Motorola, owned by Lenovo, has registered a patent for a smart clamshell smartphone with a mechanized hinge. It is assumed that such a device will be able to open and close without the direct participation of the owner.
The patent was named “Autonomous management of the form factor of a foldable mobile device”. The idea is for the smartphone to be able to control its hinge by itself, tracking the movements and actions of the user. As an example, you can cite the Center Stage function in Apple tablets and computers, where the camera tracks the position of a person in the frame and always has him in the center. A potential Motorola clamshell can work similarly.

In particular, we are talking about alloys with a memory effect developed by NASA for spaceships. Interestingly, Apple and Honor have also patented complex devices that use this special alloy. In Motorola's case, the hinge alloy can change shape when heated – this allows the device to automatically adjust its exposure. Additionally, small motors should be used.
Time will tell if Motorola will ever put this idea into practice.
