Abstract: A variety of improvements to docking systems for portable computing devices are disclosed. For example, improved techniques for maintaining a data connection between a base portion of the docking system and a case portion of the docking system are disclosed. As an example, the docking system can include improved magnetics that help maintain the data connection between the base portion and the case portion, even during rotational movements of the case portion relative to the base portion. Further still, examples are described where the detection of a docking action between the case portion and the base portion can trigger any of a number of responsive actions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a number of embodiments for wireless and non-conductive transfers of power and data to electronic devices. These technological advances can be implemented in retail security products (e.g., merchandising display positions for devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, wearables (e.g., smart watches), digital cameras, etc.) as well as docking systems for tablet computers.

Abstract: Methods and system are directed to wireless and non-conductive transfers of power and data to electronic devices. The methods and systems can be implemented in retail security products, such merchandising display assembly for displaying devices such as smart phones, tablets, digital cameras, and wearables. In one aspect, a merchandising display assembly may include a wireless power transfer capability and a wireless data transfer capability. An electronic device may interface directly with the base position assembly or via an intermediary assembly. The interface may be accomplished without an electrical cable to transmit power and data from the base position assembly to the electronic device.

Abstract: A method and system for customizing access to content aggregated from multiple sources. A method includes selecting at least two content items, where the at least two content items are the result of a search from at least two sources, saving the at least two content items in a container, determining a channel, mapping the container to the channel and allowing access to the at least two content items in the container via the channel.

Abstract: A user interface with software lensing may be described. An apparatus may comprise a user interface module to display information objects for an electronic program guide, receive movement information from a remote control, and move a pointer in response to the movement information. The apparatus may further include a media lensing module to increase a first information object to a first size when the pointer approaches or coincides with the first information object. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques to generate information using a remote control are described. An apparatus may comprise a user interface module to receive movement information representing handwriting from a remote control, and to perform handwriting recognition operations using the movement information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A user interface for a media device may be described. An apparatus may comprise a user interface module to receive movement information representing handwriting from a remote control, convert the handwriting into characters, and display the characters in a first viewing layer with graphical objects in a second viewing layer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
