INSTRUCTIONS (1) The present invention claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/335,693, filed on Oct. 30, 2001, entitled "Wireless PCI Single Chip Solution (Wireless PCI Single Chip) Solution] '', the application of which is incorporated herein by reference. 5 RELATED APPLICATIONS RELATED APPLICATIONS The present invention relates to the following common trial and joint patent application: serial number ____________, October 8, 2002, the name is Bluetooth Transparent Bridge; it is incorporated herein by reference. 10 [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention generally relates to digital communication for use in a computer system: A system and method for use, and a system and method for providing unsupported wireless digital communication in a computer system without the need for additional support software. [Prior Art] Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Office Staff Consumption Co-operative printing In general, one of the strongest features of a computer system is its ability to receive additional circuits and/or equipment. The ability of the knot 20 (usually and generally referred to as the perimeter). This ability can greatly increase the flexibility and usability of the computer system. For example, the peripheral add-on can increase the useful life of the computer system. When adding the perimeter to the computer system There may be several methods in this paper. The Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) may be applied in several ways. 1292270 B7 5. One (or more) of the invention instructions (2) is installed in the computer system. The perimeter can be installed by using a wired cable, a wireless connection, or an access port. An example of a wired cable connection may be one of various communication busses, such as a parallel or serial bus, a universal serial bus (USB), Small 5 computer system interface (SCSI), IEEE 1394 bus, fiber, etc. On the other hand, the wireless connection may be radio frequency (RE), optical, microwave, or any data and information that can be transmitted without a specific connection. Other methods. Examples of wireless connections may be IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.11a, Bluetooth, HomeRF, etc. Or, 10 access 埠 can be directly in the power A series of connections on one side of the system, and the perimeter can be connected to it without any additional wiring or wireless links. An example of access can be a PCCard slot' Peripheral Connection Interface (PCI), high-level graphics埠(AGP), etc. When the peripheral system is installed in the computer system through the 15 interface that has been supported by the computer operating system software, it is generally unnecessary to load the additional support software into the computer system. This is because the support software is already built in In the operating system. Printed by the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the consumer consortium. When the peripheral system is installed in a computer system through an interface that is not supported by the computer operating system software, additional support software is required to be loaded into the computer system. The support software provides the required functions to the computer operating system software to provide support for the peripheral interface. For example, if the wireless keyboard is designed to be wirelessly installed into a computer system by using a UWB wireless connection, unless the computer system has a Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) for this paper size Μ Β7 1292270 V. INSTRUCTIONS (3) UWB wireless network built-in support, otherwise the operating system for the computer system must be loaded with support software to identify the UWB wireless network and the wireless keyboard. A disadvantage of having to load additional support software into the operating system of a computer system is that the addition of any software essentially makes the computer system more unstable. Adding a program is less likely to make the computer system more reliable. The second drawback to adding additional support software for each unsupported interface in a computer system is that the operating system of the computer system will continue to grow and grow with each additional support program. When the job j * ·: The size of the system grows, the performance of the computer system is generally impaired. Also, the hardware infrastructure requirements of the operating system will increase, requiring faster processors or more memory. [Brief Description of the Invention] By way of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, these and other problems are generally solved or avoided, and the technical advantages are generally achieved by the present invention without the need to add necessary supporting software. Use a link technology that is not supported by the operating system of the computer system to provide connectivity to the perimeter of the computer system. The preferred embodiment of the present invention eliminates the need for supporting software by providing a separate interface between the perimeter and its linking technology and the computer system. The independent interface is then provided between the signals generated by the unsupported link technology and the support link method. 10 Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau Staff Consumer Cooperatives Printed 20 -5 - 1292270 A7 B7 V.

It shows a functional block diagram of a known system 405 that is installed to the periphery 410 of the computer system via a wireless connection 412 (preferably a UWB wireless connection). As discussed earlier, the perimeter 410 will normally function as a UWB. Any client (or slave) device in the network. Alternatively, the perimeter 410 can be used as a peer in a peer-to-peer network.

This transmission is received by the xj WB transceiver 415, which in turn is transmitted by the UWB transceiver 415 to the operating system 425 of the electrical system. However, because UWB transceiver 415 is an unsupported communication system, UWB transceiver 415 is extremely unlikely to communicate directly with operating system 425. Of course, the UWB transceiver 415 may be connected to the communication bus 422 and thus to the processor 435 of the computer system. 10 Ministry of Economic Affairs Smart Property Bureau Staff Consumer Cooperative Printed UWB wireless networks communicate using messages that follow a specific format and are transmitted using a specific messaging protocol. Communication bus 7 2 will not be able to use compatible messaging protocols such as UWB wireless networks. Therefore, interface 420 is required to perform the switching between the signaling protocols used by the UWB wireless network and the signaling protocols used by communication bus 422. This message is transmitted to the job system 425 after being converted by the interface 420. Again, the transfer of the message on the communication bus 4-2 will normally require another conversion to change it to a communication protocol compatible with the protocol used by the operating system 425. The second person conversion is performed by the second interface 424. 20 The message transmitted by perimeter 410 has undergone two different conversions to change it to a compatible agreement required at a particular time, however, in most cases, the information contained in the message itself has not been altered. For example, g, the UWB message transmitted by the periphery maintains the UWB grid. -13 - This paper scale applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇 X 297 mm) A7 B7 1292270 V. Inventive Note (12). Therefore, in order to process the job system 425 of the information contained in the UWB message, it is necessary to agree on the software stack 430. The functionality of the protocol software stack is used to translate messages encoded in the UWB format into material that the operating system 430 can understand. In general, the protocol software stack 5 430 will operate in both directions, for example, converting to UWB format and converting from UWB format. After conversion by the agreement software stack 430, the message is provided to the processor 435 via the operating system 425 taking the appropriate action. This message is typically provided in an interrupted fashion from operating system 425 10 to processor 435, which causes processor 435 to stop the action currently being performed to read and process the message. Similar but reversed events will result from messages from processor 435 to perimeter 410. Printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Office Staff Consumer Cooperative In some cases, there may be several communication busses between the UWB transceiver 415 and the processor 435. For example, if the 15 UWB transceiver 415 is connected to a universal serial port (USB) (a common communication bus in the current computer environment), the USB will then be connected to the computer system's own internal bus, such as the perimeter. Connection interface (PCI) bus. Referring now to Figure 4b, a functional block diagram of a typical current computer system 455 having a peripheral 460 installed to a computer system via a wireless connection 20 462 (preferably a UWB wireless connection) is shown. As shown in Figure 4b, computer system 455 is characterized by allowing other UWB transceivers (and their peripherals) to be connected to computer system 455-14 - This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm) Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumption cooperative printed 1292270 B7 V. Invention Description (I3) UWB Transceiver 465. UWB transceiver 465 is coupled to computer system 455 via a universal serial port (USB) 472. The USB 472 is a communication bus that exists in most of today's computer systems. It allows for the connection of a variety of devices including network adapters, such as 5 UWB transceiver 465 (which effectively acts as a UWB network adapter). The UWB transceiver 465 uses the UWB format to communicate with the messaging protocol, thus utilizing the USB 472, requiring the interface 455 to provide conversion for incompatible UWB and USB signaling protocols. Although the USB 472 is a widely available communication bus, it is not often used to perform direct communication with the computer system 455. Of course, the processor 485 typically communicates with the device and the peripherals to which it is connected via a peripheral component interface (PCI) 476. PCI 476 is a 15 high speed communication bus that is used by processor 485 to communicate with other communication busses (e.g., USB 472) connected to the periphery of computer system 455. In addition, another interface is needed to translate the information in the PCI format and the messaging protocol into a format and protocol that the processor 4 § 5 understands. A third interface 474 is required for translation between the USB and PCI formats and the messaging protocol. Please note that as in Figure 4a, there is a need for a protocol stack 482 to be placed in the operating system 480 of the computer system for performing the conversion of the actual messages transmitted to the processor 485 (and transmitted from the processor 485). Since the message will not be understandable if it is not converted, it is necessary to use the protocol software stack 485 for execution. -15- This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm).

Description of invention (14) Conversion of information. However, if the agreement software stack 485 has not been added to the operating system 480, it will have to be built into the operating system during installation of the primary station unit 465. As discussed earlier, the introduction of additional software into the operating system will only be used to make the operating system more unstable and to reduce the performance of the computer system. Referring now to Figure 5, there is shown a functional block diagram of a computer system 505 having a peripheral 510 mounted to a computer system 505 via a wireless link 512 (which is preferably a UWB wireless link in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention). . The computer system 505 is characterized in that the computer system 10 505 is connected to a peripheral (e.g., peripheral 510) having a built-in UWB transceiver. . . .: UWB transceiver 515 is connected. UWB transceiver 515 is coupled to the remainder of computer system 505 via communication bus 522, and interface 520 is configured to perform any desired conversion between the format of the UWB message and the message protocol and communication bus 522. 15 Up to this point, the functional block diagram shown in Figure 5 is the same as the functional block diagram shown in Figure 4a of the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Interface 520 is preferably capable of converting information into a communication bus format and converting from a communication bus. For example, if the communication bus 522 is a USB, the interface 520 can translate the UWB message into a USB message, -16- the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm) 1292270 B7. Description of the invention (is) and vice versa. Since the computer system 505 already supports the communication bus 522, the computer system operating system 526 does not require additional protocol software stacking (as done by the computer system shown in Figures 4a and 4b). In fact, 5 the agreed software stack that needs to translate the message from the communication bus 522 has been built into the operating system 526. Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Office Staff Consumer Cooperative Printing Referring now to Figure 6, there is shown a UWB transceiver 6Ϊ0, USB 620, and converting a UWB message into a USB message or converting a USB message into a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention. A detailed view of one of the interfaces 630 of the UWB message 10. The UWB transceiver 610 transmits and receives messages from the UWB wireless device, and the USB 620 is a high-speed communication bus that allows various devices to be wired to the computer system, and the USB 620 itself is installed to the computer system. Interface 630 is used to translate and translate messages communicated between UWB transceiver 610 15 and USB 620 (or vice versa). The conversion and translation performed by interface 630 allows messages from one side of the interface 630 (UWB transceiver 610 or USB 620) to be transmitted on the other side. The message from the 20 UWB transceiver 610 that determines the processor (not shown) to the computer system will pass through the path below the interface 630. This message is transmitted from the UWB format and the protocol by the UWB to the USB translator 640. Convert and translate into USB format and messaging protocol. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the UWB is compatible with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) for USB translation -17- This paper size. 1292270 B7 5. Invention Description (16) 640 is not only The UWB message is translated into a format compatible with the USB 620, and the actual message is translated into a USB message. Previously, most interfaces simply incorporated messages into a compatible message format. For example, the previous UWB-to-USB translator would only accept UWB messages and put them in the USB message to split the UWB message into multiple parts, so it would be built into the USB message if needed. Messages from the USB 620 to the UWB transceiver 610 will follow the path through interface 630, where the message is converted and translated into UWB messages. Referring now to Figure 7, there is shown a pair of UWB wireless devices 714 and 729 and accompanying interfaces 712 and 727 for use in a multimedia server in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. 710 is coupled to a block diagram of multimedia component device 725.
