Abstract
A deformable electronic device includes a flexible display supported by a deformable housing comprising a plurality of linkage members and one or more magnet magnetometer pairs. Each magnet magnetometer pair includes a magnetometer situated in a linkage member of the plurality of linkage members and at least one corresponding magnet situated in another linkage member of the plurality of linkage members that is adjacent to the linkage member among the plurality of linkage members. One or more processors operable with one or more magnetometers of the one or more magnet magnetometer pairs are configured to identify a deformed shape of the deformable electronic device from signals received from the one or more magnetometers.
