A method can include commencing generation of authentication data using a first human input component operatively coupled to a device, where the device includes a processor, memory accessible to the processor, a display operatively coupled to the processor, and a second human input component that includes an input surface, and where the input surface is inaccessible at the time of commencing generation of the authentication data; authenticating the authentication data; and responsive to the authenticating, transitioning the device to a state where the input surface of the second human input component is accessible and enabled for input.

In one embodiment, a method for managing visual uniformity in a foldable display includes identifying a hinge angle of the foldable display, the hinge angle indicating a degree to which the foldable display is opened or closed; receiving surface curvature data from a plurality of sensors of the foldable display, the surface curvature data indicating a mechanical state of a surface of the foldable display; accessing a plurality of surface maps stored in a display database of the foldable display, each of the plurality of surface maps indicating one or more display settings associated with a respective mechanical state of the surface of the foldable display; retrieving the one or more display settings from the display database based on the hinge angle and the surface curvature data; and causing a plurality of pixels to illuminate using the one or more display settings.

The present application discloses a foldable display device, including a display panel including a bendable region; a supporter disposed under the display panel to support the display panel, the supporter including a bending portion located below the bendable region, a buffer space formed between the bending portion and the bendable region; and an air pump mounted on the supporter, and in communication with the buffer space.

A thin portable communication terminal that includes a casing having a rectangular parallelepiped shape; one pair of arm portions each having one end that is axially supported to be turnable with respect to corresponding one of both side faces on longer sides of the casing; hand portions each disposed at another end of corresponding one of the one pair of arm portions; and a leg portion disposed on one side face that is on a shorter side of the casing and is capable of independent movement.

A mobile terminal including a sensing unit for detecting a movement between a first frame and a second frame movable in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the first frame may accurately determine a position of the second frame, and may slidably move stably.

An item such as a fabric-based item may have a layer of fabric such as a layer of woven fabric. The fabric layer may include insulating warp and weft strands. Conductive strands may be woven into the fabric layer and may form electrodes for a touch sensor. Chemical etching or other processing techniques may be used to form an array of openings. In each opening, some or all of the insulating warp and weft strands may be removed so that each opening passes partly or fully through the fabric layer and locally thins the fabric layer. Keys may be formed from key members and switches. The key members may overlap respective locally thinned areas of the fabric layer formed from the openings. The conductive strands may extend across the openings and may be overlapped by the key members and switches.

A hollow hinge includes a first hollow component, a second hollow component and a plurality of support assemblies. The first hollow component has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a plurality of concave portions are disposed on the second surface. The second hollow component is disposed on the second surface of the first hollow component and a plurality of receiving portions corresponding to the concave portions are disposed on the second hollow component. The support assemblies are respectively contained in the receiving portions and continuously butt against the first hollow component through a force. The hollow hinge avoids friction between components and strengthens support, thereby prolonging durability and improving assembly and production yield rate.

A rotating mechanism includes a first mount having a shaft hole, a second mount having a mounting part and a shaft part, a first engagement component, and a positioning assembly having a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure. The shaft part passes through the shaft hole so that the second mount is rotatable relative to the first mount. The first engagement component is fixed to the second mount and located on one side of the first mount away from the mounting part of the second mount, so that the first engagement component rotates relative to the first mount along with the second mount. The first positioning structure disposed on the first mount and the second positioning structure disposed on the first engagement component are matching recess and protrusion that are engaged with each other so as to position the first mount and the second mount.

An electronic device includes a first part. The electronic device also includes a second part that is configured to move with respect to the first part. The electronic further device includes a magnetic member that is disposed on one of the first part and the second part. Additionally, the electronic device includes a sensor that is disposed on the other one of the first part and the second part and facing the magnetic member. The magnetic member includes a body extending in a movement direction of the second part and magnets respectively disposed at both ends of the magnetic member such that different polarities are close to each other.

A master device is capable of communicating with an external device. The master device is capable of installing a slave device and allowing the slave device being detached from the master device. The slave device is capable of communicating with the master device after it is detached from the master device. The master device includes a main body and a bracket connected to the main body. The main body includes a front surface and a rear surface disposed opposite to the front surface. The front surface is provided with a receiving groove. The bracket is located at a side of the front surface. The bracket is capable of being rotated to a first position and a second position relative to the main body. The bracket is received in the receiving groove when in the first position, and is rotated out of the receiving groove when in the second position.
