Patent ID: 8688875

Claim:
A host electronic device, comprising: a main operating circuit, having a processor; a first peripheral bus, arranged to be connected to the main operating circuit; an interface circuit, arranged to be coupled to a host computer, and receive an external command from the host computer by a transmission protocol compatible with a first interface; a second peripheral bus, arranged to be connected to the interface circuit; and a conversion device, arranged to be coupled between the first peripheral bus and the second peripheral bus, wherein the conversion device further comprises: an external virtual adapter, arranged to be connected to the second peripheral bus, and encode the external command to produce a first network packet; an internal virtual adapter, arranged to be connected to the first peripheral bus, and receive the first network packet; and a network channel, arranged to be coupled between the external virtual adapter and the internal virtual adapter, and transmit the first network packet from the external virtual adapter to the internal virtual adapter, wherein the internal virtual adapter is further arranged to decode the first network packet received from the network channel to produce a decoded external command, and the processor is arranged to execute the decoded external command for enabling the main operating circuit to execute a corresponding operation.
