  • Patent number: 11460945
    Abstract: An electronic device including a body, a controller, a first touch layer and a second touch layer is provided. The body includes a first operating region and a second operating region. The second operating region is divided into a first touch region, a second touch region and a third touch region located between the first touch region and the second touch region. The controller, the first touch layer and the second touch layer are disposed in the body, and the first touch layer and the second touch layer are electrically coupled to the controller. In a first mode, the controller controls the first touch layer to switch from a detection status to a working status. In a second mode, the controller controls the second touch layer to switch from the detection status to the working status. A control method of an electronic device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11221654
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge assembly, and a linkage assembly. The first body has a first pivoting end. The second body includes first and second casings slidably disposed on each other. The first casing has a second pivoting end. The hinge assembly has a first axial portion, a second axial portion, and a connection portion. The first and second pivoting ends are pivotally connected to the first axial portion and the second axial portion, respectively. The connection portion does not overlap the second axial portion along an axial direction. The linkage assembly is connected between the connection portion and the second casing. When the hinge assembly rotates along the second axial portion relative to the first casing to drive the first body to be unfolded, the linkage assembly drives the second casing to slide, so that an end of the second casing protrudes.

  • Patent number: 11079808
    Abstract: A dual-axis hinge assembly including a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, torque components, a rotating shaft sleeve, a first bracket, a second bracket, and two bracket sleeves is provided. The second rotating shaft is disposed side-by-side to the first rotating shaft. The torque components are disposed at the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The rotating shaft sleeve covers the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, and the torque components. The first bracket is connected to the first rotating shaft. The second bracket is connected to the second rotating shaft. The two bracket sleeves are respectively coaxial with the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft and respectively cover the first bracket and the second bracket. The two bracket sleeves and the rotating shaft sleeve are sleeved together. The invention further provides a plurality of electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11023012
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a first supporting member, and a second body. The first supporting member has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and the first end is pivoted at the first body. The second body has a notch, the second end is pivoted at the second body, and the first supporting member is fitted to the notch. The second body and the first supporting member fitted to the notch are closed or opened up with respect to the first body together as the first supporting member is pivotally rotated relative to the first body. When the second body is opened up, the second body and the first supporting member are pivotally rotated relatively to separate the first supporting member from the notch and move a bottom end of the second body to a preset position on the first body.
