Abstract
A communication device, such as a smart cell phone is partitioned into two separate bodies or housings. One of these housings, called a sensor body is in a housing designed to be held in a human hand. The other of these housing, has a separate processor body is in a housing designed to be kept in personal possession or attachable to personal clothing. In some modes of use the sensor body and the processor body may be attached to each other via a socket mechanism to function as one device. In some other modes of use they may be separated.
Claims20
A communication device, such as a smart cell phone, comprising:
- a. a sensor body in a housing designed to be held in a human hand, the body has, sensors and interfaces that include at least a display screen, a touch screen, a microphone, speaker and a camera sensor;
- b. a separate processor body in a housing designed to be kept in personal possession and attachable to personal clothing has, processors, memory, operating systems, applications, antenna, hardware for GPS, camera electronics, and a RF module for operation with a wireless network;
- c. the sensor body and the processor body, each equipped with RF wireless electronics, communicate with each other via the RF wireless to perform functions of the cell phone and other incorporated functions therein, thereby the sensor body has a reduced weight and thickness size of the sensor body for holding in the hand.
A method for a communication device, such as a smart cell phone, comprising the steps of:
- a. designing a sensor body in a housing designed to be held in a human hand, the body has, sensors and interfaces that include at least a display screen, a touch screen, a microphone, speaker and a camera sensor;
- b. designing a separate processor body in a housing designed to be kept in personal possession and attachable to personal clothing has, processors, memory, operating systems, applications, antenna, hardware for GPS, camera electronics, and a RF module for operation with a wireless network;
- c. communicating with each other the sensor body and the processor body, each equipped with RF wireless electronics, via the RF wireless performing functions of the cell phone and other incorporated functions therein, thereby reducing the weight and size of the sensor body for holding in the hand.
A communication device, such as a smart cell phone, comprising:
- a. a sensor body in a housing designed to be held in a human hand, the body has, sensors and interfaces that include at least a display screen, a touch screen, a microphone, speaker and a camera sensor;
- b. a separate processor body in a housing designed to be kept in a vehicle has, processors, memory, operating systems, applications, antenna, hardware for GPS, camera electronics, and a RF module for operation with a wireless network;
- c. the sensor body and the processor body, each equipped with RF wireless electronics, communicate with each other via the RF wireless to perform functions of the cell phone and other incorporated functions therein, thereby the sensor body has a reduced weight and thickness size of the sensor body for holding in the hand.
A handheld mobile wireless communication device, comprising:
- a. a handheld body with a length profile, a width profile and a thickness profile has the thickness profile that is variable along the length profile of the handheld body;
- b. the variable thickness profile has a thickness A for a length A′, a thickness B for a length B′ and a thickness C for a length C′, where thickness A and thickness C are greater than thickness B, thereby the handheld body provides a length profile that is convenient for holding in the palm of the hand.
