摘要:
A computing device is operated to detect a signal generated from an inductive signal interface. The detected signal may be generated by the device's inductive signal interface being in operational proximity to an inductive signal interface of another device. A notification feedback is generated that confirms an event related to the first and second computing device inductively signaling one another.
摘要:
A device is enabled to establish a secure and persistent pairing with one another across a communication medium, using credential information that is exchanged out-of-band.

A docking station is provided for a computing device. The docking station may be used by, for example, a mobile computing device, such as a cellular or wireless telephony/messaging device. The docking station includes a housing comprising a receiving surface top receive and retain the mobile computing device. An inductive signal transfer interface is included with the housing to inductively signal at least one of power or data to the mobile computing device. The docking station further provides an output component and processing resources. The processing resources are configured to detect placement of the mobile computing device on the receiving surface. The data is received from the mobile computing device, and an output is signaled to the output component based on the received data.
摘要:
A mobile computing device (‘MCD’) and docking station (‘dock’) are individually equipped with features and components that enable charging/power signals to be communicated from the dock to the MCD without use of connectors. Other embodiments provide for the MCD or the dock to identify an orientation of the MCD as retained on the docking station. As an addition or alternative, magnetic coupling may be used to maintain and/or orient the two devices in a mated position.
摘要:
A panel segment is structured to be attachable and detachable from the computing device in order to form a portion of the overall housing for the computing device. The panel segment includes a panel connector, positioned on an interior surface of the panel segment to electrically mate with an interior connector of the computing device when the panel segment is attached. The panel segment includes one or more electrical components that are operable to send an electrical output to, or receive an electrical output from a component of the computing device.
摘要:
A docking station that includes a base and a retention structure. The base is structured to rest on an underlying surface. The retention platform includes a receiving surface that is elevated from and supported by the base. A magnetic coupling mechanism is provided on the retention platform in order to magnetically retain a computing device that is rested on the receiving surface.
摘要:
A computing device is configured to inductively communicate with one or more other devices. The device inductively communicates to (i) determine an identity or class of the second device, and (ii) perform a function that includes communicating with the second device. The function is performed automatically, and is based on the identity or class of the second device.
