Basic Description
There are three novel factors that attribute to the RX10s wide range of uses. They are: Shape & Size - The PDA is the length, width and depth of a moderately sized Candy Bar Cell phone and is based on the dimension ratios of Sonys PSP. It can therefore be comfortably held in a vertical or horizontal position allowing operation with one or two hands respectively. Screen Size - The entire front face of the PDA is solely dedicated to a High Resolution Touch Screen thereby providing the maximum possible screen size for interaction and viewing media. The majority of program interfaces will be directly operated using the Touch Screen but buttons are located on the side of the PDA for extended communicability. The Dual Touch feature allows the PDA to be operated with one thumb or a stylus when held in a vertical position, or two thumbs when in a horizontal position. Adaptability - The PDAs capabilities can be enhanced according to user preference by attaching external devices that seamlessly merge with the PDA via specially shaped grooves, slots and communication ports. With its unique combination of features the RX10 has the versatility to be used much like a large range of mobile media and telecommunication products currently on the market.

There are two Primary Modes in which the RX10 can operate. To switch between them, one only needs to press a button on the Side Keypad.

Phone Mode
The RX10 can be used like a standard Candy Bar Cell Phone when held in a vertical position. Any cell phone interface can be projected onto the Dual Touch Screen and be operated as if the keys were built-in. The cell phone software can effortlessly switch to other interfaces for using specific applications. For example, the RX10 can automatically open a Word Processor for typing SMSs and Instant Messages. New interactive cell phone interfaces can be designed simply using specialized software.

Computer Mode
The Desktop can be operated when held in both vertical and horizontal positions, acting much like a PDA or Pocket PC respectively. The RX10 can work with a range of applications that are generally accessed through the Desktop but can be opened in the Phone Mode as well. Folders are opened in the standard windows format. Toolbars for applications are located on the side sections or can pop up by running a thumb or stylus along certain areas of the screen (i.e. lower long edge). The RX10 will have text to speech, speech to text and speech translation capabilities.

1st Person Shooter Game Pad (Medal of Honor) Alternative Game Pads Game Pads can adapt to the vast variety of game genres currently on the market. For example, with the Game Pad shown above, all the Action Keys are transferred to the side where they are easily controlled with the users index fingers. The majority of directional controls are located on the Touch Screen, with one thumb being able to control body movement and the other controlling head movement. There are many other types of Game Pads. Driving and Flying games require vertically sliding the thumbs in opposite directions to steer the vehicle. Action Keys such as Accelerate and Brake would be located on the on the side. With Fighting Games strikes are performed by sliding your thumbs on the Touch Screen and holding down various Side Keys. The user can simply switch between movement and fighting Game Pads during play to create a novel gaming experience.

Back Covers
Back Cover Extensions enhance the RX10s capabilities by providing various features tailored for certain applications. The Extensions can be produced as complete units with embedded features or can be built up by the user from simple base units (above). This allows for various combinations of different features. Built-up units can consist of 2, 3 or 4 Cartridges. The Back Covers can be applied or removed with the greatest of ease and can be stacked upon one another. The RX10 registers what type of attachments has been added via Communication Ports and automatically updates applicable software to run in accordance with external features. Features There are a range of features that are generally located within the Cartridges but can also be encompassed in the Middle Attachment or other types of attachments. These features include among others: Supplementary battery, Storage memory, Processors, Slots for external devices e.g. Memory sticks, Slide out Keyboard, Connection expansions e.g. GPS and WiFi, and Extras such as LED lights. An example of a Back Cover for gaming enhancement would be a complete unit with built-in Processor/Graphics Accelerator, Battery, and Hard Drive or Slots for Memory Sticks. If the user was taking a long trip and wanted to watch movies on the train, they could attach a built-up unit consisting of 3 cartridges that would include a large battery, small battery and Hard Drive or Slots for Memory Sticks.

The Screen is anchored to the RX10 via the Side Slot and/or Back Cover. When closed, the RX10 can still be used as a cell phone thanks to a basic interface on the back of the screen. Various Key Pad Cards, similar in size and thickness to standard ATM cards can be slotted onto this interface. An extra screen enhances the capabilities of the RX10 quite dramatically but can seriously drain power usage. For this reason, the Screen Attachment will generally be used in conjunction with a Back Cover.

With the extra Screen attached, the RX10 can be operated like a mini laptop. For example, when using a Word Processor or related program the entire Screen of the RX10 can be dedicated to a Keyboard (left). The Screen can tilt back by 180 degrees, allowing both screens to be used for reading documents.

Word Processor An extra Screen allows games to be played in Widescreen using more spread out controls (right). More types of gaming interfaces such as the Nintendo DS can be used.

Laptop (Open)

Laptop - When attached, the RX10s inner circuitry is directly linked to the Laptops and acts as a component thereof. The Laptop can therefore be slimmer as the RX10 has many of the necessary components that would normally add to its bulk.

Side Keypad (7 Button)

Video Camera

Wide Angle USB Camera

Side Keypad - Keypad Cartridges can be slotted onto the side of the RX10. They link up with it via a com port. However, the RX10 should perhaps have a permanent 7 Button Keypad built in. Video Camera - The Video Camera slots into the same place the Side Keypad does. It could possibly be attached to a Back Cover unit that has related features. This camera delivers superior picture quality and has ample room for a zoom. Videos can be directly edited or viewed in a video program straight after filming. USB Camera - The camera allows for on the go VoIP conference calls and when turned the other way, it can be used for taking wide angle pictures. It could perhaps be built into a Back Cover unit. I have Ideas and Designs of many other types of External Devices. These include among others, a front cover that will protect the Screen and has transparent buttons for user feedback. Game Pads can be attached around the RX10 so the entire screen can be used for a superior gaming experience.

1.

With the RX10 attached, slide the Support Casing outwards.

2.

Remove the Clip-out Stand from the back face.

3. Flip the switch on the Clip-out Stand and then place it on the underside of the Support Casing.

4. The complete unit is then placed onto a table with the projector facing an adjacent wall or side screen. The RX10 should be placed between 30 and 60 centimeters from the wall. When turned on, the RX10 measures the distance between the wall and itself using a laser on the rear side. It then projects a full sized screen onto the wall and a laser keyboard onto the table top. The RX10 can then be used like a standard PC. A drawback to this concept is that dim light is needed for the unit to operate correctly. The screen will have to be projected in a trapezium shape that tapers towards the top. This will compensate for the screen being projected at an upwards angle.

Interface Design Program

Due to Copyright and Design Protection Laws, replica software interfaces of current products will not be able to be produced and distributed by the makers of the RX10. A way of getting around this is to include Interface Design Software with the RX10. With this program, users can simply and easily design their own interfaces on their PCs and share them with each other. To start, the user chooses a picture (Motorola SLVR) and uses a pre-shaped cutting tool to select the applicable area. They then select where the Active Screen Area should be placed. Commands for certain applications can be dragged from a toolbar onto the picture and be sized and shaped according to user preference. Commands and Icons can be combined and then dragged onto the picture. Icons or groups of Icons with pre-set commands can be downloaded and added to any picture such as a family photo. After editing, the interface is saved and transferred to the RX10 for use. This program can be used to create any type of interface, including Cell phones, MP3 players and Game pads.

Key Expander Feature

Activation Area Actual Key Size

The Keyboard on the Word Processor application is fairly small which would under normal circumstances result in double types. By decreasing the Activation Area of the keys (A), they respond as if they were larger keys (B), (A) thereby preventing double types. This principle can apply to all keys, including Icons and Game Controls.

Components
Body
The RX10 will have a solid build and because it is crammed with features it will be relatively heavy for its size. The body of the final product will be streamlined with rounded edges for a more comfortable grip (see Sony Mylo). There could perhaps be an internal spirit level so that applications can immediately conform to the direction the RX10 is held in. The processor speed should be more than adequate to flawlessly play high quality videos and basic games. The battery is detachable and will provide the RX10 with hours of power.

Dual Touch Screen

Glass Covering

Hole in Screen

The technology to build the Dual Touch Screen is currently available. The Wide Screen area is 90mm x 50.6mm and the Standard Screen area is 67mm x 50.6mm. The Screen has a Glass/Plastic exterior that resembles the glass casing of the CS through Screen Apple iPod Nano. The phone speaker is located behind the screen and sound is transmitted from the speaker through a sealed off hole in the screen. The Side Screens may not be necessary or should perhaps be replaced by touch pads. These touch pads would have small buttons or directional markings for game play.

LCD Screen Phone Speaker

Earphone Jack and Polyphonic Speaker

A Standard Earphone Jack and Polyphonic Speaker are used with the RX10. The best types of earphones are the ones that connect at right angles to the RX10.

Charging / Communication Port

The Communication Port is a very specialized component of the RX10. As well as being able to charge the RX10, it is the link to the external devices. It must be able to transfer large amounts of information and charge simultaneously. The measurements are based on the iPod Nanos port.

Conclusion

Apple iPhone

Sony Mylo

All of the concepts and ideas presented in this report were conceived prior to the release of either of these products. I conceptualized the basic parameters for the RX10 in August 2006 and by October, had finished complete 3D drawings of the Device which are available upon request. I have been pleasantly surprised to see that many of the aspects of the RX10 are present in these and other new products being released on the market. I feel that PDA technology has a lot more to offer than just being used for media and telecommunication applications. With the Mobile PCs and Wireless technology that we have today, a range of applications can be produced that benefit the user in ways never before seen. I have many more Ideas and Designs of applications that can revolutionize the way that we use mobile media devices. Medical applications can be loaded onto the RX10 that communicate with wireless devices. These wireless devices can be placed on various parts of the body and measure vital signs and related aspects of the user night and day. Life style applications can automate mundane chores and manage all aspects of a persons daily lifestyle. Language translators can be loaded onto the RX10 and can instantly translate the users words into any language, in a natural-sounding voice. I have many more in-depth ideas and descriptions of the RX10 and related products that I think your company and its partners would be interested in. I feel I have great potential and with further training and experience in a work-related environment, I could become a valuable asset to your company and its vision.
