Description

휴대용 컴퓨터{portable computer}Portable computer

본 발명은 휴대용 컴퓨터에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 무선네트워크용 안테나를 갖는 휴대용 컴퓨터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a portable computer, and more particularly to a portable computer having an antenna for a wireless network.

탁상용 컴퓨터와 대별되는 휴대용 컴퓨터에서 강조되는 것은 이동성과 단순성, 그리고 탁상용 컴퓨터를 대신할 수 있는 기능을 갖는다. 상술한 휴대용 컴퓨터는 랩탑 컴퓨터(laptop computer)와 노트북 컴퓨터(notebook computer), 그리고 팜탑 컴퓨터(palmtop computer)등 휴대할 수 있는 컴퓨터를 모두 포함하여 일컫는 것이다.Emphasis on a desktop computer as opposed to a desktop computer has portability, simplicity, and an alternative to the desktop computer. The above-described portable computer refers to a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer and the like.

휴대용 컴퓨터는 이동성이 뛰어나 무선으로 네트워크에 접속하면 휴대용 단말기로도 사용가능하여, 장소에 구애받지 않고 무선데이터통신을 할 수 있다.A portable computer is excellent in mobility and can be used as a portable terminal when wirelessly connected to a network, thereby enabling wireless data communication regardless of a place.

이러한 휴대용 컴퓨터에 적용되는 무선네트워크 방식으로는 휴대용 컴퓨터를 위한 PCMCIA 타입의 입출력 포트에 무선용 랜카드를 접속하거나, 요즘에 알려진 전파를 이용한 근거리 무선통신 기술로 블루투스(BLUETOOTH)가 있다.A wireless network method applied to such a portable computer includes a wireless LAN card connected to an input / output port of a PCMCIA type for a portable computer, or Bluetooth (BLUETOOTH) as a short range wireless communication technology using a known radio wave.

블루투스는 이동전화, 컴퓨터, PDA 등이 근거리 무선접속을 사용하고 있는 가정이나 회사의 전화나 컴퓨터와 연결하는 방법을 기술하고 있는 컴퓨터 및 통신 산업계의 규격이다.Bluetooth is a standard in the computer and telecommunications industry that describes how mobile phones, computers, PDAs, etc., connect to home or business phones or computers that use short-range wireless connections.

이에, 종래에는 휴대용 단말기(예를 들면 노트북)의 휴대자들이 폐쇄된 장소에서 근거리통신망을 사용하고자 할 때, 일반적인 예로, 노트북에서 유선랜을 이용할 경우 노트북본체의 외측면에 마련된 RJ-45 케이블에 이동 단말기의 PCMCIA 타입의 네트워크카드를 연결하고, 무선랜의 경우에는 노트북의 PCMCIA 카드에 PCMCIA용 무선 근거리 통신용 송수신장치를 연결하여 근거리통신망에 접속하였다.Thus, conventionally, when a portable terminal (for example, a laptop) of portable users wants to use a local area network in a closed place, for example, when using a wired LAN in a laptop, it moves to an RJ-45 cable provided on the outer side of the laptop main body. The PCMCIA type network card of the terminal was connected, and in the case of the wireless LAN, the PCMCIA card of the notebook PC was connected to the local area network by connecting a PCMCIA wireless local area transceiver.

최근에는, 블루투스기능을 갖는 무선네트워크카드가 보드와 일체로 형성된 노트북이 제품으로 출시되어 있으며, 노트북본체의 마더보드에 마련된 Mini PCI슬롯에 삽입하여 사용할 수 있도록 개발된 무선네트워크카드가 상용화될 예정이다.Recently, notebooks in which a wireless network card with a Bluetooth function is integrated with a board have been released as a product, and a wireless network card developed to be inserted and used in a Mini PCI slot provided on a motherboard of a notebook body will be commercialized. .

여기서, 블루투스방식의 무선네트워크기능을 갖는 휴대용컴퓨터(30)는 도3에도시된 바와 같이, LCD디스플레이판(37)의 상부 측면에 홈을 마련하고, 안테나(40)를 설치하였다. 그리고, 무선네트워크칩(31)의 안테나연결부에 연결하여 길게 마련된 케이블을 본체와 LCD디스플레이판면에 매입하여 안테나(40)와 연결시켰다.Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the portable computer 30 having the wireless network function of the Bluetooth type is provided with a groove on the upper side of the LCD display plate 37, and an antenna 40 is provided. Then, a long cable was connected to the antenna connection part of the wireless network chip 31 and embedded in the main body and the LCD display plate to connect the antenna 40.

그런데, 이러한 경우, 안테나의 연결케이블의 길이가 길어져 감도가 좋지 않고, LCD디스플레이판의 기구적인 변형을 해야 하므로 매우 불편한 단점이 있다.However, in this case, the length of the connection cable of the antenna is long, the sensitivity is not good, and the mechanical display of the LCD display plate has to be very uncomfortable.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은, 무선네트워크를 위한 안테나를 컴퓨터본체의 기구적인 변형없이 컴퓨터본체의 외측면에 마련된 유선네트워크용 네트워크선 커넥터에 용이하게 설치가능하며, 감도가 향상된 안테나를 갖는 휴대용 컴퓨터를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable computer having an antenna having an improved sensitivity, which can easily install an antenna for a wireless network in a wired network network line connector provided on the outer side of the computer body without mechanical modification of the computer body. To provide.
