This technology relates to an information processing apparatus. Specifically, the present invention relates to an information processing apparatus having a support function for supporting a display or the like at an angle that is easy for a user to visually recognize.
従来から、紙媒体に印刷された写真を、木や金属でできたフレームに入れて飾ることが行われている。近年は、デジタルデータの写真が増え、デジタルデータの写真をスライドショーとしてユーザに提供するデジタルフォトフレームなどと称される製品もある。これらのフレームは、壁に掛けられたり、棚に置かれたりして飾られる。
Conventionally, photographs printed on paper media have been decorated in a frame made of wood or metal. In recent years, the number of photographs of digital data has increased, and there is also a product called a digital photo frame that provides users with digital data photographs as a slide show. These frames are decorated by being hung on a wall or placed on a shelf.
例えば、特許文献1には、スライドショーを実現するモニタ装置についての記載がある。特許文献1の図4には、手に持って使用することができるモニタ装置を、支持部を開いて適当な面上に適当な傾斜角で自立させることについての記載がある。この支持部は、モニタ装置を自立させるためのU形の支持部とされ、開閉可能にモニタ装置に取り付けられている。
For example, Patent Document 1 describes a monitor device that realizes a slide show. FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1 describes that a monitor device that can be used by being held by hand is self-supporting at an appropriate inclination angle on an appropriate surface by opening a support portion. This support portion is a U-shaped support portion for allowing the monitor device to stand on its own, and is attached to the monitor device so as to be openable and closable.
このような支持部は、ユーザによりフレーム本体に取り付けられたり、フレーム本体に収納されているのが開かれたりすることで、支持部とし機能するように構成されている。写真などを収めるフレームは、基本的に一度所定の位置に飾られると、その位置から移動されることは少なく、開かれた支持部が再度閉じられたり、開閉が繰り返し行われたりする可能性は少ないと考えられる。よって、支持部は邪魔にならないように収納されたり、必要時に容易に引き出せたりするような構成とする必要性は低い。
Such a support portion is configured to function as a support portion by being attached to the frame main body by the user or being opened in the frame main body. Basically, once a frame that holds a photo or the like is decorated at a predetermined position, it is rarely moved from that position, and there is a possibility that the opened support part will be closed again or opened and closed repeatedly. It is thought that there are few. Therefore, it is not necessary to configure the support portion so as not to get in the way or be easily pulled out when necessary.

<情報処理装置の外観の構成>
図1、図2は、本技術を適用した情報処理装置の一実施の形態の外観の構成を示す図である。情報処理装置100は、本体101と入出力部102が、別体で構成され、無線でデータの授受を行う構成とされている。本体101の表面には、表示部111が設けられている。入出力部102の表面には、キーボード121が設けられている。 <External configuration of information processing apparatus>
1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating an external configuration of an embodiment of an information processing apparatus to which the present technology is applied. Theinformation processing apparatus 100 is configured such that a main body 101 and an input / output unit 102 are configured separately, and wirelessly exchange data. A display unit 111 is provided on the surface of the main body 101. A keyboard 121 is provided on the surface of the input / output unit 102.
図1、図2は、本技術を適用した情報処理装置の一実施の形態の外観の構成を示す図である。情報処理装置100は、本体101と入出力部102が、別体で構成され、無線でデータの授受を行う構成とされている。本体101の表面には、表示部111が設けられている。入出力部102の表面には、キーボード121が設けられている。 <External configuration of information processing apparatus>
1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating an external configuration of an embodiment of an information processing apparatus to which the present technology is applied. The
キーボード121の操作データは、無線通信で、本体101側に供給される。このように、本実施の形態における情報処理装置100は、本体101と入出力部102に分けられ、データの授受を無線で行う構成とされている。このように本体101と入出力部102は、離れた位置に設置できるように構成されている。
The operation data of the keyboard 121 is supplied to the main body 101 side by wireless communication. As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is divided into the main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 and is configured to transmit and receive data wirelessly. As described above, the main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 are configured so as to be installed at distant positions.
例えば、入出力部102のキーボード121が操作されて入力されたテキストは、本体101の表示部111に表示される。
For example, text input by operating the keyboard 121 of the input / output unit 102 is displayed on the display unit 111 of the main body 101.
なお、ここでは、無線でデータの授受を行うとして説明を続けるが、USB(Universal Serial Bus)ケーブルなどの所定のケーブルで接続され、データの授受が行われるようにしても良い。
Although the description will be continued here assuming that data is exchanged wirelessly, the data may be exchanged by connecting with a predetermined cable such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable.
入出力部102として、ここではキーボード121を備える構成を一例として説明したが、タッチパッド、ペンタブレットなどを備える構成や、それらの組み合わせ、例えば、キーボード121とタッチパッドを備える構成とすることも可能である。
Although the configuration including the keyboard 121 is described as an example of the input / output unit 102 here, a configuration including a touch pad, a pen tablet, or a combination thereof, for example, a configuration including a keyboard 121 and a touch pad may be used. It is.
また、ここでは、入出力部102とし、入力装置を一例として説明を続けるが、スピーカーなどの出力装置であっても良い。例えば、本体101からのデータを受信し、音楽を出力するスピーカーとして、入出力部102が構成されていても良い。勿論、キーボード121とスピーカーから構成されるようにし、入力装置および出力装置として機能するように、入出力部102が構成されるようにすることも可能である。
Further, here, the input / output unit 102 and the input device as an example will be described, but an output device such as a speaker may be used. For example, the input / output unit 102 may be configured as a speaker that receives data from the main body 101 and outputs music. Of course, it is also possible to configure the input / output unit 102 so as to include a keyboard 121 and a speaker and to function as an input device and an output device.
またここでは、入出力部102により入力が行われるとして説明を続けるが、例えば、本体101側にも情報を入力できる装置が備えられるような構成とすることも可能である。例えば、表示部111の表面に、タッチパネル(不図示)を設け、その本体101に設けられたタッチパネルが操作されることで、情報が入力される構成とすることも可能である。
Here, the description will be continued on the assumption that the input is performed by the input / output unit 102. However, for example, a configuration in which a device capable of inputting information is also provided on the main body 101 side is also possible. For example, a configuration in which information is input by providing a touch panel (not shown) on the surface of the display unit 111 and operating the touch panel provided on the main body 101 may be employed.
タッチパネルが表示部111に設けられた構成とした場合、本体101は、例えばタブレットなどと称されるコンピュータとして単体で動作する装置として用いることができる。
When the touch panel is provided in the display unit 111, the main body 101 can be used as a device that operates alone as a computer called a tablet, for example.
情報処理装置100の本体101と入出力部102は、重ね合わせることができる構成とされている。詳細は図示しないが、本体101と入出力部102を重ね合わせたとき、本体101に設けられている端子112と、入出力部102に設けられている端子122は接触するように構成されている。端子112と端子122の一方は凹状に構成され、他方は凸状に構成されているため、一方が他方に一部が収納されるような構成となっている。
The main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 of the information processing apparatus 100 can be overlapped. Although details are not shown, when the main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 are overlapped, the terminal 112 provided on the main body 101 and the terminal 122 provided on the input / output unit 102 are configured to contact each other. . Since one of the terminal 112 and the terminal 122 is configured in a concave shape and the other is configured in a convex shape, one of the terminals 112 and the other is configured to be accommodated in the other.
端子112と端子112が接触することで、入出力部102に備えられているバッテリー(不図示)が充電される構成とされている。本体101と入出力部102は、それぞれバッテリーを内蔵しており、本体101の方が、入出力部102よりも容量の大きいバッテリーを内蔵している。
When the terminal 112 and the terminal 112 are in contact, a battery (not shown) provided in the input / output unit 102 is charged. The main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 each have a built-in battery, and the main body 101 has a battery with a larger capacity than the input / output unit 102.
本体101と入出力部102が通信する際に必要とされる電力は、それぞれが内蔵しているバッテリーから供給される。よって、入出力部102のバッテリーの容量が減り、端子112と端子122が接続状態にあるときには、本体101のバッテリーから入出力部102のバッテリーに電力が供給され、入出力部102のバッテリーが充電されるように構成されている。
The power required when the main body 101 and the input / output unit 102 communicate with each other is supplied from the battery built in each. Therefore, when the battery capacity of the input / output unit 102 is reduced and the terminal 112 and the terminal 122 are in a connected state, power is supplied from the battery of the main body 101 to the battery of the input / output unit 102 and the battery of the input / output unit 102 is charged. It is configured to be.
図2は、情報処理装置100の裏面の構成を示す図である。本体101の裏面には、支持部131が設けられている。この支持部131は、後述するように、本体101に対して開閉自在に設けられており、図2では、閉じられた状態を示している。図3に示すように、支持部131が開かれると、その支持部131により、本体101が支持される状態となり、例えば卓上に、所定の角度を有した状態で、本体101を置いて利用することができる状態とされる。
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the back surface of the information processing apparatus 100. A support portion 131 is provided on the back surface of the main body 101. As will be described later, the support portion 131 is provided so as to be openable and closable with respect to the main body 101, and FIG. 2 shows a closed state. As shown in FIG. 3, when the support portion 131 is opened, the main body 101 is supported by the support portion 131. For example, the main body 101 is placed on a table with a predetermined angle and used. It is in a state that can be.
例えば、ユーザは、所定の角度を有して卓上に置かれた表示部111を見ながら、入出力部102のキーボード121を操作して、所定の処理を行うことができる。
For example, the user can perform a predetermined process by operating the keyboard 121 of the input / output unit 102 while viewing the display unit 111 placed on a table with a predetermined angle.
支持部131は、軸221を備えており、軸221が、支持部131を開状態から閉状態へ、または開状態から閉状態へと回動可能に支持している。軸221については、図15以降の図を参照して後述する。
The support part 131 includes a shaft 221, and the shaft 221 supports the support part 131 so as to be rotatable from an open state to a closed state or from an open state to a closed state. The shaft 221 will be described later with reference to FIGS.
入出力部102の裏面には、支持部は設けられていないが、例えば、入出力部102がスピーカーであるような場合、卓上に所定の角度を有して立てられるように、支持部を設ける構成とすることも可能である。
Although no support is provided on the back surface of the input / output unit 102, for example, when the input / output unit 102 is a speaker, a support unit is provided so that the input / output unit 102 can stand on the table with a predetermined angle. A configuration is also possible.
なお、情報処理装置100の側面は図示しないが、例えば、メモリーカードスロットや、USB端子などが設けられている。
Although the side surface of the information processing apparatus 100 is not illustrated, for example, a memory card slot, a USB terminal, and the like are provided.
<支持部の構成>
次に支持部131の構成について説明する。支持部131は、使用時には開かれた状態とされ、不使用時には本体101に収納されるように構成されている。 <Structure of support part>
Next, the structure of thesupport part 131 is demonstrated. The support portion 131 is configured to be in an open state when used, and to be stored in the main body 101 when not used.
次に支持部131の構成について説明する。支持部131は、使用時には開かれた状態とされ、不使用時には本体101に収納されるように構成されている。 <Structure of support part>
Next, the structure of the
図4は、図3に示した情報処理装置100の本体101の裏面を他の角度から見たときの図である。図4に示した本体101においても、支持部131は開いた状態とされている。本体101には、支持部131を収納する収納部132が設けられており、支持部131が閉じられたときには、この収納部132に支持部131が収まるように構成されている。
FIG. 4 is a diagram when the back surface of the main body 101 of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 3 is viewed from another angle. Also in the main body 101 shown in FIG. 4, the support portion 131 is in an open state. The main body 101 is provided with a storage portion 132 that stores the support portion 131. The support portion 131 is configured to be accommodated in the storage portion 132 when the support portion 131 is closed.
収納部132の下部であり、本体101の下部でもある位置に、ボタン141が設けられている。このボタン141は、突起142-1と突起142-2の動作させるときに操作され、操作部として機能するボタンである。以下、突起142-1と突起142-2を個々に区別する必要が無い場合、単に突起142と記述する。他の部分も同様に記載する。また、突起142を動作させるとは、後述するように、ボタン141が操作されたときに物理的な構造や電気的な構造により、突起142を動かすことを意味する。
A button 141 is provided at a position which is a lower part of the storage unit 132 and a lower part of the main body 101. The button 141 is a button that is operated when the protrusion 142-1 and the protrusion 142-2 are operated and functions as an operation unit. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the protrusion 142-1 and the protrusion 142-2 from each other, they are simply referred to as the protrusion 142. Other parts are described in the same manner. In addition, operating the protrusion 142 means that the protrusion 142 is moved by a physical structure or an electrical structure when the button 141 is operated, as will be described later.
支持部131には、突起142に対応する位置に受け部143が設けられている。突起142-1に対応するのは受け部143-1であり、突起142-2に対応するのは受け部143-2である。突起142-1は、受け部143-1に係合し、突起142-2は、受け部143-2に係合する。突起142が受け部143に係合することで、支持部131は、本体101に係止される。
The support part 131 is provided with a receiving part 143 at a position corresponding to the protrusion 142. The receiving part 143-1 corresponds to the protrusion 142-1, and the receiving part 143-2 corresponds to the protrusion 142-2. The protrusion 142-1 is engaged with the receiving portion 143-1, and the protrusion 142-2 is engaged with the receiving portion 143-2. The support part 131 is locked to the main body 101 by the protrusion 142 engaging with the receiving part 143.
ボタン141が操作されると、係合していた突起142が係合しない状態となり、支持部131の係止状態が解除される。係止状態が解除されることで、支持部131は、本体101に対して所定の角度を有して解放された状態となり、卓上などに本体101を置くことが可能な状態となる。
When the button 141 is operated, the engaged projection 142 is not engaged and the locked state of the support portion 131 is released. When the locked state is released, the support portion 131 is released at a predetermined angle with respect to the main body 101, and the main body 101 can be placed on a tabletop or the like.
<支持部の開閉>
ところで、このような支持部131は、ユーザがボタン141を直接的に操作、例えば、押下しながら、支持部131を本体101から引き出すような操作を行うことで、支持部131を開くことが考えられる。しかしながら、特に、情報処理装置100が携帯可能な端末である場合、携帯時には支持部131は本体101に収納され、必要に応じて、開かれる。よって、ユーザの使い方にもよるが、比較的頻繁に支持部131の開閉が行われる可能性がある。 <Opening and closing of support part>
By the way, such asupport part 131 is considered that the user opens the support part 131 by operating the button 141 directly, for example, by pulling out the support part 131 from the main body 101 while pressing the button 141. It is done. However, particularly when the information processing apparatus 100 is a portable terminal, the support unit 131 is accommodated in the main body 101 and is opened as necessary when being carried. Therefore, although depending on how the user is used, the support 131 may be opened and closed relatively frequently.
ところで、このような支持部131は、ユーザがボタン141を直接的に操作、例えば、押下しながら、支持部131を本体101から引き出すような操作を行うことで、支持部131を開くことが考えられる。しかしながら、特に、情報処理装置100が携帯可能な端末である場合、携帯時には支持部131は本体101に収納され、必要に応じて、開かれる。よって、ユーザの使い方にもよるが、比較的頻繁に支持部131の開閉が行われる可能性がある。 <Opening and closing of support part>
By the way, such a
よって、上記したように、ボタン141を押下しながら、支持部131を本体101から引き出すような操作を行うことで、支持部131を開くよりも、より支持部131の開閉が、容易に行えるような構成とされていることが好ましい。そこで、ボタン141が操作されたとき、ユーザの手を煩わせずに支持部131が開かれるような構成とする。一例として、磁力を用いる場合を図5に示す。
Therefore, as described above, by performing an operation of pulling out the support part 131 from the main body 101 while pressing the button 141, the support part 131 can be opened and closed more easily than when the support part 131 is opened. It is preferable that the configuration is such. Therefore, a configuration is adopted in which when the button 141 is operated, the support portion 131 is opened without bothering the user. As an example, the case of using magnetic force is shown in FIG.
支持部131に磁石161を設け、収納部132に磁石162を設ける。磁石161と磁石162は、支持部131が収納部132に収納されているときに、互いに重なり合う位置に配置されている。図5に示したように、磁石161と磁石162を、ユーザが視認できるように設け、デザインの一部としても良いし、支持部131と本体101に、それぞれ内蔵され、ユーザが視認できないように設けられるようにしても良い。
The magnet 161 is provided in the support part 131, and the magnet 162 is provided in the storage part 132. The magnet 161 and the magnet 162 are disposed at positions that overlap each other when the support portion 131 is stored in the storage portion 132. As shown in FIG. 5, the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 may be provided so as to be visible to the user and may be part of the design, or may be incorporated in the support portion 131 and the main body 101 so that the user cannot see. It may be provided.
磁石161と磁石162は、N極同士またはS極同士が向き合った状態で配置される。よって、図5に矢印で示したように、磁石161と磁石162との間には反発力が働く。この反発力は、支持部131が本体101に係止されているときには押さえ込まれているが、係止が解放された時点で反発力も解放され、その反発力により、支持部131は動き、本体101に対して開いた状態となる。すなわち、支持部131は、磁石による反発力により可動し、本体101に対して開いた状態となる。
The magnet 161 and the magnet 162 are arranged in a state where the N poles or the S poles face each other. Therefore, a repulsive force acts between the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 as shown by the arrows in FIG. This repulsive force is pressed when the support portion 131 is locked to the main body 101, but when the lock is released, the repulsive force is also released, and the repelling force causes the support portion 131 to move and the main body 101 to move. Will be open for. That is, the support part 131 is moved by the repulsive force of the magnet and is in an open state with respect to the main body 101.
このような構成とすることで、ユーザは、ボタン141を操作するだけで、支持部131の係止状態を解除し、支持部131を開くことが可能となる。よって、ユーザは、支持部131を容易に開くことができる。
With such a configuration, the user can release the locked state of the support part 131 and open the support part 131 only by operating the button 141. Therefore, the user can open the support part 131 easily.
また、支持部131を開くときのボタン141への操作として、ボタン141を本体101方向に押下する操作とすることで、図6に示すような使用が可能となる。
Further, as an operation to the button 141 when opening the support portion 131, an operation as shown in FIG.
図6のAに示した状態は、ユーザが手で本体101を保持している状態である。このような状態から、図6のBに示したように、ユーザは、卓上に本体101を押しつける。このとき、ボタン141が卓上に押しつけられることになる。すなわち、このとき、ボタン141が本体101方向に押下される。
The state shown in FIG. 6A is a state where the user is holding the main body 101 by hand. From such a state, as shown in FIG. 6B, the user presses the main body 101 against the table. At this time, the button 141 is pressed against the desktop. That is, at this time, the button 141 is pressed toward the main body 101.
ボタン141が本体101方向に押下されることで、支持部131の係止状態が解除され、図6のCに示すように、支持部131が開かれる。ユーザは、卓上に、本体101を軽く押し当てるだけで、支持部131を開いた状態にすることができる。その後、図6のDに示すように、本体101の下部と、支持部131が卓上に接することで、本体101は、所定の角度を有した状態で卓上に立てられ、自立する。
When the button 141 is pressed in the direction of the main body 101, the locked state of the support portion 131 is released, and the support portion 131 is opened as shown in FIG. 6C. The user can open the support 131 by simply pressing the main body 101 lightly on the table. After that, as shown in FIG. 6D, the lower part of the main body 101 and the support portion 131 are in contact with the tabletop, so that the main body 101 stands on the table with a predetermined angle and becomes independent.
ユーザは、このようにして、本体101を卓上に軽く押し当てるという操作だけで、支持部131を使える状態にすることができる。図6のDに示したように、本体101を卓上に自立させるとき、本体101の傾斜は、支持部131と本体101とのなす角を調整することで行える。支持部131が一旦開いた後は、ユーザがその開き具合を調整することができるように構成することで、ユーザが所望の傾斜で、本体101を卓上で自立させることが可能となる。
In this way, the user can make the support unit 131 usable only by an operation of lightly pressing the main body 101 against the tabletop. As shown in D of FIG. 6, when the main body 101 is made to stand on the table, the main body 101 can be tilted by adjusting an angle formed by the support portion 131 and the main body 101. After the support part 131 is once opened, the user can make the main body 101 stand on the table with a desired inclination by configuring the user to adjust the degree of opening.
このように、ボタン141が押下されると、支持部131の係止状態が解除される構成とした場合、ボタン141と突起142は、一例として、図7に示すような構成とすることができる。図7のAは、ボタン141が押下されていないときのボタン141と突起142の位置関係を示し、図7のBは、ボタン141が押下されたときのボタン141と突起142の位置関係を示す。
As described above, when the button 141 is pressed, when the locking state of the support portion 131 is released, the button 141 and the protrusion 142 can be configured as shown in FIG. 7 as an example. . 7A shows the positional relationship between the button 141 and the protrusion 142 when the button 141 is not pressed, and FIG. 7B shows the positional relationship between the button 141 and the protrusion 142 when the button 141 is pressed. .
突起142は、図7に示すように、軸181を軸として回転する機構を有し、一部が収納部132内に突出し、その他の部分は、本体101に内蔵され、ユーザが視認できないような構成とされている。突起142は、収納部132に突起として突出する突起部分、軸181を軸として回動する回動部分、その回動する部分と突起の部分を接続する接続部分から構成され、例えば、コの字型やU字型などと称される形状に近い形状とされている。
As shown in FIG. 7, the protrusion 142 has a mechanism that rotates around the shaft 181, and a part of the protrusion 142 protrudes into the storage part 132, and the other part is built in the main body 101 so that the user cannot see it. It is configured. The protrusion 142 includes a protruding portion that protrudes as a protrusion in the storage portion 132, a rotating portion that rotates about the shaft 181 and a connecting portion that connects the rotating portion and the protruding portion. The shape is close to a shape called a mold or a U-shape.
ボタン141の一部は、突起142の回動部分の一部分に接触または接触しないが近傍に位置する。図7のBに示すように、ボタン141が押下されると、ボタン141は、突起142の回動部分を押し上げるが、その力は、軸181を軸として回動する力に変換される。その結果、突起142は、回動し、図7のBに示したように、突起142-1と突起142-2は、開いたような状態になる。この状態になると、収納部132に突出していた突起142は、本体101内に収納され、突起142と受け部143の係合状態が解除される。
A part of the button 141 is in contact with or not in contact with a part of the rotating part of the protrusion 142 but is located in the vicinity. As shown in FIG. 7B, when the button 141 is pressed, the button 141 pushes up the rotating portion of the protrusion 142, but the force is converted into a force rotating around the shaft 181. As a result, the protrusion 142 rotates, and the protrusion 142-1 and the protrusion 142-2 are opened as shown in FIG. 7B. In this state, the protrusion 142 that protrudes from the storage portion 132 is stored in the main body 101, and the engagement state between the protrusion 142 and the receiving portion 143 is released.
またボタン141は、表示部111の底面のうち、表示部111の前面からみた幅方向において略中心に位置づけられている。
The button 141 is positioned substantially at the center of the bottom surface of the display unit 111 in the width direction viewed from the front surface of the display unit 111.
このような物理的な構造により、ボタン141と突起142が連動して動作する構造を適用しても良いし、他の構造を適用しても良い。
A structure in which the button 141 and the protrusion 142 operate in association with each other by such a physical structure may be applied, or another structure may be applied.
図5を参照して説明したように、磁石の反発力を利用して支持部131が開かれるようにすることで、支持部131の開閉を容易に行うことが可能となる。ここでは、磁石を用いた例を挙げて説明したが、支持部131への係止が解除されたときに、支持部131を本体101側から離れる方向に力が加えられるような構成であればよい。
As described with reference to FIG. 5, the support portion 131 can be easily opened and closed by using the repulsive force of the magnet to open the support portion 131. Here, an example using a magnet has been described, but if the structure is such that a force is applied in a direction away from the main body 101 when the locking to the support 131 is released. Good.
例えば、バネの弾性力を用いた構成とすることも可能である。支持部131または収納部132のどちらか一方にバネを装着し、支持部131の係止状態が解除されたとき、バネの弾性力により、支持部131が開かれるように構成される。
For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration using the elastic force of a spring. A spring is attached to either the support part 131 or the storage part 132, and the support part 131 is configured to be opened by the elastic force of the spring when the locked state of the support part 131 is released.
また、電磁石を用いても良い。例えば、支持部131の磁石161を永久磁石とし、収納部132の磁石162を電磁石とする。支持部131が収納部132に収納されているときには、磁石161と磁石162が互いに引き合うように、電磁石としての磁石162に電流が流される。そして、ボタン141が押下されたとき、磁石162への電流の向きが反転され、磁石161と磁石162が互いに反発しあう状態にされる。
An electromagnet may also be used. For example, the magnet 161 of the support part 131 is a permanent magnet, and the magnet 162 of the storage part 132 is an electromagnet. When the support part 131 is stored in the storage part 132, an electric current is passed through the magnet 162 as an electromagnet so that the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 attract each other. When the button 141 is pressed, the direction of the current to the magnet 162 is reversed, and the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 are repelled from each other.
磁石161と磁石162が反発しあう状態となることで、支持部131は、本体101に対して開いた状態となる。この場合、支持部131を係止するための、突起142や受け部143を省略した構成とすることが可能である。
The support part 131 will be in the state opened with respect to the main body 101 because it will be in the state in which the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 repel each other. In this case, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the protrusion 142 and the receiving portion 143 for locking the support portion 131 are omitted.
また、ボタン141が押下されたときには、磁石162への電力の供給が遮断されるようにしても良い。この場合、電力が遮断されることで、磁力が消滅し、磁石161と磁石162による引き合う状態が解除される。引き合う状態が解除されることで、本体101を少し傾けただけで、支持部131が開く状態となる。このように、支持部131が開きやすい状態になるための構成であっても良い。
Further, when the button 141 is pressed, the power supply to the magnet 162 may be cut off. In this case, the power is interrupted, the magnetic force disappears, and the attracting state by the magnet 161 and the magnet 162 is released. By releasing the attracting state, the support part 131 is opened only by slightly tilting the main body 101. As described above, the support 131 may be configured to be easily opened.
また物理的な機構により、支持部131が押し出されるような構成としても良い。例えば、図示はしないが、ボタン141が押下されたとき、支持部131を収納部132から押し出す方向に突出する部材(突出部と記述する)を本体101の収納部132の所定の位置に設ける。
Further, the support 131 may be pushed out by a physical mechanism. For example, although not shown, a member that protrudes in the direction in which the support portion 131 is pushed out from the storage portion 132 when the button 141 is pressed (described as a protrusion) is provided at a predetermined position of the storage portion 132 of the main body 101.
支持部131が収納部132に収納されているときには、突起142と受け部143により支持部131は、本体101に係止された状態とされ、ボタン141が操作されたとき、その係止状態が解除されるとともに、本体101に設けられた突出部(不図示)が突出し、支持部131を押し出すような構成とすることも可能である。
When the support part 131 is stored in the storage part 132, the support part 131 is locked to the main body 101 by the protrusion 142 and the receiving part 143, and when the button 141 is operated, the locked state is changed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a protrusion (not shown) provided on the main body 101 protrudes and the support 131 is pushed out while being released.
このように、表示部111と、その表示部111の裏面に、表示部111を支持する支持部131が設けられており、その支持部131を、表示部111に対して閉状態から開状態へと回動させる可動部として機能する磁石161,162が設けられ、さらに表示部111の底面に備えられ、押圧されることによって、支持部131を表示部111に対して閉状態に固定された状態から回動可能な状態へと解放する操作部としてのボタン141が備えられている。そして、その操作部としてのボタン141が押圧されたとき、可動部としての磁石161,162により支持部131が表示部111に対して開状態へと回動される構成とされている。
As described above, the display unit 111 and the support unit 131 that supports the display unit 111 are provided on the back surface of the display unit 111, and the support unit 131 is changed from the closed state to the open state with respect to the display unit 111. Magnets 161 and 162 functioning as movable parts to be rotated are provided, and are further provided on the bottom surface of the display unit 111 and are fixed to the display unit 111 in a closed state by being pressed. A button 141 is provided as an operation unit for releasing the device from a rotating state to a rotatable state. And when the button 141 as the operation part is pressed, the support part 131 is rotated to the open state with respect to the display part 111 by the magnets 161 and 162 as the movable part.
このような構成とされることで、簡便な操作で、支持部131が本体101に対して開くための機構を、本技術によれば、ユーザに提供することが可能となる。またこのようなことを可能とするために、ボタン141は、表示部111の底面のうち、表示部111の前面からみた幅方向において略中心に位置づけられている。
With this configuration, according to the present technology, it is possible to provide a user with a mechanism for opening the support portion 131 with respect to the main body 101 with a simple operation. In order to enable this, the button 141 is positioned substantially at the center of the bottom surface of the display unit 111 in the width direction viewed from the front surface of the display unit 111.
また、ボタン151は、表示部111の底面のうち、表示部111の前面からみた奥行き方向において中心よりも表示パネルが露呈する側にオフセットして配置されている。よって、図6を参照して説明したように、本体101を所定の平面に押下することで、支持部101が開く構成とすることができる。
Also, the button 151 is disposed offset from the center of the bottom surface of the display unit 111 to the side where the display panel is exposed in the depth direction as viewed from the front surface of the display unit 111. Therefore, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the support portion 101 can be opened by pressing the main body 101 to a predetermined plane.
<支持部の開閉に係わる誤操作の防止機構>
このように、簡便な操作で、支持部131が本体101に対して開く構成とされている。ところで、情報処理装置100が携帯可能な端末である場合、携帯時には支持部131は本体101に収納された状態で携帯されているときに、ボタン141が操作されると、支持部131が開いた状態となってしまうことが考えられる。すなわち、ユーザが所望していないときに、支持部131が開いた状態となってしまう可能性がある。そのようなことが発生しないような仕組みについて説明する。 <Mechanism to prevent incorrect operation related to opening / closing of support part>
In this way, thesupport 131 is configured to open with respect to the main body 101 by a simple operation. By the way, when the information processing apparatus 100 is a portable terminal, the support unit 131 is opened when the button 141 is operated when the support unit 131 is carried in a state of being housed in the main body 101 when being carried. It is conceivable that it will be in a state. That is, when the user does not desire, the support part 131 may be in an open state. A mechanism for preventing such a situation from occurring will be described.
このように、簡便な操作で、支持部131が本体101に対して開く構成とされている。ところで、情報処理装置100が携帯可能な端末である場合、携帯時には支持部131は本体101に収納された状態で携帯されているときに、ボタン141が操作されると、支持部131が開いた状態となってしまうことが考えられる。すなわち、ユーザが所望していないときに、支持部131が開いた状態となってしまう可能性がある。そのようなことが発生しないような仕組みについて説明する。 <Mechanism to prevent incorrect operation related to opening / closing of support part>
In this way, the
図8に示すように、ボタン141は、横方向にスライドする構成とされる。ボタン141が位置P1に位置するときには、ボタン141は、押下できないようにロックされた状態とされる。ボタン141が位置P2に位置するときには、ロックが解除された状態となり、ボタン141は、押下できる状態とされる。このように、ボタン141が押下できない状態にすることができる構成とすることで、支持部131がユーザの意に反して開くようなことを防ぐことができる。
As shown in FIG. 8, the button 141 is configured to slide in the horizontal direction. When the button 141 is located at the position P1, the button 141 is locked so that it cannot be pressed. When the button 141 is positioned at the position P2, the lock is released, and the button 141 can be pressed. In this manner, by adopting a configuration in which the button 141 cannot be pressed, it is possible to prevent the support portion 131 from opening against the user's will.
このように構成した場合、ステップS1として、ユーザは、ボタン141を位置P1から位置P2にスライドする。ステップS2として、ユーザは、例えば、図6を参照して説明したようにして、ボタン141を押下(操作)する。その結果、ステップS3として、支持部131が開く。このような処理において、ステップS1におけるスライドという操作がなされなければ、仮に、ステップS2におけるボタン141の押下という操作が行われたとしても、ステップS3における支持部131が開くことない。
When configured in this way, in step S1, the user slides the button 141 from the position P1 to the position P2. In step S2, the user presses (operates) the button 141, for example, as described with reference to FIG. As a result, the support part 131 opens as step S3. In such a process, if the operation of sliding in step S1 is not performed, even if the operation of pressing the button 141 in step S2 is performed, the support part 131 in step S3 is not opened.
ここでは、ボタン141をスライドする構成とし、ボタン141の誤操作を防ぐことを説明したが、他の構成により、ボタン141の誤操作が防がれるようにしても良い。
Here, the configuration is described in which the button 141 is slid to prevent the button 141 from being erroneously operated. However, other configurations may prevent the button 141 from being erroneously operated.
上記したようにして支持部131が開かれ、本体101が卓上に置かれた状態のときに、ボタン141が、ユーザの意に反して押下されてしまう可能性がある。このことについて図9を参照して説明する。
When the support part 131 is opened as described above and the main body 101 is placed on the table, the button 141 may be pressed against the user's will. This will be described with reference to FIG.
図9のAは、支持部131が開かれ、本体101が卓上で自立している状態を、本体101の側面から見たときの図である。図9のAに示すように、本体101が所定の傾斜を有して卓上で自立しているとき、本体101の底面に設けられたボタン141が卓上と接触してしまう可能性がある。本体101の傾斜が90度に近いほど、ボタン141が卓上と接触してしまう可能性が高くなる。
9A is a view of the state in which the support part 131 is opened and the main body 101 is standing on the table when viewed from the side surface of the main body 101. FIG. As shown in FIG. 9A, when the main body 101 has a predetermined inclination and is standing on the table, there is a possibility that the button 141 provided on the bottom surface of the main body 101 comes into contact with the table. The closer the inclination of the main body 101 is to 90 degrees, the higher the possibility that the button 141 will come into contact with the desktop.
ボタン141が卓上と接触することで、本体101の自立状態が不安定となり、がたついてしまったり、場合によっては、本体101が倒れてしまったりする可能性が高まる。例えば、本体101にタッチパネルが装着されており、本体101に直接接触して操作がされるような場合、このような本体101の不安定な状態では、操作がしづらい、操作時に本体101を倒してしまうなどの好ましくない状態が発生する可能性がある。
When the button 141 comes into contact with the tabletop, the self-supporting state of the main body 101 becomes unstable, and the possibility that the main body 101 falls due to rattling or in some cases increases. For example, when a touch panel is attached to the main body 101 and an operation is performed by directly touching the main body 101, the operation is difficult in such an unstable state of the main body 101, and the main body 101 is tilted during the operation. There is a possibility that an unfavorable state occurs.
そこで、本体101が卓上で自立しているときに、ボタン141が卓上に接触しないようにするために、図9のBに示すように、ボタン141を、表示部111の底面のうち、表示部111の前面からみた奥行き方向において中心よりも表示部111が露呈する側にオフセットして配置され琉ように構成しても良い。このように位置にボタン141を配置することで、図9のBに示したように、ボタン141が卓上に接するようなことを防ぐことが可能となる。
Therefore, in order to prevent the button 141 from coming into contact with the tabletop when the main body 101 is standing on the tabletop, as shown in FIG. The display unit 111 may be arranged so as to be offset from the center in the depth direction as viewed from the front surface of the head 111. By arranging the button 141 at the position in this way, it is possible to prevent the button 141 from coming into contact with the desktop as shown in FIG. 9B.
また、本体101が卓上で自立しているときに、ボタン141が卓上に接触しないようにするために、図10のAに示すような構成としても良い。すなわち、突部201を設ける。突部201は、本体101のボタン141が設けられている面(底面)と同じ面上にあり、支持部131側に設けられる。
Further, in order to prevent the button 141 from coming into contact with the desktop when the main body 101 is standing on the desktop, a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, the protrusion 201 is provided. The protrusion 201 is on the same surface as the surface (bottom surface) on which the button 141 of the main body 101 is provided, and is provided on the support portion 131 side.
突部201は、図10のBに示すように、本体101の底面の左側と右側にそれぞれ設けても良い。図10のBを参照するに、突部201-1は、図中、本体101の左側に備えられ、突部201-2は、本体101の右側に備えられている。図10のBでは2個の突部201が備えられる例を示したが、例えばさらに中央にも備えるようにしたり、連続して複数の突部、例えば、突部201-1と突部201-2がそれぞれ3個の突部から構成されるようにしたりすることも可能である。
The protrusions 201 may be provided on the left side and the right side of the bottom surface of the main body 101 as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 10B, the protrusion 201-1 is provided on the left side of the main body 101 in the drawing, and the protrusion 201-2 is provided on the right side of the main body 101. FIG. 10B shows an example in which two protrusions 201 are provided. However, for example, the protrusions 201 may be further provided in the center, or a plurality of protrusions, for example, the protrusions 201-1 and 201- It is also possible for each of the two to be composed of three protrusions.
また図10のCに示すように、本体101の底面の支持部131側に突部201を直線形状で設けても良い。
Further, as shown in FIG. 10C, the protrusion 201 may be provided in a linear shape on the support portion 131 side of the bottom surface of the main body 101.
このように、表示部111(本体101)の底面には、少なくとも1つの突起形状(突部201)が備えられ、支持部131が開状態において表示部111が平面に設置された場合には、突起形状の突部201と支持部131が平面に接することで、本体101が自立する構成とされている。
As described above, the bottom surface of the display unit 111 (main body 101) is provided with at least one protrusion shape (projection 201), and when the display unit 111 is installed on a flat surface in a state where the support unit 131 is open, The projection 101 and the support 131 are in contact with a flat surface, so that the main body 101 is self-supporting.
上記した突部201は、本体101の筐体と同一の材質で構成し、本体101と一体形成されていても良い。また突部201は、ゴムなどの衝撃を吸収する材質で構成されていても良い。突部201は、デザイン的に本体101に溶け込み、ユーザが突部201を突部201として意識しないようなデザイン(大きさや形)で構成される。
The protrusion 201 described above may be made of the same material as the casing of the main body 101 and may be integrally formed with the main body 101. Further, the protrusion 201 may be made of a material that absorbs an impact such as rubber. The protrusion 201 is configured in such a design (size and shape) that the design melts into the main body 101 and the user does not recognize the protrusion 201 as the protrusion 201.
このような突部201を設けることで、本体101を卓上に置いたとき、図11に示すように、ボタン141が卓上に接触しないようにすることができる。図11を参照するに、突部201が卓上に接し、ボタン141は、卓上と本体101の間の空間に収まり、卓上には接触していない。
By providing such a protrusion 201, as shown in FIG. 11, when the main body 101 is placed on the desktop, the button 141 can be prevented from contacting the desktop. Referring to FIG. 11, the protrusion 201 is in contact with the desktop, and the button 141 is in the space between the desktop and the main body 101 and is not in contact with the desktop.
また仮に本体101に力が加えられたとしても、突部201により、ボタン141が卓上に衝突することを防ぐことが可能となる。衝突するような場合であっても、その衝撃を、突部201により緩和することが可能となるため、ボタン141の破損などの不具合が発生する可能性を低くすることが可能となる。
Also, even if a force is applied to the main body 101, the projections 201 can prevent the button 141 from colliding with the desktop. Even in the case of a collision, the impact can be mitigated by the protrusion 201, so that it is possible to reduce the possibility of problems such as breakage of the button 141.
このように、突部201が卓上と接触する構成とすることで、本体101が、がたついてしまうような不安定な状態になることを防ぎ、ボタン141を保護することが可能となる。
As described above, by adopting a configuration in which the protrusion 201 is in contact with the desktop, it is possible to prevent the main body 101 from being in an unstable state such as rattling and protect the button 141.
<支持部の他の形状>
ここで支持部131の他の形状について説明を加える。図12のAは、上記した支持部131を有する本体101を示している。図12のBは、コの字形状の支持部131Bを示している。図12のBに示した支持部131Bは、本体101の底辺より少し短い辺を有しているため、支持部131Bを開いて本体101を自立させるとき、その状態をより安定したものとすることができる。 <Other shapes of support parts>
Here, another shape of thesupport portion 131 will be described. FIG. 12A shows the main body 101 having the support portion 131 described above. FIG. 12B shows a U-shaped support portion 131B. The support part 131B shown in FIG. 12B has a side that is slightly shorter than the bottom side of the main body 101. Therefore, when the support part 131B is opened to make the main body 101 self-supporting, the state should be made more stable. Can do.
ここで支持部131の他の形状について説明を加える。図12のAは、上記した支持部131を有する本体101を示している。図12のBは、コの字形状の支持部131Bを示している。図12のBに示した支持部131Bは、本体101の底辺より少し短い辺を有しているため、支持部131Bを開いて本体101を自立させるとき、その状態をより安定したものとすることができる。 <Other shapes of support parts>
Here, another shape of the
図12のAや図12のBに示した支持部131は、本体101の長辺を底辺として本体101を卓上に立てるときに適した形状(本体101を横置きにするときに適した形状)であるが、本体101の短辺を底辺として本体101を卓上に立てるときに適した形状(本体101を縦置きにするときに適した形状)を、図12のCに示す。
The support part 131 shown in FIG. 12A or FIG. 12B has a shape suitable for standing the main body 101 on a table with the long side of the main body 101 as the bottom (a shape suitable for placing the main body 101 horizontally). However, FIG. 12C shows a shape suitable for standing the main body 101 on a table with the short side of the main body 101 as the bottom side (a shape suitable for placing the main body 101 vertically).
図12のCに示した支持部131Cは、図12のAに示した支持部131Aと同様の構成を有するが、設けられている位置が異なる。図12のCに示した支持部131Cは、本体101の短辺側に設けられ、ボタン141Cも、短辺側に設けられている。この位置に設けられることで、縦置きに対応することができる。
The support portion 131C shown in FIG. 12C has the same configuration as the support portion 131A shown in FIG. 12A, but is provided at different positions. A support portion 131C shown in FIG. 12C is provided on the short side of the main body 101, and the button 141C is also provided on the short side. By being provided at this position, it is possible to support vertical installation.
さらに、横置きと縦置きの両方に対応させるように構成することも可能である。図13のAは、本体101の横置きと縦置きに対応するために、本体101の長辺を底辺としたときの支持部131D-1と、短辺を底辺としたときの支持部131D-2を備えた構成を示している。支持部131D-1は、図12のAに示した支持部131Aと同じ構成とし、支持部131D-2は、図12のCに示した支持部131Cと同じ構成とすることが可能である。
Furthermore, it can be configured to support both horizontal and vertical placement. FIG. 13A shows a support portion 131D-1 when the long side of the main body 101 is the bottom side and a support portion 131D- when the short side is the bottom side in order to correspond to the horizontal and vertical placement of the main body 101. 2 is shown. The support portion 131D-1 can have the same configuration as the support portion 131A shown in FIG. 12A, and the support portion 131D-2 can have the same configuration as the support portion 131C shown in FIG.
このように、2つの支持部131D-1と支持部131D-2を設けた場合、それぞれの支持部131Dに対応するボタン141D-1とボタン141D-2も設けられる。ユーザは、本体101を横置きで使用したいときには、ボタン141D-1を操作し、支持部131D-1を開く。同様に、ユーザは、本体101を縦置きで使用したいときには、ボタン141D-2を操作し、支持部131D-2を開く。このように、2つの支持部131Dを設けることで、本体101の横置き、縦置きの両方に対応することができ、ユーザが所望とする置き方を実現できる。
As described above, when the two support portions 131D-1 and 131D-2 are provided, the buttons 141D-1 and 141D-2 corresponding to the respective support portions 131D are also provided. When the user wants to use the main body 101 horizontally, the user operates the button 141D-1 to open the support portion 131D-1. Similarly, when the user wants to use the main body 101 in a vertical position, the user operates the button 141D-2 to open the support portion 131D-2. Thus, by providing two support parts 131D, it can respond to both horizontal installation and vertical installation of the main body 101, and can implement | achieve how the user desires.
図13のBに、1つの支持部131Eで本体101の縦置きと横置きに対応する場合の一例を示す。図13のBに示した支持部131Eは、斜め方向に設けられ、ボタン141E-1とボタン141E-2の2つのボタンが設けられている。ボタン141E-1は、本体101の長辺に設けられ、横置きするときに操作される。ボタン141E-2は、本体101の短辺に設けられ、縦置きするときに操作される。
FIG. 13B shows an example of a case where the main body 101 is supported vertically and horizontally by one support portion 131E. The support part 131E shown in FIG. 13B is provided in an oblique direction, and is provided with two buttons, a button 141E-1 and a button 141E-2. The button 141E-1 is provided on the long side of the main body 101, and is operated when placed horizontally. The button 141E-2 is provided on the short side of the main body 101 and is operated when placed vertically.
このように、2つのボタン141Eを設け、斜め方向に支持部131Eを設けることで、本体101の横置き、縦置きの両方に対応することが可能となる。なお、ここでは、横置き、縦置きの両方に対応するために、2つのボタン141Eを設ける例を挙げて説明したが、横置き、縦置きのどちらか一方に対応する構成とすることも可能である。この場合、ボタン141E-1またはボタン141E-2のどちらかが設けられる構成とすることで実現できる。
Thus, by providing the two buttons 141E and providing the support portion 131E in an oblique direction, it is possible to deal with both the horizontal placement and the vertical placement of the main body 101. Here, an example in which two buttons 141E are provided in order to support both horizontal and vertical placement has been described, but a configuration corresponding to either horizontal or vertical placement is possible. It is. In this case, this can be realized by adopting a configuration in which either the button 141E-1 or the button 141E-2 is provided.
さらに、図13のCに示すような三角形状の支持部131Fを設け、本体101の横置きまたは縦置きに対応する構成とすることも可能である。図13のCに示した支持部131Fは、三角形状の上記してきた支持部131よりは大きめに形成された支持部131Fであり、図13のCでは、直角三角形である場合を示している。
Furthermore, it is possible to provide a triangular support portion 131F as shown in FIG. 13C so that the main body 101 can be placed horizontally or vertically. A support part 131F shown in FIG. 13C is a support part 131F formed larger than the triangular support part 131 described above, and FIG. 13C shows a case of a right triangle.
直角三角形の支持部131Fの斜辺が軸とされて支持部131Fは開かれ、直角をなす2辺のうちの長辺が底辺とされたとき、本体101は横置きとされ、直角をなす2辺のうちの短辺が底辺とされたとき、本体101は縦置きとされる。また、ボタン141F-1は、長辺に設けられ、横置きするときに操作され、ボタン141F-2は、短辺に設けられ、縦置きするときに操作される。
When the hypotenuse of the right triangle support portion 131F is used as an axis, the support portion 131F is opened, and when the long side of the two sides forming a right angle is the bottom side, the main body 101 is placed horizontally, and the two sides forming a right angle. When the short side is the bottom side, the main body 101 is placed vertically. In addition, the button 141F-1 is provided on the long side and operated when placed horizontally, and the button 141F-2 is provided on the short side and operated when placed vertically.
ボタン141F-1またはボタン141F-2のどちらか一方が操作された場合、支持部131Fは開かれる。このように、2つのボタン141Fを設け、三角形状の支持部131Fを設けることで、本体101の横置き、縦置きの両方に対応することが可能となる。
When either button 141F-1 or button 141F-2 is operated, the support 131F is opened. In this manner, by providing the two buttons 141F and the triangular support portion 131F, it is possible to cope with both the horizontal placement and the vertical placement of the main body 101.
図示はしないが、支持部131の形状は、上記した以外の形状でも良い。また、上記した場合も含め、支持部131の形状に合う位置や大きさで、ボタン141は設けられる。また、上記したように、突起142や受け部143が設けられ、支持部131が係止される。また上記したように、係止状態が解除されたときに、磁力などにより、支持部131は、ユーザの手を煩わすことなく開かれる構成とされている。
Although not shown, the shape of the support 131 may be other than the above. In addition, including the case described above, the button 141 is provided at a position and size that match the shape of the support portion 131. Further, as described above, the protrusion 142 and the receiving portion 143 are provided, and the support portion 131 is locked. As described above, when the locked state is released, the support portion 131 is configured to be opened by a magnetic force or the like without bothering the user's hand.
<支持部の破損防止機構>
上記したようにして支持部131が開かれ、本体101が卓上に置かれた状態のときに、本体101に過剰な力が加えられると、支持部131が破損する可能性がある。このような破損について、図14を参照して説明する。 <Mechanism to prevent damage to support part>
When thesupport part 131 is opened as described above and the main body 101 is placed on the table, if the excessive force is applied to the main body 101, the support part 131 may be damaged. Such damage will be described with reference to FIG.
上記したようにして支持部131が開かれ、本体101が卓上に置かれた状態のときに、本体101に過剰な力が加えられると、支持部131が破損する可能性がある。このような破損について、図14を参照して説明する。 <Mechanism to prevent damage to support part>
When the
図14のAは、図11に示したような状態と同じく、支持部131が開かれ、本体101が卓上で自立している状態を表している。例えば、本体101に、本体101の上方から卓上方向に力が加えられた場合、その力は、本体101と支持部131が離れる方向への力となり、本体101と支持部131にかかる。
FIG. 14A shows a state in which the support part 131 is opened and the main body 101 is self-supporting on the table, as in the state shown in FIG. For example, when a force is applied to the main body 101 in the desktop direction from above the main body 101, the force is a force in a direction in which the main body 101 and the support portion 131 are separated, and is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131.
その結果、図14のBに示すように、支持部131は、本体101に対してさらに開いた状態となる。このような過大な力が本体101や支持部131にかかったとき、本体101や支持部131が破損する可能性がある。
As a result, as shown in FIG. 14B, the support portion 131 is further opened with respect to the main body 101. When such an excessive force is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131, the main body 101 and the support portion 131 may be damaged.
例えば、図15に示すように、軸221の一部が本体101に内蔵され、その軸221を軸として、支持部131が動く構成とされていた場合、図14のBのような状態になったときに、軸221の付近が破損する可能性がある。例えば、軸221が折れてしまったり、軸221の本体101に内蔵されていた部分により、本体101が破損してしまったりする可能性がある。
For example, as shown in FIG. 15, when a part of the shaft 221 is built in the main body 101 and the support portion 131 moves around the shaft 221, the state shown in FIG. 14B is obtained. The vicinity of the shaft 221 may be damaged. For example, the shaft 221 may be broken, or the main body 101 may be damaged by the portion of the shaft 221 that is built in the main body 101.
このような破損が起きないような支持部131の構成を、図16のA、図16のBに示す。ブロック251を設け、このブロック251内に軸252を設け、この軸252に支持部131が接続されるような構成とする。このブロック251は、本体101に対して着脱自在に構成されているため、支持部131も、本体101に対して着脱自在に構成されている。
16A and 16B show the configuration of the support 131 so that such damage does not occur. A block 251 is provided, a shaft 252 is provided in the block 251, and the support portion 131 is connected to the shaft 252. Since the block 251 is configured to be detachable from the main body 101, the support portion 131 is also configured to be detachable from the main body 101.
軸252は、直接本体101には接続(接触)しておらず、ブロック251内に存在する。軸252がブロック251内で回動するように構成されることで、軸252が接続されている支持部131が、本体101に対して開閉するように構成されている。
The shaft 252 is not directly connected (contacted) to the main body 101 and exists in the block 251. By configuring the shaft 252 to rotate within the block 251, the support portion 131 to which the shaft 252 is connected is configured to open and close with respect to the main body 101.
すなわちこの場合、表示部111に対して着脱可能に取り付けられ、かつ、支持部131として機能するスタンドを回動可能に保持するブロック251がある。このブロック251は、スタンドを保持するスタンド保持部として機能し、スタント保持部により、表示部111に対してスタンドは回動可能に保持されている。
That is, in this case, there is a block 251 that is detachably attached to the display unit 111 and rotatably holds a stand that functions as the support unit 131. The block 251 functions as a stand holding unit that holds the stand, and the stand is rotatably held with respect to the display unit 111 by the stunt holding unit.
そして、スタンド(支持部131)および表示部111に対して所定の力が加わった際にスタンドおよびスタンド保持部(支持部131及びブロック251)が表示部111から離脱される構成とされている。
The stand and the stand holding part (support part 131 and block 251) are configured to be detached from the display part 111 when a predetermined force is applied to the stand (support part 131) and the display part 111.
また、ブロック251は、表示部111のうち表示パネルが配置された面と対向する背面に取り付けられている支持部131を保持し、ブロック251は、表示部111の背面からみたときの幅方向において支持部131の幅よりも小さい幅を有する構成とされている。
In addition, the block 251 holds a support part 131 attached to the back surface of the display unit 111 that faces the surface on which the display panel is arranged. The block 251 is viewed in the width direction when viewed from the back side of the display unit 111. The width of the support portion 131 is smaller than the width of the support portion 131.
このような構成を有する支持部131を備えることで、例えば、図14のBに示したような状態となったとき、ブロック251が本体101から外れ、本体101および支持部131が破損するようなことを回避することができる。すなわち、本体101や支持部131に過大な力がかかったとき、支持部131が、本体101から離れることで、本体101および支持部131が破損するようなことを回避することができる。
By providing the support part 131 having such a configuration, for example, when the state shown in FIG. 14B is reached, the block 251 is detached from the main body 101 and the main body 101 and the support part 131 are damaged. You can avoid that. In other words, when an excessive force is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131, it is possible to avoid the main body 101 and the support portion 131 from being damaged due to the support portion 131 being separated from the main body 101.
このように、本体101に対して着脱自在のブロック251を設ける構成とした場合、例えば、図17に示したような支持部131の構成とすることも可能である。図17に示したブロック271は、図16のBに示したブロック251よりも大きな形状とされ、支持部131は、U字型に近い形状とされている。
As described above, when the block 251 that is detachably attached to the main body 101 is provided, for example, the support 131 may be configured as shown in FIG. The block 271 shown in FIG. 17 has a larger shape than the block 251 shown in FIG. 16B, and the support portion 131 has a shape close to a U-shape.
この場合、ブロック271は、表示部111のうち表示パネルが配置された面と対向する背面に取り付けられて、支持部131を保持し、支持部131は中空部を有するとともに、ブロック271は、支持部131の中空部に略収容される状態で支持部131を保持する構成とされている。
In this case, the block 271 is attached to the back surface of the display unit 111 opposite to the surface on which the display panel is disposed, and holds the support unit 131. The support unit 131 has a hollow portion, and the block 271 supports the support unit 131. The support portion 131 is held in a state of being substantially accommodated in the hollow portion of the portion 131.
このように支持部131やブロック251(ブロック271)の大きさや形状は、図16や図17に示した大きさや形状に限定されるものではなく、さまざまな大きさや形状をとることが可能である。ブロック251(ブロック271)の大きさや形状を決定する際の一因として、どのような構成で、ブロック251(ブロック271)が本体101から離れる構造とするかがある。
Thus, the size and shape of the support portion 131 and the block 251 (block 271) are not limited to the size and shape shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, and can take various sizes and shapes. . One factor in determining the size and shape of the block 251 (block 271) is the configuration in which the block 251 (block 271) is separated from the main body 101.
例えば、図16のBに示したブロック251は磁石を備え、本体101も、ブロック251の磁石と対応した位置に磁石を備える。このように設けられた磁石同士の引き合う力を利用し、ブロック251を本体101に着脱自在に設ける。本体101や支持部131に過大な力がかかったとき、換言すれば、磁石同士の引き合う力よりも大きな力がかかったとき、ブロック251は、本体101から離れる。
For example, the block 251 shown in FIG. 16B includes a magnet, and the main body 101 also includes a magnet at a position corresponding to the magnet of the block 251. The block 251 is detachably provided on the main body 101 using the attractive force of the magnets provided in this way. When an excessive force is applied to the main body 101 or the support portion 131, in other words, when a force greater than the attractive force between the magnets is applied, the block 251 is separated from the main body 101.
図17に示したブロック271も、同様に、磁石を含む構成とし、本体101と着脱自在に構成することも可能である。ブロック271のように、縦方向に長い形状の場合、縦方向に複数の磁石を含む構成とし、本体101側も対応する位置に複数の磁石を含む構成とすることも可能である。
Similarly, the block 271 shown in FIG. 17 also includes a magnet and can be configured to be detachable from the main body 101. In the case of a shape that is long in the vertical direction as in the block 271, it is possible to adopt a configuration that includes a plurality of magnets in the vertical direction, and a configuration that includes a plurality of magnets in the corresponding position on the main body 101 side.
用いる磁石の磁力の強さや、磁石自体の大きさなどを一因として、ブロック251の大きさや形状が設定される。また支持部131の形状を、デザインの観点から設定し、その設定された支持部131の形状に合ったブロック251が設定され、そのブロック251にあった磁石が用いられるようにしても良い。
The size and shape of the block 251 are set based on factors such as the strength of the magnetic force of the magnet used and the size of the magnet itself. In addition, the shape of the support portion 131 may be set from the viewpoint of design, a block 251 that matches the set shape of the support portion 131 may be set, and the magnet in the block 251 may be used.
なお、本体101と支持部131の両方が磁石を備えていなくても良く、どちらか一方が磁石を備え、他方は、磁石に着く金属を含む構成とされていても良い。
In addition, both the main body 101 and the support part 131 do not need to be provided with a magnet, either one may be provided with a magnet, and the other may be configured to include a metal that attaches to the magnet.
他の装着の仕方として、洋裁で用いられるボタンの中に、スナップボタンと称されるボタンがあるが、スナップボタンのような構成を用いて、本体101に対する支持部131の着脱自在を実現するようにしても良い。スナップボタンは、凹部と凸部との組み合わせからなるボタンであり、押すとくっつき、ひっぱるととれるというボタンである。
As another mounting method, among buttons used in dressmaking, there is a button called a snap button, but the support part 131 can be attached to and detached from the main body 101 using a configuration like a snap button. Anyway. The snap button is a button composed of a combination of a concave portion and a convex portion, and is a button that sticks when pressed and can be pulled when pulled.
このようなスナップボタン形状を適用する場合、図17に示したようなブロック271が適している。図18に、ブロック271と本体101の一例を示す。図18は、ブロック271と本体101の収納部132の断面を示す図である。図18に示すようにブロック271には、縦方向に凹部301-1乃至301-3が設けられている。本体101の収納部132には、凹部301-1乃至301-3の対応する位置に凸部302-1乃至302-3が設けられている。
When such a snap button shape is applied, a block 271 as shown in FIG. 17 is suitable. FIG. 18 shows an example of the block 271 and the main body 101. FIG. 18 is a view showing a cross section of the block 271 and the storage portion 132 of the main body 101. As shown in FIG. 18, the block 271 is provided with recesses 301-1 to 301-3 in the vertical direction. The storage portion 132 of the main body 101 is provided with convex portions 302-1 to 302-3 at positions corresponding to the concave portions 301-1 to 301-3.
ブロック271が、収納部132に押しつけられると、凹部301-1に凸部302-1が挿嵌される。同様に、凹部301-2に凸部302-2が挿嵌され、凹部301-3に凸部302-3が挿嵌される。このように、凹部301に凸部302が挿嵌されることで、ブロック271は、本体101に装着される。本体101や支持部131に力が加えられることで、凹部301と凸部302の挿嵌状態が維持できなくなると、本体101から支持部131(ブロック271)が離れる。よって、本体101や支持部131が破損してしまうようなことを防ぐことができる。
When the block 271 is pressed against the storage part 132, the convex part 302-1 is inserted into the concave part 301-1. Similarly, the convex portion 302-2 is inserted into the concave portion 301-2, and the convex portion 302-3 is inserted into the concave portion 301-3. Thus, the block 271 is attached to the main body 101 by inserting the convex portion 302 into the concave portion 301. When force is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131 and the insertion state of the concave portion 301 and the convex portion 302 cannot be maintained, the support portion 131 (block 271) is separated from the main body 101. Therefore, it can prevent that the main body 101 and the support part 131 are damaged.
ここでは、凹部301と凸部302の組が3組である場合を例に挙げて説明したが、凹部301と凸部302の組数は、3組に限定されるわけではなく、いくつでも良い。例えば、ブロック271の大きさにより、比較的大きい場合、複数設けられ、縦方向だけでなく、横方向にも設けられるような構成とすることも可能である。凹部301の大きさは、それぞれ同一である場合を示したが、それぞれ異なる大きさとすることも可能である。例えば、図19に示すようにしても良い。
Here, the case where there are three pairs of the concave portions 301 and the convex portions 302 has been described as an example. However, the number of the concave portions 301 and the convex portions 302 is not limited to three, and may be any number. . For example, depending on the size of the block 271, when it is relatively large, a plurality of blocks 271 may be provided and provided in the horizontal direction as well as in the vertical direction. Although the case where the sizes of the recesses 301 are the same is shown, the sizes of the recesses 301 may be different from each other. For example, it may be as shown in FIG.
図19を参照するに、凹部321-1、凹部321-2、凹部321-3の大きさは、この順で大、中、小の大きさとなっている。対応する凸部322-1、凸部322-2、凸部322-3の大きさも、この順で大、中、小の大きさとなっている。このように複数の凹部321を異なる大きさとすることで、本体101や支持部131に力が加えられたときの、凹部321と凸部322の挿嵌状態が維持できなくなる限界を、それぞれ異ならせることが可能となる。
Referring to FIG. 19, the sizes of the concave portion 321-1, the concave portion 321-2, and the concave portion 321-3 are large, medium, and small in this order. The sizes of the corresponding convex portion 322-1, convex portion 322-2, and convex portion 322-3 are also large, medium, and small in this order. Thus, by making the plurality of concave portions 321 have different sizes, the limits at which the insertion state of the concave portions 321 and the convex portions 322 cannot be maintained when a force is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131 are made different. It becomes possible.
換言すれば、本体101や支持部131に力が加えられたとき、徐々に、凹部321と凸部322の挿嵌状態が解除されるようにすることができる。例えば、ブロック271の下方向から順に、凹部321と凸部322の挿嵌状態が解除されるように構成することが可能となる。このような構成とされることで、例えば、ブロック271の一番下側にある凹部321-3と凸部322-3の挿嵌状態が解除されたときの振動や音などで、ユーザに過剰な力を加えていることを認識させることができ、そのような過剰な力を加える状態を止めさせるように促すことが可能となる。
In other words, when a force is applied to the main body 101 and the support portion 131, the insertion state of the concave portion 321 and the convex portion 322 can be gradually released. For example, it is possible to configure so that the insertion state of the concave portion 321 and the convex portion 322 is released sequentially from the lower direction of the block 271. By adopting such a configuration, for example, the vibration or sound when the insertion state of the concave portion 321-3 and the convex portion 322-3 at the lowermost side of the block 271 is released is excessive for the user. It is possible to recognize that an excessive force is being applied, and it is possible to prompt the user to stop applying such an excessive force.
上記した図18や図19に示した凹部301や凹部321は、ブロック271の収納部132に向かい合う面に垂直に設けられているが、他の角度を有して設けられるようにしても良い。例えば、図20に示すような凹部341を設けても良い。図20に示した凹部341-1乃至341-3は、ブロック271の上下方向で、所定の傾斜を有して設けられている。
The above-described recess 301 and recess 321 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 are provided perpendicular to the surface of the block 271 facing the storage portion 132, but may be provided with other angles. For example, you may provide the recessed part 341 as shown in FIG. The concave portions 341-1 to 341-3 shown in FIG. 20 are provided with a predetermined inclination in the vertical direction of the block 271.
凹部341-1乃至341-3に対応する収納部132の位置に、凸部342-1乃至342-3が設けられている。このように、凹部341に傾斜を設けることで、所定の方向に力がかかったときに挿嵌状態が解除されやすく、他の方向に力がかかったときには挿嵌状態が解除されにくいといったような、力のかかる方向による挿嵌状態の解除の制御を行うことが可能となる。
Convex portions 342-1 to 342-3 are provided at the positions of the storage portion 132 corresponding to the concave portions 341-1 to 341-3. In this way, by providing the recess 341 with an inclination, the insertion state is easily released when a force is applied in a predetermined direction, and the insertion state is not easily released when a force is applied in another direction. It is possible to control the release of the inserted state by the direction in which the force is applied.
この場合、凹部341に傾斜を設けることで、例えば、本体101に、本体101の上から卓上方向に力が過大にかけられたときは、容易に挿嵌状態が解除され、他の方向、例えば、本体101の横方向から力が過大にかけられたときには、挿嵌状態は解除されづらいように制御することができる。
In this case, by providing the recess 341 with an inclination, for example, when a force is excessively applied to the main body 101 from the top of the main body 101 in the desktop direction, the insertion state is easily released, and the other direction, for example, When an excessive force is applied from the lateral direction of the main body 101, the insertion state can be controlled so that it is difficult to be released.
図18乃至図20に示した図においては、ブロック271側に凹部を設け、本体101側に凸部を設ける構成を示したが、ブロック271側に凸部を設け、本体101側に凹部を設ける構成とすることも可能である。
18 to 20, the concave portion is provided on the block 271 side and the convex portion is provided on the main body 101 side. However, the convex portion is provided on the block 271 side and the concave portion is provided on the main body 101 side. A configuration is also possible.
また、図18乃至図20に示した図においては、凹部や凸部は、一部円形を有する形状である場合を示したが、図示した以外の形状であっても良い。
Further, in the drawings shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. 20, the concave portion and the convex portion have been shown to have a shape having a partially circular shape, but may have a shape other than that illustrated.
また、支持部131が本体101から着脱できるように構成された場合も、上記した、ボタン141の操作により支持部131が本体101に対して開く構成を適用することはできる。また、ボタン141の誤操作を防ぐための機構も、支持部131が本体101から着脱できる構成と合わせて実施することができる。
In addition, even when the support portion 131 is configured to be detachable from the main body 101, the above-described configuration in which the support portion 131 opens with respect to the main body 101 by the operation of the button 141 can be applied. In addition, a mechanism for preventing the button 141 from being erroneously operated can be implemented together with a configuration in which the support portion 131 can be detached from the main body 101.
このように、支持部131が本体101から着脱できるように構成することで、本体101や支持部131に過大な力がかけられたときなどに、本体101や支持部131が破損するようなこと防ぐことが可能となる。
As described above, the support unit 131 is configured to be detachable from the main body 101, so that the main body 101 and the support unit 131 may be damaged when an excessive force is applied to the main body 101 or the support unit 131. It becomes possible to prevent.
また、支持部131が本体101から着脱できるように構成することで、支持部131を交換することが可能となる。すなわち、ユーザが所望の支持部131を本体101に装着することが可能となる。例えば、図16のBに示した支持部131を本体101から取り外し、図17に示した支持部131を本体101に取り付けるといった交換が可能となる。
Further, by configuring the support 131 so that it can be detached from the main body 101, the support 131 can be exchanged. In other words, the user can attach the desired support part 131 to the main body 101. For example, the support part 131 shown in FIG. 16B can be removed from the main body 101, and the support part 131 shown in FIG.
このような交換が可能となることで、支持部131を本体101とは別に販売したり、ユーザが本体101のデザインを所望のデザインに変更したりするといったことが可能となる。
Since such replacement is possible, the support unit 131 can be sold separately from the main body 101, or the user can change the design of the main body 101 to a desired design.
