Display device

The disclosed multimedia devices may include an elongated first body comprising a major longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, a second body comprising at least one electrical connector accessible from a surface of the second body, wherein the second body is configured to rotate about the major longitudinal axis of the elongated first body, and an electrical coupling configured to maintain an electrical connection between a circuit of the elongated first body and the at least one electrical connector when the second body is rotated. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Rotatable connectors for multimedia devices

A device mount mounts a display with an aspect ratio greater than or less than 1:1. A camera is integrated into the device mount at a position above a top edge of the display. A hinge of the device mount rotates the mounted display. A mounting plate of the hinge couples the hinge to the device mount, and a shuttle of the hinge couples the display to the hinge to rotate the display between a landscape mode and a portrait mode. The hinge is configured such that rotation of the display from landscape mode into portrait mode translates a center of the display away from the camera on a vertical axis and rotation of the display back to landscape mode translates the center of the display towards the camera on the vertical axis.

Hinge mechanism of a device mount

A media device may include (i) a display device having a front side including a display surface, (ii) a support housing for supporting the display device in each of a plurality of alternative orientations on an external surface, the support housing extending from a back side of the display device between a mounting surface of the support housing abutting the back side of the display device and a distal end of the support housing, (iii) a coupling member disposed at the mounting surface of the support housing and mounted to the display device, and (iv) a battery power supply disposed within the support housing and electrically coupled to the display device via an electrical path extending through the coupling member. Various other systems, devices, assemblies, and methods are also disclosed.

Media device including display and power-delivery mechanism with integrated stand

Camera device

A portable electronic device, having a single piece housing to carry operational components having a front opening, an integral bottom and sidewalls that cooperate to form a cavity in cooperation with the front opening. The operational components can include a display to present visual content disposed within the front opening and having an outermost protective layer, a main logic board that extends along a central portion of the cavity having a size and shape that bisects the cavity into a first portion and a second portion each having substantially the same size and shape, a power storage system supported at the bottom wall and comprising a first power storage unit located in the first portion and second power storage unit located in the second portion, each being coupled to the main logic board, and self-contained audio components positioned at each corner of the single piece housing.

Architecture features of an electronic device

An electronic device comprising a device enclosure having an exterior surface; a contact area positioned at the exterior surface and having first and second ends, the contact area having a plurality of contacts arranged between the first and second ends and substantially flush with the exterior surface; and an alignment feature within the enclosure comprising first and second magnets positioned on opposing sides of the contact area, the first magnet positioned adjacent to the first end of the contact area and the second magnet positioned adjacent to the second end of the contact area.

Electronic device with contacts flush with housing

Contact structures that are readily manufactured, where contacts in the contact structures consume a minimal amount of surface area, depth, and volume in an electronic device.

Low-profile power and data contacts

An accessory device including a foldable cover, a keyboard assembly coupled to the foldable cover and including a plurality of individually depressible keys, an attachment feature connected to the enclosure and configured to magnetically couple the accessory device with the electronic device. The attachment feature includes an exterior surface, a plurality of openings formed through the exterior surface, a plurality of movable contacts corresponding in number to the plurality of openings, each movable contact extending out of one of the plurality of openings, and an alignment feature comprising at least one magnet positioned adjacent to the plurality of openings.

Electronic device with moveable contacts at an exterior surface

An enclosure for an electronic device is enclosed. The enclosure includes rib structures configured to improve structural support to prevent damage and to dissipate vibration throughout the enclosure. The rib structure can receive a speaker module and a cap member. The rib structure and the speaker module can combine to form a three-dimensional volume allowing the speaker module in which the speaker module may project sound, thereby enhancing acoustic performance. Also, the cap member may be adhesively attached to the rib structure to provide additional structural support against vibration and abuse caused by load forces associated with a drop event.
