Various personal effects can be carried in various ways. Men conventionally carry certain personal effects in their pocket(s), such as wallet, keys and other personal effects. Women, however, do not conventionally carry such things in their pocket and typically will carry a pocketbook. However, both the pocket and the purse are poorly suited for carrying various items that are useful to people in the business world.
Folios and legal pad holders are also known, and look more professional in certain circumstances than other alternatives. However, these folios typically only include a pad of paper and a place to hold a pen.
Embodiments disclosed herein address these issues based on the inventor's need for a modified folio which holds electronic equipment as well as the user's personal belongings. This is done using a stacked mesh pocket system.
An embodiment also describes how the spine of the folio, can house batteries for running and charging the electronic equipment, as well as certain processing capability.
In the Drawings:
Embodiments describe a special portfolio, with an expanded spine area, where the expanded spine includes a stacked mesh system on one side that holds multiple different items in multiple different levels of the portfolio.
The second side 130 is thicker than the first side by virtue of having multiple levels of mesh and/or expandable pockets.
The batteries may also drive an AI electronic circuit shown as 157 which is used as described herein.
The second side 130 includes a number of stacked pockets. Each pocket can be formed of mesh with an elastic edge. The first section 131 is provided for charging cables and and includes an opening 132 to allow the charging cables to extend through the charging cable opening 132 to the internal USB connection 156 to provide power on the charging cable(s). These cables can be stored in the pocket 131 coiled up, so that they can be uncoiled to extend to any of the electronic devices in any of the pouches as referred to herein.
Another lower pouch 135 at the lowest most level of the folio, and is intended to hold, as shown, a tablet size computer 136, inserted from the left to right. Directly on top of that lower pouch 135 is a half-size pouch 147 intended to hold one or more mobile telephones, inserted from the right to the left. Also above the pouch 135 is a zippered compartment with a zipper 145, leading to a compartment 146 intended to hold sundries such as lipstick and other kinds of makeup. There is also a double width key pouch 160, which can hold bulky items such as keys. The top of the folio has a pouch 170 for glasses, with an opening at 171, which allows the glasses to be inserted right to left, and held completely within the pouch to avoid scratching. A soft case can be held within the section 172.
In one embodiment, the spine can be 2 inches in width, thus enabling holding the multiple batteries. There can also be a charging port 180 which can enable applying external power to charge the batteries.
In one embodiment,
In one embodiment, the electronics 150 includes an artificial intelligence agent which allows carrying out simple tasks by phone. In one embodiment, the system is called the Patt, and simple audio tasks can be carried out by saying “hey Patt” followed by certain requests. This can be powered, for example, using Siri™, or Alexa™ artificial intelligence engines. This may require a wifi connection for the engine 150.
The system can automatically determine the level of its batteries, for example, Patt can tell you the time, information from a calendar that may be stored in the electronics, or information on the charge level of the electronics which are stored in the device, assuming those electronics used wireless devices that communicate their information to the electronics.
In one embodiment, the cellular phone pouch includes a Velcro closure 181, which enables changing the size of the cellular phone pouch to different sizes to accommodate different size telephones.
The previous description of the disclosed exemplary embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these exemplary embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
