Abstract: Upgradable vehicle electronics system including a base unit being operable in combination with an upgrade module. A power transmitter is provided for delivering power to the upgrade module. A base wireless data transceiver is provided for wireless communication between the base unit and the upgrade module. A module locator is used to locate the upgrade module to align a power receiver on the upgrade module to the power transmitter to receive power therefrom and to align a module wireless data transceiver on the upgrade module with the base wireless data transceiver for wireless communication therebetween.

Abstract: Extendable vehicle electronics system including a base unit having base electronic components for implementing base electronic functions. An extension module includes a module data transceiver and extension electronic components operable in combination with the base electronic components for implementing extended electronic functions. A base data transceiver is used for communications between the base unit and the module data transceiver. A module locator locates the extension module for communication between the base unit and the module data transceiver. The extension electronic components comprise a processor for processing input data to generate output data within the extension module for transmission to the base unit.

Abstract: System for enabling circuit board surface-slot-edge connections. A main board includes a slot through its surfaces. At least one edge of the slot includes electrical contacts to the main board. An auxiliary board includes a connector component mounted on a surface that opposes a surface of the main board. When the connector component is aligned with the slot, the connector component can protrude vertically through the slot, in addition to moving laterally towards an edge of the slot. Electrical contacts on the edge of the slot can engage with electrical contacts in the connector component. This enables two boards to be arranged closely, without extending the main surface in an orthogonal or lateral direction, using a secure connection provided by a connector attached to the auxiliary board, rather than the main board.
