Abstract

An electronic device assembly includes an electronic device and an enclosure receiving the electronic device. The electronic device includes a display and a sensor. The enclosure includes a cover and a controller attached to the cover. The cover is rotatable relative to the electronic device between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the cover covers the electronic device, and the controller controls the sensor transmitting a first signal to the electronic device, for turning off a power supplied to the display. In the second position, the electronic device is exposed, and the controller controls the sensor transmitting a second signal to the electronic device, for turning on the power of the display.

Claims

1. An electronic device assembly comprising:

an electronic device comprising a display and a sensor; and

an enclosure, receiving the electronic device, comprising a cover and a controller attached to the cover;

wherein the cover is rotatable, relative to the electronic device, between a first position, where the cover covers the electronic device, and the controller controls the sensor transmitting a first signal to the electronic device, for turning off a power supplied to the display; and

a second position, where the electronic device is exposed, and the controller controls the sensor transmitting a second signal to the electronic device, for turning on the power supplied to the display.

2. The electronic device assembly of claim 1, wherein the electronic device further comprises a controlling module, the controlling module is configured for receiving the first signal, to turn off the power of the display, and receiving the second signal, to turn on the power of the display.

3. The electronic device assembly of claim 2, wherein the controller is configured for generating a magnetic field.

4. The electronic device assembly of claim 3, wherein the sensor is a reed switch.

5. The electronic device assembly of claim 3, wherein the controller is a magnet.

6. The electronic device assembly of claim 1, wherein the enclosure further comprises a bottom, the cover is rotatable relative to the bottom, and the electronic device is located on the bottom.

7. The electronic device assembly of claim 6, wherein the enclosure further comprises a connecting portion, the connecting portion is located on the bottom, and the cover is rotatably located on the connecting portion.

8. The electronic device assembly of claim 1, wherein the sensor is arranged in a corner of the electronic device.

9. An electronic device assembly comprising:

an electronic device comprising a display, a sensor, and a controlling module controlled by the sensor; and

an enclosure, receiving the electronic device, comprising a bottom, a cover rotatably connected to the bottom, and a controller attached to the cover;

wherein the controller is configured for generating a magnetic field for the sensor, and the sensor is configured for transmitting a first signal to the controlling module when in presence of a sufficient magnetic force area, for the controlling module turning off a power supplied to the display, and transmitting a second signal to the controlling module when in presence of an insufficient magnetic force area, for the controlling module turning on the power supplied to the display.

10. The electronic device assembly of claim 9, wherein the sensor is a reed switch.

11. The electronic device assembly of claim 9, wherein the controller is a magnet.

12. The electronic device assembly of claim 9, wherein the enclosure further comprises a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is rotatably located between the bottom and the cover.

13. The electronic device assembly of claim 9, wherein the sensor is arranged in a corner of the electronic device.
