Access Wiring for Packaged Electronic Components

Abstract

An electronic device may be accessed via a cable while the electronic device is within a manufacture package. The electronic device may be charged, receive updated software, or may receive custom configuration information, via the cable, while the device is within the manufacture package. The cable may be connected to a power source, a software update device, a wireless device, a secondary connector, or the like on one end, and the electronic device on the other end. The cable may be detached from the electronic device and may be removed from the manufacture package without damaging the manufacture package.

         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the manufacture package comprises cardboard. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the manufacture package comprises protective film wrapping. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the electronic device is wrapped in the protective film wrapping. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cable is capable of being removed from the manufacture package while the electronic device is within the manufacture package. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the cable is removable from the manufacture package without damaging the manufacture package. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the cable is removable from the manufacture package without opening the manufacture package. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector comprises one or more pogo connectors. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cable comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the second part is removable from the manufacture package while the first part remains in the manufacture package. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second connector, wherein the second connector is accessible from outside the manufacture package. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the second connector is configured to connect to an external device selected from a group consisting of a charging device, a software update device, a wireless device, and a secondary connector. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the second connector is connected to a wireless device, wherein the wireless device is configured to receive a wireless signal from a wireless source and deliver it to the electronic device via the cable. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising an electronic switch configured to disable one or more electronic device access properties. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the electronic device access properties is selected from a group consisting of a software updates, charging, and wireless connectivity. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device receives user specific customizations via the cable. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cable comprises protective insulation. 
     
     
         19 . A method comprising:
 obtaining an electronic device;   placing the electronic device in a manufacture package;   subsequent to placing the electronic device in a manufacture package, connecting the electronic device to a cable, the cable extending through the manufacture package, and the cable having a first portion coupled between the electronic device and a connection point controller, a second portion coupled to the connection point controller and capable of being connected to a first external device, and a third portion coupled to the connection point controller and capable of being connected to a second external device, the connection point controller to direct signals from at least one of the second portion and the third portion to the electronic device via the first portion; and   sending an electronic signal from a wireless device that is one of the first external device or the second external device and is disposed outside the manufacture package and connected to the electronic device via the cable while the electronic device is within the manufacture package.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising removing the cable from the electronic device without damaging the manufacture package. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the electronic device is a device selected from the group consisting of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and a media player.
