Patent number: 11236529Abstract: A security apparatus for a portable electronic device having a slot includes a body having an insertable portion configured to be inserted into the slot of the portable electronic device, and a boss extending from the insertable portion and positioned outside of the slot. The boss is configured to attach to a lock head. The security apparatus also includes a wedge supported at least partially within the insertable portion of the body. The wedge is movable relative to the insertable portion between a first position, in which the wedge extends out of the insertable portion and is configured to engage a surface of the portable electronic device that defines the slot, and a second position, in which the wedge is retracted relative to the first position and is configured to disengage the surface of the portable electronic device that defines the slot.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: ACCO Brands CorporationInventors: Wilson Tse, William De Meulenaere, Michael Otsuka, James Kao, Joseph A. Teresi, Alex J. Klinkman, Todd C. Robinson

Publication number: 20170277888Abstract: A security device for an electronic apparatus having a port includes a housing and a connector extending from the housing. The connector is configured to couple to the port of the electronic apparatus. The security device also includes a sensor supported by the housing and operable to generate an output in response to an event detected by the sensor, and a wireless communication module supported by the housing and electrically coupled to the sensor. The wireless communication module is operable to transmit a wireless message to a remote device based on the output from the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Todd C. Robinson, Alex J. Klinkman

Publication number: 20160195897Abstract: A docking station includes a first port configured to couple to a display, a second port configured to couple to a peripheral device, a first connector configured to receive a first video signal from a first electronic device, and a second connector configured to receive a second video signal from a second electronic device. The docking station also includes a control circuit having a video processor operable to decompress video signals, a first electrical communication path formed by the first connector and the first port, and a second electrical communication path formed by the second connector, the video processor, and the first port. The first electrical communication path selectively transmits the first video signal from the first connector to the first port, and the second electrical communication path selectively transmits the second video signal from the second connector, through the video processor, and to the first port.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2015Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Todd C. Robinson, Louie Yao, Jonathan Stacey

Publication number: 20150193027Abstract: A media controller for controlling an electronic device includes a body having a communication portion, a stylus portion, and a control portion. The media controller also includes a short-range communication module positioned in the communication portion, a conductive tip supported by the stylus portion, an actuator supported by the control portion, and a processor positioned within the body. The processor is coupled to the short-range communication module. The processor is operable to send a first command, while in a first mode, to the electronic device using the short-range communication module, receive a user input through the actuator, and switch from the first mode to a second mode in response to the user input. The processor is further operable to send a second command, while in the second mode, to the electronic device using the short-range communication module. The second command is different than the first command.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2015Publication date: July 9, 2015Inventors: Todd C. Robinson, Brian B. Bautista, Adam S. Weaver, Erik J. Campbell

Publication number: 20150116926Abstract: A docking system for a portable electronic device includes a dock having a housing and a lock mechanism supported by the housing. The housing is configured to couple to the portable electronic device. The lock mechanism is operable to secure the portable electronic device to the housing. The docking system also includes a wireless key operable to communicate with the dock and an actuator coupled to the lock mechanism. The actuator is operable to disengage the lock mechanism to release the portable electronic device from the housing when the wireless key communicates with the dock.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventors: Todd C. Robinson, James Kao, Adam S. Weaver, Barry Marshall

Publication number: 20150116927Abstract: A system for use with a portable electronic device includes a case having a body configured to receive the portable electronic device, a first attachment structure formed on the body, and a second attachment structure formed on the body. The system also includes a folio having a cover and an attachment member. The attachment member is engageable with the first attachment structure of the case to selectively attach the case to the folio. The system further includes a dock having a housing and a lock mechanism supported by the housing. The lock mechanism is engageable with the second attachment structure of the case to selectively attach the case to the dock.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventors: Todd C.
