Abstract:
1. A mobile device capable of automatic enablement of a rear-face data entry, the mobile device comprising: a CPU and a memory unit operatively connected to the CPU; a graphics unit operatively connected to the CPU; a non-transparent front display unit operatively connected to the graphics unit; a non-transparent rear display unit operatively connected to the graphics unit; a dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface incorporating a physical keyboard; an automatic rear-face data entry interface enable/disable module comprising a gyroscopic sensor and an eye movement tracking program executed on the CPU, wherein the gyroscopic sensor determines whether the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface is facing-up, and the eye movement tracking program in association with a camera lens determines whether a user's eyes are aligned to the physical keyboard on the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface, so that the automatic rear-face data entry interface enable/disable module prevents an accidental user input into the physical keyboard on the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface by automatically disabling the physical keyboard from the accidental user input, when and if the gyroscopic sensor determines the physical keyboard on the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface to be not facing-up, while the eye movement tracking program, in a simultaneous timeframe of a rear-face face-up position determination from the gyroscopic sensor, synchronously determines that the user's eyes are not aligned to the physical keyboard on the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface; and a rear cover sensor that detects whether the dockable and removable rear-face data entry interface is currently docked into a main body of the mobile device, wherein the rear cover sensor requests the CPU to activate the automatic rear-face data entry interface enable/disable module only when the dockable and removable rear-face entry interface is currently docked, and wherein the rear cover sensor requests the CPU to deactivate the automatic rear-face data entry interface enable/disable module when the dockable and removable rear-face entry interface is not currently docked in the main body of the mobile device.
