Abstract

A charging communication-adaptor has such an arrangement that, when a mobile device is attached, communication terminals of the mobile device and the charging communication-adaptor make a contact first, and then the charging terminals of the mobile device and the charging communication-adaptor make a contact.

Claims

1. A charging communication-adaptor for a mobile device, comprising:

first charging terminals;

first communication terminals configured to electrically communicate with the mobile device, wherein the first charging terminals are longer than the first communication terminals, and

when the mobile device is attached to the charging communication-adaptor, the first communication terminals make a contact with second communication terminals of the mobile device after the first charging terminals make a contact with second charging terminals of the mobile device.

2. The charging communication-adaptor according to claim 1, wherein

if ends of the second charging terminals are flat, ends of the first charging terminals are convex,

if ends of the second charging terminals are convex, ends of the first charging terminals are flat,

if ends of the second communication terminals are flat, ends of the first communication terminals are convex,

if ends of the second communication terminals are convex, ends of the first communication terminals are flat.

3. The charging communication-adaptor according to claim 1, wherein the communication terminals are Universal Serial Bus (USB) terminals.
