  • Publication number: 20200064884
    Abstract: Provided is a notebook computer with a functional body, including a host, a functional body and a display body. The host has a keyboard portion and a receiving portion, and a height difference is formed between the keyboard portion and the receiving portion. The functional body has a first end and a second end. The first end is in pivot connection to the keyboard portion of the host. The display body has a display portion and a base. The second end of the functional body is in pivot connection to the display body. The display body is adapted to be rotated relative to the host and the functional body, so that the base is in contact with the receiving portion to switch to a folded state or a first unfolded state. The functional body is adapted to be rotated relative to the host, so that the base of the display body is relatively away from the receiving portion to switch to a second unfolded state.

  • Publication number: 20200064944
    Abstract: A cursor control method and an electronic apparatus are provided. A touch operation is received through a touch panel, and a designated region on the touch panel is set based on an initial position of the touch operation. During the execution of the touch operation, a current position of the touch operation on the touch panel is detected, and whether the current position is within the designated region is determined. If the current position is within the designated region, a cursor is moved at a first speed. If the current position is not within the designated region, a cursor is moved at a second speed.

  • Publication number: 20190327544
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a speaker module. The first body includes a first housing and a second housing disposed on the first housing. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body. The speaker module is movably disposed in the first body. The first body has a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface are respectively located at two opposite sides of the speaker module. When the speaker module is abutted against the first surface, the speaker module resonates with the first housing to emit a first sound. When the speaker module is abutted against the second surface, the speaker module resonates with the second housing to emit a second sound.

  • Publication number: 20190212809
    Abstract: The invention provides an electronic device, a hinge assembly, and an AR interaction process for an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge assembly, and a rotatable lens. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge, a second hinge, a third hinge, and an L-shaped hinge. The L-shaped hinge has a first segment and a second segment. The first segment is pivotally connected to the first body through the first hinge, the second segment is pivotally connected to the second body through the second hinge, and the first hinge, the second hinge, and the third hinge are parallel to each other and are not coaxial with each other. In addition, the rotatable lens is assembled to the second segment.

  • Patent number: 10129991
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device and a linking assembly are provided. The foldable electronic device includes a host and a foldable display attached to the host. The host has a first portion, a second portion and a linking assembly connected therebetween. The linking assembly includes N+1 blocks (wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2) and a plurality of linking sets. Each block has a body and a pair of fitting portions disposed at two opposite sides of the body in a sliding mirror symmetry manner along a first direction, and the fitting portion of the Nth block is fitted with the fitting portion of the N+1 block. Each linking set has two links, and two ends of the two links overlapping each other lean against the Nth block and can move relative to the Nth block. Other two ends of the two links without overlapping each other are respectively fixed to the N?1th and N+1th blocks. When the link assembly is bent, a virtual center of any two adjacent blocks locates within a scope of the foldable display.

  • Patent number: 9671830
    Abstract: An electronic device including a main body and a stand module is provided. The stand module includes a supporting component and a sliding component. The supporting component is pivoted to the main body. The sliding component is slidably disposed to the main body and has an end. The sliding component is adapted to slide to a first position such that the end protrudes out of the main body. The end is adapted to receive an external force to move inside the main body, such that the sliding component slides to a second position and drives the supporting component to expand from the main body.
