  • Publication number: 20230089441
    Abstract: A stand having a pivoting mechanism is included in a set of electronic device. The pivoting mechanism includes a first pivoting element, a second pivoting element pivotally connected to the first pivoting element, a multi-positioning assembly connected to the first and the second pivoting element, and a restoring element having two ends that are respectively contacting the first and the second pivoting element. When the second pivoting element is, respectively, at a first and a second position, a first and a second angle are formed between the first and the second pivoting element. The first angle is less than the second angle. The multi-positioning assembly temporarily positions the first pivoting element with the second pivoting element. When the second pivoting element is, respectively, at the first and the second position, the restoring element has a first and a second deformation. The first deformation is less than the second deformation.

  • Patent number: 9575656
    Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for displaying a virtual button are provided in the invention. The method includes the following steps. First, the virtual button is activated. Each interactive object displayed on a display frame of a touch screen is detected to obtain an object region occupied by each of the interactive objects, and an initial position of the virtual button on the display frame is obtained. Next, whether the initial position of the virtual button is located within the object region determined. If yes, the virtual button would be displayed at the initial position. If no, whether a non-object region satisfies a first predetermined condition is determined so as to accordingly display the virtual button at the initial position, a first designated position lies within the non-object region, or a second designated position lies within both of the object region and the non-object region.

  • Patent number: 9564571
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a main body and a thermoelectric conversion module. The main body has a heat generating element therein. The thermoelectric conversion module includes a shell and a thermoelectric conversion element. The shell is assembled to the main body. The thermoelectric conversion element is pivoted on the shell and has an operation surface and a back surface opposite to each other. The thermoelectric conversion element is adapted to rotate between a first state and a second state relatively to the shell. When the thermoelectric conversion element is in the first state, the operation surface faces the main body and receives heat from the heat generating element, for the thermoelectric conversion element to generate electricity. When the thermoelectric conversion element is in the second state, the back surface faces the main body and the operation surface receives heat from external environment, for the thermoelectric conversion element to generate electricity.
