ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING HINGE STRUCTURE AS ANTENNA: abstract simplified (18328176)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18328176 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING HINGE STRUCTURE AS ANTENNA'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an electronic device that includes a housing, a hinge with a conductive part, and a wireless communication circuit. The housing has two frames, each with a conductive part. In the first state, the wireless communication circuit transmits or receives a signal of a specific frequency band using the conductive parts of the frames. In the second state, the wireless communication circuit uses the conductive parts of the frames and the conductive part of the hinge to transmit or receive the same signal.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided, The electronic device includes a housing, a hinge including a conductive portion, at least one contact electrically connecting the conductive portion and at least one of a first frame and second frame of the housing, and a wireless communication circuit. The first frame includes a first conductive portion. The second frame includes a second conductive portion. In a first state, the wireless communication circuit at least one of transmits or receives a signal of a first frequency band, based on the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion. In a second state, the wireless communication circuit at least one of transmits or receives the signal of the first frequency band, based on the first conductive portion and the conductive portion.
