Multi-interface memory card and adapter module for the same

An adapter module (60) for a multi-interface memory card (50) having a front end formed thereon with an interface port (51) for providing multiple connection interfaces and a product interface, said adapter module (40) comprising:

• a housing defining a slot (66) for receiving said memory card (50);
• multiple interface connectors (64, 65) held in said housing and adapted for connecting to corresponding interface ports of a computer;
• and
• a terminal seat (63) held in said housing, said terminal seat (63) having a plurality of connection terminals (631), each having one end for facing to said interface port (51) of said memory card (50), and another end connected to said multiple interface connectors (64, 65).

A multi-interface memory card (50) comprising:

• a micro controller (10);
• a memory unit (20) connected to said micro controller (10), such that external computers or electronic products can read data from or write data to said memory unit (20) under control of said micro controller (10);
• a connection interface (30) connected to said memory unit (20) via said micro controller (10) for controlling data access, said connection interface conforming to an IEEE 1394 interface specification;
• and
• a product interface for connecting to a digital product to read or write data.

An adapter module (70) for a multi-interface memory card (50) having a front end formed thereon with an interface port for providing an IEEE 1394 interface and a host interface, said adapter module (70) comprising:

• a housing defining a slot for receiving said memory card (50);
• an IEEE 1394 interface connector (71) held in said housing and adapted for connecting to a corresponding interface port of a computer;
