Abstract:
An electronic device having an enclosure and a cover is disclosed. The cover may be secured with the enclosure by a sealing element, or gasket. In response to using the sealing element to secure the cover with the enclosure, the sealing element may elastically deform. The elastic deformation may cause portions of the sealing element to extend into undercut regions of the cover and of the enclosure to form a first locking feature and a second locking feature, respectively. The first locking feature and the second locking feature may combine to provide a retaining force that retains the cover with the enclosure. Also, the first locking feature and the second locking feature may also provide a counterforce to a force applied to the electronic device (for example, dropping the electronic device) that prevents the cover from becoming unsecured from the enclosure.
Abstract:
A processor-based personal electronic device (such as a smartphone) is programmed to automatically prioritize a contact list (“address book” or “phone book”) based on one or more factors. The factors may include the frequency and/or recency of calls to or from a particular contact, the location of the user, the location of a particular contact, the time of day, the day of the week, and historical data (such as a user's daily pattern of calls, the recency of selection of the contact, the recency of an in-coming call from the contact, the frequency of in-coming calls from the contact, and the recency of non-telephonic communication via the device with the contact.).
