[0039] The multimedia interactive all-in-one machine / touch all-in-one machine is an electronic device that integrates whiteboard writing, wireless screen projection, and audio and video, and supports Android and Windows dual systems. Its hardware components mainly include display screen, power board, touch motherboard, OPS computer, touch module, front button, front interface, speaker, wireless network module, and microphone camera module.

[0040] In the related art, the way for such devices to realize the wireless network function is to act independently, that is, the Android end uses a wireless network module, the OPS end uses a wireless network module, and the external computer uses a wireless network module, such as Figure 1 As shown, however, this type of device only supports one of the systems to run and uses the wireless network module at the same time, so this design method causes a waste of resources and an increase in design costs.

[0041] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application propose a wireless network gating module and an electronic device, which overcomes the problem in the related art that electronic devices supporting multiple systems need to be configured with multiple wireless network modules, resulting in waste of resources and increased design costs. By adding the wireless network gating module provided by the embodiments of the present application to the electronic device, the multiple wireless network modules in the electronic device can be reduced to a single wireless network module, and it can still ensure that the currently running system can use the wireless network function normally, avoiding the waste of resources caused by configuring multiple wireless network modules and significantly reducing the design cost.

[0042] The wireless network gating module and the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are specifically described through the following embodiments, and the wireless network gating module is first described.

[0043] The present application embodiment provides a wireless network gating module, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2A schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless network gating module provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the wireless network gating module is respectively connected to a wireless network module, a built-in computer, an external computer and a touch control motherboard, and is used to select one of the built-in computer, the external computer and the touch control motherboard to be connected to the wireless network module, and the wireless network gating module includes:

[0044] A switching unit 10, wherein the switching unit 10 is respectively connected to the wireless network module, the built-in computer, the external computer and the touch control mainboard;

[0045] A control unit 20, wherein the control unit 20 is connected to the switching unit 10, and the control unit 20 is used to send a selection control signal to the switching unit 10, so that the switching unit 10 connects the wireless network module and the built-in computer, or connects the wireless network module and the external computer, or connects the wireless network module and the touch control mainboard according to the selection control signal.

[0046] In this embodiment, an electronic device containing multiple systems only needs to be configured with a single wireless network module, and then by adding the wireless network gating module provided by this embodiment between the single wireless network module and each system operating platform, namely the built-in computer, the external computer and the touch control mainboard, the cost of adding the wireless network gating module is much lower than adding multiple wireless network modules that are consistent with the number of operating systems, and the wireless network gating module can ensure that the wireless network module is continuously in a working state (connected to one of the built-in computer, the wireless network module, and the external computer) when the electronic device is operating normally, and there will be no situation where the wireless network module is idle and resources are wasted.

[0047] In this embodiment, the enable control signal can be determined based on the level signal from the control unit 20, with 1 representing a high level and 0 representing a low level. As an example, when the switching unit 10 receives 00, the enable control signal is considered to be the enable touch mainboard; when the switching unit 10 receives 01, the enable control signal is considered to be the enable external computer; when the switching unit 10 receives 10, the enable control signal is considered to be the enable OPS; in addition, the enable control signal can also be determined based on other signals from the control unit 20. The above example using the level signal as an example is only an implementation method for facilitating a quick understanding of the present embodiment, and does not mean that the present embodiment can only implement the enable control based on the above method.
