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 1):
A docking system comprising:\n a case enclosure for receiving a portable computer, the case enclosure comprising (1) a first circuit, (2) a plurality of case enclosure contacts, and (3) a metallic element, the case enclosure contacts connected to the first circuit; a base mount, the base mount comprising (1) a second circuit, (2) a plurality of base mount contacts, and (3) a magnet, the base mount contacts connected to the second circuit; wherein the base mount is rotatable relative to an axis; wherein the case enclosure is adapted to releasably dock with the base mount in a docked position, wherein the docked position includes a physical connection between the base mount contacts and a plurality of the case enclosure contacts; wherein the first and second circuits are configured for data communication with each other through an interface that includes a data communication connection through the physical connection; and wherein the docked position further includes a magnetic attraction between the magnet and the metallic element that holds the case enclosure in place with the base mount.
