First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a first housing section detachably connected to a second housing section such that the second housing section can be connected to the first housing section in a first orientation and a second orientation;
the first and second housing sections being movable between first and second positions in both the first and second orientations;
an electrical interface configured to operatively connect circuits in the first and second housing sections when the first and second housing sections are joined together in both the first and second orientations; and
a wireless interface configured to operatively connect the circuits in the first and second housings sections when the first and second housing sections are separated.

Abstract
A wireless communication device comprises a first housing detachably connected to a second housing in a first orientation and a second orientation. An electrical connector connects circuitry in the first and second housings regardless of whether the first and second housings are joined together in the first orientation or in the second orientation. A wireless interface connects the circuitry in the first and second housings when the first and second housings are separated.
