Abstract
An input/output hall structure for a sound device in a portable terminal includes a main hole and a plurality of sub-holes. The main hole is provided in a case frame forming the exterior of the portable terminal to be exposed to the exterior, and inputs/outputs sound. The plurality of sub-holes is branched from the main hole and communicates with the main hole. The sub-hole and a corresponding sound device communicate sound. The structure reduces the number of holes for inputting/outputting sound of a sound device and provides a more elegant appearance with improved function. A plurality of sound devices can input/output through the main hole and branched configuration of sub-holes.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a case frame including a set of holes formed thereon;
- and
- a speaker and a microphone placed in an enclosure formed at least by the case frame, the speaker to communicate first sound to outside of the apparatus via a first subset of the set of holes, and the microphone to communicate second sound from the outside of the apparatus via a second subset of the set of holes.
An apparatus comprising:
- a case frame including a set of holes formed thereon;
- and
- a speaker and a microphone placed in an enclosure formed at least by the case frame, the speaker aligned with a first subset of the set of holes via a first passage and the microphone aligned with a second subset of the set of holes via a second passage.
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a case frame including a set of holes formed thereon;
- a speaker and a microphone placed in an enclosure formed at least by the case frame;
- and
- at least one plate including a first opening and a second opening, each of the first opening and the second opening at least partially overlapping with the set of holes, and the first sub hole aligned with the speaker and the second sub hole aligned with the microphone.
