A mobile device has a front face and a back face opposite the front face. The back face includes an elastomeric layer. A pair of longitudinal sides are coupled to the front face and back face, and a pair of latitudinal sides are also coupled to the front face and back face. The back face or the longitudinal sides define a recessed slot extending along a longitudinal length of the back face or longitudinal sides, respectively. The recessed slot defines an open end at at least one of the latitudinal sides. The recessed slot has a recessed slot surface that has a low-friction material. A holster includes a pocket defining an open top end configured to receive the mobile device. A rail extends longitudinally along an interior side of the pocket. The rail is configured to correspond with and slidably engage the slot on the mobile device.

Elastomeric back with rails for mobile device

A mobile device and holster system includes a mobile device that has a front face and a back face opposite the front face, the back face including an elastomeric layer. A pair of longitudinal sides are coupled to the front face and back face, and a pair of latitudinal sides are also coupled to the front face and back face. The back face or the longitudinal sides define a recessed slot extending along a longitudinal length of the back face or longitudinal sides, respectively. The recessed slot defines an open end at at least one of the latitudinal sides and the recessed slot has a recessed slot surface that comprises a low-friction material. The holster comprises a pocket defining an open top end configured to receive the mobile device. A rail extends longitudinally along an interior side of the pocket, and the rail is configured to correspond with and slidably engage the slot on the mobile device.

The present disclosure described herein relates to a wireless electronic device and method for managing access to a server. The method comprises: receiving from the wireless electronic device a message identifying one or more requested services; accessing a database to identify a plurality of services from a plurality of servers available in the network; analyzing the database to identify a server of the plurality of servers that provides a requested service of the requested services; generating and sending an access request to the server for the wireless electronic device; receiving from the server information relating to the server; and generating and sending a response message to the wireless electronic device providing the information.

System and method for managing registration of services for an electronic device

The present disclosure described herein relates to a wireless electronic device and method for managing access to a server. The method comprises: identifying a first capability of the wireless electronic device; analyzing the first capability with operating parameters of a plurality of servers in the network to identify a first server that is compatible with the first capability; analyzing operating parameters of a plurality of services available in the network to identify a service of the plurality of services that the wireless electronic device cannot access in view of a second capability not currently provided by the wireless electronic device; identifying a second server in the plurality of servers that provides the second capability; and generating and sending an access request to the second server for the wireless electronic device.

The present disclosure described herein relates to a device and method for managing access to a server. The method comprises: receiving information regarding a current capability of the wireless electronic device from the electronic wireless device; analyzing the information with operating parameters of the servers to identify a second set of servers in the network that are compatible with the current capability; generating and sending access requests to the second set of servers; monitoring for responses from the second set of servers to the access requests; and generating and sending a response to the wireless electronic device providing information relating to the second responses from the second set of servers.

The present disclosure described herein relates to a device and method for managing access to a server. The method comprises: receiving a request from the device for access to servers in a network; generating and sending access requests to servers from an interface entity, where the access requests are produced from analyzing at least one capability of the device; monitoring for responses from the servers to the access requests; extracting access information from the responses; and generating and sending a response to the request for access to the device, the response including the access information from the responses from the servers.
