FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND FLASH CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18438022 titled 'FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND FLASH CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

The abstract describes an electronic device with a foldable design and a touch input-activated flash control system based on ambient illuminance and housing state information.

  • The electronic device consists of two housings connected by a hinge, allowing them to be folded about a folding axis.
  • A touch input activates the flash through the second display, triggering the processor to identify ambient illuminance and housing state information.
  • The flash control is then adjusted based on the ambient illuminance value and whether the housings are in a folded or unfolded state.

Potential Applications: - Mobile phones - Tablets - Laptops

Problems Solved: - Efficient flash control based on ambient lighting conditions - Enhanced user experience with touch input activation

Benefits: - Improved photography in various lighting conditions - User-friendly interface with touch input control - Compact design for easy portability

Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Flash Control Electronic Devices for Enhanced Photography" This technology can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, and laptops to improve the quality of photos taken in different lighting environments. It can enhance the user experience and attract photography enthusiasts looking for convenient flash control options.

Prior Art: No prior art information provided.

Frequently Updated Research: No information on frequently updated research related to this technology.

Questions about Smart Flash Control Electronic Devices:

Question 1: How does the touch input activation system work in controlling the flash? Answer: The touch input triggers the processor to identify ambient illuminance and housing state information, which then adjusts the flash control accordingly.

Question 2: What are the potential benefits of this technology for photography enthusiasts? Answer: This technology offers improved photo quality in various lighting conditions, user-friendly touch input control, and a compact design for easy portability.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes: a first housing comprising a first surface and a second surface, and a second housing comprising a third surface and a fourth surface; a hinge connecting the first housing and the second housing to be foldable about a folding axis, the first surface facing the third surface in a folded state of the first housing and the second housing, the first surface and the third surface being oriented in a same direction in an unfolded state of the first housing and the second housing. Based on a touch input to activate the flash being received through the second display, a processor identifies an ambient illuminance value and state information relating to whether the first housing and the second housing are in the folded state or the unfolded state; and control the flash, based on the state information and the ambient illuminance value.
