Abstract: A docking device operates in an active mode or a passive mode. The docking device includes a path control module, a processing module and a switch. The processing module is connected to the switch, and the switch is connected between the path control module and the processing module. The path control module is configured to receive a signal from a host device. When the path control module does not receive the signal from the host device, the docking device operates in the active mode, and the processing module is connected to a plurality of function modules through the switch. When the path control module receives the signal from the host device, the docking device operates in the passive mode, and the path control module is connected to the function modules through the switch.

Abstract: A separable peripheral device includes a first module and a second module. The first module includes first connection ports and a first processing unit. The first processing unit is connected to the first connection ports. The first processing unit executes a first algorithm and connects to at least two of the first connection ports. The second module includes second connection ports and a second processing unit. One of the second connection ports is connected to one of the first connection ports to receive a current and a data generated from one of the first connection ports. The second processing unit is connected to the second connection ports to receive the data. The second processing unit executes a second algorithm for converting the data. The second processing unit sends the converted data to one of the second connection ports.

Abstract: A hub includes a plurality of connecting modules and a processing unit. Each connecting module includes an input port, a switch unit and a measuring unit. The input port has a power terminal and a data terminal. The power terminal is connected to a power supply unit to receive electric power; the data terminal is connected to a server to transmit data. The switch unit is connected to the power terminal and at least one electronic device for changing a short circuit status or an OFF status between input and output terminals through a control signal. The measuring unit measures the intensity of a current outputted from the power terminal and generates a measure signal corresponding to the current intensity. The processing unit executes an algorithm to calculate the measure signal, generates the control signal corresponding to the measure signal, and transmits the control signal to the switch unit.

Abstract: A portable electronic device stand includes a U-shaped main body having a receiving recess formed on a bottom thereof and defining a front receiving space; and a mating part including a seat portion and a back support, which together giving the mating part a substantially L-shaped configuration. The seat portion is pivotally turnably connected to and located in the front receiving space, and the back support is removably received in the receiving recess on the bottom of the main body. With the mating part pivotally turnably connected to between the U-shaped main body, the portable electronic device stand can be converted from an extended state for use into a folded state having a minimal volume for convenient storage and easy portability.

Abstract: A hub device for overcoming limits to charging and data transmission functions thereof includes a switching unit having a switch and a switching circuit; a first electrical connection port electrically connected to the switching circuit and for an electronic computing device to electrically connect thereto; a plurality of second electrical connection ports electrically connected to the switching circuit and for portable electronic devices to electrically connect thereto to get power supply therefrom; and a power supply connection unit electrically connected to the switching circuit. Through operation of the switch, the switching circuit can switch at least one of the second electrical connection ports from a charging downstream port to a dedicated charging port while all other second electrical connection ports are maintained as charging downstream ports for data transmission or charging function. Thus, the hub device is more convenient and practical for use.
