A keyboard dock can include a keyboard coupling; a front surface; and a front spacer that extends outwardly from the front surface, where the front spacer and the front surface form a mobile device support.

Portable electronic device

A portable electronic device includes a base, a first display pivotally connected to the base, a second display, and a linkage mechanism. The first display is movable to be opened or closed relative to the base. The second display is located between the base and the first display. The linkage mechanism includes at least one first link. Two ends of the first link are pivotally connected to the first display and the second display, respectively. When the first display is opened relative to the base, the at least one first link rotates to drive the second display to move up relative to the base. When the first display is closed relative to the base, the at least one first link rotates in an opposite direction to drive the second display to move down to be accommodated between the first display and the base.

Interface device and on-panel pad

An interface device includes an on-panel pad and a sensor controller. The interface device is used to perform an input to an electronic device in response to an operation by a user on a capacitive touch panel display of the electronic device. The on-panel pad causes sensor electrodes included in the touch panel display to generate a two-dimensional pattern of capacitance while the on-panel pad is on the touch panel display. When the two-dimensional pattern generated while the on-panel pad is on the touch panel display has been detected, the sensor controller generates or outputs data including operation information in response to a change in capacitance in a region that is associated with the two-dimensional pattern and that receives an operation of the on-panel pad, the operation information indicating an operation state of the on-panel pad.

Systems and methods for extending a keyboard to a surrounding surface using a wearable extended reality appliance

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for virtually extending a physical keyboard are disclosed. In one implementation, a non-transitory computer readable medium contains instructions that cause a processor to: receive image data representing a keyboard placed on a surface from an image sensor associated with a wearable extended reality appliance; determine that the keyboard is paired with the wearable extended reality appliance; receive an input for causing a display of a virtual controller with the keyboard; display, via the wearable extended reality appliance, the virtual controller in a first location on the surface, with original spatial orientation relative to the keyboard; detect a movement of the keyboard to a different location on the surface; and in response to the detected movement, present the virtual controller in a second location on the surface, with a subsequent spatial orientation relative to the keyboard that corresponds to the original spatial orientation.
