  • Modular electronic apparatus with battery charging control
    Patent number: 5926006
    Abstract: A modular electronic apparatus, in particular a mobile client system, in which a fully functional handheld computing system can be selectively integrated with a fully functional handheld communications system. Each system is provided with battery supported power supply, to enable the separate functionality of each system, and a particular cooperation between the power supplies of the two systems, when integrated, is achieved. Optimization of the battery supported power supplies for two systems (here, the computer and communications systems) is thus achieved, while accommodating the integrated use of the systems.
