Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a magnetically attracted storage device. [Background technology]

[0002] With the development of mobile device technology, mobile devices are not only used as tools for calling and texting, but also as portable entertainment devices, office devices, cameras, etc. However, the number of applications, high-resolution photos and videos has also increased, making the storage capacity of mobile devices somewhat expansive. In response to this demand, more and more users are turning to external storage devices to meet the expanding needs of data collection and use.

[0003] The space occupied by the systems and applications contained in mobile devices is constantly increasing. System updates for mobile devices often take up a significant amount of storage space, and various applications are also becoming more sophisticated by providing more features and better user experience. For example, gaming applications require more storage space as their graphics and sound effects are more sophisticated. In addition, users usually store a large amount of music, videos, documents, etc., which quickly leads to a shortage of internal storage space.

[0004] Meanwhile, with the improvement of the photographing function of mobile devices, the frequency with which users take photos and record videos is gradually increasing. Although high-pixel photos and high-resolution videos provide a better visual experience, they also occupy a large amount of storage space. Many people may habitually store a large amount of photos and videos, which creates a big challenge for the storage capacity of mobile devices.

[0005] To solve this problem, external storage devices have become the first choice for many mobile device users. There are many types of external storage devices, including flash drives, external hard drives, large capacity SD memory cards, etc. External storage devices provide additional storage space, allowing users to expand the capacity of their mobile devices at any time.

[0006] However, according to the prior art, when not in use, the external storage device needs to be stored in another storage space such as a backpack or a pocket, which increases the hassle of use. When using the mobile device, such as taking photos or videos, the external storage device according to the prior art cannot be fixed. Data on the mobile device can only be connected and saved when the mobile device is stationary, which causes the hassle of use.

[0007] To solve the above problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a magnetic attraction type storage device, which uses a magnetic element to attract the whole magnetic device to a mobile device, so that the storage device can move with the mobile device and store the data of the mobile device at any time.

The first connection port 35 passes through the first through hole 12, and an external circuit can be connected to the first connection port 35 through the first through hole 12. The second connection port 36 is adjacent to the first connection port 35 and disposed on the outer edge of the substrate 31. The second connection port 36 is electrically connected to the second control device 34.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, and FIG. 3, according to this embodiment, during the placement of the magnetically attracted storage device 1, the first magnetic element 20 is attracted to and separated from the mobile device 2 by the first housing 10. As a result, the first housing 10 is sandwiched between the first magnetic element 20 and the mobile device 2, and the magnetically attracted storage device 1 is magnetically fixed to the mobile device 2. After the magnetically attracted storage device 1 is placed, the first control device 33 transmits the storage signal 321 of the storage device 32 to the mobile device 2 through the first connection port 35, and receives the first electric energy from the mobile device 2, or stores the storage signal 321 of the mobile device 2 in the storage device 32. The electric energy required for the magnetically attracted storage device 1 is provided by the mobile device 2. The second control device 34 receives the second electric energy through the second connection port 36. Furthermore, the second control device 34 transmits the second electric energy to the first connection port 35. Then, the second control device 34 transmits the second electrical energy to the mobile device 2 via the first connection port 35 for charging.
