Abstract:
A computing device includes a housing, a hinge, a flexible touchscreen, and logic. The housing has a first part and a second part, and the hinge permits the first part to fold relative to the second part. The flexible touchscreen extends from the first part to the second part of the housing over the hinge. The logic operates the touchscreen in a bent mode in which the touchscreen has a first flat zone corresponding to the first part of the housing, a second flat zone corresponding to the second part of the housing, and a third curved zone corresponding to the hinge. In the bent mode, the logic operates a user interface on the touchscreen differently within the first, second, and third zones of the touchscreen.
Abstract:
A first housing with a polar magnet on a first side. The first housing can include an opening on the first side. A second housing can include a sliding latch, An opposite polar magnet attached to the sliding latch. The polar magnet attracts the opposite polar magnet on the sliding latch to move the sliding latch to a latched position.
Abstract:
Bending members having slanted faces to engage folded edge portions of a housing panel, wherein the relative sliding movement between the folded edge portions and the bending members cause bending of each of the folded edge portions to an inwardly slanted angle.
