An Apparatus and a Method for a Controllable Foldable Display with Haptic and Sound Effect - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17759022 titled 'An Apparatus and a Method for a Controllable Foldable Display with Haptic and Sound Effect
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a foldable touch display, a motor, and a controller. The motor controls a mechanism that allows the foldable touch display to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state in a rolling motion. The controller is responsible for detecting user input, calculating the velocity vector of the input, and controlling the motor accordingly to switch the display between the unfolded and folded states based on the calculated velocity vector.
- The apparatus includes a foldable touch display that can be switched between an unfolded and folded state.
- A motor is used to control a rolling mechanism that enables the folding and unfolding motion of the display.
- A controller is responsible for detecting user input and calculating the velocity vector of the input.
- The controller then controls the motor based on the calculated velocity vector to switch the display between the unfolded and folded states.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices with foldable displays that can be easily switched between folded and unfolded states.
- Tablets or laptops with foldable displays that can be compactly folded for easy transportation.
- E-readers with foldable displays that can provide a larger screen size when unfolded.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a convenient and efficient way to switch between folded and unfolded states of a foldable touch display.
- Enables the creation of compact and portable devices with larger screen sizes.
- Enhances user experience by allowing for quick and seamless transitions between different display configurations.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved portability and convenience for users who require larger screen sizes on the go.
- Enables the development of innovative and versatile mobile devices with foldable displays.
- Enhances user interaction by providing a responsive and intuitive folding mechanism for the touch display.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus, comprising: a foldable touch display; a motor adapted to control a mechanism for switching the foldable touch display between an unfolded state and a folded state in a rolling motion; and a controller adapted to: detect a user input, calculate a velocity vector of the user input, and control the motor for switching the foldable touch display between the unfolded state and the folded state according to the calculated velocity vector of the user input.
