A terminal includes a camera and a sensor, where the sensor is configured to detect a status of holding the terminal by a user; the terminal displays a first interface, and displays a first photographing control on the first interface in response to detecting that a current status of holding the terminal by the user undergoes a change satisfying a preset condition, where the first interface is not a viewfinder interface of the terminal; and the terminal displays a second interface in response to an operation of the user on the first photographing control, where the second interface is a viewfinder interface of the terminal.

The invention relates to a method for securing a manoeuvre of a motor vehicle, according to which an order for activation of first data is sent to a mobile terminal by a control unit of the motor vehicle, the first data is displayed on the screen of said mobile terminal in an area opposite the antenna area so as to induce the implementation of a continuous movement by a user on the screen of said mobile terminal in said opposite area, second data relating to the implementation of said continuous movement by the user is generated by the mobile terminal, said second data is compared with an expected result, and if the comparison is positive, said manoeuvre is executed by the control unit.

A handheld electronic device comprises of a lower slat having a top surface touchscreen and an upper slat having a top surface touchscreen. A plurality of multiple-foldable sectional touchscreens in between the said slats has one end connected to the upper slat surface touchscreen and the other end connected to the lower slat surface touchscreen. A fan-out embodiment has a plurality of tapered sectional screens each supported by a rib, and a pivoting rivet linking upper and lower slats for fan-out opening. A pull-out embodiment has rectangular sectional screens supported by stiffening backing and expandable side frame supports for opening and closing the device slats. Another pull-out device embodiment has no foldable screens in between slats to form a two-screen, parallel slat device when opened.

A mobile device has at least one grip handle disposed on the back surface of the mobile device. The grip handle comprises at least one grip surface that enables a user to grasp the mobile device and use it with one hand of the user. Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed.

A mobile device having an internal frame and a sidebar configured to be coupled to the internal frame. The sidebar can include at least one button positioned in a button configuration on an exterior face of the sidebar and a sidebar contact positioned on an interior face of the sidebar. The sidebar can be positioned to interface with a frame contact when the sidebar is coupled to the internal frame. The frame can be operably coupled to a controller for a mobile device such that coupling the sidebar contact to the frame contact operably connects the at least one button of the sidebar to the controller. The sidebar can be exchanged with or decoupled from the frame and replaced with a second sidebar having a different button configuration from the original sidebar.

A finger support apparatus for supporting a pinky finger during use of a smart phone includes a mounting portion configured to plug in or otherwise be inserted into a port of a smart phone case, the port being positioned along a bottom edge of the case. The finger support apparatus includes a body portion rotatably coupled to the mounting portion so as to be rotatably movable to an orientation desired by a user, i.e. to be optimally positioned depending on a user's preference in how the smart phone is held. The body portion may include a curved or ergonomic configuration to enhance grip of a user's finger and may have a tactile surface.

The embodiments herein describe a mode of applications on the portable electronic device that improves single-handed operation of the devices. For example, the embodiments herein describe an ergonomic mode of an application that displays the graphical user interface (GUI) of the application in a bottom area of the display screen of the electronic device to allow the user to more easily interact with objects. The embodiments herein also describe an ergonomic mode of a keyboard displayed on the display screen of the portable electronic device. During the ergonomic mode of the keyboard, the keyboard is shifted towards a vertical edge of the display screen to allow a user to more easily reach keys of the keyboard that were previously unreachable without the user switching to two handed operation of the device or repositioning the electronic device in the user's hand.

A mobile communication device configured to be worn on an index finger of a user's hand. The device includes a case, a microphone, a switch, and a power source. The microphone and the switch are strategically located along a shape of the case so that as worn on the user's index finger and when the switch is activated by the thumb of the user's hand, the hand naturally cups about the microphone to form a barrier to ambient noise. Further, the microphone can readily be located near a corner of the user's mouth for optimal speech-receiving conditions and to provide more private audio input.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel, a mobile terminal and a method for controlling a mobile terminal which may allow a user to perform single hand operations on a large-size mobile terminal to improve the convenience of the mobile terminal. The display panel includes: a first substrate; a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate; and a single hand operation sensing unit arranged on the first substrate or the second substrate, which is configured to sense a single hand holding operation of a user and to trigger the display panel to demagnify an operation graphic interface displayed in full-screen and display the demagnified operation graphic interface in a predetermined single hand operation comfortable region positioned on the basis of a holding position in case that the single hand holding operation of the user is sensed.

A mobile device has at least one grip handle disposed on the back surface of the mobile device. The grip handle comprises at least one grip surface that enables a user to grasp the mobile device and use it with one hand of the user. Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed.
