A module for use with an electronic device includes a housing including a processor and a memory and an electronic cable coupled to a retracting spool disposed in the housing. The electronic cable includes a plurality of retention tabs disposed on the electronic cable. The module also includes a cable retention aperture passing through a side of the housing and including a wide portion and a narrow portion adjacent the wide portion. The plurality of retention tabs contact the narrow portion of the cable retention aperture to prevent retraction of the electronic cable into the housing.

Method and system for smart media hub

A method of implementing use cases includes associating a use case with each of a plurality of devices capable of being used or accessed by a user. The method also includes providing a plurality of stackable blades, each providing a standard physical interface and being configured to implement a solution to the use case associated with each of the plurality of devices. The method further includes stacking the plurality of stackable blades to form an interconnected stack. Each of the plurality of stackable blades are coupled using the standard physical interface. The method also includes executing a first purpose corresponding to a first use case and executing a second purpose corresponding to a second use case. Embodiments provide an electronic ecosystem featuring ubiquitous connectivity in which a standard contact array in each component of the ecosystem assures interoperability between heterogeneous devices.

System of stacked devices

A device includes a device body having an attachment face defined by an attachment area and a contact array disposed in the device body and exposed at a coupling face. The contact array comprises one or more magnets disposed on the coupling face and a plurality of terminals disposed on the coupling face. A periphery of the one or more magnets and the plurality of terminals defines a coupling area. The attachment area is greater than and independent of the coupling area.
