Abstract

A display system includes a housing, a display device provided at the housing and exposed from a first side of the housing, a first interface provided at a second side of the housing different from the first side of the housing, and configured to transmit data, and an interaction device. The interaction device includes an interaction member configured to respond to and/or generate interaction data, and a second interface configured to be detachably connected to the first interface and transmit the data. After the second interface is connected to the first interface, the interaction device is configured to maintain a positional relationship with the display device.

Claims (79)

1 . A display system comprising:

a housing;

a display device provided at the housing and exposed from a first side of the housing;

a first interface provided at a second side of the housing different from the first side of the housing, and configured to transmit data; and

an interaction device including:

a first interaction member configured to respond to or generate first interaction data, the first interaction member having a first function;

a second interaction member having a second function different from the first function; and

a second interface configured to be detachably connected to the first interface and transmit the data;

wherein:

 the first interaction member is directly and detachably connected to the second interaction member;

after the second interface is connected to the first interface, the interaction device is configured to maintain a positional relationship with the display device;

the first interaction member includes a processor; and

the processor is configured to process second interaction data of the second interaction member.

2 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein:

the second side of the housing is opposite to the first side of the housing;

the display device is configured to display content toward a first direction;

the first interface is oriented in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; and

the first interaction member is not overlapped with the display device in the first direction.

3 . The display system of claim 2 , wherein:

the interaction device further includes a support member provided with the second interface and a third interface; and

the first interaction member is provided with a fourth interface, the fourth interface being configured to be detachably connected to the third interface.

4 . The display system of claim 3 , wherein the support member includes a retractable structure.

5 . The display system of claim 2 , wherein

the first interaction member is further provided with a fifth interface;

the second interaction member is provided with a sixth interface, the sixth interface being configured to be detachably connected to the fifth interface; and

the second interaction member is not overlapped with the display device in the first direction.

6 . The display system of claim 2 , wherein the interaction device further includes:

a support member configured to adjust a distance between the first interaction member and the first interface in the second direction.

7 . The display system of claim 6 , wherein:

the support member is provided with a seventh interface; and

the second interaction member is provided with the second interface and an eighth interface, the eighth interface being configured to be detachably connected to the seventh interface.

8 . The display system of claim 2 , wherein an orthographic projection of the first interaction member along the first direction is not overlapped with the orthographic projection of the display device along the first direction.

9 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein:

the interaction device further includes a support member provided with a ninth interface;

the first interaction member is provided with a tenth interface, the tenth interface being configured to be detachably connected to the ninth interface to cause the first interaction member to be detachably connected with the support member;

the second interaction member provided with an eleventh interface and a twelfth interface, the eleventh interface being configured to be detachably connected to the ninth interface to cause the second interaction member to be detachably connected with the support member, and the twelfth interface being configured to be detachably connected to the tenth interface to cause the second interaction member to be detachably connected with the first interaction member.

10 . The display system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first guiding structure provided at the housing, a direction of the first guiding structure being parallel to the first interface; and

a second guiding structure provided at the interaction device, the second guiding structure being detachably connected to the first guiding structure, and a direction of the second guiding structure being parallel to the second interface.

11 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to process the data obtained from the second interface or the first interaction data obtained from the first interaction member.

12 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein the first interaction member includes at least one of a camera, a speaker, an earphone, a microphone, a printer, a fan, or a lighting assembly.

13 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first interface includes at least one of a micro-USB, a USB-A interface, a USB-C interface, or a pogo pin; or

the second interface includes at least one of a micro-USB, a USB-A interface, a USB-C interface, or a pogo pin.

14 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein the first interface is disposed at a protrusion structure at the second side of the housing.

15 . The display system of claim 14 , wherein the protrusion structure is provided with a heat dissipation member for cooling the display system in the protrusion structure.

16 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein the second interaction data of the second interaction member includes at least data for elimination of echo or background sound.

17 . The display system of claim 1 , wherein the second interaction member includes a multi-interface configured to enable connection between the first interaction member and the second interaction member, connection between the first interface and the second interface, and the second function of the second interaction member.

18 . A display system comprising:

a housing;

a display device provided at the housing and exposed from a first side of the housing;

a first interface provided at a second side of the housing different from the first side of the housing, and configured to transmit data; and

an interaction device including:

a support member provided with:

a second interface configured to be detachably connected to the first interface; and

a ninth interface;

a first interaction member configured to respond to or generate interaction data, the first interaction member being provided with a tenth interface; and

a second interaction member provided with:

an eleventh interface configured to be detachably connected to the ninth interface to cause the second interaction member to be detachably connected to the support member; and

a twelfth interface configured to be detachably connected to the tenth interface to cause the second interaction member to be detachably connected to the first interaction member;

wherein, after the second interface is connected to the first interface, the interaction device is configured to maintain a positional relationship with the display device.

19 . A display system comprising:
