[0033] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0034] The electronic device has button holes on its main body to accommodate buttons. When a button is pressed, the corresponding function is triggered so that the electronic device can perform the corresponding operation.

[0035] However, since the buttons are connected to the button holes via silicone parts, any errors in the connection of the silicone parts or any damage to the silicone parts themselves can affect the waterproof performance of the electronic devices.

[0036] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that the buttons and the internal space of the electronic device can be separated, reducing the need for button holes on the electronic device and thus avoiding the impact of silicone component errors or damage on the waterproof performance of the electronic device.

[0037] This disclosure provides an electronic device 100, see [link to previous document]. Figures 1 to 8 The electronic device 100 may include: a main body 10, a button 20, and a sensor 30. The main body 10 has a first receiving portion 11 and a second receiving portion 12 facing away from each other. The button 20 is disposed in the first receiving portion 11 and is capable of displacement relative to the main body 10. The sensor 30 is disposed in the second receiving portion 12. The sensor 30 is used to sense the displacement change of the button 20 and generate a corresponding sensing signal so that the electronic device 100 performs the target operation of the preset function of the corresponding button 20.

[0038] Electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, all-in-one computer, music player, fan, television, server, etc.

[0039] The main body 10 has at least a first surface and a second surface, which are opposite to each other. The first surface can be the outer surface of the electronic device 100, and the second surface can be the inner surface of the electronic device 100. The first surface can be provided with at least one first receiving portion 11, and the second surface can be provided with at least one second receiving portion 12. The main body 10 may also have a third surface and a fourth surface, which are opposite to each other. The third surface can be the outer surface of the electronic device 100, and the fourth surface can be the inner surface of the electronic device 100. The third surface can be provided with at least one first receiving portion 11, and the fourth surface can be provided with at least one second receiving portion 12. A first receiving portion 11 can accommodate one or more buttons 20, and the first receiving portion 11 can be a recessed groove. A second receiving portion 12 can accommodate one or more sensors 30, and the second receiving portion 12 can be a recessed groove. The shape, size, and other parameters of the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 may be the same or different.

[0040] The button 20 is disposed in the first receiving part 11 and can move relative to the main body 10 under external force (such as the force generated by the user's finger pushing or pulling). A button 20 can have one or more functions. The two sides of the button 20 along the direction of movement can contact the receiving part (first receiving part 11 or second receiving part 12) and remain in contact during the movement, so that the receiving part not only has the function of receiving the button 20, but also can guide the movement of the button 20.

[0041] A sensor 30, disposed within the second receiving portion 12, is capable of sensing changes in the displacement of the button 20 and generating a corresponding sensing signal, thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to perform an operation corresponding to a preset function of the button 20. When there are multiple buttons 20, multiple sensors 30 can be provided, each corresponding to one of the multiple buttons 20, to sense the movement of each button 20 and generate a corresponding sensing signal. The sensing element 30 can be a Hall sensor, which, based on the principle of Hall sensors, can detect changes in the magnetic field caused by the positional change of the magnetic component during the displacement of the magnetic button 20, and convert these changes into electrical signals (such as induction signals). These signals are then recognized by the motherboard 60 or other processors as operation signals corresponding to the preset function of the button 20, thereby driving the electronic device 100 to perform the corresponding operation (such as the target operation). The sensing element 30 can also be a magnetoresistive sensor, which can also detect changes in the magnetic field strength caused by the displacement of the magnetic button 20, and convert these changes into electrical signals (such as induction signals). These signals are then recognized by the motherboard 60 or other processors as operation signals corresponding to the preset function of the button 20, and the electronic device 100 can perform the corresponding operation (such as the target operation) according to the operation signal. Here, the Hall sensor is low in cost, highly stable, and simple in structure, while the magnetoresistive sensor has high sensitivity, providing different options. Of course, the sensing element 30 can also be other settings, which will not be elaborated here.

[0042] In one example, electronic device 100 can be a mobile phone, see [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 8The electronic device 100 may include: a main body 10, a button 20, and a sensor 30. The main body 10 includes a side frame of the electronic device 100, and the openings at both ends of the side frame can respectively connect to the display screen 40 and the back cover 50, so that the main body 10, together with the display screen 40 and the back cover 50, forms an internal space for accommodating electronic components such as the motherboard 60 and the battery 70. The main body 10 has a first surface located on the outside of the electronic device 100 and a second surface located in the internal space. The first surface is provided with two first receiving portions 11 distributed along a first direction (such as the length direction of the first surface), and the second surface is provided with two second receiving portions 12 distributed along the first direction, and the two second receiving portions 12 are opposite to the two first receiving portions 11 one by one. The button 20 includes: a first... A first button 21 and a second button 22 are provided. The first button 21 is disposed in a first receiving portion 11 and can be displaced relative to the main body 10 in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second button 22 is disposed in another first receiving portion 11 and can be displaced relative to the main body 10 in a first direction or a second direction. The displacement of the second button 22 relative to the main body 10 and the displacement of the first button 21 relative to the main body 10 do not interfere with each other. There are two sensors 30, which are disposed in two second receiving portions 12 respectively, and sense the displacement of the first button 21 and the second button 22 respectively, and generate corresponding sensing signals. When the user observes that the electronic device 100 is performing a target operation, the button 20 can be manually reset. Here, the first button 21 can be a volume control button. As the first button 21 moves along a first direction, the sensor 30 sensing the first button 21 detects the movement and generates a continuously increasing first signal, which gradually increases the volume output by the speaker on the electronic device 100. When the first button 21 moves along a second direction, the sensor 30 sensing the first button 21 detects the movement and generates a continuously increasing second signal, which gradually decreases the volume output by the speaker on the electronic device 100. The second button 22 can be a power button. When the second button 22 moves along a second direction, the sensor 30 sensing the second button 22 detects the movement and generates a third or fourth signal. The third signal can power off the electronic device 100, and the fourth signal can power on the electronic device 100.

[0043] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 may include a main body 10, a button 20, and a sensor 30. The main body 10 has a first receiving portion 11 and a second receiving portion 12 facing away from each other. The button 20 and the sensor 30 are respectively disposed in the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12. During the process of displacement of the button 20 relative to the main body 10, the sensor 30 can sense the displacement change and generate a corresponding sensing signal. The sensing signal can cause the electronic device 100 to perform an operation corresponding to the predetermined function of the button 20. The first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are arranged facing away from each other. The button 20 located in the first receiving part 11 and the sensor 30 located in the second receiving part 12 are isolated by the main body 10. This isolation eliminates the need for a button hole, thus avoiding the impact of silicone component errors or damage on the waterproof performance of the electronic device 100. For example, it prevents moisture, dust, and other foreign objects from entering the electronic device 100 through the button hole, which could lead to malfunctions. Furthermore, the absence of a button hole means that the button 20 does not participate in waterproofing, reducing the number of waterproofing points on the electronic device 100 and improving the overall waterproof yield. In addition, the button 20 can be displaced by the user's finger, providing a tactile feedback. Compared to electric switches, which are prone to shortened lifespan due to poor contact or component aging, the non-contact design of the button 20 avoids this, extending the lifespan of the electronic device 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 8 The button 20 may include: a first button 21, which is capable of a first displacement and a second displacement, the directions of which are opposite; when the first button 21 is displaced, the sensor 30 senses a change in the first magnetic field, so that the electronic device 100 performs a first operation; when the first button 21 is displaced, the sensor 30 senses a change in the second magnetic field, so that the electronic device 100 performs a second operation.

[0045] In other words, when the first button 21 undergoes different displacements relative to the main body 10, the sensor 30 can sense different magnetic field changes and generate different sensing signals, enabling the electronic device 100 to perform different operations. Furthermore, as the intensity of the magnetic field change increases, the operation performed by the electronic device 100 continuously changes. The displacement amounts of the first and second displacements can be the same or different. The first button 21 can be equipped with structures such as magnetic blocks so that the sensor 30 can sense changes in the magnetic field as the first button 21's displacement changes. The first operation (e.g., ...) Figure 7As shown, this can increase the volume output of the speaker on the electronic device 100, and the volume continuously increases as the magnetic field sensed by the sensing element 30 strengthens. The second operation (such as...) Figure 8 (As shown) could be to reduce the volume output of the speaker on the electronic device 100, and the volume would continuously decrease as the magnetic field sensed by the sensor 30 increases; or, the first operation could be to continuously brighten the brightness of the display screen 40, and the second operation could be to continuously dim the brightness of the display screen 40.

[0046] See one example. Figure 3 The sensing element 30 corresponding to the first button 21 may include a first sub-sensor 31 and a second sub-sensor 32. The first sub-sensor 31 and the second sub-sensor 32 are arranged along a second direction and are spaced apart. The first button 21 is positioned opposite the space between the first sub-sensor 31 and the second sub-sensor 32. When the first button 21 undergoes a first displacement along the first direction and is opposite to the first sub-sensor 31, the first sub-sensor 31 senses a first magnetic field change, causing the electronic device 100 to perform a first operation. When the first button 21 undergoes a second displacement along the second direction and is opposite to the second sub-sensor 32, the second sub-sensor 32 senses a second magnetic field change, causing the electronic device 100 to perform a second operation. The first sub-sensor 31 and the second sub-sensor 32 may be disposed in the same second receiving portion 12 or may be located in two separate second receiving portions 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first button 21 can be displaced in two opposite directions, causing the sensor 30 to generate different sensing signals, thereby enabling the first button 21 to have at least two functions (such as increasing the speaker output volume and decreasing the speaker output volume), so as to improve the integration of the electronic device 100, simplify its structure, and reduce its cost.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further include: a speaker, which is disposed on the body 10 and is signal-connected to the sensor 30; a first operation is to increase the volume output by the speaker, and a second operation is to decrease the volume output by the speaker.

[0049] A loudspeaker is a device that converts electrical signals into sound, and it reproduces sound through electroacoustic conversion technology. For example, when the first button 21 can produce a first displacement and a second displacement, and the first displacement and the second displacement are opposite, the electronic device 100 can also be equipped with a loudspeaker, so that when the first displacement is produced by the first button 21, the volume output by the loudspeaker is increased, and when the second displacement is produced by the first button 21, the volume output by the loudspeaker is decreased.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the electronic device 100 is equipped with a speaker, it can realize functions such as audio playback. Furthermore, when the first button 21 and the sensor 30 corresponding to the first button 21 cooperate, the volume of the speaker can be adjusted by the different displacement directions of the first button 21.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 The button 20 may include a second button 22, which is capable of a third displacement and a fourth displacement. The directions of the third displacement and the fourth displacement are the same, and the displacement amounts may be the same or different. The electronic device 100 also includes a timing element, which is signal-connected to the sensing element 30. When the second button 22 causes a third displacement, the sensing element 30 senses a change in the third magnetic field, and the timing element times the duration of the third magnetic field change for a first duration, so that the electronic device 100 performs a third operation or a fourth operation. When the second button 22 causes a fourth displacement, the sensing element 30 senses a change in the fourth magnetic field, and the timing element times the duration of the fourth magnetic field change for a second duration, the second duration being longer than the first duration, so that the electronic device 100 performs a fifth operation or a sixth operation.

[0052] In other words, when the second button 22 moves in the same direction relative to the main body 10, different sensing signals can be generated based on the duration of the displacement change, causing the electronic device 100 to perform different operations. The duration can be obtained using a timing device. For example, if the second button 22 is a power button, when the second button 22 moves a third distance along the second direction for a first duration, the electronic device 100 performs a third operation to turn on the display screen 40 or a fourth operation to turn off the screen. When the second button 22 moves a fourth distance along the second direction for a second duration longer than the first duration, the electronic device 100 performs a fifth operation to turn on the electronic device 100 or a sixth operation to turn off the electronic device 100. As another example, if the second button 22 is an image capture button, when the second button 22 moves a third distance along the second direction for a first duration, the electronic device 100 performs a third operation to take a picture in normal mode or a fourth operation to take a picture in filter mode. When the second button 22 moves a fourth distance along the second direction for a second duration longer than the first duration, the electronic device 100 performs a fifth operation to record video in normal mode or a sixth operation to record video in filter mode.

[0053] Here, when the second button 22 undergoes a third displacement along the second direction and this displacement lasts for a first duration, the electronic device 100 performs either a third operation to light up the display screen 40 or a fourth operation to turn off the screen. Whether to perform the third or fourth operation can be determined by the current state. For example, if the electronic device 100 is currently in a screen-on state (e.g., the third operation), then the fourth operation is performed; otherwise, the third operation is performed. Similarly, whether to perform the fifth or sixth operation can be determined based on the current state, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the second button 22 is displaced in the same direction relative to the main body 10, the electronic device 100 can perform different operations by varying the duration of the displacement. This can improve the integration of the electronic device 100, simplify its structure, and reduce its cost. Furthermore, since both the second button 22 and the first button 21 have multiple preset functions, the settings for different functions are different, and they can be flexibly selected according to different settings, usage habits, etc.

[0055] When the electronic device 100 is provided with a first button 21 and a second button 22, the first button 21 and the second button 22 may be located on the same surface of the electronic device 100 or on different surfaces; when the first button 21 and the second button 22 are located on the same surface, the first button 21 and the second button 22 may be located in the same first receiving part 11 or in different first receiving parts 11 respectively.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic device 100 may further include: a motherboard 60 and a display screen 40; the motherboard 60 is signal-connected to the sensor 30 and the timing device; the display screen 40 is signal-connected to the motherboard 60 and changes the display content and display state according to the display signal of the motherboard 60, the display state including a screen-on state and a screen-off state; the third operation is for the display screen 40 to switch from the screen-off state to the screen-on state; the fourth operation is for the display screen 40 to switch from the screen-on state to the screen-off state; the fifth operation is for the electronic device 100 to switch from the power-off state to the power-on state; the sixth operation is for the electronic device 100 to switch from the power-on state to the power-off state.

[0057] The motherboard 60 is connected to the display screen 40 and can control the display content, the on-screen state, and the off-screen state of the display screen 40. The motherboard 60 can also control the power-on and power-off operations of the electronic device 100. When the second button 22 is the power button, the sensing signal sensed by the sensor 30 and the duration determined by the timer can be sent to the motherboard 60. The motherboard 60 can control the display screen 40 according to the current state, the sensing signal, and the duration. For example, if the motherboard 60 controls the display screen 40 to be in the on-screen state, and the sensor 30 senses the third displacement and the timer determines the first duration, then the motherboard 60 controls the display screen 40 to switch from the on-screen state to the off-screen state. Alternatively, if the motherboard 60 controls the display screen 40 to be in a screen-off state, and the sensor 30 detects a third displacement, and the timer determines a first duration, then the motherboard 60 controls the display screen 40 to switch from a screen-off state to a screen-on state; or, if the motherboard 60 controls the electronic device 100 to be in a power-off state, and the sensor 30 detects a fourth displacement, and the timer determines a second duration, then the motherboard 60 controls the electronic device 100 to switch from a power-off state to a power-on state; or, if the motherboard 60 controls the electronic device 100 to be in a power-on state, and the sensor 30 detects a fourth displacement, and the timer determines a second duration, then the motherboard 60 controls the electronic device 100 to switch from a power-on state to a power-off state.

[0058] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 may further include a display screen 40 and a motherboard 60. The display screen 40 enables the electronic device 100 to have a display function, while the motherboard 60 can work with the button 20, the sensor 30, and the timing device to switch the display screen 40 between the on and off states, as well as between the power-on and power-off states.

[0059] In some embodiments, the motherboard 60 can also be connected to the lens assembly on the electronic device 100 and control the lens assembly to be in normal mode photo taking state, filter mode photo taking state, normal mode video recording state, and filter mode video recording state. When the second button 22 is the image acquisition button, the motherboard 60 can make the electronic device 100 perform a third operation, a fourth operation, a fifth operation, or a sixth operation according to the sensing signal sensed by the sensor 30 and the duration determined by the timer, thereby realizing the adjustment of the lens assembly state.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2The main body 10 may further include: a frame 13 and a back cover 50; the frame 13 has a first opening and a second opening that are connected to each other; a display screen 40 is disposed in the first opening and closes the first opening; the back cover 50 is disposed in the second opening and is sealed by a ring of sealant 80; wherein, the frame 13, the display screen 40 and the back cover 50 form an internal space of the main body 10, and a second receiving part 12 is disposed on the frame 13 and communicates with the internal space; a motherboard 60 is disposed in the internal space, and the motherboard 60 is used to send a target signal corresponding to the target operation according to the sensing signal.

[0061] The frame 13 can be a rectangular frame with opposing first and second openings. A ring edge of the display screen 40 can be connected to the ring edge of the first opening via a sealing structure such as adhesive. A sealant 80 (such as pressure-sensitive adhesive, PSA) forms an annular seal between the second opening and the back cover 50, creating a closed internal space for the electronic device 100. The sealant 80 also improves the waterproof performance of the internal space of the electronic device 100 and protects the battery 70, such as... Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, when the sealant 80 is placed near the back cover 50, the chance of moisture and other water vapor coming into contact with the battery 70 can be reduced.

[0062] The second receiving portion 12 is disposed on the surface of the frame 13 corresponding to the internal space and is in the form of a groove to communicate with the internal space. The motherboard 60 is disposed in the internal space so that it can be physically protected by the frame 13, the display screen 40 and the back cover 50.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 8 The electronic device 100 may further include: a reset member 90; the reset member 90 is connected to the button 20 and provides a reset force to the button 20 in the opposite direction of displacement when the button 20 is displaced.

[0064] Reset component 90 can be Figures 3 to 8 The spring shown can also be other elastic structures such as rubber. When an external force is applied to the button 20 and the button 20 is displaced, the reset member 90 can provide a reset force to the button 20 in the opposite direction of the displacement, so that the button 20 can be quickly and easily reset when the external force is removed.

[0065] See one example. Figures 4 to 8The first receiving portion 11 may include a first part 111 and a second part 112 arranged in parallel, and a connecting through hole 113 connecting the first part 111 and the second part 112, so that the first receiving portion 11 is H-shaped, the first button 21 is also H-shaped, and is located in the first part 111, the second part 112 and the connecting through hole 113 respectively, and the dimensions of the first part 111, the second part 112 and the connecting through hole 113 in the first direction are larger than the dimensions of the corresponding part of the first button 21, so that the button 20 can be displaced relative to the first receiving portion 11 along the first direction or the second direction; two reset members 90 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first button 21 located in the second part 112 along the first direction, and can provide reset force for the first button 21 during the reset process along the first direction and the second direction respectively.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are located on opposite sides of the main body 10, and the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are correspondingly arranged but not connected.

[0067] The first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 can be two grooves on two opposite surfaces of the main body 10, and the inner bottom walls of the two grooves are not connected, so that the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are not connected and are arranged opposite to each other. Due to the non-connection between the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12, the situation where water enters the electronic device 100 through the key hole can be avoided.

[0068] In some embodiments, the button 20 includes a target component; in the initial state, the target component and the sensor 30 are misaligned; after the button 20 is displaced relative to the main body 10, the target component and the sensor 30 are correspondingly positioned, and the target component can trigger the sensor 30 to generate a corresponding sensing signal.

[0069] The target component can be a magnet installed inside the button 20, a magnetized part in the metal magnetization process of the button 20, or other components that make the button 20 magnetic. The magnetism of the button 20 can cause the sensing element 30 to sense the change in the magnetic field during its displacement.

[0070] The initial state can be a specific state, such as: low volume state, high volume state, screen off state, screen on state, power on state, power off state, etc. In this state, the target component and the sensor 30 can be misaligned. Then, after the button 20 is displaced relative to the main body 10, the displacement makes the position of the target component correspond to the position of the sensor 30. At this time, the sensor 30 can generate a sensing signal to make the electronic device 100 perform the corresponding operation.

[0071] For example, in the initial state, the volume is low. At this time, the target and the sensor 30 are misaligned. Then, as the button 20 moves in the first direction relative to the main body 10, the position of the target gradually corresponds to the position of the sensor 30, and the sensor 30 generates a continuous sensing signal so that the volume output by the speaker of the electronic device 100 is gradually increased.

[0072] In some embodiments, there are multiple buttons 20, which are located on the same side or different sides of the main body 10, and the preset functions of any two buttons 20 are inconsistent.

[0073] Multiple buttons 20 can be provided on the same electronic device 100. Different buttons 20 have different functions so that different controls can be performed on the electronic device 100. Multiple buttons 20 can be located on the same side of the main body 10 so that the user can operate with the same hand, or they can be located on different sides of the main body 10 so that the user can operate with two hands respectively. It is also convenient to distinguish the preset functions of the buttons 20 on different sides according to their positions.
