Wireless transceiver with pluggable memory card, wireless computer peripheral device and computer system

The present invention relates to a wireless transceiver, and more particularly to a wireless transceiver suitable for data transmission between a computer device and a peripheral device of a wireless computer.

In recent years, both personal computers and notebook computers have gradually developed a light and short design trend. In order to achieve this design feature, the exposed USB slots on the personal computer or laptop are becoming less and less, and even a single USB slot is left for the user to use. For wireless computer peripherals, such as wireless mice and wireless keyboards, the wireless transceivers used will inevitably occupy a USB slot on the computer device. For example, in the case where the computer device is designed with only a single USB slot for the user to use, when the wireless transceiver used by the wireless computer peripheral device has occupied a single USB slot of the computer device, the user cannot The card reader is plugged into the computer device for reading and storing data, and the use of the peripheral device of the wireless computer must be suspended first, and the wireless transceiver is removed before the card reader can be used. That is to say, the wireless transceiver of the wireless computer peripheral device currently used in the market is only used as a communication interface between the wireless computer peripheral device and the computer device, and no other added value necessarily requires occupying a USB slot on the computer device.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a wireless transceiver capable of plugging in a memory card for reading or storing data on a memory card and electrically connecting with the computer device to receive the wireless signal sent by the peripheral device of the wireless computer. . A wireless transceiver that can be plugged into a memory card, including a base, a plug, a circuit board, and a memory card slot. The inside of the base has an accommodation space. The plug portion is disposed on one side of the base, and the plug portion is formed with an insertion space that communicates with the accommodation space. The circuit board is disposed inside the base and the plug portion. The circuit substrate has a control circuit, a wireless transceiver circuit and a transmission interface, wherein the control circuit is coupled to the wireless transceiver circuit and the transmission interface. The memory card slot is coupled to the circuit board for the memory card to be inserted, and the transmission interface and the memory card slot are respectively located in the insertion space.

The present invention also provides a wireless computer peripheral device, including a body having a receiving portion and a wireless transceiver capable of plugging in a memory card. The wireless transceiver of the pluggable memory card can be stored in the receiving portion of the body for the user to carry.

The present invention further provides a computer system including a host, a wireless transceiver capable of plugging in a memory card, and a wireless computer peripheral device. The wireless transceiver is plugged into the expansion slot of the host through the plug-in portion, and the wireless computer peripheral device wirelessly connects the wireless transceiver to transmit data with the host.

In summary, the wireless transceiver of the pluggable memory card of the present invention can not only receive and transmit data between the computer device and the peripheral device of the wireless computer, but also become a communication interface between the computer device and the peripheral device of the wireless computer. On the other hand, due to the design of the plug-in structure for accommodating the memory card in the USB interface, it can be used as a card reader to realize the function of reading or storing data, and becomes a communication interface between the computer device and the memory card. In this way, the wireless transceiver of the present invention can transmit data between the computer device and the peripheral device of the wireless computer and the computer device and the memory card through the same USB slot without occupying one USB slot. The transmission of data between them expands the product value of traditional wireless transceivers.
