Embodiment Construction

[0031] An exemplary combined power and data jack is described below, which provides, for example, a combined power and data connection in a mobile phone or other personal electronic device. As discussed above, multiple connections affect the size and cost of the personal electronic device. The combined power and data jack of the present invention reduces the size and cost of the electronic device by reducing the number of connector jacks in the electronic device. Also, when the shared function jack is a standardized jack, such as an industry standard audio or barrel jack, the electronic device will be compatible with a wide range of standard peripheral devices.

[0032] Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional mobile phone 10 showing a conventional headset 50 and charger 70 . Headphones 50 include a speaker 52 and a microphone 54 . The cord of the headset 50 terminates in an audio plug 60 which plugs into a corresponding audio jack 12 of the mobile phone ...

Abstract

A personal electronic device includes a multi-function jack that has at least one contact configured for both power and data connections. In an exemplary embodiment, the jack is based on an industry standard audio or barrel jack for compatibility with standard audio or barrel plugs. The shared power and data contact eliminates the need for personal electronic devices, such as mobile telephones, to have separate connectors and / or custom connectors for different types of peripheral devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connectors for personal electronic devices, and more particularly to multifunctional connectors that combine power and data connections in a single connector. Background technique [0002] The popularity of personal electronic devices (eg, mobile phones, portable digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 players, etc.) is due in part to their small size and portability. Despite the dramatic reduction in the size of electronic devices over the past decade, consumers continue to demand ever smaller electronic devices. To meet this demand, manufacturers spend considerable resources each year exploring ways to reduce the size of their electronic devices. [0003] Connectors contribute significantly to the overall size of a personal electronic device. Accordingly, size reduction efforts often focus on reducing the size and / or number of connectors. For example, "system" connectors can be used to reduce the size of personal electronic...
