This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18213146 titled 'CASE FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A case is designed to hold a portable electronic device and a battery device that can be connected to an external device. The case minimizes the need for separate devices by holding both the portable electronic device and the battery device. The battery device can charge the external device while inside the case, and the case can communicate with the battery device.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • A case that holds a portable electronic device and a battery device.
  • The case can hold the portable electronic device continuously and receive the battery device when the user wants to group them together.
  • The battery device can charge an external device while inside the case.
  • The case can engage with the battery device to hold it securely.
  • The case can also communicate with the battery device.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phone cases that include a built-in battery pack for extended battery life.
  • Smartwatch cases that can charge the smartwatch while being worn.
  • Tablet cases that provide additional power for the tablet and other connected devices.
  • Portable gaming device cases that include a battery pack for longer gaming sessions.

Problems Solved

  • Minimizes the number of separate devices carried by a user.
  • Provides a convenient way to charge external devices without the need for additional chargers or cables.
  • Ensures that the battery device is securely held within the case to prevent loss or damage.
  • Allows for easy communication between the case and the battery device.

Benefits

  • Simplifies the user's device-carrying experience by combining multiple devices into one case.
  • Provides extended battery life for portable electronic devices.
  • Enables on-the-go charging of external devices without the need for additional accessories.
  • Offers a secure and convenient way to store and transport the battery device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A case can facilitate operation with a portable electronic device and a battery device that can be connected to another, external device. To minimize the number of separate devices carried by a user, a battery device can be held within the case that also holds the portable electronic device. The case can hold the portable electronic device continually and receive the battery device when the user wants to group the devices together. The battery pack can provide charging power to the external device (e.g., wearable device) while held within the case. The case can provide engagement with the battery device to retain it and/or a communication link to communicate with it.
