Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a Micro SD card 100 in the related art, and as shown in fig. 1, the Micro SD card may include a plurality of contact pins arranged in a row, and when the Micro SD card is assembled in a Micro SD card socket in an electronic device, each contact pin may contact a contact exposed on a surface of the Micro SD card socket to achieve conduction, so that picture information, video information, text information, and the like in the electronic device may be stored in the Micro SD card. Similarly, the electronic device can also read contents such as picture information, video information and text information from the Micro SD card.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a memory card 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the memory card 200 can be adapted to a Micro SD card socket of an electronic device and can be electrically connected to a contact in the Micro SD card socket, so that the electronic device can store picture information, video information, text information, and the like in the memory card 200 and can also obtain the picture information, the video information, the text information, and the like from the memory card 200. The memory card 200 can be adapted to the card socket of the Micro SD card, that is, the external shape and size of the memory card 200 are the same as those of the Micro SD card, but the contact pins of the memory card 200 are different from those of the Micro SD card. Based on this, for the same Micro SD card socket in the electronic device, it can be used for accommodating both the Micro SD card in the related art and the storage card 200 provided in this disclosure, which is beneficial to improving the compatibility of the Micro SD card socket.

The contact pins of the memory card 200 can be understood as follows, different from the contact pins of the Micro SD card: the number of contact pins of the memory card 200 is different from that of the Micro SD card; the arrangement mode of the contact pins of the memory card 200 is different from that of the contact pins of the Micro SD card; or any one or more of the contact pins of the memory card 200 may have a function different from that of the contact pins of the Micro SD card, which is not limited in this disclosure. For example, the memory Card 200 may communicate based on any one of an interface protocol of a Universal Serial Bus (USB), a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), a Universal Flash Storage (UFS), a Multimedia Memory Card (MMC), and an Embedded Multimedia Memory Card (EMMC).

The present disclosure may be described in detail below with respect to a memory card 200 that communicates based on a universal flash memory storage interface protocol.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, both ends of the second contact portion 2 and the third contact portion 3 protrude from the corresponding both ends of the first contact portion 1, and since the second contact portion 2 and the third contact portion 3 are longer than the first contact portion 1, when the memory card is configured to the Micro SD card socket, the second contact portion 2 and the third contact portion 3 can contact with a plurality of contacts in the Micro SD card socket, thereby increasing the storage speed and capacity of the memory card 200; alternatively, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the length of the third contact portion 3 may be equal to the length of the first contact portion 1, and the second contact portion 2 may be longer than the first contact portion 1 and the third contact portion 3. Of course, in some embodiments, the length of the second contact portion 2 may be equal to the length of the first contact portion 1, and the third contact portion 3 may be longer than the first contact portion 1 and the third contact portion 3.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the second contact portion 2 may include two contact pins, the two contact pins are arranged in a column and are isolated from each other, and when the storage card 200 is configured to the Micro SD card socket, both the two contact pins of the second contact portion 2 may be electrically connected to corresponding contacts.

In the above embodiment, the third contact portion 2 may include a single contact pin, and as shown in fig. 2, both ends of the single contact pin protrude from the corresponding both ends of the first contact portion 1, and the single contact pin may be electrically connected to a plurality of contacts in the Micro SD card socket when the memory card 200 is configured to the Micro SD card socket because the single contact pin is long. The single contact pin may include a VSS pin, and when the single contact pin contacts a plurality of contacts in the Micro SD card socket, it may be understood that one more ground point is added between the storage card 200 and the Micro SD card socket, which is beneficial to improving the backflow capability of the power supply.

Based on the technical solution of the present disclosure, the first contact portion 1 may include a plurality of contact pins, and one or more contact pins included in the first contact portion 1 are disposed between the second contact portion 2 and the third contact portion 3, for example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, one contact pin included in the first contact portion 1 is disposed between the second contact portion 2 and the third contact portion 3. The first contact 1 may include one or more of a data pin, a detection signal pin, and a constant signal pin, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

VCCQ2 is exemplified by being sequentially arranged from the left side to the right side in fig. 3 as Din _ T, Din _ C, C/D, VCC, VCCQ2, REF _ CLK, VSS, Dout _ C, Dout _ T, where VCC and VCCQ2 are the second contacts 2, and both are arranged in the same column.

It should be noted that, only the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3 is taken as an example for description, in the present disclosure, under the condition that the contact pins included in the first contact portion do not affect the function of the memory card, various arrangement combinations may exist, and are not described in detail herein; similarly, the second contact 2 may include two contact pins VCC and VCCQ2, the positions of which on the same column are not limited, for example VCC above VCCQ2 in fig. 2, for example VCCQ2 above VCC in fig. 3. For the memory card 200, the present disclosure does not limit the position of each contact pin on the card body of the memory card, and does not limit the length value and the height value of each contact pin. In the present disclosure, the shape of the contact pin of the memory card 200 is not limited, and may be a regular rectangle or an irregular shape, and the distance value between the edge of each contact pin and each side edge of the memory card is not limited; the specific height and length of the memory card are not limited.

The present disclosure also provides an electronic device 300 as shown in fig. 4, where the electronic device 300 may include a Micro SD card socket 301 and a plurality of contacts (not shown in the drawings), the Micro SD card socket 301 may be plugged with the memory card 200 described in any of the above embodiments, or the Micro SD card socket 301 may also be plugged with the Micro SD card in an empty state, and the plurality of contacts are exposed on a surface of the Micro SD card socket 301 and are used for conducting with the memory card 200 plugged in the Micro SD card socket 301 or conducting with the Micro SD card plugged in the Micro SD card socket 301. The electronic device 300 may also include a plurality of Micro SD card sockets 301, where one of the Micro SD card sockets 301 may be used for plugging a Micro SD card, and one of the Micro SD card sockets 301 may be used for plugging a memory card 200, so as to implement compatibility between two different types of memory cards. The electronic device 300 may include various handheld devices having communication capabilities, in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, home smart devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem.

Since the memory card 200 can be inserted into the same Micro SD card holder 301 of the electronic device 300, and the Micro SD card can also be inserted into the same Micro SD card holder, the present disclosure also provides a method for determining a data storage mode, as shown in fig. 5, where the method for determining a data storage mode is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps:

in step 501, it is determined that a card to be detected is placed in a card socket of a Micro SD card of an electronic device.

In this embodiment, after it is detected that the Micro SD card socket is pushed into the electronic device, it is determined that the card to be detected is placed in the Micro SD card socket; or, it may be determined that the Micro SD card holder is placed in the card to be detected, or it may be determined whether the Micro SD card holder is placed in the card to be detected in another manner, under the condition that it is detected that the Micro SD card holder is pushed into the electronic device and the contacts exposed on the surface of the Micro SD card holder are turned on, and the details are not repeated here.

In step 502, the type of the card to be detected inserted into the Micro SD card socket is identified.

In this embodiment, the data storage mode of the electronic device can be determined by identifying the type of the card to be detected. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

in an embodiment, the storage card 200 may include a detection pin, and the Micro SD card does not include the detection pin, and whether a contact corresponding to the detection pin in the card socket of the Micro SD card is turned on or not may be determined, if the contact corresponding to the detection pin is turned on, the type of the card to be detected may be determined as the storage card, and if the contact corresponding to the detection pin is not turned on, the type of the card to be detected may be determined as the Micro SD card. Wherein whether a contact corresponding to the test pin is turned on may be determined by determining whether a point of the contact is pulled to or low.

For example, the electronic device may determine the type of the card to be detected based on the fact that the contact corresponding to the detection pin is at a low level when it is idle and at a low level when it is in conduction with the non-detection pin, and the potential of the contact is pulled high when it is in conduction with the detection pin. Of course, in other embodiments, the contact of the detection pin may also exhibit a high level when in an idle condition, and the contact also exhibits a high level when being conducted with the non-detection pin, and the potential may be pulled down to a low level when the contact is conducted with the detection pin, which is not limited by the disclosure.

In another embodiment, after determining that a card to be detected is inserted into the card holder of the Micro SD card, the electronic device may start to acquire the identification information of the memory card in any of the above embodiments by default, if the identification information can be acquired, determine the card to be detected as the memory card, otherwise, determine the card to be detected as the Micro SD card; similarly, after determining that the card to be detected is inserted into the card seat of the Micro SD card, the electronic device may default to start to acquire the identification information of the Micro SD card in any of the embodiments, and if the identification information can be acquired, determine the card to be detected as the Micro SD card, otherwise, determine the card to be detected as the memory card. The identification information of the memory card may be information that is different from the memory card by the Micro SD card, and the representation information of the Micro SD card may be information that is different from the memory card by the Micro SD card.

In step 503, determining a data storage mode of the electronic device according to the type of the card to be detected, where the data storage mode includes a first mode and a second mode, where the first mode is determined when the Micro SD card is inserted into the Micro SD card holder, and the second mode is determined when the memory card according to any one of the above embodiments is inserted into the Micro SD card holder.

In this embodiment, the difference between the data storage mode being the first mode and the data storage mode being the second mode is mainly that the two modes adopt different communication interface protocols, the second mode can communicate based on one of the interface protocols of the usb, the high-speed peripheral component interconnect, the universal flash memory, the multimedia memory card, and the embedded multimedia memory card, and the first mode can communicate based on a protocol other than the above-mentioned interface protocol.
