ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198661 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electronic apparatus with an external unit that can be attached to and detached from a main body unit. It includes a main body connector with input and output contacts for driving a device in the external unit, as well as a loop-back unit that connects these contacts to the external unit.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Electronic apparatus with attachable/detachable external unit
- Main body connector with input and output contacts for driving external device
- Loop-back unit connecting contacts to external unit
- Ground contact between output and input contacts
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various electronic devices that require attachable external units, such as portable speakers, external storage devices, or additional sensors for data collection.
Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of easily connecting and disconnecting external units to electronic devices without the need for complex wiring or setup.
Benefits:
- Simplifies the process of attaching external units to electronic devices
- Allows for quick and easy customization of electronic devices with different external units
- Reduces the risk of damage to devices during attachment/detachment of external units
Commercial Applications: The technology could have commercial applications in the consumer electronics industry, particularly in the development of modular electronic devices that can be easily customized by users.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the ground contact between the output and input contacts improve the functionality of the electronic apparatus? 2. What are the potential limitations of using a loop-back unit in connecting the output and input contacts in this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic apparatus provided with an external unit being attachable to and detachable from a main body unit, includes: a main body connector attached to the main body unit and including an input contact of a driving circuit to drive a driving device for the external unit, and an output contact from a first power source; and a loop-back unit including a path to connect the output contact and the input contact to the external unit, in which the main body connector includes a ground contact between the output contact and the input contact.
