METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PROVIDING ELECTRICAL ENERGY AND DATA THROUGH A PROTECTIVE CASE

摘要

The invention discloses devices and methods for providing electrical energy and/or data from inside a protective case to an electrical device on the outside of the protective case. The instant invention, in some embodiments, places a battery pack or data transfer element in the back of a waterproof camera case and directs energy and/or data outside of the case to a peripheral such as a flashlight or WiFi router. The instant invention keeps the slender profile of GoPro and similar devices while allowing for added functionality to improve the use and performance of such electronic gear.

主权项

1. A device for providing electrical energy or data from inside a protective case to an electrical device located outside of said protective case, including:
a first portion of a case, said first portion adapted to reversibly attach to a second portion of said case to form a complete case for physical protection of an electronic device located inside and separate from said case; at least one energy-data transfer unit adapted to provide energy and/or data to an electrical device located on an outside of said case, wherein said energy-data transfer unit is adapted to fit inside said first portion of said case; and, at least one electrical member embedded across a side of said first portion of said case, wherein said electrical member is adapted to be in electrical connection with said at least one energy-data transfer unit on said inside of said case and with said electrical device on said outside of said case.
