On the other hand, provided on the other side of the case is a smart phone is detachably coupled, and further comprising a second docking unit provided with a second communication terminal to be communicatively connected to the smart phone, the controller is the smart phone is the second When coupled to the docking unit and connected via the second communication terminal, the key signal input through the keypad may be output through the touch screen of the smartphone.
The controller may automatically switch the touch screen to an output mode for using the touch screen as an output device when the smartphone is coupled to the second docking unit and connected through the second communication terminal.
The second docking unit may further be provided with a second power output terminal for supplying power to the smart phone.
The second power output terminal may be provided integrally with the second communication terminal.
On the other hand, in each embodiment, it may further include a power supply provided in the case and connected to at least one of the first power output terminal or the second power output terminal.
At least one of the first docking unit and the second docking unit may be provided to adjust the size corresponding to the size of the smart phone.
Is provided detachably in the case, one of the information output via the touch screen or the mouse pointer control signal input through the touch screen from the smart phone connected to any one of the first communication terminal or the second communication terminal The display unit may further include a display unit configured to output the key signal.
Therefore, according to the smart phone removable input device according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above-described structure, there is no need to install a touch pad for the mouse function in the input device can reduce the product cost, the input device as much Since the size of the can be reduced, the portability is increased. In addition, since the smartphone can simultaneously charge the smartphone while performing the touch pad function, user convenience is increased.
In addition, the smart phone detachable input device according to another embodiment of the present invention having the above-described structure, since the smart phone can be used at the same time by charging a variety of smartphones at the same time, the second docking unit, other notebook PC, etc. You don't have to carry your devices.
