Abstract: An apparatus comprising a suspension unit comprising: a first part coupled to a display assembly, a second part coupled to an apparatus body; and a suspension part coupled at one end to the first part and at another end to the second part, con-figured to suspend the first part relative to the second part by the bending force of the suspension part, such that the display assembly is movable relative to the apparatus body.

Abstract: A force sensitive surface measures force or pressure applied to the surface. The surface may also detect the touch position. The force sensing surface is calibrated with a stylus having a force measuring element. The stylus measures the force information from force applied on the surface and sends the information to the device with the force sensing surface. The device detects the same force and calibrates the force sensing element according to the information received from the stylus. The device may also detect the position of the touch. As the force information obtained from different portions of the surface may be different, the calibration may be repeated for multiple positions on the force and touch sensitive surface. The calibration may also be used to calibrate a position sensing feature on a force sensing surface having multiple force sensors.

Abstract: A display with a force sensing function has two layers of a reference voltage, for example a ground voltage. One reference voltage layer is inside the display stack. A sensor layer between the two reference voltage layers senses capacitance from the distance between the sensor layer and the reference voltage layer. The capacitance changes according to the force applied to the display, as the display moves slightly when the user presses the display. A thin foam layer allows the distance between the sensor layer and the reference voltage to change. This change is reflected in the measured capacitance. Multiple force sensors also enable detection of the position of the touch.

Abstract: In an embodiment a resilient lever is placed between the top body and the bottom body of a flip top electronic apparatus. The axles of the lever are located so that a front edge of the top body stays near the bottom body during the movement of the top body over a keypad on the bottom body. An end of the top body jumps or slides over the bottom body, e.g. keyboard. The resilient feature gives the locking effect in the open and closed positions of the apparatus. There can be one, two or more resilient members. In an embodiment a rail is positioned to the bottom body. A resilient follower is attached to the top body. The resilient follower is also attached to the rail. Thereby these elements bound top body's front edge to the bottom body. The first body portion can be a top body having a display chassis, for example a lid. The second body portion can be a bottom body having a keyboard or a keypad, for example the second body portion can be an engine block having a chassis.

Abstract: A system and method for simultaneously capturing multiple pictures or videos on an electronic device. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electronic device includes a first camera and a second camera. The first camera is capable of taking a first picture, while the second camera is capable of taking a second picture. The first picture and the second picture may be simultaneously displayed in a “picture in picture” format on the display screen, stored into memory of the electronic device or transmitted to a remote location.

Abstract: A device comprising a body part (101) and a functional module (102) is presented. The functional module is situated at least partly in a cavity (121) of the body part and is connected to the body part with a supporting mechanism (103, 104, 105, 106) arranged to allow the functional module to be turned relative to the body part. The supporting mechanism is arranged to move an axis of rotation of the functional module in parallel with a surface of the cavity as a response to turning the functional module relative to the body part. Due to the fact that the axis of rotation is moved when turning the functional module, the free space that is needed around the functional module can be minimized. The device can be e.g. a mobile phone and the functional module can be e.g. a camera element of the mobile phone.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for providing a plurality of hinged configurations to first/second members of a portable electronic device, the apparatus comprising a hinge mechanism configured to provide for a closed configuration of the device in which the first member of the device overlays the second member, a partially open configuration in which the first/second members are slid with respect to one another compared to the closed configuration such that the members are laterally displaced with respect to one another along an axis of the hinge mechanism so as to expose a user interface, and an open configuration in which the first/second members are rotated relative to one another around the axis of the hinge mechanism compared to the closed configuration so as to expose an inner surface region of each member, and wherein the apparatus is configured to urge one or more of the first/second members so as to provide for removal of the lateral displacement when the device is urged from the partially open confi

Abstract: The invention relates to a slider actuator (203) suitable for controlling relative movement between sliding elements (201, 202). The slider actuator includes two or more contact parts (209, 210) capable of forming mechanical contacts with one of the sliding elements in at least two locations of that sliding element (201). Each of the at least two contact parts is capable of supporting the sliding element in mutually opposite directions. The fact that the slider actuator includes two or more contact parts that are capable of supporting a sliding element in mutually opposite directions in different locations of the sliding element makes possible, for example, to extend the maximum range of movement of the sliding elements and/or to in crease a number of stable mutual positions of the sliding elements.

Abstract: A mobile electronic device comprises a housing with a first housing part, a second housing part and a third housing part. The first and second housing parts are mounted for a slidable movement relative to one another, whilst the third housing part is mounted for pivotable movement relative to the second housing part. It is suggested that FIG. 4 is published with the abstract.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention disclose an apparatus, for example a mobile phone, comprising a first part and a second part. The first part is slidably and resiliently connected to said second part. The apparatus comprises further a third part, which can be a shuttle part or a cradle part, which third part is advantageously configured to enable the semi-automatic or telescopic opening of the apparatus. Thus relatively small movement of the third part enables generally larger movement of the first part, thereby opening or closing the apparatus semi-automatically. Furthermore the visible and usable portion of the first part of the apparatus can increase and decrease by the control of the relative small movement of the shuttle. The first part can be a sliding cover of the apparatus and the second part a body of the apparatus.
