Updating mobile devices with additional elements
First Claim
1. A cover for a mobile device, comprising:
- side surfaces configured to be adjacent at least a portion one or more side surfaces of the mobile device;
a rear surface configured to be adjacent at least a portion of a rear surface of the mobile device and connected to the side surfaces, the side surfaces and the rear surface form an opening that receives at least a portion of the mobile device, a first portion of at least one of the surfaces includes a connector for connecting to a port of the mobile devices;
the connector includes a first interface configured to connect to the port of the mobile device and second interface configured to substantially duplicate a port to the mobile device;
a physical interface included in at least one of the surfaces and configured to connect to a transaction device, wherein the mobile device is insertable into the cover;
a circuit configured to connect the physical interface to the connector; and
the transaction device configured to wireless communicate with access terminals.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for updating mobile devices with additional elements. In some implementations, a cover for a mobile device includes side surfaces, a rear surface, a physical interface, and a circuit. The side surfaces and the rear surface are configured to be adjacent at least a portion one or more side surfaces of the mobile phone. The side surfaces and the rear surface form an opening that receives at least a portion of the mobile device. A first portion of at least one of the surfaces includes a connector for connecting to a port of the mobile phone. The physical interface includes in at least one of the surfaces that receives a memory device external to the mobile device. The circuit connects the physical interface to the connector.
