Sony proposes Xperia Play with dual keyboards after they achieve the patent for a device with two sliding mechanisms in addition to the display. How will the dual keyboard works in a smartphone? I'm quite curious.
Hi,
One of the latest patents filed by Sony suggests the presence of two sliding keyboards on one device. Technology that would integrate a full QWERTY keyboard and a joystick similar to the Xperia Play.
Two sliding panels on a single mobile phone, this is the next concept that Sony would want to work, and that the brand has recently patented.
The firm has obviously not yet reported above, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on its website that displays the patent in question. The patent explains that each particular sliding panel should be independent of each other to be deployed.
Thank you.
