ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH HINGE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18078395 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH HINGE UNIT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with two housings that can rotate with respect to each other. The device includes a display module, a hinge unit, and a driving module that opens and closes doors on the housings based on the rotation angle.
- The electronic device has a display module with a display screen.
- It consists of two housings that can rotate with respect to each other.
- The first housing has a display module, while the second housing has doors on both surfaces.
- A hinge unit connects the first and second housings, allowing them to rotate.
- A driving module is connected to the hinge unit and the doors, allowing them to open and close.
- The driving module moves with the rotation of the second housing.
- The first door opens when the rotation angle is less than a first angle.
- The second door opens when the rotation angle is greater than a second angle.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices with rotating screens, such as smartphones or tablets.
- Laptops or convertible devices with rotating screens.
- Gaming devices with interactive doors or compartments.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a convenient way to access different parts of the device without the need for additional buttons or controls.
- Allows for a compact design by integrating the doors into the housing.
- Enhances user experience by providing a unique and interactive feature.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved functionality and versatility of electronic devices.
- Simplified user interface by using the rotation angle to control the doors.
- Enhanced aesthetics with a sleek and integrated design.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a first housing including a display module including a display screen, a second housing rotatable with respect to the first housing to define a rotation angle therebetween, the second housing including a first door provided at one surface and a second door provided at a surface which is opposite to the one surface, a hinge unit configured to rotatably connect the first housing to the second housing, and a driving module connecting the hinge unit to each of the first door and second door, the driving module moveable together with rotation of the second housing with respect to the first housing, to open and close the first door and the second door. the driving module is configured to open the first door when the rotation angle is less than a first angle and open the second door when the rotation angle is greater than a second angle.
