Abstract
A hinge, an electronic device, and an electronic device control method are provided. The electronic device control method includes: when detecting that an electrical signal changes, obtaining a first electrical signal between a first metal plate and a second metal plate; and determining a first folding angle of a hinge according to the first electrical signal; and controlling the electronic device according to the first folding angle.
Claims12
A hinge, comprising N sleeves that are jointed, wherein any two adjacent sleeves of the N sleeve may be sheathed together, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2;
- a first side wall of a first sleeve is provided with a first metal plate, a second side wall of a second sleeve is provided with a second metal plate, and the first sleeve and the second sleeve are two adjacent sleeves;
- when the first sleeve and the second sleeve are sheathed, the first side wall is opposite to the second side wall and the first metal plate is opposite to the second metal plate, and the first metal plate and the second metal plate have overlapped orthogonal projection areas;
- and
- an electrical signal is applied to at least one of the first metal plate and the second metal plate, wherein when the first sleeve and the second sleeve move relative to each other, the electrical signal between the first metal plate and the second metal plate changes.
An electronic device, comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, and a hinge, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are connected through the hinge, and the hinge comprises N sleeves that are joined, any two adjacent sleeves of the N sleeves may be sheathed together, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2;
- a first side wall of a first sleeve is provided with a first metal plate, a second side wall of a second sleeve is provided with a second metal plate, and the first sleeve and the second sleeve are two adjacent sleeves;
- when the first sleeve and the second sleeve are sheathed, the first side wall is opposite to the second side wall and the first metal plate is opposite to the second metal plate, and the first metal plate and the second metal plate have overlapped orthogonal projection areas;
- and
- an electrical signal is applied to at least one of the first metal plate and the second metal plate, wherein when the first sleeve and the second sleeve move relative to each other, the electrical signal between the first metal plate and the second metal plate changes.
