Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to an electronic device having an illuminated body that defines a virtual or dynamic trackpad. The electronic device includes a translucent layer defining a keyboard region and a dynamic input region along an external surface. A keyboard may be. positioned within the keyboard region and including a key surface and a switch element (e.g., to detect a keypress). A light control layer positioned below the translucent layer and within the dynamic input region may have a group of illuminable features. The electronic device may also include a group of light-emitting elements positioned below the optical diffuser. One or more of the light control layer or the group of light-emitting elements may be configured to illuminate the dynamic input region to display a visible boundary of an active input area. At least one of a size or a position of the visible boundary may be dynamically variable.

Claim (Index 1):
An electronic device, comprising:\n an upper portion, comprising:\n an upper enclosure defining an opening; and \n a display positioned at least partially within the opening and configured to depict a graphical output; and \n a lower portion pivotally coupled with the upper portion, the lower portion comprising:\n a lower enclosure having a translucent layer that defines an active input area and light-extraction features positioned within the active input area; \n a keyboard positioned along an upper surface of the lower enclosure and configured to receive a keypress; \n a light-emitting element positioned along a side of the translucent layer and configured to propagate light through the translucent layer to the light-extraction features to illuminate the active input area; and \n a processing unit configured to modify the graphical output in response to the keypress and modify the graphical output in response to an input received along the active input area when the active input area is illuminated.
