ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING MAGNET ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340364 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING MAGNET ASSEMBLY
The abstract describes an electronic device with a first housing connected to a second housing that can rotate around a folding axis. The device includes a display on the front surface, a first magnet in the first housing, and a second magnet in the second housing that creates an attractive force when the device is folded.
- The electronic device has a unique magnet configuration with tilted boundary surfaces in each housing.
- The first magnet has a first boundary surface tilted at a first angle with respect to the folding axis.
- The second magnet has a second boundary surface tilted at a second angle with respect to the folding axis.
- The tilted boundary surfaces of the magnets face each other, creating an attractive force between them.
- This magnet configuration allows for secure closure and easy opening of the electronic device.
Potential Applications: - Foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. - Magnetic closure mechanisms in various consumer electronics.
Problems Solved: - Secure closure of foldable electronic devices. - Easy opening mechanism for users.
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with a secure closure. - Simplified design for foldable electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Magnetic Closure Mechanism for Foldable Electronic Devices This technology can be applied to the development of foldable smartphones, tablets, and laptops, enhancing their usability and durability in the market.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique magnet configuration improve the functionality of foldable electronic devices?
- The tilted boundary surfaces of the magnets create a secure closure and easy opening mechanism for users.
2. What are the potential market implications of this innovative magnetic closure mechanism?
- This technology can lead to the development of more user-friendly and durable foldable electronic devices, increasing their market appeal and competitiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device is provided that includes a first housing, a second housing connected to the first housing to be rotatable about a folding axis, a display disposed on a front surface of the electronic device, a first magnet arranged in the first housing, and a second magnet arranged in the second housing not to correspond to the first magnet while the electronic device is in a folded state, wherein there is an attractive force between the first magnet and the second magnet, wherein the first magnet includes a first boundary surface that partitions different poles and is tilted at a first angle with respect to the folding axis, wherein the second magnet includes a second boundary surface that partitions different poles and is tilted at a second angle with respect to the folding axis, and wherein the first boundary surface and the second boundary surface face each other.
