[Structure] (a) The scanner 3 is joined to one end of the portable computer 1. (B) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 can send information by the code 4 even when they are separated. (C) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 are provided with a code 4 terminal or an optical communication terminal used for transmitting information between them. (D) Either the portable computer 1 or the scanner 3 has a hook for joining, and the other has a hole that engages with the hook.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable computer with a scanner in which a scanner (scanning mechanism, hereinafter referred to as a scanner) 3 is attached to one end of a portable computer 1.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, portable computers have been made lighter and smaller. At the same time, the keyboard used for typing is getting smaller. Therefore, it is difficult to enter. Also, with a portable computer that does not have a scanner, it is not possible to easily input a large amount of already printed matter, drawings, pictures, and letters on paper.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Except for its drawbacks, this plan is to develop a portable computer with a scanner that can easily input a large amount of already printed matter, figures, pictures and characters written on paper etc. at one time. is there.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Now, the solution means will be described with reference to the drawings. (A) The scanner 3 is joined to one end of the portable computer 1. (B) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 can send information by the code 4 even when they are separated. (C) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 are provided with a terminal 5 of a code 4 used for transmitting information between them or a terminal 6 for optical communication. (D) Either the portable computer 1 or the scanner 3 has a hook 7 for joining, and the other has a hole 8 for engaging with it.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the present invention has the above-described structure, when it is used, (a) even when the portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 are joined by the joining hook 7 as shown in FIG. 3 is usable. Further, in this state, since the cord 4 or the terminal 6 for optical communication is joined, information can be transmitted. (B) Information can be transmitted by the code 4 even when the portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 are separated as shown in FIG.

[0006]

【Example】

 In implementing the present invention, the following can be done. (B) A large amount of the already printed matter, figures, pictures, characters, etc. written on paper etc. can be easily input from the scanner 3 at a time. (B) Information such as figures, pictures and characters input by the scanner 3 is stored in the storage device of the portable computer 1, and the stored information can be freely processed while looking at the liquid crystal display panel 2. It can be easily processed, modified, etc. (C) If a program for translating is included in the portable computer 1, the information input by the scanner 3 can be easily translated on the spot, and the translated information can be freely processed while looking at the liquid crystal display panel 2. Can be processed and modified. (D) If the portable computer 1 has a program for character recognition, it can easily recognize the information entered by the scanner 3 on the spot and freely process the recognized information while looking at the liquid crystal display panel 2. Can be processed and modified. (E) Especially in the pen-input type portable computer and the pen-input type electronic notebook, the information input by the scanner 3 can be more easily processed, processed and corrected by the pen input on the liquid crystal display panel 2. . (F) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 can be used either in a joined state (FIG. 1) or in a separated state (FIG. 2). (G) As a means for transmitting information, optical communication is possible by joining the cord 4 or the optical communication terminal 6 in the joined state (FIG. 1). In the separated state (Fig. 2), information can be transmitted by the code 4.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, it is possible to easily and easily input a large amount of information that has already been printed, such as drawings, pictures and characters written on paper, etc., at once by the scanner 3. Further, the information can be stored in the storage device of the portable computer 1, and the stored information can be easily processed, processed, modified, etc. while looking at the liquid crystal display panel 2.

[0008]

[Supplement]

 The basic conditions recognized as a portable computer with a scanner in the present invention are: (a) The scanner 3 is joined to one end of the portable computer 1. (B) The total weight of the scanner 3 connected to the portable computer 1 is 4.0 kg or less. (C) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 are provided with a terminal 5 of a code 4 or an optical communication terminal 6 used for transmitting information between the two. (D) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 have , One of them has a hook 7 for joining, and the other has a hole 8 for engaging with it. (E) The keyboard may or may not be attached to the portable computer 1. A pen input type portable computer and a pen input type electronic notebook (CPU: one having a built-in central processing unit) are also included in this condition. (F) The portable computer 1 and the scanner 3 can send information by the code 4 even when they are separated (FIG. 2).
