i _think_ that the patent is about expansion things like an extra keypad, and specificially that they keypad(ot other expansion, like a gamepad? touchpad?) itself has the software needed to interact with the device it's connected to.
or something similar.. would explain the picture a bit? if the expansion is the pad you see at the bottom.
otherwise the patent doesn't make sense(booting from mmc isn't that new)...
