A connector release assist system includes a first connector that has at least one first connector securing feature that is configured to engage a second connector to secure the second connector to the first connector, and disengage the second connector when a second connector release member on the second connector is actuated. A subsystem is located adjacent the first connector such that the subsystem inhibits access to the second connector release member when the second connector is secured to the first connector. A connector release assist device is located adjacent the first connector, extends past the subsystem, and is configured to actuate the second connector release member. In specific examples, the first connector is an RJ-45 female connector, and the second connector is an RJ-45 male connector.

Computing devices, input devices, keyboard assemblies, and related systems include a set of conductive traces or leads configured to transfer a capacitive load from an appendage of a user or another capacitive load source from a remote location, such as on a keycap of the keyboard, to a conductive portion or electrode on the keyboard that is positioned near a touch-sensitive interface of a computing device. The capacitive load is thereby transferable through the conductive traces or leads to the touch-sensitive interface without having to directly apply the load, such as by touching a finger to the interface. This can reduce or eliminate the need for on-screen controls or keyboard interface elements in a touch screen device without having to use a more expensive and energy-draining wired or wireless connection between the computing device and a keyboard case or accessory for the computing device.

A case adapted to be selectively connected to a first interface module, a second interface module and a third interface module is provided. The case includes a substrate. The substrate includes a first connection area and a second connection area. The first connection area is adjacent to the second connection area. The first connection area includes a first post. The second connection area includes a second post and a third post. In a first state, the first interface module is disposed in the first connection area. The second interface module is disposed in the second connection area. In a second state, the third interface module is disposed in the first connection area and the second connection area. The case is adapted to be selectively connected to different types of storage units.

Direction input data and inertial sensor data are acquired from a controller including a direction input section and an inertial sensor. Movement of a player character is controlled on the basis of the direction input data. In addition, a control mode for a position of a cursor is switchable between a first control mode and a second control mode. When the control mode is the first control mode, a position further shifted, based on the inertial sensor data, from a position calculated based on a position and a direction of the player character is set as the position of the cursor. When the control mode is the second control mode, a position shifted, based on the inertial sensor data, within a predetermined range, in a virtual space, including a predetermined position in the virtual space, from the predetermined position is set as the position of the cursor.

There is an operation mode that is switchable between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, a screen is divided into two display areas, and a game image in which a first player character is included in one of the areas and a second player character is included in the other area is displayed. In the second mode, a game image in which the first player character and the second player character are included is displayed in a single screen. In addition, the first player character can be moved using the first controller, and the second player character can be moved using a second controller. The second player character can be freely moved in the first mode, and can be moved within a predetermined range based on the position of the first player character in the second mode.

Operation data is acquired from either a first type of controller having a plurality of operation sections or a second type of controller having fewer operation sections, and a game process is performed. When the first type of controller is used for game operation, a selection item is switched in a forward direction for a plurality of items arranged in a predetermined order, in accordance with an operation on a first operation section, and the selection item is switched in a reverse direction in accordance with an operation on a second operation section. In addition, when the second type of controller is used for game operation, the selection item is switched in the forward direction in accordance with an operation on a third operation section of the second type of controller. Then, a UI image including these items is generated.

An electronic device includes one or more sensors to determine when the device is in use (e.g., being held or worn by the user) and when the device is not in use (e.g., is in a pocket or purse). Examples of such sensors include a capacitive sensor, a thermal sensor, a light sensor, etc. The device can be placed in a mount that allows the device to be more easily worn by the user. The mount extends the capabilities of the sensors on the device so that the sensors on the device can sense information through (or notwithstanding) the mount. The mount also optionally changes the viewpoints of one or more of the sensors, such as by re-directing a sensor that points to the side of the device so that rather than sensing information at the side of the mount information at the bottom of the mount is sensed.

A computer housing includes a housing frame including a first cover and a second cover. The first and second covers are components of an outer housing wall removable from the housing frame and, in the mounted state, each covers an inner region of the computer housing to the outside. The first and second covers each have an operating mechanism to release an engagement of the first and/or second cover on the housing frame. In the mounted state, the first cover hides the operating mechanism of the second cover. When the first cover is removed, the operating mechanism of the still mounted second cover can be operated from outside. Thus, the engagement of the second cover can be released and the second cover can be removed from the housing frame.

An electronic apparatus includes a locking unit to selectively lock a physical connection with an external apparatus and a control unit to control an operation mode of the electronic apparatus, according to a connection state with the external apparatus, in which the control unit controls the locking unit to lock the connection with the external apparatus, when the electronic apparatus is in an operation mode of using a graphic processing unit of the external apparatus.

A cord retainer is configured to be detachably disposed on an electronic device. The cord retainer includes a hook portion, a connection portion, and a clamp portion. The hook portion is configured to be fastened to the handle of the electronic device. The hook portion may be a tubular structure that extends along an extension direction. The connection portion is connected to the hook portion. The clamp portion is connected to the connection portion, and is configured to retain a cord attached on the electronic device. The clamp portion may be a plate structure that extends along an extension plane that is parallel to the extension direction.
