Abstract

The present invention is entitled "Internal Input Control". The present disclosure describes a portable electronic device that includes a device housing having a device housing component that defines an opening. In some embodiments, the opening may be an acoustic opening configured to accommodate the passage of audio waves into and / or out of the device housing. The portable electronic device also includes an input control disposed within the device housing; and an electronic component disposed in a first position between the input control and the opening defined by the device housing member. At least a portion of the electronic component is configured to be displaced from a first position to a second position in which an input control is actuated by the electronic component.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. nonprovisional patent application 16 / 271,526, filed February 8, 2019, which claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application 62 / 736,079, filed September 25, 2018 Right, the contents of this U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application and this U.S. Provisional Patent Application are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. technical field [0003] The described embodiments relate generally to input controls disposed within electronic devices. In particular, the input control may be actuated by inserting the actuation member through the opening into the electronic device to displace the operative electronic component within the electronic device sufficiently to actuate the input control. Background technique [0004] Portable electronic devices have become increasingly dependent on touch screen interfaces. While this interface type allows the ...
