Abstract:
An apparatus may include a device and an image projection system configured to form an image on a surface viewable by a user. The image projection circuit may be configured to receive signals from the device, generate a pattern representative of data, process the pattern into a mirror image of the image, and project the mirror image from the device. The image projection system may include an electro optic system for generating the pattern, and an optics system for projecting the mirror image onto the surface. A method for projecting data may include providing the device with the image, and providing the image to the surface with the image projection system. The method may also include manipulating the device and/or a body part to locate and focus the image, sensing an orientation of the device, and orienting the image based, at least in part, on the sensing step.
Abstract:
Apparatus are provided that include a grip material and instructions accompanying the grip material. The instructions include at least one of text and a diagram communicating to a purchaser a target electronic device with which the grip material is to be used. The grip material is configured to be attached to a side of the electronic device and occupying a footprint of the side between 5 percent and 100 percent of the surface area of the side of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device includes a housing, a resisting member and a keypad. The housing has a receiving recess running through two sides of the housing. The resisting member is formed on the bottom of the receiving recess. The keypad has a plurality of receiving cavities formed at the bottom surface. The keypad is hold by engagement of a receiving cavity with the resisting member and can slid by pushing of the keypad until another receiving cavity receives the resisting member.
Abstract:
A portable radio communication device includes a radio section using a frequency for at least one of signal reception and signal transmission. The frequency used by the radio section is set to a frequency assigned to a memory channel. A mute circuit mutes an audio output circuit when a mute-cancel or monitor switch is not operated, and unmutes the audio output circuit when the switch is operated. A display is controlled to indicate a name assigned to the memory channel when the switch is not operated, and to indicate the frequency assigned to the memory channel when the switch is operated.
Abstract:
A palmtop electronic product includes a casing having opposite first and second sides. A screen is mounted to the first side of the casing. A first input unit is mounted to the second side of the casing. A control unit is mounted in the casing and electrically connected to the screen and the first input unit. The first input unit can be pressed or touched by a user, and the control unit generates an input signal when the first input unit is pressed or touched by the user. The input signal is processed by the control unit, and the processing result of the input signal being displayed on the screen.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a faceplate having a faceplate surface and a display at or near the faceplate surface for providing content to a user. The electronic devices can also include an input device proximate to the display for accepting input from the user. The electronic devices can further include a sensible orientation structure carried by the faceplate and at a fixed relative position relative to the input device. The sensible orientation structure is configured to provide the user with positional feedback relative to the input device via touching.

Abstract:
An electrical device in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes a display in which the reflectivity of the display is alterable to allow the display to display information to the user and to serve as a mirror for the user.
Abstract:
A device with a front face such as an operating face, including elements of the user interface of the device is provided. A major part of the front face is concave so that the front face is retracted and thereby protected from being scratched.
