Prior art

Due to the continuous development of computer technology, the development of peripheral devices, the increase of LAN, the application of computers is generally accepted through word. This development has also resulted in complex problems in the connection of portable computers, desktop computers and computer servers with various computer peripherals.

Commonly known peripherals, such as printers, scanners, video monitors, external disk drivers, keyboards, computer mice, modems, card readers, digital cameras, external boxes, net wireless transmitters, and HUBs, are all capable of proper operation. It is required to be connected to the server via wires or auxiliary line devices so that the computer industry connects such devices to a computer server or related operating system in a reasonable way while power is required by the device according to the transmission of the signal. That's why we do the hard work of investigating the method.

Therefore, the computer industry has developed so-called USB, IEEE 1394, and PS2 interfaces that can solve the problems found in connecting computer peripherals and serve as connecting members between computer servers and peripherals. Benefits provided by USB, IEEE 1394, and PS2 interfaces include that multiple computers or multiple peripherals are collected by the HUB or port before being connected to the computer server to solve power problems found in connecting the computer and peripherals. .
