Abstract

Systems and methods involve a case, adapter, and portable electronic device, the system includes at least one base; at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base; at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base; at least one post extending from the at least one base; and at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base. In addition, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Claims (61)

1. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one base includes at least one elevated base portion and at least one lower base portion positioned lower than the at least one elevated base portion, and

wherein the at least one lower base portion includes at least two lower base portions positioned on either side of the at least one elevated base portion.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact includes at least two posts positioned on either side of the at least one interface.

3. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one base includes at least one elevated base portion and at least one lower base portion positioned lower than the at least one elevated base portion, and

wherein the at least one base includes at least one bevel portion positioned between the at least one lower base portion and the at least one elevated base portion.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the at least one base includes at least one elevated base portion and at least one lower base portion positioned lower than the at least one elevated base portion.

5. The system of claim 3 wherein the at least one interface and the at least one post extend from the at least one elevated base portion.

6. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one slot includes at least one first slot and at least one second slot, and wherein the at least one base portion of the at least one first slot is positioned lower than the at least one base portion of the at least one second slot.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact conduct electrical current to provide electrical power.

8. The system of claim 6 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact conduct electrical current for communication.

9. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact adjustably extend from the at least one base.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact adjustably extend through spring-loaded bias from the at least one base.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact extend in lesser extent in a first direction when force is applied to the at least one electrically conductive contact in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

12. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one electrically conductive contact include electrically conductive pogo pins.

13. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one post includes a tapered shape.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the at least one post is electrically nonconductive.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein the at least slot includes a plurality of slots.

16. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one post includes a height of between one quarter inches and three quarters inches.

17. A system comprising:

at least one base;

at least two walls positioned on either side of the at least one base;

at least one slot defined at least in part by the at least two walls and the at least one base;

at least one post extending from the at least one base; and

at least one interface including at least one electrically conductive contact extending from the at least one base,

wherein the at least one post includes a height of at least three eighths inches.
