METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR BATTERY LIFE EXTENSION AND PERIPHERAL EXPANSION OF A WEARABLE DATA COLLECTION DEVICE

摘要

An apparatus for providing an external power supply, memory device, camera, and/or other peripheral capabilities to a head-mounted data collection device may include a first portion releasably connecting to the data collection device. The first portion may have a first data port interface configured for connection to a corresponding data port interface of the data collection device. The apparatus may have a second portion releasably connectable to the first portion, the second portion including an internal data port interface configured for connection to a corresponding internal data port interface of the first portion, a power cell module, and a power supply interface configured for connection to a corresponding power supply input of the head-mounted wearable data collection device. The first portion and/or the second portion may include interface logic for receiving data via the first data port and command logic for issuing commands to the data collection device.
