Device including reflective element to reflect directional wireless signals impinging thereon in a direction away from the device

A method of providing a signal to a receiver from a computing device, the method comprising:

• configuring the computing device in a first position, the computing device having a first and second portion of a body and a directional antenna, the directional antenna located in the first portion of the body, the first and second portion positioned approximately perpendicular to each other in the first position;
• transmitting a signal having a preferred direction in relation to the first portion of the body using the directional antenna, the preferred direction being away from the second portion of the body when the body is in the first position;
• configuring the computing device in a second position, the first and second portion positioned approximately parallel to each other in the second position;
• transmitting the signal in the preferred direction, the preferred direction being towards the second portion of the body when the body is in the second position;
• reflecting the signal with a reflector located in the second portion of the body;
• wherein the reflector is a power plane.

A computing device, the device comprising:

• a body of the computing device, the body having a first and second portion;
• a directional antenna, the directional antenna transmitting a signal having a preferred direction, the directional antenna located in the first portion of the body;
• a reflector for reflecting the signal, the reflector located in the second portion of the body, the body having a first configuration where the first portion is aligned with the second portion such that the preferred direction is away from the second portion and a second configuration where the first portion is aligned with the second portion such that the preferred direction is towards the second portion and the reflector redirects the signal away from the second portion;
• wherein the reflector is a power plane.
