[0036] The light emitting device, the electronic device, and the conference device according to the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features of the embodiments and the embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] The present disclosure proposes a light emitting device, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which comprises a light transmitting part 11, a light emitting part 2, and a light guiding part 3. The light transmitting part 11 is arranged on a housing 1. The light emitting part 2 is arranged in the housing 1 and is arranged correspondingly to the light transmitting part 11. The light guiding part 3 is arranged between the light transmitting part 11 and the light emitting part 2, and can shield a part of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from being projected to the light transmitting part 11. Another part of the light is transmitted to the light transmitting part 11 through the light guiding part 3 to display a target pattern 12.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in some illustrative embodiments, the light transmitting part 11 of the housing 1 is made of a translucent material, which can allow the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 to be transmitted outwardly through the light transmitting part 11. For example, the translucent material can be polycarbonate, acrylic resin, silica gel film, fiber glass, or organic glass, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0040] In some illustrative embodiments, the color of the light transmitting part 11 and the housing 1 is the same color system. Since the light transmitting part 11 is made of a translucent material, the color of the light transmitting part 11 should be configured to be darker than the color of the light emitting part 2 and the light guiding part 3 arranged in the housing 1, so that the light emitting part 2 and the light guiding part 3 cannot be seen from the outside of the housing 1 (i.e., the user cannot see the light emitting part 2 and the light guiding part 3 inside when normally observing the light emitting device from the outside, or cannot obviously see the light emitting part 2 and the light guiding part 3), so that the light emitting device is more beautiful.

[0041] In some illustrative embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 11 can be a side of the housing 1 (in FIG. 1, located at the lower end surface of the light-emitting device, not shown) or a partial region on the side of the housing 1. The partial region of the housing 1 includes, but is not limited to, a substantially rectangular region, a substantially circular region, a substantially point-like region, or a substantially annular region, and should be specifically adapted to the light-emitting portion 2 and can display a suitable target pattern.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the light-transmitting portion 11 has the same material as the housing 1. The light-transmitting portion 11 can be a part of the housing 1 and integrally connected with the housing 1, and the light-transmitting portion 11 is substantially flush with the appearance surface of the housing 1 to form a part of the appearance surface of the housing 1. Of course, the light-transmitting portion 11 can also be inwardly recessed to form a curved surface, so that the light-transmitting portion 11 also has an optical effect of scattering and / or refracting light. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0043] In some illustrative embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 11 can also be independent of the housing 1 and mounted on the housing 1, for example, the light-transmitting portion 11 includes, but is not limited to, being mounted on the housing 1 by bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method to form a part of the appearance surface of the housing.

[0044] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the light-emitting portion 2 is disposed in the housing 1 and corresponds to the light-transmitting portion 11 (in FIG. 3, the light-emitting portion 3 is disposed above the light-transmitting portion 11 and downward), so that the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 2 is transmitted outward through the light-transmitting portion 11 and displays a target pattern 12 on the light-transmitting portion 11. The light-emitting portion 2 includes, but is not limited to, being mounted in the housing 1 by bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method.

[0045] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the light-guiding portion 3 is disposed between the light-transmitting portion 11 and the light-emitting portion 2. The shape of the light-guiding portion 3 cooperates with the shape of the light-emitting portion 2. In detail, a first surface 311 of the light-guiding portion 3 corresponding to the light-emitting portion 2 forms a partially recessed groove, so that the part of the light-emitting portion 2 protruding from the first surface 311 is embedded in the groove. Further, a second surface 312 of the light-guiding portion 3 corresponding to the light-transmitting portion 11 is also adaptively designed to the inner surface structure of the housing 1 and / or the light-transmitting portion 11, so that the light-guiding portion 3 is tightly limited between the light-transmitting portion 11 and the light-emitting portion 2.

[0046] In the embodiment, the light guide part 3 is arranged between the light transmission part 11 and the light emitting part 2, and can shield part of the light projected by the light emitting part 2 to the light transmission part 11, while another part of the light is transmitted from the light guide part to the light transmission part 11 to display the target pattern 12, so as to avoid the light projected from the light emitting part 2 to the area other than the target pattern 12, and affect the display effect of the target pattern 12, thereby improving the display effect of the light emitting device. In addition, the light transmission part 11 of the shell 1 covers the light emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3, so that there is no color difference outside the shell 1, thereby improving the appearance of the overall appearance of the light emitting device.

[0047] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitting part 2 has a first state of emitting light. In the first state of the light emitting part 2, the target pattern 12 is displayed on the light transmission part 11.

[0048] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitting part 2 has a second state of being extinguished. In the second state of the light emitting part 2, the target pattern 12 disappears on the light transmission part 11.

[0049] In some illustrative embodiments, when the light emitting part 2 is in a powered state, the light emitting part 2 is in the first state of emitting light, and the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is projected on the light transmission part 11 through the light guide part 3, so as to display the target pattern 12 on the light transmission part 11 of the translucent material. When the light emitting part 2 is in a powered-off state, the light emitting part 2 is in the second state of being extinguished, and the light emitting part 2 does not emit light, and the target pattern 12 is not displayed on the light transmission part 11.

[0050] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the light emitting part 2 includes an electrical connecting part 21 and at least one light emitting part 22, and the light emitting part 22 is arranged on the electrical connecting part 21, and the electrical connecting part 21 is configured to connect the light emitting part 22 with the circuit.

[0051] In some illustrative embodiments, the electrical connecting part 21 can be a circuit board, and the electrical connecting part 21 is configured to connect the light emitting part 22 with the circuit. The circuit board can be a flexible circuit board (i.e., FPC) or a rigid circuit board (i.e., PCB), which is not limited herein. Specifically, the flexible circuit board can be bent and deformed, so that the light emitting part 2 is installed more closely, and the gap generated at the connection position of the electrical connecting part 21 and the light guide part 3 is reduced, thereby reducing the overflow of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from the gap at the connection position of the light emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3, avoiding the interference with the display of the target pattern 12, and improving the display effect of the target pattern 12. The shape of the electrical connecting part 21 is set according to actual requirements.

[0052] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitting part 22 can be a point light source, a line light source or a surface light source, etc. Specifically, the light emitting part 22 can be a lamp particle, a lamp bead, a lamp strip, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the light emitting member 22 can be an LED. In detail, in order to make the light emitting part 2 emit light of different colors, a multi-color LED can be used as the light emitting member. The colors that the light emitting member 22 can emit include, but are not limited to, red, green, blue, and a combination of at least two of the three colors.

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, the light emitting part 2 is located in the housing 1. The electrical connection member 21 of the light emitting part 2 includes, but is not limited to, being connected to (and electrically connected to) the light guide part 3 by welding, by conductive glue, or other means. The light emitting member 22 of the light emitting part 2 corresponds to the light guide part 3, so that the light emitted by the light emitting member 22 is projected to the light transmitting part 11 through the light guide part 3.

[0055] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the light emitting part 2 includes a plurality of light emitting members 22 arranged in an array on the electrical connection member 21.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the position of the electrical connection member 21 for mounting the light emitting member 22 is generally annular, and of course the electrical connection member 21 can also be linear, rectangular, circular, oval, racetrack-shaped, polygonal, and other graphics with a characterizing meaning (such as a LOGO), etc., which are not limited herein. The plurality of light emitting members 22 can be distributed continuously and / or at intervals on the electrical connection member 21, as appropriate to meet different display effects.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the light guide part 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32. The first part 31 is configured to shield light, and the second part 32 allows light to be transmitted.

[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, the shape of the light guide part 3 is matched with the light emitting part 2 and is determined according to the shape of the target pattern 12. The first part 31 is made of a light shielding material, and the first part 31 is arranged at a position where light needs to be shielded. As shown in FIG. 4, the first part 31 includes an inner ring and an outer ring, and the outer ring is sleeved outside the inner ring. The first part 31 is configured to shield the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from being projected to the light transmitting part 11 or outside the light guide part 3.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, the second part 32 is arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring to guide the light to a position of the light transmitting part 11, allowing the light to be projected to the light transmitting part 11 through the second part 32 of the light guide part 3 to form the target pattern 12. In this way, by arranging the first part 31 and the second part 32, the overflow of light from the light transmitting part 11 is avoided, which affects the display effect of the target pattern 12, thereby improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0060] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first part 31 has a first face 311 (the upper end face of the first part in FIG. 3) and a second face 312 (the lower end face of the first part in FIG. 3) facing away from each other, the first face 311 corresponds to the light emitting part 2, and the second face 312 corresponds to the light transmitting part 11. A light guide channel 313 (i.e., the gap between the first ring and the second ring) is formed in the first part 31, which penetrates the first face 311 and the second face 312. The second part 32 is arranged in the light guide channel 313. Of course, it should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0061] For example, the light guide channel 313 can also be arranged obliquely or curvedly, which is not limited herein, as long as the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 can be transmitted to the light transmitting part 11 through the second part 32.

[0062] In some illustrative embodiments, the light transmitting part 11 can be oriented at any angle, for example, the light transmitting part 11 can be oriented leftward, rightward, upward at a preset angle with the horizontal line, downward at a preset angle with the horizontal line, and the like.

[0063] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape of the second part 32 of the light guide part 3 matches the shape of the light guide channel 313. The second part 32 is located in the light guide channel 313 and is attached to the inner wall of the light guide channel 313. The second part 32 is made of transparent material or light guide material, so that the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is guided to the light transmitting part 11 through the second part 32 in the light guide channel 313, thereby displaying the target pattern 12 on the light transmitting part 11.

[0064] In such an embodiment, the second part 32 is arranged to guide the light emitted by the light emitting part 2, so that the light of the target pattern 12 displayed on the light transmitting part 11 is more uniform, thereby improving the display effect of the light emitting device. The first part 31 avoids the light spilling out of the light guide channel 313 to affect the display effect of the target pattern 12, thereby further improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0065] In some illustrative embodiments, the second part 32 of the light guide part 3 can be omitted in the light guide channel 313 (i.e., the second part 32 is a hollow area of the light guide part 3 without other material filling), and the target pattern 12 can also be displayed on the light transmitting part 11.

[0066] In some illustrative embodiments, the first part 31 is made of a first material, and the second part 32 is made of a second material. The light transmittance of the first material is less than that of the second material. The first material can shield light and prevent the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from spilling outwards, so that the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is guided by the second part 32 to project onto the light transmitting part 11 to form the target pattern 12.

[0067] In detail, the first material is made of an opaque material capable of shielding light. For example, the first material can be non-transparent dark ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), non-transparent dark rubber, dark fabric, metal, light-shielding film, etc. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0068] For example, the first material can also adopt optical elements such as optical gratings or polarizing plates capable of controlling the direction and intensity of light, thereby shielding light.

[0069] The second material is made of a transparent material capable of guiding light to the light-transmitting part 11. For example, the second material can be PC (Polycarbonate), glass optical fiber, plastic optical fiber, etc. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0070] For example, the second material can also adopt photonic crystals or nano-photonic materials capable of guiding and controlling the propagation of light, so as to guide the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 to the light-transmitting part 11 and display the target pattern 12.

[0071] In some illustrative embodiments, the first material and the second material can also be the same material. The first material of the first part 31 is processed by sanding or coating with light-shielding material, etc., so that the light transmittance of the first material is less than that of the second material.

[0072] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional area of the light guide channel 313 at the first end of the first face 311 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area at the second end of the second face 312.

[0073] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional area of the light guide channel 313 gradually decreases from the first end (the upper end of the light guide channel 313 in FIG. 3) to the second end (the lower end of the light guide channel 313 in FIG. 3).

[0074] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case where the light-transmitting part 11 faces downward, the first end of the light guide channel 313 at the first face 311 (the upper surface of the first part 31 in FIG. 3) is the upper end. The second end of the light guide channel 313 at the second face 312 (the lower surface of the first part 31 in FIG. 3) is the lower end. The cross-sectional area of the upper end of the light guide channel 313 (or the opening width of the upper end of the light guide channel 313) is greater than the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the light guide channel 313 (or the opening width of the lower end of the light guide channel 313).

[0075] In such an embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the light guide channel 313 tapers from the first end to the second end, so that the light emitted by the light emitting portion 2 converges at the second end of the light guide channel 313, and the target pattern 12 displayed on the light transmitting portion 11 is clearer. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 can cover the cross-sectional area of the second end, so that the light emitted by the light emitting portion 2 is more evenly distributed in the light guide channel 313 at the second end, improving the display effect of the target pattern 12 on the light transmitting portion 11.

[0076] In some illustrative embodiments, the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 are integrally formed.

[0077] In some illustrative embodiments, the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 can be integrally formed by injection molding or by numerical control machining, without limitation. It should be understood that the processing method of the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 should be determined according to actual needs or the material of the first portion 31 and the second portion 32.

[0078] In some illustrative embodiments, the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 can also be two independent components, including but not limited to being connected to each other by adhesion, snap connection, interference configuration or any other connection method.

[0079] In some illustrative embodiments, the first portion 31 is formed by injection molding, and / or the second portion 32 is formed by injection molding.

[0080] In some illustrative embodiments, the formed second portion 32 can be placed in the injection molding model of the first portion 31 in advance, and then injection molding is performed in the injection molding model to process the first portion 31, so that the second portion 32 is embedded in the light guide channel 313 of the first portion 31.

[0081] In some illustrative embodiments, the second portion 32 can be formed by injection molding in the light guide channel 313 of the prefabricated first portion 31, so that the second portion 32 is embedded in the light guide channel 313 of the first portion 31.

[0082] In some illustrative embodiments, a draft angle is formed at the upper end of the light guide channel 313, which facilitates demolding and reduces the rejection rate of the light guide portion 3.

[0083] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape of the light guide channel 313 is determined according to the shape of the target pattern 12. For example, the shape of the light guide channel 313 can be point-shaped, cylindrical, cylindrical, conical, racetrack-shaped, special-shaped structure, etc., without limitation.

[0084] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is projected onto the light transmitting part 11 through the second end of the light guide channel 313 (the lower end surface of the first part 31 in FIG. 3), so that the target pattern 12 is displayed on the light transmitting part 11. Therefore, the shape and area of the second end of the light guide channel 313 are set according to the shape and area of the target pattern 12.

[0085] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 can be the same as the shape and area of the target pattern 12.

[0086] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 can also be different from the shape and area of the target pattern 12. For example, the cross-sectional area of the first end to the second end of the light guide channel 313 is tapered (i.e., the opening width of the upper end to the opening width of the lower end of the light guide channel 313 in FIG. 3 gradually decreases), so that the cross-sectional area of the first end is larger than that of the second end. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0087] For example, the cross-sectional area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 located at the first surface 311 can also be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second end located at the second surface 312. Further, the second part 32 in the light guide channel 313 can have a scattering effect to make the light more uniformly displayed in a larger range of the light transmitting part 11, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0088] In some illustrative embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the first end and the second end of the light guide channel 313 can completely coincide. The shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313, the shape and area of the second end of the light guide channel 313, and the shape and area of the target pattern 12 are all the same.

[0089] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the light emitting part 22 coincides with the projection of the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0090] In some illustrative embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312 (the lower end surface of the light guide part 3 in FIG. 3), the light emitting part 22 coincides with the projection of the first end (the upper end of the light guide channel 313 in FIG. 3) of the light guide channel 313, i.e., the light emitting part 22 is arranged in a front-to-back coinciding manner with the upper end of the light guide channel 313. In this way, the light emitted by the light emitting part 22 can propagate in the light guide channel 313 and be projected onto the light transmitting part 11 through the second part 32 of the light guide part 3, thereby avoiding the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 being blocked and affecting the display effect of the target pattern 12.

[0091] In some illustrative embodiments, due to the limited space of the housing 1, or the shape and size of the light emitting member 22 and the light guide channel 313, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the projection of the light emitting member 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313 can not coincide with each other, but can partially coincide. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0092] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitting device further comprises an optical assembly (not shown in the figure) disposed between the light emitting member 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313, and the optical assembly is configured to scatter and / or reflect the light projected by the light emitting member 22 to the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0093] In some illustrative embodiments, the optical assembly can be a grating, a scattering plate or a mirror, which can change the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2, so as to scatter and / or reflect the light projected by the light emitting member 22 to the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0094] In some illustrative embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the projection of the light emitting member 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313 can not coincide with each other. By the optical assembly disposed between the light emitting member 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313, the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is changed, so that the light is projected onto the light transmitting part 11 through the light guide channel 313 to display the target pattern 12.

[0095] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitting device further comprises a scattering part (not shown in the figure) disposed at the first end of the light guide channel 313, and the scattering part comprises a plurality of scattering elements arranged in an array, and the scattering elements are configured to transmit and scatter the light projected by the light emitting part 2.

[0096] In some illustrative embodiments, the scattering part can scatter the light emitted by the light emitting part 2, and disperse the light in different directions, so as to form diffuse light. For example, the scattering part can be milky white glass, frosted glass, a scattering sheet, a scattering plate, a grating, an optical dot, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0097] In some illustrative embodiments, the scattering part is disposed at the first end of the light guide channel 313, and the scattering part comprises a plurality of scattering elements arranged in an array. The arrangement of the plurality of scattering elements cooperates with the shape of the light emitting part 2, so as to transmit and scatter the light projected by the light emitting part 2.

[0098] In an alternative illustrative embodiment, the scattering part can also be one, and the shape of the scattering part is adapted to the shape of the light emitting part 2, and is disposed between the light emitting part 2 and the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0099] In such an embodiment, the scattering part is located at the first end of the light guide channel, transmits the light projected by the light emitting part, and disperses the light into different directions, so that the light distribution at the first end of the light guide channel is more uniform, and the light uniformity of the target pattern displayed on the light transmitting part is improved.

[0100] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the light emitting device further comprises a first light shielding part 4 disposed between the electrical connector 21 and the first surface 311, and a portion of the first light shielding part 4 corresponding to the first end of the light guide channel 313 is provided with a first light transmitting channel 41.

[0101] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first light shielding part 4 is disposed between the electrical connector 21 and the first surface 311 of the light guide part 3 (the upper end surface of the light guide part 3 in FIG. 3), and the first light transmitting channel 41 (the annular region of the first light shielding part 4 in FIG. 1) of the first light shielding part 4 corresponds to the first end of the light guide channel 313, allowing the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 to project into the light guide channel 313 through the first light transmitting channel 41 to form the target pattern 12 on the light transmitting part 11.

[0102] The first light shielding part 4 can be filled in the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, and block the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from overflowing from the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, thereby reducing the impact on the display effect of the light emitting device displaying the target pattern 12 and improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0103] In some illustrative embodiments, the first light shielding part 4 is made of a light shielding material, thereby blocking the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from overflowing from the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3. Further, the first light shielding part 4 is made of a flexible material and can be slightly deformed, thereby being more closely fitted between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, filling in the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, further improving the sealing of the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, reducing light overflow, and improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0104] For example, the first light shielding part 4 can be rubber, silicone, sponge, foam, dark fabric, etc. that can shield light, without being limited herein.

[0105] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape of the first light shielding part 4 cooperates with the shape of the light guide channel 313 and the light emitting part 2. The first light shielding part 4 can be substantially annular, circular, rectangular, etc., without being limited herein.

[0106] In some illustrative embodiments, the first light shielding part 4 is installed between the electrical connector 21 and the first surface 311 by screwing, bonding, buckling, or any other connection method.

[0108] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the second light shielding part 5 is disposed between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide part 3, and the second light transmitting channel 51 of the second light shielding part 5 corresponds to the second end of the light guide channel 313, allowing the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 to project onto the light transmitting part 11 through the second light transmitting channel 51 to form the target pattern 12.

[0109] In some illustrative embodiments, the second light shielding part 5 can be filled in the gap between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide part 3, blocking the light from overflowing from the gap between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide part 3, thereby reducing the impact of the overflowing light on the display effect of the target pattern 12 displayed by the light emitting device, and improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0110] In some illustrative embodiments, the second light shielding part 5 is made of a light shielding material. Further, the first light shielding part 4 is made of a flexible material that can be slightly deformed, thereby being more closely fitted between the housing 1 and the light guide part 3, thereby filling in the gap between the housing 1 and the light guide part 3, further improving the sealing of the housing 1 and the light guide part 3, reducing light overflow, and improving the display effect of the light emitting device.

[0111] For example, the second light shielding part 5 can be rubber, silicone, sponge, foam, dark fabric, etc. that can shield light, without being limited herein.

[0112] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape of the second light shielding part 5 is determined according to the target pattern 12 and the second end of the light guide channel 313. The second light shielding part 5 can be substantially annular, circular, rectangular, etc. without being limited herein.

[0113] In some illustrative embodiments, the second light shielding part 5 is installed between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide part 3 by screwing, bonding, buckling, or any other connection method.

[0114] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the part of the housing 1 other than the light transmitting part 11 is made of the same material as the light transmitting part 11.

In detail, the portion of the shell 1 other than the light-transmitting portion 11 and the light-transmitting portion 11 are both of a black translucent material.

[0116] In addition, in order to better shield the electronic devices inside the shell 1, the inner surface of the portion of the shell 1 other than the light-transmitting portion 11 can be coated with a light-shielding material, so as to reduce the light transmittance of the portion of the shell 1 other than the light-transmitting portion 11, thereby shielding the electronic devices inside the shell 1 and improving the aesthetic appearance of the light-emitting device.

[0117] In some illustrative embodiments, at least a portion of the shell 1 other than the light-transmitting portion 11 has a different material from the light-transmitting portion 11.

[0160] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the present disclosure further provides a conference device, which comprises the electronic device 6 and the shielding mechanism 9 as described above. The shielding mechanism 9 is arranged on the electronic device 6, and has a first state of shielding the camera 61 of the electronic device 6 and a second state of exposing the camera 61.

[0161] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the housing of the electronic device 6 is provided with a through hole 64 (the through hole 64 on the lower surface of the electronic device 6 in FIG. 9) exposing the imaging end (e.g., the camera lens) of the camera 61 to the external environment, so that the camera 61 can collect image information. The shielding mechanism 9 is installed at the position of the through hole 64 of the housing. When the camera 61 is in a non-working state, the shielding mechanism 9 is in a first state (closed state) covering the imaging end of the camera 61, avoiding the camera 61 from being exposed to the external environment. When the camera 61 is in a working state, the shielding mechanism 9 is in a second state (open state) exposing the imaging end of the camera 61 to the external environment, thereby allowing the camera 61 to collect image information.

[0162] In such embodiments, when the camera 61 is in a non-working state, the shielding device physically shields the imaging end of the camera 61, preventing the camera 61 from being exposed to the external environment, thereby avoiding accidental scratches or bumps of the camera 61, protecting the imaging end, and improving the privacy of the conference device.

[0163] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the shielding mechanism 9 includes at least one shielding sheet 91 and a driving mechanism 92. The at least one shielding sheet 91 is movably installed on the electronic device 6, and the shielding sheet 91 is located at a first position in the first state and at a second position in the second state. The driving mechanism 92 is configured to drive the shielding sheet 91 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0164] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 9, the first position refers to the shielding sheet 91 being located below the camera 61, closing the through hole 64 and shielding the camera 61, so that the shielding mechanism 9 is in the first state. The second position (not shown in the figure) refers to the shielding sheet 91 being located beside the camera 61, the shielding sheet 91 being completely opened, exposing the camera 61 at the through hole 64 to the external environment, so that the shielding mechanism 9 is in the second state.

[0165] In some illustrative embodiments, the shielding sheet 91 can be provided with one, and the area of the shielding sheet 91 is greater than the imaging end of the camera 61, so as to shield the imaging end of the camera 61.

[0166] In some illustrative embodiments, the shielding sheet 91 is rotatably installed on the electronic device 6 through a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is substantially parallel to the axis of the camera 61, and the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding sheet 91 to rotate around the rotating shaft to the first position or the second position.

[0167] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the shielding piece 91 can also be installed on the electronic device 6 through a sliding rail, and the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding piece 91 to slide to the first position or the second position.

[0168] In this way, when the shielding mechanism 9 is in the first position, the shielding piece 91 can completely shield the imaging end of the camera 61, and better protect the camera 61. When the camera 61 needs to collect image information, the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding piece 91 to move to the side of the camera 61, so that the imaging end of the camera 61 is exposed to the external environment at the position of the through hole 64. The shielding mechanism 9 is convenient to operate, and is convenient for the user to operate, so that the shielding mechanism 9 moves between the first position and the second position.

[0169] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the shielding piece 91 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of shielding pieces 91 are in contact with each other when in the first position, so as to cover the camera 61.

[0170] In some exemplary embodiments, the plurality of shielding pieces 91 are distributed around the imaging end of the camera 61, and the shielding piece 91 can be provided in two, three, four, five or six, which is not limited herein and can be set according to actual needs.

[0171] The plurality of shielding pieces 91 can be synchronously moved or sequentially moved under the driving of the driving mechanism 92, which is not limited herein. The plurality of shielding pieces 91 are in contact with each other when in the first position, so as to substantially cover the camera 61, that is, to protect the imaging end, and also improve the privacy of the conference equipment.

[0172] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, each shielding piece 91 comprises a first contact surface 911 formed outwardly protruding and a second contact surface 912 formed inwardly recessed, and the first contact surface 911 of the shielding piece 91 is in contact with the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding piece 91.

[0173] In such an embodiment, during the movement of the driving mechanism 92 to drive the shielding piece 91 to the first position, the plurality of shielding pieces 91 are close to the axis of the imaging end of the camera 61, the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding piece 91 are in contact with each other, the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 are in recessed and protruding cooperation, and the plurality of shielding pieces 91 are in cooperation like a windmill structure.

[0174] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 11, 12, 13 and 14, the first contact surface 911 extends outwardly to form a first extension 913, and the second contact surface 912 is recessed inwardly to form an accommodating groove 915. In the first position, the first extension 913 of the shielding sheet 91 is in contact with the accommodating groove 915 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91, and the first extension 913 is beyond the position where the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 are in contact with each other.

[0175] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the first extension 913 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the plane where the shielding sheet 91 is located. The accommodating groove 915 is configured to accommodate the first extension 913, and the shape and size of the accommodating groove 915 are matched with the first extension 913.

[0176] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, the connecting surface of the first extension 913 and the first contact surface 911 forms a first inclined surface, and the first inclined surface forms a preset angle with the first contact surface 911. The connecting surface of the accommodating groove 915 and the second contact surface 912 forms a second inclined surface matched with the first inclined surface. In this way, when the shielding mechanism 9 is adjusted from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state), the shielding sheets 91 are moved towards each other, and the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 are moved towards and in contact with each other, thereby reducing the risk of collision between the first extension 913 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91 and the accommodating groove 915, and prolonging the service life of the shielding mechanism 9.

[0177] In such an embodiment, when the shielding sheet 91 is in the first position, the end of the first extension 913 of the shielding sheet 91 is in contact with the accommodating groove 915 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91 to form a first contact position, and the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91 are in contact to form a second contact position, and the first contact position and the second contact position are staggered with each other, so that the first extension 913 further shields the contact position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91, and avoids the contact position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 from being cracked to completely shield the camera 61, thereby further improving the privacy of the conference equipment.

[0178] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, the first surface (front surface of the shielding sheet 91 in FIG. 13) of the shielding sheet 91 forms an appearance surface, and the first extension 913 is located on the second surface (back surface of the shielding sheet 91 in FIG. 13) opposite to the first surface.

[0179] In such an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when the shutter 91 is in the first position, the user can see the appearance of the shutter 91, at this time, the plurality of shutters 91 surround the central axis of the camera 61, and the appearance formed by the plurality of shutters 91 contacting each other is flat and beautiful. As shown in FIG. 11, the first extension 913 is located on the rear surface of the shutter 91, and does not have an adverse effect on the appearance of the shutter 91.

[0180] In some illustrative embodiments, the first extension 913 can also be located on the first surface, which is not limited here.

[0181] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10, 12, 13 and 14, in the first position, the connection position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of each shutter 91 is located at the central position of the plurality of shutters 91 (the central position of FIG. 10), and the second surface of any shutter 91 in the plurality of shutters 91 (the rear surface of the shutter 91 of FIG. 13) is provided with a second extension 914, which extends outward beyond the central position.

[0182] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the plurality of shutters 91 are distributed in axial symmetry around the central position. The plurality of shutters 91 contact each other at the central position, which can produce a gap and cannot completely shield the camera 61. As shown in FIGS. 12, 13 and 14, the second extension 914 can further shield the central position, further improving the privacy of the conference equipment.

[0183] In some illustrative embodiments, the second extension 914 can also be provided on the first surface of the shutter 91, which is not limited here.

[0184] In some illustrative embodiments, the conference equipment further comprises a sensing device and a control device. The sensing device is configured to detect the position of the shutter. The control device is configured to control the conference equipment to enter the privacy mode in response to the sensing device.

[0185] In detail, the sensing device can be a Hall sensor, a laser sensor, a touch sensor, etc., which is not limited here. The control device can be an electronic switch or a relay matched with the sensing device, etc., which is specifically set according to the sensing device.

[0186] In some illustrative embodiments, the control device controls the conference equipment to enter the privacy mode in response to the sensing device detecting that the shielding piece is in the first position. In the privacy mode, the conference equipment outputs a preset image instead of the image information captured by the camera of the conference equipment (i.e. the picture taken by the camera). The preset image can be a black image, a blue image, a mosaic image, etc. The preset image can also be a scene image, a figure image, a text image, etc. set by a user, which is not limited herein.

[0187] In such an implementation, the conference equipment can directly enter the privacy mode in response to the position of the shielding piece, avoiding the leakage of the image information actually captured on site. In addition, in the privacy mode, the conference equipment outputs the preset image instead of the actually captured image information, thereby avoiding the existence of a gap in the shielding mechanism, making the conference equipment present part of the image information captured by the camera, and thus improving the privacy of the conference equipment.

[0188] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the driving mechanism 92 includes a transmission disc 921, a movable arm 922, and a driving part 923. The transmission disc 921 is rotatably installed on the electronic device 6. The movable arm 922 is rotatably installed between the transmission disc 921 and the shielding piece 91. The driving part 923 is arranged on the electronic device 6, and is configured to drive the transmission disc 921 to rotate, so that the movable arm 922 drives the shielding piece 91 to rotate to the first position, or to drive the transmission disc 921 to rotate reversely, so that the movable arm 922 drives the shielding piece 91 to rotate to the second position.

[0189] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the transmission disc 921 can be a circular disc coaxial with the camera end of the camera 61 and rotate around its own axis. A circular hole in the middle of the transmission disc 921 exposes the camera end of the camera 61, allowing the camera 61 to capture image information. The transmission disc 921 is provided with a clearance groove 9211 to accommodate the rotation shaft of the shielding piece 91, so as to allow the transmission disc 921 to rotate around its own axis.

[0190] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the plurality of shielding pieces 91 are uniformly and spacedly distributed around the axis of the transmission disc 921, and the number of the movable arms 922 is consistent with the number of the shielding pieces 91. The first end of each movable arm 922 is rotatably installed on the transmission disc 921, and the second end of the movable arm 922 is rotatably installed on the shielding piece 91.

[0191] As shown in FIG. 8, when the driving part 923 drives the transmission disc 921 to rotate counterclockwise, the transmission disc 921 simultaneously drives the plurality of movable arms 922 and the plurality of shielding pieces 91 to rotate and close to the central axis of the transmission disc 921, so that the plurality of shielding pieces 91 rotate to the first position and contact each other, thereby substantially completely covering the camera 61. When the driving part 923 drives the transmission disc 921 to rotate clockwise, the transmission disc 921 simultaneously drives the plurality of movable arms 922 and the plurality of shielding pieces 91 to rotate and disperse in the direction away from the central axis of the transmission disc 921, so that the plurality of shielding pieces 91 rotate to the second position, i.e., the side of the camera end of the camera 61, thereby exposing the camera 61.

[0192] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the transmission disc 921 is provided with a protruding part 9212 in a cylindrical structure. The driving part 923 can be slidably installed on the electronic device 6 in the tangential direction of the transmission disc 921, and the driving part 923 is provided with a sliding groove 9231 accommodating the protruding part 9212.

[0193] In such an implementation, during the reciprocating sliding process of the driving part 923, the protruding part 9212 slides in the sliding groove 9231, so that the transmission disc 921 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0194] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the driving part 923 can be engaged with the transmission disc 921, and the transmission disc 921 is driven to rotate by rotating the driving part 923.

[0195] In some illustrative embodiments, the conference device further comprises a feedback mechanism 10 configured to issue a prompt in the first position and the second position.

[0196] In some illustrative embodiments, the feedback mechanism 10 can be a sound prompt (such as voice, ringtone), a tactile prompt (such as vibration, pressure), or a visual prompt (such as graphics, indicator light), etc., which is set according to actual needs.

[0197] In such an implementation, when the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding piece 91 to move to the first position or the second position, the feedback mechanism 10 can feedback that the shielding piece 91 is moved to the position, so as to facilitate the user to know the moving position of the shielding piece 91. In addition, after the user knows that the shielding piece 91 is moved to the position, the operation of the driving mechanism 92 is stopped, so as to avoid continuing to operate the driving mechanism 92, which causes the driving mechanism 92 or the shielding piece 91 to be excessively pressed.

[0198] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 15, the feedback mechanism 10 is elastically arranged on the electronic device 6, and in the first position or the second position, the feedback mechanism 10 extends into the groove 9232 of the driving part 923 to vibrate the driving part 923.

[0199] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 15, the feedback mechanism 10 includes an elastic member 101 and a feedback part 102. The elastic member 101 can be a spring, and the elastic member 101 is elastically arranged on the electronic device 6 and elastically extends or contracts towards the direction of approaching or moving away from the driving part 923. The feedback part 102 is arranged at the end of the elastic member 101 corresponding to the driving part 923 to extend into the groove 9232.

[0200] In such an implementation, in the process of reciprocating movement of the driving part 923 in the tangential direction of the transmission disc 921 to drive the transmission disc 921 to rotate, when the shielding sheet 91 moves to the first position or the second position, the feedback part 102 is opposite to the groove 9232 of the driving part 923. At this time, the elastic member 101 in the compressed state extends and pushes the feedback part 102 to extend into the groove 9232, thereby vibrating the driving part 923, so that the user knows the position state of the shielding sheet 91.

[0201] In some illustrative embodiments, the feedback part 102 is rollably arranged at the end of the elastic member 101 corresponding to the driving part 923. In this way, in the process of movement of the driving part 923, the feedback part 102 is in rolling contact with the driving part 923, which reduces the frictional resistance in the process of movement of the driving part 923, facilitating the movement of the driving part 923.

[0202] In some illustrative embodiments, the conference device further includes a support 8. The support 8 is configured to mount the electronic device 6 on an external work surface.

[0203] In some illustrative embodiments, the support 8 supports and fixes the electronic device 6 and can adjust the mounting position of the electronic device 6 on the work surface. The work surface can be a wall surface, a table surface, a door frame surface, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0204] In some illustrative embodiments, the support 8 includes, but is not limited to, being mounted on the work surface by bolt connection, adhesion, buckle connection or any other connection mode.

[0205] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the support 8 includes, but is not limited to, a first mounting plate 81, a second mounting plate 82, a clamping plate 83, and a connecting shaft 84. A first end of the first mounting plate 81 (the rear end of the first mounting plate 81 in FIG. 16) is rotatably connected to a first end of the second mounting plate 82 (the rear end of the second mounting plate 82 in FIG. 16) through the connecting shaft 84, so that the support 8 has a closed state in which the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are closed to each other, and a second state in which the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are unfolded, and an included angle between the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 is an acute angle. The clamping plate 83 is mounted on a second end of the first mounting plate 81 (the front end of the first mounting plate 81 in FIG. 16), and the clamping plate 83 is arranged at a preset angle with the first mounting plate 81. The preset angle can be 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, etc., which is not limited herein. The electronic device 6 is mounted on the first mounting plate 81 on which the clamping plate 83 is mounted.

[0206] In such embodiments, the working surface is vertically placed. When the support 8 is mounted on the working surface, the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are unfolded and are in the second state, and a connecting region of the first mounting plate 81 and the clamping plate 83 is kept at a side of a top of the working surface, and a second end of the second mounting plate 82 is abutted against a side of the working surface, so that the support 8 is mounted on the working surface, and the operation is convenient. Of course, the working surface can also be inclined at a certain angle with the horizontal plane.

[0207] In addition, when the conference equipment is stored, the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 of the support 8 are closed and are in the first state, so that the space occupation is reduced and the storage is facilitated.

[0208] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the electronic device 6 and the support 8 are detachably connected.

[0209] In detail, the electronic device 6 includes, but is not limited to, being mounted on the support 8 through bolt connection, adhesion, buckle connection, or any other connection mode.

[0210] In some illustrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the electronic device 6 and the support 8 are magnetically connected.

[0211] Specifically, a first magnet is mounted on the electronic device 6, and a second magnet magnetically matched with the first magnet is mounted on the support 8. In this way, the electronic device 6 is mounted on the support 8 through the magnetic force between the first magnet and the second magnet. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0212] For example, electromagnets can also be arranged between the electronic device 6 and the support 8 to be mounted through magnetic attraction.

Further, the processing device (such as a microcontroller or a processor) in the electronic device generates corresponding control instructions (such as analog signals and / or digital signals) to control the execution device according to the received signals. It should be understood that the embodiments of the disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0220] The step S110 of receiving the control instruction can also be realized by the interactive device interacting with the user through other devices other than the interaction part.

[0222] For another example, visual interaction can be used, including but not limited to collecting biological identification information (such as iris information and facial information) of the user, eye tracking, and other ways of receiving control instructions according to the visual information of the user.

[0223] In some illustrative embodiments, the step S120 controls the electronic device to enter a target working mode corresponding to the control instruction, and the target working mode includes, but is not limited to, at least one of an upgrade mode, a start-up mode, a self-checking mode, a shooting mode, a U disk mode, and a privacy mode.

[0224] In the upgrade mode, the user can perform a firmware upgrade on the electronic device, for example, update an operating system and / or an application program, etc. In detail, in the upgrade mode, the user can connect an external device (such as a computer, etc.) through a wired manner (such as a USB interface, a type-C interface, etc.) or a wireless manner (such as wifi, a local area network, Bluetooth, etc.) to perform an upgrade operation.

[0225] In the start-up mode, the electronic device performs an initialization operation to load an operating system and an application program, so as to enter a normal working state.

[0226] In the self-checking mode, the electronic device performs self-checking to check whether the configured hardware (such as a memory, a processor, a camera, etc.) is normally working, so as to perform fault diagnosis.

[0227] In the shooting mode, the electronic device can collect video and / or picture information of a target (such as a person, an animal, a landscape, an article, etc.) selected by the user through a configured camera device, and store the video information and the picture information in the local, and / or display the video information and the picture information in real time through an external device.

[0228] In the U disk mode, data in the electronic device can be recognized and accessed to call or display the data (such as video, music, picture, and text, etc.) in the local (that is, through the electronic device itself) or through a connected external device (such as a computer), so as to realize data transmission and / or sharing.

[0229] In the privacy mode, the electronic device can close some functions or information (such as closing a camera, closing a microphone, etc.) to protect the user privacy.

[0230] In addition, the electronic device can have other sub-modes in addition to the above-mentioned modes, and the other sub-modes can be configured on the basis of the above-mentioned modes to enrich the functions of the electronic device.

[0233] In the tracking mode, the electronic device (including the configured camera) is configured to automatically identify and track one or more participants, and place their images in the center of an external display device (such as a screen, a projection screen, etc.) for the participants to view. For example, this mode includes but is not limited to scenarios for single or multi-person speeches or reports.

[0234] In the whiteboard mode, the electronic device captures the content on a whiteboard (which is a placeholder and can also be a blackboard, a handwriting board, and other devices suitable for writing and displaying), and places the image on an external display device for participants to view. For example, this mode includes but is not limited to scenarios for meeting records and content display.

[0235] In the overhead mode, the electronic device captures the desktop, drawing board, sand drawing disc, or musical instrument of a user from a normal angle from the arrangement position, and places the image on the screen or uploads it to various live software to facilitate live teaching of calligraphy, painting, sand drawing, piano, and guzheng.

[0236] The above modes are only illustrative descriptions of the application of the electronic device in a conference scenario. The electronic device can also be used in other scenarios suitable for capturing indoor targets (such as people, animals, landscapes, and objects) and outdoor targets.

[0237] In some illustrative embodiments, the step S130 controls the light-emitting part to work in a target running state, wherein the target running state matches the target working mode, and includes:

[0238] The target running state matches the type of the target working mode; and / or, the target running state matches the execution state of the target working mode.

[0239] In some illustrative embodiments, in addition to representing the working mode of the electronic device through the target running state of the light-emitting part, the light-emitting part further represents the execution state of the electronic device in a certain working mode. In detail, the execution state includes but is not limited to at least one of the executing state, the success prompt state, the running state, and the abnormal state.

[0240] Based on the above embodiments, in the executing state, the electronic device is executing the control instruction, but has not yet completed. For example, the electronic device is booting, upgrading, and scanning the whiteboard, etc.

[0241] In the success prompt state, the electronic device has completed the control instruction. For example, the booting is successful, the upgrading is completed, and the scanning is completed, etc.

[0242] In the abnormal state, the electronic device has an error or a fault in a certain working mode. For example, the booting fails, the upgrading fails, and the scanning of the whiteboard fails, etc.

[0243] In the running state, the electronic device is in normal operation and continuously executes a certain control command. For example, in tracking a participant, in copying and transmitting data, in continuous shooting, etc.

[0244] In some illustrative embodiments, the target running state of the light-emitting part includes a target light-emitting color and / or a target light-emitting mode. The target light-emitting mode includes, but is not limited to, a constant-on mode and a stroboscopic mode. Further, the stroboscopic mode includes multiple stroboscopic modes, and different stroboscopic modes have different flashing times and / or frequencies.

[0245] In some illustrative embodiments, the target running state of the light-emitting part includes both a target light-emitting color and a target light-emitting mode. In detail, the target light-emitting color includes, but is not limited to, red, green, blue, and other colors formed by at least two of the three primary colors. Further, the target light-emitting mode includes, but is not limited to, a constant-on mode and a stroboscopic mode.

[0246] The constant-on mode is that the light-emitting part of the electronic device is in a first state of emitting light continuously until the end of the working mode; the stroboscopic mode is that the light-emitting part of the electronic device switches between the first state of emitting light and a second state of being off, and the duration of the light-emitting part in the first state and the second state (i.e., the light-emitting time and the off time) corresponds to different working modes.

[0247] The stroboscopic frequency of the light-emitting part of the electronic device is generally 2-5 times per second, for example, the stroboscopic frequency can be 2 times / second, 3 times / second, 4 times / second, or 5 times / second, etc. While ensuring the attraction of the user's attention, it will not cause visual discomfort to the user, which is set according to actual needs.

[0248] The following describes the electronic device controlled by the above control method, taking an electronic device with a light-emitting part configured with red, green, and blue as an example, as shown in Table 1 and Table 2:

[0249] Table 1: Target running state of the light-emitting part and target working mode and target execution state of the electronic device

[0250] Table 2: Target running state of the light-emitting part and shooting mode and execution state of the electronic device

[0251] Referring to the above Table 1 and Table 2, based on the embodiments in which the target working mode and the target execution state of the electronic device have the following corresponding relationship with the target running state of the light-emitting part, as follows:

[0252] Example 1:

[0253] The electronic device enters a booting mode;

[0254] In this mode, the light emitting part emits green light and is always on, indicating that the electronic device is in the booting process.

[0255] Example 2:

[0256] The electronic device enters a self-checking mode;

[0257] In this mode, the light emitting part emits green light and flashes at a frequency of 1 time per second to form a breathing light effect, indicating that the electronic device is in the self-checking process.

[0258] Further, if the self-checking fails, the light emitting part emits red light and is always on, indicating that the self-checking fails.

[0259] Example 3:

[0260] The electronic device enters a standby mode;

[0261] In this mode, the light emitting part emits green light and is always on, indicating that the electronic device is in the standby mode.

[0262] It should be noted that although the light emitting part in this target operating state has the same light language as that in Example 1 (i.e., emitting green light and being always on), the booting mode is a mode that the electronic device must pass through when booting and will not be entered again before shutting down. Therefore, even if the light language in the standby mode is the same as that in the booting mode, the user will not be confused.

[0263] Example 4:

[0264] The electronic device enters an upgrading mode;

[0265] In this mode, the light emitting part emits blue light and flashes at a frequency of 1 time per second to form a breathing light effect, indicating that the electronic device is in the upgrading process.

[0266] Further, if the upgrading fails, the light emitting part emits red light and flashes 3 times at a frequency of 3 Hz and then turns off; if the upgrading succeeds, the light emitting part emits green light and is always on.

[0267] Example 5:

[0268] The electronic device enters a U disk mode;

[0269] In this mode, the light emitting part emits blue light and is always on, indicating that the electronic device has been recognized as a U disk by an external device.

[0270] Example 6:

[0271] The electronic device enters a privacy mode;

[0272] In this mode, the light-emitting part emits yellow light (which can be regarded as a mixture of green and red light), and is always on, indicating that the electronic device is in a privacy protection state, thereby closing the camera and / or configured audio devices (such as closing the camera and microphone).

[0273] Example 7:

[0274] The electronic device enters a shooting mode;

[0275] In this mode, the light-emitting part emits green light, and is always on, indicating that the electronic device can be used for shooting.

[0276] Further, in the shooting mode, the electronic device also has a plurality of sub-modes as shown in Table 2, which will be further distinguished and described in the following embodiments.

[0277] Example 8:
