ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18609013 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a unique configuration, including a housing, two displays, a battery, a short-distance wireless communication antenna, and a shield.
- The electronic device has a housing with two surfaces, a first display, a battery, a smaller second display, a short-distance wireless communication antenna, and a shield.
- The first display is viewable through the first surface of the housing.
- The battery is positioned between the first display and the second surface of the housing.
- The second display, smaller than the first display, is viewable through a partial area of the second surface.
- A short-distance wireless communication antenna is located at the lower end of the second display, transmitting/receiving signals through the partial area.
- A shield at the lower end of the antenna blocks transmission/reception of signals through the first surface.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, or other portable electronic devices. - It may enhance user experience by providing additional display information without compromising the design.
Problems Solved: - The device addresses the challenge of integrating multiple displays and antennas in a compact housing. - It solves the issue of signal interference between the displays and antennas.
Benefits: - Improved functionality with dual displays. - Enhanced wireless communication capabilities. - Optimal use of space within the device.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable for consumer electronics companies looking to differentiate their products with innovative features. - It may appeal to tech-savvy consumers who value cutting-edge design and functionality in their devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the shield prevent signal interference between the displays and antennas? 2. What are the potential limitations of using a smaller second display in this configuration?
Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments relate to an electronic device. The electronic device may include: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction; a first display viewable through the first surface; a battery disposed between the first display and the second surface; a second display having a size smaller than a size of the first display and viewable through a partial area of the second surface; a short-distance wireless communication antenna disposed at a lower end of the second display and configured to transmit/receive a short-distance wireless communication signal through the partial area of the second surface and the second display; and a shield disposed at a lower end of the short-distance wireless communication antenna and configured to block transmission/reception of the short-distance wireless communication signal through the first surface.
