[0069] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a Nano-SIM card 100 in the related art. Figure 1 As shown, the Nano-SIM card 100 may include a ground pin, a power pin, a programming voltage pin, a data pin, a reset pin and a clock pin, which may be arranged in two rows and three columns, and when the Nano-SIM card 100 is assembled into an electronic device, it is connected to the contact on the Nano-SIM card holder to realize the call function of the electronic device. The size of the Nano-SIM card 100 may be 12.3 mm×8.8 mm×0.7 mm.

[0070] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of a memory card 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown, the memory card 200 can be adapted to the Nano-SIM card holder of the electronic device, and can be connected to the contacts in the Nano-SIM card holder, so that the electronic device can store picture information, video information, audio information, text information, etc. in the memory card 200, and can also obtain picture information, video information, audio information, text information, etc. from the memory card 200. Among them, the memory card 200 can be adapted to the Nano-SIM card holder, that is, the appearance structure and size of the memory card 200 are consistent with the appearance structure and size of the Nano-SIM card, but the contact pins of the memory card 200 are different from the contact pins of the Nano-SIM card. Based on this, for the same Nano-SIM card holder in the electronic device, it can be used to accommodate both the Nano-SIM card and the memory card provided in the present disclosure, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the Nano-SIM card holder in the electronic device, especially when the electronic device has multiple Nano-SIM card holders, it is conducive to reducing the probability of the Nano-SIM card holder being vacant.

[0071] The difference between the contact pins of the memory card 200 and the contact pins of the Nano-SIM card can be understood as: the number of the contact pins of the memory card 200 is different from the number of the contact pins of the Nano-SIM card; the arrangement of the contact pins of the memory card 200 is different from the arrangement of the contact pins of the Nano-SIM card; or the function of any one or more of the contact pins of the memory card 200 is different from the function of the contact pins of the Nano-SIM card, and the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the memory card 200 can communicate based on any interface protocol of Universal Serial Bus (USB), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Flash Storage (UFS), Multimedia Card (MMC), Embedded Multimedia Card (EMMC), Secure Digital Memory Card (SD).

[0072] The present disclosure may be described in detail below with respect to a memory card 200 that communicates based on a universal flash storage interface protocol.

[0073] Still Figure 2As shown, the memory card 200 may include a plurality of contact pins, which may include a data signal pin 1, a ground signal pin 2, and other function pins 3, which may include a clock signal pin, a detection pin, and a power pin. Figure 2 As shown, in order to adapt to the shape, specification and size of the Nano-SIM card and simplify processing, the multiple contact pins included in the memory card 200 can also be arranged into two rows and multiple columns, and each row of contact pins includes at least one ground signal pin, and a data signal pin 1 is set on one side of a ground signal pin in the row, and other function pins 3 included in the contact pins of this row are set on the other side.

[0074] For example Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Taking the row of contact pins located at the top as an example, the ground signal pin is located in the middle, the data signal pin is arranged on the left side thereof, and other functional pins are arranged on the right side thereof, for example, two power supply pins may be arranged; Figure 2 Taking a row of contact pins at the bottom as an example, the ground signal pin is located in the middle, the data signal pin is arranged on the left side thereof, and other functional pins are arranged on the right side thereof, such as a detection pin and a clock pin.

[0075] In the above embodiments, the data signal pin 1 may include a data output pin and a data input pin, and a single data output pin and a single data input pin may be arranged in the same column. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the data output pin DOU_T ​​and the data input pin DIN_T are arranged in the same column, and the data output pin DOU_C and the data input pin DIN_C are arranged in the same column. Based on the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the plurality of contact pins included in the memory card 200 for communicating with the universal flash memory storage interface protocol may be ten or twelve, or may be other numbers, and two of them will be exemplified below.

[0076] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the memory card 200 may include ten contact pins, and the ten contact pins may include four data signal pins, two ground signal pins, and four other function signal pins. The ten contact pins are arranged in two rows and five columns, and the ground signal pin in each row of contact pins is located in the middle. That is, the ground signal pin is located in the third column, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the data signal pins can be set on the left side and other function pins can be set on the right side.

[0077] It should be noted that if Figure 3As shown, the ground signal pin in each row of contact pins is located in the middle, and the data signal pin can be set on the right side of the ground signal pin, and other functional pins can be set on the left side. In other embodiments, the data signal pin located on the right side of the ground signal pin can be interchanged if a single data input pin and a single data output pin are located in the same column, for example Figure 3 In the data input pin DIN_C and the data output pin DOU_C are set close to the ground signal pin, and in Figure 4 The data input pin DIN_T and the data output pin DOU_T ​​are set close to the ground signal pin, except for Figure 3 , Figure 4 In addition to swapping the left and right positions, the upper and lower positions can also be swapped, and the data input pin DIN_C can also be located in the same column as the data output pin DOU_T. Since there are a total of 8 arrangements, they will not be listed here one by one.

[0078] For other functional pins located on the same side of the ground signal pin, such as Figure 4 The positions of the clock signal pin CLK, power pin VCC, power pin VCCQ2 and detection pin C / D located on the left side of the ground signal pin, and the four other function pins can be interchanged, so that there can be 24 arrangements. Therefore, based on the 8 arrangements of the data signal pins, the 24 arrangements of the other function pins, and the 2 arrangements of the positions of the other function pins and the data signal pins relative to the ground signal pin, the memory card with ten contact pins provided in the present disclosure has a total of 2×8×24=384 possibilities, all of which belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure and are not listed here one by one. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the contact pins in one of the odd-numbered columns of multiple columns of contact pins is greater than the width of the contact pins in other columns. For example, Figure 4 The width of the contact pins in the fifth column is greater than the width of the contact pins in other columns. Figure 5 The width of the contact pins in the third column is greater than the width of the contact pins in other columns. Figure 6 The width of the contact pins in the first column is greater than the width of the contact pins in other columns. Figure 1 and Figure 4-Figure 6 It can be seen that when the contact pins in an odd number row are wider, it can be based on Figure 1 In order to meet the requirements of the size of the Nano-SIM card in the present disclosure, any four contact pins of the Nano-SIM card are divided into eight contact pins, and then the eight contact pins are configured as the contact pins of the memory card 200 in the present disclosure, thereby avoiding the need to completely redesign the antenna size of the memory card 200 in the present disclosure, and the existing partial design size can be used, which is conducive to reducing production costs. Figure 5 and Figure 6The embodiments shown have 384 implementations by interchanging the positions of the contact pins, which are not listed here one by one.

[0079] In another embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the memory card 200 may include twelve contact pins, the twelve contact pins may include four data signal pins, four ground signal pins and four other function pins, the twelve contact pins are arranged into two rows and six columns, and the contact pins in each row may include two ground signal pins, one of the ground signal pins is located at the outermost edge of the contact pins in the row, and the other ground signal pin is located in the middle of the contact pins in the row.

[0080] For example, still Figure 7 As shown, a row of ground signal pins GND is located Figure 7 At the right edge of the memory card 200, a column of ground signal pins is located in the third column from left to right, while other function signal pins are located in the first and second columns from left to right, and data signal pins are located in the fourth and fifth columns from left to right. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the positions of other functional pins can be interchanged, similarly the four data signal pins can also be interchanged, and the ground signal pins in the third and sixth columns can also be interchanged, resulting in 2×24×8×24=9216 implementations, which are not listed here one by one.

[0081] In the above embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the memory card 200 may also include a notch 4, which may be located at any corner of the square memory card 200. The notch 4 may be used to identify the assembly orientation of the memory card 200, so as to facilitate the user to install the memory card 200. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the widths of the contact pins located in the same column are the same, which can improve the aesthetics of the memory card on the one hand, and simplify the production process on the other hand. With respect to the memory card 200, the present disclosure does not limit the position of each contact pin on the card body of the memory card, and does not limit the length and height of each contact pin. The present disclosure does not limit the shape of the contact pins of the memory card 200, which may be a regular rectangle or an irregular shape. The distance between the sides of each contact pin and the sides of the memory card is not limited; the specific height and length of the memory card are not limited.

[0082] The present disclosure also provides a Figure 8The electronic device 300 shown in the figure may include a Nano-SIM card holder 301 and a plurality of contacts (not shown in the figure). The Nano-SIM card holder 301 may be plugged with the memory card 200 described in any of the above embodiments, or the Nano-SIM card holder 301 may also be plugged with the Nano-SIM card in an empty state. The plurality of contacts are exposed on the surface of the Nano-SIM card holder 301, and are used to conduct with the memory card 200 plugged in the Nano-SIM card holder 301, or to conduct with the Nano-SIM card plugged in the Nano-SIM card holder 301. The electronic device 300 may also include a plurality of Nano-SIM card holders 301, one of which may be used to plug in a Nano-SIM card, and one of which may be used to plug in a memory card 200, thereby achieving compatibility with two different types of memory cards. The electronic device 300 may include various handheld devices with communication functions, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, home smart devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem.

[0083] Since the memory card 200 and the Nano-SIM card can be inserted into the same Nano-SIM card holder 301 of the electronic device 300, the present disclosure also provides a method for determining the conduction mode, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the determination method is applied in a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0084] In step 901, it is determined that the card to be detected is inserted into the Nano-SIM card socket of the electronic device.

[0085] In this embodiment, after detecting that the Nano-SIM card holder is pushed into the electronic device, it can be determined that the card to be detected is placed in the Nano-SIM card holder; or, when it is detected that the Nano-SIM card holder is pushed into the electronic device and the contacts exposed on the surface of the Nano-SIM card holder are turned on, it can be determined that the card to be detected is placed in the Nano-SIM card holder, or whether the card to be detected is placed in the Nano-SIM card holder can be determined by other methods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] In step 902, the type of the card to be detected inserted into the Nano-SIM card holder is identified.

[0087] In this embodiment, the conduction mode of the electronic device can be determined by identifying the type of the card to be detected. Specifically:

[0088] In one embodiment, the card to be detected may include a memory card 200 or a Nano-SIM card, the memory card 200 may include a detection pin, while the Nano-SIM card does not include a detection pin, and it may be determined whether the contact corresponding to the detection pin in the Nano-SIM card holder is conductive. If the contact corresponding to the detection pin is conductive, the type of the card to be detected may be determined as a memory card, and if the contact corresponding to the detection pin is not conductive, the type of the card to be detected may be determined as a Nano-SIM card. Wherein, it may be determined whether the contact corresponding to the detection pin is conductive by determining whether the point position of the contact corresponding to the detection pin is pulled up or pulled down.

[0089] For example, the internal circuit design in the electronic device can make the contact corresponding to the detection pin show a low level when it is vacant, and the contact also shows a low level when it is connected to the non-detection pin, and the potential can be pulled up to a high level when the contact is connected to the detection pin, based on which the electronic device can determine the type of the card to be detected. Of course, in other embodiments, the contact of the detection pin can also show a high level when it is vacant, and the contact also shows a high level when it is connected to the non-detection pin, and the potential can be pulled down to a low level when the contact is connected to the detection pin, and the present disclosure is not limited.

[0090] In another embodiment, after the electronic device determines that a card to be detected is inserted into the Nano-SIM card holder, it can start to obtain the identification information of the memory card described in any of the above embodiments by default. If the identification information can be obtained, the card to be detected is determined to be a memory card, otherwise it is a Nano-SIM card; similarly, after the electronic device determines that a card to be detected is inserted into the Nano-SIM card holder, it can start to obtain the identification information of the Nano-SIM card described in any of the above embodiments by default. If the identification information can be obtained, the card to be detected is determined to be a Nano-SIM card, otherwise it is a memory card. Among them, the identification information of the memory card can be information that distinguishes the memory card from the Nano-SIM card, and the representation information of the Nano-SIM card can be information that distinguishes the Nano-SIM card from the memory card.

[0091] In step 903, the conduction mode of the electronic device is determined according to the type of the card to be detected, and the conduction mode includes a storage mode and a communication mode.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the card to be detected is a memory card, the conduction mode of the electronic device 300 can be determined to be the storage mode; when the card to be detected is a Nano-SIM card, the conduction mode of the electronic device 300 can be determined to be the communication mode.
