J Ming is related to a kind of email sending / receiving device, which is mainly connected to the computer's main system through the secondary system, and can send or receive emails when it is turned off. In recent years, due to the rapid advancement of wired / wireless communication technology, the development of the computer Internet 'has made the combination of communication devices and the Internet more powerful. In particular, the combination of e-mail communication methods, various mail application technologies with different device forms, or different transmission methods has been widely proposed and discussed.

^ Regarding the computer and communication related products on the market, there are still some inconveniences in practical use of receiving or sending emails. For example, in actual computer products, when sending and receiving emails, users must first connect the computer's main system and enter the operating system (Oss) before connecting through related application software (such as 0utlook Express software). And send or receive e-mail, so the overall process is tedious and time-consuming, which not only causes inconvenience to users, but also is not economical. As far as the products that have been disclosed on the market are concerned, the technologies that can perform peripheral functions of the computer when the system is shut down are: 1 · When the system (especially a notebook computer) is turned off, it can simply Those who perform CD-ROM DRIVE to play CDs. 2 · You can receive / send e-mails through the functions of specific mobile phones. 3 · When the system is off, execute the wireless device (including Wake-Up function) transmission / reception function. But if you want to achieve the aforementioned shutdown state, you can perform transmission / reception.

On the other hand, at present, for the conversion of the form of sending e-mail data (: "Send a mail in the form of a file", the receiver can switch from voice playback to voice mail; or send voice mail, and = can Choose to output in text form or play in voice mode. (Technical disclosure of US Patent No. 6,061,718 is currently applied to the e-mail transmission system in wired / wireless communication systems.) (ELECTRONIC MAIL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN WIRED ORWIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM) withered; as shown in the figure-it is the US patent No. 6,0) II: The main diagram of the patent. It can be clearly seen from this diagram that it is mainly to propose a child The mail delivery system can send e-mails at the subscriber station in the wired or wireless communication system. The e-mail transmission ::: converts the e-mail of the file type sent to the client to the mail form of the language mode And then send it to the client, and you can also convert the email in the voice mode that the client wants to send to text form, and then send it to the remote end. However, the conventional technology disclosed in this case, when sending and receiving E_maU, the user must still turn on his personal computer and enter the operating system to connect to the network in order to send and receive text or speech email. The aforementioned inconvenience still exists. In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the current related conventional technology & the method and equipment for sending / receiving e-mail, it is mainly a system device to communicate with the main computer system.
