Abstract

A portable electronic device is connected to a PC or other electronic device without using a cable or an adapter for a memory card so that data can be exchanged. Furthermore, because it is compact, it is accidentally dropped and lost. Make sure that you can carry a USB memory that you might forget or take with you when you go out.
By providing a connection slot having a connection terminal for connecting to a USB memory in a portable electronic device, data exchange with a PC or other electronic device via the USB memory without using a cable or an adapter This is solved by providing a portable electronic device having a shape in which the USB memory is always connected to the main body of the portable electronic device except when it is connected to a PC or other electronic device.

Description

  The present invention relates to a portable electronic device having a slot into which a USB memory can be inserted.

  In recent years, USB connection terminals have come to be equipped as standard on PCs. This USB is capable of high-speed data transfer, is fully compatible with PnP (Plug & Play), can supply power to connected electronic devices, and can be connected and disconnected while the PC is turned on It has a plug function.

  In addition, instead of conventional external storage media such as CD-Rs and MOs, an increasing number of users intend to store and share data in a PC using a large-capacity USB memory.

  On the other hand, memory functions and display functions of mobile electronic devices, especially mobile phone radios, have been expanded to record not only phone numbers but also addresses, names, ringtones and other data related to those phone numbers in memory. Data can be displayed.

  In addition, current portable electronic devices, particularly cellular phone radios, have digital camera and digital video camera functions, and edit or save image data captured or received by the cellular phone radio. Has come to be required. The editing and storage of image data is very limited due to hardware resources and the like to be performed by a portable electronic device such as a cellular phone radio. For this reason, software that can connect a cellular phone radio to a PC using a cable or the like, read data from the cellular phone radio from the PC, edit it, and record it again in the memory of the cellular phone radio is also sold. Yes.

  Furthermore, as a means for reading the data of the portable electronic device to the PC, a portable electronic device in which a memory card is mounted as a standard on the portable electronic device is also sold, and an adapter for reading the memory card is attached to the PC. Data can be exchanged with a PC.

  As described above, current portable electronic devices have various functions, and there are increasing opportunities to exchange data with PCs or other electronic devices. In order to connect devices, it is necessary to connect to a PC or other electronic device using a cable or a memory card. In particular, a memory card cannot be directly connected to a PC or other electronic device. It must be connected to a PC or other electronic device using an adapter.

  In addition, the current USB memory has a large capacity, is compact, and can be easily connected to a variety of PCs. Therefore, it is increasingly used instead of a conventional external storage medium, and its shape is compact. There are many opportunities to carry around on a daily basis. However, many USB memories currently on sale are equipped with a cap for protecting the connection portion, and the cap may be lost. Also, there are shapes with clips, key holders and shapes for use as straps for mobile phone radios, but they are compact and may be accidentally dropped or lost when going out There is concern about the possibility of forgetting to bring it.

  Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to be able to exchange data between a portable electronic device and a PC or other electronic device without using a cable or an adapter, and to solve the problem that the USB memory is lost or not at hand when necessary. It is an object to provide a shape of a portable electronic device.

  By providing the portable electronic device with a connection slot having a connection terminal for connecting to the USB memory, the USB memory is always connected to the portable electronic device main body except when connected to a PC or other electronic device. A portable electronic device having a shape is provided.

  By providing the portable electronic device with a connection slot having a connection terminal for connecting to the USB memory, the USB memory and the portable electronic device are connected via the connection terminal, and the connected USB memory and the portable electronic device main body Data is exchanged between the internal circuit and internal storage device and the USB memory, and the USB memory is removed from the portable electronic device and connected to a PC or other electronic device to exchange data with a cable, memory card, or memory card This can be done without using the adapter.

  By providing the portable electronic device with a connection slot having a connection terminal for connecting to the USB memory, the USB memory is always connected to the portable electronic device main body except when the USB memory is connected to a PC or other electronic device. Since the USB memory is compact, the possibility of being accidentally dropped and lost or the possibility of forgetting to take it when going out can be reduced.

  Since the present invention relates to the shape of a portable electronic device, an example in which the portable electronic device is a mobile phone radio will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a cellular phone radio according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a bottom view from the Z direction in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view from the Y direction in FIG.

  The cellular phone wireless device 1 embodying the present invention includes a USB memory connection slot 2, a USB connection terminal 3, and a USB memory connection guide 5.

  The USB memory 7 connected to the cellular phone radio 1 in which the present invention is implemented includes a USB connection terminal 4 and a USB memory connection guide 6.

  The USB memory 7 is inserted into the USB memory connection slot 2 via the USB memory connection guide 5 and the USB memory connection guide 6, and the USB connection terminal 3 and the USB connection terminal 4 are connected to the mobile phone radio 1. The USB memory 7 is stored.

  By connecting the USB connection terminal 3 and the USB connection terminal 4, the internal circuit and internal storage device of the portable electronic device and the USB memory 7 are connected, and the USB memory 7 is removed and directly connected to the PC or other electronic device. Thus, the data of the portable electronic device can be exchanged via the USB memory 7.

  Since the USB memory 7 is always connected to the portable electronic device main body except when the USB memory 7 is connected to a PC or other electronic device, the USB memory 7 is inadvertently lost due to its compactness. And the possibility of forgetting to take it when going out can be reduced, and by carrying the portable electronic device, the USB memory 7 can be carried at the same time.

It is the elevation which implemented this device in the cellular phone radio. (A) It is a bottom view from the Z direction in FIG. (B) It is a bottom view of the state which extracted the USB memory from said (a). (C) It is a side view from the Y direction in FIG. (D) It is a side view of the state which extracted the USB memory from said (c).
