Usb multi-functions device and method thereof

Abstract

A USB multi-functions device and a method thereof. The USB multi-functions device is capable of supporting a plurality of functions for a USB host, has a first software module installed to support a first selection of the functions, and comprises a function switch, a memory, and a controller. The function switch receives an input signal unrelated to any previous signal to switch from the first to a second selection of functions. The memory comprises a switch program executable by a controller, the first software module supporting the first selection of the functions and a second software module supporting the second selection of the functions. The controller executes the switch program to determine the second selection of the functions based on the input signal, and installs the second software module.
