Abstract
Embodiments relate to mobile devices and systems having an operative component integrated into a first housing and a complementary component within an opening of a second housing moveably coupled to the first housing such that, in a particular configuration of the device or system, the operative component is aligned with the complementary component to enhance performance of the operative component.
Claims21
(canceled)
A mobile device comprising:
- an operative component and a first user interface component integrated into a first housing;
- a second user interface component integrated into a second housing moveably coupled to the first housing;
- and
- a plurality of complementary components, to enhance performance of the operative component, within a component housing integrated into the second housing and adjacent to an opening of the second housing, wherein each of the complementary components are moveable along a linear direction from the operative component housing into the opening, wherein the second housing being moveably coupled to the first housing provides movement between first and second configurations of the mobile device, and wherein, in the first configuration, the first user interface component, the second user interface component, and the operative component are exposed from the mobile device and, in the second configuration, the operative component is adjacent to and aligned with a selected one of the complementary components within the opening of the second housing.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor and the memory are disposed within a first housing;
- an operative component and a first user interface component integrated into the first housing;
- a second user interface component integrated into a second housing moveably coupled to the first housing;
- and
- a plurality of complementary components, to enhance performance of the operative component, within a component housing integrated into the second housing and adjacent to an opening of the second housing, wherein each of the complementary components are moveable along a linear direction from the operative component housing into the opening, wherein the second housing being moveably coupled to the first housing provides movement between first and second configurations of the mobile device, wherein, in the first configuration, the first user interface component, the second user interface component, and the operative component are exposed from the mobile device and, in the second configuration, the operative component is adjacent to and aligned with a selected one of the complementary components within the opening of the second housing.
3 more elements
A mobile device comprising:
- a camera and a first display integrated into a first housing;
- a second display integrated into a second housing moveably coupled to the first housing;
- and
- a plurality of optical filters, to enhance performance of the camera, within an optical filter bank housing integrated into the second housing and adjacent to an opening of the second housing, wherein each of the optical filters are moveable along a linear direction from the optical filter bank housing into the opening, wherein the second housing being moveably coupled to the first housing provides movement between first and second configurations of the mobile device, and wherein, in the first configuration, the first display, the second display, and the camera are exposed from the mobile device and, in the second configuration, the camera is adjacent to and aligned with a selected one of the optical filters within the opening of the second housing.
