1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a device, and more particular, relates to an electronic device applied in integrated-service environment, and users having integrated services of Internet connection, portable power supply, and portable storage.
2. The Prior Arts
Generally, a user would choose a specific portable electronic device having particular function(s) according to his/her needs. For example, while a user has a demand of portable power supply, he/she must carry a portable power supply device, while a user has a demand of network sharing, he/she must carry a IP sharing device, and, while a user has a demand of portable storage, he/she must carry portable storage device, such as, portable hard drive or usb pen driver.
In other words, at the present time, as regards those electronic devices, a user can not find an electronic device which can provide integrated services of Internet connection, portable power supply, and portable storage. And the user must carry several different electronic devices to satisfy his/her demands according to individual different function(s) of individual devices. However, it is inconvenient for the user.
Therefore, there is a need to solve an issue that an electronic device is provided to users, and users can have integrated services of Internet connection, portable power supply, and portable storage without carrying individual different corresponding electronic devices to satisfy his/her demands.
Accordingly, it is a primary objective of the present invention to disclose an electronic device providing integrated services of Internet connection, portable power supply, and portable storage.
