Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of digital information appliances, and more specifically, to a digital information appliance comprised of a central housing having one or more foldable panels rotatably attached.
  • Digital information appliances such as personal digital assistants, digital phones, videophones, digital cameras, electronic books and portable information handling systems, are known in the art for being able to store, manipulate and communicate information. In many applications, it is desirable to have the display of information maximized while the appliance is being operated, and minimized when not in use. Current devices do not readily lend themselves to the maximization of the display size for viewing and the minimization of the display and appliance size for storage and standby operation.
  • a digital information appliance having a central housing and at least a first foldable panel rotatably mounted on the housing for rotatable or pivotal movement between a closed position covering at least a portion of a top surface of the central housing, and an opened position rotated away from the top surface of the central housing.
  • the appliance comprises a display screen having a first segment mounted on a top surface of the central housing so as to be at least partially covered by the first foldable panel in a closed position, and a second segment mounted on an inside surface of the foldable panel .
  • the first and said second segments of the display screen are constructed and arranged such that they are closely adjacent each other and capable of displaying a substantially continuous image across the first and second segments when the first panel is in the opened position.
  • the appliance also has a control apparatus, such as a processor or central processing unit, operatively coupled to the first and second segments of the display screen for producing an image across the first and said second segments of the display screen when the panel is in the opened position.
  • the control apparatus is also capable of displaying an image on an uncovered portion of the first segment of the display when the foldable panel is in the closed position.
  • the foldable panel may be flipped over and then closed over the central housing such that the first display segment of the central housing is at least partially covered by the foldable panel while the second segment of the foldable panel now faces outward, rather than inward toward the central housing. In this manner, the smaller display region of the second segment of the display panel may be used while the appliance is in the closed position.
  • This document also describes an alternative embodiment of a digital information appliance having a central housing and a foldable panel rotatably mounted on the housing for pivotal movement between a closed position covering at least a portion of a top surface of the central housing and an opened position.
  • a display screen has a first segment thereof mounted on a top surface of the central housing and a second segment thereof mounted on an inside surface of the first panel .
  • the first and said second segments of the first display screen are constructed and arranged such that they are closely adjacent each other when the first panel is in the opened position.
  • control apparatus operatively coupled to the first display screen for producing an image on the first display screen when the first panel is in the opened position.
  • the control apparatus is also operatively coupled to the second display screen for producing an image on the second display screen when the second panel is in the closed position.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a digital appliance according to the present invention illustrating a first and second panel shown in a partially opened position which is achieved by pivoting each panel on its hinged connections to the central housing, further showing a first foldable display screen and a second display screen mounted on an outside surface of one of the panels;
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of Fig. 1 where the panels are in the fully opened position showing two display panels;
  • Fig. 3 is a side elevation view of the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 1 where the foldable panels completely overlap each other and the top surface of the central housing;
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation view of another embodiment of the invention where the foldable panels do not overlap each other;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention having a single display screen used to provide display segments 514, 518 and 522;
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are perspective views of a videophone embodiment of the invention in the partially and fully opened positions respectively;
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention where the hinged connection is in the middle of the panel.
  • Digital information appliance 100 comprises a central housing 102, sized and shaped so that it may be held by a user m one hand.
  • the appliance may be a personal digital assistant, although a number of other embodiments of the appliance are disclosed herein.
  • the central housing 102 is in communication with a first foldable panel and a second foldable panel, 104 and 106 respectively, which are rotatably or pivotally movable on hinges, 108 and 110 respectively, which are mounted on opposite ends of central housing 102.
  • foldable panel 104 when m the closed position, as shown in FIG. 3, s substantially fully overlapped by foldable panel 106, when they are both m the closed position, although it is understood that in alternative preferred embodiments, panel 104 may be less than fully overlapped by panel 106 when both are m the closed position.
  • panel 106 may not overlap panel 104 at all. As shown more particularly in FIG.
  • a first display screen 112 comprises a first segment 114 mounted on a top surface 116 of central housing 102.
  • a second segment 118 of the display 114 is mounted on an inside surface of panel 104
  • display screen 112 is the main display screen for the digital appliance.
  • screen 112 When the panel 104 is fully opened, the two segments 114 and 118 of screen 112 cooperate to display a substantially seamless image extending across both segments 114 and 118 to cover substantially the entire image displaying surface portion of display 112.
  • screen 112 will be a polymer backed LCD that is foldable along hinge 108.
  • screen 112 may alternatively be two separate segments 114 and 118 that are mounted on housing 102 and panel 104 so that their image bearing surfaces substantially abut each other when panel 104 is in the fully opened position. It is understood that the present invention is intended to cover an appliance having the central housing 102 and a first panel 104 only. However, since it is desirable to have a large display area, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be discussed with reference to the present illustrations that show an appliance having the central housing 102, as well as a first and a second panel, 104 and 106, respectively.
  • first panel 104 may also be hinged in the center of the panel (as shown in FIG. 8) such that the panel 104 can be flipped over to expose the second segment of the display even when in the closed position.
  • the foldable panel 104 may be flipped over and then closed over the central housing 102 such that the first display segment 114 of the central housing 102 is at least partially covered by the foldable panel 104 while the second segment 118 of the foldable panel 104 now faces outward, rather than inward toward the central housing 102. In this manner, the smaller display region of the second segment 118 of the display 112 may be used while the appliance 100 is in the closed position.
  • screen 112 may also have a"touch screen” feature that allows a user to enter information into the system by touching designated portions of the screen in response to the image displayed on the screen.
  • the image displayed may facilitate the entry of text information by displaying the image of a keyboard so that the user can form words by selecting characters from the displayed keyboard by tapping screen 112 with a suitable stylus.
  • the user may select for display certain information, such as dates from calendars or stored memos from an index of memos by using the stylus to designate desired information from a menu displayed on screen 112.
  • FIGS. 1-3 employs screen 112 to act as a single or unitary display unit
  • other embodiments of the invention may have operating configurations where the first segment 114 of screen 112 shows one type of information and the second segment 116 of screen 112 may display another type of information than is displayed on segment 114.
  • Segment 114 of screen 112 may even be configured to act as a touch screen control and display unit while segment 116 acts as a display only, and vice versa.
  • central housing 102 also comprises control apparatus 120 that may be contained within it for performing the various functions performed in the digital information appliance.
  • Control apparatus 120 is operatively coupled to the first 114 and second 118 segments of the first display screen 112 to produce a unitary image thereon, whether it is comprised of one folded screen or two closely adjacent separate screens.
  • control apparatus 120 shuts down the display screen when the first panel is not in the opened position, unless the second segment of the panel 104 is flipped over to be viewed in the closed position.
  • second panel 106 has a second display screen 122 mounted on the inside surface thereof so that it is visible to the operator when the second panel is in the opened position as shown in FIG. 2.
  • second display screen 122 is a touch screen display configured for operation with the control apparatus 120 to function as the primary data entry unit when the panels are in the opened position.
  • Second display screen 122 and first display screen 112 normally function to display separate image information.
  • second display screen 122 is a separate unit from first display screen 112 and the two displays need not be so close to each other so as to have the capability of displaying a substantially seamless image across both display screens.
  • first and second display screens are either a single screen display folded along both hinge lines 508 and 510 or are two or more closely contiguous individual screen segments 514, 518 and 522 which may all be controlled by control apparatus 520 to seamlessly display a single image across all three display screens covering the central housing and the inside surfaces of both the first 504 and second 506 folding panels.
  • FIG. 4 shows the digital information appliance in a fully closed position with the first panel 104 and second panel 106 closed over the central housing 102. It can be seen in FIG. 4 that panels 104 and 106 are substantially thinner than central housing 102 because substantially all of the control apparatus 120 is in the central housing 102 and the panels may carry only the display screens 122 and 124 mounted on them.
  • display and data entry screen 124 is mounted on the outside surface of panel 106 so that is accessible to the user when the accessory is fully folded. Display and data entry screen 124 remains accessible for limited operation of some aspects of the appliance 100 even when it is in the fully closed mode as discussed below.
  • display screen and data entry device 124 is mounted on the outside surface of panel 106, either it or screen segment 118 can be used to review certain information concerning the status and operation of the personal data assistant when first panel 104 is in an opened position while panel 106 is in a closed position.
  • data entry screen 124 when both panels 104 and 106 are closed, the information normally presented on second display screen 122 when the panels are opened, is presented on screen 124. In other embodiments, the information presented will be limited so that only critical status or other information is displayed on screen 124 when both panels are in the closed position.
  • panel 106 may be folded closed first, and then panel 104 may be folded over panel 106. This allows for panel 104 to provide protection to screen 124 when the appliance is in the closed position and being stored away.
  • FIGs . 6 and 7 show a videophone 600 embodiment of the present invention.
  • the videophone 600 has an internal video camera 601, which is shown as a part of central housing 102 in which the mechanism of the camera is contained with suitable control apparatus 620 for operating the camera and the display screens 612, 618 and 622.
  • camera 601 provides the control apparatus 620 with an image of the user of the videophone that is then transmitted to the videophone of the party with whom the user is communicating.
  • control apparatus 620 may typically provide the image to the first display, screens 612 and 618.
  • information relating to the status and operation of the videophone is provided to the second display screen 622 when both of the foldable panels 604 and 606 are fully opened.
  • second display screen 622 is typically equipped with a touch sensitive layer for accepting the input of user-supplied information when both foldable panels 604 and 606 are opened.
  • the information inputted through the touch screen panel of display screen 622 would include dialing information put m by the user to access another phone or videophone.
  • the dialing information applied could include selecting an already stored phone number from a list displayed on first display screens 612 and 618 or a complete phone number applied by the user to the touch screen layer of screen 612.
  • Some of the same information shown and received on the second display screen 622 may, under the control of control apparatus 620, also be displayed and input from the third display screen 624 when the second foldable panel is in the closed position.
  • first and second panels 604 and 606 may be in the closed position.
  • control apparatus 620 provides the image data to third display screen 624, which, because it is located on the external face of the panel, is readily viewed when the videophone 600 is not fully operating and the panels have been folded for more compact operation.
  • the information that might typically be displayed might relate to the condition of the batteries among other things.
  • third display screen 624 may cooperate with control apparatus 620 to display the caller ID of the phone originating the call.
  • third video display screen may spend much of the time m a "resting" mode with nothing displayed until the videophone 600 is activated by an incoming call, generation of an internal alarm by the control apparatus to indicate that some scheduled activity is due for action or if the user does something affirmative to at least partially turn videophone 600 on by touching display screen 624 or even oy moving videophone 600.
  • Another embodiment of the invention could be a digital camera combined with personal digital assistant features. Such a digital camera could have an internal camera portion as was the case with the videophone 600 or could operate with a separate camera sensing portion which communicates its information to the digital information appliance using suitable coupling technology such as standard infra red or other information ports. Without departing from the present invention, the camera could be used for still photographs or video or both.
  • FIGs. 1 through 4 a personal digital assistant as shown in FIGs. 1 through 4 and the digital videophone shown in FIGs. 6 and 7.
  • Control apparatus 120 could determine whether, at any particular time the appliance 100 were to be operated as phone or personal digital assistant or, in some cases as both devices simultaneously.
  • the digital information appliance could be configured as a game appliance with the first screen used for display of game information and the second display screen to input control and operating information for selecting and playing the game. In the operating mode where the playing of the game is suspended and the panels closed, the control apparatus shuts down the communication of information with the second display screen and enables communication to and from the third display screen.
  • the digital appliance can be used as a file or scrapbook for a collection of photographs or for a collection of memoranda or pages of information in a book, for example.
  • the first display screen because of its relatively larger size would normally be selected as the primary display of the images of the stored information to be viewed while the second and third screens would function respectively for the operation and control of the device in the fully opened and fully operating condition and in the reduced operation condition called for when the first and second panels are in the closed position.
  • Another embodiment could be a combined personal digital assistant and telephone, which would merely omit the video portion of the videophone shov/n in FIGs. 6 and 7 in combination with the personal digital assistant of FIGs. 1-4.
  • another embodiment could be comprised of a compact telephone alone that would operate equivalent to the videophone with the omission of the video feature
