  • MULTIPURPOSE PERIPHERAL DEVICE FOR RECEIVING SIGNALS
    Publication number: 20080231495
    Abstract: A multipurpose peripheral device is operated with a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a bus connection port. The multipurpose peripheral device includes a circuit carrier, at least two types of wireless signal-receiving/processing modules and a bus bridge module. The wireless signal-receiving/processing modules are disposed on the circuit carrier for receiving and processing corresponding wireless signals, thereby generating first signals and second signals. The bus bridge module is disposed on the circuit carrier and electrically connected to the wireless signal-receiving/processing modules and can be coupled to the bus connection port. The first signals and the second signals are transmitted from the wireless signal-receiving/processing modules to the portable electronic device through the bus bridge module and the bus connection port.
