[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 10, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including a first folding portion 10, a second folding portion 20 and a hinge mechanism 30. The first folding portion 10 and the second folding portion 20 are rotatably connected by the hinge mechanism 30 so that the electronic device can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0043] The above-mentioned unfolded state can be understood as the electronic device being in a fully unfolded state, such as the opening and closing angle of the first folding portion 10 and the second folding portion 20 is 180°, as shown in Figure 1; the above-mentioned folded state can be understood as the electronic device being in a fully folded state, such as the opening and closing angle of the first folding portion 10 and the second folding portion 20 is 0°, as shown in Figure 2.

[0044] The hinge mechanism 30 may be a U-shaped hinge mechanism, a teardrop-shaped hinge mechanism, etc., and may realize the rotational connection between the first folding portion 10 and the second folding portion 20 .

[0045] The above-mentioned first folding part 10 includes a first device body 11, a first frame structure 12 and a first audio structure 13. The first device body 11 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 arranged opposite to each other. There is a first audio hole 14 between the first frame structure 12 and the first surface 111, and a second audio hole 15 between the first frame structure 12 and the second surface 112. The first audio hole 14 and the second audio hole 15 are both connected to the audio channel of the first audio structure 13.

[0046] The second surface 112 may be an end surface of the first folding portion 10 facing the second folding portion 20 when the electronic device is in the folded state.

[0068] In one embodiment, the third audio hole 24 may be a micro-slit hole provided at the connection between the second frame structure 22 and the third surface 211 .

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting the audio hole that connects the second audio structure 23 to the outside world as a micro-slit hole, a hidden design of the audio hole can be achieved compared to a circular audio hole or a runway-shaped audio hole, thereby reducing the appearance openings of the electronic device, especially reducing the appearance openings on the frame of the electronic device, thereby improving the appearance effect of the electronic device.

[0070] In one embodiment, the second audio structure 23 can be understood as a microphone of an electronic device, which can be provided on the second folding portion 20. In addition, when the second audio structure 23 is a microphone, the third audio hole 24 can be understood as a sound receiving hole of the microphone.

[0089] Referring to Figure 11, Figure 11 is a flow chart of the audio processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 11, the audio processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to the electronic devices of Figures 1 to 10 above, and includes the following steps:

[0090] Step 1101: Acquire the opening and closing angle of the electronic device.

[0091] The above-mentioned opening and closing angle can be determined based on the folding angles of the above-mentioned first folding part and the above-mentioned second folding part, such as obtaining the unfolding angle of the hinge mechanism by an angle sensor arranged on the above-mentioned hinge mechanism, and determining the unfolding angle of the hinge mechanism as the opening and closing angle of the electronic device.

[0092] Step 1102: When the opening and closing angle indicates that the electronic device is in an unfolded state, control the audio path corresponding to the first audio hole to output a first inverted audio signal.

[0093] Step 1103: When the opening and closing angle indicates that the electronic device is in a folded state, control the audio path corresponding to the second audio hole to output a second inverted audio signal.

[0094] In one embodiment, the first inverted audio signal and the second inverted audio signal can be set based on actual needs. For example, when a user answers a call when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the audio path corresponding to the second audio hole can meet the user's call effect, and at the same time, the audio path corresponding to the first audio hole can be controlled to output the inverted audio signal to improve the audio output effect of the electronic device; for another example, when a user plays music in the folded state of the electronic device, the audio path corresponding to the first audio hole can meet the user's audio playback effect, and at the same time, the audio path corresponding to the second audio hole can be controlled to output the inverted audio signal to improve the audio output effect of the electronic device.

[0095] In this embodiment, different audio processing strategies can be determined based on the folding state of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device can output an audio signal through the second audio hole, and at the same time, the audio path corresponding to the first audio hole can be controlled to output a first inverted audio signal, so as to reduce sound leakage during the audio output process, thereby improving the audio output effect of the electronic device.

[0096] Accordingly, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the electronic device can output an audio signal through the first audio hole, and at the same time control the audio path corresponding to the second audio hole to output a second inverted audio signal, so as to reduce the sound leakage problem during the audio output process, thereby improving the audio output effect of the electronic device.

[0097] The audio processing method of the embodiment of the present application obtains the opening and closing angle of the electronic device; if the opening and closing angle indicates that the electronic device is in an unfolded state, controls the audio path corresponding to the first audio hole to output a first inverted audio signal; if the opening and closing angle indicates that the electronic device is in a folded state, controls the audio path corresponding to the second audio hole to output a second inverted audio signal. This can improve the audio output quality of the electronic device.

[0098] The audio processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an audio processing device. In the embodiment of the present application, the audio processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the audio processing method executed by the audio processing device as an example.
