Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention generally relates to a portable flash memory mass storage device and a Bluetooth radio communication, and more specifically to the use of Bluetooth including integration - functionality One of the portable flash memory pens comes with a configuration Bluetooth communication. [Prior Art] 0 Many different types of Bluetooth-enabled peripheral devices are commercially available. It is not always an easy task to communicate with a host device such as a personal computer or a personal digital assistant or the like. If a person's computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capabilities, the new way to add this capability is through the plug-in adapter. These adapters are often referred to as dongle 〇 A Bluetooth partner will only operate after the appropriate flash memory drive is installed. The flash memory flash drive of the counterpart is typically mounted by a _CD ROM with the counterpart or by a suitable flash memory drive from the manufacturer. This is less convenient and often a time invalid program. In addition to inconvenience, time consuming, and often invalid, manual I zone program loading is often not possible. The driver typically has to modify the registry of the host computing device and in an operating system such as Micr〇s〇ft Wind〇wsTM requires administrative privileges to do so. Corporate computers provided to employees rarely provide user management privileges. Thus, in many computers, it is not possible to simply use a standard driver/pairer combination to add Bluetooth communication. 124725.doc 200830183 After that, once the Bluetooth capability program is installed with different categories of blue, and even if the appropriate driver is installed, it is necessary to configure different host application devices to communicate.

In a preferred embodiment, the hub is a USB-type hub and the host interface 13 is a USB interface. The nand flash memory 114 is within the blue chip stack upper layer 118 necessary for the operation of the Bluetooth controller m and the host 15() and the host application 152. The flash memory of the flash memory of Figures 2A and 2B is similar to the flash memory. The difference is that the hub (1) does not exist because the functionality of the hub is integrated into the human memory controller (10). In the fd i〇〇A, the connection between the Bluetooth controller 110 and the hub 1〇6 is preferably a smart connection, and in the FD100B, the connection between the Bluetooth controller 110 and the memory control theft 108 is better. A good general-purpose asynchronous receiver/transmitter ("UART") connection. In the following, the flash memory flash drive ι嶋 and 100B (which is essentially the same) can be referred to as a flash memory flash drive (丨丨FD)) —" - Figure 2B illustrates the host 15G transmission The flash memory flash drive is a system that communicates with peripheral devices 160A through 160x via Bluetooth. Each device of such devices may have a different speech-free I. Each of the different types of profiles requires its own Bluetooth stack execution and is appropriately associated with a different host application (eg, host application 152). . The component layers and individual functionality of the blue bud stack 124725.doc -12-200830183 stack will be described with respect to FIG. Figure 3 illustrates the layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack 300. The application interacting with the stack uses the stacking functionality by calling different API functions. The stack is responsible for all of the complex communication rules defined in the Bluetooth specification incorporated by reference in its entirety and manages communication with the Bluetooth module. • Application layer 302 is primarily about profile configuration and interaction with external software applications. ^ The Telephone Control Specification (,, TCS,,) layer 304 provides call control and signaling for the audio channel. The Wireless Application Protocol ("WAP") layer 3〇6 handles control and signaling for WAp transmissions. The Object Exchange ("OBEX" layer 305 processes the responses from the lower layers below it and distinguishes multiple responses. The RF Communications ("RFCOMM") layer 308 implements the functionality required for a virtual RS232 connection, including modem control. signal. Most application profiles use RFCOMM to transmit and receive data. Service Discovery Protocol ("SDp,,") Layer 3 10 ^ for functionality to release supported Bluetooth functionality ($Dp server); U and other Bluetooth products (SDP client) for Bluetooth functionality. The logical link control and adaptation protocol ("L2CAP,,) layer 3 12 allows multiple communication channels to share a single Bluetooth connection (multiplex). The L2CAP layer 3 12 also handles the segmentation and assembly of long messages. * Host Controller Interface ("HCI") Layer 3 16 provides a standardized communication protocol between the stack and the controller. HCI communication packets can be sent via UART, RS232, USB or PC card interface. The contingency, layer, and interface layer 320 is responsible for the generation, modification, and release of logical links (and associated logical transport, if required) and the updating of parameters associated with the physical connection between the devices 124725.doc -13 - 200830183. The link manager accomplishes this by communicating with the link manager in the remote Bluetooth device using a link management protocol. The baseband/link controller layer 324 is responsible for all access to the radio media and is responsible for the encoding and decoding of the Bluetooth packets from the datagram bearers and the parameters associated with the physical channels, logical transport and logical connections. The radio layer 328 is responsible for transmitting and receiving packets of information on the physical channel. The Bluetooth core layers are provided as part of the Bluetooth controller 11〇. The alpha layer 316, the link manager layer 32, the baseband/link controller layer 324, and the radio layer 328 are part of the core. The upper layer 118 stored in the flash memory cassette 14 includes at least an application layer 3〇2. 8£), a layer 31〇, an rfc〇mm layer, and an L2CAP layer 312 may be part of the core or stored in a flash. Part of the upper layer 118. 4 is a flow chart of a method for configuring a general-purpose or core-only Bluetooth controller in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In step 4〇2, inserting FD 1〇〇 into To the host, the host and the device will detect the connection of the two devices. Next, in step 406, a program for implementing the Bluetooth operation of the FD i 将 will be available. In step 410, if a user If there is a need for BT communication, it executes the BT manager, which causes the top layer 118 of the Bluetooth stack to be loaded from the flash memory 114 to the host. Then, the FD 1〇〇 series is a Bluetooth device. It is also ready to communicate with the peripheral device via the Bluetooth, as seen in step 4 Ϊ 4. The profile that needs to communicate with each type of device is now available through the upper layer 118 of the stack, as seen in step 418. The FD 1 Bluetooth controller 11 establishes a connection between the host 15 (including the application 124725.doc -14-200830183 152) and the peripheral Bluetooth device 16〇, as shown in the step. The upper layer 118 can be Any location stored in the flash memory 114, such as Freely used user area or a hidden system partition. In either case, because the upper layer is stored in the flash memory, it can be easily updated or changed to accommodate different profiles and different In addition, multiple versions of the upper layer 118 (different files) may be stored, and in a particular embodiment a user may select which version should be installed. In some embodiments, different uses of the FD 1G〇 A user may have a different user setting slot stored in the device, and a particular user setting may be associated with a particular version. Thus, a particular user profile may be associated with a different Bluetooth device profile. The Bluetooth Manager will also allow a user to assign or reassign associated software applications in the host to a particular category of Bluetooth devices, and to any Bluetooth that is listed by the host and available for the Bluetooth Manager. Figure 5 is a flow chart of an automatic configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this method, only one of the core layers can be configured. The controller works with different types of devices. Therefore, there is no need to use a specific type of Bluetooth controller, and it is possible to implement an extremely flexible system that can be configured "in the job". As shown in Figure 4 In step 402, FD 1 is inserted. One embodiment of the present invention using a U3 compatible flash memory flash drive and/or host will now be described. U3 provides a program from fd 1〇〇 A storage and execution platform. On a U3 124725.doc -15-200830183 device, the environment variables for the device are not stored in the main login slot, but are stored in the flash memory of the coffee device. In this case, it is FD 1〇〇. The host has > - this is the case. Any configuration of the host 10 and the operation of the FD 100 is temporarily performed between the insertions of pDi_. At: =, FD1. . As a cdr〇m driver and a large storage device are listed. The CDR〇M(4) device has its own partition in FD_Ο Ο 2 . In step 510, the file in the 〇_driver is automatically executed by the host. In other words, when the CDROM drive is transferred to read the contents, the CDROM partition of the flash memory automatically executes the file by the host. Then, the automatic execution file causes the FD (10) A Bluetooth Manager program can be used for transmitting. In the step 514, the user executes the /, and the 3, 1, 3, and 1 stacks of the upper layer 118 are flashed from the flash memory 114. Human to host 15G (executable memory). The Bluetooth Manager program includes a "face specific education" in addition to the core information in a "general" or core only Bluetooth controller, as in step 518 See you. The interface specific information, together with the 5 core information, allows the universal controller to work with a particular Bluetooth device and a device of the same category, as shown in step 522. This allows for maximum flexibility in Bluetooth and a cost effective solution based on a cost effective basic Bluetooth controller. Therefore, a flash memory flash drive according to the present invention not only provides Bluetooth communication with different types of Bluetooth peripheral devices, but also allows the time to adapt to new categories through the upper layer 118. In addition, the flash memory flash drive of the present invention contains its own driver 124725.doc -16 - 200830183 required for use with a host computer and the drivers can be loaded without having to find a CDROM drive. Trouble' with or without host management rights. Although the use of the U3 platform for executing a program from a plug-in flash memory flash drive has been described with respect to Figure 5, other mechanisms or methods having the same effects can be used with the present invention. The alternative is to provide a multimedia digital signal processor chip ("DSP") into a Bluetooth controller ASIC for all layers of the Bluetooth stack s that are provided in the host while processing the multimedia content and applications. In this case, the BT controller incorporating the multimedia DSP will use the codec provided in the Dsp to recognize and decode the audio material. In this case, the packet carrying the host interface packet will be the audio/video packet to be decoded. Although this is an example of an example of multimedia content, in general, it is similar to other situations and other types of peripherals U. In these cases, the content of the HI HI packet will be 罟 罟 Ο 『 蠢 蠢 蠢 m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m This can be seen in Figure 6.
