無線收納裝置及無線傳輸系統Wireless storage device and wireless transmission system

本發明關於一種收納裝置，尤指一種無線收納裝置及無線傳輸系統。The present invention relates to a storage device, in particular to a wireless storage device and a wireless transmission system.

目前市面上所販售的一種可攜式電子裝置(例如，藍牙耳機)，為了方便攜帶及保管，通常會收納在一收納盒中。例如入耳式無線耳機及收納盒。透過將該入耳式無線耳機收納在該收納盒中，以透過該收納盒對該入耳式無線耳機進行充電。A portable electronic device currently sold on the market (e.g., a Bluetooth headset) is usually stored in a storage box for easy carrying and storage. For example, an in-ear wireless headset and a storage box. By storing the in-ear wireless headset in the storage box, the in-ear wireless headset can be charged through the storage box.

當使用者將該可攜式電子裝置配戴在身上(例如，耳朵)，且同時需要與一電腦設備配合使用(例如，遊戲主機、筆電、桌機、非智慧型手機及穿戴裝置)，例如接收該電腦設備所播放的聲音時，需要額外準備一無線收發器(例如，具USB連接介面的藍牙收發器等)，並將該無線收發器插設在該電腦設備。該電腦設備透過該無線收發器將即時資訊(例如，多媒體資訊)發送至使用者配戴的一可攜式電子裝置，使得該電腦設備上的即時資訊能同時在使用者配戴的可攜式電子裝置上播放。When the user wears the portable electronic device on the body (e.g., ear) and needs to use it with a computer device (e.g., game console, laptop, desktop, non-smart phone and wearable device) at the same time, for example, to receive the sound played by the computer device, an additional wireless transceiver (e.g., Bluetooth transceiver with USB connection interface, etc.) needs to be prepared and inserted into the computer device. The computer device sends real-time information (e.g., multimedia information) to a portable electronic device worn by the user through the wireless transceiver, so that the real-time information on the computer device can be played on the portable electronic device worn by the user at the same time.

然而，現有技術對於使用者而言，由於需要攜帶多數產品及配件，常造成麻煩與困擾，尤其是配件體積小、容易遺失或遺漏，對於使用者而言較不方便。因此，如何能夠提升使用者的方便性、減少使用上的麻煩，確實有待提出更佳解決方案的必要性。However, the existing technology often causes trouble and annoyance to users because they need to carry many products and accessories, especially because the accessories are small in size and easy to lose or miss, which is inconvenient for users. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a better solution to improve user convenience and reduce the trouble in use.

有鑒於上述現有技術所存在的問題，本發明的至少一目的是提供一種無線收納裝置及無線傳輸系統。使用者透過將無線收納裝置分別與設備及可攜式電子裝置連接，使無線收納裝置作為二者之間進行訊號傳輸的媒介，而可不用攜帶額外的無線收發器。由於可以減少攜帶產品及配件的數量，亦可改善無線收發器因收納不易而造成遺失、遺漏的問題。藉此提升使用者的使用便利性兼具使用體驗的目的。In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, at least one purpose of the present invention is to provide a wireless storage device and a wireless transmission system. Users can connect the wireless storage device to the equipment and the portable electronic device respectively, so that the wireless storage device can be used as a medium for signal transmission between the two, and there is no need to carry an additional wireless transceiver. Since the number of products and accessories carried can be reduced, the problem of loss or omission of the wireless transceiver due to the difficulty of storage can also be improved. This improves the user's convenience and user experience.

為了達成上述目的所採取的一技術手段，是令前述無線收納裝置，用於收納一可攜式電子裝置以及與一電子設備連接。該無線收納裝置包括：一USB接口，用於連接該電子設備，以接收一電源訊號及一音訊資訊；一電源模組，連接該USB接口，該電源模組根據該電源訊號進行充電；一音訊處理模組，連接該USB接口，以接收該音訊資訊，並對應產生一驅動訊號；一無線傳輸模組，連接該音訊處理模組，並根據該驅動訊號，將該音訊資訊傳輸至該可攜式電子裝置。A technical means adopted to achieve the above purpose is to use the aforementioned wireless storage device to store a portable electronic device and connect to an electronic device. The wireless storage device includes: a USB interface, used to connect to the electronic device to receive a power signal and an audio information; a power module, connected to the USB interface, the power module is charged according to the power signal; an audio processing module, connected to the USB interface, to receive the audio information and generate a drive signal accordingly; a wireless transmission module, connected to the audio processing module, and transmits the audio information to the portable electronic device according to the drive signal.

為了達成上述目的所採取的另一技術手段，是令前述無線傳輸系統，用於連接一電子設備，該無線傳輸系統包括：一如上述的無線收納裝置；一可攜式電子裝置，接收該無線收納裝置發送的一無線音訊資訊。Another technical means adopted to achieve the above purpose is to use the aforementioned wireless transmission system to connect an electronic device, the wireless transmission system comprising: a wireless storage device as described above; a portable electronic device that receives a wireless audio message sent by the wireless storage device.
