Abstract: A dual-interface converter of a miniature memory card has a cartridge compatible with a standard memory card, a memory card interface together with a product interface formed on the cartridge, and a slot defined in the cartridge so that the miniature card is inserted to the cartridge through the slot. In one aspect of using the converter, a card reader is able to read or write data in the miniature memory card through the memory card interface. In another aspect, an electronic device is able to access data of the miniature memory card by connecting the product interface to a corresponding communication port of the electronic device. Further, the converter can serve as a portable storage media by incorporating a memory module.

Abstract: A memory card is integrated with a communication serial interface integrated and a standard card interface of the memory card inside the memory card. The memory card provides two interfaces that share the same electrical contacts without changing the number of the electrical contacts of the conventional specification of the memory card.
