Port 1 2 0 similarly has a plurality of electrical connection points 1 2 2 electrically connected to the corresponding electrical connection point 22 ′ of the corresponding input / output rod 20 so that the connection cock 120 is electrically connected to the input / output port 2 0, and by In this way, the bus 110 which is electrically connected to the peripheral module 100 of the electric connection point 122 can be electrically connected to the bus 34 of the mobile phone 10. The peripheral module 100 includes a peripheral circuit 30, which is electrically connected to the bus 110 ', so the peripheral circuit 130 is also electrically connected to the port 12. Therefore, when the peripheral module 100's bus Π 0 is electrically connected to the mobile phone At 10 o'clock, the peripheral circuit 130 can be electrically connected to various electronic components in the mobile phone. Similarly, the 'processing circuit 30 can also be electrically connected to the peripheral circuit 130. Therefore, once the peripheral circuit 130 is connected to the mobile phone 10 through the connection port 20 and the input / output port 20, the peripheral circuit can become a component of the mobile phone 10 and the peripheral circuit 3 〇 Perform a peripheral function to enhance the basic functions of the mobile phone 10. In addition, the peripheral module 100 includes a memory 14 for storing a peripheral driver 142 and an initialization program (initiaHzatin pr0gram) 144. The memory 140 is also powered by the bus 11 (). Connected to port 120. Therefore, when the peripheral module 100 is connected to the mobile phone 10, the memory 140 of the peripheral module 100 can be regarded as the memory 40 extended memory of the mobile phone 10.

Page 8 472475 V. Description of the invention (6) A " < < Peripheral driver 142 can be executed by the processor 32 to control and support the function of the peripheral circuit 130. In other words, the peripheral driver 42 is used to integrate the functions of the peripheral circuit 130 and the mobile phone 10, and the user interface program 42 provides an additional operation interface for the user to support the peripheral module 100. new function. In addition, the peripheral driver 丨 4 2 can control the operation of the peripheral circuit 130, and makes the operation more convenient when the user inputs the input signal. The initialization program 1 4 4 is usually executed only once when the peripheral module 丨 〇 〇 is connected to the mobile electrical activity 10, used to initialize the peripheral circuit 13 〇, and used to perform basic settings. As shown in Figure 1, the peripheral module 00 is embedded in the bottom of the mobile phone. However, this is not the only way for the present invention to connect the peripheral module 100 to the mobile phone 100. In fact, the peripheral module 100 can be fastened to one side of the mobile phone 10 or inserted into the mobile phone 10 by temporarily replacing the outer shell of the mobile phone 10. However, in this embodiment, the peripheral module is inserted at the bottom of the mobile phone 10. In addition, when there are other devices to be connected to the mobile phone 10, the connection end is usually connected to the mobile phone 10, which is sheltered by the peripheral module 100. For example, the mobile phone includes a power supply socket 13 ' It is used to charge the battery on the mobile phone 10, but the socket 13 will be shielded by the peripheral module 100 and the battery on the mobile phone cannot be charged by the socket 13. Therefore, the peripheral module〗 〇〇 must be designed as a Pei Zhi can be connected to the socket 13 "for example: the peripheral module 100 can contain a plug 103 and a socket π 3, socket 11 3 corresponds to the socket 13. When the plug 103 is inserted into the plug 13, the socket 113 can be electrically connected to the socket 13, and

Page 9 472475 V. Description of the invention (7) The power source charges the battery via the socket 11 3. Therefore, when the peripheral module 丨 〇〇 is connected to the mobile phone 10 and the interface of the mobile phone 丨 〇 (such as the socket 丨 3) is blocked, the 'peripheral module 100 can provide an equivalent interface (such as the socket 113) For users. 'Because the peripheral module 100 will be integrated with the mobile phone 10, if the peripheral module 100 fails or is not compatible with the mobile phone 10, it may have a negative impact on the mobile phone home 10. Therefore, the mobile phone 10 must be able to detect the week, whether the module 100 is inserted into the wheel in / out port 20, or when the mobile phone 10 is turned on, it can be detected whether the peripheral module 100 is inserted into the input / output port. 2〇 on. In this embodiment, once the peripheral circuit 130 is connected to the bus 34 through the input / output port 20, the peripheral circuit 130 will fasten the signal line of the bus 34 to generate an interrupt request from the processor 32. When the interrupt request is generated, the processor 32 will execute the check program 44. Therefore, when the peripheral module 100 is installed on the mobile phone, the check program 44 will be executed immediately. The main purpose of executing the check program 44 is to confirm that the peripheral module 100 has been correctly installed on the mobile phone and can be used normally. The check operation performed by check procedure 44 is necessary, because if the peripheral module ιOO fails or is not compatible with the mobile phone 10, it may happen to act, and the phone 10 may have an adverse effect. In addition, the processor 32 may receive a request that is not painful, or the interrupt request generated by the control circuit 130 is not received by the processor 32. Under these circumstances, the check program 44 may occur on the system.

mm m 5V * 4 4 、 Module 10G, m The verification method can be to use the judgment signal generated by the peripheral module if correct to check the peripheral module 100, or whether to insert a complex processing flow, and Check through a security process (such as a lock code in a publicly disclosed manner). For example, the peripheral module is designed so that its memory 140 can be mapped to a special address in the memory 40 of the mobile phone 10, and this—a specific address is defined here as 0x8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. The first six bytes at a specific address (such as 0x80000000 ~ 0x8000000 5) can be composed of random numbers, and the next two bytes (0x80000006 ~ 0x80000007) are the sum of the first six bytes. Check program 4 4 is to check whether the sum of the first six bytes (〇χ 8 000000 〇〇 ～ 0x80000005) is followed by the following sixteen bits (〇χ80000 () ( ) 6 to 0x800 0 00 07). Once the checksum of the check program 44 is added, the check program 44 will execute the initialization program 144 stored in the peripheral module 100, otherwise, the check program 44 will notify the user interface program 4 2 to send a Warning message to warn users. The main function of the initialization program 144 is to initialize the peripheral module 丨 〇〇 and integrate the software of the peripheral driver 142 and the software of the mobile phone 10 ′ so that the peripheral functions provided by the peripheral module 100 can be connected with the mobile phone. The functional integration of the ancient tongue 10 itself. In addition, it must be noted that the initialization program 1 144 must be initialized by the user interface program 42. In the current technology, although there are many ways to initialize the program

However, under the premise that the peripheral module 100 can operate normally, all methods must be used in accordance with The user interface program 42 is designed with a specific organizational structure. The following will briefly explain the initialization program 丨 44 based on the aforementioned embodiment ′ 44 to initialize the peripheral module 1 2 through the user interface program 4 2. When the peripheral module 100 passes the check of the check program 44, the check program 44 will move the program pointer to one of the peripheral modules 100. The specific memory address causes the processing circuit 30 to start the initialization program 1 44, and this specific memory address is a starting address reserved for the peripheral driver 142. For example, the memory address 0x9 00 0 00 00 can be reserved for the peripheral driver program 142 and used as the initial address of the peripheral driver program 142. After the peripheral module 100 passes the check program 4 4 check program, Checking the program 4 4 will move the program pointer to the memory address 0x90 0 00 00 0 'and cause the processing circuit 30 to start the initialization process ^ 1 44. When the initialization program 1 44 is executed, the initialization program 44 will perform-cut related actions to initialize the peripheral circuits 130 and call the user interface program 42. For example, when the initialization program 144 wants to display the functions provided by the peripheral module 100 on the display device 14 and adds a peripheral function to the mobile phone 10, the initialization program 144 calls a peripheral display of one of the user interface programs 42 Register function 'to register a peripheral auxiliary display function. This peripheral auxiliary display function is stored in the peripheral driver 14 2 and is used to control the display operation of all peripheral modules 100 in the relevant area on the display device 14. Once the processor 32 has performed the above actions, the processor 32 will return to execute the user interface program 42. Therefore, once the peripheral module 100 is completed and used,

As shown in FIG. 3, it is connected through the cable 202. In addition, the peripheral circuit in this embodiment is a network circuit 230. The user can scroll the selection items of the mobile phone 10 by pressing the button 丨 丨, and select options, and the options are displayed on the display device 14. As a general rule, mobile phones do not have options for network capabilities. However, when the peripheral module 200 is inserted into the mobile phone 10 and passes the check operation of the check program 44, the peripheral module 200 will execute the initialization program 244 and register in the red 42 of the user interface. After the above-mentioned process, the new option will be registered in the user interface program 42 through the initialization program 244, and the memory location of a directory display program 248 in the peripheral driver 242 will be transmitted to the initialization program 244 to User interface 42. Therefore, when selecting the directory, the user interface program 4 2 will call the directory: user-oriented volume 2 4 8. The display program 2 4 8 will control Fan-Zhuangpu 1, 4, 1, and HL display devices 14, and M will display the figure shown in Figure 3.
