One or more output devices are communicatively coupled to the processing unit and configured to provide an output in response to the one or more sensors generating an electrical signal.

A computing device can include a housing including a peripheral housing defining an aperture, the peripheral housing having a constant cross-sectional area. The computing device can also include a display having a first major surface and a second major surface opposing the first major surface, the display disposed within the aperture defined by the peripheral housing and attached to the housing at one or more locations such that the first major surface and the second major surface of the display are substantially unobstructed by any other portion of the computing device.

A foldable mechanism and a display device including the foldable mechanism are disclosed. The foldable mechanism includes a first folding hinge, a second folding hinge, a third folding hinge, a fourth folding hinge, a first casing, a second casing, a third casing, and a fourth casing. The foldable mechanism is multifunctional and has both inward bending and outward bending functions, so that the display device can operate in three display states: a tablet display state, a mobile phone display state, and a notebook display state.

A foldable display device includes: a foldable display panel including a folding line, a first display area, and a second display area which displays a virtual keyboard including virtual keys in a keyboard mode; a touch panel including touch electrodes for receiving a touch input; a data driver which outputs a data voltage to the foldable display panel; a driving controller which controls the data driver; and a touch data generator which generates touch data based on the touch input, determines at least two input key values of the input key values as a typographical error when the at least two input key values are simultaneously input, and outputs the touch data including the at least two input key values determined as the typographical error to the driving controller. The driving controller activates a typographical error notification function and a typographical error correction function based on the touch data.

Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling the presentation of one or more virtual or graphical elements on a display in response to bimanual hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a first hand and defines an input plane relative to a surface of the detected first hand. The image processing system also detects a series of bimanual hand shapes, including the detected first hand and at least one fingertip of a second hand. In response, the system presents a first movable element on the display at a location that is correlated with the current fingertip location. In addition, the image processing system determines whether the detected series of bimanual hand shapes matches a predefined hand gesture. In response to a matching gesture, the system executes a selecting action of an element nearest the current fingertip location.

The disclosure relates to a display device and a method of driving the same. The display device includes: a display panel which displays an image in a plurality of pixel areas; a timing controller which supplies a control signal for controlling a display position, a display shape, a display size and the number of at least one touch bar; and a data driver which supplies a data signal to display the at least one touch bar at the display position in response to the control signal.

In various embodiments, a method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided involving, at a first device: opening the application on the first device, performing an action utilizing an application, updating a state of the application, for being communicated with the second device; and, at a second device: utilizing the updated state of the application received from the first device, displaying an interface including: a button for opening the application utilizing the second device, and indicia that indicates that the first device has updated at least one aspect of the application, and in response to a detection of the selection of the button, accessing the application utilizing the second device such that the application is accessed so as to reflect the updated state of the application.

An example method of identifying a touch gesture on a user is provided. The method includes receiving, by one or more transducers of a wearable device, a set of signals that establish a signal pathway to the wearable device. The method also includes, while receiving the set of signals, determining baseline characteristics for the signal pathway, and sensing a change in the baseline characteristics caused by user interaction with an affordance of a user interface projected or perceived on the user's appendage. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the sensed change in the baseline characteristics satisfies a contact criterion, reporting a candidate touch event on the user's appendage to a separate electronic device that creates the user interface or is in communication with another electronic device that creates the user interface.

A text input method and apparatus based on a virtual keyboard are provided, which relate to the field of human-computer interaction, and resolve a problem of how to complete text input based on the virtual keyboard. The method includes an electronic device that detects key points of a first hand based on an image including the first hand after obtaining the image including the first hand, and projects a virtual keyboard on the first hand based on the key points of the first hand. Further, after obtaining an image including the first hand and a finger of a second hand, the electronic device identifies, based on the image including the first hand and the finger of the second hand, a contact state or a pressing state between the finger of the second hand and the first hand.
