NEAR ZERO FORCE GROUNDING FEATURE
An electronic device can include first and second housing components and an electrical grounding feature located therebetween to provide a grounding path. The grounding feature can include an outer portion formed from an electrically conductive material and an internal region containing a removable expansion element. The grounding feature can exert an expansion force against the housing components when the device is assembled and the expansion element remains, and exert no expansion force against the housing components when the expansion element is removed. The device can also include an adhesive coupling the electrical grounding feature to the housing components, which adhesive can be electrically conductive. The expansion element can be deformable and removable from an open end of the grounding feature outer portion, which outer portion can be elastic and can deform to contact more of the housing components when the grounding feature is compressed therebetween.
Coupling systems and methods for electronic devices
Illustrative examples include a system for coupling a first electronic device to a second electronic device. The first electronic device may include a housing having a first engagement surface and a first magnet array. The first engagement surface may be adapted to receive the second electronic device. The second electronic device may include a second magnet array. An actuator coupled to the first magnet array may move the first magnet array relative to the housing and the second magnetic array, to attractively couple or repulsively de-couple the second electronic device from the first electronic device.
Apparatus and method for controlling operation of mobile terminal
A method of controlling the operation of a mobile terminal is provided. By dynamically selecting or setting a specific function of a mobile terminal according to a change in pressure or contact areas sensed by a plurality of touch sensors which cover the mobile terminal, a user can easily select or set a specific function of the mobile terminal according to his or her intention, and easily recognize information displayed on a screen of the mobile terminal.
Magnets at display component and base
A computing device with a hinge coupled to a display component and to a base for the display component to reposition relative to the base, a first set of magnets at first locations of the display component and the base, and a second set of magnets at second locations of the display component and the base.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
An electronic device is disclosed, including a binder structure, connection cylinders detachable coupled to the binder structure and rotatable therein, a first electronic part disposed within a space formed by the connection cylinders, a display module detachably coupled to at least one cylinder and electrically connected to the electronic part, wherein the display module includes a first sheet, a second sheet, a connection unit connecting ends of the first and second sheets, a first flexible display supported by the first sheet, and second flexible display supported by the second sheet, and a sheet fixing member disposed in the internal space of the connection cylinder connecting other ends of the first and second sheets, wherein the first sheet and second sheet are configured to slip relative to one another, and both displays are electronically connected to the first electronic part through the sheet fixing member.
Television adapter
A computing device is disclosed. The computing device includes a housing having electrical plug blades for insertion into an electrical outlet, an AC/DC electrical converter contained within the housing, a system on a chip (SoC) powered by the converter and contained within the housing, at least one data storage device in data communication with the SoC and contained within the housing, a networking device in data communication with the SoC and contained within the housing, an input receiving device in data communication with the SoC and contained within the housing, and at least one output port in data communication with the SoC and contained within the housing.
Case for a Laptop Computer
A case for a laptop computer, the case comprising upper and lower shells which are entirely separate from one another. Each shell comprises an outer layer of a first injection moulded polymer and an inner liner of a second injection moulded polymer softer than the first. Each shell defines a cavity having a back surface and upstanding side walls, the cavity being arranged to receive, in use, one half of the laptop computer. The second polymer comprises a plurality of inwardly extending clips which protrude across the cavity from an edge of the side wall furthest from the back surface to, in use, retain the shell on the laptop half.
Computing Device with a Rotatable Display Member
Examples disclosed herein provide a computing device. One example computing device includes a base member, a support member rotatably connected to the base member at a first end of the support member, and a display member rotatably connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end of the support member. The computing device includes a kickstand rotatably connected to a back surface of the display member at a first end of the kickstand, and magnetic members to magnetically couple the support member with a second end of the kickstand opposite the first end of the kickstand. When the device is to change from a first operation mode to a second operation mode, the kickstand is to move along the support member via the magnetic coupling.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RUNNING FUNCTION ACCORDING TO TRANSFORMATION OF DISPLAY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display positioned on at least a surface of a housing of the electronic device, at least one sensor configured to sense a bend of the display and a mount of the electronic device, and a processor configured to control a running of an application, obtain information relating to a shape of the bend of the display and a form of the mount of the electronic device based on information sensed by the at least one sensor, determine a transformation type of the display based on the information relating to the shape of the bend and the form of the mount, when the electronic device is mounted in the determined transformation type, determine at least one display area in the display according to a first function of the application corresponding to the transformation type, and perform control to display an object relating to the first function on the determined display area.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING INFORMATION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a rotation support member; a support member configured to support the rotation support member; a rotation member movably coupled to the rotation support member; a display movably coupled to a surface of the rotation member; a driving device configured to drive the display; a memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control, if input information is received, driving of the rotation member to make the display corresponding to the received input information face a first direction, control, if the display moves to face the first direction, driving the rotation member to face a second direction for identify an external object, identifying, if the display is located to face the external object in the second direction, the external object, and display information on at least one function executed in connection with the identified external object on the display.
