Abstract:
In an aspect, a device-and-clip system is provided for an electronic device. The system includes an external device that cooperates with at least one electronic device feature on the rear face to perform a selected function. The system includes a clip including a first clip arm having an arm marker thereon and which is engageable with the front face of the electronic device and a second clip arm that is engageable with the rear face of the electronic device. The system further includes an application that is executable to instruct the electronic device to display a screen marker on the display screen in a selected position and in a selected orientation such that positioning and orienting of the first clip arm on the display screen of the smart phone with the arm marker aligned with the position and orientation of the screen marker positions the external device in alignment with the at least one electronic device feature.

Claim (Index 1):
A device-and-clip system for an electronic device having a front face with a display screen thereon, a rear face opposite to the front face, and an edge between the front and rear faces, the device-and-clip system comprising:\n an external device that is separate from the electronic device and which has an external device feature, wherein the external device is cooperable with the electronic device when the external device feature is aligned with an electronic device feature on the rear face to perform a selected function; a clip including a first clip arm having an arm marker thereon and which is engageable with the front face; a second clip arm that is engageable with the rear face, wherein the first and second clip arms are connected to one another and are movable between an open position to permit removal of the clip from the electronic device and a closed position in which the first and second clip arms clamp the electronic device, wherein the external device is mounted to the clip; and wherein the clip has a clip limit surface that is engageable with the edge of the electronic device to determine a reach of the external device feature on the rear face of the electronic device, wherein the clip limit surface is positioned such that, for a first type of electronic device in which the electronic device feature is positioned at a first distance from the edge, the clip is mountable to the first type of electronic device with the external device feature aligned with the electronic device feature on the rear face such that the clip limit surface is spaced from the edge, and for a second type of electronic device in which the electronic device feature is positioned at a second distance from the edge that is different than the first distance, the clip is mountable to the second type of electronic device with the external device feature aligned with the electronic device feature on the rear face of the second type of electronic device.
