摘要:
The invention concerns a method (600) and systems (200, 400, 500) for shielding at least one electrical component (104) by using a flexible shielding circuit (102). In one arrangement, the method can include the steps of mounting (604) the electrical component on a first portion (202) of the flexible shielding circuit and covering (606) at least one exposed surface of the electrical component with a second portion (204) of the flexible shielding circuit. Additionally, the method can also include the step of selectively securing (608) the second portion to the first portion with a conductive adhesive (206).

A wireless device lighting system provides backlighting of a display (104) and/or a user interface (1526) of a wireless device (100). A user interface (1526) includes a plurality of buttons (112) for entering information and at least one multicolor LED for emitting light. The at least one multicolor LED is located behind the plurality of buttons (112). The user interface (1526) further includes a connector for connecting the user interface (1526) to the wireless device (100) and a circuit board for mounting the at least one multicolor LED and the connector. The user interface (1526) further includes a light pipe for allowing light emitted from the at least one multicolor LED to be emitted from the buttons (112), the light pipe located between the at least one multicolor LED and the buttons (112). The user interface (1526) further includes a selector for allowing a user to define a color of light for emission by the at least one multicolor LED.

An electronic device (100) can include a base portion (105) and a flip portion (110) moveably attached to the base portion (105) through a single hinge twist mechanism (200) such that the flip portion (110) is capable of rotating about a first axis (115) to a first open position and twisting about a second axis (120) to a second open position. The second axis (120) can be substantially perpendicular to the first axis (115).

A wireless device (300) receives and captures multiple-channel audio signals and outputs the multiple-channel audio signals on at least one channel output stream (606). The wireless device (300) includes a microphone (401) for capturing a first audio channel and at least one speaker (402) for capturing additional audio channels. Each speaker has a switch (403) to enable the speaker to operate as an additional microphone for capturing at least one additional audio channel. The device also has a comparator (404), connected to a plurality of audio channels including the first audio channel and any additional audio channels, so that the comparator identifies which of the audio channels has a predetermined signal strength so as to identify one of the audio channels as a reference audio channel (406, 405). Additionally, in one embodiment, the comparator identifies which of the audio channels has a predetermined phase and identifies one of the audio channels as a reference phase channel (406, 405). The device also has an encoder (407) for receiving the plurality of audio channels to produce an output over at least one channel where the reference audio channel forms a reference signal and the audio channels other than the reference signal each form a delta signal from the reference channel.

An electronic product (10) includes a front housing (12) coupled to a first frame (32) having a first frame guide rail (34), a rear housing (14) coupled to a second frame (42) having a second frame guide rail (54), a pivot arm (50) coupled between a fixed axis (33) on the first frame and a first translating axis (45) on the second frame, and a second translating axis (46) that translates along the first frame guide rail as the first translating axis translates along the second frame guide rail. The fixed axis and second translating axis are in substantially the same horizontal plane when the electronic product is in a closed position. The fixed axis and first translating axis are in substantially the same horizontal plane when the electronic product is in a closed position and in substantially the same vertical plane when the electronic product is an open position.
摘要:
A system (10 or 80) for orienting a display image and mapping key functions includes a sensor portion (86) for sensing at least one characteristic of an object and a processor (84). The processor can be programmed to determine an orientation and orient a display image including a soft key function (81, 83, 85, 87, 95, 96, 97 or 98) relative to the determined orientation of the object. The processor can alter the function of the soft key function by remapping at least one soft key function based on the determined orientation of the object. Optionally, the processor alters the function of the soft key function by remapping a set of switches lying underneath a display (25 or 82). The processor can be further programmed to enable user selective reorienting (114) of the display image by (for example) enabling the selection of a key in a non-active zone.

A communication device (100) comprising a body portion (110) and a display portion (130) that is rotatably connected to the body portion. A switch (160,161, 162, 163,164) is operable to reverse the modes of the inner (141) and outer (142) bistable clear-reflective layers in response to rotation of the display portion (130) with respect to the body portion (110).

A multiband comformed-slotted-folded dipole antenna (200) having a unitary conformed shape conductor conforming to an internal communication device configuration (400). The antenna can include a folded dipole (203, 205, 209, 206, 204) forming a part of the unitary conformed shape and having a first portion (212 or 213) forming at least one slot in a slotted plane (220) and a second portion (210 or 211) forming at least one slot in a second plane (230) substantially perpendicular to the slotted plane. The at least one slot in the second plane controls high band antenna resonance and a length (209) of a metal portion in the slotted plane controls lower band resonance. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A near field communication loop antenna (308) is mechanically coupled to the cover (300) of a cellular telephone. The antenna (308) is coupled on the inside of the cover (300) between a keypad (302) and the cover (300), whereby the antenna (308) surrounds the keys (314) and is sandwiched between the keypad assembly (302) and the cover (300). A near field communication antenna (406) is coupled to the outside surface of the cover (300) surrounding a display and sandwiched between a lens (400) and the phone cover (300). A near field communication antenna embedded in the phone cover material, whereby the antenna surrounds either the keys or the display, is disclosed as well.
