Aus der DE 33 12 401 C2 geht ein tragbares Dateneingabe- und Datenübertragungsgerät mit Tastatur, Anzeige, Speicher, Daten­ sende- und -empfangseinrichtung hervor. Das Gerät ist für das Kassiergeschäft im Versicherungswesen bestimmt und kommuni­ ziert mit einem externen Computer. Entsprechend sind die Funk­ tionstasten der Tastatur programmiert. Über die Anordnung der Tastatur gibt diese Schrift keine Hinweise.DE 33 12 401 C2 is a portable data entry and Data transfer device with keyboard, display, memory, data transmitting and receiving device. The device is for that Cashier business in insurance determined and commun decorates with an external computer. The radio are corresponding programmed on the keyboard. About the arrangement of the Keyboard, this font gives no clues.

Aus der DE 41 41 382 A1 ist es bekannt, dem Hörer eines draht­ losen Komforttelefons einen Taschenrechner in der Größe einer Kreditkarte zuzuordnen und die Ziffern- und Funktionstasten des Hörers auch für die Durchführung von Rechenfunktionen zu verwenden. An den Hörer lassen sich in Form von Modulen wei­ tere Vorrichtungen anschließen, beispielsweise ein Druckmodul, sowie Module für Notizbuch- und Fernbedienungsfunktion, für Datenspeicherung, Informationsaustausch und -verwertung.From DE 41 41 382 A1 it is known to listen to a wire loose comfort phones a calculator the size of a Assign credit card and the number and function keys the listener also for performing arithmetic functions  use. The handset can be white in the form of modules connect other devices, for example a pressure module, as well as modules for notebook and remote control function, for Data storage, information exchange and utilization.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Funktelefon oder Funkgerät, jeweils mit Modem, mit einem tragbaren Rech­ ner so zu verbinden, daß eine kompakte Baueinheit entsteht und eine vereinfachte Handhabung möglich ist.The invention has for its object a radio telephone or radio, each with a modem, with a portable rake ner to connect so that a compact unit is created and simplified handling is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Rechner eine abnehmbare Bedieneinheit für die Anzeige und die Eingabe der Daten für den Rechner sowie für den Aufbau einer Telefon- oder Funkverbindung aufweist.This object is achieved in that the Computer a removable control unit for the display and the input of the data for the computer as well as for the construction has a telephone or radio connection.

Die Verbindung mit dem Rechner ermöglicht einen direkten Datentausch zwischen der Applikation, die auf dem Rechner abläuft, und beispielsweise den Funkdaten.The connection to the computer enables direct Data exchange between the application on the computer expires, and for example the radio data.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine Sprach- und Datenkommunikation auch bei nicht abgenommener Bedieneinheit möglich. Für Sprechverbindungen ist die Bedieneinheit als Handgerät ausgebildet.In a further embodiment of the invention is a voice and Data communication even when the control unit is not removed possible. For voice connections, the control unit is as Handheld device trained.

Vorzugsweise weist die Bedieneinheit ein Anzeigedisplay und eine Tastatur auf, wodurch eine Fernbedienung, insbesondere eine Fernüberwachung, über das Display möglich wird. The control unit preferably has a display and a keyboard, causing a remote control, in particular remote monitoring via the display.  

Weitere Funktionen und Anwendungen ergeben sich in vorteil­ hafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dadurch, daß im Rechner Barcode-, Magnetkarten-Leser und Leser von kontaktlosen und kontaktbehafteten Chipkarten integriert sind. Dadurch ist eine Online-Überprüfung von Kredit- und Identkarten möglich.Other functions and applications are advantageous embodiment of the invention in that in the computer Barcode, magnetic card readers and readers of contactless and contact-based chip cards are integrated. This is an online check of credit and identity cards is possible.

Ein in der Beschreibung näher erläutertes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung wiedergegeben; es zeigtAn embodiment explained in more detail in the description the invention is shown in the drawing; it shows

Fig. 1 in schematischer Draufsicht die Kombination eines tragbaren Universalrechners mit abgenommener Be­ dieneinheit; Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the combination of a portable general-purpose computer with the operating unit removed;

Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht von Rechner und Bedieneinheit; Fig. 2 is a side view of the computer and control unit;

Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht der Bedieneinheit. Fig. 3 is a side view of the control unit.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist in einen tragbaren Universalrechner 1 hardware- und softwaremäßig ein Funktelefon oder ein Funkge­ rät, jeweils mit Modem, integriert, mit dem eine direkte Kom­ munikation mit anderen Rechnern, aber auch mit intelligenten Sensoren oder Aktoren erfolgen kann.As Fig. 1 shows, in a portable general purpose computer is 1 hardware and in software, a radio phone or a Funkge advises, respectively, integrated with a modem, with which a direct com munication with other computers, but can also take place with intelligent sensors or actuators.

Auf dem Rechner 1 ist eine abnehmbare Bedieneinheit 2 aufgesetzt, die mit dem Rechner über Kontakte oder kontaktlos gekoppelt ist. Im nicht abgenommenen Zustand dient die Be­ dieneinheit 2 zur Sprach- und Datenkommunikation. A removable control unit 2 is placed on the computer 1 and is coupled to the computer via contacts or contactlessly. When not removed, the control unit 2 is used for voice and data communication.

Zur besseren Handhabung bei Sprechverbindungen ist die Be­ dieneinheit 2 als Handgerät ausgebildet. An einem Anzeige­ display 3 werden die zum Datenaustausch verfügbaren Funk­ tionen grafisch angezeigt. Teilbereiche des Anzeigedisplays 3 können als Touch-Screen ausgeführt sein, der auf Berüh­ rungen des Anwenders reagiert. Im Anzeigedisplay 3 werden weiterhin die Daten angezeigt, die vom Anwender über eine Tastatur 4 eingegeben oder von einem externen Rechner empfangen werden.For better handling of speech connections, the control unit 2 is designed as a handheld device. The functions available for data exchange are shown graphically on a display 3 . Portions of the display 3 can be designed as a touch screen that reacts to the user's touch.
