摘要:
An electronic device (100) includes an attached door cover (150) having a speaker (160) with an integral speaker magnet (165) that is used as an actuator for a magnetically enable switch (130) positioned within the housing (115) of the electronic device (100). The door cover (150) is movable between a first position adjacent to the housing (115), and a second position having at least a portion of the door cover (150) away from the housing (115) and the switch (130) is actuated magnetically by the speaker magnet (165) when the door cover (150) is in the first position. Preferably, the speaker magnet (165) helps to latch the door cover (150) closed. Additionally, the door cover (150) is preferably detachable from the housing (115) of the electronic device (100) and is user replaceable.
摘要:
Metallized contacts (102, 104) electrically interconnect two substrates (202, 204). Each metallized contact (102, 104) includes a stationary base member (106, 130) and a compressible member (112, 128) extending from the stationary base member. At least one retaining wall (118, 124) is used to retain each of the compressible members (112, 128) to prevent shorting between each of the metallized contacts (102, 104).
摘要:
A display module (100) includes a light pipe (140), a liquid crystal display (LCD) module (130), a lens cover (110), and a gasket (120), which are mated together to form a sealed assembly. The LCD module (130) and gasket (120) are captured between the lens cover(110) and light pipe (140), such that the gasket (120) provides a seal between the lens cover (110) and the LCD module (130). Preferably, the gasket (120) has at least one integrally formed button (122) that protrudes through a buttonhole (112) on the lens cover (110) to provide for external actuation of a switch (152) within the display module assembly (100).

A vibrator assembly (100) for a radio (200) having a transducer (110) includes a front housing (102) having first and second recessed cavities (104, 106) within which a vibrator (108) and transducer (110) are seated. A unitary molded pad (122) is configured to cover the vibrator (108) and a portion of the transducer (110). When a bezel (128) is attached to the front housing (102) of the radio, the unitary molded pad (122) is compressed against the vibrator (108) to provide increased rigidity of the vibrator within the first recessed cavity (104). The unitary molded pad (122) transfers vibrations emanating from vibrator (108) to the radio surface while providing a seal about the transducer (110).
摘要:
The PTT assembly (100) self locates and then locks a back support plate (106) and switches (146, 148) directly to an inner surface (134) of a housing wall (132). On the outer surface (136) of the housing wall (132), keypad plungers (116) self locate through holes (140) in the housing wall. The perimeter of the keypad itself is retained by a bezel (110) that snaps into the housing (132). A hook (130) extends from the bezel (110) to lock and fix the travel distance of the plungers (116) to the switches (146, 148). With the back support plate (106) firmly in place, the keypad actuation force remains consistent since the travel distance of the plungers (116) to the switches (146, 148) is fixed by the hook (130) length. Additionally, the back support plate (106) supports the switches without bowing under the applied plunger force further ensuring a consistent actuation force.
摘要:
A battery (100) includes charging contacts (102) having a number of exposed planes (104, 106, and 108) for versatility charging battery cells (112) via a number of charging configurations (402 and 502). Three different charging embodiments; a radio charging structure (302), a vertical charging apparatus (502) and a horizontal charger (402) are presented. These chargers may be conveniently designed without limiting their versatility as is commonly imposed by contact limitations experienced with battery packages of the prior art.
摘要:
An electronic device (100) has a housing (110), and a shielded keypad interface (150) for actuating a switch (285, 290) accessible through an opening (115) within the housing (110). The keypad interface (150) has a key surface (265) that is aligned with the opening (115) and with the switch (285, 290). A conductive layer (250) between the key surface (265) and the switch (285, 290) covers the opening (115). The conductive layer (250) is electrically isolated from the switch (285, 290), and coupled to electrical ground (255) to provide an electrical shield for the keypad interface (150).
摘要:
A method and apparatus controlling a media player in a portable communication device is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of controls dedicated to controlling the media player. Each of the controls is configured in a manner that requires a unique user action for providing an input. In other words, the user action required for operating a control is different from a user action required for operating each of the other controls. The method further includes receiving a user input at each of the controls and controlling the media player based on the received user inputs. Each of the controls is operable to perform a specific function for managing media.
摘要:
A display (200) that includes a first screen layer (205) having a first dimension (230) and a second screen layer (210) having a first side (211) bonded to a first side (206) of the first screen layer. The second screen layer can have a second dimension (225) that is greater than the first dimension, thereby defining a portion (235) of the second layer that extends beyond the first layer. The display also can include at least one integrated circuit chip (245) attached to the portion of the second layer. The integrated circuit chip can include, for example, a display driver. A stiffening component (250) can be positioned, at least in part, over the integrated circuit chip. The stiffening component also can be positioned over at least a substantial part of the defined portion of the second layer.
摘要:
The invention concerns a flash shutter mechanism (105) and a method (200) of operating same. The mechanism can include a flash (114) that may illuminate when an image is captured and a lens (116) that can cover the flash, including when the flash is illuminated. The lens can have a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state. In particular, the lens can be in the substantially transparent state when a camera mode is activated and can be in the substantially opaque state when the camera mode is deactivated. In one arrangement, the shutter mechanism can be positioned in a camera phone (100), and when the lens is in the substantially opaque state, the lens can have a color that may substantially match a portion of a housing (118) of the camera phone. The lens may also cover an image capture device (112).
