Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect a hand-held type information processor from malfunction by setting a communication switch at a place different from a keyboard of an upper case and also covering the keyboard with a case cover. CONSTITUTION:A lower case 10 and an upper case 20 are provided. A case cover 30 contains a display panel 3 of liquid crystal, etc. fixed on the inside face via a match plate 4 is attached turnably together with a main body part containing an upper plane keyboard 2 by means of a pair of hinge structures 5 and 5. Thus the keyboard 2 is covered with the cover 30 when the keyboard 2 is not used. A communication switch 1 is set at a recess part 6 of the upper case 20. Then the switch 1 is pushed with a telephone handset T kept pressed to the device coupler to attain the communication of data to the outside of the device through a telephone circuit. Here no contact is given to the keyboard 2 in a communication mode since the cover 30 is closed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Field of Near Field Application The present invention relates to a data communication switch structure suitable for a handheld information processing device.

B. Defeat of the Invention The present invention is used in handheld information processing devices such as “'QW”.
A communication switch is installed in a location separate from the keyboard with keys such as "ERTY," and the communication switch is installed in an exterior case structure designed to prevent malfunction.
, sea urchin chino.

Conventional technology The handheld information processing device ζ1 has conventionally been used as a communication switch by combining "QWE RI Y" l=- or as a communication switch due to the demand for miniaturization. The switch is also 'QWE'
It was placed on the same keyboard as the "RTY" key.Furthermore, no consideration was given to preventing malfunctions in switches with important functions such as communication switches.

D Problems to be Solved by the Invention The problems to be solved by the present invention are when a user attempts to communicate using a built-in coupler using a handset such as a telephone, and when the communication switch malfunctions or other keys are pressed incorrectly. This means that malfunctions may occur if the device touches the device.

E. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve these problems.The present invention is designed to prevent malfunctions of communication switches by using an exterior case shape to prevent malfunctions of communication switches. Malfunctions can be prevented by measures such as placing the

F. Function The present invention provides a communication switch on the outside of the case lid that covers the keyboard, and the communication switch is installed in a recessed part of the outer case to prevent malfunction.

G. Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, which consists of a lower case 10 and an upper case 20, and the upper keyboard 2 is
The case lid 3 is fixed to the inside surface with a partition plate 4 for the display panel 3 of the customer.
0 is rotatably mounted on two sets of hinge structures 5°5 (when the keyboard is not in use, the keyboard 2 can be mounted on the case lid 30.
It is structured to cover.

Figure 2 is mentioned above! ! -b showing an embodiment with the case lid 30 covered when the keyboard of 1fiff is not in use, in which the communication switch 1 is provided in the recess 6 of the upper case 200, and a display indicating the communication status such as l-13 [] The light 7 is also provided above the recess 6.

FIG. 3 shows the back side of the above-described device, in which an acoustic coupler 40 and an external storage device 44 such as a rambag are housed in a recessed portion of the lower case 10.

Returning again to FIG. 2, a specific example of actual communication using the communication switch 1 will be described. The telephone handset T is pressed against the coupler 40 shown in FIG. 3 of the device.
- By pressing the communication switch 1, it becomes possible to exchange data 8 with the outside of the device via the telephone line. At this time, communication can be carried out without touching the keyboard 2 shown in FIG. 1 because the 11-channel 3) 0 is closed. 1. Also, since the outer case around the communication switch 10 is formed like a recess 6, when the handset T is pressed down, the head of the communication switch 1 does not come out on the surface of the upper case 20, making it difficult to press it by mistake. There is a structure that prevents things from happening.

1-1 Effects As explained above, according to the present invention, the communication switch is provided in a location separate from the keyboard in the upper case, and the keyboard can be covered by the case lid, thereby protecting it from malfunctions and ensuring reliable operation. A handheld information processing device that can communicate can be provided.
