Patent number: 9838517Abstract: A mobile terminal is provided that does not have a separate dedicated microphone hole. The mobile terminal preferably includes an ear jack assembly and a microphone unit. The ear jack assembly includes an ear jack plug insert hole. The microphone unit is disposed in a neighborhood of the ear jack assembly. The microphone unit is realized to use a microphone hole for receiving an external note also as an ear jack plug insert hole. Since a microphone hole for a speaker phone is excluded, the microphone unit is advantageous in space utilization, and can contribute to designing an elegance appearance of the mobile terminal. In addition, since the microphone unit is manufactured integrally with the ear jack assembly, manufacturing costs reduce and working efficiency may increase.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ju-Hee Chang, Joon-Rae Cho, Jung-Ae Choi, Ki-Won Kim

Patent number: 9100751Abstract: A docking station for sound amplification and sound quality enhancement is provided. The docking station includes a support structure for holding a mobile terminal having an internal speaker to sustain the posture of the mobile terminal, and a body for supporting the support structure, and for physically contacting the speaker to increase the volume of sound output from the speaker. The body includes a collecting hole for contacting the speaker to collect sound waves, and a guide hole that extends from the collecting hole through the body to the outside along an extension direction, is divided into two branches within the body to guide the collected sound waves along different paths, and has a horn shape whose cross section increases along the extension direction. Hence, the docking station can increase the volume of audible sound and sound quality without separate supply of power.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun Tai Kim, Byoung-Hee Lee, Jang Hoon Kang, Joon Rae Cho, Jung Eun Han, Ki Won Kim, Tae Eon Kim, Sun Young Lee
