Abstract

A frame system for an information handling apparatus is disclosed. In the system, a first frame and an electronic subsystem cooperate to form at least a partial Faraday cage about an electronic component of the electronic subsystem, and a second frame and a different electronic subsystem cooperate to form at least a partial Faraday cage about an electronic component of that electronic subsystem.

Claims

1. A hand-held electronic device, comprising:

a display system comprising a display screen and a display board;

a wireless communication board;

a main logic board communicatively coupled with said display system and said wireless communication board;

a first shielding frame, encompassing the edges of said display system, said first shielding frame closed on a top side by said display system and closed on a bottom side by said main logic board so as to create a Faraday cage around said display board; and

a second shielding frame, encompassing the edges of said wireless communication board, said second shielding frame closed on a top side by said main logic board and closed on a bottom side by said wireless communication board so as to create a Faraday cage around one side of said wireless communication board.

2. The hand-held electronic device of claim 1, wherein said wireless communication board comprises a radio frequency transceiver.

3. The hand-held electronic device of claim 1, wherein said wireless communication board comprises a mobile telephone.

4. The hand-held electronic device of claim 1, wherein said wireless communication board comprises a cellular telephone.

5. An apparatus, comprising:

a user-interface component comprising a user interface and a user-interface circuitry component;

a wireless communication component;

a circuit board communicatively coupled with said user-interface component and said wireless communication component;

a first shielding frame, encompassing said user-interface component, a side of said first shielding frame met by said user-interface component and an opposite side of said first shielding frame met by said circuit board so as to provide electromagnetic shielding to said interface circuitry; and

a second shielding frame, encompassing said wireless communication component a first side of said second shielding frame met by said circuit board and an opposite side of said second shielding frame met by said wireless communication component so as to provide electromagnetic shielding to said wireless communication component.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said wireless communication component comprises a radio frequency transceiver.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said user interface comprises a display.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said user interface comprises a user input component.
