New Nokia Patent
This new Nokia patent must be one of the weirdest cellphone patents recently. How this crazy phone exactly works? As you can see in the picture above, this concept employs something called a Jacobs Ladder flipping hinge arrangement. The interesting thing is that piece of movable material (called the ribbon in the patent) that you see in between the screen and the keypad. According to the patent, the phone will have two User Interfaces, depending on the position of the ribbon. In the first position, the device acts like a phone while in the secod position, it reveals a camera module (placed on the back) and the UI changes to one suited for operating a camera.
Look the the three parts to it, the screen, the middle and the keypad. Well if they’re flexible, as you open it (like a glasses case), once it reaches the part where most glasses cases would stop on their hinge, it keeps going, and rolls over itself until it closes up again, basically opening 360 degrees back onto itself.
However, when you do that, the surfaces will have changed to reveal the ones underneath the screen/keypad etc, ie a larger screen across the whole thing like the communicators.
Bear in mind guys this is just a patent, this kind of phone wouldn’t really be developed for another few years yet. I guess…
