SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A FRAMELESS MODULAR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457723 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A FRAMELESS MODULAR ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present technology is about a frameless modular multi-functional electronic device. It consists of a base module with a processor and multiple component modules that can be connected directly in contact with the base module. The modules have connecting members to align and mate the component modules together, and an electrical interface to transmit digital information and energy between the modules. When assembled, the component modules form the frameless modular multi-functional electronic device.
- The electronic device is modular, allowing for easy customization and upgrading.
- The base module contains a processor, providing the device with computing capabilities.
- Multiple component modules can be connected directly to the base module.
- The component modules can be slidably aligned and mated together using connecting members.
- An electrical interface enables the transmission of digital information and energy between the modules.
- The component modules can be interchangeably connected to each other, allowing for flexible configurations.
- When assembled, the modules form a frameless multi-functional electronic device.
Potential Applications
- Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches.
- Industrial equipment or machinery that requires modular and customizable electronic components.
- Medical devices that can be easily upgraded or modified based on specific patient needs.
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can be easily expanded or modified as new technologies emerge.
Problems Solved
- Traditional electronic devices are often difficult to upgrade or customize.
- Fixed designs limit the functionality and adaptability of electronic devices.
- Replacing or repairing components in traditional devices can be costly and time-consuming.
- Limited modularity restricts the ability to incorporate new technologies or features into existing devices.
Benefits
- Easy customization and upgrading of electronic devices.
- Flexible configurations and interchangeability of component modules.
- Cost-effective maintenance and repair by replacing specific modules instead of the entire device.
- Enhanced adaptability to incorporate new technologies and features into existing devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present technology discloses a frameless modular multi-functional electronic device. The electronic device includes a base module with a processor and multiple component modules, at least one of which is configured to connect directly in contact with the base module. The modules each include a connecting member to slidably align and mate the component modules together, and an electrical interface to transmit digital information and energy between connected base and component modules. The component modules are interchangeably connected directly in contact with each other and, when assembled, form the frameless modular multi-functional electronic device.
