The sound module 130 includes a sounding unit 131, an audio processing unit 132, a power unit 133, and a second wireless unit 134. The external storage reading unit 135. The audio processing unit 132 is electrically connected to the sounding unit 131, the power unit 133, and the second wireless unit 134.

The computing unit 110 is configured to process the multimedia file in the storage unit 140 and play the multimedia file through the sounding module 130. The multimedia file is a sound file or a video file. In order to clearly distinguish the audio data (that is, the aforementioned multimedia file) sent by the various devices, the audio data sent by the arithmetic unit 110 is defined as the first audio data 141. The multimedia file transmitted by the external device 220 is defined as the second audio data 221. The external storage reading unit can transmit the third audio data 161. The computing unit 110 can receive the data packets from the external device 220 through the first wireless unit 120, and reassemble the data packets and output the multimedia files. Or the computing unit 110 processes the multimedia file and outputs the data packet, and then sends the data packet to the external device 220 through the first wireless unit 120. The data packet is a network packet generated by the multimedia file according to a network transmission protocol. The type of the first wireless unit 120 may be, but not limited to, a Bluetooth transmission protocol or a wireless network transmission protocol (IEEE 802.1X series). The external device 220 is a mobile device or a computer having a corresponding wireless transmission protocol.

The audio processing unit 132 is internally connected to the sounding unit 131, the power unit 133, and the second wireless unit 134, and the audio processing unit 132 is externally connected to the arithmetic unit 110. The audio processing unit 132 receives the sound material from the arithmetic unit 110 or receives the multimedia file from the external device 220. The audio processing unit 132 is configured to convert the multimedia file into an electrical signal conforming to the sounding unit 131.

Please refer to the 2A and 2B drawings, which are respectively schematic diagrams of the operation of the present invention during operation and shutdown. The channel switching unit 150 can be used as a basis for path switching of audio data by means of a dip switch or a signal trigger. Or the signal triggering method is used as the basis for path switching. The channel switching unit 150 can operate when the integrated computer 100 is in operation or when it is turned off.

Take the dip switch as an example, and the dip switch can be adjusted to the first mode and the second mode. The user can switch the dip switch to the first mode in the integrated computer 100, indicating that the arithmetic unit 110 is connected to the sounding unit 131. Therefore, in this state, the integrated computer 100 outputs the processed first audio data 141 to the sounding unit 131. Operation unit 110 The multimedia file (that is, the first audio data 141 and the third audio data 161) can be obtained from the storage unit 140 or the external device 220. In contrast, when the dip switch is switched to the second mode, the channel switching unit 150 will disconnect or bypass the connection of the arithmetic unit 110. At this time, the audio processing unit 132 only receives the first audio data 141 from the external device 220.

When the integrated computer 100 is in operation, the channel switching unit 150 can switch between the first mode or the second mode. If the all-in-one computer 100 is turned off, the arithmetic unit 110 cannot operate. Therefore, in the state in which the integrated computer 100 is turned off, the channel switching unit 150 can only switch to the second mode.

In addition to the aforementioned manner of the dip switch, the channel switching unit 150 can also be triggered by an electrical signal. The integrated computer 100 can also send an enable signal to the sounding module 130 and the channel switching unit 150 during the shutdown process, so that the audio processing unit 132 and the power unit 133 are enabled when the integrated computer 100 is turned off. The power unit 133 will provide power when the audio processing unit 132, the sounding unit 131, and the second wireless unit 134 operate. When the integrated computer 100 is turned off and the sounding module 130 is enabled, the second wireless unit 134 can receive the data packet from the connected device. The received data packet is converted by the audio processing unit 132, and the processed signal is output to the sounding unit 131.

The external storage reading unit 135 is used to connect the external memory 160. The external memory 160 may be, but not limited to, an external optical disk drive, a flash jet, or a memory card. The external storage reading unit can transmit the third audio data 161 of the external memory 160 to the audio processing unit 132. When the sound module 130 is enabled, the audio processing unit 132 can read the third audio data 161 of the external memory 160 in addition to the second audio data 221 of the external device 220.

The embodiment of the present invention further includes an arithmetic unit 311, a storage unit 312, and a sounding module 320.
