Abstract
A portable electronic device is provided, including a main body, a C-shaped member, and a hinge module, wherein the main body includes a display surface and the C-shaped member includes an opening. The hinge module pivotally connects the main body with the C-shaped member. When the main body is situated in a first position, the main body covers the opening. When the main body rotates from the first position around an axis to a second position relative to the C-shaped member via the hinge module, the main body is away from the opening. An acute angle is formed between the axis and the display surface.
Claims18
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a main body, comprising a display surface;
- a C-shaped member, comprising an opening;
- a hinge module, pivotally connecting the main body with the C-shaped member and comprising a sliding mechanism, wherein the sliding mechanism comprises a first member connected to the main body and a second member connected to the C-shaped member, and the first member is pivotally connected to the second member and is slidable relative to the second member;
- and
- a processor;
- wherein when the main body is situated in a first position, the main body covers the opening, and when the main body rotates from the first position around an axis to a second position relative to the C-shaped member via the hinge module, the processor transmits a disable signal to the main body and the main body is away from the opening, wherein an acute angle is formed between the axis and the display surface, wherein during the rotation of the main body relative to the C-shaped member, the relative position between the first member and the second member is maintained.
