ANTENNA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949591 titled 'ANTENNA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a metal housing that has at least one opening. Inside the housing, there is a key button assembly that is partially exposed through the opening. Below the key button assembly, there is a support frame, and beneath that, an antenna structure is fixed. The antenna structure includes a substrate and at least one antenna element. Additionally, there is a wireless communication circuit in the device that forms a directional beam towards the key button assembly through the antenna element.

  • The electronic device has a metal housing with at least one opening.
  • A key button assembly is partially exposed through the opening.
  • A support frame is placed below the key button assembly.
  • An antenna structure is fixed beneath the support frame.
  • The antenna structure includes a substrate and at least one antenna element.
  • A wireless communication circuit is present in the device.
  • The wireless communication circuit forms a directional beam towards the key button assembly through the antenna element.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
  • It can enhance wireless communication capabilities in these devices.

Problems Solved

  • The antenna structure is positioned in a way that it corresponds to the opening in the housing, allowing for better signal reception and transmission.
  • The directional beam formed by the wireless communication circuit improves the efficiency and range of wireless communication.

Benefits

  • The metal housing provides durability and protection to the electronic device.
  • The partially exposed key button assembly allows for easy access and operation.
  • The antenna structure and wireless communication circuit improve the wireless communication capabilities of the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing including at least one opening and made of a metal material, a key button assembly disposed in an inner space of the housing and disposed to be at least partially exposed to an outside through the at least one opening, a support frame disposed beneath the key button assembly in the inner space, an antenna structure fixed beneath the support frame and positioned to at least partially correspond to the at least one opening, the antenna structure including a substrate and at least one antenna element disposed on the substrate, and a wireless communication circuit disposed in the inner space and configured to form a directional beam in a designated frequency band toward the key button assembly through the at least one antenna element.
