Electronic Device, and Control Method for Movable Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916391 titled 'Electronic Device, and Control Method for Movable Assembly
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a movable assembly that includes an optical proximity sensor. The movable assembly is separate from a fixed assembly and can move on a parallel plane. The position of the movable assembly relative to the fixed assembly is determined by the light intensity of the light reflected by the fixed assembly and detected by the optical proximity sensor. The technology determines if the movable assembly reaches a specified target position based on the detected light intensity.
- An electronic device with a movable assembly and an optical proximity sensor is described.
- The movable assembly can move on a parallel plane relative to a fixed assembly.
- The position of the movable assembly is determined by the light intensity of the light reflected by the fixed assembly.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a movable assembly. An optical proximity sensor is disposed on the movable assembly. The movable assembly may be spaced from a fixed assembly on the electronic device, and the movable assembly can move on a plane that is disposed in parallel relative to the fixed assembly. A light intensity of light that is from the optical proximity sensor and that is reflected by the fixed assembly may reflect a position of the movable assembly relative to the fixed assembly. Whether the movable assembly moves to a specified target position may be determined based on the light intensity of the light that is reflected by the fixed assembly and that is detected by the optical proximity sensor.
