Abstract: A linkage mechanism including a base, at least one first linking rod, a first linkage member and a driving member is provided. Each of the at least one first linking rod includes a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted to the base via the first pivot portion. The first linking member includes a first engaged portion and a first groove along a first direction. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted in the first groove of the first linkage member via the second pivot portion. The first linking rod is connected to the driving member. When the driving member is located at an unlocked position, the first engaged portion is retracted inside the base. When the driving member is moved from the unlocked position to a locked position, the first linking rod is driven by the driving member, so that the first linkage member is moved along a second direction, and the first engaged portion protrudes from the base. An electronic device is further provided.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a base, a pivoting component, a display and a supporting component. The base has an upper side and a lower side and is suitable to be placed on a surface. The pivoting component is pivotally connected to a rear end of the base. The display is connected to the pivoting component and suitable to be unfolded or closed at the upper side of the base by the pivoting of the pivoting component. The supporting component is pivotally connected to the lower side of the base and suitable to be unfolded or closed at the lower side of the base. When the display is unfolded on the base, an end of the display slides along the supporting component, and the supporting component is unfolded on the base and supports the pivoting component and the rear end of the base away from the surface.

Abstract: A photographing method is provided. The method includes: displaying, in a display of an electronic device, a preview of an object to be photographed; generating at the electronic device, in response to a user input, a brightness control command; modifying, at the electronic device, a current brightness of the display in response to the brightness control command; and photographing, at the electronic device, the object.

Abstract: A portable electronic device packing case includes a packing body and a volume amplifying assembly received in the packing body. The volume amplifying assembly includes a volume amplifying body. The volume amplifying body includes a top wall formed on one end of the volume amplifying body, a side wall connected to the top wall, and a supporting member for supporting a portable electronic device positioned in the volume amplifying body. The top wall defines a plurality of sound holes therein, and the supporting member has a bottom surface defining a plurality of sound transmitting holes. The top wall, the side wall, and the supporting member cooperatively define a sound chamber for sound emitted by the electronic device to resonate therein.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a number of applications each having an icon and a character. The electronic device obtains at least one character and seeks a corresponding application according to the obtained character. When the corresponding application has been sought, a display of the electronic device displays the icon of the corresponding application. The electronic device determines whether one icon is chosen or not. When an icon is chosen, the electronic device starts the corresponding application of the chosen icon.

Abstract: A portable electronic device has various functions such as mobile communication, multimedia entertainment, and data processing. The device includes a main body installed with two keyboards and two slide rails, and two sub-bodies respectively equipped with a display. The sub-bodies are pivoted to each other and rotate through a shaft, and slide along slide rails through connecting members on the main body respectively. Therefore, the sub-bodies can be lifted relative to the main body through the shaft and the connecting members, so as to be optionally drawn close to the main body with the two displays facing the same direction, or to stand on the main body with the two displays facing opposite directions. Therefore, two different operating modes are achieved.

Abstract: A hand-held electronic device being held by a user with a single hand for dialing or with both hands for inputting characters includes a body, a keyboard, two sensors respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the body, and a backlight source. The keyboard has keys forming a region marked with a QWERTY keyboard and a region overlapping the above region and marked with a phone keypad. The sensors detect whether the body is held by a single hand on one side or by both hands on two sides and let the backlight source light up the region marked with the phone keypad on the keyboard when the body is held by a single hand. Thus, the region marked with the phone keypad is highlighted out of the QWERTY keyboard, so it is easy for the user to identify the key numbers and dial quickly.
