Definitions
- the invention refers to a computer incorporating components necessary for data processing, such as e.g. main board with CPU, primary and secondary memory and electronic components for driving peripheral equipment such as monitor unit, keyboard, printer, etcetera, and which computer consists of at least two easily interconnectable parts.
- the computers available on the market today are normally rather expensive and bulky. The complete units are furthermore rather heavy. Most computers are of stationary type i.e. they are not intended to be easily portable between different work sites, and they therefore are neither easy to move, to install or to start up. Installation of a computer requires a certain knowledge and also carefulness in order to avoid damages to the sensitive parts of the system. Beside the physical placement and positioning of the computer box and the monitor installation normally involves that a number of connections must be made e.g. connection of the computer to a possible network, interconnection of keyboard and computer, connection of monitor, printer, mouse, connection of mains voltage, etcetera.
- movable secondary memories For the purpose of facilitating the transfer of data from one computer to another it has earlier been developed movable secondary memories (hard discs). These systems require that a complete computer equipment is available at each work site, except for the hard disc itself, which is brought along. This means that the computer with its central processor unit (CPU), memory (RAM), mathematic processor unit (MPU) and other internal equipment such as drive electronics for the peripheral equipment, etcetera, must be available at every work station.
- CPU central processor unit
- RAM random access memory
- MPU mathematic processor unit
- other internal equipment such as drive electronics for the peripheral equipment, etcetera
- the graphic display unit will not give the same resolution and not the color quality, a fixedly installed monitor unit normally can offer.
- Display units based on liquid crystal technique are often slow and have smaller display surface.
- the portable display units furthermore require that surrounding light falling thereon is reduced and that the diplay surface is viewed straight from the front as the viewing angle is limited.
- the keyboards are also small and inconvinient to work with.
- Portable computers when not powered by built-in batteries, furthermore have to be connected to mains voltage via a cable, which then must be carried along. Then the use is limited by the distance to a voltage tap.
- the portable computes are neither a sound alternative, i.a. due to their high price, their limited diplay unit quality and due to the fact that series of connections must be made before any real work can start (connection to mains voltage, network, further peripheral equipment, such as printer, mouse, etcetera).
- the purpose of the invention is to provide a computer which eliminates the abovementioned drawbacks and combines the capacity of a powerful computer with a convenient flexible and cost effecient utilization and the use of which can be compared to having access both to a stationary and to a portable computer.
- the invention shall make possible simple installation at home, at the work site, at the customer's office, in the car, in the boat, in the weekend cottage, in the caravan, etcetera, and it also shall reduce the need of file transfer between different computer stations.
- Another purpose of the invention is to make the most expensive and valuable parts of the computer unusable to others than the owner, or to personnel authorized by the owner, and the parts shall be easy to lock for reducing the risk for theft.
- a further purpose of the invention is to make possible up-grading of older computer systems in a simple manner in order to achieve larger computer capacity at a lower cost and with additional user advantages gained with the invention. This is obtained by the features defined in the claims. Drawing list
- FIG 1 schematically shows a work station, with the parts included therein, in accordance with the invention
- Fig 2 shows more in detail, the parts included in the computer according to the invention and, Fig 3, shows a module according to the invention, with the components forming part thereof and shown partly broken up.
- FIG 1 a work station built in accordance with the invention.
- the work station mainly comprises a computer 1 and peripheral equipment 5-9.
- the computer 1 consists in turn of a docking station 2 and a module 3 inserted therein.
- a series of peripheral units such as a monitor 5, a keyboard 6, a laser printer 7, a digitizer 8 and a mouse 9 are connected to the computer 1 via connectors 4.
- the computer is further equipped with a connection intended for an external network 10.
- mains current, wich is supplied via a connector for mains voltage 11.
- the docking station 2 is mainly intended for stationary installation at a work site whereas the module 3 is detachable and intended to be easily moveable.
- the docking station 2 is provided with a recess 12, the inner measures of which mainly corresponds to the outer measures of the module 3 and in which recess 12 the module 3 can be pushed in and be connected to the docking station 2 electrically and/or as to signals e.g. via electrical connectors 13, 22 or contact-free via optical members (not shown).
- the optical system may for instance comprise signal transfer units (not shown), having transmitting and recieving functions, and being positioned in the module 3 as well as in the docking station 2, and by means of which signal transmission is effected in a contact-free mode, e.g. via optical member such as laser optics, LED technique or the like.
- the signal transmisssion is effected at a speed about 100 MBaud.
- the connecors 13, 22 are preferably of conventional type with a male part and a female part.
- the connector 13, 22 incorporates a number of contact pins, e.g. 90.
- the connector 13, 22 incorporates either an integral or separate part for transmission of drive current. For this purpose is normally required 4 contact pins.
- the connector 13 in the module 3 is preferably recessed into the casing in order to reduce the risk for mechanical damages to the contact pins, whereas the male part of the connector 22 is provided in the docking station 2, where it is well protected for mechanical damages.
- the module 3 is designed with the same installation dimensions as a normally 3.5" floppy discette drive but it may of course also be designed with larger or smaller installation dimensions. Packing of the necessary electronics within the smaller dimensions is made possible by new generation of moveable auxiliary storages (e.g. hard discs) that has been developed.
- moveable auxiliary storages e.g. hard discs
- a hard disc known as PraireTek (registrered trademark) with a 2.5" disc has the external dimensions 100 x 70 x 15 mm and accomodates 20 Mb.
- PraireTek registered trademark
- a somewhat bigger but for this purpose quite useful hard disc accomodates 40 Mb and the development goes towards hard discs having higher capacity. It is of course possible also to use stationary electronic storages as secondary memory.
- a secondary memory 14 preferably a hard disc drive (HDD), also other expensive electronics, such as main board 15 with a central processor unit (CPU) 16, a control program unit for the computer (BIOS) 17, primary storages (RAM) 18, etcetera. It also shall be possible optionally to install a spiritual coprocessor (MPU) 19 in existing base.
- the module 3 also contains an electronics unit, so called IDE interface 20, for driving/controlling the hard disc drive 14.
- An internal bus 21 interconnects the different internal units of the module 3 as to signals.
- the CPU 16 may be either a 80286 processor or a 80386SX processor having an operation frequency of e.g. 16 MHz.
- the size of the primary storage 18 is 1 Mb but it is easily expandable up to 8 Mb or more by addition of circuits in the different storage banks (RAM 1, RAM 2 etcetera).
- the connector 13 engages the connector 22 when the module 3 is pushed into the docking station 2.
- the "internal bus" (multi conductor) 21 of the module 3 thereby is connected to the "external bus” 29 of the docking station 2, which is provided on the bus board of the docking station (not shown).
- the bus board thereby consequently replaces certain functions normally maintained by the conventional main board.
- the computer bus thus extends through the module 3 and also through the docking station 2. When the module 3 and the docking station 2 are separated from each other the bus thereby is divided into two physical parts and data processing may not be accomplished.
- a grahic adapter 24 To the external bus 29 is connected a grahic adapter 24, a keyboard contact 25, a parallel port 26, a serial port 27 and a network adapter 30. There are empty board positions 31 for expansion boards.
- the connectors 13, 22 may consist of further parts, wherein beside the bus connection there is possibility directly to connect an additional hard disc drive, an additional floppy discette drive, etcetera.
- the graphic adapter 24 controls, in a manner known per se the graphic of the monitor unit 5.
- the keyboard 6 is controlled by means of a function intended therefore and integral with the CPU 16.
- Via a parallel port unit 26 and/or via the serial port unit 27 it is possible to connect e.g. a laser printer 7, a mouse 9, a digitizer 8 etcetera, to the computer.
- the network adapter 30 makes possible the communication with other computers (not shown).
- the docking station 2 includes, besides the docking space 12 itself, other electronic units necessary for the function of the computer 1.
- a power supply unit 23 is thus provided for supply of power to the docking station 2 and for controlling its peripheral equipment but also for the current requirement of the module 3.
- the current is transformed in the power supply unit 23 to voltage levels suited for the computer and its electronics, e.g. +/- 5V and +/- 12 V.
- One or more floppy discette drives may also be located in the docking station 2 as well as an additional hard disc drive 28 controlled from the module 3 via separate conduits (not shown).
- the invention may also be applied for older computers, which easily can be rebuilt to suit the new technique.
- a casette especially designed for the purpose which thereby operates as a docking station.
- the conventional main board then is exhanged for a "bus board" without CPU. This means that older computers do not have to be discarded e.g. when the capacity of the computer system has to be expanded.
- FIG 3 is shown, partly in broken up mode, an example of the appereance of a module 3 according to the invention in practice.
- Connectors 13 are provided in one gable of the module 3 for interconnection of the internal and the external bus, a possible external discette drive unit and/or an additional hard disc drive.
- the computer according to the invention is provided with a code system, which inhibits the possibility for unauthorized persons to use the computer.
- the code system is implemented in the software in known manner,* but it may also be accomplished as an electronic unit positioned in the module 3. This will reduce the attractiveness for thefts and the data security will increase.
- the invention is of course not limited to the embodiment described but may be varied within the scope of the appended claims. It thus is quite possible to build in a docking unit in the dashboard of a car, a boat or the like. It is also possible to mount a docking unit below the tabletop at the work site or just on or in the wall adjacent the work site in question. When there is to little space at the location where it is desirable to place the docking station 2, it is possible to position space requiring electronic components separately in a cover of its own, which via cables is connected to the docking station 2.
