Abstract: An item data management server having the capability to create a physical item data record for a physical item in the control of a user based upon a data object of an accessible collection. The item data management server presents a clone command query to the user terminal, and receives, in response, a clone command query response that corresponds to and identifies a data object having a plurality of attributes. The item data management server generates a cloned physical item data record based upon the data object. The cloned physical item data record includes at least a portion of the plurality of attributes of the data object, and a second plurality of attributes associated with the user. The item data management server generates a web page including the cloned physical item data record, and presents the web page to the user terminal.

Abstract: An item data management server with rapid item data entry to facilitate database population with physical item data records for physical items in the control of a user. The rapid item data entry includes receiving a media file with at least an image and/or a verbal description for a physical item in which the item data management server may create physical item data record.

Abstract: An item data management server having the capability to transfer information and records via a physical item data record of an item data management server. The physical item data record transfer and/or cloning facilitates ready maintenance and upkeep of the inventory of physical items to other users to facilitate community/trade, and also provides a feature for providing information relating to the physical items to third-party service providers, such as insurers, and to governmental authorities, such as in the event of theft, to aid in the recovery of the physical items, et cetera.

Abstract: A item data management server having the capability to create a data tag from a physical item data record, where the physical item data record is based upon a physical item in the control of a user. The data tag creation facilitates the identification, maintenance and upkeep of the inventory of physical items, and also provides a feature for providing information relating to the physical items to the user/owner as well as to third-party service providers, such as insurers, and to governmental authorities, such as in the event of theft, to aid in the recovery of the physical items.

Abstract: An item data management server to capture, store, organize, and present information regarding a plurality of physical items in the control of a user. The item data management server is coupled to a user terminal via at least one data network.

Abstract: A wireless communication device and system is provided for detecting an incoming wireless signal and selecting the power state and performance of one or more interface units that are adapted to receive the wireless signal. Depending on which interface unit recognizes the incoming signal, that unit may be supplied full power and maximum performance, whereas all other interface units are powered down or placed in a lower performance state. User preferences can be input into the device and used to manually select certain interfaces. The user preferences can be overridden by the automatic detection mechanism or vice-versa. The detection and user preferences are affected by the network characteristics, and the location, traffic, and interrogation/acknowledge signals sent across the network in order to optimize the automatic selection and user preference capability.

Abstract: An item data management server to automate the generation of estimated valuations based on physical item inventories as a whole, and based upon database contents storing attributes associated for each of the physical items and collections of the physical items.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ultra thin tablet computer battery and docking station system. The system comprises of an ultra thin tablet computer system providing an ultra thin tablet computer (339) with edge mounted main battery (347) with an optional extended battery (310) and a docking system (501) for presenting the tablet computer (339) as a monitor to the user in an articulatable manner with or without the extended battery (310) while simultaneously charging the tablets main battery (347) and the extended battery (301) if it is mounted to the tablet computer while docked.

Abstract: A method and system for controllably and selectively securing a portable computing device to a physical holding device includes a physical holding device for receiving a portable computing device. A locking mechanism locks the portable computing device to the physical holding device. A security application associates with the portable computing device for responding to an authorization input for generating an electronic locking mechanism control signal. An actuator mechanism responds to the electronic locking mechanism control signal to actuate the locking mechanism in locking the portable computing device to the physical holding device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a docking station (501) for a tablet computer (339) with or without an extended battery (301). This docking station (501) comprises a docking assembly for positioning with three degrees of freedom and having a data connector for mechanically supporting and interfacing with the tablet computer (339). A support member (505) couples the cradle (507) assembly to an expansion base (503). The base (503) includes a number of ports (54, 56, 60, 62) for interfacing with a variety of peripheral devices or power supplies. These varieties of ports mount to a printed circuit board contained within the expansion base (503). A flexible printed circuit (FPC) (64) combines the signal pathways for the variety of ports, allowing the signal pathways to travel from the printed circuit board (64) and to the data connector (519).
