ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING WHETHER A COVER IS ATTACHED THERETO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17813258 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING WHETHER A COVER IS ATTACHED THERETO

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a housing that has two surfaces and an inner space. The device includes a board, a geomagnetic sensor, and a processor. The geomagnetic sensor can detect magnetic forces when different cover parts with magnetic members are placed on the surfaces of the device.

  • The electronic device has a housing with two surfaces and an inner space.
  • A board is placed inside the inner space of the device.
  • A geomagnetic sensor is mounted on the board.
  • The geomagnetic sensor can detect a first magnetic force when a first cover part with a first magnetic member is placed on the first surface of the device.
  • The geomagnetic sensor can also detect a second magnetic force when a second cover part with a second magnetic member is placed on the second surface of the device, while the first cover part is still in place.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices to detect magnetic forces from different directions.
  • It can be used for compass applications, augmented reality, or any other application that requires accurate detection of magnetic forces.

Problems Solved:

  • The device allows for the detection of magnetic forces from different directions by using different cover parts with magnetic members.
  • It simplifies the process of detecting magnetic forces by providing a housing with two surfaces and an inner space.

Benefits:

  • The device provides accurate detection of magnetic forces from different directions.
  • It allows for a simplified design by using different cover parts instead of complex internal components.
  • It can enhance the functionality of electronic devices by enabling compass applications or augmented reality experiences.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction; and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein an inner space is formed between the first surface and the second surface; a board disposed in the inner space; a geomagnetic sensor disposed on the board; and a processor. The geomagnetic sensor is configured to detect a first magnetic force, when a first cover part of the cover, including a first magnetic member, is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device, and detect a second magnetic force, when a second cover part of the cover, including a second magnetic member, is disposed to cover the second surface from the second direction of the electronic device in a state where the first cover part is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device.
