| Title: | LANYARD FOR HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE | |||||||||||
| Abstract: | A lanyard for carrying or wearing portable electronic devices is disclosed. The lanyard includes a neck cord (12) having data carrying capabilities. The lanyard also includes a harness (20) that physically holds and operatively couples the portable electronic device to the neck cord. When a portable electronic device is coupled to the harness, the portable electronic device can be worn around a neck and communicate with an input and/or output (I/O) device (21) (e.g., earphones) operatively coupled to the data carrying cord. That is, the I/O device can send data through the neck cord to the portable electronic device and/or receive data being carried by the neck cord from the portable electronic device. The lanyard facilitates greater ease in wearing portable electronic devices and enables better approaches for managing wires between portable electronic devices and peripheral I/O devices. | |||||||||||
