  • Patent number: 8884829
    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a first light sensor adjacent to the first antenna, a second light sensor adjacent to the second antenna, a controller, and a magnetic member movably located between the first antenna and the second antenna. When one of the first and second antennas in a state of receiving/transmitting wireless signals is covered by a user's hand, the nearby light sensor sends a pulse signal to the controller. The controller receiving the pulse signal controls the first and second antennas to change their magnetic polarity, enabling the magnetic member to be separated from one of the first and second antennas and attached to the another one, thereby choosing one of the first and second antennas, or a combination of one of the two antennas and the magnetic member to receive/transmit the wireless signals.

  • Publication number: 20140327592
    Abstract: An antenna structure includes an antenna and a metal member located between the antenna and an electronic member. The antenna is configured for receiving and sending wireless signals. An electrical length of the metal member is greater than or equal to a quarter wavelength of a resonance frequency band of the antenna. The metal member transmits wireless signals generated by the electronic member to ground to prevent signals generated by the electronic member from interfering with the antenna.
