Abstract

An electronic device includes: a host; a first screen, comprising a first connecting edge, the first screen is slidably connected to the host by the first connecting edge, and the first screen slides between a first slide position and a second slide position relative to the host; a magnet module, disposed on the first screen or on the host, the magnet module comprises a plurality of magnet components, and the magnet components are arranged at intervals; and a magnetic induction module, disposed on the host or on the first screen relative to the magnet module, wherein when the first screen is flipped towards the host at any position between the first slide position and the second slide position, the magnetic induction module detects a magnetic field of the magnet module to causes the host to switch to a system state.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a host;

a first screen, comprising a first connecting edge, the first screen is slidably connected to the host by the first connecting edge, and the first screen is slidable to any position between a first slide position and a second slide position relative to the host along a horizontal axis parallel to the first connecting edge;

a magnet module, disposed in the first screen or in the host, the magnet module comprises a plurality of magnet components and a rectangular iron piece, and the magnet components are arranged at intervals on the rectangular iron piece; and

a magnetic induction module, comprising at least one magnetic sensor, disposed in the host or in the first screen relative to the magnet module, wherein when the first screen is slid to the any position between the first slide position and the second slide position and flipped towards the host, the magnetic induction module causes the host to switch a system state in response to detecting a magnetic field of the magnet module, and wherein an orthographic projection of the at least one magnetic sensor on the host overlaps an orthographic projection of the rectangular iron piece on the host when the first screen is flipped towards and covers the host at the any position between the first slide position and the second slide position, and wherein the orthographic projection of the rectangular iron piece on the host is not overlapped the orthographic projection of the at least one magnetic sensor on the host when in an open position where the first screen is perpendicular to the host.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the magnet components comprises a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole having different magnetism, and each of the magnet components is disposed on the rectangular iron piece by the first magnetic pole facing toward the rectangular iron piece.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a sliding distance between the first slide position and the second slide position is half a length of the host.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first screen further comprises a second connecting edge adjacent to the first connecting edge, and the electronic device further comprises:

a second screen, connected to the second connecting edge and moving alone with the first screen.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet components of the magnet module are disposed at intervals in at least one of the first screen and the second screen, and the at least one magnetic sensor of the magnetic induction module is disposed in the host and corresponds to the magnet module.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet components of the magnet module are disposed at intervals in the host, and the at least one magnetic sensor of the magnetic induction module is disposed in at least one of the first screen or the second screen and correspond to the magnet module.

7. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein when the first screen is flipped towards and covers the host along the horizontal axis, the second screen flips with the first screen.

8. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the second screen axially rotates relative to the first screen along the second connecting edge.
