Description

Portable electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device.

With the rapid development of technology, many electronic devices have been developed and widely used in people's daily lives. Currently, many types of touch-sensitive electronic devices have been introduced on the market, such as smart phones or tablets. In the case of tablets, tablet computers generally use capacitive touch technology. These technologies are designed to allow users to interact directly with the tablet. For example, the user can directly touch the digital image in the screen to start the program. . Therefore, this type of operation can bring great convenience to people.

However, tablets are not as easy to type as text or laptops. The reason is that the user is accustomed to typing text by tapping the keyboard, but the tablet must write the text directly on the screen or touch the digital keyboard on the screen to input. Especially when the user needs to input a large amount of text (such as chat, or report), it is more obvious that the tablet has the disadvantage of inputting text. Therefore, if the user needs to input a large amount of text, the tablet is often connected to a keyboard, so that the user can input text in the usual way.

Although the tablet with a physical keyboard allows the user to have a familiar typing touch, it can cause inconvenience to the user. In addition, if the user wants to be able to type in an ergonomic posture, it is also necessary to carry a support stand to hold the keyboard for the user to operate. Therefore, how to improve the portability and inconvenience caused by the user carrying the portable electronic device and the keyboard at the same time will be a problem that the designer should pay attention to.

The present invention provides a portable electronic device, which improves the inconvenience of carrying and using the portable electronic device and the keyboard when the user carries the portable electronic device.

The portable electronic device disclosed in the present invention comprises a host, a support frame and an input device. The host has a display surface and a back surface. The support frame is pivoted to the host. The support frame has a receiving groove and two opposite wall surfaces forming the receiving groove. The support frame has two chutes. The two chutes are respectively located on the two walls. The support frame is pivotable relative to the main body and has a closed position that is attached to the back side and a deployed position that is relatively far from the back side. The input device is disposed in the receiving slot. A slider is disposed on each of opposite sides of the input device. The two sliders are respectively slidably disposed in the two sliding slots. The input device is slidable relative to the support frame and has a storage position at the accommodating groove and a use position relative to the accommodating groove.

According to the portable electronic device disclosed in the present invention, the support frame is pivotally disposed on the recess of the back of the mainframe, and the input device can be received in the receiving slot of the support frame, so that the portable electronic device has a closed function for the user to carry. Bit And facilitating the user to use the position of the input device, thereby improving the inconvenience of carrying and using the portable electronic device and the input device when the user carries the portable device.

The above description of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments are intended to illustrate and explain the principles of the invention, and to provide a further explanation of the scope of the invention.
