Patent number: 10177583Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a battery-powered wireless switch and a switch dock. The switch includes a microcontroller, a short range wireless transmitter, and one or more tactile control buttons. Additionally, the switch includes one or more docking prongs. Each docking prong is contained within a groove in a switch back, with pivot pins through one end of each docking prong perpendicular to a prong longitudinal axis and parallel to the switch back. The switch also includes flexible strips coupled to the same end of each docking prong as the pivot pins, and a prong extender button coupled to the flexible strips. The dock includes one or more docking prong slots, where the number of slots matches the number of prongs. The prongs fit in the slots to mount the switch to the dock.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Hall Labs LLCInventors: David R. Hall, Mark D.

Patent number: 9966788Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a battery-powered switch and a switch dock. The switch includes a microcontroller, a short range wireless transmitter, one or more tactile control buttons, and one or more magnetic prongs. The magnetic prongs are contained within prong slots in a switch body. The prongs are coupled at one end to at least one spring coupled to the switch body, and the spring exerts a retracting force on the prongs when the prongs extend outwards from the switch body. The dock includes one or more metallic holes, where the number of holes matches the number of prongs. The prongs extend from the switch body and fit in the holes when brought near enough to the holes that the holes exert a magnetic force on the prongs that is stronger than the retracting force exerted on the prongs by the spring.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Inventors: David R. Hall, Mark Hall, Clint Cook, Davido Hyer, Joe Fox, Jedediah Knight

Publication number: 20170329301Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a battery-operated switch magnetically mounted to a switch holder. The switch includes a microcontroller, a short-range wireless transmitter, one or more tactile control buttons, and a switch magnet. The switch holder includes a magnetic plate, a front face having a front height and front width, a back plane having a back height and a back width, and a depth spanning from the front face to the back plane. The switch holder also includes a switch depression in the front face spanning at least a portion of the depth. The switch depression has a shape that correlates to a switch shape, and the switch depression has dimensions that correlate to switch dimensions. The switch is magnetically mounted to the magnetic holder in the switch body depression by the switch magnet and the magnetic plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2016Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: David R.
