Abstract

The present invention provides a storage medium adapting interface device, comprising a connecting interface and a wireless module for connecting to an application device and an electronic device having a storage device respectively, and a buffer to temporarily store the data from the connecting interface and the wireless module. If the application device asks for writing data into the memory card, the data will be written into the buffer temporarily, and a file is created and opened in the storage device, so that the data can be written into the file via the wireless module. If the application device asks for reading data from the memory card, the file in the storage device is opened, and then the data is written into the buffer via the wireless module. Finally, the data in the buffer is transferred to the application device via the connecting interface.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A storage medium adapting interface device, comprising:

a connecting interface adapted to connect to an application device and receive a command from the application device;
a wireless module adapted to connect to an electronic device having a storage device in a wireless manner;
a buffer to temporarily store data from the connecting interface and the wireless module;
a protocol command switch used to convert the commands between the connecting interface and the wireless module;
and
a microprocessor to interpret the command sent from the application device via the connecting interface, wherein
when the microprocessor receives a writing command from the application device to write data to a memory card, the data is temporarily written into the buffer for storage, and the protocol command switch converts format of the writing command of the connecting interface into format of the command of the wireless module and creates and opens a file in the storage device of the electronic device, so that the data can be written into the file via the wireless connection;
and when the microprocessor receives a reading command from the application device to read data from the memory card, the protocol command switch converts format of the reading command of the connecting interface into format of the command of the wireless module, and opens the file in the storage device, so that the data can be read from the file and written to the buffer via the wireless connection for being further transferred to the application device via the connecting interface.

A storage medium adapting interface device, comprising:

a first connecting interface adapted to connect to an application device and receive a command from the application device;
a second connecting interface adapted to connect to an electronic device having a storage device;
a buffer to temporarily store the data from the first and the second connecting interfaces;
a protocol command switch to convert commands between the first and the second connecting interfaces;
and
a microprocessor to interpret the command sent from the application device via the first connecting interface, wherein
when the microprocessor receives a writing command from the application device to write data to a memory card, the data is written into the buffer to be temporarily stored, and the protocol command switch converts format of the writing command of the first connecting interface into format of the command of the second connecting interface, and creates and opens a file in the storage device of the electronic device, so that the data can be written into the file via the second connecting interface;
and
when the microprocessor receives a reading command from the application device to read data from a memory card, the protocol command switch converts format of the reading command of the first connecting interface into format of the command of the second connecting interface, and opens a file in the storage device, so that the data can be read from the file and written to the buffer via the second connecting interface for being further transferred to the application device via the first connecting interface.
