  • Patent number: 12014100
    Abstract: Electronic devices are used to provide content data and information to users based on their positional and user contexts. Methods and systems herein determine locations of the devices and provide content data from the devices based on their locations and based on content delivery settings, categories, and classifications. Some methods include distribution systems for providing content data and settings to a devices based on their locations. Thus, content data delivered by the devices is prioritized to improve the utility of the devices and the information they present. When multiple electronic devices are brought into proximity with each other, they can also interact to provide content data in different ways, including splitting up the content data, showing extensions, enlargements, or expansions of the content data, or otherwise differentiating the data provided by each device to improve the utility of the information provided by the devices.

  • Publication number: 20240029377
    Abstract: A computer system displays a three-dimensional environment and detects, via an input device that includes a first portion and a second portion that can be physically coupled in a first configuration and physically decoupled in a second configuration, a first input. In response to detecting the first input while the first portion is coupled to the second portion of the input device in the first configuration, the computer system performs a first operation in the three-dimensional environment. While the first portion of the input device and the second portion of the input device are decoupled in the second configuration, the computer system detects a sequence of one or more inputs that includes movement of the first portion of the input device relative to the second portion of the input device. In response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs, the computer system performs one or more second operations.

  • Publication number: 20230396280
    Abstract: This application relates to accessory support devices for supporting portable electronic devices in relation to other electronic computing devices. A multi-part clip includes a housing having a first housing part having a first surface, a second housing part coupled to the first housing part and having a second surface, and an internal volume. The multi-part clip has a circular, ring-shaped magnetic element disposed within the internal volume and forms, through the second surface, a magnetic attachment to a magnetic element of a portable electronic device. The multi-part clip includes a hook-like appendage pivotably coupled to the first surface and has a recess such that, in an actuated configuration, the hook-like appendage extends away from the first surface and the recess is configured to receive a portion of an electronic computing device. The multi-part clip is balanced atop the electronic computing device according to a gravitational force imparted therein.
