Multi-task interactive wireless telecommunications device
View Patent ↗A portable wireless telecommunications device has electronic computer visual display includes at least one central display screen and at least two additional screens respectively disposed foldably to the right and left of said central screen, for displaying simultaneous, multiple images to a user. The foldable display has at least two mutually connected foldable sub-display units, and it includes a user attachable and detachable connector, for user-assembling of the sub-display units into mutual connection with each other. Each of the two sub-display units have user-deployable supports (e.g. a rigid angular support member) for maintaining the sub-display units in an upwardly projecting disposition during use.
1. A hand-held wireless telecommunications unit displaying images to a user, comprising:
a hand-held body having a keypad;
a display on an upper face of said body comprising a first screen having a side-to-side axis;
a second screen slidable outwardly along said side-to-side axis of said first screen along tracks mounted on upper and lower edges of said first screen, said second screen being movable between a first position wherein said second screen is nested under said first screen and a second deployed position wherein said second screen forms a continuous screen with said first screen;
a third screen slidable outwardly along said side-to-side axis of said first screen on tracks mounted on upper and lower edges of said second screen, all of said screens when fully deployed together providing a full width of an SVGA display, said third screen being movable between a first position wherein said third screen is nested under said first and second screens and deployed position wherein said first, second and third screens form a continuous screen; and
means for deploying said screens using only one hand of a user in one sweeping motion.
2. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 1 having a grasping handle extending from a distal edge of said third screen accessible when said second and third screens are nested under said first screen for pulling said second and third screens outwardly to form said continuous screen.
3. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 2 wherein said telecommunications unit is a cellular telephone.
4. The hand held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 2 wherein said telecommunications unit is a wireless personal digital assistant.
5. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 2 wherein said telecommunications unit is wireless Internet Web based personal electronic organizer.
6. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 2 wherein said screens are LCD's.
7. A hand-held wireless telecommunications unit displaying images to a user, comprising:
a hand-held body having a keypad;
a first screen on an upper face of said body having upper and lower edges, and first and second sides bounding a width of said display;
at least one second screen nested under said first screen slidable outwardly past one of said sides of said first screen on tracks mounted on said upper and lower edges of said first screen, said at least one second screen being movable between a first position under said first screen and second deployed position wherein said at least one second screen is off to a side of said first screen to form a continuous screen with said first screen for a full width of an SVGA display; and
means comprising a grasping handle extending from a distal edge of said second screen accessible when said second screen is stored under said first screen for pulling said at least one second screen from said first position to said second deployed position in one sweeping motion.
8. The hand held wireless telecommunications unit displaying images to a user as in claim 7 wherein said at least one second screen is a plurality of further screens, each said further screen slidable on said tracks, wherein said first, second and further screens nesting together when retracted after use.
9. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said telecommunications unit is a cellular telephone.
10. The hand held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said telecommunications unit is a wireless personal digital assistant.
11. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said telecommunications unit is wireless Internet Web based personal electronic organizer.
12. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said screens are LCD's.
13. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said first screen is powered by a first driver electronics circuitry controlled by imaging software and said second screen is powered by a separate driver electronics circuitry controlled by imaging software.
14. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said first and second screens are both powered by a common driver electronics circuitry controlled by imaging software.
15. The hand-held wireless telecommunications unit of claim 7 wherein said first screen displays a first image powered by a first driver electronics circuitry controlled by imaging software and said second screen displays a second image powered by a second driver electronics circuitry controlled by imaging software.
16. The hand-held wireless telecommunication unit of claim 7 wherein said first and second screens display respective portions of a single image.
17. The hand-held wireless telecommunication unit of claim 7 having additional screens nested under said second screen.
18. The hand-held wireless telecommunication unit of claim 7 wherein a third screen is nested under said second screen and deplovable to an opposite side of said first screen.
19. The hand-held wireless telecommunication unit of claim 7 wherein a third screen is nested under said second screen deployable past a distal side of said second screen when deployed, all of said screens forming a continuous display for a full width of an SVGA display.
