本發明係有關於用於電子通信設備的適配器，更具體地使電子通信設備具有附加功能的適配器。 The present invention relates to an adapter for an electronic communication device, and more particularly to an electronic communication device having an additional function.

一般來說，設備限於其原始硬體提供的一些功能。這限制了設備的實用性、靈活性和定制能力。一些移動設備可以包含位於後側有效固定聯接外的機械聯接裝置。 In general, devices are limited to some of the features provided by their original hardware. This limits the usability, flexibility and customization capabilities of the device. Some mobile devices may include mechanical couplings located outside of the effective fixed coupling on the rear side.

例如，公開號為DE 195 20 947 A1的專利申請以一般的方式描述了個人電腦，該個人計算機具有字母數位鍵盤和顯示器的翻蓋式可攜式電腦的設計並且其被設計為結合電 話、無線或資料傳送設備功能的電信設備。另外，該個人電腦具有用於存儲卡的介面。電腦的顯示器和鍵盤與在其縱向側面的樞軸相連接並且在閉合位置彼此重疊。 For example, the patent application published as DE 195 20 947 A1 describes a personal computer in a general manner, which has the design of a flip-type portable computer with an alphanumeric keyboard and display and which is designed to be combined with electricity Telecommunications equipment that functions as a voice, wireless or data transfer device. In addition, the personal computer has an interface for a memory card. The display and keyboard of the computer are connected to the pivots on their longitudinal sides and overlap each other in the closed position.

例如，被設計為與通用設備相同尺寸的電源被設置為與電腦部分的後側齊平。 For example, a power source designed to be the same size as a general-purpose device is set to be flush with the rear side of the computer portion.

這樣，缺少針對用戶的個人需求的適應性(定制能力)是現有移動設備表現出的缺點。使用者被迫選擇擴展部件並且例如根據所謂的USB標準經由外部介面通過機械技術、電氣技術和信號技術將它們連接至移動設備。然後，使用者必須將適合於擴展部件的軟體通過例如移動設備的軟體驅動載入到移動設備的處理器中。但是，缺點還在於安裝麻煩，用戶必須處理兩個機械上不同的設備。 Thus, the lack of adaptability (customization capabilities) to the individual needs of users is a drawback that existing mobile devices exhibit. The user is forced to select the expansion components and connect them to the mobile device via mechanical interfaces, electrical technology and signal technology via external interfaces, for example according to the so-called USB standard. The user must then load the software suitable for the extension component into the processor of the mobile device via a software driver such as a mobile device. However, the disadvantage is that the installation is cumbersome and the user has to deal with two mechanically different devices.

個人電腦能夠通過擴展卡來滿足用戶的個人需求，由此升級為提供額外的功能，擴展卡堅固地連接至電腦也可被移除，並且它們大部分在設備殼體內部開槽、伸出或***到主機板中。 Personal computers can be extended to meet the individual needs of the user, thereby being upgraded to provide additional functionality, the expansion card can be removed securely to the computer, and most of them are slotted, extended or inside the device housing Insert into the motherboard.

例如所謂的PDA和智慧型電話這些移動通信設備能夠被放置在支援器上或支持器中，並使用電纜連線或通過無線裝置對接至擴展部件的介面。所有的支援器都共有如下特徵，即它們在由用戶確定的具體位置支撐移動設備或擴展部件以及它們都容納移動設備或擴展部件。作為選擇，支援器還能為移動設備或其它外部介面提供電源。 Mobile communication devices such as so-called PDAs and smart phones can be placed on a support or in a holder and wired to or connected to the interface of the expansion unit via a wireless device. All of the supporters share the feature that they support mobile devices or expansion components at specific locations determined by the user and that they all house mobile devices or expansion components. Alternatively, the supporter can also provide power to mobile devices or other external interfaces.

本領域技術人員將理解，智慧型電話能根據客戶需求提供特定硬體定制，這種硬體適應性可分為以下三種類 型：通過無線介面擴展、通過電介面擴展和無源元件作為殼體、可替換殼體蓋和保護套筒。 Those skilled in the art will appreciate that smart phones can provide specific hardware customization according to customer needs, and the hardware adaptability can be divided into the following three categories. Type: through the wireless interface expansion, through the electrical interface expansion and passive components as the housing, replaceable housing cover and protective sleeve.

無線介面例如藍牙、WiFi、紅外線和其它無線介面不傳輸能量或功率，因此需要二次電池或第二充電單元。 Wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared, and other wireless interfaces do not transfer energy or power, thus requiring a secondary battery or a second charging unit.

電介面例如經由耳機插頭、USB、火線或其它電介面的常常連接於大尺寸、外置、笨拙的和機械不穩定的附加裝置，特別是通過電纜連線的附加裝置，因此存在插頭斷開的風險。 The electrical interface is often connected to large, external, awkward and mechanically unstable attachments, for example via earphone plugs, USB, live wires or other electrical interfaces, in particular via cable attachments, so that the plug is disconnected. risk.

智慧型電話在前側具備顯示幕和硬鍵盤或軟鍵盤。其它表面或者很少使用或完全不用和閒置。例如，許多智慧型電話後側除了只具有攝像頭和閃光燈以外幾乎不使用。 The smart phone has a display screen and a hard or soft keyboard on the front side. Other surfaces are either rarely used or not used at all. For example, the back side of many smart phones is rarely used except for cameras and flash only.

移動設備普遍被放置在保護套中。保護套的目的是保護移動設備，防止機械、物理、化學或電磁損壞，保護套保護移動設備的整體或至少一部分。 Mobile devices are commonly placed in protective cases. The purpose of the protective cover is to protect the mobile device from mechanical, physical, chemical or electromagnetic damage, and the protective cover protects the entire or at least a portion of the mobile device.

根據上述背景技術，本發明的目的是為移動設備提供一種技術簡單的擴展選擇，而同時在擴展的情況下改善其操控。具體地，本文提供了一種移動設備和至少一個擴展部件，上述擴展部件將給移動設備擴展使用者期望的功能，並且仍保持整個陣列的簡單操控。 In light of the above background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile device with a technically simple extended option while at the same time improving its handling in the extended case.

優選的剛性聯接還指設備部件的聯接區段，特別是可自調節的設備部件，相對於移動設備或其聯接的部件被固定地附接。由此，形成物理單元，該物理單元基於其形式作為一個統一的集成部件並且可移動。這防止了由於設備部件和移動設備之間的電纜連線造成空間上未定界的伴發運動。 A preferred rigid coupling also refers to a coupling section of a device component, in particular a self-adjustable device component, that is fixedly attached relative to the mobile device or a component to which it is coupled. Thereby, a physical unit is formed which is based on its form as a unified integrated component and is movable. This prevents spatially unbounded companion motion due to cable connections between the device components and the mobile device.

因此，所討論的設備部件例如是具有可替換功能部件的標準後側殼體蓋，上述可替換功能部件擴展移動設備至少一個附加功能，特別是硬體功能，並且該功能不僅僅局限於可從後方拿取的部件，例如電池或SIM卡(即，使用者識別模組卡)。 Thus, the device component in question is, for example, a standard rear side housing cover with replaceable functional components that extend at least one additional function, in particular a hardware function, of the mobile device, and the functionality is not limited only to A component that is taken rearward, such as a battery or SIM card (ie, a user identification module card).

介面設置可連接具有獨立結構的至少一個附加設備，即功能部件，並且可沿至少一個方向交換信號或資料。 The interface arrangement can connect at least one additional device, ie a functional component, having a separate structure and can exchange signals or data in at least one direction.

根據設計，能夠以類比或數位形式傳送信號和資料。這不僅有關傳送資訊或測量值，而且有關傳送檔和/或源文本，例如軟體或驅動器，這允許移動設備的處理器訪問並使用聯接的設備部件。另外，如果需要，介面能夠傳輸電流或電壓。 According to the design, signals and data can be transmitted in analogy or digital form. This is not only about transmitting information or measurements, but also about transmission files and/or source text, such as software or drives, which allows the processor of the mobile device to access and use the connected device components. In addition, the interface can carry current or voltage if needed.

不用無源後側蓋，移動設備可由設備部件擴展， 使得移動設備裝配額外有源硬體部件和/或軟體功能。 Without the passive rear side cover, the mobile device can be extended by the device components. Enables the mobile device to be equipped with additional active hardware components and/or software functions.

所討論的移動設備是獨立地全功能設備。此移動設備能夠通過設備部件來實現擴展，即通過與部件聯接的模式來實現附加的功能和/或硬體。有益地是，功能部件不再需要分別通過位於移動設備外側的外部介面與移動設備結合，上述外部介面例如是基於USB標準並運用機械技術、電氣技術、信號技術和IT方面技術連接的介面，這些功能部件和/或介面不必從移動設備的殼體側凸出來，也不必隨身攜帶鬆散的線纜來連接，也不必通過有缺陷傾向的無線電來連接。在聯接模式下，提供緊湊單元，該緊湊單元確保移動設備與擴展部件是一個單個集成單元。具體來說，這允許移動設備通過由移動設備的使用者選擇的單獨的硬體擴展功能，並且還能保持整個陣列的簡單操控。除了電氣連接以外，聯接模式提供在移動設備和至少一個設備部件之間的機械穩定連接並且還確保高度傳輸可靠性，但是又易於斷開。當不處於聯接模式下時，如果存在能量和功率及控制任務的處理器，那麼設備部件還能夠自己運行。 The mobile device in question is an independently fully functional device. This mobile device is capable of being extended by device components, ie by means of a mode coupled to the components to achieve additional functionality and/or hardware. Advantageously, the functional components no longer need to be combined with the mobile device via an external interface located outside the mobile device, such as an interface based on the USB standard and using mechanical, electrical, signal, and IT technologies. The functional components and/or interfaces do not have to protrude from the housing side of the mobile device, nor do they have to carry loose cables to connect with them, nor do they have to be connected by a defective radio. In the coupled mode, a compact unit is provided that ensures that the mobile device and the expansion unit are a single integrated unit. In particular, this allows the mobile device to extend functionality through a separate hardware selected by the user of the mobile device and also maintains simple manipulation of the entire array. In addition to the electrical connection, the coupling mode provides a mechanically stable connection between the mobile device and at least one of the device components and also ensures high transmission reliability, but is also easy to disconnect. When not in the connected mode, if there is a processor for energy and power and control tasks, the device components can also run on their own.

移動設備具體是電信設備和/或電腦化的設備，例如，智慧型電話、行動電話、平板電腦、筆記型電腦、可攜式電腦或其它手持設備。 Mobile devices are in particular telecommunication devices and/or computerized devices such as smart phones, mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers, portable computers or other handheld devices.

另外，本發明描述了具有可傳送信號和資料中至少一個的介面設置的設備部件，此設備部件具有聯接設備使設備部件的殼體部通過機械和/或剛性聯接到移動設備的側面或表面，且具有至少一個功能部件，由此介面設置借助於通過聯 接設備聯接的移動設備的處理器來控制設備部件的至少一個功能部件，和/或由此介面設置通過經由聯接設備聯接的移動設備被設置成傳送信號和資料中的至少一個。 Additionally, the present invention describes an apparatus component having an interface arrangement that transmits at least one of a signal and a material, the device component having a coupling device that mechanically and/or rigidly couples the housing portion of the device component to a side or surface of the mobile device, And having at least one functional component, whereby the interface is set by means of A processor of the mobile device coupled to the device controls at least one functional component of the device component, and/or the interface is configured to transmit at least one of a signal and a profile by the mobile device coupled via the coupled device.

因此，設備部件是移動設備的硬體擴展。硬體擴展給予移動設備附加功能和/或增加例如功能部件的其它硬體。一般來說，附加功能是在聯接設備部件之前，移動設備沒有裝配的功能，或移動設備已經裝配但是使用者不滿意的功能。通過本發明，這些或者不存在，或者不滿意的功能能夠被增加到設備部件上或被替換。 Therefore, device components are a hardware extension of mobile devices. Hardware extensions give mobile devices additional functionality and/or add other hardware such as features. In general, an additional function is a function that the mobile device does not have an assembly before the device component is coupled, or a function that the mobile device has been assembled but is not satisfactory to the user. With the present invention, these functions that are either absent or unsatisfactory can be added to or replaced by device components.

因此，設備部件提供有源部件和/或功能。與無源相反，這表示能使移動設備控制或讀取部件，特別是電子部件，例如在設備部件中的感測器、處理器或致動器。因此，本發明提供了與那些只具有純殼體的無源部件和功能不能由移動設備驅動的其它部件相反的有源部件。無源部件，例如化妝粉容器，應被包括在本申請中並且也可以是封裝。無源和有源封裝可以混合附接至設備部件。 Thus, the device components provide active components and/or functionality. In contrast to passive, this means that the mobile device can control or read components, particularly electronic components, such as sensors, processors or actuators in the device components. Accordingly, the present invention provides active components that are opposite to those that have only a pure housing and that are not capable of being driven by the mobile device. Passive components, such as cosmetic powder containers, should be included in the present application and may also be packaged. Passive and active packages can be hybridly attached to device components.

在這種情況下，將移動設備與設備部件直接聯接是優選的方式。但是，不排除例如轉接環的無源適配器被引入在移動設備和設備部件或附加的設備部件之間，只要適配器被特別佈局為機械和/或剛性聯接的設置。在介面設置的情況下，特別是借助於無線電(波)或感應傳送信號或資料，這種適配器不需要裝配其自身的介面部件。這種適配器是分配給移動設備和/或設備部件的聯接設備。相對應地，這種聯接設備還能夠包括例如夾片的包圍元件。 In this case, direct coupling of the mobile device to the device components is the preferred way. However, it is not excluded that a passive adapter, such as an adapter ring, is introduced between the mobile device and the device component or an additional device component as long as the adapter is specifically arranged as a mechanical and/or rigidly coupled arrangement. In the case of interface settings, especially by means of radio (wave) or inductive transmission of signals or data, such an adapter does not need to be fitted with its own interface components. Such an adapter is a coupling device that is assigned to a mobile device and/or device component. Correspondingly, such a coupling device can also comprise an enclosing element such as a clip.

在另一個實施例中，設備部件的殼體可以整體封閉，即所有殼體壁被設計為閉合。但是，還可能地是，單獨的或所有殼體壁整個或部分打開。這同樣也適用於封裝。相對應地，附加設備部件優選閉合殼體且具有用以形成電氣介面的接觸元件和用以形成聯接設備的結構元件。但是，當與外界聯接設備部件在面向移動設備的一側不具有閉合壁時，該殼體部件可採用框架或壁架形狀的形式。 In another embodiment, the housing of the device component can be integrally closed, ie all housing walls are designed to be closed. However, it is also possible that the individual or all of the housing walls are open in whole or in part. The same applies to the package. Correspondingly, the additional device component preferably closes the housing and has contact elements for forming an electrical interface and structural elements for forming a coupling device. However, when the device component coupled to the outside does not have a closed wall on the side facing the mobile device, the housing component may take the form of a frame or ledge shape.

在又一個實施例中，本發明包括具有第一聯接設備的設備部件，上述第一聯接設備的第一聯接側聯接至移動設備的移動設備側，和聯接至設備部件的第二聯接側的第二聯接設備被(48；65)。第二聯接設備佈置為將其它設備部件聯接至第一聯接設備。 In still another embodiment, the present invention includes a device component having a first coupling device, a first coupling side of the first coupling device coupled to a mobile device side of the mobile device, and a second coupling side coupled to the device component The two coupling devices are (48; 65). The second coupling device is arranged to couple the other device components to the first coupling device.

在又一個實施例中，本發明包括具有介面設置的設備部件，該介面設置被設計為面向移動設備的在設備部件的第一聯接側的第一介面設置，和在設備部件的第二聯接側的第二介面設置。第二介面設置被設計為與形狀相同的其它設備部件第一聯接側的第一介面設置相連接。 In yet another embodiment, the invention comprises a device component having an interface arrangement designed to face a first interface of a mobile device at a first coupling side of the device component, and at a second coupling side of the device component The second interface is set. The second interface arrangement is designed to be connected to the first interface arrangement of the first coupling side of the other device component of the same shape.

因此，第二聯接設備和第二介面設置是用作聯接其它設備部件的聯接點。另外，如果需要，從移動設備移除移動設備的後壁蓋從而聯接第一設備部件。這還特別允許多個設備部件的堆疊設置，上述多個設備部件能夠被作為堆疊附接至移動設備。雖然這使移動設備變得有些笨拙，但是能夠擴展許多不同功能。 Thus, the second coupling device and the second interface arrangement are used as coupling points for coupling other equipment components. Additionally, if desired, the rear wall cover of the mobile device is removed from the mobile device to couple the first device component. This also specifically allows for a stacking arrangement of multiple device components that can be attached to the mobile device as a stack. While this makes mobile devices a bit clumsy, it can scale many different features.

在另一個實施例中，本發明包括移動設備和設備 部件，處理器和周邊設備被佈置為控制至少兩個聯接的設備部件並且通過聯接設備相互堆疊和/或通過聯接設備接收來自聯接並相互堆疊的至少兩個設備部件的信號和資料中的至少一個。 In another embodiment, the invention includes mobile devices and devices The component, the processor and the peripheral device are arranged to control at least two coupled device components and to stack one another by a coupling device and/or to receive at least one of signals and materials from at least two device components coupled and stacked on each other by the coupling device .

偏好這種外部設備部件是因為它們根據需要可被替換。還優選地是，能夠根據需要替換作為移動設備的堆疊的附接的整列設備部件。根據另一個實施例，用於傳輸資料、信號和/或電流/電壓的電氣連接經由這種單獨的設備部件往復，從而通過其處理器從移動設備能夠訪問所有或自由選擇的堆疊的設備部件，以及它們的功能部件或功能。 This type of external device component is preferred because they can be replaced as needed. It is also preferred that the attached array of device components that are stacked as a mobile device can be replaced as needed. According to another embodiment, the electrical connections for transmitting data, signals and/or current/voltage are reciprocated via such separate device components such that all or freely selected stacked device components are accessible from the mobile device by their processor, And their features or functions.

用於將外部設備部件聯接至移動設備的機械部件還能夠聯接至其它這樣的設備部件。為此，以與聯接至移動設備的聯接側相同的方式，設備部件在相對側有相應的聯接機構和介面。人們還能夠特別利用舌榫連接器形狀的外部夾片或滑動連接器。 Mechanical components for coupling external device components to the mobile device can also be coupled to other such device components. To this end, the device components have corresponding coupling mechanisms and interfaces on opposite sides in the same manner as the coupling side coupled to the mobile device. It is also possible to make special use of external clips or sliding connectors in the shape of tongue and groove connectors.

除了設備部件和移動部件的聯接側的實施例以外，還提供了高級開發，特別是外周邊緣部分包圍設置在相對側上的部件的外邊緣。例如，移動設備的迂曲的外周壁可被佈置成具有朝向其聯接側的偏移，從而容納相對應地設備部件的伸出的迂曲壁。在這種情況下，設備部件的迂曲壁的特徵還在於其伸出區段的對面設置的區段中的偏移，從而允許將相同設計的其它設備部件附接至該設備部件。 In addition to the embodiment of the coupling side of the device component and the moving component, advanced development is provided, in particular the peripheral edge portion enclosing the outer edge of the component disposed on the opposite side. For example, the tortuous peripheral wall of the mobile device can be arranged to have an offset towards its coupling side to accommodate the protruding, tortuous wall of the corresponding device component. In this case, the curved wall of the device component is also characterized by an offset in the section of the opposite section of the projecting section, thereby allowing other device components of the same design to be attached to the device component.

在又一個移動設備或設備部件的實施例中，介面設置可以在移動設備和通過聯接設備聯接的至少一個設備部 件之間傳輸提供的電壓和/或提供的電流。 In an embodiment of yet another mobile device or device component, the interface is arranged in the mobile device and at least one device portion coupled by the coupling device The voltage supplied and/or the current supplied is transmitted between the pieces.

這種移動設備或這種設備部件的另一個有益實施例表現在給它們裝配處理器，該處理器設置並且佈置為與設備部件的至少一個介面設置和至少一個功能部件相連接，依靠聯接的移動設備的處理器的指令控制功能部件，和/或該處理器可以把這種設備部件的功能部件切換為下游的實施例。 Another advantageous embodiment of such a mobile device or such device component is characterized by the assembly of a processor for it, the processor being arranged and arranged to be coupled to at least one interface arrangement of the device component and to at least one functional component, dependent on the movement of the coupling The instruction control functions of the processor of the device, and/or the processor can switch the functional components of such device components to downstream embodiments.

為此，處理器通過匯流排連接能夠被連接至單獨的功能部件和介面。但是，處理器還能夠在它們之間直接轉換。設備部件的處理器不妨礙移動設備的處理器的活動，但是移動設備和至少一個聯接的設備部件的整體陣列的中心控制依賴於移動設備的處理器。設備部件的處理器主要用作對移動設備的處理器的支援。 To this end, the processor can be connected to separate functional components and interfaces through busbar connections. However, the processor is also able to convert directly between them. The processor of the device component does not interfere with the activity of the processor of the mobile device, but the central control of the overall array of mobile devices and at least one coupled device component is dependent on the processor of the mobile device. The processor of the device component is primarily used as a support for the processor of the mobile device.

在又一個實施例中，本發明是裝配有移動設備可控制的至少一個功能部件的設備部件。設備部件的功能能夠被選擇，但不限於血液工作確定設備(blood-work determination device)、讀卡器、特別是借記卡讀卡器、呼吸和/或血液酒精分析設備、檢測和/或分析物理和/或化學值的設備、特別是電測量值、溫度、壓力、氣體、濕度的物理和/或化學值的設備和/或流體檢測設備和/或溫度、壓力、氣體、濕度和/或電測量值測量值、流體檢測設備、圖像生成設備、特別是內窺鏡設備、密碼功能設備、印表機、指紋掃描設備、加速度測量設備、粗糙度測量設備、位置、配置和/或距離測量設備和光源，特別是鐳射源。 In yet another embodiment, the invention is a device component that is equipped with at least one functional component controllable by a mobile device. The functions of the device components can be selected, but are not limited to blood-work determination devices, card readers, in particular debit card readers, breathing and/or blood alcohol analysis devices, detection and/or analysis.

例如，有益地是，餐廳中的服務員將專門的具有 借記卡/***功能的設備部件附接至移動設備，該移動設備能夠處理使用借記卡或其它銀行卡的客人的帳單。針對服務員的其它設備部件能夠例如設置有補充設備，該補充設備監理與廚房或酒吧的通信從而將正要交付給他們的顧客訂單自動發送。另一示意性實施例例如是，設備部件裝配有感測器設備以進行煙囪掃描操作，該操作為了進行氣體分析、洩漏壓力測量、濕度測量或溫度測量而執行物理測量。另選地，還能夠提供在難達到的位置中用於目測觀察的內窺鏡所附接的設備部件。設備部件例如可以提供給建設工人，該部件允許工人使用鐳射或超聲執行距離測量，或使用濕度感測器測量在建築物、穀物存儲、或木材處理中商品的含水量。 For example, it is beneficial that the waiters in the restaurant will have special The device component of the debit/credit card function is attached to the mobile device, which is capable of handling bills for guests using a debit card or other bank card. Other equipment components for the waiter can, for example, be provided with supplemental equipment that supervises communication with the kitchen or bar to automatically send customer orders that are being delivered to them. Another illustrative embodiment is, for example, that the device component is equipped with a sensor device for performing a chimney scanning operation that performs physical measurements for gas analysis, leak pressure measurement, humidity measurement, or temperature measurement. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide a device component to which the endoscope is attached for visual observation in a difficult to reach position. Equipment components can be provided, for example, to construction workers that allow workers to perform distance measurements using laser or ultrasound, or use humidity sensors to measure the moisture content of merchandise in buildings, grain storage, or wood processing.

另一設備部件能夠例如提供給必須監視他們的個人醫學值的人，例如任何慢性病、血壓或血糖含量。有益地是，移動設備的使用者能夠在娛樂時或在工作時根據他們的個人需要將不同的設備部件聯接至他們的移動設備/將不同的設備部件從他們的移動設備斷開。 Another device component can, for example, be provided to a person who must monitor their personal medical value, such as any chronic disease, blood pressure or blood sugar level. Beneficially, users of mobile devices can connect/disconnect different device components to/from different mobile devices according to their personal needs during entertainment or at work.

在另一個實施例中，本發明所述設備部件的聯接設備的特徵在於齊平地將設備部件聯結至移動設備的聯接側的聯接設備部件側，由此設備部件靠近這種移動設備的聯接設備部件側的側部被設計為在其鄰接部中至少對齊，上述移動設備的聯接設備部件側靠近這種聯接移動設備側。 In another embodiment, the coupling device of the device component of the invention is characterized in that the device component is coupled flush to the coupling device component side of the coupling side of the mobile device, whereby the device component is adjacent to the coupling device component of the mobile device The sides of the sides are designed to be at least aligned in their abutments, the side of the coupling device part of the mobile device being close to the side of the coupling mobile device.

此外，系統優選地包括這種移動設備和至少一個聯接的或有能力聯接的這種設備部件。 Moreover, the system preferably includes such a mobile device and at least one such device component that is coupled or capable of coupling.

這種設備部件能夠集成一個或多個功能、硬體擴 展或功能部件。為此目的，感測器和致動器能夠被小型化和幾何學上交錯，由此優選地電氣線路達到每一個感測器和每一個致動器。 This device component can integrate one or more functions and hardware expansion Exhibition or feature. For this purpose, the sensors and actuators can be miniaturized and geometrically staggered, whereby preferably the electrical circuit reaches each sensor and each actuator.

根據優選的擴展實施例，移動設備和/或這樣的設備部件能夠以設備為特徵，該設備不僅以通常佈局提供剛性結構，而且提供可調節的、特別是連接的或樞轉的實施例。這種設備能夠通過聯接區段被特別佈置，特別是通過其自身聯接區段被特別佈置。這種設備特別是能夠相對於聯接的移動設備鉸接、樞轉、滑動和/或轉動設備部件的至少一個區段。通常，這還允許設備部件和移動設備借助機械元件平移相對移位和/或旋轉相對移位。機械聯接部件或聯接區段將被裝配有合適的介面用於電接觸，如果需要可以通過電感耦合裝配，從而如有需要確保資料和/或信號和能量的傳送，與移動設備和聯接的設備部件之間的位置設置無關。 According to a preferred extended embodiment, the mobile device and/or such device component can be characterized by a device that not only provides a rigid structure in a conventional layout, but also provides an adjustable, in particular connected or pivoted embodiment. Such a device can be arranged in particular by a coupling section, in particular by its own coupling section. Such a device is particularly capable of articulating, pivoting, sliding and/or rotating at least one section of the device component relative to the coupled mobile device. Typically, this also allows the device component and the mobile device to translate relative displacement and/or rotational relative displacement by means of mechanical elements. The mechanical coupling component or coupling section will be fitted with a suitable interface for electrical contact, if required by inductive coupling, to ensure the transfer of data and/or signals and energy, if necessary, with mobile equipment and coupled equipment components The position setting is irrelevant.

具體來說，閉合由移動設備和至少一個設備部件構成的整個設置的設備部件的下側還可以裝配有各種非數字顯示元件或設備，例如持有一張相片或夾持紙張。例如，彈簧夾能夠被佈置在設備部件的後側表面上。 In particular, the underside of the device component that closes the entire arrangement of the mobile device and the at least one device component can also be equipped with various non-digital display elements or devices, such as holding a photo or holding paper. For example, the spring clip can be placed on the rear side surface of the device component.

另外，操作這種移動設備和聯結至這種移動設備的至少一個設備部件存在優選過程，其中設備部件的功能部件借助於聯接的移動設備的處理器被控制，和/或其中設備部件的功能部件將信號和資料中的至少一個傳送至移動設備並且在移動設備中被處理。 In addition, there is a preferred process for operating such a mobile device and at least one device component coupled to such a mobile device, wherein the functional components of the device component are controlled by means of a processor of the coupled mobile device, and/or functional components of the device component At least one of the signal and the material is transmitted to the mobile device and processed in the mobile device.

在另一個實施例中，在將設備部件聯接至移動設 備後，或在啟動功能部件作為資料之後，將用於操作功能部件的軟體從設備部件載入至移動部件，或其處理器。 In another embodiment, the device component is coupled to the mobile device After preparation, or after launching the feature as a material, the software for operating the feature is loaded from the device component to the mobile component, or its processor.

因此，控制還特別包括資料傳送。如果需要，之前的軟體被存儲在設備部件中作為設備部件的驅動器。具體來說，該軟體允許設備部件裝配有針對其功能的軟體並且可以在移動設備中作為電腦處理器程式運行。 Therefore, the control also includes, in particular, data transfer. If needed, the previous software is stored in the device component as a drive for the device component. In particular, the software allows the device components to be equipped with software for their function and can be run as a computer processor program in the mobile device.

在理想情況下，當設備部件被首次聯接至移動移動設備時，僅傳送一次軟體。在那時，驅動器從設備部件載入至移動設備使得設備部件由此邏輯連接至移動設備，由此設備部件變得可控制。然後，隨後的更新優選地從外部資料來源載入，如果需要，該外部資料來源來自外部供應商或來自公共可訪問的網路。 Ideally, when the device component is first connected to the mobile mobile device, the software is only transferred once. At that time, the loading of the drive from the device component to the mobile device causes the device component to thereby be logically connected to the mobile device, whereby the device component becomes controllable. Subsequent updates are then preferably loaded from an external data source, if needed, from an external provider or from a publicly accessible network.

這能夠將設備部件聯接至移動設備以通過設備部件的感測器在移動設備處理器的控制下來執行測量。 This enables the device component to be coupled to the mobile device to perform measurements under the control of the mobile device processor by the sensor of the device component.

然後，移動設備能夠在移動設備中應用程式的說明下捕獲資料。上述應用程式還能夠是與設備部件一起提供的應用程式。資料或通過處理生成的資料隨後能夠被保存、顯示，用來控制其它處理，或通過網路傳送至外部設備。 The mobile device can then capture the data under the instructions of the application in the mobile device. The above application can also be an application provided with the device component. The data or the data generated by the processing can then be saved, displayed, used to control other processing, or transmitted over the network to an external device.

在另一個實施例中，本發明保持這種部件互聯的常見佈局，能夠被容易地處理和攜帶。單獨的或結合的設備部件必須具有與移動設備相匹配的尺寸。整體陣列優選地總重量在1.5kg以下，特別是在1kg以下，特別是在行動電話實施例的情況下重量在750g以下，並且特別在500g以下。相對應地，總體尺寸優選在一個範圍內，其中最大側長度為500mm，優選 地小於350mm，並且在行動電話實施例的情況下小於200mm。 In another embodiment, the present invention maintains the common layout of such component interconnections that can be easily handled and carried. Separate or combined device components must have dimensions that match the mobile device. The overall array preferably has a total weight of less than 1.5 kg, in particular below 1 kg, in particular in the case of a mobile phone embodiment, the weight is below 750 g, and in particular below 500 g. Correspondingly, the overall size is preferably in a range in which the maximum side length is 500 mm, preferably Ground is less than 350 mm and less than 200 mm in the case of a mobile phone embodiment.

在下面的部分中將更詳細地描述實施例的示例。各附圖將用相同的附圖標記表示相同或同樣的功能部件和功能元件。 Examples of embodiments are described in more detail in the sections that follow. The same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or the same.

如圖1所示，系統10包括移動設備20和能夠聯結至移動設備20的許多設備部件30、50、70。還可能僅將這些設備部件30、50、70中的任一個附接至移動設備20，優選地將堆疊在彼此之上的這些設備部件30、50、70中的多個聯接至移動設備20，或將多個不同的這種外部設備部件聯接至移動設備20。 As shown in FIG. 1, system 10 includes a mobile device 20 and a number of device components 30, 50, 70 that can be coupled to mobile device 20. It is also possible to attach only any of these device components 30, 50, 70 to the mobile device 20, preferably to couple the plurality of these device components 30, 50, 70 stacked on each other to the mobile device 20, Or a plurality of different such external device components are coupled to the mobile device 20.

示出的示例移動設備20例如是行動電話或智慧型電話，其不僅提供在移動無線電網路上的通信選擇，而且還提供微型電腦的特徵。訪問網際網路是移動設備20的功能的一部分。移動設備20起到殼體的作用，在殼體上特別是它最大的殼體側(例如聯接移動設備側46)設置顯示器和/或操作控制器21。顯示器和/或操作控制器21用來顯示物體、文本或圖像以及顯示現有技術中的功能元件。另外，顯示器和/或操作控制器21用來輸入指令、文本或實現啟動功能，這也是現有技術。顯示器和/或操作控制器21優選地用於控制由聯接的設備部件提供的其它功能。 The illustrated example mobile device 20 is, for example, a mobile phone or a smart phone that not only provides communication options over a mobile radio network, but also provides features of a microcomputer. Access to the Internet is part of the functionality of the mobile device 20. The mobile device 20 functions as a housing on which the display and/or operation controller 21 is disposed, particularly on its largest housing side (e.g., coupled to the mobile device side 46). The display and/or operation controller 21 is used to display objects, text or images and to display functional elements of the prior art. Additionally, the display and/or operation controller 21 is used to input commands, text, or implement launch functions, which is also prior art. The display and/or operation controller 21 is preferably used to control other functions provided by the coupled device components.

移動設備將電池22作為電源。根據外部設備部件的設計，它們也能通過電池22供電。還可以使用本身起到電池作用的外部設備部件42，或使用能夠在聯接模式下給移動設備20的電池22充電的任何其它電源。 The mobile device uses the battery 22 as a power source. They can also be powered by battery 22 depending on the design of the external device components. It is also possible to use an external device component 42 that functions as a battery itself, or any other power source that can charge the battery 22 of the mobile device 20 in the coupled mode.

具體地，在設計為能訪問移動無線電網路的行動電話的情況下，移動設備20還包括用於***識別卡23的插槽。上述插槽用來***所謂的SIM(使用者識別模組)卡，該SIM卡用來給網路操作者識別移動設備20的使用者。 Specifically, in the case of a mobile phone designed to have access to a mobile radio network, the mobile device 20 also includes a slot for inserting the identification card 23. The slot is used to insert a so-called SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card that is used to identify the user of the mobile device 20 to the network operator.

在移動設備20中的處理器24用來控制移動設備的功能和單獨的部件。移動設備20的各部件通過線路25、28彼此連接，從而被供給電壓v和/或在彼此之間交換資料或信號。因此，根據設計，資料和信號可以是類比的或數位的。信號用來控制部件，或可以採用由感測器提供的形式，用來控制移動設備20或其功能。資料具有資訊內容，還能夠表示軟體原始程式碼。另外，資料能夠包含數位化信號值。 The processor 24 in the mobile device 20 is used to control the functionality of the mobile device and the individual components. The components of the mobile device 20 are connected to each other by lines 25, 28 to be supplied with voltages v and/or to exchange data or signals between each other.

The connection of the mobile device 20 and the first device component 30 is achieved by at least one coupling device 26 of the mobile device 20 and a first coupling device 31 of the device component 30 coupled thereto. The coupling devices 26, 31 can be elements that slide and/or snap into each other, which allows the device component 31 to be mechanically coupled to the detachable rigid of the mobile device 20.

為了將設備部件30聯接至移動設備20，移動設備20的附加特徵還在於周邊設備27，在該示例中，周邊設備27示出為插座並且允許與移動設備20的內部設置部件電接觸，特別是與其處理器24電接觸。相對應地，設備部件30的特徵在於第一介面設置32，在該示例中示出為插頭。在聯接模式下，設備部件30的第一介面設置32和移動設備的介面設置27以能夠進行信號傳送、資料傳送和功率傳送的電氣接觸的方式 卡扣到彼此中。第一聯接設備31特別用來保持設置在設備部件30中的第一設備部件30的功能部件40、41、42、44的電接觸。另選地或特別另外地，還能夠通過設備部件30的第一介面設置32保持與其它設備部件50的接觸。它們作為其它設備部件附接至第一設備部件30。第一設備部件30的第二介面設置37與第二設備部件50的第一介面設置52相結合，並且第一設備部件30的第二聯接設備36與第二設備部件50的第一聯接設備51相結合。 In order to couple the device component 30 to the mobile device 20, an additional feature of the mobile device 20 is also in the peripheral device 27, which in this example is shown as a socket and allows electrical contact with the internal setting components of the mobile device 20, in particular It is in electrical contact with its processor 24. Correspondingly, the device component 30 is characterized by a first interface arrangement 32, shown in this example as a plug. In the coupled mode, the first interface setting 32 of the device component 30 and the interface setting 27 of the mobile device are in a manner capable of electrical contact for signal transmission, data transfer, and power transfer.

The first coupling device 31 is particularly intended to maintain electrical contact of the functional components 40, 41, 42, 44 of the first device component 30 disposed in the device component 30. Alternatively or in particular additionally, contact with other device components 50 can also be maintained by the first interface arrangement 32 of the device component 30.

如圖2中概括地額外示出，移動設備20和設備部件30的其它介面設置29、35能夠被另選地或另外地佈置在移動設備20中，這將能夠傳送資料、信號和/或電壓供給。因此，單獨的介面設置29、35特徵還在於多個介面觸頭80、83以供給功率/電壓和/或多個介面觸頭81、84以傳送信號/資料。 As additionally shown in FIG. 2, the other interface settings 29, 35 of the mobile device 20 and the device component 30 can be alternatively or additionally arranged in the mobile device 20, which will be capable of transmitting data, signals and/or voltages. supply. Thus, the individual interface arrangements 29, 35 are also characterized by a plurality of interface contacts 80, 83 to supply power/voltage and/or a plurality of interface contacts 81, 84 for transmitting signals/data.

除了上述介面設置和介面觸頭以外，導電路徑或接觸區域也可佈置在在移動設備20或設備部件30的表面上(處於聯接模式下並且設置在彼此之上)。它們將允許在彼此之間表面接觸。移動設備20的移動設備側46特徵在於圍繞其的完整或部分接觸線路82。第一設備部件30的第一聯接側47的特徵在於圍繞其的完整或部分接觸線路85從而與在聯接模式下彼此抵靠的移動設備側46的接觸線路82保持接觸。 In addition to the interface arrangements and interface contacts described above, conductive paths or contact areas may also be disposed on the surface of the mobile device 20 or device component 30 (in the coupled mode and disposed on top of one another).

The first coupling side 47 of the first device component 30 is characterized by a complete or partial contact line 85 therearound to maintain contact with the contact line 82 of the mobile device side 46 that abuts each other in the coupled mode.

聯接設備部件30、50優選地特徵在於各自的處理器34、54。這些處理器34、54用來獨立和完整地控制各設備部件30、50的部件和功能。可選地，處理器34、54可有單獨支援功能並且只控制它們所在的設備部件的部件和功能的部分或全部，並且如果需要，進行完整的或部分的評估來進行分析。在這種情況下，處理器34、54用來支援移動設備的處理器24，並且可能地是，移動設備20的處理器24自己進行設備部件30、50的部件和功能的所有控制和評估。設備部件特徵還在於內部線路38、58連接它們的部件和介面。 The coupling device components 30, 50 are preferably characterized by respective processors 34, 54. These processors 34, 54 are used to independently and completely control the components and functions of the various device components 30, 50. Alternatively, the processors 34, 54 may have separate support functions and only control some or all of the components and functions of the device components in which they are located, and if necessary, perform a full or partial evaluation for analysis. In this case, the processors 34, 54 are used to support the processor 24 of the mobile device, and possibly the processor 24 of the mobile device 20 itself performs all control and evaluation of the components and functions of the device components 30, 50. The equipment components are also characterized by internal wirings 38, 58 connecting their components and interfaces.

圖1示出了第一設備部件30已經在其第一聯接側47聯接至移動設備20的(用於聯接的)移動設備側46。下方示出兩個其它的設備部件50、70並且用來替換第一設備部件30或用於在堆疊模式下的其它使用，由此第二設備部件50附接至第一設備部件30，並且第三設備部件70附接至第二設備部件50。為此，設備部件30、50的部分裝配有兩個聯接側。因此，在第一設備部件30中，第一聯接側47的相對側被設計為第二聯接側48。 FIG. 1 shows the mobile device side 46 (for coupling) that the first device component 30 has been coupled to the mobile device 20 at its first coupling side 47. Two other device components 50, 70 are shown below and are used to replace the first device component 30 or for other uses in the stacked mode, whereby the second device component 50 is attached to the first device component 30, and The three device component 70 is attached to the second device component 50. To this end, the parts of the device parts 30, 50 are fitted with two coupling sides. Thus, in the first device component 30, the opposite side of the first coupling side 47 is designed as the second coupling side 48.

第二聯接側48優選地設計成與用於聯接的移動設備20的移動設備側46相似以相互聯接。但是，第二個提供的設備部件50特徵在於第二聯接側65與其第一聯接側49相對地設置。第二聯接側48、65優選地特徵在於各自的第二聯接設備36和56，上述第二聯接設備適於聯接其它設備部件的相對應的第一聯接設置31、51和71，或移動設備20的不具備功能的蓋。第二聯接側48、65優選地特徵還在於第二介面設置 37、39、57、59以傳送信號、資料d、電流或提供電壓v，與移動設備20的介面設置27、29的設計一致。 The second coupling side 48 is preferably designed to be similar to the mobile device side 46 of the mobile device 20 for coupling to be coupled to each other. However, the second provided device component 50 is characterized in that the second coupling side 65 is disposed opposite its first coupling side 49. The second coupling sides 48, 65 are preferably characterized by respective second coupling devices 36 and 56, which are adapted to couple corresponding first coupling arrangements 31, 51 and 71 of other equipment components, or mobile device 20 The cover that does not have a function. The second coupling side 48, 65 is preferably also characterized by a second interface setting 37, 39, 57, 59 are identical to the design of the interface settings 27, 29 of the mobile device 20 for transmitting signals, data d, current or providing voltage v.

在具有第二聯接側48、65的這種設備部件30、50中，它們的線路34和/或處理器54優選地在某種程度上轉換使得移動設備20的處理器24優選地不僅控制相鄰聯接的設備部件30，而且還控制聯接至處理器24的其它設備部件50，使得處理器24能夠接收來自其它設備部件50的資料或信號。 In such device components 30, 50 having second coupling sides 48, 65, their line 34 and/or processor 54 are preferably converted to some degree such that processor 24 of mobile device 20 preferably not only controls the phase The adjacent coupled device component 30, and also controls other device components 50 coupled to the processor 24, enables the processor 24 to receive data or signals from other device components 50.

特別優選地是電壓、功率、電流、資料或信號經由裝配有兩個聯接側47、48、49、65的這些設備部件30、50和其它設備部件引導。 It is particularly preferred that the voltage, power, current, data or signal is guided via these device components 30, 50 and other device components that are equipped with two coupling sides 47, 48, 49, 65.

因此，原則上，根據圖1的描述，具有其第一聯接設備51以及至少第一介面設置52、55的第二設備部件50能夠被聯結至第一設備部件30的第二聯接側48，並且可切換與移動設備20通信。另外，具有至少第一聯接設備71和第一介面設置72的第三設備部件能夠在其第一聯接側66聯接至第二設備部件50的第二聯接側65。 Thus, in principle, according to the description of FIG. 1 , the second device component 50 having its first coupling device 51 and at least the first interface arrangement 52 , 55 can be coupled to the second coupling side 48 of the first device component 30 , and Switchable to communicate with mobile device 20. Additionally, a third device component having at least a first coupling device 71 and a first interface arrangement 72 can be coupled at its first coupling side 66 to a second coupling side 65 of the second device component 50.

因此，不以任何有源功能部件為特徵的第三設備部件70的第一介面設置72能夠用來關閉線路連接。因此，例如，存在通過第一介面設置72的兩個觸頭將閉環設計至在聯接的設備部件50的第二聯接側48、65的彼此相對的兩個電觸頭的選擇，上述第一介面設置72的兩個觸頭連接在一起以進行導電。 Thus, the first interface arrangement 72 of the third device component 70 that is not characterized by any active features can be used to close the line connection. Thus, for example, there is the option of designing a closed loop through the two contacts of the first interface arrangement 72 to the two electrical contacts of the second coupling sides 48, 65 of the coupled device component 50, the first interface The two contacts of setting 72 are connected together for electrical conduction.

第三設備部件是殼體蓋的示例，雖然第三設備部件不以任何特定的功能為特徵，但是它可以聯結至移動設備 20。因此，上述蓋覆蓋聯接設備26和在移動設備側46上的介面設置27、29從而保護它們不受損壞。 The third device component is an example of a housing cover, although the third device component does not feature any particular function, but it can be coupled to the mobile device 20. Thus, the cover covers the coupling device 26 and the interface settings 27, 29 on the mobile device side 46 to protect them from damage.

設備部件70還能夠攜載例如機械握持元件73的無源部件從而在設備部件70處夾持紙張74。優選地，能夠被聯接的設備部件特徵在於功能部件40、41、42、44、60或61，上述功能部件能夠起到有源功能並且如果需要可以擴展移動設備20的功能和硬體。 Device component 70 can also carry passive components such as mechanical gripping elements 73 to hold paper 74 at device component 70. Preferably, the device components that can be coupled are characterized by functional components 40, 41, 42, 44, 60 or 61 that are capable of functioning as an active function and that can extend the functionality and hardware of the mobile device 20 if desired.

第一設備部件30的特徵在於設計為存儲卡插槽的功能部件40。因此，移動設備20能夠擴展存儲量，在該記憶體上由使用者用移動設備20記錄的音訊檔、影像檔和電影檔案能夠被儲存以隨後用移動設備20再次播放。功能部件41的其它示意性功能為用戶識別卡插槽41使得用戶能夠***第二用戶識別卡，因此不同的用戶能夠交替地訪問網際網路或使用他們在移動設備20上的識別資訊打電話。可選地，移動設備20能夠同時生產多個對通信網路的訪問並且彼此平行，從而使其通過第一網路提供商能建立低成本資料連接以及通過第二網路提供商建立低成本電話連接。功能部件42的另一個示例是額外的電池，目的在於能夠延長移動設備20的工作時間，或為了能夠通過聯接第一設備部件30對移動設備20中的電池22再次充電。在另一個實施例中，其它功能部件44設計為用於銀行卡或現金卡的讀卡設備。其特徵在於接收相對應卡45的接收器插槽43，從而能將卡從外部***接收器插槽43。功能部件44通過與銀行卡或現金卡相對應的讀取模組和/或評估模組來實現其功能並設置在接收器插槽43附近。 The first device component 30 is characterized by a functional component 40 designed as a memory card slot. Accordingly, the mobile device 20 is capable of expanding the amount of memory on which the audio files, video files, and movie files recorded by the user with the mobile device 20 can be stored for subsequent playback by the mobile device 20. Another illustrative function of the feature 41 is that the subscriber identity card slot 41 enables the user to insert a second subscriber identity card so that different subscribers can alternately access the Internet or make calls using their identification information on the mobile device 20. Alternatively, the mobile device 20 is capable of simultaneously producing multiple accesses to the communication network and parallel to each other such that it can establish a low cost data connection through the first network provider and establish a low cost telephone through the second network provider connection. Another example of the functional component 42 is an additional battery for the purpose of extending the operating time of the mobile device 20 or for recharging the battery 22 in the mobile device 20 by coupling the first device component 30. In another embodiment, the other functional component 44 is designed as a card reading device for a bank card or cash card. It is characterized in that the receiver slot 43 of the corresponding card 45 is received so that the card can be inserted into the receiver slot 43 from the outside. The function unit 44 realizes its function by a reading module and/or an evaluation module corresponding to a bank card or a cash card and is disposed near the receiver slot 43.

因此，對於許多使用者，第一設備部件30代表移動設備20的一般性的使用者感興趣的擴展選擇。除此以外，本發明還能夠提供針對特殊使用者、甚至客戶定制的或單獨設計的設備部件。 Thus, for many users, the first device component 30 represents an extended selection of interest to the general user of the mobile device 20. In addition to this, the present invention is also capable of providing device components that are customized or individually designed for a particular user, or even a customer.

因此，第二設備部件50例如特徵在於設計為醫療分析部件的功能部件61。它為測試帶64和感測器63提供接收器插槽62，感測器63分析***接收器插槽62的測試帶64。測試帶64包括帶，上述帶能夠接收滴落在其上的血液，然後將借助於感測器63和功能部件61的電子產品確定血液中的糖含量。為了支援功能部件61，計算步驟或處理步驟的一部分能夠由第二設備部件50的處理器54和/或有移動設備20的處理器24執行，因為它們裝配有相對應的合適的軟體和/或驅動器。 Thus, the second device component 50 is for example characterized by a functional component 61 designed as a medical analysis component. It provides a receiver slot 62 for the test strip 64 and the sensor 63, and the sensor 63 analyzes the test strip 64 that is inserted into the receiver slot 62. The test strip 64 includes a belt that is capable of receiving blood dripping thereon and then determines the sugar content in the blood by means of the electronic product of the sensor 63 and the functional component 61. In order to support the functional component 61, a computing step or a portion of the processing steps can be performed by the processor 54 of the second device component 50 and/or the processor 24 having the mobile device 20, as they are equipped with corresponding suitable software and/or driver.

在另一個實施例中，GPS模組類型的位置確定設備能夠設置在該模組50中作為額外功能部件60。該設備部件50將能夠確定移動設備20的位置並且在急診的情況下，設備部件50能夠通過移動設備20的移動無線功能求救，同時提供當前位置資料。 In another embodiment, a GPS module type position determining device can be disposed in the module 50 as an additional functional component 60. The device component 50 will be able to determine the location of the mobile device 20 and in the event of an emergency, the device component 50 can be rescued by the mobile wireless function of the mobile device 20 while providing current location profiles.

可選地，例如按鈕或觸敏元件的其它致動元件33能夠被佈置在設備部件30中。因此，設備部件的特徵還在於物理操作元件和致動器、開關和按鈕。例如，當卡45已經被***讀卡設備的接收器插槽43並且必須確認個人識別號碼時，可以用它們執行手工確認。 Alternatively, other actuating elements 33 such as buttons or touch sensitive elements can be arranged in the device component 30. Accordingly, device components are also characterized by physical operating elements and actuators, switches, and buttons. For example, when the card 45 has been inserted into the receiver slot 43 of the card reading device and the personal identification number must be confirmed, they can be used to perform manual confirmation.

如果移動設備20和設備部件30、50、70在聯接情況下形成視覺閉合單元，特別優選的是移動設備20和設備 部件30、50、70的實施例。圖1和圖2示出了移動設備20及其聯接移動設備側46設置在一個平面中，該平面由第一空間座標x，y展開。相對應地，設備部件30、50、70沿垂直於該平面的空間座標z的方向聯接至移動設備20的聯接移動設備側46，並且設備部件30、50中的另一個也一樣。具體來說，靠近聯接移動設備側46並且在第三空間座標z的平面中展開的四個移動設備側75縱向設置並且平行於校準線F。相對應地，聯接至移動設備20的設備部件30、50、70的相鄰側76、77、78也在平面上延伸，上述平面被第三空間座標z平分。這些側76、77、78是靠近相對應的聯接設備部件側的側，即靠近設備部件30、50、70的第一聯接側47-49、65、66。優選地是，設備部件30、50、70與它們的聯接側47-49、65、66的尺寸為相鄰側76、77、78的長度與聯接側47-49、65、66對齊，並且平行於移動設備側75的校準線F，上述移動設備側被設置為靠近聯接移動設備側。這導致總體佈置優選的齊平外周，使得在附接這樣的設備30、50、70中的一個或更多個之後，示意性矩形移動設備20還顯示出具有矩形形狀的總體佈置。 If the mobile device 20 and the device components 30, 50, 70 form a visually closed unit in the coupled case, it is particularly preferred that the mobile device 20 and the device Embodiments of components 30, 50, 70. Figures 1 and 2 show that the mobile device 20 and its associated mobile device side 46 are disposed in a plane that is unfolded by the first spatial coordinate x, y. Correspondingly, the device components 30, 50, 70 are coupled to the coupled mobile device side 46 of the mobile device 20 in a direction perpendicular to the spatial coordinate z of the plane, and the other of the device components 30, 50 is also the same. In particular, the four mobile device sides 75 that are adjacent to the coupled mobile device side 46 and deployed in the plane of the third spatial coordinate z are longitudinally disposed and parallel to the calibration line F. Correspondingly, adjacent sides 76, 77, 78 of the device components 30, 50, 70 coupled to the mobile device 20 also extend in a plane that is halved by the third space coordinate z. These sides 76, 77, 78 are adjacent to the side of the corresponding coupling device component side, i.e., near the first coupling side 47-49, 65, 66 of the device components 30, 50, 70. Preferably, the device components 30, 50, 70 and their coupling sides 47-49, 65, 66 are sized such that the lengths of the adjacent sides 76, 77, 78 are aligned with the coupling sides 47-49, 65, 66 and are parallel On the calibration line F of the mobile device side 75, the mobile device side is placed close to the coupled mobile device side. This results in a generally flush flushing of the overall arrangement such that after attaching one or more of such devices 30, 50, 70, the illustrative rectangular mobile device 20 also exhibits a general arrangement having a rectangular shape.

本發明能夠實現許多種結構修改。功能部件能夠實現完全不同的目的，例如當設計為感測器時進行測量。設備部件30、50、70的殼體不是必須完全封閉，而是特徵為能夠在於打開或部分打開除了用於插頭、卡等的可能的開口和裂縫以外的側壁。在一個示例中，接收器插槽能夠通過附接至接收器插槽的移動設備的殼體的相鄰壁被限制在一側上，或借助於 相鄰聯接的設備部件被佈置。 The invention is capable of implementing a wide variety of structural modifications. The functional components can be used for completely different purposes, such as when designing as a sensor. The housing of the device components 30, 50, 70 does not have to be completely enclosed, but is characterized by being capable of opening or partially opening side walls other than possible openings and cracks for plugs, cards, and the like. In one example, the receiver slot can be constrained to one side by an adjacent wall of the housing of the mobile device attached to the receiver slot, or by means of Adjacently coupled equipment components are arranged.

圖3示出了在移動設備20處對接、聯接和/或啟動聯接的設備部件30的示意性過程。在第一步驟S1中，移動設備捕獲附接或聯接至移動設備的設備部件。一旦聯接設備部件或在設備部件已經聯接的情況下，通過啟動在移動設備中的合適的軟體能夠自動且直接地進行捕獲。 FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic process of docking, coupling, and/or initiating a coupled device component 30 at a mobile device 20. In a first step S1, the mobile device captures a device component attached or coupled to the mobile device. Once the device components are coupled or where the device components have been coupled, the capture can be performed automatically and directly by activating the appropriate software in the mobile device.

在接下來的步驟S2中，用於實現設備部件功能的軟體在移動設備的處理器中或設備部件的處理器中啟動。 In the next step S2, the software for implementing the function of the device component is started in the processor of the mobile device or in the processor of the device component.

在步驟S3中，在被移動設備及其處理器啟動之後，設備部件中的功能開始執行。在步驟S4示出的另一個實施例中，一旦在設備部件中進行人工輸入，設備部件中的功能也能被執行。由於設備部件裝配有在步驟S5中捕獲信號和/或資料的模組或設備，設備部件能夠被啟動以一次性或連續地捕獲信號和/或資料。捕獲的信號或資料或由設備部件提供的其它信號或資料將至少部分地在步驟S6中在設備部件中進行資料處理。但是，另選地，移動設備的處理器也能夠完整地處理資料。 In step S3, after being activated by the mobile device and its processor, the functions in the device components begin to execute. In another embodiment, shown in step S4, once manual input is made in the device component, functions in the device component can also be performed. Since the device components are equipped with modules or devices that capture signals and/or data in step S5, the device components can be activated to capture signals and/or data in a single or continuous manner. The captured signals or data or other signals or materials provided by the device components will be processed at least in part in the device components in step S6. Alternatively, however, the processor of the mobile device is also capable of processing the data in its entirety.

在步驟S7中，將資料從設備部件傳送至移動設備從而傳送捕獲的或由設備部件提供的信號或資料。在步驟S8中提供特定的選擇，該步驟將外部資料從移動設備傳送至經由無線介面或移動無線系統遠端可達到的其它設備。然後，將執行檢索步驟S9，該步驟將檢查過程是否連續地執行。如果是，將後退至佈置S3、S4來執行設備部件功能。如果不是，設備部件及其功能將在步驟S10中從移動設備分開。這種分開是指 關於軟體使用或資料交換的資料方面的分開。 In step S7, the material is transferred from the device component to the mobile device to transmit a signal or material that is captured or provided by the device component. A particular selection is provided in step S8 that transfers external data from the mobile device to other devices reachable via the wireless interface or remotely to the mobile wireless system. Then, a retrieval step S9 will be performed which will check if the process is continuously executed. If so, it will fall back to the arrangements S3, S4 to perform the device component function. If not, the device components and their functions will be separated from the mobile device in step S10. This separation means Separation of information on software use or data exchange.

在設備部件中進行部分資料處理之後，能夠在步驟S11中提供具有後退的檢索。另外，這種後退或後跳能夠在步驟S12中進行，該步驟在將資料從設備部件傳送至移動設備之後。 After the partial material processing is performed in the device part, the retrieval with the back can be provided in step S11. Additionally, such a back or back jump can be performed in step S12 after the data is transferred from the device component to the mobile device.

具體地，資料處理的步驟S6可以方便地修改。借助於移動設備中的處理器部分地處理資料或完整地處理資料以及通過移動設備的處理器來控制設備部件的功能部件能夠簡化設備部件，該設備部件只需包含最需要的功能部件和介面，因為計算以及執行軟體演算法能夠在移動設備的現有處理器中進行。 Specifically, the step S6 of the data processing can be easily modified. By partially processing the data or processing the data in its entirety by means of a processor in the mobile device and controlling the functional components of the device components by the processor of the mobile device, the device components can be simplified, the device components only need to contain the most needed functional components and interfaces, Because computing and executing software algorithms can be performed in existing processors of mobile devices.

移動設備需要適於功能部件和設備部件的功能的合適的驅動器和/或軟體，從而使移動設備的處理器控制設備部件和/或控制在其中的功能部件，和/或控制如果存在的設備部件的處理器，和/或執行一些測量以及在彼此當中交換資料和/或信號。圖4示意性描述了為移動設備提供這種驅動器和/或軟體的過程。 A mobile device requires a suitable driver and/or software suitable for the function of the functional component and the component of the device, such that the processor of the mobile device controls the component of the device and/or the functional component controlled therein, and/or controls the component component if present Processors, and/or perform some measurements and exchange data and/or signals among each other. Figure 4 schematically depicts a process for providing such a drive and/or software to a mobile device.

在圖4的步驟S1中，移動設備捕獲附接的其它部件，例如設備部件和在設備部件中的功能部件移動設備能夠自動執行或根據使用者指令執行。 In step S1 of Figure 4, the mobile device captures other components that are attached, such as device components and functional component mobile devices in the device components that can be executed automatically or according to user instructions.

隨後的步驟S20用來啟動在移動設備、設備部件和在設備部件中的功能部件之間的電連接、信號方面連接和/或資料方面連接。然後自動執行設備搜索或功能搜索，上述設備搜索或功能搜索在至少一個設備部件中搜索相對應的屬 性，然後自動安裝合適的驅動器，或顯示可供選擇的驅動器以使用戶專心選擇。 Subsequent step S20 is used to initiate an electrical connection, a signal aspect connection and/or a data aspect connection between the mobile device, the device component and the functional component in the device component. Then automatically performing a device search or a function search, where the device search or function search searches for at least one device component to search for a corresponding genus Sex, then automatically install the appropriate drive, or display the drive to choose from to allow the user to concentrate on the choice.

隨後的檢索步驟S21用於確定移動設備中是否有合適的軟體或合適的驅動器來驅動聯接的設備部件/功能部件或其某些選擇的功能。如果是，將進行根據圖3的第二步驟S2，在該步驟中用於執行移動設備功能的軟體在移動設備處理器中啟動或由移動設備處理器啟動。 A subsequent retrieval step S21 is used to determine if there is a suitable software or suitable driver in the mobile device to drive the coupled device component/function or some of its selected functionality. If so, a second step S2 according to Fig. 3 will be carried out in which the software for performing the mobile device function is activated in the mobile device processor or initiated by the mobile device processor.

如果不是，在隨後的步驟S22中，合適的軟體和/或合適的驅動器將載入移動設備中。具體地，能夠經由在移動設備和設備部件之間的介面設置從設備部件的記憶體或從其功能部件直接地載入驅動器和/或軟體。相對應地，驅動器和/或軟體的這種安裝必須在將設備部件或功能部件初始聯接至移動設備或其它在中間轉換的設備部件期間執行。這造成任何沒必要的單獨提供的資料載體以及相對應的驅動器或軟體，或從網路和/或軟體下載的驅動器，從而使在移動設備處的設備部件運行。 If not, in a subsequent step S22, the appropriate software and/or suitable drive will be loaded into the mobile device. In particular, the drive and/or software can be loaded directly from the memory of the device component or from its functional component via an interface between the mobile device and the device component. Correspondingly, such installation of the drive and/or software must be performed during the initial coupling of the equipment component or functional component to the mobile device or other intermediately converted device component. This results in any separately provided data carrier and corresponding drive or software, or a drive downloaded from the network and/or software, thereby causing the device components at the mobile device to operate.

當執行隨後的啟動時，優選地是，確保移動設備中的軟體和/或驅動器是足夠新的。這種軟體更新可通過訪問在例如網際網路的網路中的合適的記憶體實現，移動設備可與所聯接的網路和/或移動無線系統建立連接。 When performing subsequent startups, it is preferred to ensure that the software and/or drivers in the mobile device are sufficiently new. Such software updates can be implemented by accessing appropriate memory in a network such as the Internet, and the mobile device can establish a connection with the connected network and/or mobile wireless system.

在接下來的部分，步驟S23、軟體和/或驅動器將被安裝在移動設備中供移動設備的使用者可用。然後，過程進行至圖3所示的第二步驟S2。 In the next section, step S23, the software and/or the drive will be installed in the mobile device for use by the user of the mobile device. Then, the process proceeds to the second step S2 shown in FIG.

特別是當使用具有潛在的高性能的處理器的設備 部件時，功能和資料處理還能夠由設備部件的處理器代替移動設備的處理器來執行。有益地是，由設備部件的處理器處理在設備部件中提供的信號和/或資料，並且隨後傳送至移動設備，使得在聯接的設備部件中很快的作出處理之後，移動設備的處理器能夠執行最後的處理，並且如果需要，消耗較小的處理器功率執行評估。 Especially when using devices with potentially high performance processors At the time of the component, the function and data processing can also be performed by the processor of the device component in place of the processor of the mobile device. Advantageously, the signals and/or materials provided in the device components are processed by the processor of the device component and subsequently transmitted to the mobile device such that after processing in the coupled device components, the processor of the mobile device can The final processing is performed and, if necessary, the evaluation is performed by consuming less processor power.

能夠實現的其它修改是以各部件能夠以各種方式在設備部件的空間中分配。這能夠僅使用設備空間的一部分和/或外部設備部件使許多感測器和功能設置在一個設備部件內。 Other modifications that can be implemented are that the various components can be distributed in the space of the device components in various ways. This enables a number of sensors and functions to be placed within one device component using only a portion of the device space and/or external device components.

以模組方式設計的設備部件能夠例如提供許多外掛程式插槽，上述插槽可以***或移除感測器、致動器、電池和其它功能元件。為此目的，如果需要，外掛程式插槽能夠被設計為一個大外掛程式插槽來***彼此靠近或在彼此上部上的多個部件。這特別允許確定外掛程式部件的幾何介面和電介面，使得子劃分允許1/2+1/2或1/2+1/4+1/4空間比例。優選地，如果需要即使在運行操作期間，這樣的實施例應還特別允許替換單獨部件。 A modularly designed device component can, for example, provide a number of plug-in slots that can insert or remove sensors, actuators, batteries, and other functional components. For this purpose, if desired, the plug-in slot can be designed as a large plug-in slot to insert multiple components that are close to each other or on top of each other. This in particular allows the geometric interface and interface of the plug-in component to be determined such that the sub-division allows for a 1/2+1/2 or 1/2+1/4+1/4 spatial ratio. Preferably, such an embodiment should specifically allow replacement of individual components, even if required during operational operations.

設備部件的概念採用大多數智慧型電話的想法，上述智慧型電話具有可移除後蓋從而拿取電池、SIM卡、SD卡等。因此，如果移動設備的內部裝配有能量和/或通信介面，具有任何期望的硬體擴展的設備部件能夠聯接至移動設備，而不是後蓋。這使移動設備變得更厚，但是移動設備可與設備部件模制在一個無縫單元中。由此提供的硬體擴展能夠可選地由 能量源的另一個電池供給，例如燃料電池或醫用特殊感測器、用於領域和/或產業應用的功能裝置或功能部件，具有***讀取設備的***終端、指紋掃描器和集成印表機可。 The concept of device components uses the idea of most smart phones that have removable back covers for taking batteries, SIM cards, SD cards, and the like. Thus, if the interior of the mobile device is equipped with an energy and/or communication interface, device components with any desired hardware expansion can be coupled to the mobile device instead of the back cover. This makes the mobile device thicker, but the mobile device can be molded in a seamless unit with the device components. The hardware extension thus provided can optionally be Another battery supply for energy sources, such as fuel cells or medical special sensors, functional devices or functional components for field and/or industrial applications, credit card terminals with credit card reading devices, fingerprint scanners and integrated printers Machine can.

因此，設備部件是移動設備的硬體擴展，由此移動設備可以是智慧型電話、行動電話、平板電腦、筆記型電腦或其它手持設備。設備部件特別包括一個或多個處理器、功能、感測器、致動器和/或通信介面的單元。 Thus, a device component is a hardware extension of a mobile device, whereby the mobile device can be a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop, or other handheld device. The device components specifically include one or more processors, functions, sensors, actuators, and/or units of communication interfaces.

具體地，為了能在移動設備上使用，設備部件可以被安裝在移動設備上、設置在移動設備頂部上、附接或連接至移動設備，並且能從移動設備移除。在安裝、設置在頂部、附接或連接之後，設備部件代表移動設備的一個單元，由此設備部件應當優選地不與移動設備的邊緣重疊，並且設備部件優選地不包含移動設備，或者只部分包含移動設備。設備部件能夠在視覺上機械地集成，特別是與最終設備無縫集成。 In particular, for use on a mobile device, the device component can be installed on the mobile device, placed on top of the mobile device, attached or connected to the mobile device, and can be removed from the mobile device. After being installed, placed on top, attached or connected, the device component represents a unit of the mobile device, whereby the device component should preferably not overlap with the edge of the mobile device, and the device component preferably does not contain the mobile device, or only a portion Contains mobile devices. Equipment components can be visually mechanically integrated, especially seamlessly with the final equipment.

在另一個實施例中，處於聯接模式下的設備部件至少部分在移動設備的至少兩個或三個側上覆蓋或包含移動設備。 In another embodiment, the device components in the coupled mode at least partially cover or contain the mobile device on at least two or three sides of the mobile device.

因此，聯接設備能夠被設計為夾片，當沒有安裝或鬆開時，該夾片代表獨立部件，當該夾片處於聯接模式下時，包含移動設備以及設備部件，由此將它們機械地附接。還可能地提供用一種夾片預見聯接設備的實施例，上述夾片牢固地附接至移動設備殼體的一部分，或更優選地附接至設備部件殼體的一部分，並且在聯接模式下包含並且附接相鄰部件、相鄰移動設備以及其它設備部件。 Thus, the coupling device can be designed as a clip that, when not installed or released, represents a separate component that, when in the coupled mode, contains the mobile device as well as the device components, thereby mechanically attaching them Pick up. It is also possible to provide an embodiment in which a coupling device is foreseen with a clip that is securely attached to a portion of the mobile device housing, or more preferably to a portion of the device component housing, and that is included in the coupled mode And attach adjacent components, adjacent mobile devices, and other device components.

具體地，在這種實施例中，包括移動設備的其它側或相鄰設備部件的元件還能夠具有一個介面設置並與另外一個位於移動設備的其它側上或相鄰設備部件上的介面設置相接觸。因此，其它側可以是移動設備的窄端壁，並且其它側與移動設備的一側或聯接側相鄰，並且同等大。 In particular, in such an embodiment, the elements comprising the other side or adjacent device components of the mobile device can also have an interface arrangement and interface with another interface located on or adjacent to other devices of the mobile device. contact. Thus, the other side may be the narrow end wall of the mobile device and the other side is adjacent to one side or the coupled side of the mobile device and is equally large.

在又一個實施例中，聯接設備不是必須在彼此聯接的部件之間隱藏，而是還能夠被設計為在移動設備側上和其它設備部件外壁上的可見夾片從而實現在移動設備20和設備部件30之間的機械剛性連接。另選的或另外的實施例還能夠以磁聯接元件的形式提供聯接設備。 In yet another embodiment, the coupling device does not have to be hidden between the components that are coupled to each other, but can also be designed as visible clips on the mobile device side and on the outer wall of other device components to enable implementation at the mobile device 20 and device. A mechanically rigid connection between the components 30. Alternative or additional embodiments are also capable of providing the coupling device in the form of a magnetic coupling element.

在又一個實施例中，設備部件能夠與移動設備分別使用。設備部件能夠用來執行其獨立測量，並且其例如醫療測量值的測量值能夠在聯接至移動設備之後和/或傳送至遠端站之後被進一步處理。附圖標記列在下麵的表格中： In yet another embodiment, the device components can be used separately from the mobile device. The device component can be used to perform its independent measurements, and its measurements, such as medical measurements, can be further processed after being coupled to the mobile device and/or transmitted to the remote station. The reference numerals are listed in the table below:

本發明的適配器的示意性實施例Illustrative embodiment of an adapter of the present invention

在另一個實施例中，本發明是用於電子通信設備的適配器。當適配器連接至電子通信設備時，該適配器使電子通信設備執行其它功能。 In another embodiment, the invention is an adapter for an electronic communication device. When the adapter is connected to an electronic communication device, the adapter causes the electronic communication device to perform other functions.

參照圖5a至圖5b，該實施例的適配器具有框架104，且夾片(未示出)位於相對的兩端上用作將框架104聯接至電子通信設備的固定機構。在框架104的中心中存在從框架104的一端延伸至框架104的相對端的脊部114。框架104具有多個對接區域106。在該實施例中，存在8個對接區域。4個對接區域106從脊部114的每一側延伸。每一個對接區域106具有空間112，且由從脊部114垂直延伸用作固定機構的兩條軌道108限定空間112的兩側，。每一條軌道108具有設置在軌道108和對接區域106的基部109之間的槽111。銷連接器110形式的4個電互連位置沿長邊均勻地設置在脊部114的每一側處。對接區域106的空間112都具有相同的尺寸和形狀，為清楚說明，其相對的尺寸在圖5a中用虛線盒示出。 Referring to Figures 5a-5b, the adapter of this embodiment has a frame 104 with clips (not shown) on opposite ends for use as a securing mechanism for coupling the frame 104 to an electronic communication device. There is a ridge 114 extending from one end of the frame 104 to the opposite end of the frame 104 in the center of the frame 104. The frame 104 has a plurality of docking areas 106. In this embodiment, there are 8 docking areas. Four docking regions 106 extend from each side of the ridge 114. Each of the docking regions 106 has a space 112 and is defined by two rails 108 extending vertically from the ridges 114 for use as a securing mechanism. Each track 108 has a slot 111 disposed between the track 108 and the base 109 of the docking region 106. Four electrical interconnection locations in the form of pin connectors 110 are evenly disposed at each side of the ridges 114 along the long sides. The spaces 112 of the docking regions 106 all have the same size and shape, and for the sake of clarity, their relative dimensions are shown in Figure 5a by dashed boxes.

圖6a和6b示出了封裝102的一個示例，該封裝102具有殼體118、沿著兩側設置用作附接機構的兩個突出部117和具有與軌道108互補的形狀的兩個槽116。槽111與突出部117互補使得封裝102能夠沿著軌道108滑入對接區域106以被牢固地固定。圖6b還示出了封裝102具有連接介面120。連接介面120包含多個用於電連接至框架104的銷連接器110的金屬孔。借助於在軌道108、槽116和突出部117之間的互補鎖定和在銷連接器110和連接介面120之間的連接，封裝102能夠在對接區域106上牢固地對接。為了描述方便， 這種類型的封裝102被稱為單獨封裝。 Figures 6a and 6b show an example of a package 102 having a housing 118, two projections 117 disposed as attachment mechanisms along both sides, and two slots 116 having a shape complementary to the rails 108. . The slot 111 is complementary to the protrusion 117 such that the package 102 can slide along the track 108 into the docking area 106 to be securely secured. Figure 6b also shows that the package 102 has a connection interface 120. The connection interface 120 includes a plurality of metal holes for electrically connecting to the pin connectors 110 of the frame 104. By virtue of the complementary locking between the track 108, the slot 116 and the tab 117 and the connection between the pin connector 110 and the connection interface 120, the package 102 can be securely docked on the docking area 106. For the convenience of description, This type of package 102 is referred to as a separate package.

圖7示出了適配器的安裝狀態。適配器100由框架104和***其中的8個封裝102形成。一些封裝102在其殼體118中包含電子部件，這能在電子通信設備中實現期望的功能。在其中具有電子部件的封裝102被稱為電子封裝或有源封裝。使用者通過將不同的電子封裝***框架104能夠增加不同的功能，直到封裝區域106的最大數量。但是，用戶可能只需要一個或兩個其它功能。為了保持適配器100的完整，可以使用只具有槽116、突出部117和連接介面120而沒有功能電子部件的封裝102，並且這種類型的封裝102稱為假封裝或無源封裝。 Figure 7 shows the installed state of the adapter. The adapter 100 is formed by a frame 104 and eight packages 102 inserted therein. Some packages 102 contain electronic components in their housing 118 that enable the desired functionality to be achieved in an electronic communication device. A package 102 having electronic components therein is referred to as an electronic package or an active package. The user can add different functions by inserting different electronic packages into the frame 104 up to the maximum number of package areas 106. However, the user may only need one or two other features. To maintain the integrity of the adapter 100, a package 102 having only the slots 116, the protrusions 117, and the connection interface 120 without functional electronic components can be used, and this type of package 102 is referred to as a dummy package or a passive package.

一般來說，為了實現複雜的功能，需要更多的電子部件來實現該功能，並且在各電子部件之間的互連相對複雜，導致封裝102的較大尺寸。為了嵌入較大量的電子部件，封裝102能夠被製成預定尺寸和預定形狀的多倍的尺寸和形狀，例如封裝的尺寸是單獨封裝的兩倍、三倍或四倍。另選地，封裝102能夠由於其性質而是大尺寸，例如電池封裝的尺寸可以是單獨封裝的兩倍或三倍。在圖8a、8b和8c中示出了雙封裝102的示例，該示例分別是單獨封裝的尺寸和形狀的兩倍、三倍和四倍。在封裝102的中部的虛線指示用來表示單獨封裝的尺寸。該封裝102具有兩個連接介面120以連接至銷連接器110。為了描述方便，單獨封裝的體積和形狀以及尺寸被稱為“空間單元”。多個空間單元的封裝指的是具有等於尺寸的多倍的體積，而形狀建立在單獨封裝上，就像樂高套裝但是可以在 不同側上延伸的封裝。 In general, in order to implement complex functions, more electronic components are required to implement this function, and the interconnection between the various electronic components is relatively complicated, resulting in a larger size of the package 102. In order to embed a larger amount of electronic components, the package 102 can be made to have multiple sizes and shapes of a predetermined size and a predetermined shape, for example, the size of the package is twice, three or four times that of the individual package. Alternatively, the package 102 can be large in size due to its nature, for example, the size of the battery package can be two or three times that of a separate package. An example of a dual package 102 is shown in Figures 8a, 8b and 8c, which are twice, three and four times the size and shape of the individual packages, respectively. The dashed lines in the middle of the package 102 indicate the dimensions used to represent the individual packages. The package 102 has two connection interfaces 120 for connection to the pin connector 110. For ease of description, the volume and shape and size of the individual packages are referred to as "space units." The encapsulation of multiple spatial units refers to a volume that is equal to multiples of the size, and the shape is built on a separate package, just like the Lego package but can be A package that extends over different sides.

在使用中，具有假封裝的框架104能夠被用作適配器100。當使用時，用戶能夠將適配器100卡到電子通信設備上以給電子通信設備增加其他功能。參照圖9，框架104的前側針對將要卡上的特定類型的電子通信設備具有一個有特定尺寸的部位124。根據電子通信設備的不同類型/型號，部位124的尺寸和形狀可以不同。框架104還具有用作將框架104電連接至電子通信設備的連接模組的電連接器使得框架104能與電子通信設備通信並且最終能夠建立對接在框架104上的封裝102和電子通信設備之間的通信。電連接器可以是微型USB連接器、30針對接連接器、閃電連接器、24針對接連接器和可攜式數位媒體介面等，取決於電子通信設備使用的介面。在框架104中使用電連接器是可選的。如果不使用電連接器，框架104將安裝有無線設備以與電子通信設備建立無線通訊。無線通訊能夠通過用作連接模組的藍牙、近場通信(NFC)、Zipbee、WiFi或紅外線實現。一旦建立框架104和電子通信設備之間的通信，無論是通過有線裝置或無線裝置，對接在框架104上的封裝102和電子通信設備就能夠彼此通信。在一個優選實施例中，電子封裝，即具有電子部件的封裝102，安裝有相容軟體驅動器(下文稱為驅動器)使得電子封裝一旦經由框架104連接至電子通信設備能夠立刻起作用。在另一個實施例中，電子封裝不預先安裝有驅動器，且電子通信設備需要從網際網路或通過外部設備下載相關的驅動器。在一個實施例中，電子封裝沒有裝配處理器，這種電子封裝是電子通信設備的附 加硬體。這種電子封裝受電子通信設備的處理器控制並且將接收來自電子通信設備的處理器的指令以實現期望的功能。在又一個實施例中，電子封裝裝配有處理器並且能夠單獨執行期望功能，不必通過電子通信設備的處理器。清楚的是，如果更多的功能必須由電子通信設備的處理器執行，那麼電子通信設備的處理速度將下降。如果電子封裝具有它們自己的處理器並且能夠獨立地運行，那麼它們將不需要佔用電子通信設備的處理資源，並且電子通信設備仍能夠順暢地運行並執行其它功能。當不使用電子封裝的功能時，電子封裝的處理器能夠可以成為輔助處理單元或電子通信設備的共同處理器，由此產生更好的性能。另一方面，電子封裝的處理器和電子通信設備的處理器能夠被程式設計為共同工作以執行其它功能，由此加快整體運行速度。 In use, the frame 104 with the dummy package can be used as the adapter 100. When in use, the user can snap the adapter 100 onto the electronic communication device to add other functionality to the electronic communication device. Referring to Figure 9, the front side of the frame 104 has a portion 124 of a particular size for a particular type of electronic communication device to be cardd. The size and shape of the locations 124 can vary depending on the type/model of the electronic communication device. The frame 104 also has an electrical connector that serves as a connection module for electrically connecting the frame 104 to the electronic communication device such that the frame 104 can communicate with the electronic communication device and can ultimately establish a connection between the package 102 and the electronic communication device that is docked on the frame 104. Communication. The electrical connector can be a micro USB connector, a 30 dock connector, a lightning connector, a 24 dock connector, and a portable digital media interface, depending on the interface used by the electronic communication device. The use of an electrical connector in the frame 104 is optional. If an electrical connector is not used, the frame 104 will be equipped with a wireless device to establish wireless communication with the electronic communication device. Wireless communication can be achieved by using Bluetooth as a connection module, Near Field Communication (NFC), Zipbee, WiFi or infrared. Once the communication between the framework 104 and the electronic communication device is established, the package 102 and the electronic communication device docked on the frame 104 can communicate with each other, whether through a wired device or a wireless device. In a preferred embodiment, the electronic package, i.e., the package 102 having electronic components, is mounted with a compatible software driver (hereinafter referred to as a driver) such that the electronic package can function immediately upon connection to the electronic communication device via the frame 104. In another embodiment, the electronic package is not pre-installed with a drive, and the electronic communication device needs to download the associated drive from the Internet or through an external device. In one embodiment, the electronic package is not equipped with a processor, such an electronic package is attached to an electronic communication device Add hardware. Such an electronic package is controlled by a processor of the electronic communication device and will receive instructions from a processor of the electronic communication device to achieve the desired functionality. In yet another embodiment, the electronic package is equipped with a processor and is capable of performing the desired functions separately without having to pass through the processor of the electronic communication device. It is clear that if more functions have to be performed by the processor of the electronic communication device, the processing speed of the electronic communication device will decrease. If the electronic packages have their own processors and can operate independently, they will not need to occupy the processing resources of the electronic communication devices, and the electronic communication devices will still be able to run smoothly and perform other functions. When the functionality of the electronic package is not used, the processor of the electronic package can be a co-processor of the auxiliary processing unit or the electronic communication device, thereby resulting in better performance. On the other hand, the processor of the electronic package and the processor of the electronic communication device can be programmed to work together to perform other functions, thereby speeding up the overall operation speed.

在又一個實施例中，本發明使用識別系統。每一個電子封裝具有唯一的識別號碼使得電子通信設備能夠識別連接至其的每一個電子封裝。在一個實施例中，唯一的識別碼等於用於在網際網路上識別乙太網設備的MAC號，框架104也具有用於由電子通信設備識別的唯一的識別號。通過識別系統，電子通信設備能夠選擇地與不同的電子封裝通信，並且將指令精確地發送至相對應的電子封裝。識別系統還促進不同的電子封裝和框架104之間的資訊交換。一旦適配器連接至電子通信設備，框架104的識別號和電子封裝被識別並且由電子通信設備存儲，並且由不同的電子封裝捕獲的資料與識別號相關聯以方便在不同的電子封裝、框架104或電子通信設備之間的 資料交換。 In yet another embodiment, the present invention uses an identification system. Each electronic package has a unique identification number that enables the electronic communication device to identify each electronic package that is connected thereto. In one embodiment, the unique identification code is equal to the MAC number used to identify the Ethernet device on the Internet, and the frame 104 also has a unique identification number for identification by the electronic communication device. Through the identification system, the electronic communication device is capable of selectively communicating with different electronic packages and accurately transmitting instructions to the corresponding electronic package. The identification system also facilitates the exchange of information between different electronic packages and the framework 104. Once the adapter is connected to the electronic communication device, the identification number and electronic package of the frame 104 are identified and stored by the electronic communication device, and the data captured by the different electronic packages is associated with the identification number to facilitate in different electronic packages, frames 104 or Between electronic communication devices Exchange of information.

按照客戶的要求，具有不同功能的不同封裝102能夠***框架104。如果不是所有對接區域106被電子封裝裝滿，可以使用假封裝來填充剩餘的對接區域106。當用戶希望增加新的功能時，假封裝能夠被電子封裝替換。另外，有源封裝和無源封裝可交換。如果不再需要某個特定的功能，具有該特定功能的電子封裝能夠被具有不同功能的電子封裝替換。框架104的電氣互連位置彼此互連。這允許對接在對接區域106上的各電子封裝之間的直接通信和資料交換。例如氣候分析的一些特定的功能可能需要例如溫度、濕度和壓力等的不同的資料以完成分析。電子封裝可能只具有一個分析功能。為了執行氣候分析，具有不同感測器的其它電子封裝能夠被用來收集需要的資料。分析系統通過將具有分析功能的電子封裝和具有不同感測器的電子封裝相結合而形成。通過將各種電子封裝結合和連接在一起，能夠實現不同的複雜功能。這是除了加大封裝尺寸到單獨封裝的兩倍、三倍或四倍以外，實現複雜功能的其它方法。 Different packages 102 having different functions can be inserted into the frame 104 as required by the customer. If not all of the docking regions 106 are filled with electronic packages, a dummy package can be used to fill the remaining docking regions 106. When a user wishes to add a new function, the fake package can be replaced by an electronic package. In addition, active and passive packages are interchangeable. If a particular function is no longer needed, the electronic package with that particular function can be replaced by an electronic package with different functions. The electrical interconnection locations of the frame 104 are interconnected to each other. This allows for direct communication and data exchange between the various electronic packages on the docking area 106. For example, some specific functions of climate analysis may require different data such as temperature, humidity, and pressure to complete the analysis. Electronic packaging may only have one analysis function. To perform climate analysis, other electronic packages with different sensors can be used to collect the required data. The analysis system is formed by combining an electronic package with analytical functions and an electronic package with different sensors. By combining and connecting various electronic packages, different complex functions can be realized. This is another way to implement complex functions in addition to increasing the package size to twice, three or four times the individual package.

在另一個實施例中，電子封裝只具有電子部件，而沒有電源，因此電子封裝由電子通信設備供電。在又一個實施例中，框架104包含電源，因此電子封裝將由框架104供電。在又一個實施例中，電子封裝是可為其它電子封裝供電的外部電池，同時也是電子通信設備的附加電源。 In another embodiment, the electronic package has only electronic components and no power source, so the electronic package is powered by the electronic communication device. In yet another embodiment, the frame 104 contains a power source such that the electronic package will be powered by the frame 104. In yet another embodiment, the electronic package is an external battery that can power other electronic packages and is an additional power source for the electronic communication device.

能夠由使用者選擇的電子封裝的功能包括但不限於，血液工作確定、卡讀取、呼吸和/或血液內酒精分析、物 理和/或化學值檢測和分析、電測量、溫度測量、壓力測量、氣體測量、濕度和/或流體檢測、圖像生成、資料加密、資料列印、指紋掃描、加速度測量、粗糙度測量、位置測量、分佈和/或距離測量、閃光、鐳射發射等。 The functions of the electronic package that can be selected by the user include, but are not limited to, blood work determination, card reading, breathing and/or blood alcohol analysis, And/or chemical value detection and analysis, electrical measurement, temperature measurement, pressure measurement, gas measurement, humidity and/or fluid detection, image generation, data encryption, data printing, fingerprint scanning, acceleration measurement, roughness measurement, Position measurement, distribution and / or distance measurement, flash, laser emission, etc.

現在，資料收集是重要的，因為收集的資料能夠用來分析人類行為、環境研究、未來趨勢預測和進行決策等。具有各種感測器的封裝102能夠記錄資料並且在它們自己的記憶體內存儲資料。在封裝102中的資料由於安全原因被加密。即使封裝102連接至電子通信設備，存儲在其中的資料不能被電子通信設備訪問。這種設置是預設的，並且可以由被授權人改變或通過製造商提供的安全金鑰改變。如果授權使用者訪問資料，他/她能夠將資料複製到電子通信設備。如果電子通信設備能夠訪問網際網路，資料能夠被上傳至中央伺服器進行分析或隨後的操作。作為一個示例，電子封裝能夠用來捕獲使用者的生理資料或附近的環境資料。所收集的資料能夠被上傳至雲伺服器用於監視目的或分析目的來觀察使用者的健康情況或確定環境污染級別。資料還能夠在不同的組織中間被共用，但是如果個人不選擇公開，將不公開個人資訊。如果使用者/個人選擇將個人資訊公開，那麼將公開個人資訊。 Data collection is now important because the data collected can be used to analyze human behavior, environmental research, future trend predictions, and decision making. A package 102 with various sensors is capable of recording data and storing the data in their own memory. The data in package 102 is encrypted for security reasons. Even if the package 102 is connected to an electronic communication device, the data stored therein cannot be accessed by the electronic communication device. This setting is preset and can be changed by the licensee or by the security key provided by the manufacturer. If an authorized user accesses the material, he/she can copy the material to the electronic communication device. If the electronic communication device is able to access the Internet, the data can be uploaded to a central server for analysis or subsequent operations. As an example, an electronic package can be used to capture a user's physiological data or nearby environmental data. The collected data can be uploaded to the cloud server for monitoring purposes or analysis purposes to observe the user's health or determine the level of environmental pollution. Data can also be shared among different organizations, but personal information will not be disclosed if the individual does not choose to make it public. If the user/person chooses to disclose personal information, personal information will be disclosed.

具有不同設置的適配器的另一個示意性實施例Another illustrative embodiment of an adapter having different settings

圖10、11a和11b示出了根據本發明的另一個實施例的適配器100的不同設置。該適配器100的框架104具有相對的端部，上述端部由在它們之間延伸的兩個平行的平板連接。空的區域134設置在兩個板之間。用作第一板的實心件136 跨過兩個端部和多個空間112延伸，其中一個在圖11a中示出為虛線的矩形。在每一個空間112的中心中，存在用作電互連部位的金屬觸頭126。第二板是類似魚骨形狀的魚骨125，上述魚骨125由柱140和從柱140均勻延伸出來的延伸件142組成，相鄰延伸件限定它們之間的凹陷區域。在每一個空間112中間是設置在實心件136的邊緣的軌道，該軌道與延伸件142平行並且之間相對。在凹陷和金屬觸頭126之間的空的空間一般限定對接區域106的位置。這種設置的優點在於能具有多於4個空間單元的多個封裝(在脊部的一側只有四個封裝區域)。例如，使用圖10、11a和11b的設置，能讓用戶使用尺寸為多達8個空間單元的封裝。 Figures 10, 11a and 11b illustrate different arrangements of the adapter 100 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. The frame 104 of the adapter 100 has opposite ends that are joined by two parallel plates extending therebetween. An empty area 134 is provided between the two boards. Solid piece 136 used as the first plate Extending across the two ends and the plurality of spaces 112, one of which is shown as a dashed rectangle in Figure 11a. In the center of each of the spaces 112, there are metal contacts 126 that serve as electrical interconnections. The second plate is a fishbone 125 shaped like a fishbone, the fishbone 125 being comprised of a post 140 and an extension 142 extending evenly from the post 140, the adjacent extensions defining a recessed area therebetween. In the middle of each space 112 is a track disposed at the edge of the solid piece 136 that is parallel to and opposite the extension 142. The empty space between the recess and the metal contact 126 generally defines the location of the docking region 106. An advantage of this arrangement is that it can have multiple packages of more than 4 spatial units (only four package areas on one side of the ridge). For example, using the settings of Figures 10, 11a, and 11b, the user can use a package that is up to 8 spatial units.

在該實施例中，如圖12a和12b所示，具有殼體118的封裝108還具有沿著兩側用作附接機構的兩個突出部117和具有與軌道互補形狀的兩個凹槽116。插槽111與突出部117互補使得封裝102能夠沿著軌道108滑入對接區域106以被牢固地固定。連接介面120設置在封裝102的底部。 In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 12a and 12b, the package 108 having the housing 118 also has two projections 117 that serve as attachment mechanisms along both sides and two recesses 116 that have complementary shapes to the rails. . The slot 111 is complementary to the protrusion 117 such that the package 102 can slide along the track 108 into the docking area 106 to be securely secured. The connection interface 120 is disposed at the bottom of the package 102.

參照圖13a和13b，在封裝102的下側中的連接介面120是互補金屬觸頭以與對接區域106的金屬觸頭126電連接。由於魚骨126只是平蓋，為了更牢固地固定封裝102，封裝102的端側可具有孔130和向外延伸並且垂直於端側表面的桿132。另一個封裝102能夠具有相同的孔130和桿132，但是他們的位置互換使得當插在一起時，這兩個封裝102能夠形成穩定的鎖定。 Referring to Figures 13a and 13b, the connection interface 120 in the underside of the package 102 is a complementary metal contact to electrically connect with the metal contacts 126 of the docking region 106. Since the fishbone 126 is only a flat cover, in order to more securely secure the package 102, the end side of the package 102 can have a hole 130 and a stem 132 that extends outwardly and perpendicular to the end side surface. The other package 102 can have the same apertures 130 and rods 132, but their positions are interchanged such that when inserted together, the two packages 102 can form a stable lock.

除了機械結構的差異，在該實施例中的適配器100 與之前的實施例中描述的適配器具有相同的功能和用途。這裡不再重複描述。 In addition to the difference in mechanical structure, the adapter 100 in this embodiment It has the same function and use as the adapter described in the previous embodiment. The description will not be repeated here.

由此，已經充分描述了本發明的示意性實施例。雖然說明書有關特定的實施例，但是對本領域技術人員很清楚地是，本發明可以用這些特定細節的變型來實施。因此，本發明不應理解為限於本文提出的實施例。 Thus, the illustrative embodiments of the invention have been fully described. While the specification has been described with respect to the specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art Therefore, the invention should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

例如，在示意性實施例中對接區域106的數量是8，但是很清楚，根據需要和用途可以是任意數量，例如，2、3、4、5、6、7、8、12、16等。封裝102還能夠具有在其上的顯示單元以顯示參數。一般來說，具有單獨封裝2倍尺寸的封裝102具有兩個連接介面120，並且具有單獨封裝3倍尺寸的封裝102具有三個連接介面120，以此類推。但是，連接介面120的數量可以改變。例如，具有單獨封裝4倍尺寸的封裝102能夠具有1個、2個、3個或4個連接介面120。對連接介面120的多樣性的需求取決於電子功能和封裝102的需要，並且因此能夠由製造商確定。 For example, the number of docking regions 106 is eight in the illustrative embodiment, but it is clear that any number can be used as needed, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, and the like. The package 102 can also have a display unit thereon to display parameters. In general, a package 102 having a double package size of a single package has two connection interfaces 120, and a package 102 having a single package size of 3 times has three connection interfaces 120, and so on. However, the number of connection interfaces 120 can vary. For example, a package 102 having a 4x size package can have 1, 2, 3, or 4 connection interfaces 120. The need for the diversity of the connection interface 120 depends on the electronic function and the needs of the package 102 and can therefore be determined by the manufacturer.

另外，框架104的固定機構是可選的。框架104能夠從電子通信設備完全分開，並且在框架104和電子通信設備之間的通信能夠通過有線和無線裝置實現。 Additionally, the securing mechanism of the frame 104 is optional. The framework 104 can be completely separated from the electronic communication device, and communication between the framework 104 and the electronic communication device can be implemented by wired and wireless means.

此外，在上述實施例中軌道被用作對接區域的固定機構。但是，也可以使用其它裝置，例如磁聯接器和氣動聯接器。另外，在上述實施例中，具有圓形銷的銷連接器被用作對接區域的電互連位置。還能夠使用其它連接器，例如具有其它形狀的銷/銷孔、銷棒的銷連接器和卡邊緣連接器。 Further, in the above embodiment, the rail is used as a fixing mechanism of the docking area. However, other devices such as magnetic couplers and pneumatic couplers can also be used. Further, in the above embodiment, the pin connector having the circular pin is used as the electrical interconnection position of the docking region. Other connectors can also be used, such as pin/pin holes with other shapes, pin connectors for pin bars, and card edge connectors.

此外，上述實施例中提到的封裝的形狀是正方形。但是，對本領域技術人員清楚地是，也可用其它形狀製造封裝，例如平行四邊形和三角形。還顯而易見的是，適配器的其它元件，例如固定結構和電互連位置，可以根據使用的封裝調整其幾何形狀和取向。另外，適配器可以聯接至電子通信設備的任何部分，但是優選地聯接在電子通信設備的後側。 Further, the shape of the package mentioned in the above embodiment is a square. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other shapes can be used to make the package, such as parallelograms and triangles. It will also be apparent that other components of the adapter, such as the fixed structure and electrical interconnection locations, can be adjusted in geometry and orientation depending on the package used. Additionally, the adapter can be coupled to any portion of the electronic communication device, but is preferably coupled to the rear side of the electronic communication device.
