Apparatus for cooperating with a mobile device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for cooperating with a mobile device having an embedded transceiver, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
a mechanical connector on the housing, the mechanical connector being configured to mechanically retain the mobile device;
at least one port within the housing for conveying energy to at least one auxiliary wireless transceiver associable with the apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to cooperate with the mobile device when the mobile device is retained on the housing by the mechanical connector, to enable transmission of a first portion of a data stream over the at least one auxiliary transceiver while a second portion of the data stream is simultaneously transmitted over the embedded transceiver.

23. An apparatus for cooperating with a mobile device having an embedded transceiver, the apparatus comprising:
-
a housing; a mechanical connector on the housing, the mechanical connector being configured to mechanically retain the mobile device in a manner enabling a field of view of a camera of the mobile device to be unobstructed by the apparatus; at least one port within the housing for conveying energy to at least one auxiliary wireless transceiver associable with the apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to cooperate with the mobile device when the mobile device is retained on the housing by the mechanical connector, to enable transmission of a first portion of a data stream over the at least one auxiliary transceiver while a second portion of the data stream is simultaneously transmitted over the embedded transceiver; and a handle connected to the housing for enabling the housing to be held by a user in a manner permitting the user to simultaneously stabilize the housing and the camera of the mobile device, while permitting the camera of the mobile device to be aimed by the user.
