Background technique

With the vigorous development of semiconductor technology, the manufacturing cost of various electronic devices has been greatly reduced. The same user usually has multiple electronic devices with different functions. For users who often need to go out for business, some electronic devices It is an indispensable tool, such as using a notebook computer to give briefings to customers, using a personal digital assistant (PDA) to record data such as itineraries, memos and appointments, a flash drive can be used to store clerical data, and a mobile phone can also be used. Users can keep in touch with customers anytime and anywhere. However, for these users who often need to go out, there is another point that is also very important, that is, the portability of the electronic device. The electronic device must be light, thin and small, so as to reduce the burden of the user traveling around. On the other hand, the electronic device should also take into account the functionality to meet the needs of users for functions such as telephone communication, wireless network and data storage.

Based on the needs of users for mobile communications, the scope of wireless network technology has expanded from short-distance infrared and radio frequency technology to long-distance global voice and data networks. Electronic devices that generally use wireless networks include notebook computers, desktop computers, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones.
