Abstract
An electronic device can connect to and communicate with multiple independent load medias. The electronic device comprises a processor and a first switch module. The processor is capable of switching between a first working mode and a second working mode. 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 the first switch module. The processor processes the signals from the selected load medias simultaneously.

An electronic device capable of connecting with a plurality of load medias, the electronic device comprising:
- a processor for generating different control signals and processing signals;
- an inputting module connected to the processor and configured to select at least one of the load medias;
- a display module connected to the processor;
- a touch screen connected to the display module;
- a USB hub connected to the touch screen, a keyboard, and a mouse;
- a first switch module connected to the processor and the load medias;
- and
- a second switch module connected between the processor and the USB hub;
- wherein a predetermined key of the inputting module is pressed to switch between a first working mode and a second working mode;
- wherein in the first working mode, when a specified load media is selected, the processor generates a first control signal, and the first switch module establishes an electronic connection between the specified load media and the processor, in response to the first control signal generated by the processor;
- wherein in the second working mode, when at least two load medias are selected, the processor generates a second control signal, and the first switch module establishes independent electronic connections between the at least two selected load medias and the processor, the processor simultaneously processes signals outputted from the at least two selected load medias and executes the same process for the at least two selected load medias;
- wherein the second switch module turns on to establish an electrical connection(s) between the selected load media(s) and the USB hub in response to the connecting signal for allowing the keyboard and the mouse to control the selected load media(s).
