Abstract

A peripheral connecting device of an electronic device. The peripheral connecting device includes a control device, a host connecting device and a plurality of peripheral connectors, including a display connector connected between a display device and the control device and a input device connector connected between a input device and the control device. The peripheral connecting device connects the input device and the display device with the electronic device to transmit information. The peripheral connecting device further performs network connection. With the peripheral connecting device, users can access a network. The peripheral connecting device is connected to a host through the network. The host performs the authentication of the electronic device.
