Extended Closure Sensor Design for an Electronic Device

A device, comprising:

• a first magnet;
• a ferromagnetic material, the ferromagnetic material being positioned at a first fixed distance from the first magnet;
• a magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor being positioned at a second fixed distance from the first magnet and at a third fixed distance from the ferromagnetic material, the magnetic sensor configured such that a first output of the magnetic sensor is triggered by magnetic fields having a first polarity and a second output of the magnetic sensor is triggered by magnetic fields having a second polarity;
• and
• a second magnet, the second magnet being positioned at an adjustable distance from the first magnet, the ferromagnetic material, and the magnetic sensor such that:
• a first position of the second magnet causes a first magnetic field of the first polarity from the first magnet to be incident upon the magnetic sensor and trigger the first output;
• and
• a second position of the second magnet magnetizes the ferromagnetic material such that a second magnetic field of the second polarity from the ferromagnetic material is incident upon the magnetic sensor and triggers the second output.
