Mobile device controller

摘要

An apparatus can have a casing that provides a first rigid interface that is configured to engage a second rigid interface of a mobile electronics device to form a direct electrical connection via rigid attachment. The casing may further have a charge controller connected to a circuitry board and configured to distribute charge power from at least a solar panel and external power input to a rechargeable battery.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a circuitry board housed in a casing and configured with a first interface configured to engage a mobile electronics device, the interface forming a direct electrical connection via rigid attachment of the first interface and a second interface of the mobile electronics device, wherein the casing provides not more than a three sided open U-shaped structure with an absence of structure between the vertical portions of the U-shaped structure in which the mobile electronics device nests, such that the mobile electronics device is confined by the open U-shaped three sided structure, and in which the absence of structure between the vertical portions of the U-shaped structure minimizes the weight of the U-shaped structure; and a charge controller connected to the circuitry board, the charge controller configured to manage power distribution at least between a power sources of the circuitry board, a power source of the mobile electronics device and external power source.
