It should be understood, however, that the detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, Those skilled in the art will be able to clarify from this detailed description.

現在詳細參照本發明較佳實例,其實施例係說明於附圖之中。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments embodiments

首先參照圖1,圖1為說明依據本發明第一實例之行動終端裝置1的平面圖。如圖1所示,該行動終端裝置1包括:一個第一主體10與一個第二主體20,其彼此相連,使得第二主體20能夠在該第一主體10上方水平地旋轉。更詳細地說,行動終端裝置1包括:一個鉸鏈模組30,其被裝設在第一主體10與第二主體20之間的右上角,使得該第二主體20能夠水平地旋轉。Referring first to Fig. 1, there is shown a plan view showing a mobile terminal device 1 according to a first example of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal device 1 includes a first body 10 and a second body 20 that are connected to each other such that the second body 20 can be horizontally rotated above the first body 10. In more detail, the mobile terminal device 1 includes a hinge module 30 that is mounted at an upper right corner between the first body 10 and the second body 20 such that the second body 20 can be horizontally rotated.

此外,鉸鏈模組30的位置有利地容許於第一主體10上存在有一個大的開口區域。應該注意到,鉸鏈模組30的位置也可以在第一主體10與第二主體20之間的左上角處。此外,左側與右側係表示圖1中的左方與右方,而上側與下側則表示圖1中的上方與下方。Moreover, the position of the hinge module 30 advantageously allows for the presence of a large open area on the first body 10. It should be noted that the position of the hinge module 30 may also be at the upper left corner between the first body 10 and the second body 20. Further, the left side and the right side indicate the left side and the right side in FIG. 1, and the upper side and the lower side side indicate the upper side and the lower side in FIG.

此外,如圖1所示,第二主體20具有較第一主體10更小的長度,使得當第二主體20相對於第一主體10關閉時,一部分的第一主體10被曝露出來。此外,一個鍵盤12係形成在被曝露出來的部份中。行動終端裝置也包括:一個位於第一主體10下方前端處的麥克風15以及分別位於第二主體20的上方前端部與下方前端部處的第一揚聲器23與第二揚聲器24。該第二主體20也包括一個顯示裝置21。Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the second body 20 has a smaller length than the first body 10 such that when the second body 20 is closed relative to the first body 10, a portion of the first body 10 is exposed. In addition, a keyboard 12 is formed in the exposed portion. The mobile terminal device also includes a microphone 15 located at the lower end of the first body 10 and a first speaker 23 and a second speaker 24 respectively located at the upper front end portion and the lower front end portion of the second body 20. The second body 20 also includes a display device 21.

因此,使用者能夠利用鍵盤12、麥克風15與第一揚聲器23與第二揚聲器24來接收或打電話給另一方所發出或打進來的電話,而無需打開第二主體20。此外,當第二主體20被旋轉地開啟時,第一揚聲器23也會旋轉,從而藉由與第二揚聲器24的交互影響下來提供使用者立體聲。Therefore, the user can use the keyboard 12, the microphone 15 and the first speaker 23 and the second speaker 24 to receive or call the other party to make or call in without having to open the second body 20. Further, when the second body 20 is rotationally opened, the first speaker 23 is also rotated to provide user stereo by interaction with the second speaker 24.

更詳細地說,圖2是說明第二主體20從圖1所示之關閉狀態順時針旋轉90°之後呈現開啟狀態的平面視圖。如圖2所示,行動終端裝置1也包括形成在第一主體10表面上的鍵盤11。如圖所示,當第二主體20被旋轉90°時,鍵盤11被曝露出來。鍵盤12也是曝露出來的(也就是說,鍵盤12一直是曝露出來的)。In more detail, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the second body 20 in an open state after being rotated clockwise by 90° from the closed state shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal device 1 also includes a keyboard 11 formed on the surface of the first body 10. As shown, when the second body 20 is rotated by 90°, the keyboard 11 is exposed. The keyboard 12 is also exposed (that is, the keyboard 12 is always exposed).

此外,第一鍵盤11包括複數個具有數字、英文字母等等的鍵,其等讓使用者能夠選擇來輸入資訊。鍵盤12包括數個方向鍵、一個發送鍵、一個選單鍵、一個搜尋鍵等等,讓使用者能夠使用這些鍵來選擇特定功能或選單。因此,當第二主體20被旋轉而開啟時,使用者能夠使用第一鍵盤11以及/或鍵盤12接收另一方所發出的電話或打電話給另一方。此外,鍵盤11與12可以是一種以壓按方式操作的按壓式鍵盤或一種以觸碰方式操作的觸碰式鍵盤。In addition, the first keyboard 11 includes a plurality of keys having numbers, English letters, and the like, which allow the user to select to input information. The keyboard 12 includes a plurality of direction keys, a send key, a menu key, a search key, etc., to enable the user to select a particular function or menu using the keys. Therefore, when the second body 20 is rotated to be turned on, the user can use the first keyboard 11 and/or the keyboard 12 to receive a call from the other party or call the other party. Further, the keyboards 11 and 12 may be a push-type keyboard that operates in a press-pressed manner or a touch-type keyboard that operates in a touch-sensitive manner.

因此,且參照圖1與圖2,因為鉸鏈模組30係偏心地配置在第一主體10與第二主體20之間的右上角處,所以鍵盤11具有相當大的區域。換言之,相關技術的旋轉式行動終端裝置包括定位在行動終端裝置中央處的一個鉸鏈模組,其減少了在第一主體上之鍵盤可利用的面積大小。Therefore, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, since the hinge module 30 is eccentrically disposed at the upper right corner between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the keyboard 11 has a relatively large area. In other words, the related art rotary mobile terminal device includes a hinge module positioned at the center of the mobile terminal device, which reduces the size of the area available for the keyboard on the first body.

此外,鉸鏈模組30被配置在一位置,使得當第一主體10與第二主體20處於如圖1所示之關閉位置時,第一主體10與第二主體20的頂部係彼此重疊。這種構型形成一種長條狀行動終端裝置。此外,如在圖2中以虛線所示的,當第二主體20被旋轉時,第二主體20的側邊邊緣部分係較第一主體10的頂部邊緣部分更高,從而形成了T形造型的行動終端裝置。Further, the hinge module 30 is disposed at a position such that when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the closed position as shown in FIG. 1, the top portions of the first body 10 and the second body 20 overlap each other. This configuration forms a long strip of mobile terminal device. Further, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, when the second body 20 is rotated, the side edge portion of the second body 20 is higher than the top edge portion of the first body 10, thereby forming a T-shape. Mobile terminal device.

此外,如圖1所示,當第二主體20相對於第一主體10關閉時,顯示裝置21顯示一個垂直式螢幕,而如圖2所示,當第二主體20相對於第一主體10開啟時,則顯示一個水平式螢幕。在開啟狀態之中,使用者能夠容易地執行在文字傳輸模式下的編輯操作、欣賞一種在顯示裝置21上的視訊隨選(VOD)模式的錄影節目、或廣播模式的電視節目等等。Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the second body 20 is closed relative to the first body 10, the display device 21 displays a vertical screen, and as shown in FIG. 2, when the second body 20 is opened relative to the first body 10. At the time, a horizontal screen is displayed. In the on state, the user can easily perform an editing operation in the text transmission mode, a video program in the video on demand (VOD) mode on the display device 21, or a television program in the broadcast mode, and the like.

接著參照圖3與圖4,其等係為分別說明顯示於圖1與圖2中之行動終端裝置的分解側視圖及組合的側視圖。如圖所式,該行動終端裝置1包括:一個鍵盤裝設部分17,其用於裝設一直被曝露出來的鍵盤12(也就是,當第二主體20被開啟及被關閉時)。同樣包括的是:另一個鍵盤裝設部分16,其被配置緊鄰於鍵盤裝設部分17且在鍵盤裝設部分17下方,而鍵盤裝設部分16係用於裝設該鍵盤11。因此,如圖4所示,第二主體20係從第二鍵盤裝設部分17處被向內裝設,而使其在機械上相當穩定。亦應注意:在圖4中,第二主體20的一個上表面係較第一主體10的一個上表面更高(也就是說,較第一主體10的鍵盤裝設部分17的上表面更高)。3 and FIG. 4, which are side views showing an exploded side view and a combination of the mobile terminal devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively. As shown, the mobile terminal device 1 includes a keyboard mounting portion 17 for mounting a keyboard 12 that has been exposed (i.e., when the second body 20 is opened and closed). Also included is another keyboard mounting portion 16 that is disposed adjacent to the keyboard mounting portion 17 and below the keyboard mounting portion 17, and the keyboard mounting portion 16 is for mounting the keyboard 11. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4, the second body 20 is installed inwardly from the second keyboard mounting portion 17, making it mechanically quite stable. It should also be noted that in FIG. 4, an upper surface of the second body 20 is higher than an upper surface of the first body 10 (that is, higher than the upper surface of the keyboard mounting portion 17 of the first body 10). ).

接下來,圖5係說明依據本發明另一個實例之行動終端裝置90的側視圖。在此實例中,該行動終端裝置90的第二主體92的一個上表面具有與一個鍵盤裝設部分96的一個上表面相同的高度,而該鍵盤裝設部分96係用於裝設一個裝設用鍵盤95。圖5也說明一個用於裝設另一個鍵盤97的鍵盤裝設部分94、與一個鉸鏈模組93。因此,對於圖5所示的構型而言,行動終端裝置90具有更簡單的外觀與更好的穩定性。Next, Fig. 5 is a side view showing a mobile terminal device 90 according to another example of the present invention. In this example, an upper surface of the second body 92 of the mobile terminal device 90 has the same height as an upper surface of a keyboard mounting portion 96, and the keyboard mounting portion 96 is used to mount a device. Use the keyboard 95. FIG. 5 also illustrates a keyboard mounting portion 94 for mounting another keyboard 97, and a hinge module 93. Therefore, for the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the mobile terminal device 90 has a simpler appearance and better stability.

接下來參照圖6到圖8,其為圖1與圖2所示的鉸鏈模組30之分解視圖。如圖6與圖8所示,鉸鏈模組30包括第一與第二鉸鏈構件31與32,而該等第一與第二鉸鏈構件31與32被構型來以平行的方式安裝,並形成一個平板。第一鉸鏈構件31形成在第一主體10的上表面上,而第二鉸鏈構件32則形成在對應於該第一主體10的位置之第二主體20的下表面上。Referring next to Figures 6 through 8, an exploded view of the hinge module 30 of Figures 1 and 2 is shown. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the hinge module 30 includes first and second hinge members 31 and 32, and the first and second hinge members 31 and 32 are configured to be mounted in a parallel manner and formed. A tablet. The first hinge member 31 is formed on the upper surface of the first body 10, and the second hinge member 32 is formed on the lower surface of the second body 20 corresponding to the position of the first body 10.

圖6與圖8也說明具有一個主軸33的第二鉸鏈構件32,而主軸33則配置成垂直於第一鉸鏈構件31與第二鉸鏈構件32。該主軸33也支撐著第一鉸鏈構件31,使得第一鉸鏈構件31可以相對於第二鉸鏈構件32水平地旋轉。此外,如圖7與圖8所示,第一鉸鏈構件31與第二鉸鏈構件32及主軸33具有一個於其中的孔洞,而一個連接器可以從孔洞穿過用以將第一主體10與第二主體20電氣地相連接。6 and 8 also illustrate a second hinge member 32 having a main shaft 33, which is configured to be perpendicular to the first hinge member 31 and the second hinge member 32. The main shaft 33 also supports the first hinge member 31 such that the first hinge member 31 can be horizontally rotated with respect to the second hinge member 32. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the first hinge member 31 and the second hinge member 32 and the main shaft 33 have one hole therein, and one connector can pass through the hole for the first body 10 and the first body. The two bodies 20 are electrically connected.

此外,一個彈力機構係被設在第一鉸鏈構件31與第二鉸鏈構件32之間,藉以當第一鉸鏈構件31相對於第二鉸鏈構件32旋轉時,在旋轉方向上提供彈力。更詳細地說,如圖7與圖8所示,該彈力機構包括一個被固定在第一鉸鏈構件31上的固定式凸輪40。固定式凸輪40也包括一個形成在凸輪的外周圍表面上的凸輪輪廓。Further, an elastic mechanism is provided between the first hinge member 31 and the second hinge member 32, thereby providing an elastic force in the rotational direction when the first hinge member 31 is rotated relative to the second hinge member 32. In more detail, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the elastic mechanism includes a fixed cam 40 that is fixed to the first hinge member 31. The stationary cam 40 also includes a cam profile formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cam.

彈力機構也包括凸輪50A與50B及一個安裝在該等凸輪50A與50B周圍的彈簧80。在圖4所示的實施例中,凸輪50A係可移動,而凸輪50B則不會。彈簧80對凸輪50A彈性地提供一個旋轉作用力。換言之,凸輪50A在一個徑向方向上可以繞著在第一鉸鏈構件31上的固定式凸輪40來線性地移動,使得第二主體20可以相對於第一主體10被旋轉。更詳細地說,固定式凸輪40的凸輪輪廓係從第二主體20的一個關閉位置,以順時鐘方向90°的角度而形成,使得在第二主體20被旋轉90°之後,該第二主體20可以於其關閉位置及其開啟位置處停止。The spring mechanism also includes cams 50A and 50B and a spring 80 mounted around the cams 50A and 50B. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, cam 50A is movable and cam 50B is not. The spring 80 elastically provides a rotational force to the cam 50A. In other words, the cam 50A can linearly move around the fixed cam 40 on the first hinge member 31 in one radial direction, so that the second body 20 can be rotated relative to the first body 10. In more detail, the cam profile of the fixed cam 40 is formed from a closed position of the second body 20 at an angle of 90° in the clockwise direction such that after the second body 20 is rotated by 90°, the second body 20 can be stopped at its closed position and its open position.

此外,如圖8所示,固定式凸輪40包括在其外周表面上的一個第一彎曲部分41與一個第二彎曲部分42。第一彎曲部分41被彎曲,以在其關閉位置處止動第二主體20,而該第二彎曲部分42則被形成在其開啟位置處止動第二主體20。換言之,固定式凸輪40的第一彎曲部分41及第二彎曲部分42係與移動式凸輪50A相互作用,以在其開啟與關閉位置兩者處止動二主體20。此外,在上述的說明之中,僅第一凸輪50A是可移動的。然而,如果固定式凸輪40的凸輪輪廓在該主軸上成雙對稱定心的情況,則移動式凸輪50B也能夠被安裝成在徑向方向上移動。Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the fixed cam 40 includes a first curved portion 41 and a second curved portion 42 on its outer peripheral surface. The first curved portion 41 is bent to stop the second body 20 at its closed position, and the second curved portion 42 is formed to stop the second body 20 at its open position. In other words, the first curved portion 41 and the second curved portion 42 of the fixed cam 40 interact with the movable cam 50A to stop the two bodies 20 at both their open and closed positions. Further, among the above descriptions, only the first cam 50A is movable. However, if the cam profile of the stationary cam 40 is double symmetrically centered on the spindle, the movable cam 50B can also be mounted to move in the radial direction.

此外,如圖7與圖8所示,第一移動式凸輪50A包括:一個凸出的止動凸出件51與一個滾動輪52,該止動凸出件51與該固定式凸輪40的凸輪輪廓相接觸,而該滾動輪52則被設在止動凸出件51處。因此,移動式凸輪50沿著固定式凸輪40的凸輪輪廓之上方部分移動,使得第二主體20可以相對於第一主體10旋轉90°。再者,滾動輪52係降低第一移動式凸輪50A的摩擦力,且從而使第二主體20可以平順地旋轉。Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first movable cam 50A includes: a convex stopper projection 51 and a scroll wheel 52, and the stopper projection 51 and the cam of the fixed cam 40 The contours are in contact, and the scroll wheel 52 is disposed at the stop projection 51. Therefore, the movable cam 50 is moved along the upper portion of the cam profile of the fixed cam 40 such that the second body 20 can be rotated by 90° with respect to the first body 10. Further, the rolling wheel 52 lowers the frictional force of the first movable cam 50A, and thereby the second body 20 can be smoothly rotated.

圖6與圖8也說明鉸鏈模組30,其包括形成在第二鉸鏈構件32與第一移動式凸輪50A之間的一個導引部件70。導引部件70被構型成,容許第一移動式凸輪50A被線性地移動朝向主軸33(或是固定式凸輪40)及遠離主軸33(或是固定式凸輪40)。更詳細地說,導引部件70係包括一個形成在第二鉸鏈構件32中的狹縫式溝槽72與一個形成在第一移動式凸輪50A上的導引凸出件71。因此,導引凸出件71係在導引溝槽72之內滑動。此外,導引部件70較佳地被配置在第一移動式凸輪50A的兩端處,用以防止當凸輪50A被移動時所造成的搖動。6 and 8 also illustrate a hinge module 30 that includes a guide member 70 formed between the second hinge member 32 and the first movable cam 50A. The guide member 70 is configured to allow the first movable cam 50A to be linearly moved toward the main shaft 33 (or the stationary cam 40) and away from the main shaft 33 (or the stationary cam 40). In more detail, the guiding member 70 includes a slit groove 72 formed in the second hinge member 32 and a guiding projection 71 formed on the first movable cam 50A. Therefore, the guide projection 71 slides within the guide groove 72. Further, the guiding members 70 are preferably disposed at both ends of the first movable cam 50A to prevent shaking caused when the cam 50A is moved.

再者,彈簧80被形成來環繞第一與第二凸輪50A與50B,所以能夠很容易地組裝彈簧80。然而,因為彈簧80僅需要提供一個彈力來將第一與第二凸輪50A與50B朝彼此拉動,所以彈簧80也能夠形成為連接第一與第二凸輪50A與50B的兩端,使得凸輪50A與50B被一起拉動。Further, the spring 80 is formed to surround the first and second cams 50A and 50B, so that the spring 80 can be easily assembled. However, since the spring 80 only needs to provide an elastic force to pull the first and second cams 50A and 50B toward each other, the spring 80 can also be formed to connect both ends of the first and second cams 50A and 50B such that the cam 50A and 50B is pulled together.

此外,圖6到圖8進一步說明鉸鏈模組30,其包括一個止動部件60,該止動部件60被設在第二鉸鏈構件32與固定式凸輪40之間,以容許第一鉸鏈構件31可以被止動在一個相對於第二鉸鏈構件32的精確止動位置處。如圖所示,止動部件60包括一個弧形導引溝槽62與一個止動凸出件61,該弧形導引溝槽62係在該二鉸鏈構件32上,而該止動凸出件61係從固定式凸輪40處凸起。導引溝槽66的長度係對應於第二主體20的可旋轉角度。Furthermore, FIGS. 6 through 8 further illustrate a hinge module 30 that includes a stop member 60 that is disposed between the second hinge member 32 and the stationary cam 40 to permit the first hinge member 31. It can be stopped at a precise stop position relative to the second hinge member 32. As shown, the stop member 60 includes an arcuate guide groove 62 and a stop projection 61 that is attached to the two hinge members 32, and the stop projection The member 61 is raised from the fixed cam 40. The length of the guiding groove 66 corresponds to the rotatable angle of the second body 20.

現在參照圖9到圖11描述鉸鏈模組30的操作。更詳細地說,圖9圖示說明其中第二主體20係相對於第一主體10被關閉的一種狀態。如圖所示,第一移動式凸輪50A的止動凸出件51與滾動輪52係被止動在固定式凸輪40的第一彎曲部分41處。如圖10所示,當第二主體20被稍微地順時鐘旋轉時,固定式凸輪40係以反方向被旋轉,而第一移動式凸輪50A係朝遠離第二凸輪50B的方向移動。The operation of the hinge module 30 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 9 through 11. In more detail, FIG. 9 illustrates a state in which the second body 20 is closed relative to the first body 10. As shown, the stop projection 51 of the first movable cam 50A and the rolling wheel 52 are stopped at the first curved portion 41 of the fixed cam 40. As shown in FIG. 10, when the second body 20 is slightly rotated clockwise, the fixed cam 40 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the first movable cam 50A is moved in the direction away from the second cam 50B.

此外,當固定式凸輪40正被旋轉時,止動凸出件51與滾動輪52通過一個存在於第一彎曲部分41與第二彎曲部分42之間的死點。在此時,該第一凸輪50A藉由該彈簧80的彈力而移動得更靠近第二凸輪50B。因此,第二主體20係在其剛開始轉動的方向自動地旋轉。再者,如圖11所示,當止動凸出件51與滾動輪52到達第二彎曲部分42時,第二主體20係停止旋轉。Further, when the fixed cam 40 is being rotated, the stopper projection 51 and the scroll wheel 52 pass through a dead point existing between the first curved portion 41 and the second curved portion 42. At this time, the first cam 50A is moved closer to the second cam 50B by the elastic force of the spring 80. Therefore, the second body 20 automatically rotates in the direction in which it just started to rotate. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the stopper projection 51 and the rolling wheel 52 reach the second curved portion 42, the second body 20 stops rotating.

接下來參照圖12,該圖12為說明依據本發明第二實例之行動終端裝置100之開啟狀態的平面視圖。如圖所示,行動終端裝置100包括一個第一主體110、一個第二主體120與一個鉸鏈模組130。鉸鏈模組130被配置在鉸鏈模組130與第二主體120之間的右上角之中,且被構型成容許第二主體120相對於第一主體110旋轉90°與180°。圖12說明相對於第一主體110被旋轉180°的第二主體120。Referring next to Fig. 12, there is shown a plan view showing the open state of the mobile terminal device 100 according to the second example of the present invention. As shown, the mobile terminal device 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120 and a hinge module 130. The hinge module 130 is disposed in an upper right corner between the hinge module 130 and the second body 120 and is configured to allow the second body 120 to be rotated by 90° and 180° with respect to the first body 110. FIG. 12 illustrates the second body 120 rotated 180° relative to the first body 110.

再者,如圖12所示,行動終端裝置100包括:一個第一鍵盤111、一個第二鍵盤112與一個第三鍵盤113,第一鍵盤111係當第二主體120旋轉90°時被曝露出來,第二鍵盤112通常是曝露出來的,而第三鍵盤113係當第二主體120被旋轉180°時曝露出來。第一鍵盤111與第二鍵盤112執行與本發明第一實例的鍵盤11與12相同的角色。第三鍵盤113較佳地為包括有方向箭頭的方向鍵盤。行動終端裝置100也包括一個在第二主體120之上的顯示裝置121、數個揚聲器123與124與一個麥克風115(相似於第一實例)。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the mobile terminal device 100 includes a first keyboard 111, a second keyboard 112 and a third keyboard 113. The first keyboard 111 is exposed when the second body 120 is rotated by 90°. The second keyboard 112 is typically exposed, while the third keyboard 113 is exposed when the second body 120 is rotated 180°. The first keyboard 111 and the second keyboard 112 perform the same roles as the keyboards 11 and 12 of the first example of the present invention. The third keyboard 113 is preferably a directional keyboard including directional arrows. The mobile terminal device 100 also includes a display device 121 above the second body 120, a plurality of speakers 123 and 124, and a microphone 115 (similar to the first example).

因此,當第二主體120旋轉90°與180°時,顯示裝置121顯示水平與垂直螢幕兩者。例如,當第二主體120相似於該第一實例而旋轉90°時,顯示裝置121為水平的且第一鍵盤111係被曝露出來。因此,使用者能夠使用第一鍵盤111執行編輯操作等等,且水平地觀視顯示裝置121。因此,當第二主體120被旋轉另一個90°(也就是總共180°)時,第三鍵盤113也被曝露出來,而顯示裝置121被垂直地且稍微地偏移到第一主體110右側。因此,在這個例子之中,使用者能夠利用在第三鍵盤113之上的方向鍵來玩遊戲或執行搜尋的操作。Therefore, when the second body 120 is rotated by 90° and 180°, the display device 121 displays both the horizontal and vertical screens. For example, when the second body 120 is rotated by 90° similar to the first example, the display device 121 is horizontal and the first keyboard 111 is exposed. Therefore, the user can perform an editing operation or the like using the first keyboard 111 and view the display device 121 horizontally. Therefore, when the second body 120 is rotated by another 90° (that is, a total of 180°), the third keyboard 113 is also exposed, and the display device 121 is vertically and slightly shifted to the right side of the first body 110. Therefore, in this example, the user can use the direction keys on the third keyboard 113 to play the game or perform the search operation.

接下來,圖13係說明圖12中之行動終端裝置的鉸鏈模組130的平面圖。如圖所示,鉸鏈模組130包括一個第一移動式凸輪150A,其係被安裝成能相對於固定式凸輪(未示於圖13中)線性地移動。鉸鏈模組130也包括一個止動部件160與一個止動凸出件161,該止動部件160具有一個具有大約180°之弧形長度的導引溝槽162,而該止動凸出件161被構型成使得第二鉸鏈構件132精確地止動在一個相對於第一鉸鏈構件(未顯示)的180°之旋轉點。Next, Fig. 13 is a plan view showing the hinge module 130 of the mobile terminal device of Fig. 12. As shown, the hinge module 130 includes a first movable cam 150A that is mounted for linear movement relative to a stationary cam (not shown in Figure 13). The hinge module 130 also includes a stop member 160 and a stop projection 161 having a guide groove 162 having an arcuate length of about 180°, and the stop projection 161 It is configured such that the second hinge member 132 is accurately stopped at a 180° rotation point relative to the first hinge member (not shown).

再者,如圖14所示,一個固定式凸輪140的外表面包括一個第一彎曲部分141、一個第二彎曲部分142與一個第三彎曲部分143,第一彎曲部分141被構型成當第二主體120相對於第一主體110關閉時,俘獲住移動式凸輪150,第二彎曲部分142被構型成當第二主體120被旋轉90°時,俘獲住移動式凸輪150,而第三彎曲部分143則被構型成當該第二主體120被旋轉180°時,俘獲住移動式凸輪150。此外,相似於第一實例,鉸鏈模組130也包括一個第二凸輪150B、一個止動凸出件151、一個滾動輪152與一個彈簧180。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the outer surface of a fixed cam 140 includes a first curved portion 141, a second curved portion 142 and a third curved portion 143, and the first curved portion 141 is configured to be When the two bodies 120 are closed relative to the first body 110, the mobile cam 150 is captured, and the second curved portion 142 is configured to capture the mobile cam 150 when the second body 120 is rotated by 90°, and the third bend Portion 143 is then configured to capture mobile cam 150 when the second body 120 is rotated 180°. Further, similar to the first example, the hinge module 130 also includes a second cam 150B, a stop projection 151, a scroll wheel 152 and a spring 180.

現在將參照圖14到圖18來說明鉸鏈模組130的操作方式。如圖14所示,當第二主體120相對於第一主體110關閉時,止動凸出件151與滾動輪152被接合在固定式凸輪140的第一彎曲部分141之中。如圖15所示,當第二主體120被稍微順時鐘旋轉時,第一凸輪150A係在遠離第二凸輪150B的方向中移動。再者,如同第一實例,當固定式凸輪140正被旋轉時,止動凸出件151與滾動輪152通過一個存在於第一彎曲部分141與第二彎曲部分142之間的死點。此時,第一凸輪150A藉由彈簧180彈力的作用而移動更靠近第二凸輪150B。因此,第二主體120係在其一開始旋轉的方向中自動地旋轉。The mode of operation of the hinge module 130 will now be described with reference to Figures 14-18. As shown in FIG. 14, when the second body 120 is closed relative to the first body 110, the stop projection 151 and the scroll wheel 152 are engaged in the first curved portion 141 of the fixed cam 140. As shown in FIG. 15, when the second body 120 is rotated slightly clockwise, the first cam 150A moves in a direction away from the second cam 150B. Further, as in the first example, when the fixed cam 140 is being rotated, the stopper projection 151 and the scroll wheel 152 pass through a dead point existing between the first curved portion 141 and the second curved portion 142. At this time, the first cam 150A is moved closer to the second cam 150B by the elastic force of the spring 180. Therefore, the second body 120 automatically rotates in the direction in which it starts to rotate.

圖16說明止動凸出件151與滾動輪152接合第二彎曲部分142,使得第二主體120停止旋轉。此外,如圖17所示,當第二主體120被進一步稍微順時鐘旋轉時,止動凸出件151與滾動輪152通過存在於第二彎曲部分142與第三彎曲部分143之間的死點。Figure 16 illustrates that the stop projection 151 engages the scroll wheel 152 with the second curved portion 142 such that the second body 120 stops rotating. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, when the second body 120 is further rotated slightly clockwise, the stopper projection 151 and the scroll wheel 152 pass through a dead point existing between the second curved portion 142 and the third curved portion 143. .

此時,第一凸輪150A藉由該彈簧180彈力的功效而在更靠近第二凸輪150B的方向中移動。因此,第二主體120係在其一開始旋轉的方向中自動地旋轉。再者,如圖18所示,止動凸出件151與滾動輪152接著接合第三彎曲部分143,使得第二主體120停止旋轉。At this time, the first cam 150A moves in a direction closer to the second cam 150B by the effect of the elastic force of the spring 180. Therefore, the second body 120 automatically rotates in the direction in which it starts to rotate. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the stopper projection 151 and the rolling wheel 152 then engage the third curved portion 143 such that the second body 120 stops rotating.

現在參照圖19,圖19係說明依據本發明第三實例的行動終端裝置200之平面圖。如圖所示,當第二主體220相對於第一主體210逆時鐘旋轉90°時,行動終端裝置係處於開啟狀態。在此狀態中,顯示裝置221係水平的螢幕,所以能夠水平地顯示影像而不會上下顛倒。至於在其它實例中,行動終端裝置200也包括數個揚聲器223與224、第一主體210、數個鍵盤211與221、麥克風215與鉸鏈模組230。再者,在鉸鏈模組230中之固定式凸輪的凸輪輪廓係在雙向上形成,使得第二主體220能夠被逆時鐘旋轉而開啟,並且接著順時鐘旋轉而關閉。Referring now to Figure 19, there is shown a plan view of a mobile terminal device 200 in accordance with a third example of the present invention. As shown, when the second body 220 is rotated counterclockwise by 90 relative to the first body 210, the mobile terminal device is in an open state. In this state, the display device 221 is a horizontal screen, so that the image can be displayed horizontally without being turned upside down. In other examples, the mobile terminal device 200 also includes a plurality of speakers 223 and 224, a first body 210, a plurality of keyboards 211 and 221, a microphone 215, and a hinge module 230. Furthermore, the cam profile of the stationary cam in the hinge module 230 is formed in two directions such that the second body 220 can be turned on by counterclockwise rotation and then turned clockwise to close.

接下來,圖20係依據本發明實例之行動終端裝置的控制方塊圖。如圖20所示,行動終端裝置包括一個控制器85,其用於依據一旋轉方向改變的終端裝置的模式及/或改變第二主體的角度。也包括的是至少一個感測器86,其用於感測第二主體的旋轉方向與角度,並且將對應的訊號傳輸到控制器85。感測器86被定位成能夠偵測第二主體的旋轉方向與角度。例如,感測器86可以被設在第一主體與第二主體之間。Next, Fig. 20 is a control block diagram of a mobile terminal device according to an example of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 20, the mobile terminal device includes a controller 85 for changing the mode of the terminal device according to a direction of rotation and/or changing the angle of the second body. Also included is at least one sensor 86 for sensing the direction and angle of rotation of the second body and transmitting corresponding signals to the controller 85. The sensor 86 is positioned to detect the direction and angle of rotation of the second body. For example, the sensor 86 can be disposed between the first body and the second body.

此外,感測器86較佳為一種霍爾效應型開關,其能夠感測在第一主體與第二主體其中一個上的磁鐵(未顯示)。因此,當感測器86感測到第二主體的旋轉方向及/或角度時,感測器86係傳輸對應的訊號到控制器85,且控制器85係改變行動終端裝置的對應螢幕模式。例如,控制器85可以將顯示在顯示裝置87上的影像從水平螢幕改變成垂直螢幕或垂直顛倒的影像。本發明上述的任何實例能夠實施圖20所描述的行動終端裝置。Further, the sensor 86 is preferably a Hall effect type switch capable of sensing a magnet (not shown) on one of the first body and the second body. Therefore, when the sensor 86 senses the direction and/or angle of rotation of the second body, the sensor 86 transmits a corresponding signal to the controller 85, and the controller 85 changes the corresponding screen mode of the mobile terminal device. For example, the controller 85 can change the image displayed on the display device 87 from a horizontal screen to a vertical screen or a vertically inverted image. Any of the above-described examples of the present invention can implement the mobile terminal device described in FIG.

接著參照圖21,圖21係說明一種用於改變依據本發明實例之行動終端裝置的螢幕模式之方法的流程圖。也將在此說明中提到圖20。如圖21所示,當第二主體被關閉覆蓋在第一主體上時,行動終端裝置是處於待機模式(S10)。接著,控制器85決定第二主體是否已經被旋轉(S12)。如果第二主體已經被旋轉(在S12中為『是』),感測器86係感測第二主體的旋轉方向與旋轉角度(S14)。Referring next to Fig. 21, there is shown a flow chart of a method for changing the screen mode of a mobile terminal device according to an example of the present invention. Figure 20 will also be mentioned in this description. As shown in FIG. 21, when the second body is closed over the first body, the mobile terminal device is in the standby mode (S10). Next, the controller 85 determines whether the second body has been rotated (S12). If the second body has been rotated (YES in S12), the sensor 86 senses the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the second body (S14).

控制器85接著決定旋轉角度是否為順時鐘旋轉90°(S16)。例如,圖2說明第二主體20朝順時鐘方向被旋轉90°。如果旋轉角度係朝順時鐘方向旋轉90°(在S16中為『是』),則控制器85將終端裝置的模式改變成TV接收模式(S18)。如果旋轉角度並非朝順時鐘方向旋轉90°(在S16中為『否』),則控制器85決定旋轉角度是否逆時鐘旋轉90°(S20)。如果旋轉角度係朝逆時鐘方向旋轉90°(在S20中為『是』),則控制器85將終端裝置的模式改變成遊戲模式(S22)。如果旋轉角度並非朝逆時鐘方向旋轉90°(在S20中為『否』),則控制器85決定旋轉角度是否為180°(S24)。如果旋轉角度為90°(在S24中為『是』),方法則回復到步驟S10。否則(在S24中為『否』),方法則回復到步驟S14。The controller 85 then determines whether the rotation angle is 90° rotated clockwise (S16). For example, FIG. 2 illustrates that the second body 20 is rotated by 90° in the clockwise direction. If the rotation angle is rotated by 90° in the clockwise direction (YES in S16), the controller 85 changes the mode of the terminal device to the TV reception mode (S18). If the rotation angle is not rotated by 90° in the clockwise direction (NO in S16), the controller 85 determines whether the rotation angle is rotated by 90° counterclockwise (S20). If the rotation angle is rotated by 90° in the counterclockwise direction (YES in S20), the controller 85 changes the mode of the terminal device to the game mode (S22). If the rotation angle is not rotated by 90° in the counterclockwise direction (NO in S20), the controller 85 determines whether the rotation angle is 180 (S24). If the rotation angle is 90 ("YES" in S24), the method returns to step S10. Otherwise (NO in S24), the method returns to step S14.

此外,終端裝置藉由控制器85所被自動改變到的特定模式是能夠事先儲存的,而不需要額外由使用者操作的按鍵。因此,藉著在有需要時改變儲存於記憶體中的特定模式,使用者能夠依據第二主體的旋轉,將終端裝置自動地改變成各種需要的模式。此外,特定模式能夠是待機模式、通話模式與文字傳輸模式等等的至少其中一種。Further, the specific mode to which the terminal device is automatically changed by the controller 85 can be stored in advance without requiring an additional button operated by the user. Therefore, by changing the specific mode stored in the memory when necessary, the user can automatically change the terminal device to various desired modes in accordance with the rotation of the second body. Further, the specific mode can be at least one of a standby mode, a call mode, a text transmission mode, and the like.

至於目前所描述的,依據本發明實例的行動終端裝置與模式改變方法具有數種優點。例如,當第二主體被開啟時被曝露出來的一部分第一主體係被擴大,這是因為鉸鏈模組被配置成相對於第一主體與第二主體間的左側與右側的其中一側偏位。因此,可以將較大的鍵盤被安裝在第一主體所曝露出來的部分之中。從而,可以更好地利用行動終端裝置。此外,因為顯示在顯示裝置上的影像的方向係藉由旋轉第二主體而自動地改變,而能夠提供給使用者最佳的螢幕來欣賞影片或觀看電視節目。As described so far, the mobile terminal device and mode changing method according to an example of the present invention have several advantages. For example, a portion of the first primary system that is exposed when the second body is opened is enlarged because the hinge module is configured to be offset from one of the left and right sides between the first body and the second body. . Therefore, a larger keyboard can be installed in the portion exposed by the first body. Thereby, the mobile terminal device can be better utilized. In addition, since the direction of the image displayed on the display device is automatically changed by rotating the second body, it is possible to provide the user with the best screen to enjoy the movie or watch the television program.

因為本發明可以用數種形式來實施,而不會偏離其精神或必要特徵,也應該瞭解的是除非以其它方式限定,上述實例並非由前述說明的任何細節所界定,而是應該在如申請專利範圍所界定的精神與範疇之內寬廣地解釋,且因此,落入申請專利範圍或其均等的邊界與界限之所有改變與修改係因此是要由申請專利範圍所含括。Since the present invention may be embodied in a number of forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should be understood that the above examples are not limited by the details of the foregoing description, but should The spirit and scope of the patents are to be interpreted broadly within the scope of the invention, and therefore, all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the claims or their equivalents are therefore intended to be included.
