  • Patent number: 9454193
    Abstract: A flash drive that can utilize space behind a mobile device is disclosed. In some embodiments, a body of the flash drive has three portions, a front portion, a back portion, and an intermediate portion that runs from the front portion to the back portion. A mobile device connector extends from a first end of the front portion, and a second connector extends from a second end of the back portion. The intermediate portion is configured to cause, when the mobile device connector is connected to the mobile device, the second connector and part of the back portion of the body to be located behind and, in some embodiments, adjacent to the back of the mobile device. This can enable part of the body to fit in a gap that can form between the back of the mobile device and a user's palm when the user holds the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9223375
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide electrical current to a mobile device using a flash drive is disclosed. The flash drive can be connected to two devices, a source device and a mobile device, and can be used to transfer power from the source device to the mobile device to, for example, charge a battery of the mobile device. The flash drive can also be used to transfer data between the two devices. For example, the flash drive can be connected to the source device, which can copy, e.g., a movie to the flash drive. The mobile device can be connected to the flash drive, and the movie can be copied or streamed to the mobile device. A user can watch the movie using the mobile device while the mobile device is using power from the source device to charge a battery of the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20150135267
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that includes multiple functions integrated utilizing a single control module of a flash drive is disclosed. The integrated functions can be utilized by the flash drive to communicate with computing devices to which the flash drive is connected. The functions integrated using the single control module can include, for example, functionality to handle USB and Peripheral Protocol communications, to manage communications with a flash memory, and to communicate with a Security IC. Using the single control module, which can be implemented on an IC, the flash drive can, for example, communicate via USB with a laptop computer running the Windows OS, and can communicate via the Peripheral Protocol and USB with a smartphone running iOS. Data from the laptop computer, such as a movie, can be copied to the flash drive, and then can be copied or streamed to the smartphone.
