Security system for power and display of consumer electronic devices

A security system for displaying a handheld electronic device, the security system comprising:

• a) a stand assembly mounted to a support;
• b) a housing removably mounted on a top portion of said stand assembly, said housing comprising a top surface adapted to receive the handheld electronic device;
• c) a sensor adapted to be coupled to the handheld electronic device, said sensor producing a detectable signal when the handheld electronic device is moved from an authorized state;
• d) a switch disposed on said top surface of said housing, wherein said switch is movable between a first position when the handheld electronic device is not in contact with said housing and a second position when the handheld electronic device is in contact with said housing;
• e) a output voltage controller coupled to said housing for controlling an output voltage to the handheld electronic device, wherein said output voltage can be set only when said switch is in said first position and wherein said output voltage is set to zero if said switch is not moved to said second position within a predetermined time after setting said output voltage;
• f) a power cable coupling said output voltage controller to the handheld electronic device;
• g) a satellite for receiving the detectable signal from said sensor, wherein said satellite is in electrical communication with said output voltage controller;
• h) a retractable cable coupled to said housing;
• i) a power supply coupled to said satellite;
• and
• j) a command module coupled to said satellite.

A security system for displaying a handheld electronic device engaged with a docking station, the security system comprising:

• a) a stand assembly mounted to a support;
• b) a housing removably mounted on a top portion of said stand assembly, said housing comprising a top surface adapted to receive the docking station;
• c) a sensor adapted to be coupled to the handheld electronic device, said sensor producing a detectable signal when the handheld electronic device is moved from an authorized state;
• d) a switch disposed on said top surface of said housing, wherein said switch is movable between a first position when the docking station is not in contact with said housing and a second position when the docking station is in contact with said housing;
• e) a output voltage controller coupled to said housing for controlling an output voltage to the docking station, wherein said output voltage can be set only when said switch is in said first position and wherein said output voltage is set to zero if said switch is not moved to said second position within a predetermined time after setting said output voltage;
• f) a power cable coupling said output voltage controller to the docking station;
• g) a satellite for receiving the detectable signal from said sensor, wherein said satellite is in electrical communication with said output voltage controller;
• h) a retractable cable coupled to said housing;
• i) a power supply coupled to said satellite;
• and
• j) a command module coupled to said satellite.
