Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent
application No. 201510432354.8 filed on Jul. 21, 2015 and to
Chinese patent application No. 201510432395.7 filed on Jul. 21,
2015; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In the related art, one type of electronic device (e.g.,
portable computer) generally includes a real physical keyboard part
and a display part, the two parts are connected together by a fixed
rotating device and can be rotated and located relative to each
other, wherein the real physical keyboard part can be only used for
inputting operation instructions of a user, and the display part is
merely used for displaying interactive information.
[0003] In the above type of electronic device, since the real
physical keyboard part and the display part are connected together
by the fixed rotating device, they cannot be detached from each
other for separation. In addition, as the real physical keyboard
part can be only used for inputting operation instructions of the
user, and only the display part is used for displaying interactive
information, a display area is decreased, resulting in decreased
display information, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the
user when needing to display a large amount of information. In
addition, due to the real physical keyboard, the overall size of
the keyboard part and the size of each key are fixed. In this way,
corresponding adjustment is hard to make according to the operation
habits of each user. Further, the way of applying this type of
electronic device by users is unitary.
[0004] In the related art, another type of electronic device
includes a display part and a real physical keyboard part which are
detachably connected together. Although the display part and the
real physical keyboard part are separable, due to the existence of
the real physical keyboard part, the size of this type of
electronic device is larger, and thus the portability thereof is
reduced.
[0005] In the related art, there is also a type of electronic
device which only includes a display part, for example, an iPad
tablet computer proposed by the US Apple Computer Inc. in 2010, the
display part thereof is both used for displaying interactive
information and used for displaying a virtual keyboard to enable
the user to input operation instructions.
[0006] In the above type of electronic device, since the display
part thereof is both used for displaying the interactive
information and used for displaying the virtual keyboard, the
display area is decreased, resulting in decreased display
information, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the user when
needing to display a large amount of information. In addition, this
type of electronic device generally needs to be held by one hand of
the user, while the other hand is used for inputting the operation
instructions. When needing to input a large number of operation
instructions, this type of electronic device also needs an
additional supporting device, for example, a bracket, and an
additional external keyboard, for example, a real keyboard in wired
or wireless connection with the electronic device. Due to the
existence of the additional supporting device and the additional
external keyboard, the portability of this type of electronic
device is reduced.
[0007] In addition, in the related art, these display parts
generally include hard display screens, that is, unbendable display
screens. Further, no display device is arranged on the rotating
part in the related art, while only a rotating mechanism is
arranged thereon. All these cause the unitary way of applying this
type of electronic device by the user.
SUMMARY
[0008] In view of the above problems in the related art, according
to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device
is provided. The electronic device comprising: a first body; a
second body; a rotating device rotatably connecting the first body

in the case of the same size, the entire flexile display screen can
be used for displaying interactive information, so that the display
area is increased, then the area for the information to be
displayed is increased, and thus much more convenience is brought
to the user when a large amounts of information are required to be
displayed.
[0060] In addition, since the virtual keyboard is used, the overall
size of the keyboard part and the size of each key are variable,
and thus corresponding adjustment can be conveniently made
according to the operation habits of each user. Further, the way of
applying this type of electronic device by the user is varied.
[0061] Based on the above structures from the fourth aspect to the
sixth aspect of the present disclosure, the electronic device
according to the present disclosure does not need to be held by one
hand of the user, while the other hand is used for inputting
operation instructions. When a large number of input operations are
required, in some of the above modes, the electronic device
according to the present disclosure needs no additional supporting
device, for example, a bracket, and needs no additional external
physical keyboard, for example, a physical keyboard in wired or
wireless connection with the electronic device. In this way, since
the additional supporting device and the additional external
keyboard are unnecessary, the portability of the electronic device
according to the present disclosure is improved.
[0062] In addition, the electronic device according to the present
disclosure includes the flexible display screen, namely the
bendable display screen. In the rotation of the rotating device,
