  • Publication number: 20190034361
    Abstract: The present invention mainly discloses a storage device capable of controlling peripheral devices, which comprises a micro processing unit, a communication unit and a storage unit. Particularly, the storage unit is separated into a plurality of storage blocks and one file table block based on a file system, and parts of the storage blocks storing with device accessing files are further set to be a peripheral device controlling block. After connecting the storage device to a peripheral device and a host electronic device, the host electronic device can control the peripheral device through changing contents of the device accessing files. Thus, for the peripheral device manufactures, it just needs to develop driver software of this storage device and an application program for accessing the device accessing file, but does not need to develop corresponding peripheral device driver softwares compatible with various host operating systems, such as Windows and iOS.
