  • Patent number: 11256974
    Abstract: A user terminal hardware detection system includes a computing device and an oscilloscope communicatively coupled to the computing device. The oscilloscope obtains a digital signal waveform diagram of a user terminal and sends the digital signal waveform diagram to the computing device. The computing device performs feature recognition on the digital signal waveform diagram using a fault analysis model to identify feature information of the digital signal waveform diagram. The computing device compares the identified feature information to feature information of a faulty hardware module and a fault type of the faulty hardware module in a fault type database. The computing device outputs the faulty hardware module and the fault type of the faulty hardware module represented by the feature information of the digital signal waveform diagram according to a comparison result.

  • Patent number: 11223020
    Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diodes that form an active area on a flexible substrate. Metal traces may extend between the active area and an inactive area of the flexible substrate. Display driver circuitry such as a display driver integrated circuit may be coupled to the inactive area. The metal traces may extend across a bend region in the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be bent in the bend region. The flexible substrate may be made of a thin flexible material to reduce metal trace bending stress. A coating layer in the bend region may be provided with an enhanced elasticity to allow its thickness to be reduced. The flexible substrate may be bent on itself and secured within an electronic device without using a mandrel.

  • Publication number: 20210297563
    Abstract: Computing devices are described that can reduce a hole-in-active-area (HIAA) size for flexible displays. The computing device may reduce an HIAA size for a camera without using a circular opening, which is often used on smartphones. In particular, the computing device may utilize a non-circular opening (e.g., a pill-shaped HIAA) and include a camera positioned eccentrically within the non-circular opening. In this way, the HIAA size is minimized to increase a size of an active area (e.g., comprising emissive regions) of the flexible display. Furthermore, the reduced HIAA size can reduce electrical circuitry needed within the active area. The flexible displays can include both bendable and rollable displays.

  • Patent number: 11011150
    Abstract: A method for eliminating noises collected by an electronic device when voice recordings are being taken detects whether the electronic device is in a voice recording mode. A first acquiring device is controlled to acquire the speaking voices of at least one user, when determining that the electronic device is in the voice recording mode. A determination is made as to whether the speaking voices of at least one user acquired by the first acquiring device include noises produced by the vibration device, and eliminating noises produced by the vibration device, when the speaking voices of at least one user acquired by the first acquiring device include the noises produced by the vibration device.
