PORTABLE TERMINAL HAVING SPEAKER AND ACOUSTIC OUTPUT PATH FOR SPEAKER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460209 titled 'PORTABLE TERMINAL HAVING SPEAKER AND ACOUSTIC OUTPUT PATH FOR SPEAKER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a housing that has a display visible through one surface and an opening on another surface. The device also includes a speaker and a sensor positioned within the housing.

  • The housing of the electronic device has a first surface with a display and a second surface with an opening.
  • The speaker is positioned within the housing and is configured to produce sound.
  • The first path is designed to guide the sound from the speaker to the opening on the first surface.
  • The second path is designed to guide the sound from the speaker to the opening on the first surface without overlapping the first path.
  • The sensor is positioned between the first path and the second path.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smartphones or tablets with improved sound quality and speaker placement.
  • Portable electronic devices with better audio performance and design.
  • Wearable devices with enhanced audio capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overlapping sound paths can cause distortion or muffled audio.
  • Placing a sensor between the sound paths can help optimize sound quality and prevent interference.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved sound quality and clarity for the user.
  • Enhanced user experience with better audio performance.
  • More efficient use of space within the electronic device.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side surface member enclosing the first surface and the second surface, a display visible through at least a portion of the first surface, an opening formed on a portion of the first surface, a speaker positioned within the housing, a sensor positioned within the housing, and a first path configured to guide a sound of the speaker to the opening, and a second path configured to guide the sound of the speaker to the opening and to avoid overlapping the first path, and at least a portion of the sensor is positioned between the first path and the second path.
