Abstract:
A keypad includes a circuit board, a key, and a rotating member. The circuit board includes at least one first keypad switch and at least one second keypad switch. The key includes a first protruding post configured for actuating the at least one first keypad switch, and a second protruding post for actuating the at least one second keypad switch. The rotating member is rotatably connected to the circuit board and able to retain in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the rotating member prevents the first protruding post from actuating the at least one first keypad switch and allows the second protruding post to actuate the at least one second keypad switch. In the second position, the rotating member allows the first protruding post to actuate the at least one keypad switch.
Abstract:
A contact pressure and position detecting device includes a first sensing layer, a second sensing layer located on the first sensing layer, and a processor. The first sensing layer includes a number of parallel first pipes, and the second sensing layer includes a number of parallel second pipes perpendicular to the first pipes. Each first pipe includes a first pressure sensor received therein for generating a first electrical signal according to the gas pressure therein. Each second pipe includes a second pressure sensor received therein for generating a second electrical signal according to the gas pressure therein. The processor compares the first electrical signals with a first threshold value, and the second electrical signals with a second threshold value to judge which first pipe and second pipe is pressed, and then obtains the contact position on the detecting device.
Abstract:
An input device includes a cover and a base. The cover includes a button and a protrusion. The protrusion protrudes from the button. The base includes a processing unit and a button controlling module. The button controlling module includes a first magnetic member, a second magnetic member, and a movement sensing unit. The adjacent ends of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member have the same polarity. The protrusion of the button contacts the first magnetic member. The movement sensing unit is for sensing the movement of the second magnetic member and for transmitting the sensed movement data of the second magnetic member to the processing unit. The processing unit determines the depressed button according to the sensed movement data of the second magnetic member.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a cover, a body, and a sliding mechanism connecting the cover to the body. The sliding mechanism includes a slidable plate and at least one telescoping member. The cover is rotatably coupled to ends of the at least one telescoping member. Other ends of the at least one telescoping member are slidably coupled to the slidable plate. The slidable plate is slidably received in the body, and at least a part of the slidable plate is capable of sliding out of the body.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device includes a main body, a communication unit, an earpiece, a mouthpiece, a comparison unit and a first driver. The communication unit generates a starting signal when the communication device and another communication device establish a connection. The earpiece rotates with respect to the main body. The mouthpiece receives ambient sound and determines an ambient noise level according to the collected ambient sound in response to the starting signal. The comparison unit determines whether the ambient noise level is equal to a predetermined value, and generates a first driving signal when the ambient noise level is not equal to the predetermined value. The first driver drives the earpiece to rotate toward an ear of a user of the mobile communication device in response to the first driving signal.
Abstract:
An optical disc drive for an electronic device is provided. The optical disc drive includes a rotating member, a spindle, a reading member and a controlling module. The rotating member includes a connecting member, and a first end fixed to a housing of the electronic device. The spindle is connected to a second end of the connecting member for rotating an optical disc arranged on the spindle. The reading member is fixed to the connecting member to read the optical disc. When a switch of the electronic device is actuated, a processing unit of the electronic device outputs a signal to the controlling module. The controlling module controls the rotating member to rotate. The connecting member moves the spindle and the reading member out of the housing, further controls the spindle to rotate the optical disc, and the reading member to read the optical disc.
