  • Patent number: 9930944
    Abstract: A case for an electronic device including a coupling member detachably coupled to at least a part of the electronic device. A cover, which has one or more folded positions ranging between an opened state and a closed state, the cover extends from the coupling member in a to cover a display of the electronic device, and at least one Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensor disposed in the cover to generate an interrupt based on a pressure applied thereto. The at least one FSR sensor includes one or more inner FSR sensors disposed on an inner surface of the cover, and one or more outer FSR sensors disposed on an outer surface of the cover.

  • Patent number: 9174764
    Abstract: An external cover of a user device includes: an upper cover; a lower cover; and a hinge connecting the upper and lower covers for pivoting the upper cover and lower cover over a front surface and a rear surface of the user device, wherein the upper cover opens and closes a front surface of the user device and comprises at least two or more folding lines along a longitudinal direction of the upper cover such that the upper cover is divided into at least three supports when folded along each of the at least two or more folding lines, and wherein the lower cover holds the user device on an inside surface, and slip preventing units are provided on at least two end surfaces of an outside surface of the second cover for providing enhanced friction between the second cover and a flat location so that the lower cover maintains a stable state in various holding mode of the lower cover facing the hinge, respectively, so that the lower cover maintains a holding state in various holding modes.

  • Patent number: 8320832
    Abstract: A wireless audio output device, a wireless audio output system including the same and a control method thereof are disclosed. When a user approaches the output device, while listening to music on a portable device, the output device automatically connects the wireless audio output system to the portable device, to reproduce the music of the portable device. The control method includes detecting the user, detecting the portable device if the user is sensed, and outputting an audio file being reproduced by the portable device using the wireless audio output system, if the portable device is detected.

  • Patent number: 6201947
    Abstract: A multipurpose learning device having a picture book including a plurality of pages, wherein the pages turned in a top-to-bottom hinged direction instead of a side-to-side hinged direction, a memory unit having audio and video data stored therein, the memory unit being detachably connected to a touch board. A surface of the touch board is declined to a predetermined angle for enabling a user to easily position an electronic pen perpendicular to the touch board. Each sheet of the picture book includes a blank page and a picture page and picture information corresponding to a picture on one of the pages is displayed on a host device, such as a television. A user moves the electronic pen over a blank page which is positioned over the touch board, and a cursor is displayed on the host device at a position corresponding to the position of the electronic pen over the blank page and touch board.
