ADAPTER WITH TRANSFORMATIVE COMPONENT
First Claim
1. An adapter for removably mounting a consumer electronic device to a host supplying power, the adapter comprising:
- a first service interface coupling and mounting the consumer electronic device to the adapter;
a second service interface removably coupling and mounting the consumer electronic device to the host; and
a power source to provide power communication to the consumer electronic device, the power source including a transformative component;
wherein the adapter supplies a first power communication service between the host and the consumer electronic device when the adapter is coupled to the host and the consumer electronic device is coupled to the adapter, and a second power communication service to, and forms a functional unit with, the consumer electronic device when the adapter and the consumer electronic device are removed from the host; and
wherein the transformative component transforms the power supplied by the host for the first power communication service.
