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.
