Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to mobile electronic device carriers and specifically to a device carrier with support functions for aiding in the mobile devices portable use.
  • the mobile cell phone to PC ratio has exceed four the ratio is increasing. These currently number nearly a billion cell phones per year.
  • Mobile electronic devices are increasing exponentially in the market place.
  • many mobile devices are not necessarily wireless communication devices such as MP3 players with audio and or video. Some of these devices have novel use and some are displacing many functions which are currently done by non-mobile devices.
  • Mobile phones often have features beyond sending text messages and making voice calls, including Internet browsing, music MP3 playback, memo recording, personal organizer functions, e-mail, instant messaging, built-in cameras and camcorders, games, radio, Push-to-Talk (PTT), infrared and Bluetooth connectivity, call registers, ability to watch streaming video or download video for later viewing, video calling and serve as a wireless modem for a PC, and soon will also serve as a console of sorts to online games and other high quality games.
  • the total value of mobile data services exceeds the value of paid services on the Internet, and was worth 31 billion dollars in 2006.
  • the largest categories of mobile services are music, picture downloads, videogaming, adult entertainment, gambling, video/TV.
  • a common characteristic is that these devices are becoming larger and more power hungry. Ways of carrying and operation of these devices with hands free operation is becoming even more difficult as they carry increasingly more functions and features. Ways are needed to more easily carry and interface with the growing number and types of mobile device features and functions.
  • Some electronic mobile devices require at least one hand to cradle and sometimes both hands to hold and operate the wireless device, leaving nothing for other functions requiring a hand and or finger(s). Some devices proudly require a thumb for selecting options and buttons, as that is all that is available for operation on their touch screen display. Some devices have full keypads which require two thumb operation. This leaves both hands fully occupied. As more functions and more mobile devices emerge, the hands are too busy, response is sacrificed, operator errors increase with frustration. What is needed are ways to operate electronic devices without the total hands and thumb involvement, freeing them for other tasks.
  • Some mobile device carriers which can be carried on the wrist. Some in wrist pouches and at least one on a wrist band. Although strategically placed for quick access, these suffer from inconvenient use. The must be removed from the pouch, or they cannot be placed at eyelevel or in the most comfortable position for use. The materials used cause body sweat to limit wearing time.
  • Some electronic device vendors are using voice command interfaces. While this is helpful, most users still do not apply these and some hand operation is still required to either carry or operate, and or the device's voice response functions are lacking. In addition, most devices must still be carried and the usual candidates are belt pouches and pockets. These require taking out for use and putting back into pocket or holder when not in use, another inconvenience when the operators hands are occupied.
  • Some MP3 devices have been increasing in size with the addition of more memory and now video features, but some remain small enough and can be clipped on to arms or various articles of clothing.
  • Some MP3 and video players have maintained or increased the size of devices, and these generally must find another pouch, case, holder or pocket.
  • the pouch or carry case have spawned another industry. This is a wasteful industry because there are no standard size devices, its vender and model unique. What is needed is a pouch or carry case that can fit a variety of devices and models.
  • Mobile phones generally obtain power from batteries which can be recharged from a USB port or from mains power or a cigarette lighter socket in a car using an adapter.
  • Lithium-Ion batteries are sometimes used, as they are lighter and do not have the voltage depression that nickel metal-hydride batteries do.
  • Many mobile phone manufacturers have now switched to using lithium-Polymer batteries as opposed to the older Lithium-Ion, the main advantages of this being even lower weight and the possibility to make the battery a shape other than strict cuboid.
  • Mobile phone manufacturers have been experimenting with alternate power sources, including solar cells. The growing number of smartphone features in many cases demands more power. What is needed are other ways to supply and extend battery power life. What is needed are ways to keep our mobile devices powered up and functioning while they are recharging.
