Abstract

Abstract A portable power source with miniature visual image display including a housing (14) having positioned therein a power source (12), such as a battery, a miniature visual image display (16), such as a miniature virtual image display, electronics (35) and an electrical interface connection (19), such as a mounting plug, for disconnectable attachment of the portable power source (12) to a portable electronic device (10), such as a portable communications transceiver. The miniature visual image display (16) being retractably mounted within the housing (14) of the portable power source (12). The miniature visual image display (16) capable of positioning by the user so as to align the viewing aperture (26) of the display (16) to the line of sight of the user.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 81 words
A portable power source characterized by: a housing (14), including a power source (12) positioned within the housing (14) and a miniature visual image display (16), mounted within the housing (14); and an electrical interface connection (19) positioned on the housing (14) in electrical communication with the power source (12) and the miniature visual image display (16), the electrical interface connection (19) thereby providing for physical and electrical connection of a portable electronic device (10) to the portable power source (12).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 28 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the miniature visual image display (16) is retractably and rotatably mounted within the housing (14).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the miniature visual image display (16) is slideably mounted within the housing (14).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the miniature visual image display (16) is a miniature virtual image display.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the miniature visual image display (16) is a direct view display.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 39 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the electrical interface connection (19) used to physically and electrically attach the portable power source (12) to the portable electronic device (10) is a disconnectable structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 6 further characterized in that the electrical interface connection (19) is a mounting plug.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the portable electronic device (10) includes a portable communications transceiver, a smart card reader, and a data bank.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
A portable power source as claimed in claim 8 further characterized in that the portable communications transceiver (10) includes a cellular telephone, a two-way radio, and a pager.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 104 words
A portable power source characterized by: a housing (14), including an operable portion; a power source (12) positioned within the housing (14); and a miniature virtual image display (16) having a viewing aperture (26) positioned within the housing (14) in alignment with the operable portion, the miniature virtual image display (16) being operably attached to a portable electronic device (10) through a means for electrical interface (19) and including an image generation apparatus (22) for providing a two-dimensional complete image and a fixed optical system (24) for producing, from the two-dimensional complete image, a virtual image viewable and perceivable through the viewing aperture (26).
