One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, using at least one sensor, an angle value between a first body and a second body of an electronic device; determining, using a processor, whether the angle value between the first body and the second body is greater than a predetermined threshold value; and correcting, responsive to determining that the angle value between the first body and the second body is greater than the predetermined threshold value, a decision threshold. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The description relates to devices that include hinged portions and controlling rotation of the hinged portions with smart clutch control. One example can include powering a motor to cause clutch portions to engage in a first instance. The example can also include monitoring an operational parameter during the powering. The method can further include, based at least in part upon the monitoring, adjusting power to cause the clutch portions to engage in a second instance with a force that is different than the first instance.

A magnetic stand for a tablet device is disclosed. The magnetic stand is configured to rigidly hold a portion of the tablet device in place and to shield the magnetic field from adversely affecting nearby devices susceptible to strong magnetic fields. The shielding portion of the magnetic stand allows for significant increases in magnetic field strength when compared to similarly configured, unshielded products.

A method and apparatus for an electronic interactive device having a haptic enabled flexible touch sensitive surface are disclosed. In one embodiment, the electronic interactive device includes a flexible touch sensitive surface, a flexible screen (or display), and an actuator. The flexible touch sensitive surface is deposited over the flexible screen and is capable of receiving an input, such as, for example, from a user. The flexible screen displays an image via a displaying window. The actuator is coupled to the flexible screen and provides haptic feedback in response to the input.

A connecting system of a multi-section housing provided at one end face of a first and second housing superposed with their display surfaces at the outsides, comprising: a first shaft vertical to superposed surfaces of first and second housing; and a second shaft perpendicular to the first shaft, wherein if a center line of the first shaft is arranged on a line bisecting the end face to the left and right and the center line of the second shaft is arranged on the superposed surfaces of the first and second housing, the first shaft can be used to allow the second housing superposed over the first housing to be rotated by 180 degrees and, in this state, the first housing can be made to rotate by the second shaft by 180 degrees so as to arrange the display surfaces of the first and second housings on the same plane.

Examples disclosed herein provide a computing device. One example computing device includes an enclosure and a support member rotatably connected to the enclosure at a first end of the support member, via a shaft disposed within the enclosure along a perimeter of the enclosure. The computing device includes a panel connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end. As an example, the panel is to enclose the enclosure when the support member is to rotate towards the enclosure. When the support member is to rotate via the shaft, the support member is to wrap around the perimeter of the enclosure.

Disclosed in the present specification are a foldable display device for displaying interconnected first and second contents respectively in a first display region and a second display region which are physically and visually separated by the folding of a housing part, and a method for controlling the same. The foldable display device according to the present invention is capable of further displaying a second content connected with a first content in a second display region facing the same direction as a first display region when the housing part is converted from a completely folded state to a half unfolded state during a period of displaying the first content in the first display region of at least two display regions which are physically or visually separated by the folding of the housing part in a state where the housing part is completely folded. The present specification allows a user to simultaneously identify the first content displayed in the first display region and the second content displayed in the second display region in the second state. Accordingly, the user can conveniently simultaneously compare at least two interconnected contents.

A computing device is described. The computing device includes a first portion with a protrusion and a second portion separably connected to the first portion. The second portion has a receptacle. An undocking assist mechanism is configured to separate the first portion from the second portion when the protrusion is at least partially inserted into the receptacle. An actuator is configured to actuate the undocking assist mechanism. Methods of use are also described.

A pivot structure assembly including a fixed cover and a hinge module is provided. The hinge module includes a torque element, a first shaft, a second shaft, a first bracket and a second bracket. The torque element is fixed on the fixed cover and has a first and a second axle sleeves, parallely disposed at two opposite sides of the torque element. The first shaft is disposed through the first axle sleeve, and the second shaft is disposed through the second axle sleeve. The first bracket is pivotally disposed on the torque element through the first shaft, and the second bracket pivotally disposed on the torque element through the second shaft. When the first and second brackets rotate relatively to the torque element, the first and second axle sleeves respectively provide different friction forces to the first and second shafts. In addition, an electronic device is also mentioned.

An apparatus includes first and second portions configured for relative movement; and a compression transmission arrangement extending between them and configured to enable movement of the first portion and the second portion towards each other and further configured to transmit compression forces between the first portion and the second portion to limit movement of the first portion and the second portion towards each other. The apparatus further includes a tension transmission arrangement extending between those portions which is configured to enable movement of the first portion and the second portion away from each other and further configured to transmit tension forces between the first portion and the second portion to limit movement of the first portion and the second portion away from each other. Both transmission arrangements may be on the same side of an equilibrium plane of the apparatus.
