A device for capturing rendered text is described. The device incorporates one or more visual sensors that receive visual information as a part of capturing rendered text. The visual sensors are collectively capable of capturing both text that is permanently printed on a page, and text that is displayed transitorily on a dynamic device. The device further incorporates a visual information disposition subsystem for disposing of visual information received by the visual sensors. The device further incorporates a package that bears the visual sensors and the visual information disposition subsystem, and is suitable to be held in a human hand.

An image forming apparatus includes a docking unit configured to mount a plurality of portable display apparatuses therein, a communication interface configured to receive data, and a processor configured to control to store the received data in at least one of the plurality of portable display apparatuses.

A serial protocol based Docking device having a single set of user peripherals supports multiple removable host computers having different video output types and different operating systems. The device provides mouse tracking function that switches the keyboard and mouse to the different host computers when the cursor is moved by the user across the respective display boundary. The docking device provides file-sharing and cut-and-paste functions across the different docked host computers. Laptops, tabletops as well as Smartphones, tablets and other forms of portable platforms are supported. Dragging an item from a display designated to a first host computer to a display designated to a second host computer performs moving or copying the item from the first host to the second host.

In an image output apparatus for outputting an image supplied from an image supply apparatus, the image supply apparatus and the image output apparatus are connected wirelessly and send and receive data. The state of the wireless connection is determined and the image to be output is changed in accordance with the determined state of the connection.

A method for providing enhanced functionalities by an electronic device includes detecting whether a charging stand is attached to or is in proximity to the electronic device; automatically performing a pairing procedure by the electronic device and the charging stand to pair the electronic device with the charging stand when it has been detected that the charging stand is attached to or is in proximity to the electronic device; and operating in a driving recorder mode by the electronic device to provide video recording and positioning functionalities when the pairing procedure has been successful.

This disclosure describes a system including an imaging device. The imaging device includes an imaging unit with a lens that focuses light onto an image sensor that produces image data, wherein the image data is only stored by the imaging device for transfer to and processing by an external device. The imaging device includes a control interface that provides commands to the imaging unit. The system also includes a mount with a wall that releasably secures the imaging device and provides access to the control interface and a securing structure that secures the mount to a variety of locations.
