Abstract
In some examples, the disclosure describes a device that includes a stand enclosure that includes a first end to interact with a work surface and a second end to be coupled to a display device, a plurality of input ports coupled to the stand enclosure, and a connection interface coupled to the second end of the stand enclosure to allow communication between the display device and the plurality of inputs when the connection interface is coupled to the display device.
Claims15
A stand device, comprising:
- a stand enclosure that includes a first end to interact with a work surface and a second end to be coupled to a display device;
- a plurality of inputs coupled to the stand enclosure;
- and
- a connection interface coupled to the second end of the stand enclosure to allow an electrical connection between the display device and the plurality of inputs when the connection interface is coupled to the display device.
The device of claim 5, wherein the connection interface is parallel with the surface of the stand when the connection interface is in contact with the surface of the stand
The device of claim 6, wherein the surface of the stand includes a recessed portion to receive the connection interface when the connection interface is in contact with the surface of the stand.
A computing device, comprising:
- an enclosure that includes a first side with a display device and a second side with a first connection interface;
- a recessed portion of the second side of the enclosure to receive a second connection interface of a stand, wherein the first connection interface is positioned within the recessed portion;
- and
- a processor to receive communication signals from a peripheral device connected to an input/output port embedded in the stand through the first connection interface.
A system, comprising:
- a tablet computing device that includes:
- a recessed portion on a rear surface of the tablet computing device;
- a first pogo pin connection interface positioned within the recessed portion;
- and
- a ferromagnetic material positioned at the recessed portion;
- and
- a stand that includes;
- a second pogo pin connection interface to interact with the first pogo pin connection interface;
- an enclosure to interact with a work surface to position the tablet computing device at a particular angle on the work surface;
- and
- a plurality of input/output ports embedded within the stand communicatively coupled to the second pogo pin connection interface.
