Description

FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention is directed to central processors and motherboards for use in computers.
BACKGROUND
In the early days of computing, computer devices were configured to operate from a fixed location. Even today, a personal computer set up in a home would generally be useable only from the home. As such, these computers are geographically limited.
With the advent of mobile computing, some computer devices have become portable. A lap top computer or a mobile cell phone may travel with the user and generally be useable from any location. These portable computing devices have become devices that generally can be used anywhere, anytime.
Computer devices generally include a motherboard, memory, a keyboard and a display. The motherboard contains the “brains” of the computer device. The motherboard is the physical arrangement that holds the CPU. Motherboards also hold the memory, the basic input/output system (BIOS), expansion slot and interconnecting circuitry.
A conventional computer device is provided with its own motherboard. Each motherboard sits inside a computer box. The location of the motherboard inside the box makes it difficult to reach one or more of the parts of the motherboard if the part is to be replaced or upgraded. In particular, to replace or upgrade a part, a user needs to disassemble the computer box and reach inside the box to reach the part. Also, by locating the motherboard inside the box, the motherboard becomes integrated into the computer box. Accordingly, a motherboard is a dedicated device that is designed to serve one master—namely, the computer device into which the motherboard is integrated. Dedication of a motherboard to a master limits what the motherboard can do to tasks that are defined by the master. If a master is idle, the motherboard gets little use.
The present invention overcomes this and other shortcomings by providing a motherboard that is portably configured to serve more than one computer device.
SUMMARY
I have devised a computer system comprising a portable motherboard which when connected with a computer box having internal circuitry and communication ports, a keyboard terminal and a display forms the computer system. In the preferred embodiment of a personal computer, the motherboard comprises a microprocessor and a connector. The computer box comprises a connector externally accessible from the computer box for receiving and electrically communicating with said motherboard connector, and circuitry interconnecting said computer box connector to the internal circuitry of the computer box for operating the communication ports of the computer box. Connection of the portable motherboard to the computer box enables the computer box to perform computing operations including keyboard terminal and display functions.
In an alternative computer system, the computer box is a laptop computer containing the keyboard terminal and display. The laptop computer comprises a connector externally accessible from the laptop computer for receiving and electrically communicating with said motherboard connector, and circuitry interconnecting said laptop computer connector to the internal circuitry of the laptop computer for operating the laptop computer. Connection of the portable motherboard to the laptop computer enables the laptop computer to perform computing operations including keyboard terminal and display functions.
The portable motherboard I have devised may further comprise a hand held substrate, a microprocessor being attached. to said substrate; a connector attached to said substrate; and circuitry interconnecting said microprocessor to said motherboard connector. In other embodiments, the portable motherboard comprises memory attached to said substrate; and/or basic input/output system BIOS attached to said substrate; and/or expansion slots; together with circuitry interconnecting the expansion slots to the motherboard connector.
My inventive method provides a motherboard with a connecter; provides a computer box or laptop with an externally accessible connector for receiving the motherboard connector; and connects the motherboard connector to the externally accessible computer box or laptop connector to form a computer system.

In use, when portable motherboard 300 is connected to motherboard socket 200, central processor 113 may directly or by activation of a switch located on either portable motherboard or computer box 20 be placed into electrical connection with data bus 118 and hence with circuitry internal to computer box 20 to provide processing capability to computer box 20.
FIG. 3 shows a first preferred embodiment of the invention wherein portable motherboard 300 comprises central processor 113 with connection pins 115 and cooling fan 116 with three wire leads 117. Connection pins 115 mate with connector receptacles 201 on motherboard socket 200. Lever 114 found on motherboard socket 200 is used to provide a tight electrical connection between portable motherboard 300 and motherboard socket 200. Three wire leads 117 from cooling fan 116 on portable motherboard 300 provide electrical connection to pins 111 on first portion 120 of substrate 100 for powering fan 116. Substrate 100 is held to computer box 20 by screws 105 and away from the wall of computer box 20 by spacers 106. Also shown on computer box 20 is disk drive 22. Electrical bus 118 provides electrical connectivity between central processor 113 of motherboard 300 and circuitry 140 residing on second portion 130 of substrate 100.
FIG. 4 shows a functional block diagram of circuitry 140. Circuitry 140 comprises a North Bridge 130 and a South Bridge 140a. North Bridge 130 is electrically connected through memory bus 131 to memory 132, is electrically connected through AGP bus 135 to accelerated graphics port 134, and is electrically connected through bus 137 to South Bridge 140a. South Bridge 140a is electrically connected through PCI bus 141 to peripheral component port(s) 142 and is electrically connected through ATA bus 143 to ATA 144. Each of these components are well known in the art.
FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein substrate 100 is a two sided printed circuit board. Electrical bus 118 in this embodiment carries data from portable motherboard 300 through substrate 100 to circuitry residing on the other side of substrate.
FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, portable motherboard 300 comprises central processing unit 113 and North Bridge 130. Data bus 192 provides electrical connection of both central processing unit 113 and North Bridge 130 to circuitry 140 residing inside computer box 20. Circuitry 140 in this example comprises memory 132, AGP 134, South Bridge 140a, ATA 144, and PIC 142 which are electrically connected to data bus 192 through bus 131, bus 135, bus 137, bus 143 and bus 141, respectively.
FIG. 7 shows yet another embodiment. In this embodiment, portable motherboard 300 comprises central processing unit 113, North Bridge 130, and South Bridge 140a.

This form fact further enhances the dissipation of heat generated by the portable motherboard.
It will be appreciated that the location of portable motherboard 300 external to the computer box improves the heat dissipation properties of the motherboard by exposing the motherboard to the natural air flow in the environment instead of confining the heat dissipation from the motherboard to the use of forced air inside of a closed computer box. While a number of the previously described embodiments make use of a fan in providing for heat dissipation from the motherboard, in some instances depending upon the heat dissipation requirements of the motherboard, the natural air flow occurring outside of the computer box may provide sufficient cooling of the motherboard. In those instances, the natural air flow may minimize the need for use of a fan for providing forced cooling of the motherboard or may make the use of a fan to provide forced cooling unnecessary altogether.
With the above and other embodiments, the inventive motherboard is portably configured to serve one or more computers. Preferably, the computer is a personal computer or laptop. Alternatively, the computer may be a server. Yet alternatively, the computer may be a mobile phone.

The portable motherboard provides a computer box with a brain. Alternatively, where a computer with a brain is slow, the portable motherboard may be used to boost the brain-power of the slow computer. As shown in FIG. 10, the FIG. 3 portable motherboard may be electrically connected to a computer having internal circuitry 140 having a CPU 3000 in order to boost the microprocessing capability of the computer. Whether the portable motherboard brings life to a computer box or boosts the microprocessor power of a computer containing an internal microprocessor, the portable motherboard is a powerful invention that makes microprocessor power more efficient and ubiquitous.
While the invention has been described in connection with specific embodiments, it is evident that numerous alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the invention described above.
