Description of the invention (8) Thanks to the typical style in the art, which is placed between the wood near your ears and the mouth, the reflection distance is based on adult technology, and users can typically use the & quot VIII 1 2 4 direct. By setting the predetermined distance to match the in-ear distance, the lower cover element 1 4 2 will respond to the intended team's sound. In a specific embodiment, the anthropometric data of the predetermined ear-to-mouth separation distance "however, since the lower cover element is only a passive element reflecting the sound of La alpha eight, so the The separation is not important. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the special distance separation between the formation team 1 2 4 and the lower cover element 4 42. It can be clearly seen in Fig. 2β that the display 120 series includes a display section 120a, in which the system 100 can display time and date. When an incoming call is detected by the receiver 1 1 2 (refer to Figure 丨), the telephone number of the calling party, Ma 3, is not displayed in place of the time and date display 丨 2 〇. As previously discussed, the 'side display portion 1 2 0 a is a fixed position, so when the cover member 1 4 0 is in the closed position, it can be directly below the transparent portion 1 4 8. Note that the display of time and date is only a convenient option, and it does not need to be displayed on the display part 1 2 0 a. In a specific embodiment, the user presses the actuation button 5 2 and manually places the upper cover element 140 and the lower cover element 14 2 in their opposite open positions. However, in a preferred embodiment, the system 100 includes an automatic opening offset system 1 5 8 described in FIG. 3, so that when the user presses the actuation button 1 52, the The upper cover member 140 and the lower cover member 142 are placed in their oppositely opened positions.

The system 100 may also use control elements other than the sprocket 164 and the hinge sprocket 166. For example, a counter spring or other braking i · element can also be used to smoothly move the lower cover element 4 2. The system 100 includes elements similar to the automatic shift of the cover element 14 to the open position. The cover element 1 40 can be coupled to the offset system 5 8 or includes an offset system (not shown in the figure). Its function is similar to pushing the upper element to the open position. ^ Other Known techniques can be used to provide smooth operation of the upper cover element 140 and the lower cover element 142.

463487 五、發明說明(11) 1 4 2的順序是不相關的。即是,下蓋元件1 4 2可在上蓋元件 1 4 0蓋上之前關閉,反之亦然。 該系統1 0 0的進一步改良是透明部分1 4 8,其允許使用者 檢視呼叫對方電話號碼,而不必打開上蓋元件1 4 0。此有 助於允許使用者決定是否回答呼叫,而不必按下致動按鈕 1 5 2。當蓋子打開的時候,某些傳統的無線通訊裝置便可 自動回答一送來的呼叫。既然使用者不知道誰在呼叫,此 操作便不想要,直到打開蓋子元件及回答呼叫為止。然 而,當上蓋元件仍關閉的時候,該系統1 0 0的透明部分1 4 8 便允許使用者檢視呼叫電話號碼。使用者能檢視電話號 碼,並決定是否要按下致動按鈕152。因此,當上及下蓋 :元件1 4 0和1 4 2移到開啟位置而沒有傳統無線通訊裝置缺點 :的時候,該系統1 0 0便可自動回答電話。如一選擇性特 徵,當系統1 0 0未接收一送來呼叫的時候,該顯示部分 1 2 0 A (參考圖2 B )便可顯示時間與日期。因此,該系統1 0 0 可提供目前未在無線通訊裝置使用的特徵與優點。 應了解的是,即使本發明的各種不同具體實施例與優點 已在先前的描述發表,上面的揭露只是說明,而且可進一 步變化,而不會違背本發明的範圍。例如,該系統1 0 0不 需要包括自動打開偏移系統1 5 8。然而,該偏移系統1 5 8可 包括及接受使用眾所週知技術的許多不同形式。因此,本 發明只局限在附錄的申請專利範圍。其申請專利範圍如下 所示:463487 V. Description of invention (11) The order of 1 4 2 is irrelevant. That is, the lower cover member 14 can be closed before the upper cover member 140 is closed, and vice versa. A further improvement of the system 100 is the transparent part 148, which allows the user to view the telephone number of the calling party without having to open the upper cover element 140. This helps to allow the user to decide whether to answer the call without having to press the actuation button 1 5 2. When the lid is opened, some conventional wireless communication devices can automatically answer an incoming call. Since the user does not know who is calling, this operation is not desired until the lid element is opened and the call is answered. However, when the cover element is still closed, the transparent part 1 48 of the system 100 allows the user to view the calling telephone number. The user can view the phone number and decide whether to press the actuation button 152. Therefore, when the upper and lower covers: the components 140 and 142 are moved to the open position without the disadvantages of the traditional wireless communication device, the system 100 can automatically answer the call. As an optional feature, when the system 100 does not receive a call, the display section 12 A (refer to Figure 2B) can display the time and date. Therefore, the system 100 can provide features and advantages not currently used in wireless communication devices. It should be understood that even though various specific embodiments and advantages of the present invention have been published in the previous description, the above disclosure is only illustrative and may be further changed without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the system 1 0 0 does not need to include an automatic opening offset system 1 5 8. However, the offset system 158 can include and accept many different forms using well-known techniques. Therefore, the present invention is limited to the patent application scope of the appendix. The scope of its patent application is as follows:
