本創作係關於一種連接介面切換裝置,更特別是關於一種如可攜式電子裝置或筆記型電腦裝置等之多電腦裝置使用的連接介面切換裝置。 The present invention relates to a connection interface switching device, and more particularly to a connection interface switching device for a multi-computer device such as a portable electronic device or a notebook computer device.

傳統上,為能夠有效管理多部的個人電腦,通常採用一種切換器來連接單一組的輸入/輸出(Input/Output)裝置,以使該等個人電腦可共用一組鍵盤、滑鼠及顯示器。習知切換器的一端係具有各種對應之連接埠(例如多組的鍵盤/滑鼠連接埠及多組的視訊輸入連接埠)以同時連接至多台以上之個人電腦;以及,習知切換器的另一端則具有輸出/輸入(Input/Output)連接埠以連接至一組電腦周邊裝置,例如前述之鍵盤、滑鼠及顯示器。藉由上述的切換器,可讓使用者藉由切換器來選擇其中一台個人電腦,並透過該電腦周邊裝置來對該個人電腦進行控制。 Traditionally, in order to effectively manage multiple personal computers, a switcher is typically used to connect a single set of input/output devices so that the personal computers can share a set of keyboards, mice, and displays. One end of the conventional switch has various corresponding ports (such as multiple sets of keyboard/mouse ports and multiple sets of video input ports) to simultaneously connect to more than one personal computer; and, conventional switchers The other end has an Input/Output port to connect to a set of computer peripherals, such as the aforementioned keyboard, mouse, and display. With the above switch, the user can select one of the personal computers through the switch, and control the personal computer through the peripheral device of the computer.

然而,習知的切換器與個人電腦的連接由於是透過對應至個人電腦的每一連接埠,例如個人電腦的視訊輸出就連接至該切換器的視訊輸入埠、個人電腦的鍵盤滑鼠埠就連接至該切換器的鍵盤滑鼠連接埠,此種所有連接埠一對一的連接方式係採用了大量的連接線材,不但提高建置成本更不易於整理。 However, the connection between the conventional switch and the personal computer is connected to the video input of the switch through the connection corresponding to the personal computer, for example, the video output of the personal computer, and the keyboard of the personal computer.
