摘要： Systems and methods for opportunistically charging a rechargeable power source of a portable electronic unit are provided. The system includes a primary inductance assembly energized by a main power source for inducing an electro-magnetic flux in a secondary coil assembly associated with a power source of the portable unit. Such electro-magnetic flux creates an electric current that is subsequently employed for charging the power source of the portable unit. A controller of the charging system can monitor state of charge, and notify a user when a recharge is required. Scavenging modes may also be employed for recharging the main power source and the rechargeable source of the portable unit.

摘要： An input arrangement for a mobile device may include (a) a manual input mechanism producing a primary input when engaged; and (b) first and second state shifting mechanisms respectively producing first and second secondary inputs when used in combination with an initial engaging of the manual input mechanism. Each of the first and second state shifting mechanisms also produces a further secondary input when used in combination with a subsequent engaging of the manual input mechanism. The further secondary input produced by the combination of the manual input mechanism and the second state shifting mechanism is the first secondary input.

摘要： The subject invention relates to systems and methods for employing a housing as part of a hand held scanner as to increase utility and add ruggedness. The housing comprises an upper top housing and lower bottom housing, with the top housing comprising a set of accessory rails adapted to accept accessories associated with the hand held scanner, and the lower housing including an adjustable mass element for balancing a weight of the scanner. Also, top housing can be adapted to accept various key pad configurations via a transitional mounting frame, and the bottom housing can hold a stylus. A bar code scanner system employing such housing can incorporate displays located on various sides of the housing and/or key pads to facilitate a reading from the scanner at slanted angles.

摘要： Systems and methodologies are provided for improving dynamics of striking a key on a keypad during operation thereof, by shifting contours (e.g., slope of a key's surface plane) on surface of a key, based on location of that key on the keypad, and a manner (e.g., the finger used) the key is being stroked. Accordingly, the subject invention can employ varying surface contours to optimize contact between a user's finger and the key at any point depending on predetermined geometric locus for the movement of a user's hand and/or fingers when employing the keypad. A wave key and a pillowed key arrangement are disclosed according to exemplary aspects of the invention. Moreover, a raised protrusion (“ski jump feature”) can be provided around edges of keypad to enhance grip capabilities for the key pad and/or the host device.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for housing a stylus as part of a handle of a mobile terminal to increase utility. By designing a cavity within the handle of a mobile terminal, a compartment is obtained which in turn can be exploited for housing a stylus therein. The inner walls of such cavity can include sculpted ribs that function as a mechanism for guiding the stylus during insertion into the cavity. In one aspect, the stylus placed within the handle can be substantially parallel thereto. In addition, the stylus can be engaged in the cavity of the handle via a spring locking mechanism or any other suitable securing assembly.
