PORTABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SETTING A HARDWARE IDENTITY CODE CORRESPONDING TO THE PORTABLE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A portable device, comprising:
- a first module capable of performing a first function and corresponding to a first hardware identity code;
a second module capable of performing a second function and corresponding to a second hardware identity code; and
a controller, coupled to the first and the second modules, for controlling the first and the second modules to allow the portable device to perform the first function or the second function according to a selecting signal, wherein if the controller enables the first module, the controller utilizes the first hardware identity code as a hardware identity code of the portable device, and if the controller enables the second module, the controller utilizes the second hardware identity code as the hardware identity code of the portable device.
