Description

USB memory and card reader for smart device {Combination USB memory and card reader for smart device}

The present invention relates to a USB memory dual-use card reader, and more particularly to a smart device USB memory dual-use card reader that can be used in smart devices, providing convenience.

In general, data transmission between a smart device such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, and a computer is largely divided into a cable connection method and a cloud method. Here, the cable connection method can download data directly to a smart device using a cable, but it is time- and physically inconvenient because the cable must be carried at all times and the contents of the data can be made only after the download is completed. . In addition, the cloud method has the disadvantage of creating an account, installing an application, and repeatedly uploading and downloading data, and it is almost impossible to recover the data in the event of an account server. Cause inconvenience.

On the other hand, USB memory is widely used as a storage device for downloading and uploading data to a computer. Due to the expansion of the use of memory cards, a USB memory having a card reader is also developed and used. As a conventional USB memory card for both card readers, Korean Utility Model Model No. 20-2009-0006922, "Multi-type USB memory with integrated removable storage device and flash memory card reader function," has been proposed, which has a removable storage device function. It is a product that integrates the flash memory card reader function by configuring the flash memory card socket externally in the existing product, and the ground terminal which protrudes to the outside as a removable storage device that integrates two functions into one product through one USB interface. It is configured to be connected.

However, such a conventional USB memory card with a card reader has a problem that can not be used in smart devices because it is limited to a computer, in particular, in order to exchange data between the USB memory and the smart device in the state of connecting the USB memory to the computer separately By connecting the computer and the smart device using the cable of the computer has a problem that causes the inconvenience of connecting the USB memory and the smart device via the computer.

In addition, such a conventional USB memory card with a card reader, if a problem such as a defect or damage occurs in the memory portion that serves as a data storage is difficult to use, by discarding the whole, causing a user's economic burden due to the repurchase, USB It is manufactured by assembling peripheral components including a memory and a card reader, and there is a problem in that an assembly structure necessary for improving the reliability and assembly performance of these components is not presented and thus does not help to improve the manufacturing process.
