Abstract
Description
図1は本発明の一実施例による携帯装置の筐体構成を模式的に示す平面図である。本実施例による携帯装置は、ほぼ矩形状の第1筐体101と第2筐体102とがヒンジ部103により連結された構成を有する。本実施例では、第1筐体101にはキー等の操作部(図示せず。)が設けられているので、以下、「操作部側筐体101」という。第2筐体102には液晶ディスプレイ(LCD)等の表示部(図示せず。)が設けられているので、以下、「表示部側筐体102」という。ただし、これに限定されるものではなく、第1筐体の上に第2筐体が回転可能に重なっているので、第1筐体101を下筐体、第2筐体102を上筐体と記すこともできる。
図2は本発明の一実施例による携帯装置の状態変化を模式的に示す図である。表示部側筐体102が操作部側筐体101に対して状態1(閉状態)である時には、操作部型筐体101の磁石M1は、表示部側筐体102の磁気センサH1と重なっており、他方の磁石M2と磁気センサH2とは離間している。したがって、磁気センサH1は磁気を検出し、磁気センサH2は磁気を検出しない。
上述したように、本実施例によれば、2つの磁石M1およびM2と2つの磁気センサH1およびH2とが、操作部側筐体101と表示部側筐体102との相対的な姿勢ごとに重なる組み合わせが異なるように配置される。これにより、操作部側筐体101に対して表示部側筐体102を順次変化させたときの閉状態、横長画面の第1開状態および縦長画面の第2開状態の3つの所定姿勢と、それらの間の中間状態とを検出することができる。このように、本実施例によれば、磁気センサ2個および磁石2個とセンサ出力により姿勢判定する回路という最小の構成で筐体姿勢の全ての状態を検出することが可能となる。
次に、本実施例による携帯装置のヒンジ部103の構成および動作の一例を説明する。ただし、本発明はこのヒンジ機構に限定されるものではなく、上述した状態1~状態5の間で筐体の姿勢を変化させることができるヒンジ構造であればよい。
