Abstract: A universal mobile computing device mount comprises a body, a clamp arm, and an insertable electrical connector. The clamp arm is extendible from, and resiliently biased towards, the body, and is configured to engage an edge surface of a mobile computing device. The insertable electrical connector is pivotably mounted in the clamp arm. The electrical connector is pivotable relative to the clamp arm to promote angular alignment of the electrical connector with a complementary electrical receptacle in the edge surface of the mobile computing device during mounting of the mobile computing device into the universal mobile computing device mount.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for pairing devices to establish device groups. The method includes receiving, at a server associated with a plurality of client devices and a plurality of accessory devices, a first request to establish a device group comprising a first client device of the plurality of client devices and a first accessory device of the plurality of accessory devices. The first request identifies the first client device and the first accessory device. The method also includes establishing the device group comprising the first client device and the first accessory device. The device group, once established, allows the first client device to utilize the first accessory device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a cable hub includes a housing having a base and a wall. The base has an interior surface and an exterior surface. A plurality of cable ports is disposed in the wall. A mounting magnet is affixed to the interior surface of the base. The mounting magnet has a sufficient pull strength for magnetically mounting the cable hub to a ferromagnetic surface upon placement of the exterior surface of the base against the ferromagnetic surface. The cable hub may be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub. In another aspect, a kit includes the cable hub and at least one ferromagnetic plate. The ferromagnetic plate may be affixable to a surface using an adhesive material.
