Abstract
A cradle apparatus cradles a mobile communications device, detects spatial distances from target objects positioned in adjacency to the cradle apparatus, and communicates with the mobile communications device for selectively powering off or powering on the visual display of the mobile communications device based on its distance from a target object. The cradle apparatus includes a cradle assembly, at least one distance sensor, and sensor support circuitry. The cradle assembly is configured for receiving and cradling the communications device and displaying a visual display of the communications device as cradled by the cradle assembly. Each distance sensor is positioned by the cradle assembly for detecting the relative distance of select objects positioned in adjacency to the visual display. The sensor support circuitry communicates each distance sensor to a switch or circuit board for powering off or powering on the visual display depending on its distance from the target object.
