Electronic devices such as smartphones () or tablet computers are provided with an illuminated integrated speaker port insert and button () which allows audio energy to pass out of the speaker port (), serves as control button for a function such as volume control or power, and is provided with single or multi-color illumination () so as to serve as a visual information indicator. The button () can serve in place of side mounted button while not requiring additional allocation of area on the devices front surface beyond what would be allocated for a speaker port and therefore not reduce the area available for a display screen (). The button may be more readily located by touch due to its location and by sight due to the provision of illumination and owing to its use as a speaker port insert the purpose of the button may be intuitively grasped and later recalled by the user.

Communication device

An electronic device () includes a device housing (), a circuit assembly () carried by the device housing (), an electronic component () carried by the device housing (), and a shield () carried by the device housing (). The shield () is adapted to impede electromagnetic emissions, and the shield () operatively electrically couples the circuit assembly () to the electronic component ().

Electronic devices and electronic circuits and methods for manufacturing the same

An improved multi-purpose kickstand assemblyhas a modular kickstand mechanismto securely support an electronic communications devicein a landscape mode and/or portrait mode. One or more sensors in the electronic communications device can detect the position of a kickstand-magnetsecured to the kickstandto electronically determine the position of the kickstand. The kickstand can serve as a channelfor a speaker portand/or speakerand can enhance antennae performance for improved audio quality.

Modular kickstand mechanism

A handheld communication device () is provided. The handheld communication device () includes a first housing () having a circuit board portion () and a display portion () extending from a first end of the circuit board portion along a () predominant plane () of the first housing (), a second housing () including a battery () and a keypad () where the battery () and keypad () are coextensive along a length and width of a predominant plane () of the second housing (), a hinge assembly () that couples a midpoint of the circuit board portion () to an end () of the second housing () where the hinge assembly () defines a pivot axis that is mutually parallel to the predominant planes of the both the first and second housings () and a user connector () located on a second end () of the circuit board portion () opposite the display portion () where an axis of insertion of the user connector is parallel to the predominant plane of the first housing () and wherein a total thickness of the display portion () and second housing () is substantially equal to a thickness of the circuit board portion ().

Clamshell phone with edge access

A multiband comformed-slotted-folded dipole antenna () having a unitary conformed shape conductor conforming to an internal communication device configuration (). The antenna can include a folded dipole () forming a part of the unitary conformed shape and having a first portion (or) forming at least one slot in a slotted plane () and a second portion (or) forming at least one slot in a second plane () substantially perpendicular to the slotted plane. The at least one slot in the second plane controls high band antenna resonance and a length () of a metal portion in the slotted plane controls lower band resonance. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Multiband conformed folded dipole antenna

The embodiments of the invention concern a keypad (). The keypad can include a membrane (), at least one key with at least one flangeto overlap with at least one second flange of a second key (), and at least one audio port opening () in the membrane for providing a passage of air from a transducer () positioned behind at least one key through the keypad to a main volume area (). For example, the audio port opening can be in a region of the membrane between the keys, and the overlapping of the flanges obscures a view of at least one audio port opening.

A multi-function key system for use with an electronic device can include at least one key () and an optical film () optically coupled to the key. The optical film () can include a first optical filter () corresponding to a first color of light and a second optical filter () corresponding to a second color of light. The multi-function key system further can include a first light source (), disposed below the key, that emits the first color of light and a second light source (), disposed below the key, that emits the second color of light. A controller () can selectively activate the first light source () or second light source () responsive to an event detected within the electronic device.
