There is also included an illumination device, such as an LED or collection of LEDs which can illuminate the material. There can also be included a controller which can take some form of input, such as from a network, or a sensor, and can convert that input into a signal to control the illumination. There is also included a method for performing such color change.

Methods and apparatuses for operating a portable device based on an accelerometer are described. According to one embodiment of the invention, an accelerometer attached to a portable device detects a movement of the portable device. In response, a machine executable code is executed within the portable device to perform one or more predetermined user configurable operations. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

A system that includes a desk top assembly of a display and sensors mounted on a robotic arm. The arm moves the assembly so that it remains within position and orientation tolerances relative to the user's head as the user looks around. Near-field speaker arrays supply audio and a microphone array senses a user's voice. Filters are applied to head motion to reduce latency for arm's tracking of the head. The system is full duplex with other systems allowing immersive collaboration. Lighting and sound generation take place close to the user's head. A haptic interface device allows the user to grab the display / sensor array and move it about. Motion acts as a planar selection device for 3D data. Planar force feedback allows a user to “feel” the data. Users see not only each other through display windows, but can also see the positions and orientations of each others' planar selections of shared 3D models or data.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, comprising a first surface including a transparent later and a second surface, a display exposed through the transparent layer and including an active area, a first adhesive layer, a touchscreen panel, and a second adhesive layer, an opening formed at least partially through the first adhesive layer, a plurality of conductive lines disposed extending around a periphery of the opening so as not to optically block the opening, a camera device positioned including an image sensor disposed through at least a portion of the opening, and an integrated circuit (IC) electrically coupled to the plurality of conductive lines, wherein the IC is configured to provide image data to the display.

The present invention relates to a device and methods for storing, sorting, sharing and communicating information with a device, which uses a tangible real-world user interface. In an embodiment of the invention, the device is intended to facilitate communication of information through intuitive operations and commands.

A touch screen assembly for use with a display, such as a flat panel display. The touch screen assembly includes a transparent panel, preferably in the form of a panel of tempered glass adhered to a touch screen panel. Consoles having touch screen assemblies are also disclosed.

A plastic film screen protector that prevents interference patterns from arising when the film touches the screen is described. The advantages are accomplished by the film having a slightly roughened surface so that the majority of the film facing an electronic device screen does not substantially touch the screen. These physical aberrations prevent Newton ring interference patterns and spots caused by refractive index differences between air and the film material.

The present invention discloses a portable electronic device and magnetic fixation board therefor. The magnetic fixation board is disposed on a surface of a wall or a casing of an electrical product. The portable electronic device has at least one first magnetic element and the magnetic fixation board has at least one second magnetic element. The second and the first magnetic elements magnetically attract each other and the portable electronic device is attached to the magnetic fixation board. Based on the attraction interaction between the first magnetic element of the portable electronic device and the second magnetic element of the magnetic fixation board, when the portable electronic device is standing idle, users can directly locate the portable electronic device on the magnetic fixation board in the attraction mode and arrange the portable electronic device conveniently, thereby improving the impressions of using electrical products.

An architecture allows individual system components to be developed and tested individually, i.e., as distinct modules, and to be subsequently combined through standardized electrical and communication interfaces. Any combination of these modules can be implemented to form different products that provide any number of functions, such as an integrated system for monitoring a health condition and / or delivering a medication. The architecture also provides an approach for dynamically updating the product and offering its users the latest generation of technology even after the users have already purchased the product. In particular, the embodiments employ the communication interfaces to also provide connection to a remote network that can update or upgrade the product's software when the product is out in the field.

A spherical display and control device, that is preferably collapsible between a spherical configuration and a collapsed generally cylindrical ellipsoid configuration, comprising a flexible transparent spherical surface sprung attached to a central hinged modular cube assembly that contains digital displays on outward faces, and circuitry, battery units and electronic modules on inward surfaces, where said sphere surface contains surface position sensing layers and said central cube contains gyroscopic and inertial sensing devices to provide spherical rotation, and physical displacement data for three dimensional control applications, where said displays preferably have curved polarizer lenses such that the overall device appears as a spherical display or are flat to form an overall Cuboid display or are combined with a flexible spherical display surface. The overall device being mechanically biased such that it is Bi-stable between the spherical and collapsed configuration via the action of pulling open and rotating the central cube halves.

An expansion unit capable of being detachably mounted to an expansion bay of an information processing apparatus, the expansion unit including an imaging device, a moving member moving the imaging device between a state in which the imaging device is stored inside the expansion unit and a state in which the imaging device projects outwardly from the expansion unit, and a member capable of changing a direction in which the imaging device is pointed when the imaging device is extended from the expansion unit, the imaging device being detachable from the expansion unit and supportable in such detached state.

The invention provides an electronic device and an image acquisition method. The electronic device comprises a shell, a display screen component, a camera and a processor. The display screen component is arranged on the shell, the display screen component and the shell together form an accommodating cavity, and the display screen component comprises multiple image pixels for displaying images. The camera is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and receives light rays penetrating through the display screen component so as to output an initial image comprising first image information outside the electronic device. The processor is used for processing the initial image so as to obtain a target image only comprising the first image information outside the electronic device. According to the electronic device and the image acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the camera acquires an image outside the electronic device by virtue of a transparent entity area on the display screen component, two upper and lower reserved wide edges for mounting optical devices on a display surface of the electronic device are saved, a surrounding narrow frame is achieved, the screen ratio of the electronic device is increased, and the user experience is promoted.

An antisoiling hardcoated film comprising a substantially transparent substrate, a hardcoat layer comprising inorganic oxide particles dispersed in a binder matrix, and an antisoiling layer comprising a perfluoropolyether. The antisoiling layer can be very thin, thus reducing the cost of the perfluoropolyether. The film has very good scratch, smudge and glare resistance and very good interlayer adhesion and durability. The film can be in the form of a single flexible substrate or a stack of such substrates. The film or stack can be sized to fit the display screen of an electronic display device such as a personal digital assistant or cell phone.
