  • Patent number: 11970894
    Abstract: A double-axis hinge structure including a fixing member, a first shaft, a first guiding portion, a second shaft, a second guiding portion, and a slide guiding member is provided. The first shaft and the second shaft pass through the fixing member and the slide guiding member. The first guiding portion and the second guiding portion are respectively integrally formed on the first shaft and the second shaft. The slide guiding member has a third guiding portion and a fourth guiding portion. When one or both of the first shaft and the second shaft rotates relative to the fixing member, the guidance between the first guiding portion and the third guiding portion and/or the second guiding portion and the fourth guiding portion drives the slide guiding member to slide, so that the first shaft and the second shaft synchronously rotate in opposite directions by the same amount of rotation.

  • Patent number: 11921523
    Abstract: A control device for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a control method therefor are provided. The control device includes a sensing device, an image receiver, a control transmitter, a display, and a processor. The sensing device is used to sense an action of the user. The image receiver is used to receive an image including at least a part or all of the body in the UAV from a first image capturing device of the UAV. The processor uses the display to continuously present the image. The processor obtains the action by the sensing device, converts the action into the control signal corresponding to the UAV, and transmits the control signal to the UAV through the control transmitter. The UAV is controlled by the control signal transmitted by the control device.

  • Patent number: 11874713
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body including a first part and a second part hinged to each other, a second body, and a hinge structure hinged between an edge of the second body and the second part. The first part has a recess. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the hinge structure pushes against the first part to rotate the first part relative to the second part. When the second body is continuously unfolded relative to the first body from the first unfolded state to a second unfolded state, the edge of the second body pushes against the first part, so that the first part continues to rotate relative to the second part. When the second body is in the folded state, the hinge structure is at least partially accommodated in the recess.
