BATTERY PACK WITH SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORY
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a case configured to receive a mobile electronic device, the case comprising;
a top wall;
a bottom wall;
a power output interface coupled to the bottom wall, the power output interface configured to engage a power input interface of the mobile electronic device, wherein the top wall is movable with respect to the power output interface from a first position in which the case is permitted to be removably attached to the mobile electronic device to a second position in which detachment of the case from the mobile electronic device is inhibited by engagement of the power output interface with the power input interface;
a battery, wherein the power output interface is configured to convey electrical power from the battery;
an indicator component configured to indicate an amount of power in the battery; and
a non-transitory computer-readable case memory configured to store data accessible by at least the mobile electronic device via the power output interface; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a file management system configured to run on the mobile electronic device, the file management system configured to at least;
provide, to a media player executing on the mobile electronic device, access to a first media file in the case memory using a server-based communication protocol; and
provide, to the media player, access to a second media file in memory of the mobile electronic device using a local storage access protocol.
