主权项

1. A system comprising:
a portable electronic device; a cover sized and shaped for removable attachment to the portable electronic device, the cover having a movable component attached to an exterior thereof; a first antenna disposed on the cover and movable between a first position and a second position; and a first wireless controller coupled to the first antenna and disposed on the cover and configured to provide a first data via the first antenna to be wirelessly received by the portable electronic device for triggering a function of the portable electronic device, the first antenna and the first wireless controller are carried by the movable component to either the first position or the second position; wherein the portable electronic device comprises a second wireless controller, a processing unit coupled to the second wireless controller for triggering the function of the portable electronic device when the second wireless controller wirelessly receives the first data, a second antenna coupled to the second wireless controller, and a sensor coupled to the processing unit; and wherein the moveable component has a first end and a second end, the first wireless controller and the first antenna are disposed at the first end, when the moveable component is moved to a first position, the second wireless controller receives the first data via the second antenna from the first antenna, and when the moveable component is moved to a second position, the wireless controller does not receive the first data via the second antenna from the first antenna, and the second end of the moveable component is configured to block light entering the sensor.
