Patent ID: 8195861

Claim:
A hub apparatus, suitable for linking with at least one host apparatus without the OTG function and one peripheral apparatus, comprising: an OTG (on-the-go) control module, having a buffer; at least one USB port, coupled to the OTG control module; and a linking module, coupled to the OTG control module for linking with the host apparatus via a data transmission interface, and further comprising: a non-USB connector for connecting with the peripheral apparatus via the data transmission interface; a controller, coupled to the non-USB connector for capturing the data from the peripheral apparatus via the non-USB connector and the data transmission interface; and a USB connector, coupled to the controller and the OTG control module, so as to transmit the captured data to the OTG control module; wherein the OTG control module captures a data from the peripheral apparatus via the USB port and saves the captured data into the buffer, so as to move the data saved in the buffer to the host apparatus via the data transmission for responding a data capturing requirement from the host apparatus.
