US 11,237,840 B2 · All in one mobile computing device

Abstract

All in one mobile computing devices and methods performed by the devices. The all in one mobile computing device includes a processor, memory, and software instructions configured to be executed on the processor to enable the mobile computing device to perform various operations. The all in one device may include various wired and wireless interfaces that enable it to communicate with a wide-range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, personal computers, smart TVs, and others. The all in one device is capable of being remotely accessed when linked in communication with a second device, and is enabled to aggregate data from various user devices and cloud-based services to create unified data resources. Data that is accessed by the device may be synched with a cloud-based storage service to enable a user to access data from across a range of devices via the all in one device. The all in one device has a form factor that is approximately the size of a credit card, yet is capable of running a full-fledged desktop operating system.
