AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, in order to meet the needs of the controller of electronic devices for multiple interface signal groups, multiple different types of interfaces need to be set on the surface of the electronic devices, resulting in excessive space resource occupation.
The system employs a combination of a selection module and a signal conversion module. The selection module is used to select one of the controller and the signal conversion module to connect to the interface. When connected, the signal conversion module converts the interface signal group into a signal group suitable for the controller, enabling interaction between multiple interface signal groups and reducing the number of interfaces.
By enabling the interaction of multiple interface signal groups through a single interface, the number of interfaces on the surface of electronic devices is reduced, saving space resources.
