Abstract
A base module of an electronic device is adapted to provide a basic functionality, wherein the base module comprises a connection device for electrically contacting the base module, and wherein the connection device is adapted to establish an electrical connection between the base module and an extension module for functional extension of the base module, so that the base module may be electrically contacted through the extension module. Furthermore, an extension module and an electronic device with extended functionality are proposed.
Claims15
A base module of an electronic device, wherein the base module is designed to provide a basic functionality, and wherein the base module has a connection device for electrically contacting the base module, wherein the connection device is designed to establish an electrical connection between the base module and an extension module for expanding the functionality of the base module, and wherein the base module can be electrically contacted by means of the extension module.
An extension module for retrofitting an electronic device which comprises a base module with a connection device for making electrical contact with the base module, wherein the extension module comprises a first connection device for connecting the extension module to the connection device of the base module and a second connection device for making electrical contact with the extension module, wherein the first connection device and the second connection device are connected to one another in such a way that, after the extension module has been connected to the base module, the base module can be electrically contacted via the second connection device of the extension module.
An electronic device with extended functionality, comprising:
- a base module for providing basic functionality, wherein the base module comprises a connection device for electrically contacting the base module, and
- an extension module for functionally expanding the base module, wherein the extension module having a first connection device for connecting the extension module to the connection device of the base module and a second connection device for electrically contacting the extension module, and wherein the first connection device and the second connection device are connected to one another in such a way that, after the extension module has been connected to the base module, the base module can be electrically contacted via the second connection device of the extension module.
