Abstract:
A variety of improvements to docking systems for portable computing devices are disclosed. For example, improved techniques for maintaining a data connection between a base portion of the docking system and a case portion of the docking system are disclosed. As an example, the docking system can include improved magnetics that help maintain the data connection between the base portion and the case portion, even during rotational movements of the case portion relative to the base portion.

Claim (Index 29):
An apparatus for use in a docking system, the apparatus comprising:\n a base mount adapted for releasably docking with a case enclosure, the base mount comprising (1) a circuit, (2) a plurality of base mount contacts, and (3) a magnet, the base mount contacts connected to the circuit; wherein the base mount is rotatable relative to an axis; wherein the base mount contacts are positioned to create a physical connection between the base mount contacts and a plurality of contacts on the case enclosure when the case enclosure is in a docked position with the base mount; wherein the circuit is configured for data communication with circuitry in the case enclosure through an interface that includes a data communication connection through the physical connection; and wherein the magnet provides a magnetic attraction with a metallic component of the case enclosure when the case enclosure is in the docked position, wherein the magnetic attraction holds the case enclosure in place with the base mount.
