    Abstract: This invention is directed to an electronic device with an embedded authentication system for restricting access to device resources. The authentication system may include one or more sensors operative 5 to detect biometric information of a user. The sensors may be positioned in the device such that the sensors may detect appropriate biometric information as the user operates the device, without requiring the user to perform a step for providing the biometric information (e.g., embedding a fingerprint sensor in an input 0 mechanism instead of providing a fingerprint sensor in a separate part of the device housing). In some embodiments, the authentication system may be operative to detect a visual or temporal pattern of inputs to authenticate a user. In response to authenticating, a user may access restricted files, applications (e.g., applications 5 purchased by the user), or settings (e.g., application settings such as contacts or saved game profile).

    Abstract: Electronic devices are provided that have components. A housing protrusion may be interposed between a display cover layer and display components. A button may have a button member. A support structure for a dome switch in the button may have a screw hole. A housing may have screw holes through which a screw passes. The screw may also pass through the screw hole of the support structure to hold the switch structure near the button member. A clip may have a spring. A metal plate may prevent the clip from becoming worn by the spring. A display may be mounted on a ledge in a device housing. The ledge may have gaps with supports and removed corners.

    Abstract: Dockingstation mit einem beweglichen Steckverbinder, der langlebiger ist. Zum Beispiel wenn ein tragbares elektronisches Gerät, das mit dem Steckverbinder gekoppelt ist, nach vorne gedrückt wird, bewegt sich der Steckverbinder (z. B. rotiert er), und reduziert dadurch die Auswirkung der Belastung, die durch solch einen Anstoß resultieren. Der drehbare Steckverbinder kann ausgerichtet sein, um das tragbare elektronische Gerät in einer aufrechten Position zu halten, sodass das elektronische Gerät durch eine hintere Bezugsfläche der Dockingstation gestützt ist, und dadurch übermäßige Belastung auf den drehbaren Steckverbinder in der aufrechten Position verhindern und die Vorwärtsbewegung hemmen. Der drehbare Steckverbinder kann sich teilweise unterhalb einer Außenhülle der Dockingstation befinden und auf der Außenhülle drehen, und dadurch einen möglichen Schaden auf Teile unterhalb der Außenhülle reduzieren. Der drehbare Steckverbinder kann sich auch zurückziehen, wenn es rotiert wird, und dadurch eine Kraft, die den Steckverbinder bei einer Position der vollständigen Vorwärtsrotation brechen kann entfernen.

    Abstract: Befestigungsmechanismen, die eingesetzt werden können, um Zubehörvorrichtungen an elektronischen Vorrichtungen zu befestigen, werden bereitgestellt. Der Befestigungsmechanismus kann einen verschiebbaren Pfosten beinhalten, der zwischen eingesetzten und gespeicherten Konfigurationen bewegbar ist. In der eingesetzten Konfiguration kann ein Zubehör an dem verschiebbaren Pfosten befestigt werden, wohingegen in der gespeicherten Konfiguration der verschiebbare Pfosten zumindest teilweise nicht zugänglich sein kann. Die Bewegung des verschiebbaren Pfostens kann durch Nockenoberflächen, eine Feder und ein Gleitstück gesteuert werden. Die Feder kann kegelförmig sein und kann eingerichtet sein, um flach zusammengefaltet zu werden, um die Höhe des Befestigungsmechanismus zu reduzieren.

    Abstract: Docking stations with a moveable connector that is more durable are provided. For example, when a portable electronic device, coupled with the connector, is pushed forward, the connector is designed to move (e.g. rotate), thereby reducing an impact of strain resulting from such a push. The rotatable connector may be biased to keep the portable electronic device in an upright position such that the electronic device is supported by a rear reference surface of the docking station, thereby preventing undue strain on the rotatable connector in the upright position and inhibiting movement forward. The rotatable connector may be partly below an outer shell of the docking station, and pivot at the outer shell, thereby reducing possible damage to parts below the outer shell. The rotatable connector may also retract when rotated, thereby removing a force that can break the connector at a position of full rotation forward.
