Abstract: A computing device includes: a housing defining an exterior of the computing device; a controller supported within the housing; a first communication port disposed on the exterior; a second communication port disposed on the exterior; a port-sharing subsystem supported within the housing, having (i) a first state to connect the controller with the first communication port, exclusive of the second communication port, and (ii) a second state to connect the controller with the first communication port and the second communication port; the controller configured to: detect engagement of an external device with the first communication port; obtain connection parameters from the external device; based on the connection parameters, set the port-sharing subsystem in either the first state or the second state; and establish a connection to the external device via the port-sharing subsystem and the first communication port.

Abstract: Methods and a system for dynamically modifying charging settings for a battery assembly are described. A first usage value and a second usage value for the battery assembly are received. A usage difference value for the battery assembly is determined by comparing the first usage value to the second usage value. The usage difference value is compared to a plurality of battery usage ranges. Each battery usage range is associated with a bin count, a different voltage offset, and a different current offset. The bin count of one of the plurality of battery usage ranges is updated based on the comparison. The bin counts of the plurality of battery usage ranges are analyzed to determine a largest bin count and a respective battery usage range. The battery assembly is charged with a voltage offset and a current offset corresponding to the respective battery usage range with the largest bin count.

Abstract: Device locationing using a beacon of a battery pack is described herein. A battery pack may determine that a user device is connected to the battery. The battery pack may determine, based on a power output of the battery, that the user device is inactive. The battery pack may cause, based on determining that the user device is inactive, the beacon to emit a beaconing signal that is associated with locating the user device and/or the battery pack.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computer system may initiate a method comprising: the method comprising: initiating communication between a tag and a reader; initiating a first program; determining a communication time period by starting a timer when the tag and the reader are within a communication range and stopping the timer when the tag and the reader are no longer within the communication range; comparing the communication time period to a first threshold time period; and when the communication time is greater than the first threshold time period, initiating a second program different from the first program.
