==ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND ACCESSORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961129 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND ACCESSORY

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an electronic apparatus with detachable accessories that can be connected through a set of contacts. The contacts are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the attachment direction of the accessory. The contacts include first reference potential contacts connected to a reference potential and located at both ends of the contact array. Additionally, there are second reference potential contacts also connected to the reference potential, located at both ends of a subset of the contacts when the accessory is connected.

* The electronic apparatus has detachable accessories that can be connected through contacts.
* The contacts are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the attachment direction of the accessory.
* There are first reference potential contacts at both ends of the contact array, connected to a reference potential.
* When the accessory is connected, there are second reference potential contacts at both ends of a subset of the contacts, also connected to the reference potential.

== Potential Applications ==
* This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that require detachable accessories, such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
* It can be used in docking stations or charging stations where accessories need to be connected and disconnected easily.

== Problems Solved ==
* Simplifies the process of attaching and detaching accessories to electronic devices.
* Ensures proper electrical connection between the accessory and the electronic apparatus.
* Provides a clear reference potential for the connected accessory.

== Benefits ==
* Streamlines the user experience by making it easier to attach and detach accessories.
* Reduces the risk of improper electrical connections, which can lead to device malfunctions or damage.
* Ensures a reliable reference potential for the connected accessory, improving overall performance and stability.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic apparatus to which an accessory is to be detachably attached includes a plurality of contacts electrically connectable to the accessory and arranged in a first direction orthogonal to an attachment direction of the accessory. The plurality of contacts include first reference potential contacts that are contacts disposed at both ends of the plurality of contacts and are connected to a reference potential, and second reference potential contacts that are connected to the reference potential and are contacts disposed at both ends of part of the plurality of contacts other than the first reference potential contacts in a case where the accessory is connected to the part of the plurality of contacts.
