Prior Technology Please refer to FIG. 1. Generally, a digital camera 5 generally uses an external memory card 51 to be inserted into a slot 52 (slot) opened by the digital camera 5 to increase storage space. Therefore, when a digital image is captured, the controller provided in the digital camera 5 will perform image processing and store the digital image data obtained by the shooting into the memory card 51. Later, when you want to output images, you can use the built-in interface of the digital camera 5 itself (such as a universal serial bus (USB) port, or IEEE 1394 port, etc.) to connect to a personal computer to transfer digital images from the digital The camera 5 is copied to a personal computer; or a card reader 53 as shown in FIG. 2 can be used. After the memory card 51 is inserted into the card reader 53, the card reader 53 and the computer system 54 can be connected to The digital images stored in the memory card 51 are transmitted to the computer system 54 for users to perform subsequent editing or burning operations. However, the memory cards sold on the market are limited in capacity, most of which are only 128MB or 256MB, and the price is thousands of yuan, which is very expensive. In addition, it is known that there are many types of memory cards developed by various manufacturers, including CF (compact flash) memory cards, SM (smart media) memory cards, MS (memory stick) memory cards, and SD (secure digital) Memory cards ... and so on, and different types of memory cards are not mutually exclusive, which is not ideal.

The portable camera device is provided with a slot. Among them, the wireless data transfer card includes a transfer card and a wireless :: unit. The adapter card has a memory card interface and an adapter slot. The memory card interface is used to be inserted into the slot of the portable camera device to capture the image data of the portable camera. The adapter slot The signal pin information of the corresponding card interface is defined. The wireless transmission unit has an adapter pin, a reconfigurable interface control module, and a first wireless module. 6 groups of adapter pins are used to plug in. Set in the adapter slot, and the reconfigurable interface control module detects the signal pin information of the adapter slot to set the adapter pin to the interface corresponding to the signal pin information. After that, it can be reorganized The secondary interface & fj & group takes out the image shell from the adapter card through the conversion pin, and converts it into a data signal corresponding to the first wireless module, and then converts the data signal to The 1-line data storage unit for transmitting radio waves includes 12 wireless modules, a storage medium, and an access control module. Section: The wireless module is used to receive the radio waves from the first, the, and the line modules and convert the radio waves back to the image data; the access control module captures the images in the second wireless module Data and write it to storage media. 4. Implementation Modes In order to enable the review committee members to better understand the technical contents of the present invention, the preferred specific embodiments are described as follows. Refer to Figures 3, 4, and J. Wormhole J. 4 and Figure 5. The multi-face helmet f storage device of this embodiment is applied to a portable camera device 3 (this embodiment is a digital camera 30, When it can be a digital camera, or other equivalent device, the 'mainly includes two major components, such as a transmission card and a wireless data storage unit 2 as shown in FIG. 4. The wireless data transmission card can be inserted into a digital camera.) 〇 Prepare an eight digital camera. 30 The memory inserted on the side is used to convert the data that the digital camera 30 originally intended to write into the memory card into wireless image data. Wireless data storage single heart. The following will detail the wireless data transmission card! And wireless data storage unit, and the operation flow of data transmission between the components. 7 578093 The wireless data transmission card 1 is composed of an adapter card 11 and a wireless transmission unit 12. The adapter card has a memory card interface m and an adapter slot 112. The wireless transmission unit 12 has a An adapter pin 12m, a reconfigurable interface control module 122, a first wireless module 123, and a reconfigurable connection port 124. Among them, the format of the memory card interface 111 can be designed and replaced with different memory card interfaces 111 for different digital cameras 30. For example, it is a CF memory card interface, an SM memory card interface, an MS memory card interface, or an SD memory card. Interface ... etc., and the main function of the adapter card 丨 1 is to connect the pin or signal pin information on the memory card interface 111 to the adapter slot 112 to insert the adapter pin 121 of the wireless transmission unit 12 When set in the transfer slot 112, the transfer pin 121 is set to an interface corresponding to the signal pin information defined by the transfer slot 丨 2 via the reconfigurable port 124 (step S501). It should be noted that the foregoing step S501 is suitable for the case where the wireless data transmission card 1 is inserted into the slot 31 of the digital camera 30 for the first time. For example, when the memory card interface 111 is a CF card interface, it must be first Via the reconfigurable port 124, the adapter pin 121 connected to the reconfigurable interface control module 122 is not designated as the pin of the CF card interface. If you want to change it to 8] ^ card interface, you only need to go through this. Reassemble the port 124 and set the adapter pin 121 to the pin of the SM card interface. After the setting is completed, if the same memory card interface m is still used next time without changing the setting of the adapter pin 121 ', the process of step S501 can be omitted. In this embodiment, the transfer slot 112 is a general purpose input and output (Gpi0) slot, and the transfer pin 121 is a universal input / output pin; and The reconfigurable world 8 578093 surface control module 122 in this example is preferably a reconfigurable chip, such as a PIC (Programmable integrated circuit) single chip, a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) chip Or a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip, etc., and this reconfigurable chip is used to receive signal pin information of the memory card interface 1 η transmitted from the transfer pin 121 In addition, it can also be used as the control of the first wireless module 123; the reconfigurable port 124 is, for example, using the boundary scan test logic defined by the IEEE JTAG team (joint test action group, JTAG) to reset the transfer pin 121. . After the transfer pin 121 is set to correspond to the signal pin information of the memory card interface n, the reconfigurable interface control module 122 can start receiving control of the memory card interface 111. Therefore, when the digital camera 300 is turned on, the reconfigurable interface control module 122 will first generate a control signal to complete the setting of the first wireless module 123, and the first wireless module 23 will be connected to the wireless data storage unit 2. The second wireless module 21 communicates to establish a channel for wireless data transmission (step S502). When the establishment of this channel is completed, the initialization of the entire multi-interface wireless storage device is completed. Among them, the first wireless module 123 and the second wireless module 21 in this embodiment are preferably wireless bluetooth modules. After the initialization operation is completed, the wireless data transmission card 丨 will notify the digital camera 30 that the memory card has been installed, so the digital camera can start to operate. Of course, the digital camera 30 itself will not be aware of the presence of the wireless data transmission card 1 and the wireless data storage unit 2; that is, when the digital camera 309 578093 starts to take pictures, it will still use its original image data to be written to the memory card. Way to write the image data to the wireless data transmission card 1. When the digital camera 30 wants to write the image data into the wireless data transmission card i, since the adapter pin 121 has been set to correspond to the pin of the memory card interface 111, the reconfigurable interface control module 122 can directly Receive the image data from the digital camera 30 via the adapter pin 121 (step 5503). The reconfigurable interface control module 122 then converts the obtained image negative material into a data signal corresponding to the first wireless module 123 (step 5504), and sends it to the first wireless module 123 (for example, by using the ffiRS_232 interface to Transmitting data signals), and then the first wireless module 23 transmits the data signals converted into radio waves to the second wireless module 21 through the previously established wireless data channel (step S505). When the second wireless module 21 of the wireless data storage unit 2 receives the radio wave transmitted by the first wireless module 123 of the wireless data transmission card 1, it will convert the radio wave to the wireless data transmission card i The image data transmitted by the reconfigurable interface control module 122 on the Internet (step S506), and then send it to the access control module 22 'which controls the storage medium 23 to write the image data into the storage medium 23 (step S507) . Among them, the storage medium 23 preferably uses a general IDE hard disk as a high-capacity storage device; and the access control module 22 may be a control module implemented by a pic single chip, a CPLD chip, or an FPGA chip, or An IDE hard disk control chip for writing image data into the storage medium 23 using an IDE interface. Therefore, when the digital camera 30 is to write image data into the memory card, the multi-interface wireless storage device proposed in this embodiment can simulate the function of 10 hidden Z cards to store the image data output by the digital camera 30 . Similarly, when the digital camera 30 wants to read out the image file from the memory card, the same method is used, except that the direction of data transmission is from the storage medium 23 to the digital camera 30, which is opposite to the flow of FIG. 5 . It is a command to send and read image data from the digital camera 30 to a multi-interface wireless storage device for transmitting the image data in the storage medium 23 through the second wireless module 21 to the first wireless module 123, and then to the digital camera. %. According to the above description, since the multi-interface wireless storage device proposed by the present invention uses a device such as an IDE hard disk as the storage medium, the memory capacity of the portable camera device will be greatly increased to several tens times or even more. Hundred times, and the price is much lower than ordinary FLASH memory, which helps to increase consumer willingness. In addition, the present invention can support all memory card interfaces. By providing a slot format with a portable camera device Aiguya ’s memory card interface is a great step forward to motivate the portable camera device to use the original method of writing image data into the memory card without affecting the operating mode of the portable camera device. The above embodiments are merely examples for the convenience of description. The scope of the claimed rights of the present invention shall be based on the scope of the patent application, rather than being limited to the above embodiments. V.
