Multiple displays for a portable electronic device and a method of use
A multiple display system having at least two mechanical arrangements such that in one of the at least two arrangements one of the multiple displays is stowed, out of the way mechanically and visually, when only a first display is in use; and one of the other of the at least two arrangements wherein the other of the multiple displays is substantially coplanar and adjacent to the one screen when both screens are in use. The other display in the one of the other of the at least two arrangements also runs the graphical user interface of an application, permitting the multiple display system to offer at least two programs running simultaneously, each with its own visual user-interface operating on its own display.
Bluetooth Keyboard With A Protective Case For A Tablet PC
A Bluetooth keyboard with a protective case for a tablet PC is disclosed, including a keyboard body, a protective case for fixed installation of the tablet PC, a swivel base, and a locking member. The keyboard body is provided with a positioning sleeve, a lower end of the swivel base is configured to be rotatably inserted in the positioning sleeve and rotatable relative to the positioning sleeve around a first axis of rotation. The locking member is removably mounted in the mounting slot and is configured to be embedded in the inset slots. The Bluetooth keyboard has a two-way rotation function, which can adjust orientations of screen of the tablet PC fixed on the protective case to improve the flexibility of use, and makes the configuration more simple, easy to install, and can reduce production costs.
ARTICLE MOUNTING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM COMPRISING SAME
An article mounting system comprises an article mounting apparatus and an article (e.g., accessory item) including a first article mount integral therewith. The article mounting apparatus comprises a main body and a first article attachment body. The first article attachment body is movably attached to the main body for enabling the first article attachment body to be moved between a first use position relative to the main body and a second use position relative to the main body. The first article attachment body includes set of retention members engageable with a set of mating retention members of the first article mount. Such engagement provides for the first article mount to be releasably retain in a selected one of a plurality of available mounting positions relative to the first article attachment body.
HINGE AND FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
A hinge includes: a supporting base extending in a first direction; and at least two flip parts both rotatably connected to the supporting base. The at least two flip parts are configured to be distributed on two opposite sides of the supporting base in a second direction in case that the hinge is in an unfolded state, and the second direction intersects with the first direction. The flip part includes a first rotating member, and a first connecting portion connected to a first end of the first rotating member. The supporting base has a first arc-shaped sliding groove, and a part of the first connecting portion is located in the first arc-shaped sliding groove.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATING A CAMERA APPLICATION BASED ON DETECTING AN INTENT TO CAPTURE A PHOTOGRAPH OR A VIDEO
A method of automatically activating a camera application implemented in a mobile device in locked mode starts with the processor receiving a first signal from an accelerometer. The device's processor activates the camera application when the processor determines that the mobile device has remained in a stationary portrait or landscape position for a period of time based on the first signal. Activating the camera application includes signaling by the processor to the display device to display a camera screen from a locked screen. The processor may also receive a second signal from a proximity sensor that detects presence of a nearby object to the mobile device. When the processor determines that there is presence of the nearby object to the mobile device based on the second signal, the mobile device remains in locked mode and the processor does not activate the camera application.
Mobile electronic device and character input method
An object is to provide a mobile electronic device and a character input method which can shorten a view point movement distance of a user even in a state where the display screen of the display unit is used horizontally. The control unit displays the first character kind character left aligned on an upper side of the display screen, and displays the second character kind character right aligned on a lower side of the display screen. When a predetermined operation is performed with the operation unit, the control unit maintains the display of either one of the first character kind character and the second character kind character on the display screen according to the operated action while maintaining the display position, and deletes the display of the other one of the first character kind character and the second character kind character.
COOLING DEVICE FOR COOLING PORTABLE INFORMATION DEVICES
An electronic apparatus capable of achieving sufficient heat transfer efficiency between a portable information device and a cooling device while preventing a heating member from being exposed at an outer surface of the portable information device is disclosed. The portable information device includes a heating body and a cooling device. The cooling device is detachably connected to the portable information device, and is configured to absorb heat from the heating body. The portable information device includes a heat-dissipation heat sink thermally connected to the heating body, and multiple apparatus shutter members covering the heat-dissipation heat sink so that the heat-dissipation heat sink can be freely covered and uncovered. The cooling device includes a shutter driving mechanism that opens the apparatus shutter members when the portable information device is connected to the cooling device, and a heat-receiving heat sink thermally connected to the heat-dissipation heat sink.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORT STAND
An electronic device support stand is a support stand for electronic devices that enables rotating the supported electronic device in a confined space with substantially no force while holding the electronic device securely. The electronic device support stand has a holding unit configured to hold an electronic device; and a base unit that supports the holding unit. The holding unit includes a pivot mechanism enabling rotating the supported electronic device with substantially no load around an axis parallel to the surface on which the base unit is placed.
Electronic device
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first foldable main body, a second foldable main body disposed on a side of the first foldable main body, a rotating shaft disposed between the first foldable main body and the second foldable main body and configured to rotationally connect the two foldable main bodies, and a detection assembly configured to detect a relative angle between the two foldable main bodies.
Methods, systems and apparatus to manage a spatially dynamic display
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed An example apparatus to update a spatially adjustable display disclosed herein includes a display size monitor to acquire an indication of a size of the spatially adjustable display, a service image comparator to compare the indication of the size to a size model, and a source image adjuster to invoke visual configuration adjustments to an output image of the spatially adjustable display based on parameters identified in the size model.
