ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378440 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device consists of three housings that are movably coupled to each other. A flexible display is present on at least a portion of each housing. The device also includes at least one sensor, one or more electromagnets, at least one processor, and a memory.
The patent application explains that the device is capable of detecting a state change in the arrangement of the housings through the sensor. Based on this state change, the device can control the magnetism of at least one electromagnet. The memory stores instructions that enable the processor to execute these actions.
- The electronic device consists of three movably coupled housings.
- A flexible display is present on each housing.
- At least one sensor is included in the device.
- One or more electromagnets are present.
- The device includes at least one processor and a memory.
- The memory stores instructions for controlling the electromagnets based on state changes detected by the sensor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Foldable smartphones or tablets with flexible displays.
- Wearable devices with adjustable form factors.
- Portable electronic devices with expandable screens.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables the creation of devices with flexible displays that can change their form factor.
- Provides a mechanism for detecting and responding to changes in the arrangement of device components.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience with devices that can adapt to different usage scenarios.
- Increased portability and convenience with devices that can be folded or expanded.
- Enables the development of innovative and versatile electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a first housing; a second housing movably coupled to the first housing; a third housing movably coupled to the second housing; a flexible display on at least a portion of the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing; at least one sensor; one or more electromagnets; at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one sensor; and a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to: detect, through the at least one sensor, a state change in at least one of first arrangement of the first housing with respect to the second housing or second arrangement of the third housing with respect to the second housing, and, based on the state change, control magnetism of at least one electromagnet among the one or more electromagnets.
