    摘要: A keyboard for use with an electronic device including an electronic processor. The keyboard includes a printed circuit board that is configured to communicate with the electronic processor of the electronic device, a first plurality of physical keys, and a second plurality of dedicated physical keys. Each of the first plurality of physical keys is movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. When in the actuated position, each of the first plurality of physical keys is configured to generate a first signal that inserts a character on the electronic device. Each of the second plurality of dedicated physical keys is movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. When in the actuated position, each of the second plurality of dedicated physical keys is configured to generate a second signal that performs a function in a teleconferencing application running on the electronic device.

    摘要: A dock for a portable electronic device includes a base, a cradle coupled to the base and defining an interior volume configured to receive the portable electronic device, and a security apparatus. The security apparatus is configured to move between a first position where the security apparatus is configured to couple to the portable electronic device, and a second position where the security apparatus is configured to disengage the portable electronic device. The dock includes a detect mechanism coupled to the security apparatus for movement relative to the cradle. The detect mechanism is configured to block insertion of the portable electronic device into the cradle when the security apparatus is in the first position.

    摘要: A dock for a portable electronic device including a base, a controller, and a locking element configured to engage the portable electronic device. The locking element includes an electronic actuator configured to unlock the locking element. The controller includes a power supply in electronic communication with a utility power input connection and an external power source input connection. The power supply is configured to receive power from either the utility power input connection or the external power source input connection. The electronic processor is configured to receive an indication to unlock the locking element, and to provide power to the electronic actuator to unlock the locking element upon receiving the indication. The external power input is provided to the power supply from the external power source input connection based on no utility power input being present at the utility power input connection.

    摘要: A dock for a portable electronic device includes a base and an arm movably supported on the base. The arm has a ratchet gear set and a distal end configured to engage the portable electronic device to secure the portable electronic device to the base. The dock further includes a ratchet pawl positioned within the base. The ratchet pawl is movable between a first position, in which the ratchet pawl engages the ratchet gear set to inhibit movement of the arm relative to the base, and a second position, in which the ratchet pawl disengages the ratchet gear set to allow movement of the arm relative to the base. The dock further includes an electronic actuator operable to actuate the ratchet pawl from the first position to the second position.
