A detection circuit that detects the open and close state of a flip cover of a communications device. The detection circuit includes a resistive network and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When the flip cover is in the closed position, the circuit detects a unique resistive value through a set of contacts. This voltage level is converted from an analog signal to a digital signal via the ADC for input into a microprocessor. When the flip cover is in the open position, the contacts are broken, thus, disabling the detection of the unique resistive value. The resulting voltage level is converted from an analog signal to a digital signal via the AD for input into a microprocessor. Software, programmed within the microprocessor, enables the communications device to operate in the appropriate mode according to the detection of the open/close state of the flip cover.

La présente invention concerne un circuit de détection qui détecte les positions ouverte et fermée du couvercle rabattable d'un dispositif de communications. Le circuit de détection comprend un réseau résistif et un convertisseur analogique-numérique (CAN). Lorsque le couvercle rabattable est en position fermée, le circuit détecte une valeur résistive unique au moyen d'un jeu de contacts. Ce niveau de tension est converti d'un signal analogique en signal numérique au moyen du CAN, en vue d'être introduit dans un microprocesseur. Lorsque le couvercle rabattable est en position ouverte, les contacts sont rompus, empêchant ainsi la détection de la valeur résistive unique. Le niveau de tension résultant est converti d'un signal analogique en signal numérique au moyen du CAN, en vue d'être introduit dans le microprocesseur. Un logiciel, programmé dans le processeur, permet au dispositif de communications de fonctionner selon le mode approprié en fonction de la détection de la position ouverte/fermée du couvercle rabattable.
