Description

200522625 V. Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] This case is a wireless network storage device, especially integrating Flash Memory and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) functions. Network File System Software (Network Flle System sftft) '' A wireless network without driver installation that allows digital devices such as MP3 players and computer hosts to access flash memory data through a memory card interface and wireless network, respectively Storage device. [Previous Technology] The use of consumer digital devices by modern people is becoming more common. People have a mobile phone, liver 3 players, digital cameras, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) everywhere. These products have almost integrated into people's lives and become indispensable items. The storage devices used by consumer digital devices such as MP3 players and MP3 players are memory cards with Flash Memory as the main storage medium. The interface specifications are various. Commonly, there are cf (c

FlashTM), SD (Secure DigitalTM), MS (Memory

StickTM) ^ MSPROCMemory Stick ProTM) > MMC (MultiMedia CardTM), SM (Smart MediaTM), etc. The memory card has a wide range of interface specifications. Although the manufacturers that make the specifications can benefit from it, the Ministry has also caused consumer problems. In order to allow computer owners to read the memory card data of a specific interface, consumers must use a card reader with the same interface to read it. Although so-called all-in-one card readers have been introduced, it is difficult to guarantee that new interface specifications will appear in the future. Recently, wireless local area networks (WLAN, fireless Local

Network) is becoming more and more popular. The unification of requirements and specifications is the main reason. Computer hosts can easily connect to wireless networks through built-in or external wireless network devices. Therefore, if the technology of W L A N and F 1 as h Me m 〇 r y can be combined so that the data stored in the Flash Memory can be shared via WLAN, it may be possible to solve the above problem of transferring data from various memory cards. However, the conventional Flash Memory plus WLAN composite card (Combo

Card) products, its WLAN function needs to provide drivers for them, and cannot be directly applied to consumer digital devices such as MP3 players, which also indirectly limits the application market of this product. Therefore, in order to apply WLAN MFlash Memory technology to consumer digital devices, it is necessary to improve the conventional technology. [Objective of this case] The purpose of this case is to solve the driver installation problem of Comb Card (Flash Memory plus WLAN) applied to various consumer digital devices. By providing a special mode on the combo card, in this special mode, the user only sees the part of the flash memory, so the user can store the data in the combo card without changing his usage habits. And five people realized it in the C⑽bo Card-file server (FUe σ = LAN provides users with a network drive, so users do n’t need to get out the C⑽bo Card, they can use the Z-Bo computer host. * 于In this case, W'N's dagger II = E sex digital device does not need to be mentioned for it; two programs: added value. Eight cities require, and can also greatly improve the product.
