일반적으로, PDA(Personal digital assistants)와 같은 소형 전자제품은 휴대가 간편하고, 컴퓨터 기능 및 무선핸드폰, 팩시밀리 기능, 무선인터넷을 통한 GPS 기능 등 다양한 기능을 활용할 수 있도록 최근 활발히 개발되고 있다.In general, small electronic products such as PDAs (Personal digital assistants) have been actively developed in recent years to be easy to carry and to use various functions such as computer functions, wireless cell phones, facsimile functions, and GPS functions through the wireless Internet.

특히, 상기 PDA의 경우는, 집이나 사무실에 있는 컴퓨터로 작성한 문서파일을 저장하면, 이동하면서도 계속 작업이 가능하고, 전자수첩과 마찬가지로 개인 정보관리나 일정관리가 가능하다. 이러한 PDA는 초기에는 계산이나 일정관리 등 제한된 용도로만 사용되다가 정보통신 기술의 발달로 '포스트 PC'의 대표적인 정보통신수단이 되고 있다. 또한, PDA는 손으로 쓴 정보를 직접 입력할 수도 있고, 컴퓨터를 통한 정보교류는 물론, 온라인 주식거래나 전자상거래 등 무선인터넷의 모든 기능을 활용할 수 있다. 또, 이동전화와 결합해 각종 교통정보를 알 수 있으며, 팩시밀리 기능도 수행하는 등 다양한 기능을 가지고 있다.In particular, in the case of the PDA, if the document file created by the computer at home or office is stored, it is possible to continue working while moving, and personal information management and schedule management can be performed like the electronic notebook. These PDAs are initially used only for limited purposes such as calculation and schedule management, but are becoming a representative information communication means of 'Post PC' due to the development of information and communication technology. In addition, a PDA can directly input handwritten information, and can use all the functions of the wireless Internet such as online stock trading or electronic commerce as well as information exchange through a computer. In addition, it can be combined with a mobile phone to know various traffic information, and has a variety of functions such as facsimile function.

따라서, 상기 PDA는 상기 여러 종류의 기능을 가지는 옵션기기와 연결하기 위해서, 예컨대 USB 타입 포트를 가진다. 이 USB 타입 포트에 소정 기능을 가지는 옵션기기를 연결하여 사용하다가, 다른 기능을 사용하고자 할 경우에는 먼저 연결되어 있던 옵션기기를 분리한 후, 다른 기능을 가지는 옵션기기를 USB 타입 포트에 연결하게 사용할 수 있다.Thus, the PDA has, for example, a USB type port for connecting with the optional device having the above various kinds of functions. If you want to use other function by connecting the optional device with the specified function to this USB type port, remove the connected optional device first and then connect the optional device with the other function to the USB type port. Can be.

그런데, 실질적으로 옵션기기의 수는 계속해서 늘어나는 추세이고, 이러한 옵션기기를 사용하기 위해서는 일일이 옵션기기를 전자제품 세트에서 분리시킨 후 연결해야 하는 문제점이 있다.However, in practice, the number of optional devices continues to increase, and in order to use such optional devices, there is a problem in that the optional devices must be disconnected from the electronic product set and then connected.

또한, 소비자가 서로 다른 기능을 가지는 여러 가지 옵션기기들을 하나씩 사는데 드는 비용도 많아지는 부담이 있다.In addition, the cost of the consumer to buy a variety of optional devices with different functions one by one is burdened.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창안된 것으로, 복수의 기능을 가지고 이를 선택적으로 채택하여 사용할 수 있는 전자제품용 옵션기기를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an optional device for an electronic product which has a plurality of functions and which can be selectively adopted and used.

도 1은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 전자제품용 옵션기기를 설명하기 위한 개략적인 구성도.1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an optional device for an electronic product according to an embodiment of the present invention.
