Disclosed are a card holder and an electronic device. The electronic device includes: a device body provided with a card holder slot and a card holder installed in the card holder slot, where a limiting rib is arranged in the card holder slot. The card holder includes: a card holder body, a card holder cap arranged on the card holder body and force application pieces for applying a force to the card holder cap towards the card holder body. The card holder cap is movably connected with the card holder body. The force application pieces enable the card holder cap to keep close to the card holder body. A limiting surface is arranged on the card holder cap and is abutted against the limiting rib so that an outer wall surface of a side wall of the card holder cap is flush with a surface of the device body.

Electronic devices are provided with ejectable component assemblies. The ejectable component assembly may include a tray that can be loaded with one or more removable modules, wafers coupled to circuit boards, cages and retaining plates to assist in retaining the tray within the assembly. The ejectable component assembly may include springs operative to engage detents in the tray to retain the tray in the assembly. The ejectable component assembly may include a tray ejector mechanism for ejecting the tray from the assembly.

An electronic device case is provided. The electronic device includes a first case having a first groove and a second case. The second case includes a first body, a connection portion formed at the first body so as to be coupled with the first case when the first body is inserted into the first groove, and a card holding portion where a partition is formed to attach a card to the first body.

A protective case is configured to receive a mobile device and to magnetically attach to another article and includes a front face mechanically connected to a plurality of side faces (the front face and side faces for detachably connecting to a mobile device), and a back face comprising at least one magnet for magnetically coupling an article comprising at least one magnet to said protective case.

The present invention relates to a SIM multiplexing device that provides a mechanism for multiplexing multiple SIM cards into a single SIM device. The SIM Mux device interfaces to the host device via the host device's standard SIM slot. The SIM Mux application resides on the SIM Mux logic device and communicates with the device over the SIM slot's SIM I/O line using standard ISO-7816 messages. The SIM Mux application allows a user to select the active SIM slot via a SIM application interface and directs the logic device which SIM socket to activate on the shared SIM I/O line, thus enabling the user to utilize any one of the populated SIM cards at one time.

The present publication discloses a communication chip integrated with a SIM card, comprising: a baseband CPU, a first protocol interface, selector switch, and a SIMZone unit; said baseband CPU being connected to the first protocol interface; said selector switch being connected to the SIMZone unit, the first protocol interface, and an IF1 interface. The selector switch and said SIMZone unit are always in a state of communication with each other, and when said selector switch is in a state of communication with said first protocol interface, said SIMZone unit is used for providing SIM card functionality to said baseband CPU; when said selector switch is in a state of communication with said IF1 interface, said SIMZone unit is used for receiving data written by means of said IF1 interface. In the embodiments of the present publication, by means of integrating a SIM card in the communication chip of a terminal equipment, the area occupied by the SIM card on the PCB of the terminal equipment is reduced, the SIM card is prevented from serving as an independent hardware entity, the swapping process is avoided, and reliability and security are increased, security being not lower than that of a conventional SIM card.

In one embodiment, a card reader device includes: a read head configured to generate a signal indicative of data stored on a magnetic stripe of a card, an output plug, adapted to be inserted into a headset jack of a mobile host device, configured to communicate an output signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe to a microphone input of the headset jack of the mobile host device; and circuitry configured to set the amplitude, which includes attenuation by at least a resistor, of a signal communicating said data included in the signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe generated by the read head resulting in the output signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe. In one embodiment, the circuitry includes decoding circuitry configured to decode the signal indicative of the data stored on the magnetic stripe.

A mobile device can include a support frame adapted to support one or more electronic components of the mobile device. The mobile device includes a chassis shell adapted to form an exterior of the mobile device. The mobile device can include a tray exposed on the exterior and having at least two functional components of the mobile device attached thereon serving at least two different functions (e.g., an electronic function, an input or output function, and/or a mechanical function to support a permanent or temporary component). The chassis shell exposes one of the functional components on the exterior. The tray is capable of sliding outward to further expose the other one of the functional components.

A card connector assembly includes: an electrical connector for being mounted behind an opening in a housing of an electronic device, the electrical connector including a cam groove, a slider, a biasing member, and a cam bar coupled between the cam groove and the slider; and a card tray insertable into the electrical connector through the housing opening for moving the slider from the ejected position to the inserted position; wherein the cam bar has a push portion; the card tray includes a latch, the latch being adapted to be stopped by the electronic device housing when the slider is at the inserted position; and when pushing the card tray to move the slider from the inserted position to the ejected position, the push portion of the cam bar releases the latch for the slider together with the card tray to move to the ejected position.

A recipient computing device can receive a speech utterance to be processed by speech recognition and segment the speech utterance into two or more speech utterance segments, each of which can be to one of a plurality of available speech recognizers. A first one of the plurality of available speech recognizers can be implemented on a separate computing device accessible via a data network. A first segment can be processed by the first recognizer and the results of the processing returned to the recipient computing device, and a second segment can be processed by a second recognizer implemented at the recipient computing device.
