PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INTEGRATED WITH EXTENDABLE AND RETRACTABLE HEADSET ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device integrated with an extendable and retractable headset assembly, wherein the portable electronic device defines a substantially enclosed interior space and comprises:
- a detecting pin and a processor electronically connected to the detecting pin; and
a reeling mechanism configured for clockwise and anticlockwise rotation to drive the headset assembly to be withdrawn from and retracted into the enclosed interior space;
wherein the reeling mechanism comprises an urging member; and
wherein when the headset assembly is withdrawn from the enclosed interior space, the urging member activates the detecting pin to signal the processor to activate the headset assembly; and
wherein when the headset assembly is retracted into the enclosed interior space, the urging member activates the detecting pin to signal the processor to deactivate the headset assembly.

Abstract
A portable electronic device defines a substantially enclosed interior space and includes a detecting pin, a processor and a reeling mechanism. The reeling mechanism drives a headset assembly to be withdrawn from and retracted into the enclosed interior space. The reeling mechanism includes an urging member. When the headset assembly is withdrawn from the enclosed interior space, the urging member is in an elastically deformed state and the detecting pin is floating and triggers a first control signal to the processor. The processor activates the headset assembly in response to the first control signal. When the headset assembly is refracted into the enclosed interior space, the urging member returns to its original state and is electronically contacted with the detecting pin and the detecting pin triggers a second control signal to the processor. The processor inactivates the headset assembly in response to the second control signal.

11. A portable electronic device integrated with an extendable and retractable headset assembly, the portable electronic device comprising:
-
a housing; a battery cover engaging with the housing; a printed circuit board (PCB) received in the housing and comprising a detecting pin and a processor electronically connected to the detecting pin; a rail formed on the PCB for guiding a movement of the headset assembly; and a reeling mechanism secured on the PCB and driving the headset assembly to be withdrawn from and retracted into the housing; wherein the reeling mechanism comprises an urging member, the urging member actuates the detecting pin to trigger a first control signal or a second control signal in response to the movement of the headset assembly, the processor determines whether to activate or inactivate the headset assembly according to the first control signal and the second control signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A portable electronic device integrated with an extendable and retractable headset assembly, the headset assembly having at least one earphone connected to one or more earphone cables, wherein the portable electronic device defines a substantially enclosed interior space and comprises:
-
a reeling mechanism positioned within the enclosed interior space, the reeling mechanism having an urging member; a detecting pin; and a processor electronically connected to the detecting pin and controlling audio output to the headset assembly; wherein the one or more earphone cables are engaged with the reeling mechanism, the reeling mechanism selectively drives the one or more earphone cables to be withdrawn from the enclosed interior space and to be retracted into the enclosed interior space; wherein the urging member elastically deforms from an original state when the one or more earphone cables are withdrawn from the enclosed interior space and the urging member returns to the original state when the one or more earphone cables are retracted into the enclosed interior space; wherein withdrawal of the one or more earphone cables activates the detecting pin to signal the processor to activate the headset assembly; and wherein retraction of the one or more earphone cables activates the detecting pin to signal the processor to deactivate the headset assembly. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
