    Abstract: An automatic hold switch is disclosed. The automatic hold switch provides a means for automatically switching a hold feature on and off. When the hold feature is on, one or more input devices of a portable electronic device are disabled or prevented from providing input signals. When the hold feature is off, one or more input devices of a portable electronic device are enabled or allowed to provide input signals. Because the user no longer has to manually control the hold feature, the number of actions that need to be taken by the user is reduced. In one example, the automatic hold switch is embodied with light sensors that detect when the device is in a dark environment and when the device is in a light environment. A dark environment indicates to the portable electronic device that the user wishes not to input and therefore the hold feature is turned on. A lighted environment indicates to the portable electronic device that the user wishes to input and therefore the hold feature is turned off.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种自动保持开关。 自动保持开关提供自动切换保持功能的手段。 当保持功能打开时,便携式电子设备的一个或多个输入设备被禁用或防止提供输入信号。 当保持功能关闭时,便携式电子设备的一个或多个输入设备被启用或允许提供输入信号。 因为用户不再需要手动控制保持功能,所以减少了用户需要采取的动作数量。 在一个示例中,自动保持开关实施有光传感器,其检测设备何时处于黑暗环境中以及当设备处于光环境中时。 黑暗的环境向便携式电子设备指示用户希望不输入,因此保持功能被打开。 点亮的环境向便携式电子设备指示用户希望输入,因此保持功能被关闭。

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for provide physical buttons for use on a touch surface are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus includes a display arrangement and a first button attachment structure. The display arrangement includes a first surface which has a first touch-sensitive area. The first touch-sensitive area is capable of sensing touch. The first button attachment structure includes a first attachment area and a first button actuation area. The first attachment area is mounted on the first surface such that the first button actuation is aligned at least partially over the first touch-sensitive area. The first button actuation area is arranged to deform when a force is applied to the first button actuation area to engage the first touch-sensitive area.

    Abstract: A display assembly includes at least a protective cover layer, a display stack that includes a plurality of display components arranged in a plurality of interconnected layers, the display stack providing an imaging service, and a flat support chassis arranged to provide support for the display stack. In the described embodiment, the display stack is positioned between the protective cover layer and the flat support chassis. The display assembly can be disposed within a housing with sides sloping inwards where a portion the display assembly is proximate to the inward sloping sides. To allow the display assembly to fit closer to the edges of the housing, material can be removed from the flat support chassis. For example, edges of the flat support chassis can be chamfered.

    Abstract: Thermal sensors are disposed with OLEDs across a display of an electronic device to measure temperatures across the display surface. Thermal sensors may be used to create a temperature map across the display surface due to both the ambient environment and the internal environment of the electronic device. The thermal sensors may be disposed in the OLED layer, on a separate layer, or both. Thermal sensors may be disposed in a substantially 1:1 ratio with OLEDs or with zones of OLEDs. Both the temperature history and usage history for OLEDs may be recorded and processed to determine the age of each OLED. Controllers may adjust the driving strength of OLEDs or adjust the operation of components within the electronic device to compensate for aging or temperature based on the temperature map and age determination. Controllers may move static images from one part of the display to another less-aged part.
