Abstract: An audio accessory is configured to receive and store meta data from a media player, including the media asset identification and current play position. The audio accessory is configured to independently track the current play position of the media asset. When the audio accessory is disconnected from the first media player the audio accessory is configured to store the independently tracked current play position in memory. After the audio accessory is subsequently connected to a second media player, the second media player may retrieve the meta data from the audio accessory and use it to load the media asset on the second player and resume play from the stored current play position.

Abstract: Connector receptacles that may be space efficient and provide a direct connection to a flexible circuit board. One example may provide an electronic device having a receptacle including a recess formed in a housing of the electronic device. The recess may have a sidewall and a bottom surface portion, and the bottom surface portion may include one or more openings extending through the bottom surface portion from an external surface to an internal surface. One or more contacts formed on a flexible circuit board may be aligned with the one or more openings in the bottom surface portion. In this way, the receptacle may be space efficient and provide a direct connection to a flexible circuit board inside an electronic device. A cosmetic cap may be placed in the recess to obscure the existence of the connector receptacle.

Abstract translation: 连接器插座可能是空间有效的，并提供与柔性电路板的直接连接。 一个示例可以提供具有插座的电子设备，该插座包括形成在电子设备的壳体中的凹部。 凹部可以具有侧壁和底表面部分，并且底表面部分可以包括从外表面延伸穿过底表面部分到内表面的一个或多个开口。 形成在柔性电路板上的一个或多个触点可以与底表面部分中的一个或多个开口对齐。 以这种方式，插座可以是空间有效的并且提供与电子设备内部的柔性电路板的直接连接。 化妆品盖可以放置在凹槽中以遮蔽连接器插座的存在。

Abstract: A touch implement may include one or more controllers coupled to one or more haptic devices and one or more sensors that detect when the touch implement contacts a surface. The controller may provide haptic feedback via the haptic device(s) to simulate a texture of the surface when the touch implement is in contact. In some cases the texture may correspond to a texture displayed on the surface whereas in other implementations the texture may be unrelated to the appearance of the surface. In some implementations, the touch implement may detect information about the texture of the surface or information encoded in surface about texture or haptic feedback to provide and adjust haptic feedback accordingly. In other implementations, the touch implement may receive transmitted information regarding the texture or haptic feedback to provide and adjust haptic feedback accordingly.

Abstract translation: 触摸工具可以包括耦合到一个或多个触觉设备的一个或多个控制器以及检测触摸工具何时接触表面的一个或多个传感器。 控制器可以通过触觉装置提供触觉反馈，以在触摸工具接触时模拟表面的纹理。 在一些情况下，纹理可以对应于在表面上显示的纹理，而在其他实现中，纹理可能与表面的外观无关。 在一些实施方式中，触摸工具可以检测关于纹理的纹理或关于纹理或触觉反馈在表面上编码的信息的信息，以相应地提供和调整触觉反馈。 在其他实现中，触摸工具可以接收关于纹理或触觉反馈的传输信息，以相应地提供和调整触觉反馈。
