Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, it is depicted as a kind of electronic installation according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.Electronic installation 100 comprises a body 102 and a display module 106.The end face 102a of body 102 has the usefulness of a keyboard 116 for user's input information.The side 102b design of body 102 has a plurality of external connection slots 104.In body 102, installing light emitting source 107 (for example light-emitting diode).When light emitting source 107 passes side 102b and is projected on the loading end 110, by the position of distinguished symbol to orient corresponding external connection slot position.In the present embodiment, external connection slot 104 is arranged on the 102b of side, but external connection slot 104 can also design on arbitrary side of body 102 (for example side 102c or side 102d).When going up, the side of body 102 (for example side 102c, side 102d or side 102b) is adjacent to loading end 110 when body 102 is positioned over loading end 110 (in order to the bottom surface 102e (with reference to Fig. 2) of carrying body 102).
Please refer to Fig. 2, it is depicted as the end view of the electronic installation of Fig. 1.Figure 3 shows that the method schematic diagram of external connection slot position on the electronic installation of identification Fig. 1.On the 102b of the side of body 102,, more designed corresponding distinguished symbol except design external connection slot 104.For example, the corresponding distinguished symbol 108a of external connection slot 104a is as the headset plug pattern; The corresponding distinguished symbol 108b of external connection slot 104b; The corresponding distinguished symbol 108c of external connection slot 104c is not limited to enforcement pattern among the figure or shown in the specification at this distinguished symbol, as 1394 plug pattern or numerals, even the pattern of the customized joint of manufacturer etc.When light emitting source 107 during to distinguished symbol 108, will occur the projection 118 of distinguished symbol 108 from body 102 internal radiations on loading end 110.The user is according to the projected position of distinguished symbol, find out corresponding external connection slot in body 102 lateral location, what specify is, light emitting source 107 from body 102 internal radiations to the surface (loading end 110) at angle, for example: miter angle, so in other embodiments, this angle can change to some extent according to the difference of the lateral layout of electronic installation, for example the side of electronic installation itself is designed to miter angle, projection this moment distinguished symbol is to the light source on surface, just need not do the adjustment of any angle, moreover, projection distinguished symbol to the light source on surface is conveniently to be visually purpose according to the user, reads under the distinguished symbol that projection goes out not influencing the user, and any angle is all the scope that the present invention is contained.
The design of the side 102b of body 102 can be divided into two kinds haply.First kind side 102b is resistance finish matter, and distinguished symbol 108 is designed to light transmission pattern (for example carving the empty graph sample).When light emitting source 107 from body 102 internal radiations during to distinguished symbol 108, the projection 118 of distinguished symbol is the part of luminance on the loading end 110.Alternative side 102b is a light-transmitting materials, and distinguished symbol 108 is designed to hinder optical pattern.When light emitting source 107 from body 102 internal radiations during to distinguished symbol 108, the projection 118 of distinguished symbol is a part dark on the loading end 110.
In the present embodiment, the end face 102a of body 102 design one starts the button 114 of distinguished symbol projection.When user's pressing button 114, the projection 118 of distinguished symbol will appear on the loading end 110, is convenient to the user and finds out corresponding external connection slot in body 102 lateral location according to the projected position of distinguished symbol.
Please refer to Fig. 4, it is depicted as the part top view of the electronic installation of Fig. 1.Above-mentioned distinguished symbol can also design in the end face 102a of body 102 (but nonessential) except designing the 102b of the side of body 102.The distinguished symbol 109 that is positioned at end face 102a can have two kinds of designs.First kind only is the pattern that is printed on end face 102a, the user only can be under the light good environment could identification, but can't utilize light source identification under dim environment in the body 102.Another kind is above-mentioned light transmission pattern (for example carving the empty graph sample), can utilize the light source in the body 102 to make light transmission pattern shinny under dim environment.Utilize latter's mode, the user is under dim environment during use electronic installation 100, just can utilize the shinny distinguished symbol of end face 102a or the projection of side 102b institute in the distinguished symbol (with reference to Fig. 3) of loading end 110, use and find out corresponding external connection slot in body 102 lateral location.
Though in the above embodiments, electronic installation 100 is a notebook computer, electronic installation 100 also can be devices such as mobile phone, PDA, desktop computer or panel computer.The pattern of above-mentioned distinguished symbol is not the pattern that is defined in graphic, and any symbol that is easy to identification can use according to designer's demand.
By the invention described above preferred embodiment as can be known, use the method for electronic installation of the present invention and its external connection slot position of identification, the user can utilize the shinny distinguished symbol of electronic installation end face or the distinguished symbol of side institute projection under dim environment, use and find out corresponding external connection slot in the position of electronic installation side.
Though the present invention discloses as above with a preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
