Patent number: 10771599Abstract: A method and an electronic device for processing information are provided. The method is applied in a first electronic device. There is a first correspondence relation between the first electronic device and N second electronic devices, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The method has the steps of detecting to acquire a first operation for the first electronic device, judging whether the first operation meets a first preset condition, and generating by the first electronic device a first prompt effect for the first operation and controlling each of the N second electronic devices to generate the first prompt effect when the first operation meets the first preset condition. The correspondence relation among multiple electronic devices can be determined more conveniently. A prompting method and a related electronic device are also provided to accurately prompt the data transmission process.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignees: LENOVO (BEIJING) LIMITED, BEIJING LENOVO SOFTWARE LTD.Inventors: Fenglang Li, Xiangying Zhang, Run Yang, Ning Wang

Patent number: 9594400Abstract: An electronic device includes a main body and an input body. The main body has a display unit and a first contact portion rotatably connected to the display unit. The first contact portion has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and at least one part of the first contact portion has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the display unit. The input body includes a second contact portion with a contact surface. When the input body is detachably connected to the main body, the display unit is operable to rotate with respect to the input body, and the contact surface of the second contact portion is operable to engage with the first or second surfaces of the first contact portion by surface-to-surface contacting.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: LENOVO (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventors: Fenglang Li, Peng Bai
