A multi-display device is adapted to be dockable or otherwise associatable with an additional device. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, the multi-display device is dockable with a smartpad. The exemplary smartpad can include a screen, a touch sensitive display, a configurable area, a gesture capture region(s) and a camera. The smartpad can also include a port adapted to receive the device. The exemplary smartpad is able to cooperate with the device such that information displayable on the device is also displayable on the smartpad. Furthermore, any one or more of the functions on the device are extendable to the smartpad, with the smartpad capable of acting as an input/output interface or extension of the smartpad. Therefore, for example, information from one or more of the displays on the multi-screen device is displayable on the smartpad.

The present disclosure relates to a touch substrate, a display panel, and a display device. The touch substrate includes a substrate and an electrode layer disposed on the substrate. The electrode layer includes at least two electrodes. Each electrode includes at least one sub-electrode. The sub-electrode includes an electrode unit array having at least two columns of electrode units, wherein any two columns in the electrode unit array do not intersect, each column in the electrode unit array includes at least two electrode units connected in series, and the any two adjacent columns in the electrode unit array are connected in parallel by a connection component.

One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a technique for generating an interface on a resonance surface. The technique includes determining a resonance pattern corresponding to a set of interface elements. The technique further includes configuring one or more haptic output devices to generate haptic output that creates the resonance pattern on the resonance surface.

A single-track vehicle is provided with a display device and a control device which is configured coupled to the display device such that at least one first display layout and one second display layout are presentable in the display device. The first and the second display layout have at least one main display field. Upon switching to the first display layout, the current speed and/or the current engine speed and/or the current gear stage and/or a current desired speed of the single-track vehicle are/is displayed in the region of the main display field, and, upon switching to the second display layout, a plurality of menu points of a selection menu and/or items of information about comfort functions of the single-track vehicle are depicted in the region of the main display field.

Methods and devices for minimizing and maximizing displayed output associated with applications are provided. More particularly, an application presented across two or more screens of a device in a landscape mode can be minimized to present portion of the application in one of the screens. With respect to a maximization operation received with respect to a page of an application results in the expansion of the displayed portion of the application to multiple screens of the device. Input to effect minimization and maximization operations can be entered in one or more gesture capture regions associated with the screens.

A method for determining display orientation is provided. The method includes the following steps. Sense a plurality of touch points by at least one hold sensor, and determine a holding gesture of the electronic apparatus according to the plurality of touch points. The at least one hold sensor is disposed on at least one side of the electronic apparatus. Determine a holding direction of the electronic apparatus according to the holding gesture. Determine a display orientation of a frame generated by the electronic apparatus according to the holding direction.

A user interface capable of controlling various functions of a vehicle is disclosed. More particularly, an in-vehicle function control apparatus using a detachable knob and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. A method of controlling a vehicle function using a detachable knob includes an integrated operation unit detecting an attachment position of the detachable knob among a plurality of attachment positions in a vehicle, transmitting information on a result of the operation from the detachable knob to the integrated operation unit when an operation unit provided in the detachable knob is operated, and the integrated operation unit controlling a controlled function corresponding to the attachment position of the detachable knob based on the information on the result. The detachable knob is fixed at any one of the plurality of attachment positions using magnetic force.

An optical detecting device includes a receiving box and a telescopic arm. The receiving box includes an electrical connection port and a first conductive portion electrically connected to the electrical connection port. The telescopic arm is slidably disposed in the receiving box and includes an optical sensor and a second conductive portion electrically connected to the optical sensor. When the telescopic arm and the receiving box are in different sensing positions, the first conductive portion is electrically connected to the second conductive portion.

An amusement park ride system including a ride vehicle, a ride control system that may track a location of the ride vehicle on a ride path and a haptic feedback system having a screen having a surface modifying component. The surface modifying component may be positioned on the ride vehicle. The haptic feedback system also includes a control system having a memory and a processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the haptic feedback system to convert data from the ride control system into tactile information representative of scenery surrounding the ride vehicle based on stored scenery data that is correlated to the location.
