Electronic Device Cradle Orientation Control

The patent combines the electronic device with the cradle system into an integrated unit. The cradle includes driving legs with motors that can rotate and reposition the electronic device automatically. This merging of the positioning function into the device-cradle system eliminates the need for separate mechanical structures while providing automated orientation control, thus improving ease of possession without proportionally increasing complexity.

The electronic device uses its own sensors (camera module, sensor module) to detect environmental information and user presence, then automatically transmits this data to the cradle. The cradle's controller processes this information and autonomously controls the driving legs to adjust the device orientation. This self-service mechanism allows the system to automatically adapt to user needs without requiring manual intervention, improving ease of operation.

The patent replaces complex separate mechanical orientation control structures with an integrated cradle system that uses driving legs with motors. The cradle receives digital control signals from the electronic device and automatically adjusts orientation through controlled rotation of the driving legs. This substitution of automated motorized control for manual mechanical adjustment maintains precision while significantly improving portability and ease of use.

The cradle system serves multiple functions: it provides physical support for the electronic device, enables automated orientation adjustment through driving legs, facilitates wireless communication, and allows environmental sensing. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate mechanical structures into a single integrated system, maintaining orientation control precision while enhancing portability.
