Utility Model Implementation

The electronic book contains a housing with two movably connected parts. Movable swivel provides a change in the relative position of the parts by 90 °, 180 °, 270 ° and 360 ° (Figure 2).

On the inner side of one of the parts of the case is the first display (A) (Figure 1), made by electronic paper technology for placing test and graphic information in it and an electric power source (1).

On the inside of the other part of the housing is a display with a color screen (B) that reproduces multimedia information; at least one interface for exchanging data (2) with at least one peripheral device for receiving and storing data received from the peripheral device; microprocessor (3); device for organizing the interaction of parts of the case (chipset) (4); main memory unit (5) and accelerometer (6).

The display of the first part of the housing (A) is made using electronic paper technology and is equipped with a capacitive module (C), which provides it with a capacitive touch screen. The first part of the housing is also equipped with a capacitive module control interface (D). The combination of electronic paper technology and a capacitive touch screen allows you to create conditions for controlling the stylus and forced finger-oriented control.

The display of the second part of the housing (B) is made using resistive TFT-display technology, which allows for simultaneous finger-oriented touch control and stylus control.

The dimensions of the display correspond to the page size of a standard printed book (diagonal of at least 10 '), which ensures comfortable use of the device as a traditional "paper" book.

In addition, the electronic book device includes a station for receiving and transmitting signals via a radio network (7), with at least one interface for, respectively, one receiving module, and at least one receiving module for telephone radio networks (8) while the station is configured to exchange signals through a telephone radio network and / or satellite signals. The electronic book also contains two cameras - an internal one (9) located on the first part of the case, and a front one equipped with an LED flash and located on the second part of the case (10). In the articulation of the two parts of the housing are the speakers (11) and the microphone (12). Each of the body parts is equipped with keys for separate information management on displays (13, 14).

The input means for controlling the device are touch screens. In this case, the screen of each part of the housing (A and B) is provided with such an input means. Information input and device control can be performed both from the virtual keyboard and the stylus on each of the two screens (A and B). Handwriting is entered from the display of the first part (A) using a stylus. For the convenience of using handwriting input, the display is equipped with a capacitive module control interface (D), which allows the capacitive module (C) to be turned off during writing with a stylus, which ensures that the screen does not react to hand touch. This is especially important for handwriting of large texts, requiring the free position of the user's hand on the screen while writing. To use the printed input of information, the control interface of the capacitive module (D) allows you to put the capacitive module (C) in the active state and ensure the operation of the virtual keyboard on the display (A).

The presence of a control coordination device with each of the parts (4) and the accelerometer (6) allow you to orient the display (B) to the desired position, during the activity of the capacitive module (C). Thus, ergonomic conditions are created for using the virtual display keyboard (B) and the electronic book as a whole.

The touch display of the second part of the housing (B) allows you to provide input and control of multimedia information using your fingers and a stylus at the same time, as well as fully use the multitouch function when working with interactive types of information.

The advantages of the claimed e-book over other e-books are in the ability:

1) ensuring full-fledged work with complex interactive content (books, magazines, textbooks, catalogs, etc., representing a combination of text, multimedia and interactive information) with the separation of functions between parts of the device, including search in external sources (external storage media, the Internet) , reproduction and interactive interaction with any interactive sources of information;

2) providing all the necessary functionality for independent creation of complex interactive content, both by compilation means (placing various elements of multimedia information from external media in the device and establishing links between them), and by means of the device itself (including two ways to enter textual information (handwritten and printed), generating in the device itself photos, audio and video information, etc., and establishing links between them);

3) ensure the most relevant properties of a modern device: portability, efficiency and self-sufficiency.

The portability property is realized thanks to the design advantages of the device:

- the presence of a swivel that provides a protected position of two displays in the closed position of the device, and a compact arrangement of displays in the open position of the device;

- the use of device sizes adequate to the sizes of traditional “paper” books;

- the presence and location of the battery, allowing to ensure the operation of the device in the absence of a stationary power source.

The property of economy is ensured through the use of electronic paper technology for the display (A) of the device.

The self-sufficiency property is realized due to the presence of all the input / output and playback components of complex interactive content in the device itself:

- the presence of components that provide two ways to control the device and enter information (using the stylus and / or virtual keyboard);

- the presence of a component for playing multimedia information (display (B) is made using resistive TFT-display technology, speakers);

- the presence of a component for generating multimedia information (photo and video camera, microphone).
