==BUTTON MECHANISM FOR WATERPROOF HOUSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806043 titled 'BUTTON MECHANISM FOR WATERPROOF HOUSING

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an electronic device with a recessed button that emits electromagnetic radiation. The device includes sensors and a processor that respond to the emitted radiation.

* The electronic device has a housing with a recessed button that emits electromagnetic radiation.
* The button can be moved between two positions.
* There are sensors positioned within the device that detect the emitted radiation and generate signals.
* A processor is present in the device and is connected to the sensors.
* The processor responds to the signals generated by the sensors.
* The device includes a memory with electronic instructions for the processor.

==Potential Applications==
* This technology can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or remote controls.
* It can be applied in gaming consoles or virtual reality devices to provide interactive and immersive experiences.
* The technology can be utilized in medical devices for remote monitoring or controlling purposes.

==Problems Solved==
* The recessed button design allows for a more compact and streamlined device design.
* The emitted electromagnetic radiation provides a new way of interacting with the device.
* The sensors and processor enable the device to respond to the emitted radiation accurately.

==Benefits==
* The recessed button design enhances the aesthetics and ergonomics of the device.
* The emitted electromagnetic radiation adds a new dimension to user interaction.
* The sensors and processor enable precise and reliable detection of the emitted radiation.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device can include: a housing defining an exterior surface and an internal volume, the exterior surface defining a recess having a base portion and a sidewall, the housing forming a continuous component; a button body positioned within the recess; an emissive object attached to the button body, the emissive object being movable between a first position and a second position and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation; a first sensor positioned within the internal volume and configured to generate a first signal in response to detecting electromagnetic radiation in the first position; a second sensor positioned within the internal volume and configured to generate a second signal; a processor positioned within the internal volume, and in electrical communication with the first sensor and the second sensor; and a memory having electronic instructions that cause the processor to respond to the first signal and the second signal.
