DE10206635A1 - Input- and output-device for data processing esp. for computer user, has housing or protective elements, and housed units for installing in housing elements - Google Patents

Abstract

An input- and output-device for data processing can be mounted on a small area and can be easily transported without protective packaging material and consists of housing/protective elements and housed units and its housed units are permanently installed in three housing/protective elements (1-3) or can be temporarily housed with mechanical protection. The three housing elements (1-3) are movably interjoined via two mutually abutting edges, and by altering the position of these three units, the range of use of the housed units can be varied, and the separately housed units, in particular the input appliances (4,5), can be released from the housing elements (3) for further use.

Description

Input and output devices for the Data processing that is together on the smallest Let space accommodate and simple and without protective packaging material can be transported.

There are basically two different approaches for computer users when choosing their hardware:
Either he chooses a portable device, this contains all the necessary components in the smallest space, but offers only limited performance and ease of use and is not very suitable for continuous use.

Or he uses more conventional Components that are considered full-fledged work equipment are used, but a lot when not in use Take up space and for a gentle one Transport original packaging need that often a multiple of the device size be. In addition, there is often a lot of effort for the wiring of the components.

The in and described below Output devices are regarding Efficiency and ease of use for the Designed for continuous use, but can be Not used and for transportation on the smallest Accommodate space and do not have to are additionally packed or protected thus in flexibility and insensitivity portable devices in nothing.

With increasing IT work within Networking wins the IT workplace as pure input and output interface without individual devices for data processing or Data storage is becoming increasingly important. The modern, mobile workplace needs only a connection for energy and Data access (even this can be done in increasingly wireless) and especially light and easy to transporting devices.

• - Das Element, welches den Flachbildschirm beherbergt (1) ist beweglich verbunden mit dem
• - Element, welches alle
  Komponenten Vorrichtungen und Anschlüsse zur akustischen Medienwiedergabe (z. B.: Lautsprecher; Mikrofone, Steuerungselemente, Audio-Ein- und Ausgänge), sowie
  Steuerungselemente - für direkte Bildschirmeinstellungen und die
  Sende- und Empfangseinheit für kabellose Kommunikation mit weiteren Geraten (z. B.: Tastatur, Zeigegerät, Rechner, Netzwerkschnittstelle) beherbergen kann (2).
  Dieses ist wiederum beweglich verbunden mit dem
• - Fußelement (3), welches im zusammengeklappten Zustand (Fig. 1) oder bei der Verwendung der Geräte im Stil eines Laptops (Fig. 2) Tastatur (4) und Zeigegerät (5) beherbergen kann bzw. lediglich der Standsicherung dient und so eine Höhenverstellung (Fig. 3-4) des Flachbildschirms ermöglicht.

The individual components are housed by three elements ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) which are movably connected to one another and which can be brought into different positions relative to one another as required and thus allow different applications;

• - The element that houses the flat screen ( 1 ) is movably connected to the
• - element which all
  Components Devices and connections for acoustic media playback (e.g. speakers, microphones, control elements, audio inputs and outputs), as well
  Controls - for direct screen settings and the
  Transmitting and receiving unit for wireless communication with other devices (e.g. keyboard, pointing device, computer, network interface) can accommodate ( 2 ).
  This is in turn movably connected to the
• - Foot element ( 3 ), which in the folded state ( Fig. 1) or when using the devices in the style of a laptop ( Fig. 2) keyboard ( 4 ) and pointing device ( 5 ) can accommodate or only serves to secure the position and so one Height adjustment ( Fig. 3-4) of the flat screen enables.

Furthermore, for a completely cable-independent use of the devices, it is conceivable to accommodate an accumulator ( 6 ) in the foot element.

The three accommodating elements ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) serve, among other things, as robust housings that protect the accommodated technology from five sides against mechanical influences. In the folded state ( Fig. 1) all parts are so well protected that incorrect operation is no longer possible and the devices can be transported, stacked or spatially rotated without any problems.

The advantages mentioned relate in particular to the use as input and output devices for data processing. A further use z. B. as a combined, or pure television would also be conceivable. In this case, the necessary technology could be accommodated by elements 2 and / or 3 .

Claims (7)

1. Input and output devices for data processing, characterized in that
they can be accommodated together in the smallest space
they can be transported easily and without protective packaging material
they consist of accommodating elements and accommodated components
their housed components are permanently installed in three housed elements ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) or can be accommodated temporarily and these offer them mechanical protection, among other things
the three accommodating dementia are movably connected to each other via two adjacent edges and thus form a unit together with the permanently installed components
by changing the position of the three accommodating elements to each other, the range of applications of the accommodated components can be changed
individual accommodated components, in particular the input devices ( 4 , 5 ), can be detached from the accommodating element ( 3 ) and can continue to be used 2. Input and output devices for data processing according to claim 1, characterized in that
their housed components are permanently installed in three housed elements ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) or can be accommodated temporarily, the outer shape of which can be described by that of a flat cube
the three accommodating elements and with them the accommodated components can be brought into a position such that their entirety in the outer shape can be described by that of a flat cube ( FIG. 1). 3. Input and output devices for the Data processing according to one of claims 1-2, characterized in that one or more input devices in one harboring element temporary can be accommodated. 4. Input and output devices for data processing according to one of claims 1-3, characterized in that a device for network-independent energy supply ( 6 ) in a housing element ( 3 ) is permanently installed or can be temporarily accommodated. 5. Input and output devices for the Data processing according to one of claims 1-4, characterized in that the components housed also the Allow use as a TV. 6. Input and output devices for the Data processing according to one of claims 1-4, characterized in that the components housed the Allow use as a pure TV. 7.
