Abstract

A smart ultra box adapting to a protective case is disclosed. The protective case protects a mobile communication device. The ultra box comprises a main body, a conversion unit and an expansion module. The main body has an output interface and an external power interface. The conversion unit disposes at the main body, to electrically connect the output interface and the external power interface. The expansion module electrically connects to the conversion unit. The expansion module is for communication with an external device.

Claims
