摘要： An electronic device includes a bezel feature, a connector and a processor. The bezel feature is rotatable amongst a plurality of positions on an arc length that defines a path of motion for the bezel feature. The plurality of positions are distributed along the entire arc length of the path of motion. An interface or connector couples the bezel feature to the processor of the electronic device.

摘要： The present invention system and method facilitates efficient and relatively even distribution of illumination throughout a display screen. The system and method also facilitates clearer presentation of images, size reductions and conservation of limited power resources in handheld computers. In one embodiment of the present invention, a display illumination distribution system includes a light pipe, a lens, a wave-guide array and a light source. The light sources provides light waves that are directed along the wave guide array to the lens which directs the light waves into the light pipe. The light pipe conveys the light to the display and provides illumination. The routing of light through the wave-guide array confines the light waves to a wave guide and reduces the number of light waves that miss the light pipe.

摘要： A portable computer system (e.g., a palmtop or hand-held computer system) is implemented with an interface module containing circuitry needed to connect with and operate a device such as a display device. The interface module is coupled to the display device. Additionally, the interface module may be coupled to a printed circuit (PC) board of the portable computer system. As such, PC board can thus be designed and manufactured independently of the display device. Furthermore, design variations in the display device can be independently accommodated in the interface module. Thus, the combination of the interface module, the device, and/or the PC board can be universally implemented in different designs of portable computer systems, reducing development time and manufacturing costs.

摘要： A user interface for a portable electronic device comprising a flexible display panel and a flexible touch sensor. The flexible touch sensor is operable to register a position where contact is made with a surface of the flexible display panel, such that the position of contact registered is translated into a particular command for controlling the portable electronic device. In the present embodiment, the flexible touch sensor is disposed beneath the flexible display panel. As such, the quality of the display is not diminished. In addition, the combination of the flexible display panel and the flexible touch sensor reduces the thickness of the portable computer system.

摘要： A portable computer system contained within a housing that comprises an electronic muscle material for performing a plurality of functions. The electronic muscle can sense when the portable computer is being handled. When handled, the electronic muscle material can cause the portable computer system to enter a power-on mode and, conversely, when no longer being handled it can cause the portable computer system to exit the power-on mode. When handled, the electronic muscle material can further detect the left- or right-handedness of the user and, based on the handedness, can generate function buttons or other alterations to accommodate the user's hand preference and finger placement. The placement of the user's hand in a location on the electronic muscle material which indicates preparation to write can activate a selectable graffiti display area on the touch screen.
