Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention provides a multipurpose device for use as a product packaging and storage device. As understood herein, the product packaging and storage device or multi-purpose device may be referred to as a "housing" that encloses or substantially encloses the electronic host product. Such an enclosure eliminates the usual product packaging waste for electronics host products and helps reduce the amount of material sent to landfills or other disposal sites. Also, since the housing can include circuitry such as an integrated electronics package that is typically included in a separate accessory device of an electronic host product, the housing together with the integrated electronics package provides a compact unit that fits within the housing. There is a necessary level of functionality between electronic host products.

[0023] A housing with additional functions here can replace individual devices, each of which may have its own housing. If a separate batter...

Abstract

A multi-purpose product packaging (100, 200) for an electronic host product (250) having its own casing can include an apparatus casing (110, 210) for removably and substantially encasing the electronic host product, circuitry (240) within the apparatus casing for providing at least one function to the electronic host product, and an interface (255) on the apparatus casing for enabling the at least one function to operate in conjunction with the electronic product. The apparatus casing can be made of recyclable products and the interface can form a portion of the circuitry within the apparatus casing. In one embodiment, the electronic host device can be a phone and the circuitry can provide any number of functions including the function of charging a power source within the phone.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] not given. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of product packaging, and more particularly, to product packaging with additional functions. Background technique [0004] Many products are sold using similar packaging and advertising structures. In a typical configuration, the actual product to be sold is enclosed in a paper or plastic package on which a picture of the product and a brand logo are displayed. In packaging, a product, especially an electronic device, can be divided into product sections, where each section is individually enclosed in additional packaging material. These individual product parts typically require some assembly to produce a fully functional and operational product. Once these individual product parts are removed from packaging and assembled, items such as cardboard boxes, foam insulation, polystyrene foam, bubble-wrap, shrink-wrap, The entire product pack...
