FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a handheld device capable of simulating a handheld electronic device and a handheld electronic device into the technology. Application technology of electronic devices, especially after a computer host is connected, the application technology of the gamepad joystick of the host computer. Previous technologies:-Smart handheld electronic devices, such as personal digital assistants (P ^ K〇 nal dlgital assistant (hereinafter abbreviated as pDA), its original design goal was to become a personal information management tool (personal information management (piM)), such as: personal time record management, notepad, phone book and other basic functions, and It is called electronic handbook (organizer). However, after the era of communication and computer integration, today's PDAs not only have basic note-taking functions, but also emphasize the ability to integrate voice and wireless transmission, such as a smart phone (smart ph〇ne that combines the functions of mobile phones and PDAs). ), In addition to retaining the original personal information management function, it can also send and receive e-mail, read news or download information on the Internet. It can also be used as a mobile communication tool for voice communication. Therefore, 'smartphones have gradually become a popular electronic product nowadays. one. This type of Donghui-type handheld electronic device 'is provided with a display screen and a plurality of keys, and can transfer or exchange data with a computer host through a communication interface (such as a transmission line, a wireless transceiver module). Because the intelligent handheld electronic device can download the necessary files and data through the computer host, many interesting computer games have been developed on the Internet for consumers to download.

Description of the invention (2) ^ However, since today's electronic products are oriented towards light, thin, short /, development spindles "& the size of the display screens set by them are also subject to:- Because of this, many people still think that using a desktop computer or a notebook computer to play the second brain = play is more fun. However, if you are only using computer games to play computer games-computer keys ΐ ^ ^) for manipulation, this is Some game content and "quote," you have to pay a separate cost, because 丄 :: using the existing ", 3L handheld electronic device 'simulate a computer can replace the function of the game joystick. ㈣ rocking talents' is invented Contents: The present invention is a method of using a hand to make a brain joystick by using the present invention. One object of the present invention is to hold an electronic device model and hold a device and a device for simulating a game joystick to simulate an electronic computer. After the main engine is shaken, and if the hand-held electronic equipment electronic device is placed in the center of the central brain to communicate with the computer, the center is equipped with a turn-on button, a lever function, the hand-held electronic device and the power on Simulation office The processing unit's communication interface enters the host, and the processing unit will respectively correspond to the ax system. It hopes that it will shake the brain game of the device, that is, the bank will initially confirm that it should be limited to become capable of forming a bar between the additional price of a province. After the computer holds a number of rocking hands to purchase mobile value, when the communication is connected, the hand holds the power and transmits the main technical line of the joystick. To the key set on the identification, imitate the cost of one to order the handheld electronic device and the pole to identify the plural data of the handheld.
