You used two magnets to trigger an action? No.

As a general rule sh*t you could come up with while drunk, while a good idea, typically probably should not be patentable.

Otherwise you’d have people saying “ohhh our gas station gas pumps are patented because there is an automatic latch system that prevents you from having to hold it!” or “oh our grocery store has a patent on automatic doors!”

It’s a fairly obvious solution to a fairly obvious problem. “My hands are full and I need to open a door” isn’t that far off “I opened the cover and the screen is off”. You could do similar things with hinges, or pins, or…

This is not patent worthy. This does not move society forward, this does not highlight anyones engineering skills, and it should not be protected.

Just like google patenting location based triggers is stupid (but sadly necessary). “hey, I’m home and want my ringer to be turned on”…not a revelation.

It would literally “paint” the phosphors line by line (which is why you tended to get screen roll when it was out of whack). Screwing up the phosphors was the problem. There is no phosphor in an LCD, I suppose a strong enough magnet to still wage a holy war against it’s innards but at that point I think the better question is why you felt the need to stack rare earth magnets on your tablet.
