A method includes detecting an image presented on a display area of a device; detecting a pointing device input on a touch sensitive area of a device; determining that the input includes at least one point of contact on the touch sensitive area; and activating a zoom functionality of the device.

Enhanced zooming functionality

An apparatus () for an electronic device, the apparatus comprising a first housing () having a first face () and a second housing () having a first face (), the apparatus comprising a hinge () arranged towards the edge of the first faces to allow the first faces to be folded towards and away from one another between respective closed and open configurations of the apparatus, the apparatus comprising a biasing mechanism () arranged to bias the apparatus between the open and closed configurations, the biasing mechanism comprised with the first and/or second housings and not with the hinge.

Hinge apparatus for a foldable electronic device

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention there is provided an apparatus comprising a first assembly and a second assembly, said first assembly being connected to said second assembly by and extendable mechanism, said extendable mechanism being configured to extend an input area when the first assembly is moved with respect to the second assembly from a first position to a second position.

Extendable mechanism

An apparatus with a central housing, a top housing slidably movable relative to the central housing and a bottom housing slidably movable relative to the central housing is provided. The central housing is provided with an area for user input. A first portion of the area for user input is concealed by the top housing when it is in its retracted position and a second portion of the area for user input is concealed by the bottom housing when it is in its retracted position. The first portion of the area for user input is unconcealed when the top housing is in its extended position and the second portion of the area for user input is unconcealed when the bottom housing is in its extended position. The top housing and the optimum housing move in unison between their retracted and extended positions.

Apparatus with sliding housing parts

A keypad arrangement and keypad arrangement of a handheld device implements a 12-key keypad to optimize space utilization on a handheld device. The display area on a user viewable side may occupy 25% or more of the available user side surface of the handheld device. The keypad is arranged as a three row by four column matrix. The number sign special function key may remain adjacent to the number 9 key of a standard keypad to facilitate effective changeover for the user when switching from a standard keypad.

Four column keypad

A digital camera module is conveniently packaged within an electronic device for sliding motion between a stored position and an operational position. The camera module is nested within the electronic device in the closed position to provide a streamlined external contour.

Digital camera module for mobile communication device

The invention relates to a mobile communications device comprising a housing, a transceiver in the housing, a keypad connected to the housing, and a display connected to the housing, wherein the housing comprises a first section movably connected to a second section of the housing by a multi-axis hinge, wherein a first axis of rotation of the hinge is provided at the first section of the housing and a second offset axis of rotation of the hinge is provided at the second section of the housing, and wherein the hinge comprises means for synchronizing rotation of the first and second sections relative to the hinge through a path of about 360 degrees. The invention further relates to a hinge for use therein.
