One to one communication. The transceiver is then again connected to the upload port of the hub, which is a type A USB socket, which is not a common practice. In order to use the hub in a wired manner, a type A USB plug to the type A USB plug cable can be used. Another possibility is that the uploader is a conventional type B USB socket, and the transceiver has a -type B USB plug' which is not a common practice. In order to pair an adapter or cable with a Type A USB plug, a = connection to a Type B USB socket can be provided. In order to use the I-capability of the hub in a wired manner, it is possible to use - the conventional type A USB plug to the type β _ plug of the wire 0. In order to supply power from the scale to the transceiver, the doping usually has === The supply 'and the USB upload port has a power connection, which is also not known. The power connection is preferably switchable, so that if the 埠=wired connection to the electrical name, the power source cannot be smuggled into a computer. Preferably, the switch can be formed by the magnetic switch being mounted in the hub immediately adjacent to the towel having a magnet that is inserted into the USB upload port. In other words, the switch can be actually engaged. With - lion (4) _ to manufacture = 200945055 is understandably held on the transceiver, the fixed switch former is provided to easily plug the transceiver into the computer Ability interface. Accordingly, the switch former preferably has the spring loaded into its switch merging position. In a preferred embodiment, the switch former is provided with a latch to hold the switch former and the transceiver in the engaged/inserted position. According to another aspect of the present invention, a transceiver is provided for use in wireless data communication between a computer and a data processing device, the transceiver having: a USB plug; and a switch actuating device for actuating the data processing A switch in the device that turns on the power of the transceiver when the transceiver is connected to one of the data processing devices. . However, the switch actuating device as described above is a magnet that is placed in the transceiver. The transceiver preferably has a body, and a latch slidably attached to the body for holding the transceiver to the switch actuating device, and the switch actuating device is attached to the switch On the latch. Again, the switch actuating device can be a magnet that is attached to the latch. In yet another preferred embodiment, the switch actuating device is: the latch 1 - is configured to be a switch actuator. The detailed description of the structure, features and objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. [Embodiment] Please - and refer to Figure 4, the hub has a housing 2 having a type A USB socket 3 on the surface of the housing and two side surfaces on the housing 2 There are four types of A USB sockets 4. The type a USB socket 3 is an upload 埠 ^itream) and the type A USB socket 4 is a down-stream. The two 1 has an internal circuit for connecting the USB socket 3 and the Type A USB socket 4, and the circuit is known to be--except for one of the examples described below, which is well known to the reader, so the following will The description will not be repeated. The wireless USB transceiver 11 has a type AUSB plug 12. It can be connected to the computer (not shown) on 6 200945055, and it has an itching and bad effect. It can start communication after the alpha 11 and the electric service. It can be reconnected by 11 and the communication of this computer is transmitted under the condition of 埠4. The power contact point of the type A_socket 3 is a πςβ塱1 cloth (V〇ltage aCr〇SS) to provide power to the transceiver 11, and the material is not known. Wire, the battery is turned off to allow the data to be transmitted to the wire H 1, and the voltage is not transmitted back to the computer.收发 ❹ The transceiver has a sliding clip 2 that is driven by the spring 22 to leave the beta plug. The sliding clamp 21 has fingers 23 for engaging the inside of the casing 2 and above the loading bowl. And a birdie 24 extends from the periphery of the body 2 of the transceiver and is internally connected to the finger. - the boring head 24 is connected to the finger portion 23 via a thin contact portion 25, whereby when the upper extension portion 26 of the finger portion 23 is pressed together, the finger portion 23 Leaving from the edges 27 of the transceiver. Below the thin contact portion 25, the finger portion 23 has a flange 28 extending to cover the body 20 of the transceiver. The spring 22 is thus actuated such that the spring 22 extends between the fingers 23 and the edge 27 of the transceiver. On one end, the spring 22 abuts the thin contact portion 25 and on the other end the projection (iUgS) 29 extends from the edge 27. When the sliding clip 21 is in the non-clamping position as shown in FIG. 3, the end of the finger portion 23 extends from below the protruding frame 29, and the tapered clip features 30 and the protruding frame 29 The lower side is engaged. The tapered clip 30 not only holds the slide clip 21 on the body 20 of the transceiver, but a wedge 31 is located above the love head 24 being pushed above the start assembly, when the upper extension 26 is on the upper extension 26 The sliding clamp 21 can be maintained when the sliding clamp 21 is lifted off the bracket 29.

As soon as the transceiver is first inserted into the hub, the USB socket 12 is sprinkled with the upload port 3 by the slide clip 21 held by the spring 22. The tapered portion 30 enters the opening 32 on either side of the crucible 3 and is slightly driven away by contact with the housing portion 33 between the opening 32 and the crucible 3. Clamping the upper extension 26 and pressing down will cause the tapered tip 3 to spring through the housing portion 33 until the tapered clip 30 is inserted deep enough to spring back into the housing. Below the portion 33, as shown in Figure 4, the result is that the transceiver is rigidly attached to the crucible 3. The circuit of the hub has a circuit board 34 that is connected to the circuit machine. Up to the board 34 is a -_(_her) 35 for switching power from a power input (power i) 36 to the upload port 3 via a power control (not shown). The switch 35 is formed by contact with the end of any of the fingers 23' again as shown in Fig. 4. Thus, when the transceiver is connected and the slider 21 is coupled, power is supplied to the transceiver. The transceiver has a SWitdl 37' that can be removed from the plug and the transceiver is set to the pairing mode. The switch 37 is automatically moved to its position for normal use by the ram 24 to slide the slide clamp a into its engaged position. In the event that the transceiver is removed, the upper extension 26 of the finger 23 is squeezed together to release the tapered clip 30 and the transceiver slide clamp 21. The detailed description of the embodiments described above is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the transceiver or at least its sliding clip 21 may have a magnet (m=gnet) 51 and its circuit board 34 has a reed switch (1_1 switch 52). The power supply circuit of the transceiver can be configured when the transceiver is in close proximity to the reed switch 52 when the driver is in the air. The present disclosure is a preferred embodiment, and a partial change or The patents that have been modified from the technical idea of the case and are easily inferred by those who are familiar with the skill are not in the scope of the patent right of the case. The '75 is the case, the case is showing its purpose, means and effect.迥8 200945055 技 , 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 2009 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a USB hub according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
