Abstract

A wireless communication apparatus with built-in terminal hub for transmitting a wireless signal includes a PCB, built-in antenna module and input terminal hub. The built-in antenna module disposed on the PCB transmits the wireless signal and the input terminal hub coupled with the PCB connects the computer. It avoids bringing the surrounding electromagnetic interference (EMI) and disorder. Besides, the built-in antenna module makes the whole size smaller and easy to carry. The wireless communication apparatus further provides an extended output terminal hub for connecting other peripheral device.

Claims (36)

1. In combination:

(a) a computer including a computer terminal hub and lacking any wireless communications capability;

(b) a wireless computer-control device; and

(c) a wireless communication apparatus, connecting with the computer in a direct manner and communicating with the wireless computer-control device by radio; the wireless communication apparatus further comprising:

a casing;

a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) contained inside the casing;

a built-in antenna module disposed on the PCB for transmitting the wireless signal to the wireless computer-control device;

a first terminal hub on the casing coupled with the PCB inside the casing and connected to the computer terminal hub in a direct manner, whereby the computer communicates with the PCB; and

a second terminal hub on the casing coupled with the PCB inside the casing, whereby another peripheral device mated to the second terminal hub is operatively communicated with the computer terminal hub;

whereby, a single terminal hub of the computer communicates with both wired and wireless peripheral devices.

2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless computer-control device is a cordless mouse or a wireless keyboard.

3. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal hub is a USB (Universal Series Bus) terminal hub or a PS 2 terminal hub.

4. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the second terminal hub is a USB (Universal Series Bus) terminal hub or a PS 2 terminal hub.

5. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the wireless communication apparatus is a one-way signal transmission.

6. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the wireless communication apparatus is a two-way signal transmission.

7. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a one-way 2.4 GHz multiple-channel FM/FSK receiver.

8. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a regenerative low power-consumption one-way receiver.

9. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a two-way 900 MHz/2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver.

10. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , further including a Bluetooth solution.

11. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the built-in antenna module is a phase matrix antenna module.

12. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the phase matrix antenna module comprises an aluminum foil of a baseboard.

13. A wireless communication apparatus for a computer lacking any wireless communications capability, the apparatus comprising:

a casing;

a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) inside the casing;

an input terminal hub, on the casing, coupled with the PCB;

an output terminal hub, on the casing, operatively connected to the input terminal hub; and

a built-in antenna module disposed on the PCB for transmitting and/or receiving wireless data to and/or from the input terminal hub from and/or to a wireless control device;

whereby, a single terminal hub of the computer communicates with both wired and wireless peripheral devices.

14. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the wireless control device is a cordless mouse or a wireless keyboard.

15. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the transmission of the wireless communication apparatus is a one-way signal transmission or a two-way signal transmission.

16. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a one-way 2.4 GHz multiple-channel FM/FSK receiver.

17. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a regenerative low power-consumption one-way receiver.

18. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the wireless communication apparatus is a two-way 900 MHz/2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver.

19. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 15 , furthering including a Bluetooth solution.

20. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the built-in antenna module is a phase matrix antenna module.

21. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 20 , wherein the phase matrix antenna module comprises an aluminum foil of a baseboard.
