Abstract:
1. A memory card, comprising: a connector unit comprising a plurality of connector pins; an external switch configured to generate a mode switching signal; a mode switch configured to selectively couple at least one connector pin of the plurality of connector pins to a memory card path or to a wired universal serial bus (USB) path in response to the mode switching signal; a processing unit comprising a memory card interface unit coupled to the memory card path and a wired USB interface unit coupled to the wired USB path, and configured to selectively operate the memory card interface unit or the wired USB interface unit in response to the mode switching signal; and at least one memory configured to store data received through the connector unit; wherein the processing unit is operable to perform a cable association for a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) communication with a WUSB host by operating the wired USB interface unit while the memory card is attached to the WUSB host; wherein the processing unit is operable to perform the WUSB communication to transfer the data stored in the at least one memory to the WUSB host while the memory card is attached to a computing device.
