An interface device includes an electronic device and an input device configured to communicate with the electronic device. The electronic device includes a display layer and a sensing layer disposed under the display layer. The sensing layer transmits a first driving signal to the input device and sensing an input generated by the input device. The input device includes a resonance circuit unit in which a first magnetic field is generated based on the first driving signal, a control unit configured to control the resonance circuit unit, and a power supply unit providing power to the control unit. A second magnetic field is generated by the supply in the resonance circuit unit. The sensing layer senses the input based on the second magnetic field.

A phone appliance and method of use are provided where the phone appliance can be used to make VoIP communications calls. In a preferred embodiment, the phone appliance includes an RF connection for connecting to a computer or other computing device for facilitating the placement of the VoIP communications calls. The phone appliance further includes a display or portal for depicting advertisements provided by various advertisers. The advertisements provided can be used to defray all or part of the cost associated with making VoIP communications calls. The portal can also be used to communicate with businesses for ordering products. such as ordering a pizza, and to perform various services, such as purchasing stocks. In an exemplary system, the phone appliance is used to transmit to a control center information related to the user of the phone appliance, such as interests and buying habits, and queries for receiving additional information for various advertised products and services. The control center transmits the queries to the appropriate vendors for providing the user with additional information. Other functions and features are provided to the phone appliance, such as being able to download e-mail messages stored within or received by the computer.

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a first structure including a first plate including a first face and a second face facing away from the first face, and a second structure including a second plate, which faces the second face of the first plate and has an opening formed therein, and a first side wall extending from a first end portion of the second plate. The first structure may be movable between an open state and a closed state with respect to the second structure in a first direction with respect to the second plate. The second structure may be positioned at a first position from the first side wall when the first structure is in the closed state and positioned at a second distance, which is greater than the first distance, from the first side wall when the first structure is in the open state. The electronic device may further include a flexible touch screen display. The flexible touch screen display may include a planar portion extending across at least part of the first face, mounted to the first face, and having a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a bendable portion extending from the planar portion and positioned from the planar portion to the inside of a space between the first side wall and the first structure when in the closed state. The bendable portion may include a first portion extending from one end of the planar portion and having the same width as the first width, and a second portion extending from the first portion, facing the second plate, and having a second width less than the first width. The second portion of the bendable portion may be exposed visually at least in part to the outside of the electronic device through the opening of the second plate. At least part of the first portion of the bendable portion may be configured to construct substantially the same plane as the planar portion when the first structure transitions from the closed state to the open state. Other various embodiments are possible.
