Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is performed by a protective cover for a wireless terminal. The protective cover includes a transceiver circuit, a processor circuit, an electronic ink display element, and an inductive power supply circuit. The inductive power supply circuit inductively charges from a wireless terminal contained in the protective cover, and supplies power to the transceiver circuit, the processor circuit, and the electronic ink display element. The transceiver circuit wirelessly receives data from the wireless terminal. The processor circuit updates the electronic ink display element based on the received data. The receiving and the updating are performed using the power from the inductive power supply circuit.
