Abstract: A converter and method for converting wirelessly streamed data to USB compatible data is provided. The converter includes a USB connector for interfacing with a first electronic device that is USB ready to provide USB compatible data, such as file and directory data structure. The converter also includes a wireless communication link that is adapted to receive wirelessly streamed data from a second electronic device. The converter further includes control circuitry for processing the wirelessly streamed data and converting the streamed data to USB compatible data that is compatible with the USB ready first electronic device such that the streamed data from the second electronic device may be used by the first electronic device.

Abstract: A combined audio and power connector facilitates the use of portable audio devices with audio systems, including but not limited to vehicle audio systems. By integrating an audio input and a power supply into a single connector, the need to use multiple cords, e.g., one for the power supply and another for the audio input, is avoided. Further, a vehicle can deliver power to many types of portable devices without the use of relatively large auxiliary power jacks. As a result, many or most of the auxiliary power jacks currently incorporated in vehicle designs can be eliminated, making additional space available for other applications.
