Embodiment
Referring now to accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are described.Fig. 1 illustrates digital data recording system according to an embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 1, digital camera 3 is taken the image as photo, and with the data recording of captured image in storage card 5, storage card 5 is a kind of small recording mediums.Storage card 5 can be inserted into digital camera 3 neutralizations and remove from digital camera 3.Storage card 5 is flash memories of a kind of type of card, (for example, 128M byte) view data of storing predetermined quantum byte.The view data of record can utilize memory card reader 1 to read in the storage card 5.In practice, storage card 5 is such storage cards, and it is by name for example: memory stick, SmartMedia, SD storage card, xD Picture Card (trade mark) or CompactFlash (registered trademark) are (CF).
The general file system of representing various based on PC of term " FAT " or " FAT system ".It does not refer in particular to the specific file system based on FAT that is used for using with DOS (disc operating system (DOS)), be used for Windows (registered trademark) 95/98 use VFAT (virtual FAT), be used for the FAT32 or the NTFS (NT file system or New Technology File System) that use with Windows (registered trademark) 98/ME/2000
The data that are recorded on the dish are not limited to music or other voice datas.Portable terminal 2 can also record view data, text data and other computer datas on the dish.Therefore, portable terminal 2 can be with Imagery Data Recording on dish, and wherein view data is the data that write down on storage card 5 that are sent out by memory card reader 1.
Data in the storage card of memory card reader 1 reading and recording in being inserted into memory card reader 1, and the data that read are sent to another device.Memory card reader 1 size is less, and in light weight, so the user can carry memory card reader 1 when carrying digital camera 3 and portable terminal 2.Memory card reader 1 obtains electric power from battery or AC electric power source and comes work.For example, when the user presses the button 21 under the situation that is inserted into socket 24 at storage card 5, the data of memory card reader 1 reading and recording in storage card 5, these data are divided into predefined data block, then these data blocks are sent to portable terminal 2, wherein portable terminal 2 is connected by USB cable 6.The user can copy on the dish in the portable terminal 2 obtained and be recorded in view data in the storage card 5 by digital camera 3 then.
Unsuccessful copy process may since for example free disk space deficiency in the portable terminal 2, correctly do not connect the remaining battery power deficiency of USB cable 6 or memory card reader 1.When for example copy process is failed, depend on the reason of copy process failure, red-light LED can be stablized or flash luminous.
When the user carries memory card reader 1 during travelling waits, usually by battery-operated memory card reader 1.Therefore, when after copy process stops during through predetermined amount of time, memory card reader 1 is turned off (entering sleep pattern as described later) automatically, to reduce power consumption.If wish to check the result of copy process again through user behind the predetermined amount of time after copy process stops, the user can press the button 22.
After button 22 was pressed, the result of the last copy process of carrying out of memory card reader 1 basis drove the LED in the display part 23, to notify the user this result.If for example need under the situation of long period in copies data, the user the seasonal memory card reader 1 of sleep with storage card 5 in the dish of copying data in the portable terminal of storage, then after the user woke up, he can check the result of this copy process.This will prevent the user copy process not when success because carelessness and from storage card 5 obliterated datas.Therefore, this can make the minimise power consumption of memory card reader 1, the life-span of optimization battery, even and allow the user at memory card reader 1 when battery-operated, also can not be subjected to particular constraints ground to use memory card reader 1.
For example, the user carries digital camera 3, portable terminal 2 and memory card reader/write card device 1 at whilst on tour.During travel, the user utilizes digital camera 3 to take still picture or film.The data of captured image store in the storage card 5 then.But, used the light time in the memory capacity (for example, the 128M byte) of storage card 5 owing to storing still picture or film, just no longer can document image.In this case, can not write down new still picture and film, till the view data that in deletion storage card 5, writes down.
Therefore, the user uses memory card reader 1 to read in the storage card 5 view data of record, and the view data that reads is copied on the dish in the portable terminal 2.If for example in portable terminal 2, use MD1 dish of future generation, then can store the data of the about 300M byte of as many as.If in portable terminal 2, use MD2 dish of future generation, then can store the data of as many as 1G byte.Even dish is used for recording musical or other voice datas, this dish also still can be stored other data.When the user with storage card 5 in the view data of record copy on the dish in the portable terminal 2, when wiping the view data of record in the storage card 5 then, the user can continue shooting still picture and film under the situation of the view data of not losing precedence record.
After the travelling return home, the user can operate personal computer 4 and appreciate to show or to be printed on still picture or the film taken during travel.Like this, can use medium the dish in storage card 5 and portable terminal 2 effectively.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram that illustrates the typical internal configuration of the memory card reader 1 shown in Fig. 1.51 pairs of input signals of microcomputer shown in Fig. 2 (data) are operated and are carried out calculating, then output signal (data) various piece of coming control store card reader 1.Storer 52 storages for example will be carried out the essential data of various processing as required by the program of microcomputer 51 execution with by microcomputer 51.Storer 52 also is used for these data of adhoc buffer before the data that read from storage card 5 are written on the dish of portable terminal 2.
Preserving part 53 storages for example indicates copy process whether to be stored the card reader 1 normal state of carrying out.Preserve part 53 and comprise EEPROM (EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memo)) or other nonvolatile memories, even and when not having electric power to be provided for memory card reader 1, also keep aforesaid state.Preserving part 53 can be built in the microcomputer 51.
54 pairs of power circuits 55 of electric power control section are controlled the electric power supply of regulating memory card reader 1.According to the control operation that electric power control section 54 is carried out, power circuit 55 will offer whole memory card reader 1 from the electric power of battery 56 or 57 outputs of AC adapter.Here hypothesis provides the electric power from battery or the output of AC adapter.Perhaps also can adopt extra function, be used for directly receiving AC electric power and be to be used for the electric power that uses at memory card reader 1 the AC power conversions that receives.
When power circuit 55 provided electric power from battery 56, electric power control section 54 switched between normal mode and sleep pattern.Normal mode is to allow memory card reader 1 to carry out the electric source modes of normal process (for example, copy process).Sleep pattern is the electric source modes of the power consumption of control memory card reader 1 when memory card reader 1 is in standby (not carrying out any particular procedure).Even in that for example memory card reader 1 is when battery-operated during travel, memory card reader 1 is at it and also therefore remains in the sleep pattern when standby.Therefore, even the user also can continue to use memory card reader 1 during long-distance travel.
Electric power control section 54 also receives the operation signal input from operation control section 83.If receive the operation signal input from operation control section 83 when electric power supply is minimized by power circuit or stops, then electric power control section 54 indication power circuits begin to supply electric power.When power circuit 55 stopped electric power supply fully, the operation signal of exporting from operation control section 83 can directly offer power circuit 55.Like this, can reduce the electric power that when memory card reader 1 is in standby, is consumed.
Timer 62 carries out the various time measurements of requirement in memory card reader 1.For example, 62 pairs of predetermined amount of time timing of timer are so that control the electric power that is used for memory card reader 1 during through predetermined amount of time after copy process finishes.
58 pairs of communications with another device (for example, portable terminal 2) that utilizes the USB cable to be connected by USB interface 81 of USB controller are controlled.Media Interface Connector 59 control be inserted into memory card interface 82 in the relevant data I/O of storage card.In fact, according to the type of the storage card that will support, a plurality of memory card interfaces 82 are installed.
Input control section 60 is in response to the signal output from operation control section 83, will order or other data output to bus 71.The operation control section comprises for example aforementioned button 21 and 22.
Display control section 61 generates signal according to the data that provide from bus 71, to drive display part 84.As previously mentioned, display part 84 comprises for example green light LED and red-light LED.
Audio frequency output control part 63 offers audio output part with sound signal and divides 85, so that audio output part is divided output signal sound, message or other audio frequency.When for example stronger external light incides on the display part 84, may be difficult to from the display part that 84 indications that provide identify state.Audio frequency output control part 63 and audio output part divide 85 to be mounted, even so that also can correctly notify the state of user storage card reader 1 in said circumstances.Audio frequency output control part 63 can become state exchange audio message and export this audio message.When copy process fair termination for example, audio frequency output control part 63 can output audio message " copy process fair termination ".Like this, can strengthen user friendly.
Fig. 3 illustrates the exemplary functions configuration of the software of being carried out by microcomputer 51.Operation control importation 101 receives from user's operation via input control section 60 and controls input, and controls various piece according to received operation control input.When copy process was specified in received operation control input, promptly when the user pressed the button 21, the execution of 102 pairs of copy process of copy operating part was controlled.When appointment inspection processing is imported in received operation control, promptly when the user presses the button 22, check that the execution of 103 pairs of inspection processing of operating part are controlled.
Mode switch part 104 is switched between normal mode and sleep pattern as previously mentioned.
Next, the processing of carrying out with reference to the flow chart description memory card reader 1 of figure 4.Suppose that memory card reader 1 is driven by battery 56, and memory card reader 1 is connected to portable terminal 2 by USB cable 6, in addition memory card reader 1 according to the USB standard as main equipment work.Suppose that also storage card 5 is inserted in the memory card reader 1, and MD2 of future generation (MD1 perhaps of future generation) dish is inserted in the portable terminal 2.
In step S1, operation control importation 101 judges whether to receive operation control input from the user, and keep standby up to its judge receive operation control input till.
When user's operating operation control section 83, input control section 60 is in response to the signal output from operation control section 83, output command or other data.When from input control section 60 acquisition data, operation control importation 101 judges that receiving operation from the user controls input.Even when electric source modes is sleep pattern, also provide input control section 60 continuously in response to exporting and output command or the desired electric power of other data from the signal of operation control section 83.When power circuit 55 stops electric power supply fully for making minimise power consumption, power circuit 55 can be according to the operation signal from operation control section 83, begin to provide input control section 60 in response to exporting and output command or the desired electric power of other data from the signal of operation control section 83, the input control section 60 that receives electric power supply then can receive from the signal of the operation control section of being operated by the user 83 to be exported, and judges that having received operation control from the user imports.
If the judged result that obtains in step S1 indication receives operation control input from the user, then flow process advances to step S2.In step S2, mode switch part 104 selects normal mode as electric source modes.Electric power control section 54 is controlled power circuit 55 then, thereby electric power is offered each part of memory card reader 1 with normal mode.Order or other data according to exporting from the signal of operation control section 83 from 60 outputs of input control section can directly be obtained by electric power control section 54, so that normal mode is chosen as electric source modes.
In step S3, the operation control input that receives from the user is judged in operation control importation 101 in step S1.Pressed by the user if form the button 21 of operation control section 83, then execution in step S3 comes decision operation control input to specify copy process.In this case, flow process advances to step S4.On the other hand, pressed by the user if form the button 22 of operation control section 83, then execution in step S3 comes decision operation control input to specify to check to handle.In this case, flow process advances to step S5.
In step S4, copy operating part 102 is carried out copy process, and this will describe with reference to figure 5 in the back.Then, the data of storage are sent to portable terminal 2 in the storage card 5 in the memory card reader 1, and copy on the dish in the portable terminal 2.LED in the display part 23 is stable or flash luminous according to the result of this copy process.In addition, audio output part divides 85 output sounds to indicate the result of copy process.
In step S5, check operating part 103 execution inspection processing, this will describe with reference to Figure 10 in the back.The result of the last copy process of carrying out of the basis of the LED in the display part 23 stablizes or flashes luminous then.In addition, audio output part divides 85 output sounds to notify the result of this copy process of user.
Among the step S6 behind step S4 or S5, mode switch part 104 judges whether to pass through the schedule time (for example, 10 seconds time period), and keeps standby to judge up to it having passed through the schedule time.Passed through the schedule time when judging in step S6, then flow process advances to step S7.
In step S7, mode switch part 104 selects sleep pattern as electric source modes.Electric power control section 54 is controlled power circuit 55 then, thereby electric power is provided for each part of memory card reader 1 with sleep pattern.
Can reduce the power consumption of memory card reader 1 in the above described manner.In addition, can under worrying the situation of battery life, the unlikely user of making be performed rapidly by the processing of the operation control input appointment that is received from the user.When power circuit 55 provided electric power from the output of AC adapter 57 or other stable electric power source, execution in step S2 and step S7 did not change electric source modes.
Present embodiment hypothesis does not change at electric source modes when stable electric power source provides electric power.But the present invention is not subject to and makes in this way.As an alternative, even when stable electric power source provides electric power, also can change electric source modes and change to reduce the power consumption of memory card reader 1.If the power consumption reduced memory card reader 1 when stable electric power source provides electric power has then reduced energy input.
Be described in detail in the copy process of carrying out among the step S4 shown in Figure 4 referring now to Fig. 5.
In step S21, copy operating part 102 empties the state of preserving in the part 53 of preserving.
In step S22, copy operating part 102 obtains the size of the data that will copy, that is, for example utilize digital camera 3 to take and be recorded in the size of the data of the image in the storage card 5.In this case, with the big or small addition of the individual data that obtained, preserve the total size that is produced.
In step S23, copy operating part 102 inquiry copy purposes are located in remaining free space (being remaining free space on the dish in the portable terminal 2 in this case).In this case, inquiry command is sent to portable terminal 2 via USB cable 6, and portable terminal 2 returns dish to memory card reader 1 and goes up remaining free space.To this processing of being carried out by portable terminal 2 be described with reference to figure 9 after a while.
In step S24, copy operating part 102 gets access in the copy purpose and is located in remaining free space (it returns from portable terminal 2).
In step S25, the free space that total size of data that size of data derived that copy operating part 102 will obtain from step S22 and step S24 obtain compares, and judge whether total size of data is littler than free space, that is, whether enough as remaining free space on the dish in the portable terminal 2 of copy destination.If judge total size of data less than free space, then flow process advances to step S26.
On the other hand, promptly not enough if it is little unlike free space to judge total size of data in step S25 as remaining free space on the dish in the portable terminal 2 of copy destination, then can not copies data.Therefore, flow process advances to step S35.In step S35, copy operating part 102 error process 1, this will describe with reference to figure 6 in the back.In this case, copy process is unsuccessful.
In step S26, copy operating part 102 judges whether the dump power of battery 56 is enough.If it is enough to judge the dump power of battery 56, then flow process advances to step S27.For example, when the dump power of battery 56 was hanged down, power circuit 55 gave a warning via electric power control section 54.When receiving this warning, judge the dump power deficiency of battery 56.If in step S26, judge the dump power deficiency of battery 56, then can not carry out copy.Therefore, flow process advances to step S36.In step S36, copy operating part 102 error process 2, this will describe with reference to figure 7 in the back.In this case, copy process is unsuccessful.
In step S27, copy operating part 102 judges whether the value of the retryCounter that will be described later is bigger than threshold value.If it is big unlike threshold value to judge the value of retryCounter, then flow process advances to step S28.To describe after a while, retryCounter was incremented when each data were retransmitted.If the value of retryCounter greater than threshold value, then may for example cause data being sent to portable terminal 2 owing to correctly not connecting USB cable 6.On the other hand, if the value of in step S27, judging retryCounter greater than threshold value, then can not copies data.Therefore, flow process advances to step S37.In step S37, copy operating part 102 error process 3, this will describe with reference to figure 8 in the back.In this case, copy process is unsuccessful.
In step S28, copy operating part 102 sends to portable terminal 2 via USB cable 6 with data block.Data block reads from storage card 5, and is the part of the data that will be copied.It has pre-sizing.After data were read from storage card 5, these data were that the basis is sent to portable terminal 2 with the individual data piece.More particularly, the data that read from storage card 5 at first are stored in the storer 52, and the size of the data that receive according to portable terminal 2 is read from storer 52 then, and sends to portable terminal 2.In case receive data block, portable terminal 2 just responds back to memory card reader.
In step S29, copy operating part 102 judges whether to receive the response from portable terminal 2.If judge the response that receives from portable terminal 2, then flow process advances to step S30.On the other hand, if judge the response that does not receive from portable terminal 2 in step S29, then portable terminal 2 may not receive the data block that has sent.Therefore, flow process advances to step S34.In step S34, copy operating part 102 increases progressively 1 (number of times that retryCounter designation data piece is retransmitted) with retryCounter.After step S34 finished, flow process turned back to step S26.Subsequently, execution in step S28 retransmits same data block.
In step S30, copy operating part 102 judges whether to exist next data block.Have next data block if judge, then flow process turns back to step S26, repeated execution of steps S26 and step thereafter.
If judge in step S30 and no longer include data block, promptly the data that will be copied all are sent out, and then flow process advances to step S31.In this case, copy process success (fair termination).
Among the step S31 that carries out after step S30, copy operating part 102 utilizes display control section 61 to light green light LED.This notifies the success of user's copy process, and fair termination.
In step S32, copy operating part 102 will " fair termination " state storage be indicated the result of this copy process in the preservation part 53.In step S33, copy operating part 102 sends to portable terminal 2 with data and reports " copy finishes ".
With reference now to Fig. 6, process flow diagram is described in detail in the fault processing of carrying out among the step S35 shown in Figure 51.In step S61, copy operating part 102 utilizes display control section 61 to make red-light LED flash (for example, being interval with 0.5 second) at a slow speed, and output audio message for example " copy destination off-capacity " report unsuccessful copy process.This notifies the user and causes copy process unsuccessful owing to be located in the free space deficiency in the copy purpose.
In step S62, copy operating part 102 will " mistake 1 " state storage be indicated the result of this copy process in the preservation part 53.In current example, the indication of " mistake 1 " state causes copy process unsuccessful owing to be located in the free space deficiency in the copy purpose.

In step S82, copy operating part 102 will " mistake 2 " state storage be indicated the result of this copy process in the preservation part 53.In current example, the indication of " mistake 2 " state is because the remaining battery power deficiency causes copy process unsuccessful.
With reference now to the process flow diagram among Fig. 8, is described in detail in the fault processing of carrying out among the step S37 shown in Figure 53.In step S101, the copy operating part 102 utilize the bright red-light LED of display control section 61 stable point, and output audio message for example " copy function instability " report unsuccessful copy process.This notifies the user because data transmission errors causes copy process unsuccessful.
In step S102, copy operating part 102 will " mistake 3 " state storage be indicated the result of this copy process in the preservation part 53.In current example, the indication of " mistake 3 " state causes copy process unsuccessful (surpassing the retryCounter threshold value) because data can not be sent to portable terminal 2.
As mentioned above, the data of reading from storage card 5 are copied in the dish the portable terminal 2.When copy process success, the green light LED stabilized illumination in the display part 23.When copy process was not successful, the red-light LED in the display part 23 was stable or flash luminous.In addition, also generate audio message or other audio frequency export indicating status.Therefore, the user is informed the result of copy process fast.In addition, if success of copy process, then the state of the LED in the display part 23 is with the former of copy process failure thereby become (LED can stabilized illumination, it is luminous to flash at a slow speed, flash fast luminous).Therefore, the result of copy process accurately can be reported to the user.In addition, preservation part 53 is stored the result of copy process as state.This allows the user to check the result of copy process after a while.
With reference now to the flow chart description of Fig. 9, the exemplary process of carrying out by portable terminal 2.This processing and parallel being performed of the copy process by memory card reader 1 execution of describing with reference to figure 5.
In step S121, portable terminal 2 judges whether to receive the free space inquiry, and keeps standby to receive this inquiry up to judging.Inquire about when the copy purpose is located in remaining free space (being remaining free space on the dish portable terminal 2 in this example) when order in step S23 (shown in Figure 5) is sent to portable terminal 2 from memory card reader 1 by USB cable 6, portable terminal 2 receives this order and judgement receives the free space inquiry.
If judge at step S121 and to receive free space inquiry, then flow process advances to step S122.In step S122, remaining free space on the dish that portable terminal 2 obtains to insert in this locality.In step S123, the free disk space that portable terminal 2 will obtain in step S122 sends to memory card reader 1 by USB cable 6.The free disk space that is sent is obtained by memory card reader 1 in step S24 (shown in Figure 5) then.
In step S124, portable terminal 2 judges whether to receive data block.Step S28 shown in Figure 5 is performed and judges whether to receive the data block of sending from memory card reader 1.If judge in step S124 and receive data block, then flow process advances to step S125.In step S125, portable terminal 2 is write the data block that receives on the local dish that inserts.In step S126, the response that portable terminal 2 sends about the data block that receives to memory card reader 1.Among the step S29 shown in Figure 5, memory card reader 1 receives the response that is sent.
Among the step S127 that carries out behind step S126, portable terminal 2 judges whether to receive " copy finishes ".Do not receive " copy finishes " if judge, then flow process turns back to step S124, repeated execution of steps S124 and subsequent step.
Among the step S33 shown in Figure 5, when memory card reader 1 sends to portable terminal 2 via USB cable 6 with data so that after the report " copy end ", portable terminal 2 receives the data that sent and judges whether to receive " copy finishes ".
Receive " copy finishes " if judge in step S127, then flow process advances to step S128.In step S128, portable terminal 2 upgrades FAT.As previously mentioned, portable terminal 2 uses the file management system of FAT (file allocation table) system as data recording/reproducing.Therefore, after having upgraded FAT, can playback (reading) in step S125, write the data on the dish.
On the other hand, do not receive data block if judge in step S124, then flow process advances to step S129.In step S129, portable terminal 2 judges whether to pass through the schedule time.Do not pass through the schedule time if judge as yet, then flow process is returned step S124.
On the other hand, pass through the schedule time, then handle stopping if in step S129, judge.In this case, do not upgrade FAT.
If even when having passed through the schedule time, also do not receive data block, for example then it is contemplated that: remaining free space is for deficiency the data of sending from memory card reader 1 on the dish in the portable terminal 2; The remaining battery power deficiency of memory card reader 1; Perhaps because the error of transmission that for example incorrect USB cable 6 that connects causes causes not success of copy process.Therefore, portable terminal 2 stops this processing under the situation of not upgrading FAT.Even some data blocks are written on the dish in step S125, owing to do not upgrade FAT, so the data that comprise in the data block that also cannot playback (reading) writes.In other words, when memory card reader 1 was not successfully carried out copy process, the data that part is written in the portable terminal 2 were invalid (being considered as not existing).
As mentioned above, portable terminal 2 is carried out its processing concurrently with the copy process that memory card reader 1 is carried out.Fig. 9 shows the example of the processing of being carried out by portable terminal 2.The processing that portable terminal 2 is carried out is not subject to processing shown in Figure 9.
