Abstract: An electronic device structure having a shielding structure includes a substrate with an electronic component electrically connected to the substrate. The shielding structure includes conductive spaced-apart pillar structures that have proximate ends connected to the substrate and distal ends spaced apart from the substrate, and that are laterally spaced apart from the first electronic component. In one embodiment, the conductive pillar structures are conductive wires attached at one end to the substrate with an opposing end extending away from the substrate so that the conductive wires are provided generally perpendicular to the substrate. A package body encapsulates the electronic component and the conductive spaced-apart pillar structures. In one embodiment, the shielding structure further includes a shielding layer disposed adjacent to the package body, which is electrically connected to the conductive spaced-apart pillar structures.

Abstract: A portable information terminal is provided. The terminal includes a touch screen panel having an activation area and an activating unit. The activation unit activates the portable information terminal when the terminal is turned off and an activating position on the activation area is pressed for a predetermined time. The activating unit contains a press position sensor, a press timer, and a controller. The press position sensor senses if a panel position on touch screen panel is pressed and determines a location of the panel position on the touch screen panel to generate corresponding press position data. The press timer determines if the panel position is pressed for at least a predetermined time to generate corresponding press time data.
