MOBILE DEVICE CONNECTION APPARATUS
A mobile device connection apparatus, method and system is disclosed which allows a user to physically connect or tether, without the use of adhesive, a mobile device with a case to a user, surface, or structure. The mobile device connection apparatus comprises multiple layers of materials to create a connection point for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, which is compatible with devices with a case, reusable, and robust and prevents mobile devices from being damaged, lost, and stolen. Further the mobile device connection apparatus allows a user to interact with their phone in new ways.
HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A mobile phone may include a display, an enclosure enclosing the display and including a front cover positioned over the display and defining a front exterior surface, and a rear cover defining a rear exterior surface and a raised sensor array region along the rear exterior surface. The raised sensor array region may define a first hole and a second hole. The second hole may be defined by a first opening along an interior surface of the rear cover and having a first opening size and a second opening along the rear exterior surface of the rear cover and having a second opening size smaller than the first opening size. The mobile phone may further include a first camera having a first lens assembly extending into the first hole, and a second camera having a second lens assembly extending into the second hole.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SUPPORT MEMBER
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a support member formed of a first material and including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and an accommodation space formed between the first surface and the second surface, and an indicator formed of a second material different from the first material, at least partially disposed inside the accommodation space, and including a third surface visually exposed to an outside of the support member and forming substantially a same surface with at least a part of the first surface of the support member.

An electronic device includes an enclosure formed of a plurality of layers cooperating to define an interior volume. The enclosure includes a first layer formed of a first material and defining a user input surface of the enclosure and a first portion of a side surface of the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a second layer, formed of a second material different from the first material, positioned below the first layer and defining a second portion of the side surface of the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a third layer, formed of a third material different from the first and second materials, positioned below the second layer and defining a bottom surface of the enclosure and a third portion of the side surface of the enclosure.
Contact structure and electronic device including same
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a housing that includes a first plate oriented in a first direction, a second plate oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side member covering a space between the first plate and the second plate; a printed circuit board disposed in the space of the housing; a contact structure that is processed and formed toward at least one side of the printed circuit board from the side member of the housing and provides a contact point with an external electronic device; and a contact point structure that is disposed between the contact structure and the printed circuit board. The contact structure includes: at least one contact part of which at least a part is exposed to an external space and is made of the same material as the side member; and an insulating part, disposed around the at least one contact part, for separating the contact part and the side member from each other.
Corrosion resistance for anodized parts having convex surface features
Anodic oxide coatings that provide corrosion resistance to parts having protruding features, such as edges, corners and convex-shaped features, are described. According to some embodiments, the anodic oxide coatings include an inner porous layer and an outer porous layer. The inner layer is adjacent to an underlying metal substrate and is formed under compressive stress anodizing conditions that allow the inner porous layer to be formed generally crack-free. In this way, the inner porous layer acts as a barrier that prevents water or other corrosion-inducing agents from reaching the underlying metal substrate. The outer porous layer can be thicker and harder than the inner porous layer, thereby increasing the overall hardness of the anodic oxide coating.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING METAL MEMBER
An electronic device according to an embodiment may include a housing comprising: an outer portion defining at least a portion of an exterior of the electronic device and comprising a first conductive material, an inner portion comprising a second conductive material having a first melting point different from that of the first conductive material and at least partially defining a space for receiving multiple electronic components arranged inside the electronic device, and a middle portion comprising a third conductive material having a second melting point and an injection molded insulator, wherein the third conductive material of the middle portion and the first conductive material of the outer portion are coupled to form a concave-convex structure, a difference between the first melting point and the second melting point is in a first range, and the third conductive material of the middle portion is electrically connected to the second conductive material of the inner portion.
Electronic device including housing
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes: a window; a display disposed in a first direction of the window; a housing including a first surface and a second surface extended from the first surface toward the window; a first film layer disposed on an inner surface of the housing and including: a first area that overlaps at least a portion of the first surface and is substantially transparent or translucent; and a second area that is extended from an edge of the first area along the second surface, and is substantially opaque; and a second film layer disposed on the first film layer in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the second film layer overlapping an entirety of the first area of the first film layer and overlapping a portion of the second area. Other embodiments are possible.
Smart device with an integrated radar system
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart device with an integrated radar system. The radar integrated circuit is positioned towards an upper-middle portion of a smart device to facilitate gesture recognition and reduce a false-alarm rate associated with other non-gesture related motions of a user. The radar integrated circuit is also positioned away from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas and a wireless charging receiver coil to reduce interference. The radar system operates in a low-power mode to reduce power consumption and facilitate mobile operation of the smart device. By limiting a footprint and power consumption of the radar system, the smart device can include other desirable features in a space-limited package (e.g., a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a display, and so forth).
