Images of the Nokia Morph, a flexible concept phone with a transparent screen, cropped up nearly two years ago<\/a>. The company’s recently-filed patent for a device with a bendy screen suggests that the Gumbyphone may still have legs.<\/p>\n

Nokia recently filed a patent for a device with a flexible screen that takes on different applications when the hardware is bent into different shapes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While that diagram might make it seem like Nokia is trading in camping gear, the patent illuminates some of the phone’s possible uses:<\/p>\n

\n

In one embodiment the pre-specified shape is also associated with a movement. As a pre-specified shape is detected and followed by the detection of a pre-specified movement an associated function is executed.”<\/p>\n

“FIG. 10a shows a device having been bent to resemble a can, possibly used to hold beer or soda. A search will thus be performed for a bar or a pub either a specific franchise or any bar or pub in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

FIG. 10b shows a device having been bent to resemble a bowl. A search will thus be performed for a restaurant either a specific franchise or any restaurant in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

FIG. 10c shows a device having been bent to resemble a roof or a tent. A search will thus be performed for a hotel, motel or guest house either a specific franchise or any hotel, motel or guesthouse in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s no telling if this patent will amount to anything, but for now just be happy that Nokia’s bendy phone may eventually see the light of day. [Go Rumors<\/a> via Slash Gear<\/a>]<\/p>\n
