Abstract

A self-powered apparatus able to deliver an output HDMI signal as well as mix a data input source with a self-generated signal and making the result available as an output HDMI signal.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a case, which dimensions are small enough to allow said electronic device to be easily wearable without any additional equipment;

an HDMI output connector;

a computing system, able to be powered through said HDMI output connector when connected, and able to produce a self-generated HDMI signal, and make it available through said HDMI output connector.

2. The electronic device as recited in claim 1, further including an internal battery and a battery system, powering said computing system when needed, and able to charge the battery through said HDMI output connector when connected.

3. The electronic device as recited in claim 1, further including an external power connector, said external power connector being able to be plugged into a compatible power source connector so that said computing system get enough current to be correctly powered.

4. The electronic device as recited in claim 1, said device being configurable so that one can choose what content said computing system can access to generate an HDMI signal.

5. The electronic device as recited in claim 1, further including an external control device, said external control device being able to communicate with said electronic device thanks to a wireless connection.

7. The electronic device as recited in claim 5, further including an internal battery and a battery system, powering said computing system when needed, and able to charge the battery through said HDMI output connector when connected.

8. The electronic device as recited in claim 5, said device being configurable so that one can choose what content said computing system can access to generate an HDMI signal.

9. The electronic device as recited in claim 5, further including an external control device, said external control device being able to communicate with said electronic device thanks to a wireless connection.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

a case;

a data input connector;

an HDMI output connector;

a computing system, able to perform computing operations on an input data signal available through said data input connector, and make the result available through said HDMI output connector.
