FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF FINGERPRINT SENSORS
According to certain embodiments, a foldable electronic device comprises: a first housing; a hinge; a second housing coupled to the first housing by the hinge; a first display disposed on a front surface of the first housing, and a second display disposed on a front surface of the second housing; a sensor mounting module disposed in the second housing; a first fingerprint sensor that is mounted on the sensor mounting module and disposed between the front surface of the second housing and the second display; and a second fingerprint sensor that is mounted on the sensor mounting module and is disposed on a rear surface of the second housing.
Notebook computer
A notebook computer is provided. The notebook computer includes a first body, a second body, and a pivotally connection structure. The first body includes a first surface, and the first surface includes a wireless signal transmitting element. The second body includes a second surface, and the second surface includes a wireless signal receiving element. The pivotally connection structure connects with the first body and the second body. When the second body rotates relative to the first body through the pivotally connection structure, the second surface moves toward the first surface, so that the wireless signal receiving element is aligned with the wireless signal transmitting element.
Audiovisual device with tiltable display
A device may include a display, a housing, a base, and a hinge operably coupling the display and the housing. The hinge may be moveable over a range of positions. One or more loudspeakers are disposed in the housing. A motor couples to the housing and is configured to rotate the housing and the display. The base is configured to remain stationary during actuation of the motor. In some instances, the device may include a camera and one or more microphones for determining a position of a user. The motor may actuate in a direction of the user to provide increase audio and/or visual experiences.
Portable computer monitor
A portable system for carrying a monitor and a computing device inside a case. The case can be made from two shells attached together by a hinge. A monitor can be housed in each shell, the monitors operatively connected to each other. The monitor and any other components in the first shell can be connected to the monitor and any other components in the second shell via cables fed through a conduit connecting the first shell to the second shell. The conduit is on the inside of the case to protect the cables when the case is in the closed configuration. One or both shells can further have an auxiliary door through which a thin component, such as a keyboard, tablet, laptop, and the like can be inserted into the case. One or both shells can be equipped with ports for power, and communicating and networking with other devices.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a housing; a roller installed inside the housing; a display unit wound around the roller; a link having a first arm rotatably mounted to the display unit and a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm and rotatably mounted to the housing; a lead screw installed inside the housing; a slider that moves over the lead screw according to the rotation of the lead screw; a rod having one side connected to the slider and the other side connected to the second arm; an upper bar coupled to the upper side of the display unit; a first lock magnet located below the upper bar; and a second lock magnet corresponding to the first lock magnet and located above the bottom surface of the housing.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HINGE STRUCTURE
An electronic device includes a first and second housing, a sensor module, and a hinge. The hinge includes first and second rotary members, a first arm rotatable about a first arm shaft, operating in conjunction with rotation of the first rotary member, wherein a rotational axis of the first arm shaft is different from the first axis of rotation, a second arm rotatable about a second arm shaft, operating in conjunction with rotation of the second rotary member, wherein a rotational axis of the second arm shaft is different from the second axis of rotation, and a magnet assembly disposed on at least one of the first arm member or the second arm member such that at least a portion of the magnet assembly faces the sensor, wherein a distance between the magnet and the sensor is changeable based on rotation of the first and second housing.
Balanced charge and discharge control for asymmetric dual battery system
In some examples, a system includes a primary side with a charger and a first battery and a secondary side with a second battery. The charger on the primary side can charge both the first battery and the second battery. A hinge resistance is between the primary side and the secondary side. The primary side includes a feedback controlled active device in a current path of the first battery that compensates for the hinge resistance, for connector resistances, or for battery impedances in a current path of the second battery.
Desktop Signal Booster
Technology for a desktop signal booster is disclosed. The desktop signal booster can include one or more amplification and filtering signal paths configured to amplify and filter a cellular signal for a wireless device. The desktop signal booster can include wireless charging circuitry configured to wirelessly charge the wireless device when the wireless device is placed within a selected distance from the desktop signal booster.
Displaying a unified desktop across connected devices
Embodiments provide for a handheld device with a unified desktop for integrating the functionality of the handheld device with a larger computer system. When connected to a peripheral display and/or a display of the larger computer system, the handheld device provides a unified desktop displayed across the screen(s) of the handheld device and the peripheral display. The unified desktop unifies the functionality provided by the larger computer system and the handheld functionality, e.g., communication applications (e.g., phone, SMS, MMS). A user can seamlessly interact with applications, e.g., open, move, close, receive notifications, on the unified desktop whether the applications are displayed on the screens of the handheld device, or the peripheral display of the larger computer system.
ANTENNA EXCITATION THROUGH LAPTOP HINGE
According to an aspect, a computing device includes a first enclosure, a second enclosure, a hinge coupled to the first enclosure and the second enclosure, and a hinge-based antenna defined by a slot of the hinge and a portion of an air gap disposed between the first enclosure and the second enclosure, where the slot of the hinge is aligned with the portion of the air gap, and the hinge-based antenna includes an antenna feed element disposed within the slot of the hinge and configured to excite the portion of the air gap.
