Abstract
A single electronic device can connect to and communicate with multiple independent load medias. The electronic device comprises a number of internal components, including a processor and a switch module. The processor is capable of switching between a first working mode and a second working mode. The first working mode can establish a one-to-one connection between one load media and one internal component upon a first control signal, and under the second working mode, the processor can generate a second control signal whereby independent connections are established between at least two load medias and at least two of the internal components.
Claims16
An electronic device connected with a plurality of load medias, the electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of internal components corresponding to the plurality of load medias in an one-to-one relationship;
- a processor configured to generate different control signals;
- and
- a switch module connected to the plurality of internal components, the plurality of load medias, and the processor;
- wherein the processor is capable of switching between a first working mode and a second working mode;
- under the first working mode, when a first load media is selected, the processor generates a first control signal, the switch module establishes an electronic connection between the selected load media and one of the plurality of internal components in response to the first control signal;
- under the second working mode, when at least two of the plurality of load medias are selected, the processor generates a second control signal, the switch mode establishes electrical connections between the selected load medias and at least two of the plurality of internal components, thus the electronic device simultaneously connect with at least two of the plurality of internal components, thereby enabling the electronic device to communicate with the selected load medias.
A switch apparatus in an electronic device with a plurality of internal components and a processor;
- the switch apparatus connected between the internal components and a plurality of load medias besides the electronic device;
- the switch apparatus comprising:
- a switch module connected to the internal components, the plurality of load medias, and the processor;
- wherein the processor is capable of switching between a first working mode and a second working mode;
- under the second working mode, when at least two of the plurality of the load medias are selected, the processor generates a second control signal, the switch mode establishes electronically connections between the selected load medias and at least two of the internal components, thus the electronic device simultaneously connect with at least two of the internal, thereby enabling the electronic device to communicate with the selected load medias.
