    Patent number: 10901224
    Abstract: A wearable computing device having a main computing element having a center portion and at least two arms and a display element operably connected to arms to enclose a region within which a body part may be inserted. Each arm may include a docking element connectable to the display element and may be configured to slide within the arm to move the display element relative to the center portion of the main computing element. A pivot arm may pivotably connect the display element to the slider arm to permit pivoting of the display element relative to the plane of the main computing element.

  • Modular mobile device side bar/buttons
    Patent number: 10798235
    Abstract: A mobile device having an internal frame and a sidebar configured to be coupled to the internal frame. The sidebar can include at least one button positioned in a button configuration on an exterior face of the sidebar and a sidebar contact positioned on an interior face of the sidebar. The sidebar can be positioned to interface with a frame contact when the sidebar is coupled to the internal frame. The frame can be operably coupled to a controller for a mobile device such that coupling the sidebar contact to the frame contact operably connects the at least one button of the sidebar to the controller. The sidebar can be exchanged with or decoupled from the frame and replaced with a second sidebar having a different button configuration from the original sidebar.
