Description

The present invention relates to a case for carrying an electric device, which enables charging of the electric device during carrying.

Conventional portable electrical equipment cases, as represented by things for smartphones and tablet PCs,
There are things aimed at preventing scratches and absorbing shocks when dropping electrical equipment.

Conventional portable electrical equipment cases, as represented by things for smartphones,
There are devices that have equipment to be attached to belts and bags, and have improved portability.

Conventional charging equipment includes an electrical outlet, a USB terminal, an external rechargeable battery, a dry battery, a solar battery, etc. connected to an electrical device with a cable for charging.

First, in relation to claims 1 and 2, there are the following problems at present.

Conventional portable electrical equipment cases have only the basic functions as cases, that is, prevention of scratches / breakage and improvement of portability.

Another problem is that electric devices, like smartphones and tablet PCs, have a built-in battery that can be used for a day? There are things that are a big concern.
This problem has led to a situation where the functions of smartphones and tablet PCs have to be restricted in order to extend the battery life.
Examples include turning off the GPS function, turning off the built-in antenna from time to time, or restricting communication with the cloud or server.
This makes it impossible to use the most useful functions that smartphones and tablet PCs should have.
In response to this, improvements in the performance of batteries built in electric devices and various charging means are currently being sought.

About this charging means, the user must charge at a fixed point (from the outlet / USB terminal),
Or, even if the user can charge while moving, there are only items (from dry cells or from solar cells) that do not need extra equipment.

Specifically, there are the following two points regarding the charging method at a fixed point (connecting to an outlet / USB terminal).
One is that most of the electrical devices, especially smartphones and tablet PCs, are used while on the go, and when the built-in battery needs to be charged, you have to go to a place with an outlet. For this reason, smartphones and tablet PCs that originally provide users with freedom and convenience have constrained their actions.
Secondly, since the smartphone or tablet PC must be placed near the outlet or USB terminal for a long time during charging, the user cannot move during charging, and the user's behavior is greatly restricted. I will join.

Next, as a problem regarding a charging method (a method of connecting an electric device to a dry cell, an external rechargeable battery, or a solar cell) that is possible while going out
The electrical equipment itself, cables, and power supply are complicated, and extra equipment that is not compactly packed must be connected via a cable, resulting in considerable hindrance to portability and operability. There is.

In addition to the above, as a comparison between charging using a cable and contactless charging, there is a trouble of inserting a cable extending from a power source into an electric device when charging using a cable. (Related to claims 3 and 4)

The configuration at the time of implementation according to claim 1 solves the problems described in 0006 to 0010 by the following method.

The electric device and the rechargeable battery are put in respective cases, and are connected by a power cable prepared separately from the present invention. In addition, this is attached to the external device using the part where the case is attached to the external device.
As a result, even when the user is out of the office, charging is always possible while the electric device is in the case, so that the internal battery itself does not need to be charged in the first place.
In addition, since the charging equipment is compactly integrated and integrated with the case, the charging device does not get in the way.

The configuration at the time of implementation according to claim 2 is the method described in 0014, in particular, attached to one device selected from the group consisting of clothes, accessories, and bags. Thus, as shown in 0014, the problems described in 0006 to 0010 are solved. In this case, the improvement of the convenience for the user is particularly remarkable.

The configuration at the time of implementation according to claim 3 or 4 solves the problems described in 0006 to 0011 by the following method.

A rechargeable battery that can be contactlessly charged with an electric device is placed in a case, and this is appropriately attached to an external device.
At this point, the same effect as described in 0014 can be obtained.
In addition, since the rechargeable battery is capable of non-contact charging, the charging starts when the electric device is put into the case.
Therefore, it is possible to use an electric device while performing charging so simply that there is no need to connect cables and care about charging problems.

For the configuration according to claim 1,
Because the case is equipped with a rechargeable battery and a charging function is added, it is possible to charge on the go at the same time while putting electrical equipment in the case and preventing damage and damage due to use while going out with the cover Become.
This eliminates the need to charge the battery while you are out and avoids having to go to a place with an outlet or USB terminal to charge.
In particular, when a car, a bicycle, or a train is considered as an external device on which the electric device is mounted, the electric device can be used without having to worry about the state of charge even while moving.
In addition, unlike the method of connecting dry batteries, charging is performed in a state in which the electric device is naturally stored, so that the charger can be used comfortably without being in the way when using the electric device.

With respect to the configuration according to claim 2, the case can be attached to one device selected from the group consisting of clothes, accessories, and bags.
For this reason, a remarkable effect appears especially when a smart phone is selected as an electrical device.
Since this is always carried in daily life, it is currently put in a pocket or bag of clothes, but it is somewhat large to put in a pocket and is frequently taken out to put in a bag.
Therefore, it is meaningful to carry a dedicated case by attaching it to clothes or bags. At the same time, in the present invention, as described in 0018, a smartphone can be used without worrying about the state of charge. You will be able to do it.
As a result, it became indispensable for communication and information gathering from daily life to business scenes today, and it became a major obstacle for the use of smartphones, which has increased in importance.
This solves the problem that the battery cannot withstand all day use and needs to be charged halfway.
In addition, the solution to this charging problem is to collect, transmit and store information on the go with the most useful functions of smartphones, which were limited to extend battery life, the GPS function, and sufficient traffic with the cloud and servers.・ It means that you will be able to fully demonstrate things like organizing.
In addition, this method, like the method of connecting dry cells and solar cells, feels its existence because the connection of extra charging equipment that is disturbing especially when going out is integrated in a compact and integrated case. Things are almost gone.
In addition, since charging is always performed when a smartphone is not used, it is possible to avoid the situation of being out of charge, and it is not necessary to say that a dry cell is connected for urgent charging. It becomes possible to use it.
This is a great advantage when using smartphones that often move around during or between uses.
