Abstract: A hinge mechanism pivotally connects first and second housings of an electronics device. The hinge includes a bracket, a floating shaft, a cam member, and a biasing system. The cam member is mounted on the floating shaft. The biasing system is disposed within the first housing, and includes one or more biasing members that allow the cam member and the floating shaft to move axially in a first direction. The one or more biasing members also bias the cam member and the floating shaft in a second, opposing direction. Biasing the floating shaft and the cam member in the second direction maintains the pivotable connection between the first and second housings, and generates the force necessary to yieldingly resist a user pivoting at least one of the first and second housings.

Abstract: One or more features of varying complexity are available with a wireless communications device. A controller in the device determines a user's skill level at operating one or more of the features, and selectively activates the features appropriate for the skill level. The controller also activates a tutorial associated with a selectively enabled feature to teach the user how to operate the feature. As the user gains experience with the selectively enabled feature, the controller selectively enables more complex features and activates their associated tutorials.
