Description
様々な機能性をもたらすために、様々な異なるデバイスがモバイルコンピューティングデバイスに物理的に取り付けられることがある。例えば、コンピューティングデバイスを危害から保護するために、デバイスが、コンピューティングデバイスの少なくともディスプレイデバイスのためのカバーをもたらすように構成されることがある。コンピューティングデバイスに入力を提供する入力デバイス(例えば、トラックパッドを有するキーボード)のような他のデバイスが、モバイルコンピューティングデバイスに物理的に取り付けられることもある。しかしながら、物理的取付けをサポートするために利用された従来的な技法は、良好な保護をもたらしたり、取外しの容易さをもたらしたりしたが、両方をもたらさなかった。
図1は、ここに記載する機械的取付け及び取外し技法を利用するように動作可能である例示的な実施における環境100の例示である。例示的な環境100は、回転可能なヒンジ106(蝶番)を介して保護デバイス104に物理的及び通信的に連結されるコンピューティングデバイス102の例である。保護デバイス104は、例示するようなカバー、入力デバイス(例えば、キーボード)、出力デバイス等のような、様々な方法において構成されてよい。
図12は、ここに記載する様々な技法を実施してよい1つ又はそれよりも多くのコンピューティングシステム及び/又はデバイスを代表する例示的なコンピューティングデバイス1202を含む、例示的なシステムを、概ね1200で例示している。コンピューティングデバイス1202は、例えば、使用者の1つ又はそれよりも多くの手によって把持され且つ運搬されるように形成され且つ寸法取られるハウジングの使用を通じてモバイル構成(mobile configuration)を取るように構成されてよく、その例示的な実施例は、携帯電話、携帯ゲーム及び音楽デバイス、及びタブレットコンピュータを含むが、他の実施例も想定される。
例示的な実施を構造的構成及び/又は方法論的行為に特異な言語において記載したが、付属の請求項中に定められる実施は、記載する具体的な構成又は行為に必ずしも限定されない。むしろ、具体的な構成及び行為は、請求する構成を実施する例示的な形態として開示されている。
