Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a laptop-type personal computer that has substantially the same functions as a desktop-type personal computer and is easily portable.

[Conventional technology]

A typical laptop-type personal computer currently on the market consists of a main body, a lid, and a hinge that rotatably connects the main body and the lid. A keyboard is provided on the surface of the main body, and a liquid crystal panel is provided on the surface that faces the keyboard when the lid is closed. A removable battery compartment is provided at the rear of the hinge.
A hard disk device is built inside the left side of the main body. Furthermore, most of the main circuits are included inside the main body.

A laptop-type personal computer is also called a book-type personal computer because its entire size is approximately the same as a general book or magazine when the lid is closed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, conventional lamp-top personal computers can only be used continuously for two and a half to three hours even with new batteries because the bank light of the liquid crystal panel requires a large amount of power. Operators had to replace the batteries approximately every three hours. As described above, conventional laptop-type personal computers have had the disadvantage of short operating time when powered by batteries. When the data capacity increases, a hard disk drive with a larger capacity is used, or multiple hard disk drives are replaced. On the other hand, laptop personal computers cannot use hard disk drives larger than a certain size due to their size, and cannot be inserted or removed, so the storage capacity of the hard disk drive is large. When this happens, application software and data must be read and stored separately on multiple floppy disks. Therefore, for example, if you are using word processing software and want to use spreadsheet software next time, close the word processing software, read the contents to a floppy disk, and then load the spreadsheet software from another floppy disk to the hard disk. It must be loaded into the device and started up. In this way, with conventional laptop-type personal computers, each time you want to use software that requires a large storage capacity, you have to load it from the floppy disk to the hard disk and start it up from the initial screen, which is time-consuming. There was a problem that the operation efficiency was poor.

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a laptop-type personal computer that has a longer continuous operating time when powered by a battery.

Further, the present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and can be operated efficiently even when a plurality of software requiring a large storage capacity is used. The purpose is to provide a laptop-type personal computer.

A first invention for achieving the above object is a laptop-knob type personal computer comprising a main body having a keyboard, a lid having a display, and a main DC power source for driving, wherein A removable hard disk device is provided, and when the hard disk device is removed, a space into which the hard disk device is inserted is provided with an I! The present invention is characterized in that it is configured such that an auxiliary DC power supply section having a function can be inserted therein.

A second invention for achieving the above object includes a main body portion including a keyboard, a lid portion having a display portion, and a driving straight line.
tR unit, characterized in that a removable hard disk device is provided in the main body portion, and a working state storage function is provided for storing the current state in the hard disk device when the work is completed. It is something to do.

[Effect]

The first invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when the hard disk drive is not used, the auxiliary DC power supply section is inserted into the insertion location of the hard disk drive, so that the main DC power supply can be switched off. Since it can be driven using the # section and the auxiliary DC power supply section, the operating time when using the DC power supply section is longer than that of the conventional type while maintaining miniaturization.

The second invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and by providing a working state storage function, the hard disk device stores the state at the end of the previous operation, so when using the hard disk device, can immediately reproduce the state of the hard disk device at the end of the previous operation.
