ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380097 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA DEVICE

The abstract describes an electronic device with a unique housing structure and hinge mechanism, as well as printed circuit boards. The housing structures can rotate around a folding axis provided by the hinge structure.

• The electronic device includes a first housing structure with a first side surface member, a second housing structure with a second side surface member, and a hinge structure for rotation.
• The housing structures can rotate around a folding axis provided by the hinge structure.
• At least one printed circuit board is included in the device.
• The side surface members have slits and portions made of a radiation conductor, electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets. - It may also have applications in wearable technology or flexible displays.

Problems Solved: - Provides a unique design for foldable electronic devices. - Allows for compact and versatile electronic devices with a folding mechanism.

Benefits: - Enhanced portability and convenience for users. - Potential for innovative and futuristic electronic devices.

Commercial Applications: Foldable smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology could benefit from this technology. The market for foldable devices is growing, and this innovation could help companies stay competitive.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the radiation conductor in the side surface members contribute to the functionality of the electronic device? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this folding mechanism in electronic devices?
