Electronic device
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a host, operative between a first mode and a second mode;
a communication module connected to the host; and
an index module comprising a first index unit connected to the host and a second index unit connected to the communication module;
when the host is in the first mode, the host is controlled by at least one of the first index unit and the second index unit of the index module; and
when the host is in the second mode, the communication module is controlled by the second index unit of the index module, and the communication module is automatically disconnected from the host and independently operated.

Abstract
An electronic device. A host connected to a display device is equipped with a communication module and an index module. The host is operative between a first mode (ON) and a second mode (OFF). The communication module comprises a first and second communication units. The index module comprises a first index unit connected to the host and a second index unit connected to the communication module. When the host is “ON”, the host is controlled by the first index unit and/or the second index unit. When the host is “OFF”, the first communication unit and/or the second communication unit is/are controlled by the second index unit, and thus the user can still manually perform phone, modem and facsimile functions.

9. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a host operative between a first mode and a second mode; an auxiliary power system; a communication module comprising a first communication unit and a second communication unit, connected to the host; and an index module comprising a first index unit connected to the host and a second index unit connected to the communication module; when the host is in the first mode, the host is controlled by at least one of the first index unit and the second index unit of the index module; and when the host is in the second mode, at least one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit is controlled by the second index unit of the index module, and the communication module is automatically connected to the auxiliary power system for operation, so that the first and second communication units of the communication module are operative and independent from the host. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An electronic device, comprising:
- a host operative between a first mode and a second mode;
a communication module connected to the host; and
an index module comprising a transparent first index unit connected to the host and a second index unit connected to the communication module, wherein the second index unit is integrally formed with the transparent first index unit;
when the host is in the first mode, the host is controlled by at least one of the transparent first index unit and the second index unit of the index module;
when the host is in the second mode, the communication module is controlled by the second index unit of the transparent index module, wherein the communication module is automatically disconnected from the host and independently operated when the host is in the second mode. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
