ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING POSTURE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RELATIVE MOVEMENT OF PARTS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17680207 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING POSTURE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RELATIVE MOVEMENT OF PARTS THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with an extendable support and a display that can be compact or expanded based on the movement of the support. The device also includes a motor to generate the movement, a sensor to detect the device's posture, and a processor to adjust the motor's output force based on the detected posture.
- The device has an extendable support with two structures that allow for relative movement.
- The display can be in a compact or expanded position depending on the movement of the support.
- A motor is used to generate the movement of the support structures.
- A sensor is included to detect the posture or position of the device.
- The processor adjusts the motor's output force based on the detected posture, allowing for optimized movement.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices with adjustable displays for enhanced user experience.
- Laptops or tablets with adjustable screens for improved ergonomics.
- Gaming devices with adaptable displays for immersive gameplay.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited screen size or viewing angles can be addressed by the adjustable display.
- Ergonomic issues caused by fixed screen positions can be mitigated.
- Enhanced user experience and comfort through optimized display positioning.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved versatility and adaptability of electronic devices.
- Enhanced user comfort and ergonomics.
- Optimized display positioning based on the device's posture.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes an extendable support including a first structure and a second structure to receive at least a portion of the first structure and guide relative movement of the first structure with respect to the second structure, a display having compact and expanded positions based on the relative movement of the first structure, a motor to generate an output force to cause the relative movement of the first and second structures, a sensor to detect a posture in which the electronic device is positioned, and a processor to change the output force of the motor based on the posture of the electronic device detected by the sensor.
