Abstract: A fitness watch case (502) is disclosed comprising a display housing (504) that houses a display for displaying information to a user; and a user interface (506) having touch-sensitive input means for controlling the watch. The user interface (506) is spaced apart from the display housing (504), thereby enabling the user to operate the user interface using only a single finger. The watch case (502) is insertable into a strap (508) to form a fitness watch (500) that can be worn on the wrist of the user.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly 202 to support and form an electrical connection with a portable electronic device 201 is disclosed comprising a power connector 208 having one or more electrical contacts to deliver electrical power to the portable electronic device 201 and a protruding support 204 for the electronic device that is insertable into a recess 223 in a connector receiving assembly 206 of the device in order to engage the power connector 208 with a corresponding device connector 222.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a base image and a secondary image overlying the base image on a display, detecting an alignment of a first element of the base image with a second element of the secondary image, and when the first element and the second element are pre-selected elements for a user, authenticating the user.

Abstract: An interactive food and/or drink ordering system is provided comprising a computer controlled projector apparatus and a horizontal surface, wherein images from the computer controlled projector apparatus are projected onto some or all of the surface, the images including a menu of food and/or drink selection options, the selection options being selectable by a first user operating an interface device operable to provide input to the computer and also by a second user operating an interface device operable to provide input to the computer, wherein the menu of food and/or drink selection options is projected into a zone on the surface that is shared by the first and second users.

Abstract: A docking station (10) for an elongate rectangular mobile device. A first adjustable slide clamp member (14) is fitted in aperture (28) and is capable of adjustment in one direction. A second adjustable rotate clamp member (16) has a plug (85) for interconnection with a socket of the mobile device. The slide clamp member (14) has a clamp surface (32) and comprises a ratchet arm (26). The rotate clamp member also has a clamp surface (32c) and is rotatably disposed with respect to the body so that it can rotate between two positions. In a first position the clamp surface is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slide clamp (14). In a second position it is parallel to that direction. In the second position, it opens a second aperture opposite the rotate clamp member and in which the slide clamp member can be inserted.

Abstract: A exemplary key assembly for a handheld device includes one or more L-shaped key structures each having a first member configured to receive an input keystroke and a second member substantially orthogonal to the first member; and a frame configured to receive the one or more L-shaped key structures, the frame having a wall aligned with the second member of the key structure, with the wall further comprising a switch for each of the one or more L-shaped key structures associated with an inner surface of the wall, wherein each switch is associated with an actuator associated with the second member of the corresponding key structure such that depression of a given key structure causes the actuator of the second member of the key structure to engage the switch of the wall.

Abstract: An interactive food and/or drink ordering system, in which a computer controlled projector is mounted above a surface such that a menu of food and/or drink selection options is projected onto some or all of the surface. The selection options are selectable by a user operating an interface device connected to the computer, such as a wireless track pad.

Abstract: An electronic mobile device includes a base supporting an input panel. A cover pivotally connects to the base and is pivotable from a closed position to an open position and vice versa relative to the base. In the closed position the cover covers the input panel, and in the open position the cover is disposed away from the base. A base magnet is supported within the base and has a first magnetic axis. A cover magnet is supported within the cover so as to move with the cover relative to the base. The cover magnet has a second magnetic axis that tends to align with the first magnetic axis to thereby bias the cover towards at least one of the closed position and the open position.

Abstract: A mobile communication device and linkage mechanism are provided to enable an opened position of the device which is less than the total length of the lid and base members. In the opened position, a portion of the lid member overlaps the base member. The linkage mechanism may actuate translational movement of the lid member as the device is moved between the closed and opened positions.

Abstract: A portable navigation assembly is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the portable navigation assembly includes a portable navigation device including a housing, the housing including a speaker port defined by a speaker port periphery; and a mount including a connector arm. In at least one embodiment, the connector arm is adapted to be connected to the portable navigation device around at least a portion of the speaker port periphery without covering at least a portion of the speaker port.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge assembly rotatably coupling the first housing to the second housing and enabling movement of the device between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The hinge assembly includes a pair of link arm assemblies each including a first linkage arm configured for engaging the first housing and a second linkage arm configured for engaging the second housing. When the device is in the open configuration, the first housing is planar with the second housing.
