Electronic Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400086 titled 'Electronic Device

The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible screen, two housings, a stylus, and a transmission structure.

  • The flexible screen is connected to both housings, allowing it to fold and unfold.
  • The transmission structure, located on the first housing, controls the movement of the stylus.
  • When the screen is folded, the transmission structure moves the stylus to fit into the gap created.
  • When the screen is unfolded, the transmission structure moves the stylus away from the screen, creating a specific angle between them.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets. - It could also be applied in digital drawing tablets or other devices that require a stylus for input.

Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for accommodating a stylus in a foldable device without compromising functionality. - Ensures the stylus is stored securely when the screen is folded.

Benefits: - Enhances the user experience by offering a convenient storage solution for the stylus. - Increases the versatility of foldable devices by incorporating a stylus feature.

Commercial Applications: Foldable smartphones, tablets, digital drawing tablets, educational devices

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the transmission structure control the movement of the stylus? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating this technology into existing electronic devices?


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a flexible screen, a first housing, a second housing, a stylus, and a transmission structure. The flexible screen is connected to the first housing and the second housing, the transmission structure is arranged on the first housing, and the stylus is connected to the transmission structure; in a case that the flexible screen is driven to fold by the first housing and the second housing, the transmission structure drives the stylus to approach the flexible screen, to accommodate the stylus in a gap formed after the flexible screen is folded; and in a case that the flexible screen is driven to unfold by the first housing and the second housing, the transmission structure drives the stylus to move away from the flexible screen, to cause the stylus and the flexible screen to form a preset included angle.
