[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on November 30, 2023, with application number 202311633231.1 and application name “Electronic Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of electronic devices, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] Cameras are commonly found in mobile phones and laptops, enabling users to perform various functions such as photography and video chatting. Taking laptops as an example, the camera is generally mounted on the screen border and faces only in a fixed direction. This approach results in a limited camera range, low utilization, and a low screen-to-body ratio.

[0004] How to provide a solution to expand the camera's shooting range and meet more shooting needs based on the limited number of camera configurations, while increasing the screen-to-body ratio, has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0057] The technical solution in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents or. For example, A / B can represent A or B. "And / or" in this article is simply a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "plurality" means two or more than two.

[0059] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the quantity of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0060] Cameras are commonly found in electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, and are used to enable users to perform various functions such as daily photography and video chatting.

[0061] Figure 1 shows an example diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Taking a laptop computer as an example, generally speaking, the camera is a built-in camera installed on the border of the laptop screen and only faces a fixed direction. This approach will result in a limited shooting range of the camera and low utilization rate.

[0062] For example, as shown in (a) in Figure 1, the camera is installed at the center of the top frame of the laptop screen. When the screen is perpendicular to the keyboard, the camera is only facing one side of the keyboard. In this way, when it is necessary to shoot the environment on the opposite side, the shooting requirement cannot be met; and the screen also has black edges and the screen-to-body ratio is relatively low.

[0063] In addition, as shown in (b) and (c) in Figure 1, for desktop computers, TVs and other devices, either there is no camera and an external independent camera is required when used; or the camera is only installed in a fixed position of the device and only faces a fixed direction. This method limits the camera's shooting range and low utilization rate.

[0064] How to provide a solution to expand the shooting range of the camera and meet more shooting needs based on the limited number of camera configurations has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0065] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device; in the embodiment of the present application, by changing the camera and the electronic device body included in the electronic device into a separate structure, modifying the circuit on the camera side or the circuit on the electronic device body side, so that when the camera switches direction, the interface connected to the electronic device body can be reused, so that the camera can be switched in direction on the electronic device body, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera, meeting more shooting needs, and at the same time increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0066] Optionally, in addition to forward and reverse switching, in an embodiment of the present application, the camera can also achieve multi-angle direction switching on the electronic device body, thereby greatly expanding the shooting range of the camera and meeting more shooting needs.

[0067] For example, assuming that the field of view of a camera in the prior art is 0-180°, the embodiments of the present application enable the camera to switch forward and reverse on the electronic device body, thereby expanding the field of view of the camera to 0-180° and 180-360°. It can be seen that the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application expands the camera's field of view compared to the prior art.

[0068] For example, assuming that the field of view of a camera in the prior art is 0-90°, the embodiments of the present application enable the camera to switch directions at multiple angles on the electronic device body, thereby enabling the camera to have a field of view of 0-90°, 90-180°, 180-270°, and 270-360°. It can be seen that the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application expands the camera's field of view compared to the prior art.

[0069] The following describes in detail the structure of the electronic device and applicable shooting scenarios provided by the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with Figures 3 to 7. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0070] For example, the electronic device 100 involved in the embodiments of the present application may be, in addition to a laptop computer, a mobile phone, a smart screen, a tablet computer, a wearable electronic device, an in-vehicle electronic device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a projector, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the electronic device 100.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2, the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a main body 101 and a switchable camera 193; as shown in Figure 3, it is a hardware structure diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is introduced in detail below.

[0072] As shown in FIG3 , the electronic device 100 may include a main body 101 and a reversible camera 193 ; the main body 101 of the electronic device may include a processor (CPU) 110 , an external memory interface 120 , an internal memory 121 , a universal serial bus (USB) interface 130 , a charging management module 140 , a power management module 141 , a battery 142 , an antenna 1 , an antenna 2 , a mobile communication module 150 , a wireless communication module 160 , an audio module 170 , a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180 , a button 190 , a motor 191 , an indicator 192 , a display 194 , and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface 195 . The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor, a gyroscope sensor, an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, a bone conduction sensor, and the like.

[0073] It should be noted that the structure shown in FIG3 does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than those shown in FIG3, or the electronic device 100 may include a combination of some of the components shown in FIG3, or the electronic device 100 may include sub-components of some of the components shown in FIG3. The components shown in FIG3 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0074] Exemplarily, the processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include at least one of the following processing units: an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and a neural-network processing unit (NPU). Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated devices. The controller may generate an operation control signal based on the instruction opcode and the timing signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and execution.

[0075] Processor 110 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in processor 110 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 110. If processor 110 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 110 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

[0076] In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. For example, the processor 110 may include at least one of the following interfaces: an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an inter-integrated circuit sound (I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, a SIM interface, and a USB interface.

[0077] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the processor 110 in the body 101 of the electronic device 100 is connected to the reversible camera 193 for data transmission, power transmission, etc. with the reversible camera 193. For example, the processor 110 can receive image signals captured by the reversible camera 193 and provide power to the reversible camera 193.

[0078] 3 is merely a schematic illustration and does not limit the connection relationship between the modules in the body 101 of the electronic device 100. Alternatively, the modules in the body 101 of the electronic device 100 may adopt a combination of the various connection methods described in the above embodiments.

[0079] The wireless communication function of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be implemented through components such as the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, the modem processor, and the baseband processor.

[0080] Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve antenna utilization. For example, antenna 1 can be reused as a diversity antenna for a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antennas can be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

[0081] The main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can implement display functions through a GPU, display screen 194, and an application processor. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing and is connected to the display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs, which execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

[0082] Display screen 194 may be used to display images or videos.

[0083] Optionally, the display screen 194 can be used to display images or videos. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can use a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a mini light-emitting diode (Mini LED), a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), a micro OLED, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED). In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include one or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than one.

[0084] Exemplarily, the digital signal processor is used to process digital signals, and can process not only digital image signals but also other digital signals. For example, when the electronic device 100 selects a frequency point, the digital signal processor is used to perform Fourier transform on the frequency point energy.

[0085] For example, a video codec is used to compress or decompress digital video. The electronic device 100 may support one or more video codecs. Thus, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can play or record videos in a variety of encoding formats, such as Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, and MPEG4.

[0086] The above describes in detail the structure of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 . The following describes the internal structure of the reversible camera 193 and the connection method between the main body 101 and the reversible camera 193 .

[0087] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the reversible camera 193 are of a separate structure, that is, the reversible camera 193 is not a built-in camera and can be separated from the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 or connected to the main body 101. The specific connection method can be set as needed, and this application does not limit this.

[0088] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, when the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 is connected to the switchable camera 193, the electronic device 100 can realize the shooting function through the switchable camera 193, the video codec, GPU, display screen 194 and application processor set in the main body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0089] For example, in this embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. It can be triggered to turn on via an application program command, enabling a camera function, such as capturing an image of any scene. In this embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 may include a housing 193A, which includes an imaging lens, a filter, a photosensitive element (also referred to as an image sensor), and an ISP, among other imaging components 193B.

[0090] Exemplarily, the light emitted or reflected by the object enters the imaging lens, passes through the filter, and finally converges on the photosensitive element. The imaging lens is mainly used to converge the light emitted or reflected by all objects in the shooting angle (which can also be called the scene to be shot, the target scene, or can also be understood as the scene image that the user expects to shoot) to form an image; the filter is mainly used to filter out excess light waves in the light (for example, light waves other than visible light, such as infrared); the photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element is mainly used to perform photoelectric conversion on the received light signal, convert it into an electrical signal, and then transmit the electrical signal to the ISP to convert it into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP in the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard format such as RGB, YUV, etc.

[0091] Exemplarily, the ISP is used to process data fed back by the photosensitive element. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, and light is transmitted to the photosensitive element through the imaging lens. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converts it into an image visible to the naked eye. The ISP can perform algorithmic optimization on the noise, brightness, and color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as the exposure and color temperature of the shooting scene. In the embodiment of the present application, the ISP is set in the reversible camera 193. In addition, the clock signal and the raw data signal are transmitted between the photosensitive element and the ISP based on the MIPI protocol.

[0092] Optionally, the imaging lens may include at least one of a standard lens, a wide-angle lens, a fisheye lens, a telephoto lens, a macro lens, a depth-of-field lens, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0093] Optionally, a laser focus module and / or a fill light may also be provided in the reversible camera 193 .

[0094] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may include the at least one reversible camera 193 mentioned above. Of course, it may also include other cameras such as a built-in camera, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0095] Optionally, when the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 is disconnected from the switchable camera 193 , a storage slot may be provided on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 for storing the switchable camera 193 .

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, combined with the structure of the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 described above, when the user needs to use the switchable camera 193 for shooting, the switchable camera 193 can be connected to the main body 101, and the switchable camera 193 can be called to shoot after turning on the power; when it is necessary to switch the shooting direction or the field of view, the switchable camera 193 can be unplugged from the main body 101. After switching the direction of the switchable camera 193, it can be reconnected to the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 to enable it again; and when the switchable camera 193 is not needed, the main body 101 and the switchable camera 193 can be disconnected or the switchable camera 193 can be unplugged from the main body 101.

[0097] Based on the above working method, in the embodiment of the present application, the switchable camera 193 and the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected using a connector.

[0098] For example, the camera and the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by plugging and unplugging, or by contacting a connector and an interface. For example, the connector and the interface can be a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface. Of course, other types of interfaces can also be used for connection, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0099] Taking the laptop computer shown in FIG2 as an example, the reversible camera 193 and the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by contacting a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface, that is, the connector includes a Pogo Pin connector and a Pogo Pin interface.

[0100] For example, a Pogo Pin connector can be provided on one side of the reversible camera 193, and a Pogo Pin interface can be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100. It should be noted that a Pogo Pin connector is a spring-loaded probe formed by three basic components: a needle shaft, a spring, and a needle tube; a Pogo Pin interface refers to a connector that matches the Pogo Pin connector; and Pogo Pin interfaces and Pogo Pin connectors are typically provided in pairs of the same number. In the embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 and the body 101 can be connected by aligning the provided Pogo Pin interface and Pogo Pin connector, thereby enabling functions such as data communication and power transmission between the two.

[0101] FIG4 shows a schematic diagram of a switchable camera 193 including a Pogo Pin connector.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the reversible camera 193 includes a housing 193A and a camera component 193B disposed within the housing 193A. The imaging lens within the camera component 193B can converge light for imaging through a through-hole disposed on a side of the housing 193A. The reversible camera 193 also includes a Pogo Pin connector 193C. One side of the Pogo Pin connector 193C is connected to the ISP within the camera component 193B, and the other side of the Pogo Pin connector 193C can pass through a through-hole disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 193A to align with a Pogo Pin interface disposed on the body 101 of the electronic device 100, thereby achieving electrical connection between the reversible camera 193 and the body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the number and arrangement of the Pogo Pin connectors 193C in the reversible camera 193 can be set as needed, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. Accordingly, the number and arrangement of the Pogo Pin interfaces provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100 must correspond to the Pogo Pin connectors 193C provided in the reversible camera 193. Both the Pogo Pin connectors 193C and the Pogo Pin interfaces can be referred to as PIN pins.

[0104] Optionally, in order to achieve better connection, a magnetic connector 193D can be provided on the inner side of the bottom surface of the shell 193A in the reversible camera 193; or, the bottom surface of the shell 193A in the reversible camera 193 or the frame material of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can also be a magnetic material.

[0105] Exemplarily, the magnetic connector 193D may be a magnet or a magnetic material that can be attracted by a magnet, and a corresponding magnetic connector may be provided on the body 101 of the corresponding electronic device 100 .

[0106] For example, when the magnetic connector 193D is a magnet, a magnet or magnetic material may be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100. For another example, when the magnetic connector 193D is a magnetic material, a magnet may be provided on the body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0107] For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4 , a magnet may be provided on the inner side of the lower surface of the shell 193A in the reversible camera 193 , and correspondingly, a magnetic attraction member may be provided on the inner side of the upper frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 .

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, by providing a magnetic connector or setting the frame material of the shell and the main body 101 to a magnetic material, the reversible camera 193 and the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be connected by a simple magnetic attraction method, and has the characteristics of active adsorption and connection when close. Moreover, it is relatively stable after connection and can be used in scenes with relatively bumpy environments.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, when the reversible camera 193 is connected to the main body 101 and faces the keyboard side, the reversible camera 193 can be called in the forward mode; when the reversible camera 193 is connected to the main body 101 and faces away from the keyboard side, the reversible camera 193 can be called in the reverse mode.

[0110] It should be understood that in forward mode and reverse mode, the number and position of the Pogo Pin connectors set relative to the reversible camera 193 have not changed, but relative to the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, the order of the connectors on the reversible camera 193 used to connect to the Pogo Pin interface on the main body 101 has switched.

[0111] For example, in the forward mode, the 1st to Nth Pogo Pin connectors on the reversible camera 193 are aligned and connected with the 1st to Nth Pogo Pin interfaces on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 respectively; in the reverse mode, the Nth to 1st Pogo Pin connectors on the reversible camera 193 are aligned and connected with the 1st to Nth Pogo Pin interfaces on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 respectively; compared with the two modes, the correspondence between the Pogo Pin connectors and the Pogo Pin interfaces has changed.

[0112] For example, Figure 5 illustrates a scene captured by the reversible camera 193 in forward-facing mode, as provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5 , when the camera is in forward-facing mode on the main body 101, the reversible camera 193 can be activated in response to a user's operation to capture the user's own image. This scenario is suitable for online interviews, video chats, and the like.

[0113] For example, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a scene captured by the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode, as provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, when the camera is in reverse mode on the body 101, in response to a user's operation, the reversible camera 193 is turned on, allowing the user to capture the scene directly opposite them. This scenario is suitable for online teaching, live streaming, and more.

[0114] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, a Pogo Pin interface can be directly added to the frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, for alignment and connection with the Pogo Pin connector included in the reversible camera 193. In this way, the reversible camera 193 is in a raised state relative to the body 101 after connection.

[0115] Alternatively, the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 may further add a groove at the frame, and add a Pogo Pin interface in the groove for aligning and connecting with the Pogo Pin connector included in the reversible camera 193; in this way, the reversible camera 193 after connection will be located in the groove set.

[0116] Optionally, the Pogo Pin interface added to the body 101 of the electronic device 100 can be set on any frame of the electronic device 100, for example, it can be added to the upper frame or the side frame of the body 101 of the electronic device 100.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, on the premise of only the number of camera configurations, taking into account the user's needs for shooting forward-facing blackboard writing, text, and human environments, the built-in camera included in the electronic device is modified into a detachable switchable camera that can be connected to the main body of the electronic device, so that the switchable camera can be switched in different directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the camera's shooting range, meeting more shooting needs, and at the same time increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

[0118] In order to enable the reversible camera to switch to different directions on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, in the embodiment of the present application, the definition and circuit of the connector on the reversible camera side or the definition and circuit of the connector on the main body 101 side of the electronic device 100 can be modified so that after the reversible camera is switched forward, the connector on the main body 101 and the connector with the same definition on the reversible camera side can be aligned and connected. Based on this idea, the various circuits provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with Figures 7 to 17.

[0119] Implementation method 1

[0120] FIG7 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0121] As shown in Figure 7, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a detachable main body 101 and a switchable camera; the main body 101 is aligned and connected through a first group of connecting parts and a second group of connecting parts set on the switchable camera to perform data transmission and power supply; the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts each include multiple connecting parts, and at least some of the connecting parts have the same function when aligned and connected; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship, the main body 101 is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a first direction; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship, the main body 101 is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a second direction.

[0122] Specifically, the CPU in the main body 101 and the ISP in the reversible camera 193 are connected by aligning the first set of connectors with the second set of connectors to achieve data transmission and power supply.

[0123] Optionally, the connectors in the first group of connectors are Pogo pin interfaces, and the connectors in the second group of connectors are Pogo pin connectors.

[0124] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is at least 7, the functions of the multiple connectors included in the first group of connectors and / or the second group of connectors are distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner.

[0125] It should be understood that when the processor 110 on the main body 101 side and the reversible camera 193 perform data communication and power transmission according to the USB 2.0 protocol, at least four ports with different definitions are required, namely the positive power supply terminal, the ground terminal (or the negative power supply terminal), the positive data terminal, and the negative data terminal. For example, the voltage of the positive power supply terminal can be 3.3V.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present application, data communication and circuit transmission can also be carried out between the processor on the main body 101 side and the reversible camera 193 based on protocols such as USB1.0, USB3.0, Type-C protocol, etc. The ports defined by each protocol can be set as needed, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0127] Optionally, when the first group of connectors includes seven connectors, the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in the same positional arrangement and are arranged at equal intervals in at least one of an I-shape (as shown in (a) of FIG. 16 ), a honeycomb shape (as shown in (b) of FIG. 16 ), a crisscross shape (as shown in (c) of FIG. 16 ), and a straight line (as shown in (d) of FIG. 16 ). In this embodiment of the present application, when the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in a straight line, the thickness of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the reversible camera 193 can be designed to be thinner.

[0128] Exemplarily, taking (a), (b), (c) and (d) in FIG. 16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, or in other words, the first direction and the second direction differ by 180°.

[0129] For example, taking (b) in FIG16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction may differ by 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, or 300°. At this time, a third switching circuit may be added to the side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100 or the side of the reversible camera 193 to switch the function of the connector in the non-center position of the first or second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship. For the introduction of the third switching circuit, please refer to the subsequent introduction of the second switching circuit, which will not be repeated here.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first and second sets of connectors are arranged as shown in FIG16( b ), the reversible camera 193 can be switched to more directions. Optionally, the electronic device 100 can also be provided with a rotation controller to control the reversible camera to automatically rotate to achieve the above-mentioned switching of different directions.

[0131] The following example illustrates the alignment and connection of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the reversible camera 193 via seven Pogo pin interfaces and seven Pogo pin connectors. The seven Pogo pin interfaces are located on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, and the seven Pogo pin connectors are located on the reversible camera 193. Furthermore, the seven Pogo pin interfaces are arranged in a straight line, and accordingly, the seven Pogo pin connectors are also arranged in a straight line.

[0132] Optionally, in one implementation, on the body 101 side of the electronic device 100, four of the seven Pogo pin interfaces are defined as the power supply positive electrode VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, and the data negative electrode D-; and on the side of the reversible camera 193, the definitions of the seven Pogo pin connectors also include the power supply positive electrode VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, and the data negative electrode D-, and the definitions of the seven Pogo pin connectors are symmetrically distributed. In addition, the order of the definitions of the four Pogo pin interfaces is the same as the order of the definitions of the four non-repeated Pogo pin connectors among the seven Pogo pin connectors.

[0133] Exemplarily, on one side of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, the Pogo pin interface at the middle position of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 3 Pogo pin interfaces on the adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions, or, the Pogo pin interface at the middle position of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 3 Pogo pin interfaces on the other adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions. The specific definition order can be set as needed.

[0134] For example, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors can be defined as any one of the power positive pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive pole D+, and the data negative pole D-. The definitions of the other 6 Pogo pin connectors are different from those of the Pogo pin connector at the middle position and are symmetrically distributed. The specific definition order can be set as needed.

[0135] Table 1 below illustrates the definition order of the seven Pogo pin connectors.

[0136] Table 1

[0137] It should be understood that the definition order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors may include other orders besides the 4 methods included in Table 1 above, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0138] Example 1

[0139] FIG8 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0140] In one embodiment, on one side of the body 101 of the electronic device 100, seven Pogo pin interfaces are arranged along a first sorting direction. The first four Pogo pin interfaces are defined as ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, and power positive electrode VCC, respectively, for one-to-one connection with Pogo pin connectors with the same definitions. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin interface is connected to the CPU in the body 101. The Pogo pin interface defined as power positive electrode VCC is the fourth Pogo pin interface, located in the middle. The other ends of the remaining three Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU in the body 101 and are undefined. For example, the first sorting direction is the direction from the first Pogo pin interface to the seventh Pogo pin interface.

[0141] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, taking the first set of definitions in Table 1 as an example, the corresponding definitions of the seven Pogo pin connectors along the first sorting direction are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, data negative electrode D-, data positive electrode D+, and ground terminal GND. The other end of each Pogo pin connector is respectively connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193. The ground terminal GND does not need to be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0142] It should be understood that when multiple Pogo pin connectors of the same definition are connected to the port on the ISP, they can be connected in parallel to the same point and then connected to the port on the ISP.

[0143] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is aligned and connected to the body 101 through the 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG8 ) and the 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as B1 to B7 shown in (a) of FIG8 ) mentioned above, it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A4 shown in (a) of FIG8 ) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as B1 to B4 shown in (a) of FIG8 ) being aligned and connected one by one, which can form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and can form a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body 101 to the reversible camera 193; However, the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A5 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG8 ) and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors After the pin connectors (such as B5 to B7 shown in (a) of Figure 8) are aligned and connected one by one, since the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors are actually equivalent to not realizing any functions.

[0144] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, after the order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors is reversed, along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the 7 Pogo pin connectors are still the ground terminal GND, data positive pole D+, data negative pole D-, power supply positive pole VCC, data negative pole D-, data positive pole D+, and ground terminal GND.

[0145] In this way, when the reversible camera 193 in the reverse mode is aligned and connected to the body 101 through the above-mentioned 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A7 shown in (b) of FIG8 ) and the 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as B7 to B1 shown in (b) of FIG8 ), it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A4 shown in (b) of FIG8 ) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as B7 to B4 shown in (b) of FIG8 ) being aligned and connected one by one, a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the body 101 to the reversible camera 193; however, after the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A5 to A7 shown in (b) of FIG8 ) and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as B3 to B1 shown in (b) of FIG8 ) are aligned and connected one by one, Since the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the CPU and are not defined, these interfaces and connectors actually do not implement any functions.

[0146] It should be noted that the positional correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) of FIG8 is the first correspondence, and the positional correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (b) of FIG8 is the second correspondence.

[0147] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors is at least 7, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on one side of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the definition of the Pogo pin connector on one side of the reversible camera 193, the reversible camera 193 can be put into forward mode and reverse mode, and the Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors with the same functions on the main body 101 and the reversible camera 193 can be aligned and connected, so that the reversible camera 193 can switch between the front and rear directions on the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 for shooting, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0148] Optionally, in another implementation, on the body 101 side of the electronic device 100, the definitions of the seven Pogo pin interfaces include a positive power supply electrode VCC, a ground terminal GND, a positive data electrode D+, and a negative data electrode D-, and the definitions of the seven Pogo pin interfaces are symmetrically distributed. On the body 101 side of the electronic device 100, the definitions corresponding to four of the seven Pogo pin interfaces also include a positive power supply electrode VCC, a ground terminal GND, a positive data electrode D+, and a negative data electrode D-. In addition, the order of the definitions of the four Pogo pin connectors is the same as the order of the definitions of the four Pogo pin interfaces with non-overlapping functions among the seven Pogo pin interfaces.

[0149] For example, on one side of the main body 101 of the electronic device 100, the definition of the Pogo pin interface at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin interfaces can be any one of the power positive pole VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive pole D+, and the data negative pole D-. The definitions of the other 6 Pogo pin connectors are different from the definition of the Pogo pin connector at the middle position and are symmetrically distributed.

[0150] For example, on one side of the switchable camera 193, the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors and the 3 Pogo pin connectors on the adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions, or the Pogo pin connector at the middle position among the 7 Pogo pin connectors and the 3 Pogo pin connectors on the other adjacent side respectively have the above four definitions.

[0151] Example 2

[0152] FIG9 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0153] In one embodiment, on one side of the main body of the electronic device 100, 7 Pogo pin interfaces are arranged along a first sorting direction, and the corresponding definitions of the 7 Pogo pin interfaces are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, the power positive electrode VCC, the data negative electrode D-, the data positive electrode D+, and the ground terminal GND, which are used to align one-to-one with the Pogo pin connectors of the same definition, and the other end of each Pogo pin interface is respectively connected to the CPU in the main body.

[0154] It should be understood that when multiple Pogo pin connectors with the same definition are connected to ports on the CPU, they can be connected in parallel to the same point and then connected to the ports on the CPU.

[0155] For example, the first sorting direction is from the 1st Pogo pin interface to the 7th Pogo pin interface.

[0156] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, using the first set of definitions in Table 1 as an example, the seven Pogo pin interfaces are arranged in the first sorting direction. The definitions corresponding to the first four Pogo pin connectors are, respectively, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, and power positive electrode VCC. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin connector is connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193. The Pogo pin interface defined as the power positive electrode VCC is the fourth Pogo pin interface, located in the middle. The other ends of the remaining three Pogo pin interfaces are not connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193 and are undefined. The ground terminal GND may not be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0157] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is aligned and connected to the body 101 through the 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG9 ) and the 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as B1 to B7 shown in (a) of FIG9 ), it is equivalent to the 1st to 4th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A4 shown in (a) of FIG9 ) and the 1st to 4th Pogo pin connectors (such as B1 to B4 shown in (a) of FIG9 ) being aligned and connected one by one, which can form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body 101; and can form a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body to the reversible camera 193; However, after the 5th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A5 to A7 shown in (a) of FIG9 ) and the 5th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as B5 to B7 shown in (a) of FIG9 ) are aligned and connected one by one, due to the 5th to 7th Pogo The pin connectors are not connected to the ISP and are not defined, so these interfaces and connectors do not actually implement any functions.

[0158] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the 7 Pogo pin connectors is reversed. Along the first sorting direction, the first 3 of the 7 Pogo pin connectors are undefined, and the last 4 are defined as the power positive pole VCC, the data negative pole D-, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND, respectively. In this way, when the reversible camera 193 in the reverse mode is aligned and connected to the body through the above-mentioned 7 Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A7 shown in (b) of FIG9 ) and the 7 Pogo pin connectors (such as B7 to B1 shown in (b) of FIG9 ), it is equivalent to the 4th to 7th Pogo pin interfaces (such as A4 to A7 shown in (b) of FIG9 ) and the 4th to 7th Pogo pin connectors (such as B4 to B7 shown in (b) of FIG9 ) being aligned and connected one by one, which can form a data transmission circuit to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the body; and can form a power supply circuit to realize power supply from the body to the reversible camera 193; However, after the 1st to 3rd Pogo pin interfaces (such as A1 to A3 shown in (b) of FIG9 ) and the 1st to 3rd Pogo pin connectors (such as B7 to B5 shown in (b) of FIG9 ) are aligned and connected one by one, due to the 1st to 3rd Pogo The pin connectors are not connected to the ISP and are not defined, so these interfaces and connectors do not actually implement any functions.

[0159] It should be noted that the positional correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) of FIG9 is the first correspondence, and the positional correspondence between the 7 Pogo pin interfaces and the 7 Pogo pin connectors shown in (b) of FIG9 is the second correspondence.

[0160] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors is at least 7, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device and the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the side of the reversible camera, the reversible camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the Pogo pin interfaces and Pogo pin connectors with the same functions on the main body and the reversible camera can be aligned and connected, so that the reversible camera can switch between the front and back directions on the electronic device body for shooting, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0162] FIG10 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0163] As shown in Figure 10, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a detachable main body 101 and a switchable camera 193; the main body is aligned and connected through a first group of connecting parts and a second group of connecting parts set on the switchable camera 193 to perform data transmission and power supply; the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts each include multiple connecting parts, and at least some of the connecting parts have the same function when aligned and connected; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship, the main body is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a first direction; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship, the main body is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a second direction.

[0164] Specifically, the CPU in the main body 101 and the ISP in the reversible camera 193 are connected by aligning the first set of connectors with the second set of connectors to achieve data transmission and power supply.

[0165] Optionally, the connectors in the first group of connectors are Pogo pin interfaces, and the connectors in the second group of connectors are Pogo pin connectors.

[0166] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is 5, the electronic device 100 also includes a first switching circuit; when the first switching circuit is arranged in the switchable camera 193, the second group of connectors is connected to the ISP included in the switchable camera 193 through the first switching circuit; the first switching circuit is used to switch the function of the connector at a non-center position in the second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship; when the first switching circuit is arranged in the body of the electronic device 100, the first group of connectors is connected to the processor included in the body through the first switching circuit; the first switching circuit is used to switch the function of the connector at a non-center position in the first group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship.

[0167] Optionally, when the first group of connectors includes five connectors, the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in the same positional arrangement and are arranged at equal intervals in at least one of an X-shape (as shown in FIG. 16(e)), a 'M' shape (as shown in FIG. 16(f)), and a straight line (as shown in FIG. 16(g)). In this embodiment of the present application, when the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in a straight line, the thickness of the electronic device 100 and the reversible camera 193 can be designed to be thinner.

[0168] Exemplarily, taking (e), (f) and (g) in FIG. 16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, or in other words, the first direction and the second direction differ by 180°.

[0169] For example, taking (e) and (f) in FIG. 16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction may differ by 90°, 180°, or 270°. In this case, a fourth switching circuit may be added to the body side of the electronic device 100 or the side of the reversible camera 193 to switch the function of the connector in the non-center position of the first or second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship. For the introduction of the fourth switching circuit, please refer to the subsequent introduction of the second switching circuit, which will not be repeated here.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first set of connectors and the second set of connectors are arranged as shown in (e) or (f) in Figure 16, the switchable camera 193 can switch to more directions. Optionally, the electronic device 100 can also be provided with a rotation controller to control the switchable camera 193 to automatically rotate to achieve the above-mentioned switching of different directions.

[0171] The following example illustrates the connection between the main body 101 of the electronic device 100 and the reversible camera 193 via five Pogo pin interfaces and five Pogo pin connectors. The five Pogo pin interfaces are located on the main body of the electronic device 100, and the five Pogo pin connectors are located on the reversible camera 193. Furthermore, the five Pogo pin interfaces are arranged in a straight line, and accordingly, the five Pogo pin connectors are also arranged in a straight line.

[0172] Optionally, in one implementation, on the main body side of the electronic device 100, four of the five Pogo pin interfaces are defined as the power supply positive electrode VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, and the data negative electrode D-. The other Pogo pin interface can be defined as any one of the power supply positive electrode VCC, the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, and the data negative electrode D-. This embodiment of the application does not impose any limitation on this. On the side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the definitions of the five Pogo pin connectors is the same as the order of the definitions of the five Pogo pin interfaces.

[0173] Exemplarily, when the repeatedly defined interface in the five Pogo pin interfaces is the positive power pole VCC or the ground terminal GND, the two positive power poles VCC are symmetrically distributed, or the two ground terminals GND are symmetrically distributed, and the data positive pole D+ and the data negative pole D- are also symmetrically distributed.

[0174] Exemplarily, when the repeatedly defined interface in the five Pogo pin interfaces is the data positive electrode D+ or the data negative electrode -, the two data positive electrodes D+ are symmetrically distributed, or the two data negative electrodes D- are symmetrically distributed, and the power positive electrode VCC and the ground terminal GND are symmetrically distributed.

[0175] Table 2 below illustrates the definition order of the five Pogo pin interfaces.

[0176] Table 2

[0177] It should be understood that in addition to the eight ways included in Table 2 above, the definition order of the five Pogo pin interfaces can also be interchanged when the data positive pole D+ and the data negative pole D- are symmetrically distributed; when the power positive pole VCC and the ground terminal GND are symmetrically distributed, the definitions of the power positive pole VCC and the ground terminal GND can also be interchanged, or they can be arranged in other orders. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0178] Example 3

[0179] FIG11 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0180] In one embodiment, on the main body side of electronic device 100, taking the first set of definitions in Table 2 as an example, the definitions corresponding to the five Pogo pin interfaces along the first sorting direction are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, and ground terminal GND, respectively. These interfaces are used for one-to-one alignment and connection with Pogo pin connectors with the same definitions. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin interface is connected to the CPU in main body 101. For example, the first sorting direction is from the first Pogo pin interface to the fifth Pogo pin interface.

[0181] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, the five Pogo pin connectors on one side of the reversible camera 193 are arranged in a first direction, and their corresponding definitions are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, and ground terminal GND. The other ends of at least two of the Pogo pin connectors, defined as data positive electrode D+ and data negative electrode D-, are connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193 via a first switching circuit. The ground terminal GND and power positive electrode VCC do not necessarily need to be connected to the first switching circuit, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0182] It should be understood that the first switching circuit may include a plurality of switching switches, and the plurality of switching switches may enable switching connections between different Pogo pin connectors and the same port on the ISP.

[0183] When the reversible camera 193 in forward mode is aligned and connected to the main body through the five Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A5 shown in (a) of FIG. 11 ) and the five Pogo pin connectors (B1 to B5 shown in (a) of FIG. 11 ), a data transmission circuit can be formed to achieve data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body; and a power supply circuit can be formed to achieve power supply from the main body to the reversible camera 193. In this forward mode, the first switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data positive electrode D+ (B2 shown in (a) of FIG. 11 ) to the first port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the ISP, and can also connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data negative electrode D- (B4 shown in (a) of FIG. 11 ) to the second port corresponding to the data negative electrode D- on the ISP.

[0184] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the 5 Pogo pin connectors is reversed, and along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the 5 Pogo pin connectors are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data negative pole D-, the power positive pole VCC, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0185] When the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode is aligned and connected to the main body via the five Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A5 shown in FIG. 11(b)) and the five Pogo pin connectors (B5 to B1 shown in FIG. 11(b)), a data transmission circuit is formed to enable data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body; and a power supply circuit is formed to enable power supply from the main body to the reversible camera 193. In this reverse mode, the first switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the positive data electrode D+ (B2 shown in FIG. 11(b)) to the second port corresponding to the negative data electrode D- on the ISP, and can also connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the negative data electrode D- (B4 shown in FIG. 11(b)) to the first port corresponding to the positive data electrode D+ on the ISP. This is equivalent to multiplexing the two Pogo pin connectors originally defined as the positive data electrode D+ and the negative data electrode D-, but swapping their functions.

[0186] It should be noted that the positional correspondence between the 5 Pogo pin interfaces and the 5 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) of FIG11 is the first correspondence, and the positional correspondence between the 5 Pogo pin interfaces and the 5 Pogo pin connectors shown in (b) of FIG11 is the second correspondence.

[0187] In an embodiment of the present application, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device, the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side, and adding a first switching circuit between the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side and the ISP, the reversible camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the two Pogo pin connectors defined as the data positive pole D+ and the data negative pole D- on the reversible camera side can be reused after exchanging functions, so that the main body and the reversible camera in forward mode or reverse mode can be aligned and connected with the Pogo pin interface and Pogo pin connector with the same actual functional order, thereby enabling the reversible camera to switch between shooting in the front and back directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0189] FIG12 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0190] In one embodiment, on the main body side of electronic device 100, taking the first set of definitions in Table 2 as an example, the five Pogo pin interfaces corresponding to the definitions along the first sorting direction are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, and ground terminal GND, respectively. These interfaces are used for one-to-one alignment with Pogo pin connectors with the same definitions. The other ends of at least two Pogo pin interfaces defined as data positive electrode D+ and data negative electrode D- are connected to the CPU in main body 101 via a first switching circuit. For example, the first sorting direction is from the first Pogo pin interface to the fifth Pogo pin interface.

[0191] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, five Pogo pins are arranged along a first direction on one side of the reversible camera 193, and their corresponding definitions are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, power positive electrode VCC, and ground terminal GND. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin is connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193. The ground terminal GND may not be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0192] It should be understood that the first switching circuit may include a plurality of switching switches, and the plurality of switching switches may implement switching connections between different Pogo pin interfaces and the same port on the CPU.

[0193] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is aligned and connected to the main body through the five Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A5 shown in (a) of FIG. 12 ) and the five Pogo pin connectors (B1 to B5 shown in (a) of FIG. 12 ), a data transmission circuit can be formed to achieve data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body; and a power supply circuit can be formed to achieve power supply from the main body to the reversible camera 193. In this forward mode, the first switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data positive electrode D+ (A2 shown in (a) of FIG. 12 ) to the first port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the CPU, and can also connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data negative electrode D- (A4 shown in (a) of FIG. 11 ) to the second port corresponding to the data negative electrode D- on the CPU.

[0194] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the 5 Pogo pin connectors is reversed, and along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the 5 Pogo pin connectors are respectively the ground terminal GND, the data negative pole D-, the power positive pole VCC, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0195] When the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode is aligned and connected to the main body through the five Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A5 shown in FIG. 12(b)) and the five Pogo pin connectors (B5 to B1 shown in FIG. 12(b)), a data transmission circuit is formed to enable data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body; and a power supply circuit is formed to enable power supply from the main body to the reversible camera 193. In this reverse mode, the first switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data positive electrode D+ (A2 shown in FIG. 12(a)) to the second port corresponding to the data negative electrode D- on the CPU, and can also connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data negative electrode D- (A4 shown in FIG. 12(a)) to the first port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the CPU. This is equivalent to multiplexing the two Pogo pin interfaces originally defined as the data positive electrode D+ and the data negative electrode D-, but exchanging their functions.

[0196] It should be noted that the positional correspondence between the 5 Pogo pin interfaces and the 5 Pogo pin connectors shown in (a) of FIG12 is the first correspondence, and the positional correspondence between the 5 Pogo pin interfaces and the 5 Pogo pin connectors shown in (b) of FIG12 is the second correspondence.

[0197] In an embodiment of the present application, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device, the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side, and adding a first switching circuit between the Pogo pin interface on one side of the electronic device and the CPU, the reversible camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the two Pogo pin connectors defined as the data positive pole D+ and the data negative pole D- on the main body side can be reused after exchanging functions, so that the main body and the reversible camera in forward mode or reverse mode can be aligned and connected with the Pogo pin interface and Pogo pin connector with the same actual functional order, thereby enabling the reversible camera to switch between shooting in the front and back directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0199] FIG13 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0200] As shown in Figure 13, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a detachable main body and a switchable camera 193; the main body is aligned and connected through a first group of connecting parts and a second group of connecting parts set on the switchable camera 193 to perform data transmission and power supply; the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts each include multiple connecting parts, and at least some of the connecting parts have the same function when aligned and connected; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship, the main body is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a first direction; when the first group of connecting parts and the second group of connecting parts are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship, the main body is connected to the switchable camera 193 and the switchable camera 193 faces a second direction.

[0201] Specifically, the CPU in the main body and the ISP in the reversible camera 193 are connected by aligning the first set of connectors with the second set of connectors to achieve data transmission and power supply.

[0202] Optionally, the connectors in the first group of connectors are Pogo pin interfaces, and the connectors in the second group of connectors are Pogo pin connectors.

[0203] Optionally, when the number of connectors included in the first group of connectors is 4, the electronic device 100 also includes a second switching circuit; when the second switching circuit is set in the switchable camera 193, the second group of connectors is connected to the ISP included in the switchable camera 193 through the second switching circuit; the second switching circuit is used to switch the function of each connector in the second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship; when the second switching circuit is set in the body of the electronic device 100, the first group of connectors is connected to the processor included in the body 101 through the second switching circuit; the second switching circuit is used to switch the function of each connector in the first group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship.

[0204] Optionally, when the first group of connectors includes four connectors, the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in the same positional arrangement and are arranged at equal intervals in at least one of a rhombus shape (as shown in FIG. 16(h)) or a straight line (as shown in FIG. 16(i)). In this embodiment of the present application, when the first and second groups of connectors are arranged in a straight line, the thickness of the electronic device body 101 and the switchable camera 193 can be designed to be thinner.

[0205] Exemplarily, taking (h) and (i) in FIG. 16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, or in other words, the first direction and the second direction differ by 180°.

[0206] For example, taking (h) in Figure 16 as an example, the first direction and the second direction may differ by 90°, 180°, or 270°. In this case, a fifth switching circuit may be added to the body 101 side of the electronic device or the reversible camera 193 side to switch the function of each connector in the first or second group of connectors when the first group of connectors and the second group of connectors are aligned and connected in a first corresponding relationship and when they are aligned and connected in a second corresponding relationship. For the introduction of the fifth switching circuit, please refer to the subsequent introduction of the second switching circuit, which will not be repeated here.

[0207] In the embodiment of the present application, when both the first and second sets of connectors are arranged as shown in FIG16(h), the reversible camera 193 can be switched to more directions. Optionally, a rotation controller can be provided in the electronic device to control the automatic rotation of the reversible camera 193 to achieve the above-mentioned switching of different directions.

[0208] The following example illustrates the connection between the electronic device body 101 and the reversible camera 193 via four Pogo pin interfaces and four Pogo pin connectors. The four Pogo pin interfaces are located on the electronic device body 101, and the four Pogo pin connectors are located on the reversible camera 193. Furthermore, the four Pogo pin interfaces are arranged in a straight line, and accordingly, the four Pogo pin connectors are also arranged in a straight line.

[0209] Optionally, in one implementation, on the body 101 side of the electronic device, the four Pogo pin interfaces are defined as ground GND, data positive electrode D+, power positive electrode VCC, and data negative electrode D-. The specific order can be set as needed and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. On the side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the definitions of the four Pogo pin connectors is the same as the order of the definitions of the four Pogo pin interfaces.

[0210] Table 3 below illustrates the definition order of the four Pogo pin interfaces.

[0211] Table 3

[0212] It should be understood that the definition order of the four Pogo pin interfaces may include other orders in addition to the four methods included in Table 3 above, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any limitation on this.

[0213] Example 5

[0214] FIG14 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0215] In one embodiment, on the body 101 of the electronic device, using the first set of definitions in Table 3 as an example, the four Pogo pin interfaces along the first sorting direction correspond to the ground terminal GND, the positive data electrode D+, the negative data electrode D-, and the positive power electrode VCC, respectively, for one-to-one alignment with the Pogo pin connectors with the same definitions. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin interface is connected to the CPU in the body 101. For example, the first sorting direction is from the first Pogo pin interface to the fourth Pogo pin interface.

[0216] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the four Pogo pin connectors are arranged in the first sorting direction, and the corresponding definitions are the ground terminal GND, the data positive pole D+, the data negative pole D-, and the power positive pole VCC respectively; among which, the other ends of the four Pogo pin connectors are connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193 through the second switching circuit.

[0217] It should be understood that the second switching circuit may include a plurality of switching switches, and the plurality of switching switches may enable switching connections between different Pogo pin connectors and different ports on the ISP.

[0218] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is aligned and connected one by one with the main body 101 through the above-mentioned 4 Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A4 as shown in (a) in Figure 14) and 4 Pogo pin connectors (B1 to B4 as shown in (a) in Figure 14), a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the main body 101 to the reversible camera 193. In this forward mode, the second switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the ground terminal GND (B1 as shown in (a) of Figure 14) and the first port corresponding to the ground terminal GND on the ISP, connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data positive pole D+ (B2 as shown in (a) of Figure 14) and the second port corresponding to the data positive pole D+ on the ISP, and can also connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the power positive pole VCC (B3 as shown in (a) of Figure 14) and the third port corresponding to the power positive pole VCC on the ISP; and can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data negative pole D- (B4 as shown in (a) of Figure 14) and the fourth port corresponding to the data negative pole D- on the ISP.

[0219] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the four Pogo pin connectors is reversed. Along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the four Pogo pin connectors are respectively the data negative pole D-, the power positive pole VCC, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0220] When the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode is aligned and connected one by one with the main body 101 through the above-mentioned 4 Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A4 as shown in (b) in Figure 14) and 4 Pogo pin connectors (B4 to B1 as shown in (b) in Figure 14), a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the main body 101 to the reversible camera 193. In this reverse mode, the second switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data negative electrode D- (B4 as shown in (b) of Figure 14) to the first port corresponding to the ground terminal GND on the ISP, connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the power positive electrode VCC (B3 as shown in (b) of Figure 14) to the second port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the ISP, and can also connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the data positive electrode D+ (B2 as shown in (b) of Figure 14) to the third port corresponding to the power positive electrode VCC on the ISP, and can connect the Pogo pin connector defined as the ground terminal GND (B1 as shown in (a) of Figure 14) to the fourth port corresponding to the data negative electrode D- on the ISP. In this way, the four originally defined Pogo pin connectors are reused, but the functions are swapped in reverse order.

[0221] In an embodiment of the present application, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device, the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side, and adding a second switching circuit between the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side and the ISP, the reversible camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the four interfaces defined on the reversible camera side can be reused after exchanging functions, so that the main body and the reversible camera in forward mode or reverse mode can be aligned and connected with the Pogo pin interface and Pogo pin connector with the same actual function, thereby enabling the reversible camera to switch between shooting in the front and back directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0223] FIG15 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0224] In one embodiment, on the body 101 of the electronic device, using the first set of definitions in Table 3 as an example, the four Pogo pin interfaces along a first sorting direction correspond to the following definitions: ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, and power positive electrode VCC, respectively. These interfaces are used for one-to-one alignment with Pogo pin connectors with the same definitions. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin interface is connected to the CPU in the body 101 via a second switching circuit. For example, the first sorting direction is from the first Pogo pin interface to the fourth Pogo pin interface.

[0225] When the reversible camera 193 is in forward mode, the four Pogo pin connectors on one side of the reversible camera 193 are arranged in a first direction, and their corresponding definitions are, in order, ground terminal GND, data positive electrode D+, data negative electrode D-, and power positive electrode VCC. Furthermore, the other end of each Pogo pin connector is connected to the ISP in the reversible camera 193. The ground terminal GND does not need to be connected to the ISP, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0226] It should be understood that the second switching circuit may include a plurality of switching switches, and the plurality of switching switches may implement switching connections between different Pogo pin interfaces and the same port on the CPU.

[0227] When the reversible camera 193 in the forward mode is aligned and connected one by one with the main body 101 through the above-mentioned 4 Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A4 as shown in (a) in Figure 15) and 4 Pogo pin connectors (B1 to B4 as shown in (a) in Figure 15), a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the main body 101 to the reversible camera 193. In this forward mode, the second switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the ground terminal GND (A1 as shown in (a) in Figure 15) and the first port on the CPU corresponding to the ground terminal GND, connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data positive pole D+ (A2 as shown in (a) in Figure 15) and the second port on the CPU corresponding to the data positive pole D+, and can also connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the power positive pole VCC (A3 as shown in (a) in Figure 15) and the third port on the CPU corresponding to the power positive pole VCC; and can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data negative pole D- (A4 as shown in (a) in Figure 15) and the fourth port on the CPU corresponding to the data negative pole D-.

[0228] When the reversible camera 193 is in reverse mode, on one side of the reversible camera 193, the order of the four Pogo pin connectors is reversed, and along the first sorting direction, the corresponding definitions of the four Pogo pin connectors are respectively the data negative pole D-, the power positive pole VCC, the data positive pole D+, and the ground terminal GND.

[0229] When the reversible camera 193 in reverse mode is aligned and connected one by one with the main body 101 through the above-mentioned 4 Pogo pin interfaces (A1 to A4 as shown in (b) in Figure 15) and 4 Pogo pin connectors (B4 to B1 as shown in (b) in Figure 15), a data transmission circuit can be formed to realize data transmission from the reversible camera 193 to the main body 101; and a power supply circuit can be formed to realize power supply from the main body 101 to the reversible camera 193. In this reverse mode, the second switching circuit can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data negative electrode D- (A4 as shown in (b) of Figure 15) to the first port corresponding to the ground terminal GND on the CPU, connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the power positive electrode VCC (A3 as shown in (b) of Figure 15) to the second port corresponding to the data positive electrode D+ on the CPU, and can also connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the data positive electrode D+ (A2 as shown in (b) of Figure 15) to the third port corresponding to the power positive electrode VCC on the CPU, and can connect the Pogo pin interface defined as the ground terminal GND (A1 as shown in (a) of Figure 15) to the fourth port corresponding to the data negative electrode D- on the CPU. In this way, the four originally defined Pogo pin interfaces are reused, but the functions are swapped in reverse order.

[0230] In an embodiment of the present application, by modifying the definition of the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device, the definition of the Pogo pin connector on the reversible camera side, and adding a second switching circuit between the Pogo pin interface on the main body side of the electronic device and the CPU, the reversible camera can be placed in forward mode and reverse mode, and the four interfaces defined on the reversible camera side can be reused after exchanging functions, so that the main body and the reversible camera in forward mode or reverse mode can be aligned and connected with the Pogo pin interface and Pogo pin connector with the same actual function, thereby enabling the reversible camera to switch between shooting in the front and back directions on the main body of the electronic device, thereby expanding the shooting range and meeting more shooting needs.

[0231] Based on the above examples, in implementation method 1, the number of pins is large, the hardware space required is large, and the cost is relatively high. In addition, due to the large number of pins, the snap-on rebound force and the required magnetic attraction force are also greater, but no additional components are required. In implementation methods 2 and 3, as the number of pins decreases, the cost is reduced, and the required magnetic attraction force can be reduced, but a data selector, namely the first switching circuit or the second switching circuit mentioned above, is required, which requires relatively more components. Each implementation method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected and configured as needed. This application does not limit this.

[0232] In addition, FIG17 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0233] The electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application may include a semi-detachable body 101 and a reversible camera 193. The upper frame of the body 101 may be provided with a groove, and the reversible camera 193 is disposed in the groove and connected to the left and right groove walls by a rotation axis. In this way, as shown in Figures 17(a) and 17(b), the reversible camera 193 can be switched between forward and reverse directions by rotating about the rotation axis.

[0234] With the rotation axis as the axis of symmetry, two groups of second connecting parts are also provided on the reversible camera 193. The two groups of second connecting parts include the same number of Pogo pin connectors, and the definitions of the Pogo pin connectors at the upper and lower symmetrical positions are the same.

[0235] Optionally, the number of the two second groups of connecting members may both be 7, 5 or 4. FIG17 only illustrates 7 connecting members as an example.

[0236] When the processor in the body 101 of the electronic device and the Pogo pin connector perform data transmission and power transmission according to the USB2.0 protocol, the two sets of second groups of connectors both include connectors defined as the ground terminal GND, the data positive electrode D+, the data negative electrode D-, and the power positive electrode VCC.

[0237] In the embodiment of the present application, under the premise of only the number of camera configurations, by adding a rotating axis and connecting parts for the reversible camera, the first group of connecting parts on the main body of the electronic device can be aligned and connected with the second group of connecting parts of a different group on the reversible camera, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera and meeting more shooting needs.

[0238] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more" refers to two or more.

For example, A and / or B can represent the existence of A alone, the existence of A and B at the same time, and the existence of B alone. Among them, A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" and similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b and c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c or a and b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.
