ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SLOT ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18083813 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SLOT ANTENNA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with two housings that can move relative to each other. The device includes a wireless communication circuit that provides power to a point on the first housing.

  • The electronic device has two housings that can move with respect to each other.
  • The first housing has a conductive region with a slot structure that extends to its edge.
  • The second housing also has a conductive region with a slot structure that extends to its edge.
  • The wireless communication circuit provides power to a point on the first slot structure.
  • The wireless communication circuit receives a first signal on a first electrical path through the first slot structure when the first and second edges are spaced apart.
  • The wireless communication circuit receives a second signal on a second electrical path through both slot structures when the first edge is in contact with the second edge.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile phones or tablets with detachable keyboards or accessories.
  • Laptops with detachable screens or additional modules.
  • Wearable devices with interchangeable components.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the design and manufacturing of electronic devices with movable parts.
  • Enables wireless communication and power transfer between the two housings.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection between the two housings.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced flexibility and versatility in electronic device design.
  • Improved user experience with detachable or interchangeable components.
  • Simplified assembly and maintenance of electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided that includes a first housing including a first conductive region with a first slot structure that extends to a first edge of the first housing. The electronic device also includes a second housing movable with respect to the first housing and including a second conductive region with a second slot structure that extends to a second edge of the second housing. The electronic device also includes a wireless communication circuit that feeds power to a point on the first slot structure. The wireless communication circuit receives a first signal on a first electrical path including the first slot structure while the first edge and the second edge are spaced apart from each other, and receives a second signal on a second electrical path including the first slot structure and the second slot structure while the first edge is in contact with the second edge.
