Abstract

PURPOSE:To save a space for installation of business machines and to attain the application of a personal computer which can serve as a telephone and a computer terminal, by incorporating both the telephone and personal computer functions into a single housing. CONSTITUTION:A main body part 10 of the housing of a personal computer PC contains a processor part 1, an external storage device 3, a keyboard 2, a display 4 and a telephone 5. Then this PC21 incorporating the telephone 5 can work with operations of the keyboard 2, the display 4, the internal processor 1 and the storage device 3. Then the communication is possible with a subscriber telephone 26 if the PC21 is connected to a telephone circuit network 23 via a private exchange 22. In addition, the data communication is possible between another PC21 connected to the network 23 and a host computer 24 together with the talking with a PC25 containing a telephone.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a personal computer device, and particularly to a personal computer device having a communication function.

Heretofore, in the general business field, personal computers and telephones have been physically independent devices and have no relationship with each other. For this reason, there are the following drawbacks in the general office field.

Since it is necessary to install both the telephone and the personal computer on the office desk in the office, each requires a separate installation location, which has the disadvantage that the work space for the person is narrowed. Furthermore, when communicating between a personal computer and other computer equipment, the personal computer does not have functions such as a dialing function or a network control device necessary for communication, and special functions must be added. Furthermore, since the personal computer device does not have a voice storage function, it also has the disadvantage that it is not possible to communicate when the user is absent.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and its purpose is to make it possible to save space for installing office equipment, and to make it possible to use a personal computer while making a telephone call, or to use a computer while making a telephone call. An object of the present invention is to provide a personal computer device that can be used as a terminal.

The personal computer device according to the present invention may have a telephone function and a personal computer function installed in the same housing so that both functions can be used independently.
The configuration also allows both functions to be operated and used in conjunction with each other.

Example Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and a main body 10 of the casing has a built-in processor section 1 including a main memory device that constitutes a main part of the functions of a personal computer. Further, an external storage device 3 such as a floppy disk can be stored in the side of the main body 10. and,
A keyboard 2 for operation is arranged on the upper surface of the main body 1o.

The upper lid 20 of the main body 10 can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 10 as shown, and a display 4 is provided on the surface facing the operator when the lid 20 is in the open state. This display 4 is preferably a liquid crystal display device in order to downsize the device.

In the present invention, a telephone receiver 5 is attached to this main body 1o.
is built in so that a film can be deposited freely, and a communication function section is housed together with the processor 1 in the main body section 10.

When used as a personal computer, using the keyboard 2 and display 4, the internal processor 10 and external storage device 3 allow the user to use individual software using a programming language. It is also possible to use spreadsheets, word processor software, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, by connecting the telephone-equipped personal computer 21 in FIG. 1 to the telephone line W123 via, for example, the private exchange 22, it is possible to communicate with the subscriber telephone 26 connected to this telephone line network. Calls can be made. In this case, it is possible to use the numeric keypad or the like of the keyboard 2 as the dial function.

Furthermore, data communication with other telephone computers 25 and the host computer 24 connected to this telephone line network 23 is also possible, and telephone calls between the telephone computers 25 and the telephone receivers are also possible. Furthermore, if a voice storage function is added, communication even when the user is not present becomes possible.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by integrating the telephone function and the personal computer and making them related to each other.

In other words, saving space for installing office equipment in the office field;
Improved operability with a telephone function that uses personal computer data, added voice storage function to make contact when the caller is absent, and even allows the use of a personal computer while making a call or as a computer terminal. It is what it is.
