Abstract
Intelligent connection systems disclosed herein perform autonomous connection mechanisms and provide secure connectors. A mobile device exemplifies one of the embodiments of the autonomous connection mechanism.
Claims16
An intelligent connection system, the system comprising:
- a first component including a first connector;
- a housing;
- a plurality of connector pins supported within the housing;
- and;
- a second component including a second connector;
- wherein said system is configured to:
- broadcast connector identification information via a first component connector;
- receive, capture or sense said identification information via a second component connector;
- perform a connection match, and upon verifying a match between said first connector and said second connector:
- initiate an autonomous connection procedure among said first and said second component connectors;
- and
- establish a physical connection between said two component connectors,
- wherein said connection matching is performed using visual, sensory or look-up of connector identification information locally or on a network;
- and
- wherein said autonomous connection procedure is performed without user's physical intervention.
12 more elements
An intelligent connection system, comprising:
- a first connector,
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of connector pins supported within the housing;
- one or more sensors supported by the housing;
- wherein said first connector is configured to:
- perform a connection match;
- detect an unauthorized connector or a security breach;
- and
- perform a security procedure, based upon a predefined connector security protocol including:
- turning on a repel mechanism toward a second connector;
- changing its pin or connection configuration;
- retracting its connecting pins;
- or
- changing its physical properties or orientation, or a combination thereof,
- thereby prohibiting forming a physical connection to said first connector, wherein said connection match is performed upon one or more of:
- receiving a request to connect or a request;
- sensing a connector attractor force;
- sensing a connector within a pre-determined distance;
- sensing a connector within a pre-determined time-period in the proximity of the first connector;
- or
- sensing a physical attempt to connect a second connector or device or combinations thereof.
19 more elements
An intelligent system, the system comprising:
- a mobile device with optional detachable components, one or more external modules;
- wherein one or more of said mobile device or its detachable components optionally include an external or integrated module;
- wherein upon specific events detected by said mobile device, the device or its detachable components perform an autonomous connection procedure;
- wherein said autonomous connection procedure includes said device or its detachable components automatically connecting to one of said corresponding modules or automatically disconnecting from one of said corresponding modules;
- wherein said autonomous connection procedure is performed without the user's physical intervention;
- and
- wherein said detection includes one or more of command signal, visual, distance or auditory detection or recognition.
