    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system, and a device for power management in a portable media delivery system.SOLUTION: A consumer electronic product includes a media player adapted to process a selected one of a plurality of digital media files stored internally and a media delivery accessory unit detachedly connected to the media player and adapted to broadcast the processed digital media file. When the consumer electronic product is in a DC mode, the consumer electronic product controls a transfer of an amount of charge between the media delivery accessory and the media player. In one embodiment, the amount of charge is sufficient for the consumer electronic product to operate for a predetermined amount of time. In another embodiment, the amount of charge is sufficient to maximize an amount of time for which the media player and media delivery accessory can operate.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring contacts of a first connector includes detecting mating of a second connector with the first connector and in response to the detection, sending a command over one of the contacts and waiting for a response to the command. If a valid response to the command is received, the system determines the orientation of the second connector. The response also includes configuration information for contacts in the second connector. The system then configures some of the other contacts of the first connector based on the determined orientation and configuration information of the contacts of the second connector.

    Abstract: A retail electronic product demonstration fixture for demonstrating portable electronic devices. The product demonstration fixture may include an exhibition portion and a base portion. A portable electronic device offered for sale may be affixed to the exhibition portion. The base portion may include an electronic display, an auxiliary battery, and an auxiliary controller. The auxiliary controller may direct power from the auxiliary battery to the electronic display upon determining that a battery within the electronic display has fallen below a particular selected level. Similarly the auxiliary controller may direct power from the auxiliary battery to the portable electronic device offered for sale upon determining that a battery within the portable electronic device has fallen below a selected level.

    Abstract: A dual orientation connector having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts formed at the second major side. Each individual contact in the first plurality of contacts is electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts. In some embodiments contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are directly opposite each other are coupled together. In some other embodiments, contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are in a cater cornered relationship with each other are coupled together. The first plurality of contacts are symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab is shaped to have 180 degree symmetry so that it can be inserted and operatively coupled to a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two insertion orientations.

    Abstract: An unpolarized multiple orientation plug connector (100) having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts (106(1)..106(8)) carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts (106(1)..106(8)) formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts (106(1)..106(8)) formed at the second major side. Each individual contact (106(1)..106(8)) in the first plurality of contacts is electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts (106(1)..106(8)). The connector (100) further comprises at least a first pair of data contacts (106(2), 106(3)), an ID contact (106(8)) and a circuitry (108a, 108b) configured to participate in a handshaking algorithm that communicates the communication protocol used by the first pair of data contacts (106(2), 106(3)) over the ID contact (106(8)).

    Abstract: Un conector de orientación dual que tiene una saliente de conector con un primer y segundo lados opuestos principales y una pluralidad de contactos eléctricos llevados por la saliente de conector. La pluralidad de contactos incluye un primer conjunto de contactos externos formados en el primer lado principal y un segundo conjunto de contactos externos formados en el segundo lado principal. Cada contacto individual en la primera pluralidad de contactos se conecta eléctricamente dentro de la saliente o cuerpo a un contacto correspondiente en la segunda pluralidad de contactos. En algunas modalidades, los contactos en la primera y segunda pluralidades de contactos que están directamente opuestos entre sí se acoplan en conjunto. En algunas otras modalidades, los contactos en la primera y segunda pluralidades de contactos que se encuentran en relación en diagonal entre sí se acoplan en conjunto. La primera pluralidad de contactos se espacia simétricamente con la segunda pluralidad de contactos, y la saliente de conector se moldea para tener simetría de 180 grados a fin de que pueda insertarse y acoplarse de manera operativa a un conector de receptáculo correspondiente en cualquiera de dos orientaciones de inserción.
