Patent ID: 8224383

Claim:
An extensible system for extending resource capabilities of a mobile communication device by pairing the mobile communication device and a mobile extender device, said mobile extender device having peripheral ports that receive standard peripherals, wherein said standard peripherals include a keyboard device, a pointing device, a display device and a networking adapter, the extensible system comprising: a communication component incorporated by the mobile extender device, wherein the communication component uses a wireless access protocol to establish a connection with the mobile communication device; a hardware abstraction component incorporated by the mobile extender device, wherein the hardware abstraction component abstracts basic input and output and local standard peripherals coupled to the mobile extender device, said local standard peripherals including a keyboard device, a pointing device, a display device, a network adapter and a storage device; a first display resolution component incorporated by the mobile extender device; an application specific integrated chip (ASIC) incorporated by the mobile extender device, wherein said ASIC includes an embedded operating system and memory to process signals between the mobile communication device, the hardware abstraction component and the first display resolution component; a second display resolution component incorporated by the mobile communication device, said second display resolution component working cooperatively with the first display resolution component to establish a resolution for the display device attached to the mobile extender device; a configuration component incorporated by the mobile communication device, wherein said configuration component recognizes abstracts of the local peripherals provided by the client abstraction component, wherein said configuration component redirects inputs and outputs between applications residing on the mobile communication device and the abstracted local peripherals; a mobile communication device processor; and a mobile communication device operating system and memory, wherein a user can utilize the standard peripherals including the storage device to manipulate applications on the mobile communication device as if such applications were being manipulated by mobile communication device input devices and wherein such applications utilize the mobile communication device processor and operating system and memory as proves necessary for processing.
