The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0032] It is understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application may be used herein to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first metal strip may be referred to as a second metal strip, and similarly, a second metal strip may be referred to as a first metal strip. Both the first metal strip and the second metal strip are metal strips, but they are not the same metal strip.

[0033] It is understandable that "at least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more. "At least a part of an element" refers to part or all of an element.

[0034] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0035] This application provides an electronic device, as shown in FIG1, including: a body 100, a housing 200, a decorative part 300, a motion monitoring sensor 400, and a processing circuit 500.

[0036] The housing 200 is disposed opposite to the body 100. This arrangement means that after the housing 200 and body 100 are connected, the housing 200 is located on one side of the body 100. For example, the housing 200 can be the back cover of an electronic device, which also includes a display screen. An installation space can be formed between the back cover and the display screen to accommodate the body 100, and the housing 200 is located on the side of the body 100 furthest from the display screen.

[0037] The decorative element 300 is located on the side of the housing 200 away from the main body 100 and is rotatably connected to the housing 200. After the housing 200 is connected to the main body 100, the user can easily rotate the decorative element 300. For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the user can rotate the decorative element 300 with their index and middle fingers while holding the phone with one hand, making operation convenient.

[0038] A motion monitoring sensor 400 is disposed on the body 100 and is used to output a sensing signal characterizing the positional change of the decorative element 300 relative to the body 100. The motion monitoring sensor 400 refers to a sensor that can detect the rotation of the decorative element 300. Since the relative position between the housing 200 and the body 100 remains constant, and the decorative element 300 is disposed on the housing 200, the relative position of the decorative element 300 and the body 100 changes accordingly during the rotation of the decorative element 300. The type of sensing signal is related to the type of motion monitoring sensor 400, but all types of sensing signals can characterize the relative positional change between the decorative element 300 and the body 100.

[0039] The processing circuit 500 is connected to the motion monitoring sensor component 400. The processing circuit 500 is used to execute electronic device control actions that match the sensor signals. The processing circuit 500 refers to a circuit capable of recognizing sensor signals and executing electronic device control actions. The form of the processing circuit 500 may differ in different electronic devices, but any circuit capable of achieving this function falls within the scope of protection of this case. There is a mapping relationship between the sensor signals and the electronic device control actions, which can be set at the factory or by the user. The electronic device control actions can be background control operations performed to adjust the functional parameters of the electronic device.

[0040] In this embodiment, when using the electronic device, the user can rotate the decorative piece 300 on the housing 200 to change its relative position with the main body 100. During this process, the motion monitoring sensor 400 detects the change in the relative position between the decorative piece 300 and the main body 100 and outputs a corresponding sensing signal to the processing circuit 500. Based on the received sensing signal, the processing circuit 500 can obtain the amount of change in the relative position between the decorative piece 300 and the main body 100, thereby determining the corresponding electronic device control action and executing the electronic device control action. That is, the user only needs to rotate the decorative piece 300 to control the electronic device without having to perform complex operations such as parameter setting or two-finger zoom on the screen, thus improving the convenience of the user in operating the electronic device.

[0041] Especially for large-screen electronic devices, users can operate the decorative piece 300 on the back of the housing 200 (the side of the housing 200 away from the main body 100) while holding the electronic device in their palm, making operation convenient. Furthermore, while operating the decorative piece 300, users can observe changes in the screen content in real time. For example, when the electronic device is adjusting the focus of the camera module 700, users can observe the focused image effect on the screen in real time while holding the electronic device to take a picture and adjusting the focus through the decorative piece 300, allowing for quick adjustment to the desired effect and improving control efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, the motion monitoring sensor 400 is in contact with the decorative element 300, and as the position of the decorative element 300 relative to the body 100 changes, the contact position between the motion monitoring sensor 400 and the decorative element 300 changes accordingly to generate a sensing signal. That is, this sensing signal characterizes the change in the contact position between the motion monitoring sensor 400 and the decorative element 300, and the change in contact position corresponds to the change in the position of the decorative element 300 relative to the body 100. Therefore, this sensing signal reflects the user's operational intention regarding the electronic device, and the processing circuit 500 can adjust the electronic device based on this sensing signal, making the process simple, quick, and convenient for user operation.

[0043] In one embodiment, the motion monitoring sensor 400 and the decorative element 300 are spaced apart, and as the position of the decorative element 300 relative to the body 100 changes, the physical parameters obtained by the motion monitoring sensor 400 from the decorative element 300 change accordingly to generate a sensing signal.

[0044] Physical parameters refer to parameters that describe the physical properties of an object. The physical parameters obtained from the decorative element 300 can be electrical energy, images, wave signals, etc., without limitation. When the obtained physical parameter is electrical energy, it should be understood that the change in the physical parameter here refers to a change in the electrical energy transfer between the motion monitoring sensor 400 and the decorative element 300. For example, changes in the transfer of electromagnetic waves, electric charge, etc., will lead to changes in the capacitance, inductance, magnetic field strength, and other signals sensed by the motion monitoring sensor 400. When the physical parameter is a wave signal, the physical parameter can refer to ultrasonic signals, light wave signals, etc., reflected by the decorative element 300.

[0045] Specifically, during the rotation of the decorative piece 300, the rotational position of the motion monitoring sensor 400 changes, and the acquired physical parameters also change. This change is transmitted to the processing circuit 500 as a sensing signal. This sensing signal represents the user's intention to operate the electronic device. Based on this sensing signal, the processing circuit 500 can execute the electronic device control action corresponding to the sensing signal (i.e., the electronic device control action that matches the user's operating intention). In this process, the user only needs to rotate the decorative piece 300 to achieve the purpose of electronic device control, which is simple and convenient.

[0046] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, a magnetic element 310 is provided on the decorative element 300. The magnetic element 310 is used to generate a magnetic field, and the magnetic field strength along the rotation direction of the decorative element 300 changes according to a preset rule. The motion monitoring sensing component 400 includes a magnetic induction sensor 410, which outputs a sensing signal corresponding to the magnetic field strength based on the magnetic field sensed during the rotation of the decorative element 300.

[0047] The interpretation of the magnetic field strength changing according to a preset rule along the rotation direction of the decorative element 300 can be that the magnetic field strength is different at different rotation positions of the decorative element 300, or that the magnetic field strength at different rotation positions of the decorative element 300 changes according to preset rules such as first increasing and then decreasing, or first decreasing and then increasing, but the magnetic field strength is the same at certain intervals. Regardless of the type of magnetic field strength change, the change in the relative position of the decorative element 300 with respect to the main body 100 during rotation can be detected. This preset rule can be stored in the processing circuit 500 so that the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative element 300 based on the sensing signal output by the magnetic induction sensor 410, and then execute electronic device control actions matched with the sensing signal.

[0048] During the rotation of the decorative element 300, the relative position of the magnetic element 310 on the decorative element 300 with respect to the magnetic induction sensor 410 changes. Therefore, the magnetic field strength sensed by the magnetic induction sensor 410 changes accordingly, and the sensing signal output by the magnetic induction sensor 410 reflects this change in magnetic field strength. Based on this, after receiving the sensing signal, the processing circuit 500 can execute the electronic device control action corresponding to the sensing signal according to the mapping relationship between the sensing signal, the change in magnetic field strength, the change in the relative position between the decorative element 300 and the main body 100, and the electronic device control action.

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the magnetic component 310 includes alternating first magnetic poles 311 and second magnetic poles 312 along the circumference of the decorative component 300, with the first magnetic poles 311 and second magnetic poles 312 having opposite polarities. When the first magnetic pole 311 is an N magnetic pole, the second magnetic pole 312 is an S magnetic pole (as shown in Figure 2). When the first magnetic pole 311 is an S magnetic pole, the second magnetic pole 312 is an N magnetic pole. The decorative component 300 can be circular or elliptical, with alternating first magnetic poles 311 and second magnetic poles 312 of opposite polarities along its circumference. Therefore, when the decorative component 300 rotates, the magnetic induction sensor 410 can sense the change in the magnetic field generated by the rotation of the decorative component 300 and output a sensing signal, enabling the processing circuit 500 to determine and execute the electronic device control action corresponding to the sensing signal based on the sensing signal.

[0050] In one embodiment, the magnetic induction sensor 410 can be a Hall sensor. A Hall sensor measures the strength, direction, and polarity of a magnetic field. During the rotation of the decorative element 300, the magnetic field around the Hall sensor changes. For example, when the decorative element 300 has alternating N and S magnetic poles along its circumference, the Hall sensor can read the magnetic field changes generated during the rotation of the decorative element 300 and output an electrical signal characterizing these changes. The processing circuit 500 can calculate the N / S cycle, current magnetic field strength, and direction of the decorative element 300 based on this signal, thereby calculating the relative position change between the decorative element 300 and the body 100, and then determining and executing the electronic device control action corresponding to this relative position change. For example, when the control action is focusing the camera module 700, as the decorative element 300 rotates, the processing circuit 500 controls the camera module 700 to adjust to the magnification corresponding to the rotation angle, thus achieving focusing. By utilizing existing magnetic induction sensors such as Hall sensors in electronic devices, the hardware cost can be reduced while simultaneously enabling functional control of the decorative element 300.

[0051] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 are on the same plane. For example, the decorative element 300 may be circular in shape, and the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 are alternately distributed on the decorative element 300.

[0052] In one embodiment, on a plane parallel to the circumference, the widths of the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 are equal, and the width direction is parallel to the circumference. When the decorative element 300 is a circular decorative element 300, the equal widths of the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 can be understood as the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 having equal widths in the direction of the inner diameter circumference, with the inner diameter circumference of the decorative element 300 as a reference line. When the widths of the first magnetic pole 311 and the second magnetic pole 312 are equal (as shown in Figure 1), during the rotation of the decorative piece 300, the magnetic field strength curve sensed by the magnetic induction sensor 410 exhibits a symmetrical periodic change (as shown in Figure 2, with the rotation direction being F). The periodic XY-axis magnetic field strength (the magnetic field distribution in the XYZ-axis magnetic field spatial coordinate system shown in Figure 3) can be converted into the tangent angle ARCTAN(Y / X), resulting in the periodic tangent angle curve shown in Figure 4. It can be seen that within one cycle, the tangent angle corresponds to the relative displacement between the decorative piece 300 and the body 100 (the horizontal axis in the figure represents the rotation angle of the decorative piece 300). Therefore, when the user rotates the decorative piece 300, the Hall sensor only needs to calculate how many N-S cycles have passed and, based on the tangent angle shown in Figure 4, calculate the initial position (the rotation angle of the decorative piece 300 at the initial position may not be zero) and the stopping position (corresponding to the rotation angle at the stopping position). This allows the calculation of how many angles the decorative piece 300 has rotated (by subtracting the rotation angle at the initial position from the rotation angle at the stopping position). It helps to speed up calculations and improve control efficiency.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-6, the decorative element 300 includes a first metal strip 320, which is rotatably connected to the housing 200. The motion monitoring sensor component 400 includes a second metal strip 420, which is electrically connected to the processing circuit 500. The second metal strip 420 is disposed opposite to the first metal strip 320, and outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the relative position of the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 during the rotation of the decorative element 300.

[0054] The second metal strip 420 is mounted on the main body 100, and the relative position of the second metal strip 420 and the main body 100 remains unchanged. Therefore, the change in the relative position of the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 represents the change in the relative position of the decorative frame and the main body 100. During the rotation of the decorative piece 300, the relative position of the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 changes. This change in relative position will cause a change in the sensing signal output by the second metal strip 420, such as a change in electrical signals like capacitance and inductance. Based on the sensing signal received from the second metal strip 420, the processing circuit 500 can determine and execute the electronic device control action corresponding to the sensing signal.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5, both the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 are open-loop metal strips. The first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 are parallel and spaced apart on the same plane. The second metal strip 420 outputs a sensing signal corresponding to the capacitance value during the rotation of the decorative piece 300. The second metal strip 420 can be fixedly installed on the body 100. For example, when the decorative piece 300 is a decorative piece 300 around the camera module 700, the second metal strip 420 can be fixedly installed around the camera module 700.

[0056] For two parallel and spaced open-loop metal strips, the relative area mainly affects their capacitance value. During the rotation of the first metal strip 320, the relative area between the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 changes, which in turn causes a change in the capacitance value between the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420. That is, the change in capacitance value corresponds to the change in relative area, and the change in relative area is related to the rotation angle of the first metal strip 320. Based on this, the processing circuit 500 can determine and execute the electronic device control action that matches the sensing signal output by the second metal strip 420.

[0057] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG6, the first metal strip 320 and the second metal strip 420 are both closed-loop metal strips. The first metal strip 320 is connected to an AC signal. During the rotation of the first metal strip 320, the height of the first metal strip 320 relative to the plane where the second metal strip 420 is located changes. During the rotation of the decorative part 300, the second metal strip 420 outputs a sensing signal corresponding to the change of induced current.

[0058] The second metal strip 420 can be fixedly installed on the main body 100, and its position relative to the main body 100 remains unchanged. The first metal strip 320 can be connected to an AC signal via a signal line. When the first metal strip 320 is connected to an AC signal, the second metal strip 420 and the first metal strip 320 will have mutual inductance. During the rotation of the first metal strip 320, the height h of the first metal strip 320 relative to the plane where the second metal strip 420 is located changes (as shown in Figure 7). When the AC signal remains unchanged, the mutual inductance between the two closed-loop metal strips will change. Based on this change, the rotation angle of the decorative part 300 (the rotation angle of the first metal ring) can be determined. Therefore, the processing circuit 500 can determine and execute the electronic device control action based on the sensing signal characterizing the change in the induced current of the second metal strip 420. For example, focusing and other control actions. In the electronic device provided in this application embodiment, the correspondence between sensing signals and electronic device control actions can be predefined in the processing circuit 500. For example, when the sensing signal indicates that the decorative part 300 rotates clockwise (taking the view from the side of the housing 200 away from the main body 100 as an example), the electronic device control action corresponds to magnifying the focal length of the camera module 700, and the magnification ratio is positively correlated with the clockwise rotation angle of the decorative part 300. Alternatively, when the sensing signal indicates that the decorative part 300 rotates counterclockwise (taking the view from the side of the housing 200 away from the main body 100 as an example), the electronic device control action corresponds to reducing the focal length of the camera module 700, and the reduction ratio is positively correlated with the counterclockwise rotation angle of the decorative part 300. Of course, this is only an example for illustration. The configuration of the correspondence between sensing signals and electronic device control actions can be pre-configured based on user habits, or it can support personalized definitions by users.

[0059] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 500 is further configured to provide an alternating current signal with a frequency different from the communication frequency of the electronic device. By distinguishing the communication frequency with the electronic device, interference signals during the execution of the electronic device's control actions can be eliminated. The frequency of the metal strip through which the alternating current signal is passed can be specifically set to a predetermined frequency so that interference signals can be quickly identified based on the induced current.

[0060] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 500 is also used to provide an AC signal whose frequency varies according to a preset rule. The preset rule may be pre-configured and stored in the processing circuit 500. After receiving the sensing signal output by the second metal strip 420, the processing circuit 500 can determine whether it is an interference signal based on the analysis of the induced current (which should also vary according to the preset rule), thereby improving the response accuracy during the control of electronic devices using the decorative part 300.

[0061] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 8-9, the decorative element 300 is provided with an annular grating structure 330.

[0062] The motion monitoring sensor 400 is electrically connected to the processing circuit 500. The motion monitoring sensor 400 is used to project emitted waves to the annular grid structure 330 and output a sensing signal based on the reflected waves received by the annular grid structure 330 during the rotation of the decorative piece 300.

[0063] As shown in Figure 10, the motion monitoring sensor 400 is positioned such that the emitted wave can be projected onto one of the grids of the annular grid structure 330, and the wave reflected by that grid can be received (F in the figure represents the rotation direction of the decorative element). The smaller the width of each grid on the annular grid structure 330, the higher the accuracy of the processing circuit 500 in determining the relative position change between the decorative element 300 and the body 100 based on the sensing signal. Conversely, the larger the width of each grid, the lower the accuracy of the processing circuit 500 in determining the relative position change between the decorative element 300 and the body 100 based on the sensing signal. However, the width of each grid should not be too small to avoid failing to achieve wave emission and reflection. In an optional embodiment, the width of each grid in the annular grid structure 330 is equal. In this case, the processing circuit 500 can calculate the number of reflected echoes based on the sensing signal. This number is correlated with the angle through which the annular grid structure 330 has rotated, thereby determining the rotation angle of the decorative element 300 and further determining the electronic device control action matched with this rotation angle. For example, the size of this rotation angle can be correlated with the magnification of the 700 zoom of the camera module, such as a linear relationship.

[0064] In one embodiment, the motion monitoring sensing component 400 includes one of a photoelectric sensor and an ultrasonic sensor.

[0065] When the motion monitoring sensing component 400 includes a photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor can emit light waves to the annular grid structure 330. During the rotation of the annular grid structure 330, the light waves projected by the photoelectric sensor sequentially strike the grids that have passed their light projection positions, and are reflected back to the photoelectric sensor by each grid. The sensing signal output by the photoelectric sensor reflects the number of reflected light waves received, i.e., the number of grids the annular grid structure 330 on the decorative component 300 has passed. Since the structure is fixed, the number of grids corresponding to the rotation angle is also fixed. Based on this, the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative component 300 according to the sensing signal and determine the electronic device control action matched to that rotation angle. Exemplarily, the photoelectric sensor can include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter projects light waves, and the receiver receives light waves and converts them into electrical signals for output. In an optional embodiment, the transmitter can be an LED (Light Emitting Diode); exemplarily, the light waves emitted by the photoelectric sensor can be invisible light such as infrared light to avoid negatively impacting the user's use of the electronic device.

[0066] When the motion monitoring sensing component 400 includes an ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic sensor can emit ultrasonic waves to the annular grid structure 330. During the rotation of the annular grid structure 330, the ultrasonic waves projected by the ultrasonic sensor sequentially hit the grids that have passed its light projection position, and are reflected back to the ultrasonic sensor by each grid. The sensing signal output by the ultrasonic sensor can reflect the number of reflected ultrasonic waves received, that is, the number of grids that the annular grid structure 330 on the decorative part 300 has passed. When the structure is determined, the number of grids corresponding to the rotation angle is determined. Based on this, the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative part 300 according to the sensing signal, and determine the electronic control action of the electronic device that matches the rotation angle.

[0067] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG11, the motion monitoring sensor component 400 includes a camera 430. This camera 430 is distinct from the camera module 700 used to capture images in the electronic device and can be an additionally configured functional camera 430.

[0068] The camera 430 is mounted on the main body 100, so its relative position to the main body 100 remains unchanged. Furthermore, the camera 430's field of view covers the area where the decorative element 300 is located. As the decorative element 300 rotates, the camera 430 outputs a sensing signal indicating a change in the image at its shooting position. Based on this sensing signal, the processing circuit 500 can determine the image change. Since the image change is related to the rotation angle of the decorative element 300, the processing circuit 500 can determine and execute electronic device control actions matching the sensing signal output by the camera 430.

[0069] In one embodiment, the decorative element 300 has different physical parameters at different rotational positions, including at least one of pixels, light transmittance, reflectance, and pattern. The sensing signal output by the camera 430 corresponds to at least one of pixel change information, light transmittance change information, reflectance change information, and pattern change information of the image captured by the camera 430.

[0070] When the number of pixels on the decorative part 300 differs at different rotational positions, the camera 430 can be a black-and-white camera 430 or a camera 430 with pixel recognition function. The position of the camera 430 remains unchanged. When the decorative part 300 rotates, the pixel image captured by the camera 430 changes. The sensor signal that can characterize this change is output to the processing circuit 500. By analyzing the sensor signal, the processing circuit 500 can calculate how many pixels have been displaced per unit time. Based on the number of pixels displaced per unit time, the rotation angle of the decorative part 300 can be calculated, and the electronic device control action matching the rotation angle can be further determined.

[0071] When the light transmittance of the decorative element 300 differs at different rotational positions, the camera 430 can be a color camera, such as an RGB camera. During the rotation of the decorative element 300, the light transmittance parameter shown in the image captured by the camera 430 also changes. The sensor signal output by the camera 430 can characterize this change. Therefore, the processing circuit 500 can determine the change in light transmittance by analyzing the sensor signal output by the camera 430, thereby determining the rotation angle of the decorative element 300 corresponding to the change in light transmittance. After determining the rotation angle of the decorative element 300, the processing circuit 500 can execute electronic control actions matched to that rotation angle.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 12, the decorative element 300 can be divided into multiple regions along the circumference (different gray levels in the figure represent different regions). For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the decorative element 300 can be divided into 16 regions, but it is not limited to 16. The light transmittance coefficient of each region is different and can vary in gradient. When the camera 430 takes a picture, it can detect the gradient change of the light transmittance coefficient and output a sensing signal that reflects this gradient change, which is then used by the processing circuit 500 to determine the rotation angle of the decorative element 300.

[0073] When the reflectivity of the decorative element 300 differs at different rotational positions, a color camera 430 can also be used for the camera 430. In this case, as shown in Figure 13, a light source 600 can be placed near the camera 430. This light source 600 is used to emit light signals to the decorative element 300. Both the light source 600 and the camera 430 can be fixed to the body 100. During the rotation of the decorative element 300, the camera 430 detects changes in the reflected light and outputs a sensing signal characterizing these changes. The processing circuit 500 analyzes this sensing signal to determine the change in reflected light. Since the change in reflected light on the decorative element 300 is correlated with the rotation angle of the decorative element 300, the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative element 300 corresponding to the sensing signal and further determine the electronic device control action corresponding to this rotation angle.

[0074] When the pattern of the decorative part 300 is different at different rotation positions, the camera 430 can also be a color camera 430. During the rotation of the decorative part 300, the camera 430 detects the change of pattern features (one or more of the features such as color, pattern shape, grayscale, etc.) on the decorative part 300, and outputs a sensing signal that can characterize the change to the processing circuit 500, so that the processing circuit 500 can perform electronic device control actions according to the sensing signal.

[0075] When the reflectance coefficient and pattern are different, the decorative part 300 can be divided into multiple regions along its circumference, as described in the above embodiments, and each region has different physical parameters.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG14, the motion monitoring sensor 400 further includes a supplementary light 440.

[0077] A supplementary light 440 is positioned close to the camera 430 and is used to provide supplementary light source 600 for the camera 430. By setting the supplementary light 440, the clarity of the image captured by the camera 430 can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the processing circuit 500 in analyzing the physical parameters carried in the image based on the sensor signal, which is beneficial for controlling the electronic device according to the user's expected control actions.

[0078] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 15-18, one of the decorative element 300 and the motion monitoring sensing component 400 includes a ring sensor H, and the other includes a contact detector T. The ring sensor H outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the contact position of the contact detector T during the rotation of the decorative element 300.

[0079] The decorative element 300 may include a ring-shaped sensor H, and the motion monitoring sensor component 400 may include a contact detector T; alternatively, the motion monitoring sensor component 400 may include a ring-shaped sensor H, and the decorative element 300 may include a contact detector T. The relative position of the ring-shaped sensor H or the contact detector T included in the motion monitoring sensor component 400 with the body 100 remains unchanged, and it can be fixedly mounted on the body 100. During the rotation of the decorative element 300, the contact position of the contact detector T on the ring-shaped sensor H changes, and the sensing signal output by the ring-shaped sensor H can characterize this change. Therefore, the processing circuit 500 can determine the distance between the initial and final contact positions of the contact detector T on the ring-shaped sensor H based on this sensing signal, thereby determining the rotation angle of the decorative element 300, and then determining and executing an electronic device control action matching this rotation angle.

[0080] It should be noted that in the electronic devices provided in this application embodiment, the processing circuit 500 can store the mapping relationship between sensing signals and electronic device control actions. It can also store the mapping relationship between sensing signals, rotation angles, and electronic device control actions.

[0081] In one embodiment, the ring sensor H includes one of a resistive ring and a ring pressure sensor.

[0082] When the ring sensor H is a resistive ring, as shown in Figures 15-16, the resistive ring can be part of the motion monitoring sensing component 400, and the contact probe T is part of the decorative component 300. A point on the ring sensor H can be connected to the processing circuit 500, and the contact probe T is also connected to the processing circuit 500 to form a loop. During the rotation of the decorative component 300, the resistance value connected to this loop changes. Based on the correlation between the rotation angle of the decorative component 300 and the change in resistance value, the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative component 300 based on the sensing signal output by the ring sensor H, and then determine the electronic device control action matched to that rotation angle. Alternatively, a voltage divider design can be used. During the rotation of the decorative part 300, when the contact probe T rotates to different positions of the annular resistor ring, the voltage divider detected by the contact probe T will be different, and then a sensing signal that can characterize this change will be output to the processing circuit 500, so that the processing circuit 500 can determine the rotation angle of the decorative part 300.

[0083] Among them, the ring sensor H can be an open-loop sensor, such as a semi-circular arc-shaped magnet; the ring sensor H can also be a closed-loop sensor, such as a circular arc-shaped magnet.

[0084] When the annular sensor H is an annular pressure sensor, as shown in Figures 17-18, the annular pressure sensor can be part of the motion monitoring sensing component 400, and the contact probe T can be part of the decorative component 300. During the rotation of the decorative component 300, the annular pressure sensor senses the pressure from the contact probe T at different positions and outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the pressure position to the processing circuit 500. The processing circuit 500 then determines and executes an electronic device control action matching the sensing signal based on this signal.

[0085] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG19, the decorative element 300 includes a first metal sheet 340 fixed to a housing 200, and a second metal sheet 350 rotatably connected to the housing 200. When the second metal sheet 350 rotates relative to the first metal sheet 340, the projected overlap area between the second metal sheet 350 and the first metal sheet 340 changes accordingly. A motion monitoring sensor 400 outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the projected overlap area during the rotation of the second metal sheet 350.

[0086] The motion monitoring sensor 400 can be a sensing element such as a wireless charging coil 450. When the overlapping area of ​​the projections between the first metal plate 340 and the second metal plate 350 changes, it will affect the sensing signal sensed by the motion monitoring sensor 400; that is, the sensing signal changes synchronously with the change of the overlapping area. Based on this, the processing circuit 500 can determine the relative position change between the first metal plate 340 and the second metal plate 350 based on the received sensing signal. Since the first metal plate 340 is fixed to the housing 200, and the housing 200 is positioned opposite to the body 100, the relative position change between the second metal plate 350 and the body 100 can be determined. In an optional embodiment, the first metal plate 340 can be fixed to the housing 200 by magnetic attraction, adhesion, or other means.

[0087] In one embodiment, the motion monitoring sensor 400 includes a wireless charging coil 450. When the user rotates the second metal plate 350, the total area of ​​the first metal plate 340 and the second metal plate 350 changes, and the Q value (quality factor, which is the ratio of the inductive reactance to the equivalent loss resistance of the wireless charging coil 450 when operating under AC voltage at a certain frequency) of the wireless charging coil 450 changes accordingly. A sensing signal reflecting this Q value change is output to the processing circuit 500. Based on this correspondence, the processing circuit 500 can determine the change in the total area of ​​the first metal plate 340 and the second metal plate 350, thereby determining the rotation angle of the second metal plate 350. The rotation angle represents the user's intention to control the electronic device. This relationship can be obtained by reading a pre-stored sensor signal-control action mapping relationship, and then executing an electronic device control action matching the sensor signal.

[0088] For example, when a user takes a photo using the camera module 700, rotating the decorative piece 300 on the back of the electronic device with their finger causes the second metal plate 350 to rotate accordingly. Simultaneously, the wireless charging coil 450 outputs a sensing signal that characterizes the change in Q value. The processing circuit 500 determines the focus level based on this sensing signal and executes a focusing action on the camera module 700 that matches the sensing signal. During the adjustment process, the user can observe the effect after focusing on the photo's interface. Of course, the adjustment actions can also include operations such as rotating the photo angle, which are not limited here.

[0089] In one embodiment, the first metal sheet 340 can be fan-shaped. The second metal sheet 350 can be fan-shaped.

[0090] In one embodiment, there may be multiple first metal sheets 340. There may also be multiple second metal sheets 350.

[0091] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG20, the second metal plate 350 can also rotate in a direction away from the housing 200, forming a non-zero angle with the plane of the housing 200. In this case, the second metal plate 350 can support the housing 200 and the body 100, acting as a support for the electronic device.

[0092] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG19, the electronic device further includes a camera module 700. The camera module 700 is disposed on the body 100. A decorative element 300 surrounds the camera module 700. The decorative element 300, such as a decorative ring, surrounding the camera module 700 can be configured as a rotatable structure to enable the electronic device's control operation. This ensures that the overall appearance of the electronic device remains unchanged and that its external size is not increased, while still providing convenient control. Furthermore, its placement on the camera module 700 allows the user to rotate the decorative element 300 using their index and middle fingers when holding the electronic device with one hand, further improving user convenience.

[0093] Camera module 700 refers to a functional module in electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets that includes one or more cameras for capturing images.

[0094] In one embodiment, the electronic device control actions performed by the processing circuit 500 include at least one of focusing the camera module 700, adjusting interface content, and adjusting volume. Of course, the electronic device control actions are not limited to the examples given here, and can also be control actions that implement other defined functions of the electronic device.

[0095] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 500 is further configured to identify functions enabled by the electronic device and execute control actions matching the sensing signals for those functions. By identifying enabled functions, control actions for those functions can be determined. For example, when the processing circuit 500 detects that the electronic device is activating the camera module 700, the control action could be focusing the camera module 700. When the processing circuit 500 detects that the electronic device is activating video playback software, the control action could be one of interface content adjustment (including but not limited to playing the next episode, full-screen playback, original aspect ratio playback, brightness adjustment, etc.) or volume adjustment. The definition of the executed actions can be set based on user needs and is not exhaustive here.

[0096] In one embodiment, the housing 200 includes a back cover. For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the back cover is the battery back cover of the mobile phone. The control function of the electronic device can be realized by installing a decorative piece 300 on the back cover. Installing the decorative piece 300 on the back cover conforms to the user's usage habits, and the user can rotate the decorative piece 300 when holding the electronic device.

[0097] In one embodiment, an electronic device system is provided, including: the aforementioned electronic device and a protective case.

[0098] The protective shell has rotating structures on both sides. When the protective shell is connected to the housing, the rotating structures and the decorative parts rotate synchronously. The rotating structures on both sides of the protective shell can be understood as follows: when the protective shell is connected to the housing, there is a partial rotating structure on the side closer to the housing and a partial rotating structure on the side farther from the housing. This allows the user to rotate the rotating structure on the side farther from the housing, while the rotating structure on the side closer to the housing causes the decorative parts to rotate synchronously.

[0099] In one embodiment, an electronic device system is also provided, including: an electronic device, a housing, and a decorative element.

[0100] The electronic device includes a body, a motion monitoring sensor, and a processing circuit; the motion monitoring sensor is disposed on the body, and the processing circuit is connected to the motion monitoring sensor. For a description of the body, motion monitoring sensor, and processing circuit in the electronic device, please refer to the description in the above-described electronic device embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] The housing and the main body are positioned relative to each other. This relative positioning can be understood as the housing and the main body maintaining their relative positions when they are mated and connected. The mating connection method can be a socket, snap-fit, etc., as seen in common connection methods between electronic devices and housings. The housing can be a protective casing used to protect the electronic device from damage; for example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the housing can be a mobile phone case.

[0102] The decorative element is located on the side of the housing away from the main body and is rotatably connected to the housing. During the rotation of the decorative element, the motion monitoring sensor outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the position of the decorative element relative to the main body. The processing circuit is used to execute electronic control actions that match the sensing signal based on the sensing signal.

[0103] The implementation scheme for the decorative parts on the housing to cooperate with the motion monitoring and sensing components to realize the output of sensing signals, as well as the structural selection of the decorative parts and the selection of the motion monitoring and sensing components, can be found in the above-mentioned embodiments of the electronic device, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] In one embodiment, the decorative element includes a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet that are rotatable relative to each other.

[0105] The first metal plate is fixed to the side of the housing away from the decorative element, while the second metal plate is rotatably connected to the housing. As the second metal plate rotates relative to the first metal plate, the overlapping area of ​​their projected projections changes accordingly. A motion monitoring sensor outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the overlapping projection area during the rotation of the second metal plate.

[0106] The process of controlling the electronic device under the configuration of the first and second metal plates can be found in the description of the above-described electronic device embodiments, and will not be repeated here. By setting the first and second metal plates on the housing, and in conjunction with motion monitoring sensors and software improvements in the electronic device, the control function of the electronic device can be achieved. This method eliminates the need for hardware modifications to the electronic device and can be widely applied to various models of electronic devices already in use on the market.

The first metal plate is fixed to the main body, and the second metal plate is rotatably connected to the main body. When the second metal plate rotates relative to the first metal plate, the overlapping area of ​​their projected images changes accordingly.

[0111] The motion monitoring sensor outputs a sensing signal characterizing the change in the projected overlapping area during the rotation of the second metal sheet.

[0112] In one embodiment, the motion monitoring sensor includes a wireless charging coil. In the electronic device system provided in this application embodiment, the wireless charging coil, based on Q-value detection, realizes the process of measuring the rotation angle of the second metal piece in the decorative component.
