Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un terminal portable multifonction,The present invention relates to a multifunction portable terminal,
notamment bien que non exclusivement un terminal permettant de mettre en oeuvre des fonctions de téléphonie, d'accès à un réseau Internet, d'appareil especially although not exclusively a terminal for implementing telephony functions, access to an Internet network, device
photos, de console de jeux, de lecteur audio ou vidéo, ou d'assistant personnel (agenda, calculatrice...)... photos, game console, audio or video player, or personal assistant (calendar, calculator ...) ...
ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTION L'intégration de ces fonctions dans un même terminal pose des problèmes d'ergonomie en raison de la dif- ficulté qui existe actuellement pour la sélection d'une fonction et la mise en oeuvre de celle-ci. Dans la plupart des terminaux proposés à ce jour, l'utilisateur accède aux différentes fonctions par une série de menus déroulants. Lorsque le terminal propose de nombreuses fonc- tions, il est donc nécessaire d'accéder successivement à de nombreux niveaux de menus pour atteindre la fonction désirée. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The integration of these functions in the same terminal poses ergonomic problems because of the difficulty that currently exists for the selection of a function and the implementation thereof. In most of the terminals proposed to date, the user accesses the various functions through a series of drop-down menus. When the terminal offers many functions, it is therefore necessary to successively access many levels of menus to achieve the desired function.
Il est également connu, notamment du document US 6 009 336'de réaliser un terminal comportant un premier élément de boîtier allongé sur lequel un second élément de boîtier équipé d'un écran est monté pour pivoter au-tour d'un axe perpendiculaire au premier élément de boîtier. Le terminal est en outre équipé de moyens permet-tant de détecter la position relative du premier élément de boîtier et du second élément de boîtier et d'activer une fonction correspondant à cette position. Toutefois, dans le mode de réalisation décrit par ce document, le second élément de boîtier est monté autour d'un axe ex-centré par rapport au premier élément de boîtier et au second élément de boîtier, de sorte que lors du pivote-ment le second élément de boîtier vient en porte à faux par rapport au premier élément de boîtier. La tenue du terminal est donc inconfortable lors de la mise en oeuvre de certaines fonctions. It is also known, in particular from US 6,009,336, to provide a terminal comprising a first elongate housing element on which a second housing element equipped with a screen is mounted to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the first housing element. The terminal is further provided with means for detecting the relative position of the first housing member and the second housing member and for activating a function corresponding to that position. However, in the embodiment described by this document, the second housing member is mounted about an axis centered relative to the first housing member and the second housing member, so that when pivoting the second housing member is cantilevered with respect to the first housing member. The holding of the terminal is therefore uncomfortable when implementing certain functions.
Il est également connu du document US 2866501 2 2003/0013417, de réaliser un terminal multifonction comprenant un premier élément de boîtier comportant un jeu de touches et un second élément de boîtier équipé d'un écran et monté pour pivoter sur le premier élément de boîtier autour d'un axe de symétrie du second élément de boîtier Ce terminal est particulièrement adapté pour le passage d'une fonction de téléphonie à une fonction de lecture vidéo mais présente peu d'intérêt pour d'autres fonctions telles que la saisie de texte, ou l'activation du terminal en tant que console de jeu. It is also known from US 2866501 2 2003/0013417 to provide a multifunction terminal comprising a first housing element comprising a set of keys and a second housing element equipped with a screen and mounted for pivoting on the first housing element. around an axis of symmetry of the second housing element This terminal is particularly adapted for the passage of a telephony function to a video playback function but is of little interest for other functions such as text input, or activation of the terminal as a game console.
OBJET DE L'INVENTION Le but de l'invention est de proposer un terminal multifonction d'une manipulation aisée et confortable quelle que soit la fonction à mettre en oeuvre et qui puisse aisément être adapté à différentes fonctions privilégiées. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to propose a multifunction terminal of easy and comfortable handling whatever the function to be implemented and which can easily be adapted to different privileged functions.
