Abstract
An example of a base apparatus for use by a tablet computer is disclosed. The base apparatus can include a first peripheral device capable of operating according to a first wireless communication protocol; a first demultiplexer coupled to the first peripheral device; and a first wireless communication module coupled to the first demultiplexer. The first demultiplexer is to transmit signals received from the first peripheral device to the tablet computer in a wired way or transmit signals received from the first peripheral device to the first wireless communication module based on whether the tablet computer is connected to or detached from the base apparatus. The first wireless communication module is to transmit wirelessly signals received from the first demultiplexer to the tablet computer.
