Interface system for enabling data communication between a multi-communication device and other devices
First Claim
1. A connector interface system for communicating with a multi-communication device, the connector interface system comprising:
- a connector system for receiving a plurality of signals; and
a serial protocol which allows for controls for accessing data within the multi-communication device, wherein the connector system interfaces with the controls to allow for at least one of the following functions of the multi-communication device;
Shuffle setting advance, Begin fast forward, and Begin rewind, andwherein the serial protocol comprises a plurality of lingoes, each lingo comprising a plurality of commands that implement the controls.

Abstract
A connector interface system for a communication device is disclosed. The interface includes a docking connector. The docking connector includes first make/last break contacts that minimize internal damage to the internal electronics. The docking connector also includes specific keying arrangement to prevent noncompliant connectors from being plugged in, and thereby minimizes potential damage to the multi-communication device. The connector interface system also includes a remote connector which provides for the ability to output audio, input audio, provides I/O serial protocol, and to provide an output video. Embodiments of the present invention allow for a standard headphone cable to be plugged in but also for special remote control cables, microphone cables, video cables could be utilized in such a system. The connector interface system also includes a serial protocol to control device features. These controls help a user sort and search for data more efficiently within the device.
