Samsung
Detailed patent describes multiple uses for
innovative smartphone
The patent describes a phone with two
interconnected screens on a foldable device. One
screen is one the front of the device while the
other is on the back. When the device is
unfolded, the two screens lie next to each other.
Samsung’s design resembles something like a
Nintendo 3DS with its hinge on back to front.
According to the patent, the two screens could be
used to display independent apps or work
together, such while playing a game, reading
ebooks and much more.
Pictures of the device have been filed with the US
Patent Office.
The filing contains more than one hundred patent
figures. They are each broken down into distinct
categories, such as calendars, photos and much
more.
Details of the patent were first published by
Patentbolt.
The hinged smartphone has the ability to stand
freely. The function is demonstrated in one of the
pictures, where users can be seen playing a
game. In it, one screen is visible to them, while
another screen is visible to everyone else.
Other pictures show potential uses for the second
screen. One describes how one screen could be
used to display caller information while the other
would show things like a business presentation.
The device is the second innovative device
Samsung is developing that we’ve been privy to.
Last month, the company detailed in a company
meeting a device with a foldable screen that it
expects to launch in 2015. Details of the meeting
were later published online.
Microsoft
Newly unveiled patent shows off possibility of
second screen featuring on handset's rear
Microsoft could soon be set to enter the
smartphone hardware race with a number of
newly outed patent applications detailing the
company’s plans for two sided display touting
handsets.
The patent applications, filed with the United
States Patent and Trademark office, have
showcased the potential for a futuristic handset
that, as well as boasting the now standard
touchscreen display on the front, touts a back
panel that acts as an interactive and
customisable display.
With the second, rear-mounted display acting
much like an E Ink offering and requiring much
less power than its vibrant counterpart on the
front, the patent has detailed how it could be
used to offer users a wide variety of information
such as the time, message alerts and even
customisable logos.
Requiring a second, smaller processor, the rear-
mounted display technologies are unlikely to
appear on any handsets of the near future but
pose a tantalising insight into the possibilities
currently being explored by leading tech
manufacturers.
Would you like to see a dual-screened handset
hit the market?
Nokia
Could a 3DS style device be in the pipeline?
With it's first batch of Windows 7 phones being
put together as we write, it appears that Nokia
could also be set to enter the tablet market with
a device not completely dissimilar to the concept
of Nintendo's 3Ds.
A patent filed by the Finish phone giant in late
April has been unearthed showing a dual screen
device with 3D capabilities and eye level tracking
camera which, in technical terms, is a device with
"auto stereoscopic rendering and display
apparatus".
However, don't get too excited yet, as there may
be a bit of a wait on our hands before concept
becomes reality. Respected mobile phone
commentator Eldar Murtazin has written on the
Mobile Review forum that Nokia will launch a
tablet in 2012, though this could be pushed back
to 2013.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop recently confirmed that
the company was "right now assessing what's
the right tablet strategy for Nokia." With this
patent being released, it looks as if the company
has finished these assessments.
The news follows rumours across the
internet that Microsoft is putting together a
tablet focussed around the upcoming Windows 8
OS, which is thought will appear at some stage
next year.
Would you buy a dual screen 3D tablet device?
