Embodiment Construction

[0027] Hereinafter, the signal adapter 10 as an embodiment of the present invention will be described. This signal adapter 10 is an adapter that intervenes between a portable audio device and an external device to enable transmission and reception of various signals between the two.

[0028] First, a portable audio device to which the signal adapter 10 of the present embodiment is connected will be described. In this embodiment, Apple's ipod-shuffle 50 (registered trademark) is used as a connection target. figure 1 It is a six-sided diagram of the ipod-shuffle50 (here, the left side diagram is omitted).

[0029] As we all know, ipod-shuffle50 is a small portable digital audio player with built-in power supply. On the front surface of the main body 51 of the ipod-shuffle 50, a control switch 52 for receiving operation instructions from the user is provided. The user operates the ipod-shuffle 50 by pressing the control switch 52 with a finger or the like. Also, a main power...

Abstract

A signaling adaptor and a signaling adaptor device which can connect a portable electronic equipment with a common use terminal interface and an outer equipment more simply. The signaling adaptor has a first terminal which connects with the common use terminal interface disposed on the portable electronic equipment and a second terminal which connects with a connection terminal disposed on the outer equipment. A judging electrode and a signal receiving electrode are disposed on the first terminal for receiving judging signals representing terminal category. A judging electrode, a USB common signal electrode and an acoustic signal electrode are disposed on the second terminal. In addition, the first, second and third switches are switched according to the signal category selected by the user, thereby the signal route is switched and the availability / unavailability of the electrode is judged.

Description

[0001] technology area [0002] The invention relates to a signal adapter which is connected between a portable electronic device and an external device, and relays the transmission and reception of signals between the two. Background technique [0003] Portable electronic devices such as portable audio players are not only used alone, but are often used in connection with other external devices through signal lines. For example, a portable audio player is sometimes used in connection with other audio playback devices (for example, the sound conversion performance device described in Patent Document 1) for playback of audio, or connected with a charger for charging. Therefore, a plurality of terminal ports for connecting various signal lines are usually provided on the portable electronic device. However, providing multiple terminal ports hinders the miniaturization of portable electronic devices. [0004] In response to this, it has been proposed to provide a terminal port...
