Sensor System for Docking Station

摘要

Disclosed is a sensor system for a docking station including a receiving portion, a topside of the receiving portion for receiving an electronic device, a bottom side of the receiving portion, a first magnetic sensor on the bottom side of the receiving portion for detecting the presence of the electronic device. The sensor system can further include a second magnetic sensor on the bottom side of the receiving portion for detecting the presence of the electronic device. The first sensor can be positioned to correspond to the position of the first speaker when the electronic device is seated in the topside of the receiving portion and the second sensor can be positioned to correspond to the position of the second speaker when the electronic device is seated in the topside of the receiving portion. Sensor system can detect the presence and proper position of an electronic device in a docking station by having magnetic sensors to detect a magnetic field emitted by the speakers of the electronic device.
