Abstract

The invention provides a computer docking station and a switching working method thereof; the switching working method comprises the following steps: monitoring whether a wired input module is connected with a computer host machine and outputting the monitoring result; controlling a first data processing module to be connected with the wired input module when the wired input module is connected with the computer host machine, which is indicated by the monitoring result; and controlling the first data processing module to be connected with the wireless input module when the wired input module is not connected with the computer host machine, which is indicated by the monitoring result. According to the invention, the computer host machine is provided with expansion interfaces by a wireless way and a wired way.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transmission control between peripheral devices and computers in the field of computers, and in particular to a computer docking station and a switching working method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, a computer docking station (Docking Station) has become a very important peripheral device of a computer system, especially a portable computer system. Such as figure 1 As shown, the docking station 12 communicates with the portable computer via a Universal Serial Bus (USB, Universal Serial Bus) cable or a wireless USB (WUSB, Wireless USB) mode or other interface or wireless protocol (such as an ultra-wideband universal radio platform (WiNet), etc.) 11 connections can regenerate all input / output (I / O, Input / Output) ports on the entire computer, that is, external device interfaces, such as serial ports, parallel ports, Ethernet ports, video interfaces, microphone / speaker interfaces, etc. f...
