US 2010/0149733 A1 · PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR

Abstract

A portable electronic device and an operation method therefor are provided. The portable electronic device comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, a sliding module and a rotating module. After the second body portion is slid along the surface of the first portion by the sliding module, the rotating module is promptly triggered to automatically rotate the second body portion to a first angle with respect to the first body portion. The second body portion can be further rotated to a second angle when the second body portion bears a thrust force at the first angle. The portable electronic device can operate in corresponding operation modes according to the angles that the second body portion presents with respect to the first body portion.

Dependent claims

A portable electronic device, comprising:

a first body portion;
a second body portion;
a sliding module connecting to the first body portion and the second body portion for guiding the second body portion to slide from a first position to a second position along a surface of the first body portion;
and
a rotating module connecting to the first body portion and the second body portion;
wherein the rotating module automatically rotates the second body portion to a third position at a first angle with respect to the first body portion after the second body portion slides to the second position, and the second body portion is further operatively rotated from the third position to a fourth position at a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, with respect to the first body portion when the second body portion is subjected to a thrust.
