Disclosed herein is an integrated display device for a mobile terminal. The integrated display device includes: a terminal connection module including an accommodation part configured to accommodate a mobile terminal, and a docking part connected to the mobile terminal via a multimedia transmission and reception terminal and configured to receive image data output from the mobile terminal; and a display module including a display part configured to include a display device larger than a display device of the mobile terminal, and a controller configured to include a resizing module adapted to resize the image data received from the docking part and provide the resized image data to the display part; wherein the display module is integrated with one side surface of the terminal connection module; and wherein at least one operation button is located on the front surface of the accommodation part.

An apparatus and method are described herein, which simultaneously promotes a positive computing experience for users of portable computer systems and increases overall durability and longevity thereof. In one embodiment, an optical apparatus enhances the user computing experience, in one embodiment by simplifying operation, and is much more durable and long-lasting than mechanical switch and dial type devices it may replace. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an apparatus, which enables efficient portable computer device function, field, and data selection, gaming, input, interconnection, and other switching-related functions, simplifying operation and enhancing versatility thereof, yet without exposing the portable computer interior to any degree to incursion of environmental contamination. In one embodiment, an optical apparatus obviates openings in a portable computer package which would otherwise be required. In one embodiment, the apparatus, capable of sensing manipulation and directed by software, has a light source and corresponding light sensor.

An audio system includes a base station, an interface that enables transmission of audio content from a handheld media device to the base station via a cable, and one or more remote speakers configured to receive the audio content from the base station. The base station includes a housing, a speaker integrated within the housing to produce an audible signal from the audio content provided by the handheld media device, and a transceiver integrated within the housing for wirelessly transmitting the audio content to the one or more remote speakers. The one or more remote speakers are configured to wirelessly relay the audio content, thereby to supply the audio content beyond the transmission range of the transceiver.

An audio apparatus includes: a receiver which receives audio data transmitted by a broadcast method from an external apparatus; a sound emitter which performs sound emission of the audio data received by the receiver; a generator which generates sound emission control information relating to sound emission of other apparatus which can receive the audio data; and a transmitter which transmits the sound emission control information generated by the generator to the other apparatus.

A method includes generating, by a control unit of a first device, a handshaking signal to be transmitted to a second device via a second channel. The method further includes based on the handshaking signal being acknowledged by the second device, configuring, by the control unit, the second channel to communicate non-display data and configuring a first channel connecting the first device to the second device to selectively communicate either display data or non-display data; and based on the handshaking signal being not acknowledged by the second device, configuring, by the control unit, the first channel to communicate display data.

According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device for controlling a plurality of displays can comprise: a first display for displaying a first screen; a second display for displaying a second screen; and a control unit for determining attributes of the first screen and the second screen, for determining whether to display, on a display that does not enter into an idle mode, a screen displayed on a display that enters into the idle mode in correspondence to the entry into the idle mode of either the first display or the second display, and for controlling the first display or the second display such that the first screen or the second screen is displayed thereon. In addition, various other examples are possible.

In example implementations, an apparatus includes a housing. The housing includes an electronic connector coupled to a back side of the housing. In addition, the housing includes a pin coupled to a front side of the housing and in communication with the electronic connector. At least one alignment magnet and at least one wireless transceiver chip is coupled to the housing. At least one waveguide is coupled to the at least one wireless transceiver chip.
