摘要:
A portable radio telephone is adapted to provide handsfree operation and adapted to be held against a user's ear to provide private operation. A housing of the portable radio telephone has an ear placement region on a front surface thereof. A speaker is disposed in the housing behind the ear placement region. The ear placement region is adapted to be held against a user's ear to provide private operation creating a first air volume between the user's ear and the ear placement region. In a preferred embodiment, an air path between the first air volume to a second air volume at the back surface of the housing includes at least a first port positioned within the ear placement region, an air cavity within the housing, and at least a second port positioned at a back surface of the housing.

An apparatus and method utilizing a mobile communication device including a housing, an earpiece coupled to the housing, a keypad coupled to the housing, and an array sensor coupled to the housing. The array sensor is distributed across a significant portion of a face of the housing to allow the detection of various conductive profiles in close proximity to the housing. A portion of the array sensor may be positioned underneath the keypad. The mobile communication device can sense a change in a field across the array sensor and adjust a parameter of operation of the mobile communication device based on the change in the field across the array sensor in response to a conductive profile.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for an electronic device (100) to incorporate two housing members (104, 106) to expose a first portion (112) of a display or screen (110) when closed. When the two members (104, 106) are moved to open the housing (102) the display or screen (110) is moved to a position angularly displaced from its former position with respect to the housing (102). A second portion (114) of the screen (110), larger than the first portion (112), is exposed and used for displaying text, images or other graphics.

A telecommunication device (10) includes a housing (14, 16) and a dual earpiece arrangement (26) associated with the housing. The dual earpiece arrangement (26) includes a handsfree transducer (28) that generates dispatch-level audio output in a handsfree operating mode of the telecommunication device, and a private-mode transducer (38) that generates private-level audio output in a private operating mode of the telecommunication device. In particular, the device (10) includes a cantilevered bender (30) having a first end and a second end wherein the first end of the bender is mounted to the housing (16), a diaphragm (32) having a first end and a second end wherein the first end of the diaphragm (32) is attached to the second end of the bender (30), and a surround (34) joining the second end of the diaphragm (32) to the housing (16). The bender (30) drives the diaphragm (32) in a reciprocating manner to generate dispatch level audio output. The private-mode transducer (38) is positioned within a cavity of the diaphragm (32) for generating private-level audio output. At least one of the handsfree transducer (28) and the private-mode transducer (38) is formed with multiple layers, at least some of which include a piezo-electric ceramic material.
