Abstract
An electronic device, a control method, and an infrared module are provided. The electronic device includes a middle frame, a housing, a processor, and an infrared module. The housing is fitted onto the middle frame. The processor and the infrared module are positioned in an accommodation space formed by the housing and the middle frame. The housing includes a cover plate, and the infrared module is positioned under the cover plate. In response to a tilt of the electronic device in a pitch direction, the processor is configured to adjust an emergent direction, relative to the cover plate, of an infrared ray emitted by the infrared module.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a middle frame;
- a housing;
- an infrared module;
- and
- a camera module, wherein:
- the infrared module is configured to control a controlled object;
- the housing is fitted onto the middle frame;
- the processor and the infrared module are positioned in an accommodation space formed by the housing and the middle frame;
- the housing comprises a cover plate;
- the infrared module and the camera module are positioned under the cover plate;
- and
- the cover plate comprises a first region and a second region, the camera module is aligned with the first region, and the infrared module is aligned with the second region.
An infrared module, comprising:
- a first bracket;
- a second bracket;
- a first adjustment apparatus;
- and
- an infrared emitter, wherein:
- the infrared emitter is mounted on the first bracket, the second bracket comprises a base and a support pillar connected to the base, and one end that is of the support pillar and that is away from the base is connected to the first bracket;
- the first adjustment apparatus comprises a first magnetic member and a first coil, wherein the first coil is positioned on the base, and the first magnetic member is positioned on the first bracket;
- or
- the first magnetic member is positioned on the base, and the first coil is positioned on the first bracket;
- and
- when the first coil is energized, the first magnetic member is attracted toward or repelled by the first coil, and the first bracket is driven to shift towards a first direction or a second direction, to drive an emergent direction of an infrared ray emitted by the infrared emitter to mirror the shift of the first bracket towards the first direction or the second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.
A control method for an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises:
- a middle frame, a housing, a processor, and an infrared module, the housing is fitted onto the middle frame, the processor and the infrared module are positioned in an accommodation space formed by the housing and the middle frame, the housing comprises a cover plate, and the infrared module is disposed under the cover plate;
- the method comprising:
- detecting a tilt of the electronic device in a pitch direction;
- and
- in response to the tilt of the electronic device in the pitch direction, adjusting an emergent direction, relative to the cover plate, of an infrared ray emitted by the infrared module.
