侧键装置及电子终端Side key device and electronic terminal技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及应用于电子终端中的侧键装置结构技术，尤其涉及一种侧键装置及电子终端。The present invention relates to a side key device structure technology applied to an electronic terminal, and more particularly to a side key device and an electronic terminal.

背景技术Background technique

近年来，电子终端技术处于飞速发展的状态，在电子终端的设计过程中，便捷性和安全性受到越来越多的关注。指纹识别技术以其快速、安全等优点越来越多地应用在手机等电子终端上。In recent years, electronic terminal technology is in a state of rapid development. In the design process of electronic terminals, convenience and security have received more and more attention. Fingerprint recognition technology is increasingly applied to electronic terminals such as mobile phones with its advantages of speed and security.

常见的电子终端有手机、平板电脑、数码相机等。以手机为例，将手机手机的正面设有屏幕，手机背离正面一侧设有手机的背面，正面外围与背面外围之间通过手机的侧面连接。其中，顶面和底面为沿手机长度方向的两端面，左侧面和右侧面为沿手机宽度方向的两端面。Common electronic terminals include mobile phones, tablet computers, and digital cameras. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the front side of the mobile phone is provided with a screen, and the back side of the mobile phone is located on the back side of the mobile phone, and the front side and the back side are connected through the side of the mobile phone. The top surface and the bottom surface are both end faces along the length direction of the mobile phone, and the left side surface and the right side surface are end faces along the width direction of the mobile phone.

目前，手机上设置的指纹识别器件通常设置在手机的正面或背面。对于设置在手机背面的方式，由于用户在使用手机的过程中往往是正面朝向用户，用户看不到手机的背面，因此用户需要用手指在手机的背面摸索寻找指纹识别器件的位置。并且，若手机尺寸较大，用户单手持手机的时候手指有时候够不着指纹识别器件，无法实现单手操作，必须用两只手结合才能达到指纹识别的效果，降低了操作便捷性。对于指纹识别器件设置在手机正面的方式，指纹识别器件占用了手机正面中较大的面积，降低了屏幕的屏占比，手机屏幕可识别区域需根据手机正面剩余的面积进行设置，加大了设计的难度。Currently, fingerprint recognition devices set on mobile phones are usually placed on the front or back of the phone. For the way of setting on the back of the mobile phone, since the user is often facing the user in the process of using the mobile phone, the user cannot see the back of the mobile phone, so the user needs to use the finger to search for the location of the fingerprint identification device on the back of the mobile phone. Moreover, if the size of the mobile phone is large, when the user is holding the mobile phone, the finger sometimes cannot reach the fingerprint recognition device, and the one-hand operation cannot be realized, and the combination of the two hands is required to achieve the effect of fingerprint recognition, thereby reducing the convenience of operation. For the way that the fingerprint recognition device is arranged on the front side of the mobile phone, the fingerprint recognition device occupies a large area in the front surface of the mobile phone, which reduces the screen occupation ratio of the screen, and the identifiable area of the mobile phone screen needs to be set according to the remaining area of the front surface of the mobile phone, and the operation is increased. The difficulty of design.
