Disclosed is a display device providing a user interface to switch a control object of a pointer from the display device to an external transparent display device. The display device includes a display unit including a first display area, a communication unit to communicate with an external transparent display device including a second display area, and a control unit. The control unit receives a pointer control signal, detects a first area among the first display area overlapped by the external transparent display device, sets a user interface to a position proximate to at least a portion of the edge of the first area, transmits the pointer control signal to the external transparent display device when the pointer overlaps at least a portion of the user interface, and transmits no pointer control signal when the pointer moves into the first area in a path not passing through the user interface.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a dual-part hinge assembly for a portable electronic device. According to one embodiment, the portable computing device includes a display and a base housing connected via the dual-part hinge assembly. Furthermore, the dual-part hinge assembly comprises a first portion and a second portion that extends behind the first portion when the display transitions to an open position so as to provide stability for the computing device.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that could include a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of the electronic device may include a display portion and a keyboard portion that includes a cradle dock to allow the display portion to be removably connected to the keyboard portion in a first configuration, where a viewing angle of the display portion can be adjusted.

An Ultra Mobile Communicating Computer, that can have all of the features and capabilities of a smart phone and pocket computer combined and more, plus many other features such as hands free carrying, one-hand and desk free, walk & type, ready to use operation, a fast, multi finger, one or two hand keyboard with full set of large, soft touch keys, large bi-directional screen, photo cell pads and others, and that can be made disintegrable, reconfigurable, custom made, in particular to be a talking machine for speech challenged, an ear for deaf, a crime prevention device, computer remote control, translator, musical instrument and multi party game gadget, in addition to a thin earpiece, an ear borne music player, video player, radio and or TV.

A docking station for a tablet device includes a security frame that is releasably connected to a pedestal. An upper head portion of the pedestal is rotatable through three degrees of freedom to allow for angular adjustment of the frame as it retains a tablet device. Electrical conductivity is maintained through the rotational connection.

A multiple monitor apparatus in the form or a laptop PC, a desktop monitor, a mobile device, and the like. In dual screen mode, the additional monitor is typically presented displaying different content and centered to the user. In single screen mode, the additional display enclosures are retracted and stored in such a manner that they do not present themselves to the user. A guiderail assembly is used to center both display enclosures relative to the user. The guiderail assembly may be motorized or manually effected and may be located above or below the primary enclosure hinge. The secondary enclosure may be extended and retracted from the primary enclosure by the use of slider arms. The secondary enclosure may also be hinged to the primary enclosure, utilize pegs, ride on its own guiderail, and detach from the primary enclosure or the apparatus. Independent guiderails may also be employed to center two or more displays relative to a user. In one embodiment, the monitor may be rotated from landscape to portrait view.

The present disclosure provides an attachable external display screen for use on electronic devices. The display screen may be removably mounted onto a surface of an electronic device to provide the user with an additional display screen. The attachable display screen may utilize a dual sliding mechanism that allows for the display screen to slide out to different lengths relative to the screen of the electronic device. The attachable display screen may also utilize a torque hinge to pivotally couple the display screen to a frame that mounts onto the electronic device. The attachable display screen is rotatable about both the horizontal and vertical axes, which allows a user to tilt and adjust the angle of the display screen.

An apparatus including a display, an antenna, and processing circuitry that receives, via the antenna, a near-field communication data packet from an antenna of a secondary device, the near-field communication data packet including information regarding a functional type of the secondary device, and updates graphics of the display based on the functional type of the secondary device.

A system can include a tablet computer that includes a tablet display; and a clamshell computer that includes a keyboard housing, a display housing and a hinge assembly that rotatably couples the keyboard housing and the display housing, where the display housing includes a display viewable via a display side, an opposing back side, and a tablet computer recess disposed between the display side and the back side that removably receives the tablet computer.

A system can include a display housing that includes a display on a display side, and an opposing, back side; a keyboard housing that includes a keyboard portion that includes a keyboard, a stand portion, and a hinge assembly that rotatably couples the keyboard portion and the stand portion; a stand portion and back side contact orientation, where the stand portion forms a non-planar angle with the keyboard portion and contacts the back side of the display housing to support the display housing at the non-planar angle with the keyboard portion; and a keyboard portion and back side contact orientation, where the keyboard portion is non-planar with the stand portion and contacts the back side of the display housing to support the display housing at one of two different angles.
