Abstract

A extension case adaptable onto a mobile terminal device to enable extended functions, includes a sheath, an electrical connector, a battery, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. The sheath is configured to shieldingly receive the mobile terminal device and comprises a covering portion and a buckling portion curvedly extended from an outer edge of the covering portion. The electrical connector is arranged on the buckling portion of the sheath for establishing electrical connection with the mobile terminal device. The battery is disposed on the covering portion and is accessible to the mobile terminal device through the electrical connector. The RFID antenna is electrically connected to the electrical connector and embeddedly disposed in the covering portion adjacent to the battery in a non-overlapping manner.

Claims

1. An extension case for adapting on a mobile terminal device, the extension case comprising:

a sheath shieldingly adaptable onto the mobile terminal device having a covering portion and a buckling portion curvedly extended from an outer edge of the covering portion;

an electrical connector arranged on the buckling portion of the sheath for establishing electrical connection with the mobile terminal device;

a battery accessibly in the covering portion and electrically connectable with the mobile terminal device through the electrical connector; and

a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna electrically connected to the electrical connector and embeddedly arranged in the covering portion adjacent to the battery in a non-overlapping manner.

2. The extension case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrical connector and the RFID antenna are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the battery, and the RFID antenna and the battery are spaced apart.

3. The extension case as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a circuit board having a filtering module, wherein the battery and the RFID antenna are electrically connected to the electrical connector via the filtering module of the circuit board.

4. The extension case as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a power assembly set in the buckling portion and electrically connected to the circuit board, wherein the power assembly has a power switch for providing power supply management.

5. The extension case as claimed in claim 4, wherein the power assembly has an electric quantity display used for showing the electric quantity of the battery and a charging port used for charging the battery.

6. The extension case as claimed in claim 4, wherein the circuit board has a display module enabling the mobile terminal device to show information about the RFID antenna.

7. The extension case as claimed in claim 1, wherein a battery vessel and an antenna trough are separately formed on the sheath, the battery is disposed in the battery vessel, and the RFID antenna is disposed in the antenna trough.

8. The extension case as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a lid engaged to the sheath, wherein the lid is covered and positioned the battery and the RFID antenna.

9. The extension case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID antenna is formed on the covering portion of the sheath.

10. A mobile terminal assembly, comprising:

a mobile terminal device, having a power connecting port disposed on the edge thereof;

a sheath shieldingly adaptable onto the mobile terminal device having a covering portion and a buckling portion curvedly extended from an outer edge of the covering portion;

an electrical connector arranged on the buckling portion of the sheath for establishing electrical connection with the mobile terminal device;

a battery accessibly in the covering portion and electrically connectable with mobile terminal device through the electrical connector; and

a near field communication (NFC) antenna electrically connected to the electrical connector and embeddedly disposed in the covering portion adjacent to the battery in a non-overlapping manner.
