The present disclosure provides a method for securely updating firmware components, which is used in connection with an electronic device including a universal serial bus human interface device interface. The method includes: downloading a deformed patch executable file by the electronic device, wherein the deformed patch executable file is deformed from a patch executable file including a plurality of binary files, and each of the binary files is configured with an address reference label; and executing the deformed patch executable file and verifying whether a digital signature of the deformed patch executable file is authorized or not. If the digital signature of the deformed patch executable file is authorized, providing an update tool for updating the corresponding firmware component. If the digital signature of the deformed patch executable file is not authorized, prompting that the digital signature is unauthorized.

Method for securely updating firmware components and docking station using the same

A docking device operates in an active mode or a passive mode. The docking device includes a path control module, a processing module and a switch. The processing module is connected to the switch, and the switch is connected between the path control module and the processing module. The path control module is configured to receive a signal from a host device. When the path control module does not receive the signal from the host device, the docking device operates in the active mode, and the processing module is connected to a plurality of function modules through the switch. When the path control module receives the signal from the host device, the docking device operates in the passive mode, and the path control module is connected to the function modules through the switch.

Docking device

Disclosed is a USB docking station and a control method thereof. The USB docking station comprises a micro controller, a first signal multiplexer and a second signal multiplexer, a video signal processor, and a video signal converter. The first signal multiplexer chooses and outputs a first video signal from a first data signal output from a first electronic device. The second signal multiplexer chooses and outputs a second video signal from a second data signal output from a second electronic device. According to a first control signal from the first electronic device or a second control signal from the second electronic device, the micro controller controls the video signal processor to process the first video signal or the second video signal. The video signal converter converts the processed first video signal or the processed second video signal to a video output signal for displaying.
