Abstract
In order to drive a peripheral device according to data signals stored in a portable device, the portable device is connected with the peripheral device via a converter device that includes first interface dedicated for the portable device and second interface for the peripheral device. When the portable device sends the data signals to the converter device via the first interface, the converter device generates driving signals for driving the peripheral device according to the data signals and to a driver program dedicated for the peripheral device. Then, the converter sends the driving signals to the peripheral device via the second interface.
