A foldable electronic device includes a first base, a second base, a hinge, a brake, an object sensor, and a controller. The hinge pivotally connects the first base to the second base. The brake is disposed in the hinge. When the first base is expanded with respect to the second base, the object sensor senses whether an object is placed on the second base. When the object sensor senses that the object is placed on the second base, the object sensor sends out a sensed signal. The controller selectively switches on the brake in response to the sensed signal, so as to restrain a rotating angle formed by the first base and the second base.

Foldable electronic device and device protection method

A protective case for an electronic device includes a PCB and other components and devices. The other components and devices arranged on the case are connected to the PCB, the devices include a battery, a socket configured to accommodate a wireless communication device, a data connector, a wireless communication module, and a control module. The control module controls the battery to charge the electronic device and activates the wireless communication module to connect to the electronic device through the data connector, if the data connector is in use. The wireless communication module is controlled to communicate with the wireless communication device if the wireless communication device is removed from the socket and the battery is controlled to supply power to the wireless communication device if the wireless communication device is inserted into the socket.

Protective case with electronic function for electronic device

A protection case for protecting an electronic device includes a cover body shaped to receive and hold to the electronic device. A cable winding apparatus is arranged adjacent the cover body and includes a wheel rotatably arranged adjacent the cover body, and a pivot protruding from a center of the wheel and configured to wind a cable of an earphone. A through hole is arranged on a side wall of the pivot and configured to permit a first end of the earphone, which connects to a jack, to pass through.

Protection case for electronic device

A fingerprint-initiated navigating method is to be implemented using a navigating device, and includes the steps of: associating a kset of fingerprint data with corresponding destination information, where k is an integer ranging from 1 to n, and n is not less than 1; receiving a fingerprint signal conforming with the kset of fingerprint data; and showing a destination indicated by the destination information corresponding to the kset of fingerprint data.
