Description

200812288 IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, in particular to a mobile device such as a notebook, a ultra-mini mobile computer (UMPC) or Related mobile devices. The electronic apparatus is provided to perform functions such as voice communication or data communication as a mobile communication mobile phone. [Prior Art] Recently, notebooks, ultra-mini mobile computers (UMPCs), and mobile communication devices such as GSM phones, WiFi phones, dual-mode phones, 3G multimode phones, etc. Spring-like provides users with a variety of convenient use and communication functions. The variety of choices has also led to an increasing number of user options, even multiple numbers and multiple computers at the same time. Based on this situation, the built-in communication module or external communication module on the notebook computer or ultra-mini mobile computer seems to be gradually becoming a demand for various mobile computers. Therefore, the main scope of the present invention is to provide a communication module built in or externally connected to a mobile computing device such as a notebook computer or a mini mobile computer (UMPC), so as to function as a computer plus a mobile phone to solve the above problem. Problems and provide more convenient and longer talk and standby times. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One aspect of the present invention is to design a wireless communication system on a mobile computer. At the same time, in this integrated communication system, the user can not only regard the system as a mobile computer but also as a mobile communication system, and can perform computer operation operations and mobile phone functions in the power-on state, and shut down and Voice, video, or data communication functions can also be performed when suspended. 20060817: THOMSONOO 1TW 6 200812288 According to a preferred embodiment, the wireless communication system of the present invention comprises an electronic apparatus and a wireless communication module. The electronic device can be a mobile computer such as a notebook or a mini mobile computer (UMPC). The wireless communication module can be a wireless telephone module or a wireless data module, such as a wireless local area network telephone module (WiFi Phone Module), a dual mode telephone module (2G+WiFi Phone Module), and a third generation multi-mode mobile phone. Communication module such as module (2G/3G + WiFi Phone Module). Therefore, the user of the electronic device according to the present invention uses the electronic device in the power-on state as if using a notebook computer, or a mobile computer, or a high-end personal digital assistant. At the same time, do the connection function of mobile phone or wireless digital. When the user uses the electronic device to shut down or suspend use, the electronic device functions as a voice, video or data communication function as a mobile phone. The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which are diagrams showing the usage mode according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the functional modules of the integrated wireless communication system in Figure 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication system 1 of the present invention comprises a wireless service provider (Wireless Service Provider) 12, an electronic device (Electronic Apparatus) 10, and a communication base station ( Base Station) ll. The communication base station is used to communicate with the electronic device 10 and the network service provider 12. In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 is a notebook or a ultra-mini mobile computer (UMPC) or a mobile computing device. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 10 includes a wireless communication module 101, and a power control module 1002, a battery module 1003, and an input/output interface 1004. 20060817: THOMSONOO 1TW 7 200812288 The power signal of the wireless communication module 1001 is connected to the power control module 1002 and connected to the battery module 1003. The human interface part of the wireless communication module 1001 shares the input/output interface 1004 with the electronic device 10. When the user turns on the notebook computer 10, in addition to performing its own operation function, the system can perform a voice call or a data communication connection function via the wireless communication module 1001. At this time, the communication function is simultaneously performed on the wireless communication module 1001, and the benefit of the CPU of the notebook computer 10 is not affected. Thereafter, when the user turns off the notebook computer 10 (POWER OFF), the wireless communication module 1001 can be selected by the user to be turned on or off. When the user selects the wireless communication module 1001 to be in the power-on state, the wireless communication module 1001 automatically detects whether the power input is from the power control module 1002, such as the power supply under the power-on condition of the notebook computer 10. Otherwise, the wireless communication module 1001 can be directly taken from the power of the battery module 1003. In this case, the functional units activated by the notebook computer 10 are the wireless communication module 1001, the battery module 1003, and the input/output interface 1004. At this time, the battery module 1003 is only used by the wireless communication module 1001, and the input/output interface 1004 consumes power in addition to the wireless communication module 1001 when the call is made, and usually does not consume power. Thus, the wireless communication module 1001 can be in a standby state. At this time, the communication time of the overall system is about 15 to 20 times that of the battery module 1003 compared with the general mobile phone battery module. So Talk Time (TALKING TIME) can be tens of hours to several days. WAITING TIME can be from days to tens of days. When the notebook computer 10 is in the power-on state, the main processor of the system and the wireless communication module 1001 share the relevant input and output interfaces, such as an audio jack (Audio Jack), a microphone jack (Microphone Jack), a microphone (Microphone). ), Speaker, Bluetooth, Keyboard/Keypad. However, when the notebook 10 is in the POWER OFF or SUSPEND state, the associated input/output interface can be used by the wireless communication module 1001. 20060817: THOMSONOO 1TW 8 200812288 Compared with the prior art, according to the wireless communication system of the present invention, when the user is in the use of the electronic device 10 or the electronic device 10 is turned off (POWER OFF) or suspended (SUSPEND), the wireless communication module 1001 Both can be in normal use, while the traditional notebook (Notebook), ultra-mini mobile computer (UMPC) or mobile computing device, when the system is powered off (POWER OFF), the wireless communication function is limited by the main system shutdown It has its effect. The features and spirit of the present invention will be more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments. On the contrary, the intention is to cover various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the invention as claimed. Therefore, the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be construed broadly in the light of the above description so as to cover all possible modifications and equivalent arrangements. 20060817: THOMSONOO 1T W 9 200812288 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a wireless communication system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
