11412627 · 2022-08-09 · ·

A multipurpose accessory and storage system for an electronic device includes a housing member attaching to the electronic device and a charging station structured on the housing member to charge, arrest and dispense an accessory item. The accessory item includes a protective membrane housing a logic board, a power component, an image sensor, a transmitter configured to transfer a signal or data to the electronic device or the housing member and a software program stored in the logic board. The transmitter establishes a pairing or electronic connection between the electronic device or the housing member and the accessory item. The pairing or electronic connection enables content captured by the image sensor to be relayed to the electronic device to permit a user to view the content on the display of the electronic device and/or to control components and features of the accessory item via the electronic device.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING AN ANTENNA

An electronic device including an antenna implements a method for recognizing whether a case is attached to the electronic device by using the antenna. The electronic device is configured to attach to an electronic device cover which may include: a cover part configured to surround at least a portion of a housing of the electronic device or form at least a portion of a rear plate of the electronic device; and at least one conductive member configured to, when the electronic device is attached to the cover part, at least partially overlap at least two antennas arranged inside the electronic device and spaced apart from each other. A coupling between at least one of the at least two antennas and the at least one conductive member may be used to recognize whether the electronic device is attached to the cover part.
