Description

Electronic device, peripheral device, terminal system and status detection method

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on December 27, 2023, with application number 202311831772.5 and invention name “An electronic device, peripheral device, terminal system and status detection method”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of terminal equipment, and in particular to an electronic device, a peripheral device, a terminal system, and a status detection method. Background Art

[0003] With the continuous development of electronic technology, laptop computers have become popular due to their compactness and portability, and have been widely used in people's daily lives. Laptop computers are usually equipped with cameras as auxiliary tools for communication methods such as video chat.

[0004] Existing laptops typically have an integrated camera above the screen, which captures the user in front of the screen. However, these cameras cannot be moved during recording and can only capture the user in front of the screen. When capturing footage behind the screen, such as in interviews, an additional camera is required, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides an electronic device, a peripheral device, a terminal system and a status detection method to solve the problem that existing cameras can only capture the user in front of the screen but cannot capture the image behind the screen.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising: a first body and an electrical connector. The first body includes a first frame and a display screen, wherein the first frame surrounds the outer edge of the display screen, and the first frame extends in a direction different from the direction of extension of the display screen. The electrical connector is disposed on the first frame; the electrical connector includes a plurality of first terminals exposed in the first frame; the electrical connector is configured to detachably connect to an external device, electrically connecting the plurality of first terminals to a plurality of second terminals of the external device.

[0008] In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first frame surrounds the outer edge of the display screen, and the extension direction of the first frame is different from the extension direction of the display screen. The electrical connector is located in the first frame, and the multiple first terminals of electrical connection are exposed in the first frame, so that the electrical connector can be detachably docked with the peripheral device. In this way, the peripheral device is located on the top of the first body, and the peripheral device can be electrically connected to the electrical connector in a forward or reverse manner to adapt to different application scenarios and improve user experience. At the same time, the peripheral device does not need to be built into the electronic device, and the peripheral device does not take up space, which can meet the requirements of the full screen and narrow black border of the electronic device.

[0009] In some implementations, a mounting groove is provided on the first frame; the plurality of first terminals are exposed within the mounting groove; and the mounting groove is configured to allow at least a portion of the peripheral device to be detachably inserted into the mounting groove, thereby electrically connecting the plurality of second terminals of the peripheral device to the plurality of first terminals of the electrical connector. In this manner, the mounting groove can serve as a mounting and positioning mechanism, restricting movement of the peripheral device in various directions and improving the stability of the peripheral device and the electrical connector.

[0010] In some implementations, the plurality of first terminals are equally spaced along the length of the first frame; and the plurality of second terminals are equally spaced along the length of the peripheral device, corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of first terminals. The terminal definitions of the plurality of first terminals are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. This allows the peripheral device to be electrically connected to the electronic device in either a forward-mounted or reverse-mounted manner, thereby meeting different usage requirements and improving the user experience.

[0011] In some implementations, the first body further includes: at least one first magnetic body; the at least one first magnetic body is located inside the first frame and adjacent to the electrical connector. Thus, the first magnetic body is used to attract the peripheral device, thereby improving the stability of the peripheral device and the first body.

[0012] In some implementations, the inner surface of the first frame includes at least one first receiving groove; the at least one first receiving groove is adjacent to the mounting groove; and the at least one first magnetic body is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence within the at least one first receiving groove. Thus, by utilizing the first receiving groove to receive the first magnetic body, the first magnetic body can be prevented from occupying the interior space of the first body and the stability of the first magnetic body and the first frame can be improved.

[0013] Some implementations further include: a first sensing device located inside the first frame and adjacent to at least one first magnetic body; the first sensing device is configured to detect whether the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector. This allows for real-time detection of the peripheral device's status, providing a user with a notification message to prevent loss of the peripheral device.

[0014] In some implementations, the electrical connector further includes a plurality of cables, and the plurality of cables are connected to the plurality of first terminals; the first body includes a first shell, the first shell includes a shell body and a first frame, the shell body is arranged on the back of the display screen, and the first frame surrounds the outer edge of the shell body; the shell body includes a first shell surface, the first shell surface faces the display screen; the first shell surface includes a second storage groove, the second storage groove is adjacent to the installation groove, and the second storage groove is configured to provide routing space for multiple cables. In this way, the routing direction in the electrical connector can be changed, so that the cable outlet position is away from the display screen, avoiding the cable outlet position hindering the extension of the display screen. The cable outlet position avoids the display screen, so that the display screen can abut against the first frame, thereby reducing the size of the black border of the display screen, which can not only meet the requirements of full screen and narrow black border, but also improve the aesthetic effect.

[0015] In some implementations, the housing body further includes a second shell surface, the second shell surface facing the external environment; the depth of the second receiving groove is greater than the thickness of the housing body, so that a portion of the second shell surface adjacent to the mounting groove forms a convex structure protruding toward the external environment; and the projection area of ​​the electrical connector and the at least one first magnetic body on the second shell surface is located within the projection area of ​​the convex structure on the second shell surface. In this way, the convex structure is partially raised relative to the thickness of the first housing, which not only reduces the thickness of the remaining portion of the first housing but also maintains the overall appearance of the device.

[0016] In some implementations, the first housing further includes a third receiving slot; the second receiving slot is located within the third receiving slot, and the depth of the third receiving slot is less than the depth of the second receiving slot; and at least one first receiving slot is located within the length of the third receiving slot. In this way, the third receiving slot can be used to accommodate components located within the convex structure, preventing the components from affecting the layout of other components within the first housing.

[0017] In some implementations, the electrical connector further includes a metal dielectric and an insulating member, with the insulating member wrapped around the outside of the metal dielectric. The metal dielectric is used to form a plurality of first terminals and a plurality of cables, with the plurality of first terminals exposed from one end surface of the insulating member, and the plurality of cables exposed and extending from another end surface of the insulating member. In this way, the metal dielectric can be used for routing to achieve electrical signal transmission, and the insulating member can be used to insulate the metal dielectric from the first housing.

[0018] In some implementations, the first body further includes a buffering medium positioned between the first bezel and the display screen. At least a portion of the buffering medium extends along the back side of the first terminal and abuts the cable. This prevents direct contact between the display screen and the first bezel, which could cause localized stress concentration and thus damage the display screen.

[0019] In some implementations, the device further includes: a second body, the second body being rotatably connected to the first body; the second body including a second frame; a storage mechanism disposed within the second body; the storage mechanism being adjacent to the second frame, and having a storage hole formed in the second frame for receiving the peripheral device within the storage mechanism through the storage hole. Thus, storing the peripheral device within the storage mechanism of the second body can prevent the loss of the detachable peripheral device.

[0020] In some implementations, the second body further includes a second sensor disposed within the storage mechanism and configured to detect whether the peripheral device is stored within the storage mechanism. This allows for real-time monitoring of the peripheral device's status, providing a user with a prompt to prevent loss of the peripheral device.

[0021] In some implementations, the second body further includes at least one third magnetic body; the at least one third magnetic body is spaced apart and located on a surface of the storage mechanism facing the storage hole; the third magnetic body is configured to attract the peripheral device, thereby securing the peripheral device within the storage mechanism. In this manner, the third magnetic body and the second magnetic body of the peripheral device attract each other, thereby improving the stability of the peripheral device and the storage mechanism and preventing the peripheral device from falling out of the storage mechanism and being lost.

[0022] In some implementations, the storage mechanism includes at least one spring latch located on a surface of the storage mechanism facing the storage aperture. When the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, the at least one spring latch is configured to be located on both sides of the second terminal of the peripheral device and to elastically contact the peripheral device. Furthermore, when the peripheral device is pressed externally, the spring latch ejects the peripheral device from the storage mechanism. This facilitates removal of the peripheral device from the storage mechanism.

[0023] In a second aspect, the present application provides a peripheral device comprising: a device body, a plurality of second terminals, and at least one second magnetic body. The plurality of second terminals are located at one end of the device body and protrude relative to the device body toward the external environment; the at least one second magnetic body is located within the device body and at the end of the device body where the plurality of second terminals are provided, and the at least one second magnetic body is adjacent to the plurality of second terminals. The device body is configured to detachably dock with an electrical connector of an electronic device so that the plurality of second terminals are electrically connected to the plurality of first terminals of the electrical connector, and the second magnetic body is attracted to the first magnetic body provided within the electronic device.

[0024] The peripheral device provided in the embodiments of the present application can be detachably connected to the first body of the electronic device in either a forward or reverse mounting manner. The peripheral device is electrically connected to the electrical connector in the first body, so that the electrical connector can be used to send data generated by the peripheral device to the electronic device, enabling the electronic device to have corresponding functions and be applicable to different application scenarios, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the peripheral device exists separately from the electronic device, and the electronic device does not need to be built into the peripheral device. The peripheral device does not take up space, and the requirements of the full screen and narrow black border of the electronic device can be met.

[0025] In a third aspect, the present application provides a terminal system comprising: the electronic device provided in the first aspect, and the peripheral device provided in the second aspect. The peripheral device is electrically connected to an electrical connector of the electronic device, or the peripheral device is accommodated in a storage mechanism of the electronic device.

[0026] In the terminal system provided by the embodiment of the present application, the peripheral device is detachably connected to the electronic device. When in use, the peripheral device is electrically connected to the electrical connector of the electronic device. When not in use, the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism provided by the electronic device, which is very convenient to use.

[0027] In some implementations, the device further includes a storage compartment for storing peripheral devices, wherein the storage compartment includes a third sensor configured to detect whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage compartment. In this way, the accessories of the electronic device can be used as a storage compartment to store peripheral devices, thereby preventing the peripheral devices from being lost.

[0028] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a method for detecting the status of a peripheral device, which is applied to the electronic device method provided in the first aspect, including: the electronic device detects whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, and detects whether the peripheral device and the electrical connector are in a connected state; if the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, a first prompt message is played; if the peripheral device and the electrical connector are in a connected state, a second prompt message is played; if the peripheral device is not stored in the storage component and is not in a connected state with the electrical connector, a third prompt message is played.

[0029] The peripheral device status detection method provided in the embodiments of the present application provides peripheral device loss prevention detection logic, namely, it can detect whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism and whether the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector. It can also play corresponding prompt information based on different detection results to promptly inform the user of the peripheral device status, preventing the peripheral device from being lost.

[0030] In some implementations, the storage mechanism includes a second sensing device, and the peripheral device includes a second magnetic body. The second sensing device is configured to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the strength of the magnetic field surrounding the storage mechanism. Detecting whether the peripheral device is stored within the storage mechanism includes: detecting whether the electrical signal transmitted by the second sensing device is received; if the electrical signal is received, determining whether the electrical signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal threshold; and determining that the peripheral device is stored within the storage mechanism if the electrical signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold. In this manner, by utilizing the second sensing device to detect the strength of the magnetic field within the storage mechanism, determining whether the peripheral device is stored within the storage mechanism improves detection accuracy.

[0031] In some implementations, detecting whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism further includes: if no electrical signal is received, or if the electrical signal is less than a preset signal threshold, determining that the peripheral device is not stored in the storage mechanism. In this way, different detection results can be obtained, so that prompt information corresponding to different detection results can be played to the user, so that the user can understand the different statuses of the peripheral device in real time.

[0032] In some implementations, if the peripheral device is not stored in the storage mechanism and is not connected to the electrical connector, playing a third prompt message includes: if the received electrical signal begins to decrease from a preset signal threshold, starting to accumulate a first time duration; if the peripheral device is not detected to be connected to the electrical connector when the first time duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, playing the third prompt message. In this way, the status of the peripheral device can be accurately detected, so that prompt messages can be accurately played to the user.

[0033] In some implementations, if the peripheral device is not stored in the storage mechanism and is not connected to the electrical connector, playing a third prompt message includes: if it is detected that the peripheral device and the electrical connector change from being connected to being disconnected, starting to accumulate a second time period; if the peripheral device is not detected to be stored in the storage mechanism when the second time period is greater than or equal to a second time threshold, playing the third prompt message. In this way, the status of the peripheral device can be accurately detected, so that prompt messages can be accurately played to the user.

[0034] In some implementations, the electronic device includes a display screen; and when playing target prompt information, the method includes: displaying a target prompt pop-up window on the display screen, displaying the target prompt information in the target prompt pop-up window at a preset time interval and a preset number of times; and / or invoking a voice player to play the target prompt information by voice at a preset time interval and a preset number of times; wherein the target prompt information includes one of a first prompt information, a second prompt information, and a third prompt information. Thus, providing multiple ways to play prompt information can improve user experience.

[0037] In the seventh aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a computer program product comprising instructions, which, when executed on a computer, enables the computer to execute the method of the fourth aspect and its various implementation methods.

[0069] The following will clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0070] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0071] In addition, in this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they can change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

[0072] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of a notebook computer.

[0073] As shown in FIG1 , the notebook computer includes a display 10 and a host 20 , and the display 10 and the host 20 are rotatably connected via a hinge 30 .

[0074] The display 10 includes a front housing 11 and a screen 40. The screen 40 is used to display images and videos, and can be either a flexible or rigid display. The front housing 11 faces the user and protects the screen 40. It can cover the edges and back of the screen 40.

[0075] The host 20 includes a host body (not shown in the figure), a keyboard 21 and a touchpad 22. The keyboard 21 and the touchpad 22 are arranged on the host body and face the screen 40. The keyboard 21 is used to input instructions or data. One working mode of the touchpad 22 is to be used as a mouse, using the touch action of the user's finger (including swiping, clicking, etc.) to control the movement of the cursor on the screen 40 to perform the mouse's "cursor navigation", "selection" or "confirmation" and other operations. It should be noted that in different working modes, the touchpad 22 can replace the mouse to control the laptop computer, or it can work in conjunction with the mouse to improve the portability of the laptop computer.

[0076] The host computer includes multiple electronic components, including but not limited to a processor and memory. The host computer is used to control the display of images or videos on the screen 40 based on commands or data input from the keyboard 21 , and to control the cursor movement on the screen 40 based on touch input from the touchpad 22 .

[0077] The hinge 30 allows the laptop to switch between an open and closed state. When the laptop is in the open state, the display 10 and the host computer 20 form an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°. When the laptop is in the closed state, the display 10 covers the host computer 20, with the display surface of the display 10 facing the keyboard surface of the host computer 20.

[0078] The display 10 includes a camera 50 for capturing images. One or more cameras 50 may be provided. The camera 50 is located at the top of the front housing 11, facing the user. The top of the camera 50 is parallel to the plane of the screen 40. The camera 50 is integrated above the screen 40 to capture images of the user in front of the screen.

[0079] In order to accommodate the camera 50, the top width W of the front shell 11 is 11 The width of the camera 50 must be adapted. This results in a relatively wide edge of the front housing 11 that encloses the screen 40 in the laptop, resulting in a wide black border on the user-facing side, which compromises aesthetics and fails to achieve the narrow black border and full-screen requirements. Furthermore, the camera 50 cannot be moved during filming, and can only capture the user in front of the screen. If the filming range needs to be changed, such as to capture the scene behind the screen during an interview, the entire laptop must be rotated, or an additional camera must be used, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0080] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, a peripheral device and a terminal system.

[0081] The electronic devices described in the embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, notebook computers, tablet computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, or wearable devices. The peripheral devices described in the embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, camera modules, microphones, or flashlights. The following description assumes that the electronic device is a notebook computer and the peripheral device is a camera module.

[0082] FIG2 is a first structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, the electronic device may include: a first body 100 , a second body 200 , and an electrical connector 300 .

[0084] The first body 100 includes a first housing (not shown) and a display screen 102, which are fastened together. The display screen 102 is used to display images and videos, and can be either flexible or rigid. The first housing faces away from the user and protects the display screen 102. The first housing can cover the edges and back of the display screen 102.

[0085] The second body 200 may include a second housing (not shown), a keyboard assembly 210, a touchpad assembly 220, and the like. The keyboard assembly 210 and the touchpad assembly 220 are disposed on the second housing and face the display screen 102. The second housing includes a plurality of electronic components, including but not limited to a processor and memory.

[0086] The first body 100 and the second body 200 can be connected and rotated by a shaft or hinge (not shown) so that the electronic device can be switched between an open state and a closed state. For example, the first body 100 can serve as a display side and the second body 200 can serve as a host system side.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 2 , when the electronic device is in the open state, the first body 100 and the second body 200 form an angle greater than 0° to 180°.

[0088] To facilitate the explanation of the positions of various components in an electronic device, an embodiment of the present application exemplarily establishes a three-dimensional coordinate system based on the electronic device, wherein the x-axis direction is the width direction of the electronic device, the y-axis direction is the length direction of the electronic device, and the z-axis direction is the thickness direction of the electronic device.

[0089] 2 shows a three-dimensional coordinate system of the first body 100 , where the x-axis is the width direction of the first body 100 , the y-axis is the length direction of the first body 100 , and the z-axis is the thickness direction of the first body 100 .

[0090] FIG3 is a second structural diagram of the electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, when the electronic device is in a closed state, the first body 100 covers the second body 200 , and the display surface of the first body 100 faces the keyboard surface of the second body 200 .

[0092] As shown in conjunction with Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the first housing may include a housing body 103 and a first frame 101. The housing body 103 can be considered as the outer shell of the first body 100, with the housing body 103 facing away from the user, and the first frame 101 can be considered as the side of the first body 100. The housing body 103 and the first frame 101 can be integrally formed.

[0093] The housing body 103 is disposed on the back of the display screen 102, and the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the housing body 103. The extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from the extension direction of the housing body 103. For example, the extension direction of the first frame 101 is parallel to the z-axis, and the extension direction of the housing body 103 is parallel to the x-axis and y-axis. The first frame 101 is perpendicular to the housing body 103.

[0094] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the local structure of area A in FIG2 .

[0095] As shown in combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 102 , and an extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from an extension direction of the display screen 102 .

[0096] Exemplarily, the extension direction of the first frame 101 is parallel to the z-axis, the extension direction of the display screen 102 is parallel to the x-axis and the y-axis, and the first frame 101 is perpendicular to the display screen 102 .

[0097] The housing body 103 and the display screen 102 are located on opposite sides of the first frame 101 , and the edge of the housing body 103 and the edge of the display screen 102 are connected through the first frame 101 . The extension direction of the housing body 103 is the same as that of the display screen 102 .

[0098] In this way, the display screen 102 is fixed by the first frame 101 of the first housing, which is perpendicular to the display screen 102, and there is no need to install a camera at the top of the first housing above the display screen 102. Without a built-in camera in the first body 100, the edge of the display screen 102 can extend to the edge of the first housing, thereby achieving the requirements of a full screen and narrow black borders.

[0099] In some embodiments, the electrical connector 300 is provided on the first frame 101. For example, the electrical connector 300 is located at the top of the first frame 101. The electrical connector 300 can also be provided on the left or right side of the first frame 101 relative to the user, which is not limited here. The electrical connector 300 is used to achieve electrical connection between different electronic devices for signal transmission. For example, the electrical connector 300 can adopt a precision spring pin (pogo-pin) connector. Pogo-pin is a spring-type probe formed by three basic components: a spring, and a needle tube, which are pre-pressed by a precision instrument after riveting.

[0100] The electrical connector 300 may include a plurality of first terminals 301. The electrical connector 300 is located within the first body 100, with the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 exposed on the first frame 101. The electrical connector 300 is configured to detachably connect to the peripheral device 400, electrically connecting the plurality of first terminals 301 to the plurality of second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400. The structure of the peripheral device 400 can be seen in FIG. 8 and is not further described here.

[0101] To achieve electrical connection, the first terminal 301 and the second terminal 402 are arranged in a male-female pairing. If the first terminal 301 is a spring-loaded pin, the second terminal 402 is a metal end surface. If the first terminal 301 is a metal end surface, the second terminal 402 is a spring-loaded pin. This article uses the example of a metal end surface for the first terminal 301 and a spring-loaded pin for the second terminal 402.

[0102] For example, if the peripheral device 400 is a camera module, the camera module is removably electrically connected to the electrical connector 300, eliminating the need for a built-in camera module within the first body 100. This allows for both narrow black borders on the first housing and a full-screen display 102. Because the first bezel 101 and the display 102 extend in different directions, the camera module can be mounted upright to capture images in front of the screen, or reversed to capture images behind the screen. This allows the camera module to change its shooting range to capture images from different perspectives, making it suitable for a variety of scenarios and providing a good user experience.

[0103] In the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first frame 101 surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 102, and the extension direction of the first frame 101 is different from the extension direction of the display screen 102. The electrical connector 300 is located in the first frame 101, and the multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are exposed in the first frame 101, so that the electrical connector 300 can be detachably docked with the peripheral device. In this way, the peripheral device is located on the top of the first body 100, and the peripheral device can be electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 in a forward or reverse manner to adapt to different application scenarios and improve user experience. At the same time, the electronic device does not need to be built into the peripheral device, and the peripheral device 400 will not occupy the space at the edge of the front shell, so that the first shell cancels the configuration of the front shell structure (the front shell 11 as shown in Figure 1), thereby meeting the requirements of the full screen and narrow black border of the electronic device.

[0104] Referring again to FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, a mounting groove 1011 is provided on the first frame 101 , and the mounting groove 1011 is used to accommodate a plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 .

[0105] The plurality of first terminals 301 are exposed in the mounting groove 1011 . There is a certain distance between the plurality of first terminals 301 and the surface of the first frame 101 along the x-axis direction. The distance can be regarded as the depth of the mounting groove 1011 .

[0106] The mounting groove 1011 is configured to allow at least a portion of the peripheral device 400 to be detachably embedded in the mounting groove 1011 , so that the plurality of second terminals of the peripheral device 400 are electrically connected to the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 .

[0107] In this way, the mounting groove 1011 can play a role in installation and positioning. The second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400 is embedded in the mounting groove 1011. The mounting groove 1011 on the first frame 101 can limit the movement of the peripheral device 400 along the y-axis and z-axis, thereby improving the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300.

[0108] FIG5 is a first structural diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0109] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments, electrical connector 300 may include a metal dielectric and an insulating member 303, with insulating member 303 wrapped around the outside of the metal dielectric. Insulating member 303 may be made of an insulating material such as plastic, and is used to insulate the metal dielectric from the first housing. The metal dielectric may be made of a conductive material such as copper.

[0110] The electrical connector 300 further includes a plurality of cables 302 , and a metal medium is used to form the plurality of first terminals 301 and the plurality of cables 302 .

[0111] Fig. 6 is a second schematic structural diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein Fig. 6 shows the side view structure of the electrical connector 300 .

[0112] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the electrical connector 300 may include a connection portion 311 and a wiring portion 312. The wiring portion 312 is arranged alternately with the connection portion 311 to adapt to the structure of the first housing. The connection portion 311 is used to connect to the peripheral device 400, and the wiring portion 312 is used to transmit signals to the interior of the electronic device.

[0113] As shown in conjunction with Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the metal medium exposes multiple metal end faces from one end face of the connecting portion 311 to form multiple first terminals 301. The metal medium is then routed from the connecting portion 311 along the z-axis toward the routing portion 312 located on one side of the connecting portion 311, and then routed along the x-axis within the routing portion 312. To facilitate the connection of the electrical connector 300 to the system motherboard in the electronic device, the metal medium can pass through one end face of the routing portion 312 to form multiple cables 302, and the multiple cables 302 can continue to extend along the x-axis. Among them, the end face of the connecting portion 311 that exposes the first terminal 301 can be parallel to the end face of the routing portion 312 that exposes the cable 302, so that the routing direction can be changed.

[0114] The multiple cables 302 correspond one-to-one to the multiple first terminals 301, and the number of cables 302 is the same as the number of first terminals 301. Thus, when the electrical connector 300 utilizes the multiple first terminals 301 to electrically connect to the multiple second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 for signal transmission, the signals are transmitted via the multiple first terminals 301 to the multiple cables 302 . Finally, the multiple cables 302 transmit all the signals to the system motherboard, thus preventing signal loss.

[0115] It can be understood that the direction of the dotted arrow shown in FIG6 can be either the wiring direction of the metal medium or the signal transmission direction in which the peripheral device 400 transmits signals to the electronic device via the electrical connector 300.

[0116] FIG. 7 is a third structural schematic diagram of the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0117] As shown in conjunction with Figures 4 and 7 , in some embodiments, in the electrical connector 300, the plurality of first terminals 301 are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction (y-axis direction) of the first frame 101. Similarly, the plurality of second terminals of the peripheral device are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the peripheral device 400, corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of first terminals 301. This facilitates electrical connection between the second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 and the first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300.

[0118] There are at least five first terminals 301, and different first terminals 301 may have different terminal definitions. The terminal definitions are used to describe the function of each first terminal 301. Terminal definitions may include, but are not limited to, power supply, signal transmission, audio transmission, video transmission, and grounding.

[0119] The terminals of the multiple first terminals 301 are defined to be centrally symmetrical. For example, along the y-axis, the terminal of the first terminal 301 located in the middle is defined as PIN-A; the terminals of the first terminals 301 on either side of PIN-A are defined as PIN-B; the terminals of the first terminals 301 adjacent to each PIN-B and away from PIN-A are defined as PIN-C; and the terminals of the first terminals 301 adjacent to each PIN-C and away from PIN-B are defined as PIN-D. PIN-A, PIN-B, PIN-C, and PIN-D are each one of power supply, signal transmission, audio transmission, video transmission, and grounding, and PIN-A, PIN-B, PIN-C, and PIN-D are different.

[0120] In some embodiments, the terminal definition of each first terminal 301 can be pre-configured to be centrally symmetrical. In another embodiment, a switch can be configured in the electronic device to switch the terminal definition of each first terminal 301 to be centrally symmetrical according to the switch.

[0121] FIG8 is a first structural diagram of the peripheral device 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 8 , in some embodiments, the peripheral device 400 may include: a device body 401 and a plurality of second terminals 402 .

[0123] One end of the device body 401 is provided with a docking portion 4011, which protrudes relative to the device body 401 toward the external environment. A plurality of second terminals 402 are positioned within the docking portion 4011, such that the plurality of second terminals 402 protrude relative to the device body 401 toward the external environment. For example, the second terminals 402 may be pins. The device body 401 is configured to detachably dock with the electrical connector 300 of the electronic device, thereby electrically connecting the plurality of second terminals 402 to the plurality of first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300.

[0124] The dimensions of the docking portion 4011 match those of the mounting groove 1011 on the first frame 101, allowing the docking portion 4011 to fit easily within the mounting groove 1011, thereby improving the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101. Furthermore, the terminal definitions of the multiple second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 are also centrally symmetrically arranged, corresponding one-to-one with the terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300. This facilitates the electrical connection between the second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 and the first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300, thereby facilitating both forward and reverse mounting of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300.

[0125] For example, if the peripheral device 400 is a camera module, the dashed arrow in Figure 8 represents the optical axis z1 of the camera module's lens. The second terminal 402 is not located on the end face of the device body 401 where the lens (not shown) is located. Instead, the second terminal 402 is located on the end face of the device body 401 adjacent to the end face where the lens is located. The protrusion of the second terminal 402 relative to the device body 401 is perpendicular to the optical axis z1 of the camera module's lens, enabling the camera module's lens to capture images after the camera module is docked with the electrical connector 300.

[0126] 4 and 8 , when the camera module is docked with the electrical connector 300, the docking portion 4011 of the camera module is embedded in the mounting groove 1011 in the first body 100. The multiple second terminals 402 of the camera module are aligned one-to-one with the multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300, and the terminal definitions are also aligned one-to-one to achieve electrical connection. The device body 401 of the camera module protrudes relative to the first frame 101, and the optical axis z1 of the camera module's lens is not blocked by the first body 100. The optical axis z1 of the camera module's lens is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting groove 1011 (the x-axis direction) and parallel to the z-axis direction.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300 are evenly spaced along the y-axis, and the terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301 are centrally symmetrical along the z-axis. The multiple second terminals 402 of the peripheral device 400 are also evenly spaced, and the terminal definitions of the multiple second terminals 402 are centrally symmetrical, and the spacing between the multiple second terminals 402 is equal to the spacing between the multiple first terminals 301, and the terminal definitions of the multiple second terminals 402 are one-to-one opposite to the terminal definitions of the multiple first terminals 301. In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electronic device, the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 can be electrically connected in a forward or reverse manner to meet different usage requirements and improve user experience.

[0128] FIG9 is a schematic diagram of the upright structure of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 9 , in some embodiments, the camera module and the electrical connector 300 are installed upright, and the lens of the camera module faces the user side to capture the image in front of the screen.

[0130] FIG10 is a schematic diagram of the reverse-mounted structure of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0131] As shown in FIG. 10 , in some embodiments, the camera module and the electrical connector 300 are reversely installed, and the lens of the camera module faces the back of the screen to capture the image behind the screen.

[0132] In this way, the camera module can be detachably mounted on the electrical connector 300 in a forward or reverse manner, so that the camera module can change the shooting range to shoot pictures from different angles.

[0133] Fig. 11 is a first partial structural diagram of area B in Fig. 3. Fig. 11 does not show the structure of the display screen 102, but rather shows the structure of the interior of area B in Fig. 3 from another perspective.

[0134] As shown in FIG11 , in some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include at least one first magnetic body 104 . The at least one first magnetic body 104 is located inside the first frame 101 and adjacent to the electrical connector 300 . The first magnetic body 104 is near the mounting slot 1011 .

[0135] The first magnetic body 104 is used to attract the peripheral device 400 to improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first body 100. The first magnetic body 104 can be a magnet, an electromagnet, or a permanent magnet.

[0136] For example, there may be two first magnetic bodies 104 , which are located on both sides of the electrical connector 300 , and a certain distance between each first magnetic body 104 and the electrical connector 300 to avoid mutual interference.

[0137] FIG12 is a second schematic diagram of the structure of the peripheral device 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein FIG12 shows the internal structure of the peripheral device 400 .

[0138] As shown in FIG. 12 , in some embodiments, a device body 401 of a peripheral device 400 may include a circuit board 404 and at least one second magnetic body 403 .

[0139] At least one second magnetic body 403 is located at an end of the device body 401 where the plurality of second terminals 402 are located, and at least one second magnetic body 403 is adjacent to the plurality of second terminals 402. One end of a circuit board 404 extends to the end of the device body 401 where the plurality of second terminals 402 are located, and the circuit board 404 is electrically connected to the second terminals 402.

[0140] The second magnetic body 403 is used to attract the first magnetic body 104 in the first body 100 to improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first body 100. The second magnetic body 403 can be a magnet, an electromagnet, or a permanent magnet.

[0141] For example, there may be two second magnetic bodies 403 , which are located on either side of the docking portion 4011 , with a certain distance between each second magnetic body 403 and the docking portion 4011 . The extended end of the circuit board 404 is located between the two second magnetic bodies 403 .

[0142] FIG13 is a schematic diagram of the local structure of the D area in FIG9 .

[0143] As shown in Figure 13, in some embodiments, the spacing distance between the two first magnetic bodies 104 set on the inner side of the first frame 101 is equal to the spacing distance between the two second magnetic bodies 403 set in the device body 401, and the distance between the first magnetic body 104 and the installation groove 1011 is equal to the distance between the second magnetic body 403 and the docking part 4011.

[0144] The first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 have opposite magnetic properties. When the external device is docked with the electrical connector 300, the docking portion 4011 of the external device 400 is inserted into the mounting slot 1011 in the first body 100. The multiple second terminals 402 of the external device 400 are aligned with and electrically connected to the multiple first terminals 301 of the electrical connector 300. The two second magnetic bodies 403 of the external device 400 are aligned with and attracted to the two first magnetic bodies 104 on the inner side of the first frame 101.

[0145] In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is docked with the electrical connector 300 , the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 attract each other, which can further improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101 , thereby improving the electrical connection stability between the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 .

[0146] Fig. 14 is a second partial structural diagram of area B in Fig. 3. Fig. 14 only shows the internal structure of the first housing.

[0147] As shown in FIG. 14 , in some embodiments, the inner surface of the first frame 101 includes at least one first receiving groove 1012 .

[0148] The at least one first receiving groove 1012 is adjacent to the installation groove 1011 , and the at least one first magnetic body 104 is disposed in the at least one first receiving groove 1012 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0149] The number of the first receiving slots 1012 is the same as the number of the first magnetic bodies 104 , so that the first receiving slots 1012 can be used to receive the first magnetic bodies 104 , thereby preventing the first magnetic bodies 104 from occupying the internal space of the first body 100 and improving the stability of the first magnetic bodies 104 and the first frame 101 .

[0150] The mounting groove 1011 extends through the inner and outer surfaces of the first frame 101 and can be considered a through hole. The first receiving groove 1012 can be a blind groove, allowing the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 to be adsorbed by the thickness of the wall of the first receiving groove 1012. The first receiving groove 1012 can also be a through hole, so that the first magnetic body 104 is exposed from the outer surface of the first frame 101, allowing the first magnetic body 104 and the second magnetic body 403 to be directly adsorbed, thereby improving the adsorption force.

[0151] In some embodiments, the housing body 103 may include a first shell surface 1031 , and the first shell surface 1031 faces the display screen 102 .

[0152] The first shell surface 1031 may include a second receiving groove 1033 and a third receiving groove 1035. The second receiving groove 1033 is located in the third receiving groove 1035. The second receiving groove 1033 is adjacent to the mounting groove 1011, and the third receiving groove 1035 may be in communication with the mounting groove 1011.

[0153] Along the y-axis direction, the length of the third receiving groove 1035 is greater than the length of the second receiving groove 1033, and the length of the third receiving groove 1035 is greater than the distance between the two first receiving grooves 1012, so that at least one first receiving groove 1012 is located within the length range of the third receiving groove 1035.

[0154] FIG15 is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of the CC section in FIG4 .

[0155] As shown in FIG. 15 , in some embodiments, the second receiving groove 1033 is recessed from the first shell surface 1031 to the inside of the housing body 103 by a certain depth h. 1033 The third receiving groove 1035 is formed by being recessed from the first shell surface 1031 to the inside of the shell body 103 by a certain depth h. 1035 The depth h of the third receiving groove 1035 is 1035 Less than the depth h of the second receiving groove 1033 1033 , the depth h of the third receiving groove 1035 1035 Smaller than the thickness h of the housing body 103 103.

[0156] The second receiving groove 1033 is configured to provide routing space for multiple cables 302. The electrical connector 300 has a structure in which the connecting portion 311 and the routing portion 312 are arranged in an alternating manner. Part of the connecting portion 311 is embedded in the mounting groove 1011, so that the first terminal 301 is exposed from the mounting groove 1011. The other part of the connecting portion 311 protrudes from the inner surface of the first frame 101. The routing portion 312 is adjacent to the housing body 103 and is located within the routing space provided by the second receiving groove 1033, allowing the cables 302 to be routed within the second receiving groove 1033. In other words, when the electrical connector 300 is laid out, the metal dielectric is routed from the connecting portion 311 along the z-axis toward the housing body 103 to the second receiving groove 1033, then changes its routing direction and routes along the inner surface of the housing body 103 in the x-axis direction, forming the routing portion 312. The cables 302 pass through the end surface of the routing portion 312 and continue to be routed along the x-axis.

[0157] In this way, the wiring direction within the electrical connector 300 can be changed, so that the outlet of the cable 302 is away from the display screen 102, thereby preventing the outlet of the cable 302 from obstructing the extension of the display screen 102. By keeping the outlet of the cable 302 away from the display screen 102, the edge of the display screen 102 can be abutted against the first frame 101, thereby reducing the size of the black border of the display screen 102, or even eliminating the black border, thereby achieving the requirements of a full screen and narrow black borders, and also improving the aesthetic effect.

[0158] Fig. 16 is a third partial structural diagram of area B in Fig. 3. Fig. 16 only shows a partial structure of the first body 100.

[0159] As shown in conjunction with FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 , in some embodiments, the housing body 103 may further include a second shell surface 1032 , the second shell surface 1032 facing the external environment, and the second shell surface 1032 facing away from the first shell surface 1031 .

[0160] In order to provide wiring space for the electrical connector 300, the depth of the second receiving groove 1033 is h 1033 Greater than the thickness h of the housing body 103 103 , so that the portion of the second shell surface 1032 adjacent to the mounting groove 1011 forms a convex structure 1034 protruding toward the external environment.

[0161] The projections of the electrical connector 300 and the at least one first magnetic body 104 on the second shell surface 1032 are located within the projection of the convex structure 1034 on the second shell surface 1032. That is, along the y-axis, the length of the convex structure 1034 is greater than or equal to the length of the third receiving groove 1035. Along the x-axis, the width of the convex structure 1034 is greater than or equal to the width of the third receiving groove 1035. The height of the convex structure 1034 protruding from the second shell surface 1032 is related to the depth of the second receiving groove 1033 and the wall thickness of the convex structure 1034.

[0162] Thus, the convex structure 1034 forms a localized convex portion of the housing body 103 at a location corresponding to the electrical connector 300. This localized protrusion of the convex structure 1034 relative to the first housing along the z-axis not only reduces the thickness of the remaining portions of the first housing 100 but also maintains the overall appearance. Furthermore, the third receiving slot 1035 accommodates the components within the convex structure 1034, preventing these components from interfering with the layout of other components within the first housing 100.

[0163] FIG17 is a partial side view of the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application when connected.

[0164] As shown in FIG. 17 , in some embodiments, the convex structure 1034 protrudes relative to the housing body 103 , which can increase the local width W of the first frame 101 . 101 The location where the local width increases can be used as a bearing surface.

[0165] In this way, when the peripheral device 400 is docked with the electrical connector 300, the bearing surface is used to support the peripheral device 400, which can improve the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the first frame 101, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300.

[0166] 15 again, in some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include a buffer medium 105. For example, the buffer medium 105 may be made of a soft rubber material to provide a buffering effect.

[0167] The buffer medium 105 is located between the first frame 101 and the display screen 102 and can surround the edges of the display screen 102. This prevents the display screen 102 from directly contacting the first frame 101 and causing local stress concentration, thereby avoiding damage to the display screen 102.

[0168] At least a portion of the buffer medium 105 extends along the back side of the first terminal 301 and abuts the cable 302. At least a portion of the buffer medium 105 extends along the back side of the connecting portion 311 and abuts the wiring portion 312. This prevents the end of the display screen 102 from contacting the back side of the electrical connector 300, thereby preventing local stress concentration and thus damaging the display screen 102.

[0169] In some embodiments, when the electrical connector 300 is docked with the peripheral device 400, a corresponding electrical signal may be generated. This electrical signal is transmitted via the cable 302 of the electrical connector 300 to the system mainboard, which may be disposed within the second body 200. Receipt of this electrical signal by the system mainboard indicates that the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300. Thus, whether the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300 can be detected based on whether the system mainboard receives this electrical signal.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first body 100 may further include a first sensing device (not shown). The first sensing device is located inside the first frame 101 and adjacent to the at least one first magnetic body 104. The first sensing device is configured to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300.

[0171] In this way, based on the detection result of whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, the electronic device can play corresponding prompt information to the user, so that the user can understand the status of the peripheral device 400 in time to avoid the loss of the peripheral device 400.

[0172] It should be noted that the process of the first sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 can refer to the process of the second sensing device 204 detecting whether the peripheral device is accommodated in the accommodating mechanism 203 provided in the following embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0173] Referring again to FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, the second body 200 may include a second housing, which may include a front housing 201, a second frame 202, and a rear housing (not shown). The front housing 201 faces the display screen 102, and the keyboard assembly 210 and the touchpad assembly 220 are both disposed on the front housing 201. The rear housing faces away from the display screen 102, with the front housing 201 and the rear housing located on opposite sides of the second frame 202, and the edges of the front housing 201 and the rear housing connected by the second frame 202.

[0174] The second frame 202 extends in a different direction than the front cover 201 and can be considered as a side of the second body 200. Referring to FIG3 , when the electronic device is closed, the second frame 202 extends in the same direction as the first frame 101.

[0175] FIG18 is a first structural diagram of the second body 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application. FIG18 shows a bottom view of the second body 200, and does not show the structure of the rear housing.

[0176] As shown in FIG. 18 , in some embodiments, a storage mechanism 203 is disposed inside the second body 200 , and the storage mechanism 203 is adjacent to the second frame 202 .

[0177] The storage mechanism 203 provides a cavity for storing unused peripheral devices to prevent the loss of detachable peripheral devices.

[0178] Figure 19 is a schematic diagram of the first partial structure of the E region in Figure 18. Figure 20 is a schematic diagram of the second partial structure of the E region in Figure 18. Figures 19 and 20 show the structures from different perspectives.

[0179] As shown in Figures 19 and 20, in some embodiments, a storage hole 2021 is opened on the second frame 202, and the storage hole 2021 is adjacent to and connected to the storage mechanism 203, so that the peripheral device 400 can be stored in the storage mechanism 203 through the storage hole 2021.

[0180] In some embodiments, the second body 200 may further include a second sensing device 204 . The second sensing device 204 is disposed in the storage mechanism 203 . The second sensing device 204 is configured to detect whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism 203 .

[0181] A system mainboard is disposed in the second body 200 , and the second sensing device 204 is connected to the system mainboard via a wiring 2041 .

[0182] For example, the second sensing device 204 can be a Hall effect device, which is used to detect whether magnetism exists within the storage mechanism 203 and generate an electrical signal corresponding to the strength of the magnetic field around the storage mechanism 203. The Hall effect device sends the electrical signal to the system motherboard, which then detects whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203.

[0183] It should be noted that the process of the system motherboard detecting whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism 203 can refer to the peripheral device status detection method provided in the following embodiment. The working principles of the first sensing device and the second sensing device 204 provided in the aforementioned embodiment are the same and are not repeated here.

[0184] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism 203 includes an opening 2031, and the second sensing device 204 is adjacent to the opening 2031. In this way, the second sensing device 204 can easily detect the magnetism in the storage mechanism 203, thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0185] Figure 21 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the peripheral device 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application stored in the storage mechanism 203. Figure 22 is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of the F area in Figure 21. Figure 22 shows the structure from different perspectives.

[0186] 21 and 22 , in some embodiments, the peripheral device 400 enters the cavity of the storage mechanism 203 through the storage hole 2021 , and the docking portion 4011 of the peripheral device 400 faces the interior of the storage mechanism 203 .

[0187] In some embodiments, the second body 200 may further include at least one third magnetic body 205; the at least one third magnetic body 205 is spaced apart and located on the surface of the storage mechanism 203 facing the storage hole 2021. The third magnetic body 205 is configured to attract the peripheral device 400, thereby securing the peripheral device 400 within the storage mechanism 203. For example, the third magnetic body 205 may be a magnet, an electromagnet, or a permanent magnet.

[0188] When the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, the third magnetic body 205 is located on one side of the docking portion 4011. The magnetism of the third magnetic body 205 is opposite to that of the second magnetic body 403 in the peripheral device 400. The third magnetic body 205 and the second magnetic body 403 are attracted to each other, thereby improving the stability of the peripheral device 400 and the storage mechanism 203 and preventing the peripheral device 400 from falling out of the storage mechanism 203 and being lost.

[0189] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism 203 may further include at least one spring clip (not shown), located on a surface of the storage mechanism 203 facing the storage hole 2021. When the spring clip and the third magnetic body 205 are disposed simultaneously within the storage mechanism 203, the spring clip and the third magnetic body 205 may be arranged side by side and spaced apart.

[0190] When the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, at least one spring clip is configured to be distributed on both sides of the second terminal 402 of the peripheral device 400, to elastically contact the peripheral device 400, and to eject the peripheral device 400 from the storage mechanism 203 when the peripheral device 400 is pressed externally. This facilitates the removal of the peripheral device 400 from the storage mechanism 203.

[0191] In some embodiments, the size of the storage hole 2021 on the second frame 202 can be increased. In this way, when the storage mechanism 203 is not provided with a spring clip, the peripheral device 400 can be manually removed from the storage mechanism 203. In other embodiments, the peripheral device 400 can be removed from the second body 200 in other ways, which are not limited here.

[0192] In some embodiments, the present application further provides a terminal system, comprising: the electronic device provided in any of the aforementioned embodiments and a peripheral device 400. The peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 of the electronic device, or the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203 of the electronic device.

[0193] In the terminal system provided by the embodiment of the present application, the peripheral device 400 is detachably connected to the electronic device. When in use, the peripheral device 400 is electrically connected to the electronic device's electrical connector 300; when not in use, the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 provided by the electronic device, making it very convenient to use.

[0194] FIG23 is a schematic structural diagram of the storage bin 500 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0195] As shown in FIG. 23 , in some embodiments, the terminal system may further include: a storage compartment 500 , and the storage compartment 500 is used to store the peripheral device 400 .

[0196] The storage compartment 500 includes a third sensing device (not shown in the figure) configured to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage compartment 500. The process of the third sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage compartment 500 can be referred to the process of the second sensing device 204 detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, and will not be repeated here.

[0197] The storage compartment 500 can be configured in the accessories 600 of the electronic device. For example, the accessories 600 include but are not limited to a mouse, a charger, etc. The manner in which the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage compartment 500 can refer to any manner in which the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, and will not be repeated here.

[0198] In this way, the peripheral device 400 is stored in the accessory 600 of the electronic device, which can prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost when not in use and also makes it easier to take it out when in use.

[0199] Figure 24 is a flowchart of a method for detecting the status of a peripheral device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0200] As shown in FIG. 24 , in some embodiments, a method for detecting the status of a peripheral device is applied to the electronic device provided in the aforementioned embodiments. The method may include the following steps S101 to S104:

[0201] In step S101 , the electronic device detects whether the peripheral device is received in the receiving mechanism, and detects whether the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector.

[0202] Step S102: If the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, a first prompt message is played.

[0203] Step S103: If the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector, a second prompt message is played.

[0204] Step S104: If the peripheral device is not stored in the storage mechanism and is not connected to the electrical connector, a third prompt message is played.

[0205] The electronic device is in a powered-on state. The electronic device includes a system mainboard, which may be located in the second body 200. A processor is configured on the system mainboard, and the processor may detect the status of the peripheral device 400.

[0206] In step S101 , the processor detects whether the peripheral device 400 is received in the receiving mechanism 203 and detects whether the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 are connected. These processes can be performed simultaneously without any particular order.

[0207] The storage mechanism 203 includes a second sensing device 204. Since the peripheral device 400 includes the second magnetic body 403, magnetism is generated within the storage mechanism 203 when the peripheral device 400 is stored therein. Subsequently, the second sensing device 204 detects magnetic fields of varying strength within the storage mechanism 203 and generates an electrical signal corresponding to the strength of the magnetic field surrounding the storage mechanism 203.

[0208] In some embodiments, in step S101, the process of detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 may include the following steps S201 to S203:

[0209] Step S201: detecting whether an electrical signal sent by a second sensing device is received.

[0210] Step S202: If an electrical signal is received, determine whether the electrical signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal threshold.

[0211] Step S203: If the electrical signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold, it is determined that the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism.

[0212] The preset signal threshold refers to a preset signal threshold for determining whether the storage mechanism 203 stores the peripheral device 400 .

[0213] The preset signal threshold value can be customized based on the number of magnetic bodies in the storage mechanism 203 and the total magnetic field strength generated by each magnetic body.

[0214] In one implementation, if the third magnetic body 205 is not provided within the storage mechanism 203 and the second magnetic body 403 is provided within the peripheral device 400, then if the peripheral device 400 is not stored within the storage mechanism 203, then there is no magnetism within the storage mechanism 203, and the second sensing device 204 cannot detect the magnetic field, and thus cannot generate a corresponding electrical signal. If the peripheral device 400 is stored within the storage mechanism 203, then there is magnetism generated by the second magnetic body 403 within the storage mechanism 203, and the second sensing device 204 can detect a magnetic field of a strength corresponding to the magnetism generated by the second magnetic body 403, thereby generating a corresponding electrical signal. In this scenario, the preset signal threshold can be set to a first preset signal threshold, which is only related to the strength of the magnetic field that can be generated by the second magnetic body 403 within the peripheral device 400.

[0215] In another implementation, when a third magnetic body 205 is disposed within the storage mechanism 203 and a second magnetic body 403 is disposed within the peripheral device 400, if the peripheral device 400 is not housed within the storage mechanism 203, the magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205 will still be present within the storage mechanism 203. The second sensing device 204 can detect a magnetic field of a strength corresponding to the magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205, thereby generating a corresponding electrical signal. If the peripheral device 400 is housed within the storage mechanism 203, the magnetism generated by both the third magnetic body 205 and the second magnetic body 403 will be present within the storage mechanism 203. The second sensing device 204 can detect a magnetic field of a strength corresponding to the combined magnetism generated by the third magnetic body 205 and the second magnetic body 403, thereby generating a corresponding electrical signal. In this scenario, the preset signal threshold can be set to a second preset signal threshold, which is related to the combined magnetic field strength generated by the third magnetic body 205 within the storage mechanism 203 and the second magnetic body 403 within the peripheral device 400.

[0216] The second preset signal threshold is greater than the first preset signal threshold so as to be suitable for magnetic detection in different storage scenarios.

[0217] In some embodiments, if the processor receives an electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204, and the electrical signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal threshold, it indicates that the magnetic field strength generated within the storage mechanism 203 exceeds the preset signal threshold, and it can be determined that the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203. The preset signal threshold is the first preset signal threshold or the second preset signal threshold.

[0218] In some embodiments, if the processor does not receive an electrical signal, it indicates that the current storage scenario is a scenario where the third magnetic body 205 is not provided in the storage mechanism 203 , and the second sensing device 204 cannot detect the magnetic field, thereby determining that the peripheral device 400 is not stored in the storage mechanism 203 .

[0219] In some embodiments, if the processor receives an electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204 and the electrical signal is less than a preset signal threshold, it indicates that the magnetic field strength generated in the storage mechanism 203 is insufficient, and it can be determined that the peripheral device 400 is not stored in the storage mechanism 203.

[0220] In this way, by using the second sensing device 204 to detect the magnetic field strength in the storage mechanism 203 , it is determined whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 , thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0221] In step S102 , if the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 , the electronic device plays a first prompt message, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 .

[0222] The manner of playing the first prompt information may include a display manner and / or a voice broadcast manner, etc.

[0223] FIG25 is a schematic diagram of an interface for an electronic device to play a first prompt message provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0224] As shown in FIG. 25 , in some embodiments, the process of playing the first prompt information may include the following steps S301:

[0225] Step S301: Display a first prompt pop-up window 701A on the display screen 102, and display a first prompt message 701B in the first prompt pop-up window 701A according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0226] The preset number of times can be customized by the user to determine the number of times the first prompt information is played; the preset time interval can also be customized by the user to determine the time interval between two adjacent plays of the first prompt information.

[0227] Exemplarily, the first prompt pop-up window 701A displays a prompt message “The peripheral device is in the storage mechanism” to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 .

[0228] The first prompt pop-up window 701A can be displayed in various areas of the display screen 102 in the form of a pop-up window or a floating layer. For example, the first prompt pop-up window 701A can be displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen 102 in the form of a pop-up window.

[0229] In some embodiments, the process of playing the first prompt information may further include the following steps S302:

[0230] Step S302: calling a voice player to play the first prompt information in voice according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0231] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can select one of the methods of displaying the first prompt information using a first prompt pop-up window and playing the first prompt information by voice using a voice player, or can execute them simultaneously.

[0232] In step S103, when the electrical connector 300 is connected to the peripheral device 400, a corresponding electrical signal may be generated. This electrical signal is sent to the system motherboard through the electrical connector 300 and then to the processor. The processor receives this electrical signal, which indicates that the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 are connected.

[0233] If the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 , the electronic device plays a second prompt message, where the second prompt message is used to prompt the user that the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300 .

[0234] The manner of playing the second prompt information may include a display manner and / or a voice broadcast manner, etc.

[0235] FIG26 is a schematic diagram of an interface for an electronic device to play a second prompt message provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0236] As shown in FIG. 26 , in some embodiments, the process of playing the second prompt information may include the following steps S401:

[0237] Step S401: Display a second prompt pop-up window 702A on the display screen 102, and display a second prompt message 702B in the second prompt pop-up window 702A according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0238] Exemplarily, the second prompt pop-up window 702A displays a prompt message “The peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector” to remind the user that the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300 and the peripheral device 400 is being used.

[0239] In some embodiments, the process of playing the second prompt information may further include the following steps S402:

[0240] Step S402: calling a voice player to play the second prompt information in voice according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0241] It is understandable that the process of the electronic device playing the second prompt information can refer to the process of playing the first prompt information, which is not described in detail here.

[0242] In step S104 , if the processor detects that the peripheral device 400 is not received in the receiving mechanism 203 and is not connected to the electrical connector 300 , it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is neither received in the receiving mechanism 203 nor used.

[0243] To prevent the peripheral device from being lost, the electronic device plays a third prompt message, which is used to remind the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither stored in the storage mechanism 203 nor connected to the electrical connector 300. The third prompt message can be played in a display manner and / or a voice broadcast manner.

[0244] In this way, different detection results can be obtained, so that prompt information corresponding to different detection results can be played to the user, so that the user can understand different states of the peripheral device 400 in real time.

[0245] FIG27 is a schematic diagram of an interface for an electronic device playing a third prompt message provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0246] As shown in FIG. 27 , in some embodiments, the process of playing the third prompt information may include the following steps S501:

[0247] Step S501: Display a third prompt pop-up window 703A on the display screen 102, and display a third prompt message 703B in the third prompt pop-up window 703A according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0248] For example, the third pop-up window 703A displays a prompt message “The peripheral device is not installed in the whole machine” to remind the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither stored in the storage mechanism 203 nor connected to the electrical connector 300 .

[0249] In some embodiments, the process of playing the third prompt information may further include the following steps S502:

[0250] Step S502: calling a voice player to play the third prompt information by voice according to a preset time interval and a preset number of times.

[0251] It is understandable that the process of the electronic device playing the third prompt information can refer to the process of playing the first prompt information, which is not described in detail here.

[0252] In some embodiments, the electronic device also supports user-defined activation of a reminder function. If the user has activated the reminder function, corresponding reminder messages are played upon detecting that the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, that the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300, and that the peripheral device 400 is neither stored in the storage mechanism 203 nor connected to the electrical connector 300. If the user has not activated the reminder function, the detection process is not performed, and the corresponding reminder message is not played.

[0253] In some embodiments, step S104 may include the following steps S601 to S602:

[0254] Step S601: If the received electrical signal starts to decrease from a preset signal threshold, a first time duration is accumulated.

[0255] Step S602: If it is not detected that the peripheral device is in a connected state with the electrical connector when the first time duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, a third prompt message is played.

[0256] If the electrical signal received by the processor from the second sensing device 204 begins to decrease below the preset signal threshold, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 has been removed from the storage mechanism 203. The first duration refers to the total duration of time the peripheral device 400 has been removed from the storage mechanism 203. The first time threshold refers to the reserved duration of time for the peripheral device 400 to be removed from the storage mechanism 203 and docked with the electrical connector 300.

[0257] If the processor does not detect that the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector when the first duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, this indicates that the peripheral device 400 was not promptly electrically connected to the electrical connector 300 after being removed from the storage mechanism 203. Next, to prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost, the electronic device plays a third prompt message to inform the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither stored in the storage mechanism 203 nor connected to the electrical connector 300. This allows accurate detection of the status of the peripheral device 400 and accurate playback of the prompt message to the user.

[0258] The process of the electronic device playing the third prompt information can refer to the content of step S501 and / or the content of step S502 provided in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0259] In some embodiments, step S104 may include the following steps S701 to S702:

[0260] In step S701 , if it is detected that the peripheral device and the electrical connector are changed from being in a connected state to being in a disconnected state, a second time duration is accumulated.

[0261] Step S702: If the peripheral device is not detected to be stored in the storage mechanism when the second time length is greater than or equal to the second time threshold, a third prompt message is played.

[0262] If the processor changes from being able to receive electrical signals sent by the electrical connector 300 to being unable to receive electrical signals sent by the electrical connector 300, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 is disconnected from the electrical connector 300, that is, it detects that the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300 have changed from being connected to being disconnected. The second duration refers to the total duration of the disconnection between the peripheral device 400 and the electrical connector 300. The second time threshold refers to the reserved operation time for the peripheral device 400 to be disconnected from the electrical connector 300 and stored in the storage mechanism 203.

[0263] If the processor does not receive the electrical signal sent by the second sensing device 204 when the second duration is greater than or equal to the second time threshold, it indicates that the peripheral device 400 was not promptly stored in the storage mechanism 203 after being disconnected from the electrical connector 300. Next, to prevent the peripheral device 400 from being lost, the electronic device plays a third prompt message to inform the user that the peripheral device 400 is neither stored in the storage mechanism 203 nor connected to the electrical connector 300. This allows accurate detection of the peripheral device's status and accurate display of prompt messages to the user.

[0264] The process of the electronic device playing the third prompt information can refer to the content of step S501 and / or the content of step S502 provided in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0265] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism 203 may be built into the electronic device, or may be external and independent, for example, it may be an external storage compartment 500 .

[0266] It should be noted that the process of the first sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is in a connected state with the electrical connector 300, and the process of the third sensing device detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage bin 500, can refer to the process of the electronic device using the second sensing device 204 to detect whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, which will not be repeated here.

[0267] The peripheral device status detection method provided in the embodiments of the present application provides anti-loss detection logic for the peripheral device 400, specifically, detecting whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203 and whether the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300. Based on different detection results, corresponding prompt information can be played to promptly inform the user of the status of the peripheral device 400, thereby preventing the peripheral device 400 from being lost.

[0268] The embodiments provided in the present application above have introduced various schemes of the state detection method of the peripheral device provided in the present application. It is understandable that, in order to realize the above functions, the electronic device includes a hardware structure and / or software module corresponding to the execution of each function. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the present application can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional and technical personnel can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to be beyond the scope of the present application.

[0269] Figure 28 is a block diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the electronic device can implement corresponding functions through the hardware device shown in Figure 28.

[0270] As shown in FIG28 , the electronic device may include: a sensing device 801 , a memory 802 , a processor 803 , a communication module 804 , an electrical connector 300 , and a peripheral device 400 . The aforementioned devices may be connected via one or more communication buses 805 .

[0271] In one embodiment, the sensing device 801 is used to detect the status of the peripheral device 400, for example, whether the peripheral device 400 is connected to the electrical connector 300, whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage mechanism 203, and whether the peripheral device 400 is stored in the storage compartment 500. The sensing device 801 includes any one of the first sensing device, the second sensing device 204, and the third sensing device. The processor 803 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 803 may include an application processor, a modem processor, a graphics processor, an image signal processor, a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor, a baseband processor, and / or a neural network processor. The different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors. The memory 802 is coupled to the processor 803 and is used to store various software programs and / or multiple sets of instructions. The memory 802 may include volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory.

[0272] When the software program and / or the multiple groups of instructions in the memory 802 are executed by the processor 803 , the electronic device implements steps S101 to S104 of the method.

[0273] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application provides peripheral device loss prevention detection logic, namely, it can detect whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism and whether the peripheral device is connected to the electrical connector. Based on different detection results, corresponding prompt information can be played to promptly inform the user of the peripheral device status, thereby preventing the peripheral device from being lost.

[0274] When the software program and / or multiple sets of instructions in memory 802 are executed by processor 803, the electronic device implements steps S201 to S203 of the method. In this way, by using the second sensing device to detect the magnetic field strength within the storage mechanism, it is determined whether the peripheral device is stored in the storage mechanism, thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0275] When the software program and / or multiple sets of instructions in the memory 802 are executed by the processor 803, the electronic device implements the method including: if no electrical signal is received, or if the electrical signal is less than a preset signal threshold, then determining that the peripheral device is not stored in the storage mechanism. In this way, different detection results can be obtained, so that prompt information corresponding to different detection results can be played to the user, so that the user can understand the different statuses of the peripheral device in real time.

[0276] When the software program and / or multiple sets of instructions in the memory 802 are executed by the processor 803, the electronic device implements steps S601-S602 of the method. In this way, the status of the peripheral device can be accurately detected to accurately play prompt information to the user.

[0277] When the software program and / or multiple sets of instructions in the memory 802 are executed by the processor 803, the electronic device implements steps S701 to S702 of the method. In this way, the status of the peripheral device can be accurately detected to accurately play prompt information to the user.

[0278] When the software program and / or multiple sets of instructions in the memory 802 are executed by the processor 803, the electronic device implements steps S301-S302, S401-S402, or S501-S502. In this way, providing multiple ways to play prompt information can improve user experience.

[0279] An embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, including: a memory and a processor; the memory stores program instructions, and when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device executes the status detection method of the peripheral device provided by the above embodiment.
