A storage device is operable to be coupled to a host electronic device. The storage device includes a memory operable to store an operating system, applications and to provide mass storage functionality, a processor operable to run the operating system and execute the applications on the storage device and an interface is operable to couple the storage device to the host electronic device. The interface provides a data communication path and a power communication path between the storage device and the host electronic device. The storage device has a master storage device mode in which the storage device is operable to control at least one slave function of the host electronic device and a slave storage device mode in which at least one slave function of the storage device is controlled by the host electronic device.

Storage device having master and slave storage device modes

A storage device, such as an SD card, that is coupled to a host device, such as a mobile phone, includes a computing environment. The computing environmentcomprises an application processing part, an interface processing part, and a shared memory, and is operable to execute one or more applications on the storage device, and a set of software components that together provide a server module on the storage device. There is a corresponding set of client software components on the host devicethat together provide a client module on the host devicethat can cooperate with the server module on the storage deviceto allow an application that is being executed in the computing environmentof the storage deviceto access and use input and output functions of the host device

Master storage device for controlling slave functions of a host electronic device

A storage device, such as an SD card, that is coupled to a host device, such as a mobile phone, includes a computing environment. The computing environmentincludes an application processing part, and a separate interface processing part. The application processing partof the computing environmentis operable to execute one or more applications on the storage device. The interface processing partof the computing environmentincludes an interface processor that interfaces between a communications protocol used between the host deviceand the storage device, and a communications protocol used by the application processor in the application processing partof the storage device. The interface processor communicates with the application processor via interrupts and a shared memory
