Title: Method for writing digital contents to a plurality of storage cards and the system for the same

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to method for writing digital contents to a plurality of storage cards and the system for the same. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Due to the progress of computers and digital technologies, many contents of creations (such as movies, or music, etc.) are transferred into the compression files which are then burnt to CDs, DVDS, and other carriers to provide to consumers. Other than movies and music, the contents also include speeches, teachings, operas, etc. All these are called as digital contents. 
     Besides, other than CDs, DVDs, SD card storage devices are frequently used as A/V carriers. To have convenience in carrying, the contents of CD, DVDs are stored to SD storage cards to be played in MP3s. However this causes a waste in storage resources. 
     Since SD and other storage cards are convenient to users, and can be duplicated easily, it is beneficial to storage the contents initially into SD cards as the contents are markedly sold so as to prevent the usage of CDs and DVDs. Furthermore, the contents are encrypted and decrypted to prevent the danger of duplication of digital data. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The object of the present invention is to provide a method for writing digital contents to a plurality of storage cards by using a mina console according to the present invention comprises the following steps of: placing a storage card to a respective one of a plurality of card writing devices; writing digital contents to a storage card through a Hub by using a main console; a plurality of cards can be recorded by serially connection or parallel connection so as to increase the writing speed; and placing the storage cards into card readers; and whether the process of writing digital contents is successful being displayed. 
     The main console is connected to a plurality of storage cards in parallel or in serial through a Hub for downloading digital contents to the storage cards. The downloading of the main console is performed with an encryption operation. A TCP/IP communication protocol is used in network connection. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for writing digital contents to storage cards comprising: a main console; a hub; a computer integration and reading system connected to the hub; a card writing assembly including a card writing device and a probe; one end of the probe being connected to the storage card in the card writing device; and another end of the probe being connected to a port of the main console; a card reader connected to the Hub; the storage card  313  can be inserted into the card reader and is connected to a joint of the port of the main console; the storage card being also coupled to the computer integration and reading process in the main console for testing. 
     The port is an RS232 port. The card reader is connected to the hub in parallel. The card reader is connected to the hub in serial. In serial connection, a transmission structure is used and a servomotor is connected to the transmission structure. In serial connection, a transmission structure is used and a stepping motor is connected to the transmission structure. The main console is connected to a SD card transmission device through an RS422 port. 
     The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims. 
     The method for writing digital contents to a plurality of storage cards by using a main console according to the present invention comprises the following steps of: 
     A. Placing a storage card to a respective one of a plurality of card writing device. 
     Practically, 32 pieces of SD cards are placed into card slots. Then a 9 pin probe is driven to contact with a respective SD card on a fixture of the card writing device. Each 9 pin probe is connected to a joint of a 9 pin joint. 
     B. Writing digital contents to a storage card through a Hub by using a main console. A plurality of cards can be written by serially connection or parallel connection so as to increase the writing speed. Meanwhile the contents can be encrypted by using a HSM (Host Security Module). The network connection is by using TCP/IP communication protocol. For the parallel connection, a plurality of card readers are connected to the Hub  2  (referring to  FIG. 2 ). The card readers  32  read the digital contents from the main console through the Hub  2 . For serial connection, only one card reader  32 A is serially connected to the Hub  2 A. The card reader  32 A receives the digital contents from the main console through the Hub  2 A. 
     C. Placing the storage card into the card reader and performing PC Perso process. Furthermore, whether the process of writing digital contents is successful is displayed. 
     Practically, each 9 pin RS232 is connected to a SD card. 32 pieces of SD cards are placed into 32 SD card readers to perform PC Perso process. Whether the Perso is successful is displayed. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the system of the present invention is illustrated. 
     The system for writing digital contents to storage cards based on the present invention has the following elements. 
     A main console  1  is included. 
     A hub  2  is also included; 
     A computer integration and reading system (such as a Perso system)  3  is connected to the Hub; 
     A card writing assembly  31  includes a card writing device  311  and a probe  312 . One end of the probe  312  is formed with a state to be connected to the storage card  313  in the card writing device  311 . One end of the Perso  3  is connected to the transformation port  314  of the computer  1  through a RS232 port  42 . 
     A card reader  32  is connected to the Hub  2  in parallel or serially (in  FIG. 2 , a parallel connection example is illustrated). The storage card  313  can be inserted into the card reader and is connected to a joint of the port  314 . The storage card  313  is also coupled to the Perso software  11  in the main console  1  for testing. 
     With referring to  FIG. 3 , the quantification making system in another embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. A card writing device  21  is connected to a transmission system. A servomotor  41  or a step motor  41 A is connected to the transmission system so as to form with a serial auto-transmission structure. The main console  1 A is connected to the transmission device  4  by using RS232 port or other port. A card reader  32 A is connected to a Hub  2 A. The Hub  2 A is connected to the main console  1 A by a transmission line with one end being a port  31  of RS 232 and another port thereof is a port  314  as illustrated in  FIG. 3 . By the structure of this the present invention, 32 SD card can download data simultaneously. The average moving speed of the SD card is 5 m/sec. with a precision of ±0.2 mm. 
     The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
