side 11 are at an angle, the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 receive different levels of light. Under different lighting conditions, the required brightness of the display areas also varies. With this configuration, the electronic device 100 can specifically adjust the brightness of the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 based on the first light information and the second light information, making the brightness adjustment of the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 more reasonable, thereby ensuring the user's eye comfort when using the electronic device 100 and avoiding excessive eye strain and visual fatigue.

[0039] Optionally, the control unit 33 is used to adjust the brightness of the main display area 111 to a first brightness based on the first light information, and to adjust the brightness of the sub-display area 211 to a second brightness based on the second light information. The first brightness and the second brightness may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the control unit 33 can adjust the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 to different brightness levels based on the first light information and the second light information, respectively. For example, if the main display area 11 receives stronger light and the sub-display area 21 receives weaker light, then the control unit 33 adjusts the first brightness to be greater than the second brightness. If the main display area 11 and the sub-display area 21 receive the same amount of light, then the control unit 33 adjusts the first brightness and the second brightness to be the same. This configuration allows the electronic device 100 to perform targeted brightness adjustments on the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211, thereby improving the intelligence of the electronic device 100 in brightness adjustment.

[0040] Alternatively, in other optional embodiments, the control unit 33 is used to adjust the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 to the same brightness based on the first light information and the second light information. In this embodiment, the brightness of the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 is always consistent, and the control unit 33 processes the first light information and the second light information to determine a suitable brightness, so that the user has a comfortable visual experience when observing the main display area 111 and the sub-display area 211 at this brightness, while still being able to clearly see the content of the first and second screens. This setting can effectively reduce the amount of data that the control unit 33 needs to process, while ensuring a comfortable user experience.

[0041] The main screen 1 includes an upper edge 12. The upper edge 12 should be understood as the edge of the electronic device 100 furthest from the user's body when the user uses the electronic device 100 horizontally. In some alternative embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the secondary screen 2 is located at the upper edge 12, and the secondary display side 21 faces the main display side 11. Compared with embodiments where the secondary screen 2 is located on the left or right side of the electronic device 100, this embodiment allows the user to switch back and forth between the main display area 111 and the secondary display area 211 by only slightly shifting their gaze position when using the electronic device 100 flat, without having to twist their head.

[0042] When a user places the electronic device 100 on a table, its lower edge 13, away from the upper edge 12, is close to the user's body. Therefore, the user's body may block light from the lower edge 13. Similarly, when the user stands the electronic device 100 upright, the lower edge 13 may still be supported by the user's body, and the user's hand may be holding the device on the left or right side. Therefore, the lower edge 13, left side, and right side of the electronic device 100 are likely to be blocked by the user's body during use. If the first light sensing unit 31 is placed in these areas, the accuracy of the acquired first light information may be reduced.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the secondary screen 2 is centrally located at the upper edge 12. Thus, when the user uses the electronic device 100, the secondary screen 2 is positioned directly in front of the user's limbs. Therefore, the user can quickly observe the second content screen of the secondary display area 211 of the secondary screen 2 by moving their gaze point, regardless of where they are looking at the main display area 111.

[0044] Optionally, at least a portion of the first non-display area 112 is disposed near the upper edge 12. For example, the first non-display area 112 is disposed only between the main display area 111 and the upper edge 12, or the first non-display area 112 is disposed around the main display area 111. In this embodiment, the first light sensing unit 31 is disposed near the upper edge 12. Since the upper edge 12 is least likely to be obstructed by the user's body during use, the first light sensing unit 31 disposed on the upper edge 12 can more accurately acquire the first light information, thereby ensuring that the control unit 33 adjusts the brightness of the main display area 111 more accurately.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the first light sensing unit 31 and the sub-screen 2 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the upper edge 12. Since the sub-display side 21 and the main display side 11 are at an angle, the sub-display side 21 may obstruct some light from the main display side 11 at its connection point. By positioning the first light sensing unit 31 away from the sub-screen 2, the light obstruction caused by the sub-screen 2 can be avoided, thus preventing a reduction in the accuracy of the first light sensing unit 31 in sensing external light. Therefore, this arrangement ensures the accuracy of the brightness adjustment of the main display area 111 by the control unit 33.

[0046] Because there is an angle between the secondary display side 21 and the primary display side 11, and the secondary display side 21 is positioned towards the primary display side 11, light emitted from the primary display area 111 may also enter the second light sensing unit 32. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, the second light sensing unit 32 acquires ambient light information and device light information from the primary display area 111 as second light information. The second light information processed by the control unit 33 can then reduce the brightness error caused by the device light emitted from the primary display area 111, thereby adjusting the brightness of the secondary display area 211 to a level suitable for the current ambient light.

[0047] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic device 100 may further include a camera unit 4. The camera unit 4 is disposed on the secondary display side 21. The camera unit 4 is used to capture images of the side of the main screen 1 away from the secondary screen 2. For example, the camera unit 4 may be used to capture the user's body posture at this time, thereby determining whether the user is in an unhealthy posture. Alternatively, the camera unit 4 may be used to capture the user's facial expression at this time, thereby determining whether the user is fatigued. Alternatively, the camera unit 4 may also acquire text information, enabling the user to interact with the electronic device 100 through external text. This application does not impose specific limitations on the content captured by the camera unit 4. By setting the camera unit 4 on the secondary screen 2, the electronic device 100 can enrich the ways of interacting with the user, thereby improving the intelligence of the use of the electronic device 100 and enriching its functionality.

[0048] Furthermore, the camera unit 4 includes a first camera unit 41 and a second camera unit 42. The shooting direction of the first camera unit 41 is different from that of the second camera unit 42. Thus, the first camera unit 41 and the second camera unit 42 can be used to acquire different image information. For example, the first camera unit 41 is used to acquire the user's body posture, and the second camera unit 42 is used to acquire the user's facial expression. This application does not specifically limit the content acquired by the first camera unit 41 and the second camera unit 42. In this embodiment, the sub-display area 211 is disposed between the first camera unit 41 and the second camera unit 42. This arrangement can center the sub-display area 211 as much as possible on the sub-display side 21, thereby maximizing the display area of ​​the sub-display area 211, while also facilitating the user's observation of the second screen content of the sub-display area 211.

[0049] In this embodiment, optionally, the second light sensing unit 32 is disposed in the second non-display area 212 between the first camera unit 41 and the sub-display area 211. Alternatively, the second light sensing unit 32 is disposed in the second non-display area 212 between the second camera unit 42 and the sub-display area 211.

[0050] Compared to solutions where the secondary display area 211 is located close to or far from the main display side 11, this embodiment effectively utilizes the empty space between the secondary display area 211 and the camera unit 4, avoiding a reduction in the display area of ​​the secondary display area 211. Furthermore, the second light sensing unit 32 is positioned close to the secondary display area 211, thus enabling more accurate acquisition of the second light information at the location of the secondary display area 211, allowing the control unit 33 to more effectively and accurately adjust the display brightness of the secondary display area 211.

[0051] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
