Multi-slave interface card reader

Abstract

A multi-slave interface card reader includes a card reader body having a USB signal interface plug and a 3C memory card interface receptacle installed on one side of the body being vertical to the USB signal interface plug for placing a memory card, e.g. Mini-SD, RS-MMC, Micro-SD, or Micro-MMC. Since the card reader body has the memory card installed therein, it is possible to place the card reader body in devices like cameras, MP3's, mobile phones . . . and so forth, to act as a memory. The USB signal interface plug can be directly connected to a computer host, or the card reader body can be connected to another card reader for transferring the data stored in the memory card to the computer through the card reader. Such a device of single body with multiple interfaces allows users to employ across various platforms, meanwhile also provides cost down benefits for manufacturers.
