First Claim
1. A ruggedized mobile computing system, comprising:
- a mobile computing device enclosed in a casing, the casing having arectangular front face incorporating a touchscreen including a screen protector fashioned of tempered glass having a hardness of at least 8 H and including an oleophobic exterior layer, the screen protector adhered to the touchscreen;
a rear face opposite the front face; and
four exterior edges terminating in four rounded corners;
the mobile computing device configured with one or more processors and a memory and includingat least one wireless transceiver configured to establish a wireless link to at least one remote device;
at least one camera coupled to the one or more processors;
at least one sensor coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one sensor including at least one position sensor;
one or more peripheral ports positioned in the four exterior edges;
an inner housing configured to proximately and removably enclose the rear face and the four exterior edges, the inner housing fashioned of a flexible material and includingfour rubberized cushions configured to enclose the four rounded corners; and
one or more apertures configured to expose one or more of the at least one camera, the at least one sensor, and the one or more peripheral ports; and
an outer housing configured to proximately and removably enclose the inner housing, the outer housing fashioned of a molded rigid material and includingone or more protective panels configured to hingedly enclose the one or more apertures; and

Abstract
A ruggedized mobile computing device is enclosed by a multi-layer housing providing protection of the device and its individual components (e.g., processors, sensors, touchscreens, peripheral devices and ports) from wear and tear, impact shock, and extreme weather conditions. The mobile device may be rechargeable via a resonant charging receiver connectable to a companion resonant charging transmitter housed in a vehicle cradle or mount, to which the mobile device can be removably mounted for hands-free use or use in a motor vehicle. The mobile device may incorporate scanners, cameras, sensors, and other peripheral devices, and further connect to additional external scanners, sensors, or input devices through its peripheral ports.
