Abstract
An electronic device includes a first body, a second body coupled to the first body, a trigger device, and a processing device. The trigger device is configured to generate a trigger instruction based on a trigger operation. The trigger device is placed in an area that is responsive to a movement of the first body relative to the second body. The processing device is configured to switch the electronic device from a first state to a second state in response to the trigger instruction. A power consumption state of the first state is different from a power consumption state of the second state.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body coupled to the first body;
- a trigger device configured to generate a trigger instruction based on a trigger operation;
- wherein the trigger device is placed in an area responsive to a movement of the first body relative to the second body, the area is determined according to a utilization rate of an external force acting on the first body, and the utilization rate corresponds to an amplitude of a position change of the first body when it is subjected to the external force;
- a fingerprint recognition device configured to perform fingerprint recognition, the trigger device being integrated together with the fingerprint recognition device, wherein the fingerprint recognition and generation of the trigger instruction are performed simultaneously;
- and
- a processing device configured to switch the electronic device from a first state to a second state in response to the trigger instruction, wherein a power consumption state of the first state is different from a power consumption state of the second state.
A control method comprising:
- obtaining a trigger instruction from a trigger device of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a first body and a second body coupled to the first body, the trigger device is placed in an area responsive to a movement of the first body and the second body, the area is determined according to a utilization rate of an external force acting on the first body, the utilization rate corresponds to an amplitude of a position change of the first body when it is subjected to the external force, the trigger device is integrated together with a fingerprint recognition device, which is configured to perform fingerprint recognition, and the trigger device is triggered to generate the trigger instruction at a same time when the fingerprint recognition is completed;
- and
- switching the electronic device from a first state to a second state in response to the trigger instruction, wherein a power consumption state of the first state is different from a power consumption state of the second state.
