A versatile adaptor device to connect together devices having built-in
connectors or receptacles for interfacing with other devices is
described. Many devices include built-in connectors, which usually
consist of proprietary fittings and pinouts/lineouts. The adaptor device
connects with the built-in connectors of two devices to enable
communication between the two devices. Each end of the adaptor fits
physically and electrically with the connectors to join both devices. The
body of the adaptor is a double-ended molded plastic part that includes
geometry to mate with a particular connector slot at one end and another
specific connector slot at the opposing end. The adaptor device may be
adapted to connect various different types of devices. For example, the
adaptor accommodates connection to an array of brands and models of
cellular phone devices at one end of the adaptor and an array of digital
cameras at the other end of the adaptor. The manufacture of the adaptors
is leveraged because the adaptor employs a minimum common denominator set
of circuit lines available to interact with multiple different
connectors.
