Abstract
A universal battery charger and data transfer system includes a data transfer module and a power supply module. The data transfer module has a data protocol detection circuit that detects the data transfer protocol of the wireless communication device. The data transfer module also has a programmable data transfer circuit that transfer data according to the data transfer protocol.
Claims20
A universal data transfer and battery charger system, comprising:
- a data transfer module that detects a data transfer protocol of a wireless communication device and transfers data according to the data transfer protocol of the wireless communication device;
- and
- a power supply module that detects a power input requirement of the wireless communication device and supplies power to the wireless communication device according to the power input requirement.
A universal data transfer and battery charger system, comprising:
- a variable power system module operable to charge a first wireless communication device having a first charging requirement, a second wireless communication device having a second charging requirement, and a third wireless communication device having a third charging requirement;
- a programmable data transfer module operable to transfer data between a PC and the first wireless communication device having a first data transfer protocol, the second wireless communication device having a second data transfer protocol, and the third wireless communication device having a third data transfer protocol;
- a first connector cord connecting the PC to the first wireless communication device, the first connector cord having a first imbedded logic circuit identifying the power and data transfer requirements of the first wireless communication device;
- a second connector cord connecting the PC to the second wireless communication device, the second connector cord having a second imbedded logic circuit identifying the power and data transfer requirements of the second wireless communication device;
- and
- a third connector cord connecting the PC to the third wireless communication device, the third connector cord having a third imbedded logic circuit identifying the power and data transfer requirements of the third wireless communication device.
A method of recharging and backing up data of more than one wireless communication device type, the method comprising:
- identifying a charging requirement and data transfer protocol of the wireless communication device type;
- recharging a wireless communication device according to the charging requirement of the wireless communication device type;
- transferring data from the wireless communication device according to the data transfer protocol of the wireless communication device type.
A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for processing by a computer to instruct an electronic device to recharge a wireless communication device and to transfer data from the wireless communication device, the computer program comprising:
- a first code segment to detect a power input requirement of the wireless communication device upon connection of the wireless communication device to the electronic device;
- a second code segment to configure a power output of the electronic device according to the detected power input requirement;
- a third code segment to detect a data transfer protocol of the wireless communication device upon connection of the wireless communication device to the electronic device;
- a fourth code segment to determine if the electronic device is connected to an external computer;
- and
- a fifth code segment to transfer data from the wireless communication device to a memory of the electronic device according to the detected data transfer protocol if the electronic device is not connected to the external computer or to transfer data from the wireless communication device to storage of the external computer according to the detected data transfer protocol if the electronic device is connected to the external computer.
