ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DETACHABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing forming at least a portion of an electronic device exterior, a socket disposed inside the housing, a tray and a storage medium. The storage medium includes a first terminal surface with a terminal and a second terminal surface with a terminal. The first and second terminal surfaces face away from one another. The storage medium is seatable on the tray.. The socket includes a plurality of first conductive contacts that face the first terminal surface and come into contact with at least some of a plurality of pins provided on the storage medium and a plurality of second conductive contacts that face the second terminal surface and come into contact with at least some of the plurality of pins of the storage medium in a state of being disposed not to come into contact with the plurality of first conductive contacts.
Storage medium tray structure and electronic device comprising same
An electronic device is provided that includes a housing having a first side with an insertion hole. The electronic device also includes a first tray configured to accommodate at least a subscriber identity module (SIM). The first tray is inserted into the housing through the insertion hole and is removably accommodated within the housing. The electronic device further includes a second tray configured to accommodate at least a memory card. The second tray is inserted into the housing through the insertion hole and is removably accommodated within the housing. In a state of being accommodated within the housing, the first tray and the second tray are at least partially disposed on the same plane, and at least a portion of the second tray is exposed to an outer surface of the housing while closing the insertion hole.
Controller and system
According to one embodiment, a controller may include a user interface that is operable to receive input from a user to control an electronic system to which the controller may be coupled either directly or indirectly. The user interface may comprise an interface housing to which the user interface is coupled, the interface housing having a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion of which may contain the user interface. A controller housing may be coupled to the rear portion of the interface housing, the controller housing having a smaller perimeter than the interface housing. The controller housing may be comprised of at least one sidewall and a rear wall. At least one magnet may be coupled to the controller housing. The magnet(s) may be operable to hold the controller in position using magnetic force when the controller housing is inserted into a mounting receptacle.

Electronic device
An electronic device includes a card interface and a processing module. The card interface is electrically connected to the processing module, and a SIM card or a memory card may be inserted into the card interface. The card interface includes 8 springs, where N>1; when a memory card is inserted into the card interface, the memory card is electrically connected to the processing module; and when a SIM card is inserted into the card interface, the SIM card is electrically connected to the processing module, and one metal pin of the SIM card is electrically connected to a first spring in the N springs and one spring adjacent to the first spring. The processing module is configured to determine, based on at least a level of the first spring, that an inserted card is a SIM card or a memory card.
User-Installable Wireless Communications Module
An installable wireless communications module for a media processing device includes: a body configured for placement into a chamber of the media processing device, the body including an alignment feature configured to engage with a mating feature within the chamber; an electrical interface supported on the body and configured to engage with a connector of the media processing device disposed within the chamber; a communications controller supported on the body and connected with the electrical interface; an antenna support extending from the body and configured for receipt in a channel extending from the chamber of the media processing device; and an antenna affixed to the antenna support and electrically connected to the controller.

Cellular service account transfer for accessory wireless devices
This Application describes efficient cellular service transfer mechanisms to move cellular services that are based on cellular service credentials, e.g., eSIMs, between accessory wireless devices under various scenarios, including in some embodiments transfer of multiple eSIMs. The first and second accessory wireless devices and the primary wireless device are associated with a common user account. Transfer of credentials for cellular service access can occur between two accessory wireless devices via the primary wireless device, where the primary wireless device and the accessory wireless devices interact with applicable network-based servers.
