According to one or more embodiments, a variation is detected in light that is cast over a display interface of a computing device. A characteristic of the light variation is identified. From this characteristic, a determination is made as to whether the variation in light is to be interpreted as an input or to be ignored.
摘要:
A portable computing device has an upper housing segment and a lower housing segment pivotably connected to each other to move between a closed position and an extended or open position. A first inward edge formation is formed along the exterior edge of the upper housing segment. A second inward edge formation is formed along the exterior edge of the lower housing segment. When the portable computing device is in a closed position, the space between the first and second inward edge formations defines a groove formation around the periphery of the portable computing device. The groove formation is dimensioned to receive a user's finger for carrying or opening the portable computing device.
摘要:
A keyboard for an electronic device that incorporates a flexible carrier for the keys. The flexible carrier has cutouts or slots that aid in decoupling the actions of one from its neighbors. Moreover, in addition to or instead of cutouts or slots, the flexible carrier optionally has cutouts around its outer perimeter. In some embodiments, the keys are molded as part of the flexible carrier. In other embodiments, the keys are attached to or inserted in the flexible carrier during manufacture. Various embodiments of the invention employ various key shapes to aid the user's tactile experience while typing.
