SYSTEMS FOR ENABLING CHASSIS-COUPLED MODULAR MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

A system for enabling a chassis-coupled modular mobile electronic device includes a chassis, a set of module couplers (coupled to the chassis) that removably and mechanically couple modules of the modular mobile electronic device to the chassis, a module communication network configured to enable data transfer between the modules through the module communication network when the modules are coupled to the chassis, and a module power network configured to enable power transfer between the modules when the modules are coupled to the chassis.

1. A system for enabling a chassis-coupled modular mobile electronic device comprising:
a chassis comprising a front module coupler backplane and a rear module coupler backplane;
the front module coupler backplane comprising a first set of module couplers;the rear module coupler backplane comprising a second set of module couplers;wherein the second set of module couplers is defined by a spine extending along the length of the chassis and a set of ribs positioned perpendicular to the spine and extending from the spine to a perimeter of the first module coupler backplane; and a modular electronic device enablement system comprising a module communication network, a module power network, and a set of module interfaces;
each of the set of module interfaces positioned within a module coupler of the chassis;wherein the set of module interfaces communicatively couples modules of the modular mobile electronic device to the module communication network and electrically couples modules of the modular mobile electronic device to the module power network.
