FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING ELECTRICAL POWER TO EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC APPARATUS BY USING FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18338349 Titled 'FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING ELECTRICAL POWER TO EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC APPARATUS BY USING FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an electronic device that has a sensor module to determine if it is unfolded or folded. It also checks if a hidden surface becomes visible when unfolded and is placed on a surface. If these conditions are met, it checks if another electronic device is present on a charging unit. If so, it turns on a sub display and wirelessly supplies power to the external device while keeping the sub display on.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus uses a sensor module to check whether the electronic apparatus is in an unfolded state, uses the sensor module to check whether a first surface, which is concealed in a folded state and externally visible in the unfolded state, is lying on an external ground surface, checks, in response to the electronic apparatus being in the unfolded state and the first surface lying on the external ground surface, whether the external electronic apparatus is present on a charging unit, turns on a screen of a sub display, which is facing in the opposite direction as the first surface, in response to the external electronic apparatus being present on the charging unit, uses the charging unit to wirelessly supply electrical power to the external electronic apparatus, and keeps the screen of the sub display on while electrical power is being supplied to the external electronic apparatus.
