A laptop computer with a detachable touchpad module includes a housing, a locking hook, and a touchpad module. The housing has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first surface is an external surface of the housing, and the second surface is an internal surface of the housing. The locking hook is freely pivoted to the housing and located at the second surface. The touchpad module has a locking hole. When the touchpad module is assembled to the first surface, the locking hole penetrates the housing and is protruded out of the second surface, and the locking hook is locked with the locking hole.

An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.

Electronic device

A portable electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge mechanism, a spring, and a cable extending from the first body to the second body. The second body is connected to the first body through the hinge mechanism. The first body has a first pillar, a second pillar, and a third pillar. The second pillar is located between the first pillar and the third pillar. The spring is disposed in the first body as corresponding to the second pillar. The cable includes a first winding segment extending through a gap between the first pillar and the second pillar, a second winding segment extending through a gap between the second pillar and the spring, and a third winding segment extending through a gap between the second pillar and the third pillar. Two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the first body and the second winding segment.

Portable electronic device

A hinge module and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first body and a second body that the hinge module is connected therebetween, and the first and the second bodies are rotated to be folded or unfolded through the hinge module. The hinge module includes a guiding member, a first rail, a rotating shaft, and a linking member. The rotating shaft disposed at the first body in a rotatable and penetrating manner. The linking member is linked between the rotating shaft and the guiding member. The first and the second bodies are rotated relatively to each other via the guiding member and the first rail, and the guiding member drives the linking member to rotate the rotating shaft.

The present disclosure provides an electronic device that includes a display device. A first panoramic image capturing device is movably configured on the display surface of the display device. A second panoramic image capturing device is movably configured on a back panel relative to the display surface. A drive unit is configured to push the first panoramic image capturing device out of the electronic device along a first direction perpendicular to the display surface and push the second panoramic image capturing device out of the electronic device along a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, when receiving a first signal. The drive unit is configured to pull the first panoramic image capturing device back to the electronic device along the second direction and pull the second panoramic image capturing device back to the electronic device along the first direction when receiving a second signal.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

An electronic device including a display, a host, a hinge, a panoramic camera, a linkage assembly and a torsion spring is provided. The display has a plane facing the host. The hinge is connected between the display and the host. The panoramic camera is disposed in an accommodating space on an upper side of the display and is rotatable relative to the display. The linkage assembly is disposed in the display and driven by the hinge to limit the panoramic camera, such that the panoramic camera is kept in a state of being protruded from the plane of the display, and the torsion spring is disposed on a lower portion of the panoramic camera, wherein when the display is closed relative to the host, the hinge drives the linkage assembly to release the limitation on the panoramic camera, and the torsion spring enables the panoramic camera to be restored to the original position.

A laptop computer includes a host, a hinge mechanism, and a display. The host includes a housing having a bottom surface, a raising mechanism disposed in the housing, and a pad connected to the raising mechanism, and adjacent to the bottom surface. The hinge mechanism is connected to the host and includes a first shaft connected to the raising mechanism. The display is affixed to the rotation element. When the display is rotated about the host, the first shaft drives the raising mechanism to change the distance between the top of the pad and the bottom surface.

Laptop computer

A laptop computer includes a host, a hinge mechanism, and a display. The host includes a housing and a base disposed in the housing and having a curved groove. The hinge mechanism is connected to the host and includes a rotation element. The rotation element includes a curved portion located in the curved groove. The display is affixed to the rotation element.

A laptop computer includes a host, a hinge mechanism, and a display. The host includes a housing, a pivoting base, and a protection cover that pivots on the pivoting base. The hinge mechanism is connected to the host, and includes a first shaft disposed in the housing, and a connection element connected to the first shaft. The display is connected to the hinge mechanism. When the display is rotated about the host, the connection element is rotated following the first shaft and makes the protection cover rotating relative to the housing.

An electric connector suited for an electronic device is provided. The electric connector includes a body, a plurality of terminals, and an electrical connecting member. The body is suited to be disposed in the electronic device and has at least one receiving area located on at least one of a top portion and a bottom portion of an exterior of the body. The terminals are disposed in the body, and an external electric connector is suited to be butted to the body along a first axis to be electrically connected to the terminals. One end of the electrical connecting member is located at the receiving area to be electrically connected to the terminals, and another end of the electrical connecting member extends out of the receiving area along a second axis to be electrically connected to the electronic device. The first axis is different from the second axis.

Electric connector for electronic device

A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a cam, and a linking rod is provided. The first body has a reaming hole. The second body has a rotating shaft movably coupled to the reaming hole in pivoting and penetrating manner. The cam is assembled to a side surface of the rotating shaft to rotate along with the rotating shaft. The linking rod has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is pivoted to the cam, and the second end is pivoted to the first body. When the second body is pivoted relative to the first body via the rotating shaft, the cam rotates along with the rotating shaft and the linking rod drives the cam and the rotating shaft to move along the reaming hole so as to move the second body towards or away from the first body.
