Electronic devices may be provided that contain flexible displays that are bent to form displays on multiple surfaces of the devices. Bent flexible displays may be bent to form front side displays and edge displays. Edge displays may be separated from front side displays or from other edge displays using patterned housing members, printed or painted masks, or by selectively activating and inactivating display pixels associated with the flexible display. Edge displays may alternately function as virtual buttons, virtual switches, or informational displays that are supplemental to front side displays. Virtual buttons may include transparent button members, lenses, haptic feedback components, audio feedback components, or other components for providing feedback to a user when virtual buttons are activated.

A feature phone type mobile phone includes a physical key and a display that displays a screen. A function to cause a notification screen to be displayed is always allocated to the physical key to allow the notification screen to be displayed on the screen while any screen is being displayed on the display.

An electronic device according to various embodiments includes: a housing; at least one input area disposed on an outer surface of the housing and facing a first direction; a sensor assembly including at least one pressure sensor disposed on an inner surface of the housing facing a second direction opposite the first direction, and configured to sense pressure applied to the input area; at least one first opening provided at a first portion of the housing adjacent to the sensor assembly; and a second opening provided at a second portion of the housing spaced apart from the first opening in the second direction, wherein the first opening and the second opening are configured to be deformed based on the pressure that is applied to the input area.

A mobile terminal is disclosed. A mobile terminal according to the present invention includes: a terminal body composed of at least one case; a display provided to a front side of the terminal body; and a rear input module provided to a rear side of the terminal body and including at least one button to receive control commands from a user, wherein the rear input module is covered by the at least one case such that the at least one button is not exposed. Accordingly, the rear input module is not exposed to the outside.

Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, and media for efficient emergency calling using digital devices. In some embodiments, a user is able to make an emergency call by a one-touch or dual-touch process. An authentication process may reduce inadvertent and unauthorized emergency calling. Persistent emergency buttons are also disclosed that may be used for calling emergency in different states of the device.

An electronic device is provided. A lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus is in contact with a function button. An accommodating structure is arranged in the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus. A stopping assembly is arranged on a side of a fingerprint hole close to the function button. Inserting a partial area of the stopping assembly into the accommodating structure enables the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus, when pressed, to move in movement space of the accommodating structure on the side of the fingerprint hole close to the function button, so as to limit a displacement amount of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus within a specific range, implementing the functions of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus and of the function button, and preventing the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus from being displaced from the originally designed position.

A display module, an electronic device, and an electronic device control method relate to the field of display technologies. A pressure sensor is integrated into a layered structure of the display module. The display module includes an active area and an inactive area. The inactive area includes the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor includes one or more pressure sensitive resistors, at least one pressure sensitive resistor is disposed at a same layer as a semiconductor active layer of the active area, and the at least one pressure sensitive resistor is made of a same material as the semiconductor active layer.

An electronic device including a button assembly is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a button member which is at least partially exposed to the outside of the housing, a substrate portion disposed in an inner space of the housing, a dome switch module mounted on the substrate portion, a bracket mounted inside the housing, and a block member which is disposed between the dome switch module and the bracket and includes a base portion coupled to one surface of the bracket, a contact portion in contact with the dome switch module, and a support portion disposed on the periphery the contact portion.

An electronic device including a housing including a front panel and a rear panel, the rear panel arranged on a side of the housing opposite the front panel, a processor configured to execute instructions and the processor being arranged within the housing, a display device configured to generate an interface based in part in response to the processor, where the display device is arranged in the front panel, a touchscreen associated with the display device and configured to sense a user input, where the user input is provided to the processor and where the touchscreen include part of the front panel, and a rear input arranged on the rear panel of the housing and configured to provide a dedicated input to the processor, the processor providing advanced user controls on the interface in response to operation of the rear input.

An electronic device includes a housing, a button hole disposed on a side of the housing, a physical button mounted in the button hole, a support bracket that supports the physical button, and a waterproof bracket that seals, on a side of the housing to which the button hole is adjacent, at least part of a specified area where the physical button and the support bracket are disposed. The waterproof bracket includes a first bracket that makes close contact inside the housing in a direction toward a first surface of the housing and a second bracket that extends from the first bracket while forming a predetermined angle with the first bracket and that makes close contact inside the housing in a direction toward a second surface of the housing that is different from the first surface of the housing.
