Patent ID: 11615186

Abstract:
The invention comprises a mobile device with two circuit boards and certain shared resources, in order to provide the security of physically separate devices, yet do so in a single device using shared resources that do not affect security. Specifically, the invention has two boards connected via input/output switch, each having its own System-on-a-Chip (SoC), Memory (RAM), Storage and Radio Module (SIM(s)/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi), and may include one or more SIM cards. Touchscreen, battery, physical buttons and other peripherals are shared between boards. Each shared peripheral hardware module will be used by a single board only (the active in-use board being the “Foreground Board”); another board (the inactive “Background Board”) uses an emulated version of the same hardware module. At any moment, a user can switch between Boards and the Background Board becomes the active Foreground Board and vice versa.
