Abstract
A system comprises: a first electronic device; a mobile electronic device operable to detect a proximity of the first electronic device; a data store containing an inventory of electronic devices associated with a user including the first electronic device and a second electronic device; and a processor in communication with the data store. The processor is operable to: receive an indication, from the mobile electronic device, of the proximity of the mobile electronic device with the first electronic device; responsive to the receiving, process the inventory to identify a hybrid electronic device constructible, from the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the mobile electronic device, by magnetically inter-attaching at least two of the devices using magnetic connectors in the respective devices; and send a user notification indicative of the hybrid electronic device. The user notification may be sent for display at the mobile electronic device.
