Abstract: An electronic device includes a first main body part at least one second main body part connected to the first main body part so as to be rotatable, or such that the first and second main body parts pivot relative to each other, and a connecting part that connects the second main body part to the first main body part or another second main body part adjacent thereto, wherein the connecting part includes a connecting member that rotatably connects the first and at least one second main body parts, a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) that is surrounded by the connecting member and electrically connects at least one second main body part to the first main body part and a reinforcing member that is interposed between the connecting member and the FPCB and at least partially overlaps the FPCB.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first flexible member, a rigid member positioned on one surface of the first flexible member, and a second flexible member positioned on the one surface of the first flexible member in at least a part of a periphery of the rigid member. The first flexible member is attached to a case member of the electronic device with the rigid member and the second flexible member being interposed therebetween.

Abstract: A sliding apparatus for a dual slide-type portable communication device, which includes a locking unit selectively formed in sliding members and configured to restrict movement of a first sliding member in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of a body housing when the first sliding member is slid in a lengthwise direction of the body housing and to restrict movement of the first and second sliding members when the first and second sliding members are slid in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the body housing. The body housing and a sliding housing configured to be slid on the body housing in a lengthwise direction of the body housing or in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the body housing.

Abstract: Provided is a portable terminal including a microphone hole formed to perforate from an outer wall of a housing to an inner wall of the housing, a duct groove extending from an inner side of the housing and being open on a top surface thereof, a microphone holder coupled with the top surface of the duct groove, and a microphone coupled with the microphone holder, in which a duct connected to the microphone hole is formed by coupling the microphone holder with the duct groove, and the microphone is connected with the microphone hole through the duct. The duck is formed by coupling the duct groove formed in the housing of the terminal with the microphone holder coupled with the microphone, thereby smoothly delivering input sound such as user's voice to the microphone and contributing to the slimness of the terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a wireless telephone having at least two speakers include a first speaker mounted on a folder housing of the wireless telephone; and a second speaker mounted on a body housing of the wireless telephone. The first and second speakers can be a telephone conversation speaker or a multimedia speaker, where the multimedia speaker outputs a message reception alert tone or a ringing tone. The method and apparatus further include a rotary section for rotating the folder housing, where the first or second speakers can be mounted on the rotary section.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for compensating for backlight in a mobile terminal with a camera, which includes a camera unit having a camera lens and an ultraviolet sensor, which are disposed adjacent to each other and oriented in a same direction; and a control unit for generating a photographing control signal when a photographing mode key is input and controlling compensation for backlight while in the photographing mode.

Abstract: A service implementing method and apparatus according to an ultraviolet (UV) index in a mobile terminal provides diverse information and services according to the UV index detected by the mobile terminal having a UV sensor mounted thereon. The service implementing method and apparatus includes switching over to a UV alarm function mode when an alarm function is selected in a UV management mode, setting a predetermined time interval for informing a user of the UV index when an alarm interval is selected in the UV alarm function mode. The service implementing method and apparatus further includes setting a specified time for informing the user of the UV index when an alarm time is selected in the UV alarm function mode, and setting avatars or alarm sounds for informing the user of the UV index according to the set time when an alarm method is selected in the UV alarm function mode.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling an auto-zooming operation of a mobile terminal. The apparatus and method for controlling an auto-zooming operation of a mobile terminal can automatically adjust the size of a target subject captured by an image capture device such as a camcorder to be equal to a predetermined size irrespective of a distance between the image capture device and the target object.
