PROTOCOL TRANSLATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A protocol translation device for use with a first apparatus having a battery compartment and communicating over a first wireless protocol, and for use with a second apparatus communicating over a second wireless protocol, the protocol translation device comprising:
- a battery casing sized to fit within the battery compartment, the battery casing defining an interior volume;
a translator comprising;
a first antenna operable to communicate with the first apparatus;
a second antenna operable to communicate with the second apparatus; and
a translator circuit operably connected between the first antenna and the second antenna, the translator circuit being operable to translate between the first wireless protocol and the second wireless protocol, being operable to communicate with the first antenna on the first wireless protocol, and being operable to communicate with the second antenna on the second wireless protocol; and
a battery operably connected to power the translator;
wherein the translator, which comprises the first antenna and the second antenna, and the battery are disposed within the interior volume.
