A housing for an electronic device having an integrated battery compartment is provided. The integrated battery compartment has battery contacts and battery retainers that maintain batteries in place despite motion or impact forces.

Electronic device housing with integrated battery compartment

A host electronic device that supports both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Controller Area Network (CAN) connections is provided. The host electronic device drives at least one USB signal line and measures the voltage thereof. When the measured voltage indicates a USB connection from a peripheral device, the host electronic device determines that the peripheral device is a USB device. Otherwise, the host electronic device determines that the peripheral device is a CAN device.

Methods and devices for detecting a controller area network connection on a universal serial bus port

A method of activating an asset tracker from an ultra-low power shipping mode to a motion detection mode. The method includes detecting an activation trigger activity including double-tapping on the housing of the asset tracker, mid-air gestures comprising orientation changes, touch sensing, optical sensing, and loss of proximity with a proximity object in the packaging of the asset container.

Devices and methods for activating an asset tracker

A host electronic device that supports both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Controller Area Network (CAN) connections is provided. When the host electronic device detects connection from a peripheral electronic device that uses the CAN protocol, the host electronic device switches to USB-C alternate mode and routes CAN signals over sideband use signals.

Case for electronics expansion device

Systems, devices, and methods for asset tracking through specialized connectors and specialized casing units are provided. An example system includes an asset tracking device and a specialized casing unit to house the asset tracking device and to connect the asset tracking device to a communication port of an asset. The asset tracking device includes a communication port interface to interface with the communication port of the asset directly, and to interface with the communication port of the asset through the specialized casing unit. The asset tracking device further includes a controller to determine whether the asset tracking device is interfaced with the communication port of the asset directly or through the specialized casing unit, and when it is determined that the asset tracking device is interfaced with the communication port of the asset through the specialized casing unit, configure the asset tracking device to operate in a specialized operating mode.
