Abstract: A portable USB device built with rechargeable functional apparatus is disclosed. The portable USB device has a USB connector for being inserted into a socket of a host device. A USB device module is powered by the +5V pin on the USB connector and activated to perform data exchange via the D+ and D? pins on the USB connector when the USB connector is coupled to the host device, so as to provide a first specific function to the host device. A charge circuit charges the rechargeable battery via the +5V pin when the USB connector is coupled to the host device. A functional apparatus is powered by the rechargeable battery so as to provide second specific function different from the first one when the USB connector is not coupled to the host device.

Abstract: A portable storage device having interchangeable connector is disclosed. The portable storage device includes a body inside which a memory is arranged and forming an access opening for selectively and exchangeably connecting a number of external connection members and establishing electrical engagement with the memory inside the body. A control circuit inside the body controls data input/output of the portable storage device. Each of the external connection members has a remote end forming a connector element in accordance with a specific data transfer standard, such as USB, IEEE1394, Serial ATA or RS232, whereby the portable storage device can be selectively connected to electronic devices having connection ports of different specifications with specifically selected connector element. Portability of the storage device between different electronic devices is thus enhanced.

Abstract: A small electronic card with peripheral contacts includes a body, a plurality of front end contacts and a plurality of extended contacts placed along the two side edges. The plurality of extended contacts are used for increasing the data transmission bandwidth, and thus the data transmission speed, and the arrangement of the extended contacts does not affect the design of the reader, while preventing short circuit caused by pins touching incorrect contacts.

Abstract: A simulation SmartMedia/xD-Picture memory card capable of using various kinds of non-volatile memory has at least one non-volatile memory chip for storing data; a card interface and a controller. The card interface is defined with command, data and address signal for enabling an external host computer to access the data in the non-volatile memory chip. The controller is used for interpreting a command sent from the host computer and changing an address sent from the host computer to a valid address for the non-volatile memory chip to go to the non-volatile memory chip to write, read or delete the data.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory based storage system capable of directly overwriting without using redundancy and its writing method are provided. The invention first writes data into a register. Then, a portion of MCF information of the decoded logical writing destination address is taken as a physical writing address and used to determine whether there is data in a block corresponding to the physical writing address. If yes, a new swap block is taken out from a swap table and at least one record of data in the register is written into the swap block.

Abstract: A memory card having a plurality of different interfaces is disclosed. The memory card comprises a function module, a controller coupled to the function module for accessing, a first buffer coupled to the controller for sending a first control signal, and a second buffer coupled to the controller for sending a second control signal. The memory card activates one interface for detecting a first voltage level of the first buffer when the memory card is inserted into a first card reader, and the first buffer is activated to send the first control signal if the detection is positive. Alternatively, the memory card activates the other interface for detecting a second voltage level of the second buffer when the memory card is inserted into a second card reader, and the second buffer is activated to send the second control signal if the detection is positive.

Abstract: A mini-type connector has a substrate, a plurality of metal joints and a metal frame.

Abstract: There is disclosed a global positioning system electronic card capable of dynamically plugging navigation information, which includes a multi-interface controller, a dynamic insertion/removal card interface for being dynamically inserted with a memory card stored with map data, a GPS module, and a host interface. When the memory card is inserted into the dynamic insertion/removal card interface, the dynamic insertion/removal card interface notifies the multi-interface controller for further informing the host device through the host interface to read the map data in the memory card, thereby displaying a corresponding map. After determining the positioning coordinate, the GPS module notifies the multi-interface controller for further informing the host device through the host interface to read the positioning coordinate determined by the GPS module, which is compared with the map data read previously, thereby labeling a coordinate position on the map.
