Abstract: In an example system comprising a location engine and a protocol engine, the location engine determines a direction of movement between a first device and a second device and the protocol engine establishes a communication connection when a distance between the first device and the second deice is less than a distance designated for automatic connection.

Abstract: A peripheral management device is communicatively connected over a network with a client device and with host devices having peripheral devices. The peripheral management device provides for centralized management of the peripheral devices of the host devices by the client devices through the peripheral management device and the host devices.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide a computing device expansion system. According to one implementation, a docking receptacle is coupled to a touch-enabled monitor computing device and is also configured to receive and connect to a portable electronic device. Furthermore, when the portable electronic device is attached to the docking receptacle, a display area of the portable electronic device is cloned on the monitor computing device such that touch input on either the portable electronic device or monitor computing device is replicated on the monitor computing device or portable electronic device.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of a personal computer system include a personal computer or a panel personal computer. For example, the computer may include a computer enclosure consisting essentially of a single panel shaped structure and a flat panel display integrally mounted inside the computer enclosure. By further example, the panel personal computer may include a flat panel display and a personal computer integrated at least substantially into one shared panel enclosure. Some embodiments of the computer have a center leg. In addition, some embodiments of the computer have substantially flat sides and faces that are substantially perpendicular to one another.

Abstract: One disclosed embodiment of a personal computer system includes a personal computer integrated entirely within a flat panel display having a single panel shaped housing. The personal computer system also includes a desktop mount integrated into a rear wall of the single panel shaped housing, wherein the desktop mount has a pivotal leg angled outwardly from the rear wall at a central region midway between left and right sides of the single panel shaped housing.
