Abstract: A magnetic attachment mechanism and method is described. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach at least two objects together in a preferred configuration without fasteners and without external intervention. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach an accessory device to an electronic device. The accessory device can be used to augment the functionality of usefulness of the electronic device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for providing haptic output on an electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes an actuator configured to move in a first direction. The electronic device also includes a substrate coupled to the actuator. When the actuator moves in the first direction, the substrate or a portion of the substrate, by virtue of being coupled to the actuator, moves in a second direction. In some implementations, the movement of the substrate is perpendicular to the movement of the actuator.

Abstract: Electronic device 1100, e.g. a tablet computer, has a display overlaid by an outer protective layer 1106 and a magnetic element. A cover 1300 for the device has a single piece flap comprising a first magnetic element 1326 in a first portion 1304 and a magnetic element 1324 in a second portion 1310 opposite to the first portion. The second portion is also pivotably attachable to the tablet. The magnetic element in the tablet and first magnetic element in the cover form a magnetic circuit through the outside protective layer 1106 to attach the flap to the outer layer. The cover forms a structure for supporting the tablet in an operational orientation when the flap is folded such that the first magnet 1326 and the magnetic element 1324 form a magnetic circuit. Magnetic sensor 118 detects when the flap is in contact to the layer and present visual content accordingly.

Abstract: A protective cover is described. The protective cover can be releasably attached to an electronic device having a display with a topmost protective layer and configured to present visual content. The protective cover comprises a flap. The flap 5 comprises a first surface and a second surface, the first surface configured to come into direct contact with the topmost protective layer of the display in a closed configuration. The flap also comprises a first magnet, and a second magnet separate from the first magnet, the first and second magnets disposed between the first and second surfaces. Only in the closed configuration, a first magnetic field from the first 10 magnet passes through the topmost protective layer and is detectable by the electronic device and a second magnetic field from the second magnet passes through the topmost protective layer and is suitable for magnetically attaching the flap to the electronic device at the topmost protective layer.
