Vivo Mobile Communication is attempting to bridge the gap between smartphone, tablets and laptops, or at least according to a patent that was uncovered recently. It was filed with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for a ‘terminal device’ and published on November 11, 2021. The sketches appear to show a tri-fold smartphone with a light-sensitive projection keyboard.
When in the closed state, this device appears to be just a large smartphone, but when completely unfolded, a tablet-like device is revealed. At the push of a button, a light-sensitive projection keyboard can be activated, thanks to optical signal transceivers integrated at the bottom on each side. There’s no word yet on pricing, but rumors are circulating on a possible early 2022 release.
