Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile terminal dance method, where a first magnet is set at the bottom of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is placed in a base, and the base is set with a second magnet with a polarity opposite to a polarity of the first magnet; when a preset triggering condition is met, the mobile terminal sends a first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnet, such that the first magnet produces a polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnet. The disclosure further discloses a mobile terminal. With the mobile terminal and the dance method thereof as provided by the disclosure, a user may be provided with a brand new mode of prompting an incoming call, increasing user experience.

Claims (25)

1. A mobile terminal dance method, wherein a first magnet with a first magnetic pole is set at the bottom of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is placed in a base, and the base is set with a second magnet with a second magnetic pole facing the first magnetic pole, the second magnetic pole being of a polarity opposite to a polarity of the first magnetic pole, the method comprising a step of:

when a preset triggering condition is met, sending, by the mobile terminal, a first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnetic pole, such that the first magnetic pole produces a polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnetic pole,

wherein the first magnet is an electromagnet, magnetic polarities of which are switched with an electrode change,

wherein the step of when the preset triggering condition is met, sending, by the mobile terminal, the first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnetic pole, such that the first magnetic pole produces a polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnetic pole comprises steps of:

when the preset triggering condition is met, acquiring a sampling frequency preset in the mobile terminal; and

sending the first control signal to the first magnet, such that the first magnetic pole produces the polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnetic pole, wherein a frequency of the first control signal is the sampling frequency, wherein the first control signal drives a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, and the method further comprises:

adjusting, by the mobile terminal, a magnetic strength of the first magnetic pole using the PWM signal to vary a difference between gravity of the mobile terminal and a magnetic force with a frequency of the PWM signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sampling frequency is a sampling frequency of an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal or a flickering frequency of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising a step of: while executing the step of sending, by the mobile terminal, the first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnetic pole,

triggering an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal and/or flickering of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of: while executing the step of sending, by the mobile terminal, the first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnetic pole,

triggering an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal and/or flickering of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.

5. A mobile terminal, comprising a first magnet with a first magnetic pole set at the bottom of the mobile terminal and a magnetic suspension control module, wherein the mobile terminal is placed in a base, the base is set with a second magnet with a second magnetic pole facing the first magnetic pole, the second magnetic pole being of a polarity opposite to a polarity of the first magnetic pole, and the magnetic suspension control module is configured for:

when a preset triggering condition is met, sending a first control signal to control the polarity of the first magnetic pole, such that the first magnetic pole produces a polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnetic pole,

wherein the first magnet is an electromagnet, magnetic polarities of which are switched with an electrode change,

wherein the magnetic suspension control module comprises:

an acquiring unit configured for: when the preset triggering condition is met, acquiring a sampling frequency preset in the mobile terminal; and

a sending unit configured for: sending the first control signal to the first magnetic pole, such that the first magnetic pole produces the polarity identical to the polarity of the second magnetic pole, wherein a frequency of the first control signal is the sampling frequency,

wherein the first control signal drives a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal,

wherein the mobile terminal adjusts a magnetic strength of the first magnetic pole using the PWM signal to vary a difference between gravity of the mobile terminal and a magnetic force with a frequency of the PWM signal.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the sampling frequency is a sampling frequency of an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal or a flickering frequency of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.

7. The mobile terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the magnetic suspension control module further comprises

a triggering unit configured for: triggering an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal and/or flickering of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the magnetic suspension control module further comprises

a triggering unit configured for: triggering an incoming call ringtone of the mobile terminal and/or flickering of an incoming call LED light of the mobile terminal.
