A display module (302) of an electronic device (100) provides tactile feedback force to a user while the user provides pressing force to a soft button (104, 105) on a display screen (102) of the display module (302). The pressing force from the user is transferred by the display module (302) via at least one switch contact surface (344) to at least one tactile switch (304, 305) cooperatively located relative to the at least one switch contact surface (344). The pressing force activates the at least one tactile switch (304, 305) while the at least one tactile switch (304, 305) provides tactile feedback force to the display module (302) that then transfers the tactile feedback force to the user. Additionally, the electronic device (300) detecting a simultaneous activation of at least two of the tactile switches (304, 305) indicates the user is pressing a soft button (320).

An electronic product (100) such as a phone includes a base housing assembly (102) and a flip housing assembly (40) coupled to the base housing assembly. The flip housing assembly includes a flexible circuit (10) having an appendage (14) having a hinge contact point, a stiffener (22) adhered to the flexible circuit, a hinge pin (32) formed by insert molding a substantial portion of the appendage to form a flexible circuit assembly (30), and an insert molded housing 42 molded about a substantial portion of the flexible circuit assembly. The base housing assembly and flip housing assembly can electronically couple via the portion of the hinge contact point that remains exposed. The flip housing assembly can include among a lens (52), a transducer (62), a bezel (72), a keypad (82) or a transducer grill (92) mounted on to the flexible circuit assembly.

An antenna (100) that includes a first helical radiator (102) and a second helical radiator (116) positioned substantially co-linear with the first helical radiator. The first helical radiator can be communicatively linked to a signal source (106). The second helical radiator can be moveable between a first position wherein the second helical radiator is substantially adjacent to the first helical radiator and a second position wherein the second helical radiator is distal from the first helical radiator. The first helical radiator and the second helical radiator can cooperate to transmit and/or receive electromagnetic signals using an electrical connection and/or electromagnetic coupling. The electromagnetic coupling can primarily include capacitive coupling. The antenna also can include an impedance tuning member (538) which electromagnetically couples to the first helical radiator and/or the second helical radiator.

A clam shell style electronic product (10) includes a base housing portion (12), a flip housing portion (26) pivotably coupled to the base housing portion, a display (28) mounted in the flip housing portion, and a camera (16) in the base housing portion that can be selectively angled to a desired position relative to the display. The camera can be in a position substantially perpendicular to the base housing portion when the camera is locked in a stored position. In the stored position, a camera viewing angle (15) is substantially perpendicular or orthogonal to the base housing portion and not necessarily aligned with a display viewing angle (20) for the display. The camera can rotate to a position substantially perpendicular to a display viewing angle (30) when the flip housing portion is in an open position and the camera is in an unstored (or unlatched or released) position.

The present embodiments provide dual sided ear cup systems (620) operable with devices, such as a communication device (120). The dual sided ear cup system includes a transducer (622) that generates acoustical signals from both a front side (624) and a back side (626). The system preferably further includes a front side resonant frequency cavity (630) establishing a first resonant frequency, and a back side resonant frequency cavity (632) acoustically matched with the front side resonant frequency cavity. Some embodiments provide wireless communication devices (120) having wireless communication circuitry to receive wireless communication, a front side ear cup (240) and a back side ear cup (140) for emitting substantially the same acoustical signals corresponding to received wireless communication. The wireless device can include a display portion (122) having the ear cups, a keypad portion (124), and a swivel connection (320) between the display and keypad portions.

The invention concerns an antenna assembly (102) and a method (600) of operation thereof. In one arrangement, the antenna assembly can include a first antenna element (202) and a second antenna element (204), electrically disconnected from the first antenna element and a switching element (210) to selectively connect the first antenna element and the second antenna element. In another arrangement, the method can include the steps of sliding (604) the switching element to a first position to operate the antenna assembly in a first mode of operation and sliding (606) the switching element to a second position to operate the antenna assembly in a second mode of operation. As an example, in the first mode of operation, the antenna assembly can operate as a one-half wavelength antenna. In the second mode of operation, the antenna assembly can operate as a quarter wavelength antenna.
