Flat-panel displays are thin panels of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying text, images, or video. Liquid crystal displays (LCD), OLED (organic light emitting diode) and microLED displays are not quite the same; since LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material. LCD, OLED and microLED displays are driven using LTPS, IGZO, LTPO, and A-Si TFT transistor technologies as their backplane using ITO to supply current to the transistors and in turn to the liquid crystal or electroluminescent material. Segment and passive OLED and LCD displays do not use a backplane but use indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conductive material, to pass current to the electroluminescent material or liquid crystal. In LCDs, there is an even layer of liquid crystal throughout the panel whereas an OLED display has the electroluminescent material only where it is meant to light up. OLEDs, LCDs and microLEDs can be made flexible and transparent, but LCDs require a backlight because they cannot emit light on their own like OLEDs and microLEDs.
Liquid-crystal display (or LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. They are usually made of glass but they can also be made out of plastic. Some manufacturers make transparent LCD panels and special sequential color segment LCDs that have higher than usual refresh rates and an RGB backlight. The backlight is synchronized with the display so that the colors will show up as needed. The list of LCD manufacturers:
Organic light emitting diode (or OLED displays) is a thin, flat panel made of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. OLED panels can also take the shape of a light panel, where red, green and blue light emitting materials are stacked to create a white light panel. OLED displays can also be made transparent and/or flexible and these transparent panels are available on the market and are widely used in smartphones with under-display optical fingerprint sensors. LCD and OLED displays are available in different shapes, the most prominent of which is a circular display, which is used in smartwatches. The list of OLED display manufacturers:
MicroLED displays is an emerging flat-panel display technology consisting of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. Like OLED, microLED offers infinite contrast ratio, but unlike OLED, microLED is immune to screen burn-in, and consumes less power while having higher light output, as it uses LEDs instead of organic electroluminescent materials, The list of MicroLED display manufacturers:
Sony produces and sells commercial MicroLED displays called CLEDIS (Crystal-LED Integrated Displays, also called Canvas-LED) in small quantities.video walls.
LCDs are made in a glass substrate. For OLED, the substrate can also be plastic. The size of the substrates are specified in generations, with each generation using a larger substrate. For example, a 4th generation substrate is larger in size than a 3rd generation substrate. A larger substrate allows for more panels to be cut from a single substrate, or for larger panels to be made, akin to increasing wafer sizes in the semiconductor industry.

Conventional portable computer systems (e.g., “laptops”) are becoming more and more prevalent in business, especially by business travelers, etc. The conventional systems typically utilize liquid crystal display (LCD) screens for their output (display) devices.
However, the sizes of such screens have continually increased over the years. Thus, a problem arises in that as the screens continue to grow, the LCD screens will eventually grow larger than the form factor for a laptop computer.
Secondly, portable computers are inherently fragile and/or contain sensitive information thereon. Accordingly, a passenger (e.g., an airline traveler, train traveler, etc.) typically “carries-on” the portable computer into the passenger compartment of an airplane, train, etc.
However, yet another problem arises in that airlines etc. typically limit a passenger"s carry-on baggage to two small bags, or, for some flights, to only one carry-on bag. Airline passengers (especially business travelers) typically travel with a briefcase, a laptop and a laptop case (e.g., yet another piece of luggage). As a result, the passenger typically must check one of these bags and must spend valuable time at the “Baggage Claim” area of the airport. Further, if the laptop is checked, costly or irreparable damage may occur during baggage handling.
Yet another problem is that battery life is generally considered insufficient in today"s laptop computers. While lithium batteries have made great strides over Nickel-cadmium (Nicad) batteries in increasing a usable time period of the portable computer, generally the battery life is still deemed insufficient. As a result, typically the traveler will pack in the laptop an additional battery (ies). However, the laptop becomes too heavy when loaded with such battery (ies) to extend service life sufficiently. This is a problem.
Finally, the notebook (laptop) computer is not an attractive form factor because the notebook computer basically looks like a block of plastic. It is bulky and lumpy. The laptop carrying case is typically made of nylon and is relatively unattractive, and in some cases appears to have low quality (e.g., looks “cheap”). In contrast, after years of style evolution, the briefcase is typically attractively upholstered in leather. The handle and clasps are integrated into the design. The stitching denotes craftsmanship and quality, and is often secured from entry with a key or combination. The briefcase is a mature, well-evolved attractive form factor.
Hitherto, the invention there has been no structure integrating the attractive looking briefcase with the relatively unattractive form factor of the laptop computer.
In view of the foregoing and other problems of the conventional structures, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure for combining a portable computer and a briefcase into a convenient and attractive looking carrying case.
In a first aspect of the present invention, a carrying case (and an integrated briefcase computer including the carrying case) includes a housing having first and second container portions which are selectively opened and closed, the first and second container portions being coupled together, a computer including central processing unit (CPU) integrally housed in one of the first and second container portions of the housing, a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen located in the other of the first and second container portions of the housing, and a keyboard, removably housed in the one of the first and second container portions, for communicating with the LCD screen.
In a second aspect of the invention, an integrated briefcase with a computer houses a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen in the inside top cover and the LCD screen can be covered by folder holders which are attachable by a fastening mechanism, such as a snap, velcro strips and hooks, leather loops and knobs, etc. Basically, any device suitable for holding up a folder holder in a briefcase can be employed. The LCD screen can range in size, but a maximum size would be limited to the inside boundary of the inside top cover of the briefcase.
With the inventive configuration, a portable computer and a briefcase can be combined into a convenient carrying case with an attractive form factor, and can include a large LCD screen, with space for peripheral equipment and office materials. Further, a traveler need not check such a structure as “checked baggage”, thereby saving valuable time (and potentially costly repairs) by not having to check such a structure with airport/train officials.
Other advantages include that the electronics of the laptop are embedded into the body of the briefcase, thereby providing better heat dissipation. In addition, reuse of structural support components allows a reduction in total weight Additionally, embedding the battery in the briefcase body will allow additional flexibility in placement of components. Thus, more standard and bulkier shapes can be used, thereby reducing cost.
Further, a keyboard portion can be used without a briefcase portion for office/home office activity. Thus, the keyboard portion can be detachable, and the keyboard can be used with a monitor alone. Using a normal laptop requires a separate keyboard for use with a monitor because the built-in monitor is not detachable.
Additionally, the briefcase computer preferably accommodates a full-size keyboard. Moreover, the keyboard portion can be transported alone between two sites (e.g., such as home and office) that each have power and a monitor which saves on weight. Further, the keyboard portion can be used separately if the LCD screen burns out (or otherwise becomes defective) or if there is a flaw in manufacturing.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of the structure 100 according to the present invention, in an operational condition with a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen 12 visible to the user;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the preferred embodiment of the structure 100 of the present invention, with the LCD screen 12 being covered by folders 21 of a briefcase;
FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams respectively illustrating the side cross-sectional views of the briefcase computer in an opened state and a closed state;
FIG. 6 illustrates a configuration including extra hinges 60 for allowing the laptop to be used in large form factor accommodations such as airline coach seats or the like.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-6, an integrated briefcase and computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. Generally, the invention provides a new form factor for portable computers.
As is typical, the briefcase has a two-piece configuration including a bottom box-like container portion 10 ahaving a bottom surface, and three upstanding wall members 10 al preferably rigidly coupled to the bottom surface of the bottom container portion 10 a.Another wall member 15, described in further detail below, is foldably coupled to the bottom surface, via hinges (not shown in FIG. 1) or the like. Preferably, at least a portion of the housing (e.g., the portion near the LCD screen and/or a CPU of the computer) includes an insulation material and/or a heat dissipating material (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 12A in FIG. 9).
The bottom portion 10 ais coupled to a top box-like container portion 10 bvia a coupling structure 10 csuch as hinges, fasteners, etc. The inside top of the briefcase 10 houses the LCD screen 12. A keyboard 13 (e.g., a full-size keyboard) is a component form factor.
Preferably, the bottom of the keyboard has the same finish as the inside of the briefcase 10. That is, when the keyboard 13 is turned upside down, it should have the same finish as the inside of the briefcase 10, to provide an aesthetic appeal. (The keyboard shown in FIG. 2 is upside down).
As shown in FIG. 3A, which illustrates a back portion of the keyboard, including a power cord 32, a telephone cord 33, a network cord 34, and other optional cables (or) ports (not shown) are provided at the back of the keyboard 13.
More specifically, there is a power-on switch 31, a spring-loaded reeled out AC power-in cable 32, a spring-loaded, reeled out combination video and DC-power cable 34 for connecting the rest of the briefcase computer, a spring-loaded reeled out telephone cable, and a spring-loaded, reeled out network cable. A disk/CD bay 35 is also provided. The cords preferably reel in when not in use, by spring-loaded retractors or the like. The plugs and cords are hidden from view when the keyboard 13 is turned over, as shown in FIG. 2.
As mentioned above, the bottom container portion 10 aof the briefcase 10 includes the foldable, preferably removable wall member 15. Member 15 is preferably located at the front of the briefcase 10 and slides up and completely removes by sliding up out of a groove to become a wrist rest. Latches (not shown) are preferably provided on sides of case. Such a wrist rest assists in helping the user avoid repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
As shown in FIG. 2, a briefcase handle 22 is inset so that the wall member/wrist rest 15 lies flat on a table. The briefcase computer keyboard 13 rests on top of the folder holder 20, inside the briefcase 10 (especially, in close quarters such as on an airplane) or partially or fully outside the briefcase 10. The flaps 21 on the top of the case are hinged to swing outwardly and behind the monitor. Looking at the monitor, the left flap would swing left and then back from the LCD screen 12 to allow a maximum viewable angle. This is an optional portion of the invention.
The keyboard 13 is an integral portion of the briefcase computer and has a maximum width limited to the maximum length of the available space within the interior of the briefcase computer. The keyboard 13 preferably includes a built-in computer mouse or the user can attach a conventional external mouse device.
As mentioned above, the keyboard 13 has attached cables which retract and are hidden from view when the keyboard is turned over including a retractable power cord, a network cord, a telephone cable for dial-up modem connections, and for attachment of other external devices.
Additionally, the keyboard may comprise a single unit including a central processing unit (CPU), disk drive, etc or these elements may be located elsewhere in the briefcase. For example, these elements may be located in the sides or bottom.
The keyboard 13 may also be cordless. For example, the keyboard may rely on an infrared (IR) transmission, whereby no cable connection to the monitor is necessary. FIG. 3B illustrates the back of the keyboard in which an IR transmitter port 30 is provided. In such a case, the IR transmitter port 30 in the keyboard 13 would require a line-of-sight connection with an IR receiver.
The configuration of the internal portion of the briefcase may vary depending upon the specifications of the hardware combined into the briefcase computer, but may include storage space for peripheral equipment such as a portable printer, scanner, extra batteries, power pack, DVD/CD ROM device, adaptors, etc.
The top edge of the computer, housing the recessible handle 22, opposite the connector (e.g., hinge) for the top cover portion 10 band the bottom portion 10 aof the briefcase, is able to fold-out when the briefcase is opened to function as a wrist rest. The handle 22 is recessed allowing the wrist rest to lie flat. The handle 22 is easily retractable and insertable into the wrist rest. The inside portion on which the user"s wrist rests is preferably made of a comfortable material such as silicone, rubber, padded leather, or interior material of the briefcase.
Audio output components, such as speakers or the like, for use with computer software and the sound card, if so equipped, of the computer, may be built into the LCD screen, the keyboard, or some portion of the briefcase itself.
The construction of the frame (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 90 in FIG. 8) can be of any strong lightweight material such as aluminum, fiberglass, titanium, plastic resin, Kevlar, and rubber. For ease of use and improved utility, the briefcase may include any one or more of retractable wheels on the bottom edge of the briefcase (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 45 in FIG. 4A), a telescopic handle built into the side of the case (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 46 in FIG. 4B), business card holders, pen holders, diskette and optical disk holders, and/or a retractable shoulder strap.
Additionally, a locking mechanism could be provided on the outside of the computer which if violated would render the computer inoperative, in the instance, for example, of theft or tampering. Further, construction of the briefcase may include materials for blocking magnetic charges, such as those produced by magnetic airline tray tables and or radiation from security devices.
There are several key benefits and advantages resulting from the invention as described above. Specifically, the invention will attractively house a large size LCD screen. There is no other candidate for the next form factor once screens become too big for laptops.
The briefcase computer is the most compact form factor for the functionality of a briefcase and the functionality of a computer and reduces the number of pieces of luggage a traveler, particularly a traveler on business may need to carry onto the plane. This allows business travelers to check little or no baggage, and thus saves time reclaiming luggage at the baggage claim area.
Weight is a key competitive characteristic for portable computers. Such a computer/briefcase combination can reduce the total carried weight substantially, by integrating component parts of the computer into the briefcase structure. This savings can be used to increase battery size, weight and functionality while still reducing the total carried weight from a laptop, laptop bag and briefcase.
The housing of a briefcase and the housing of a computer are redundant. Integrating the two results in less expense than for a laptop computer and a high quality briefcase produced separately. The cost of portable computers is continually decreasing, and some portable computers will surely cost less than some briefcases.
Further, the computer is becoming a wearable item, practically a fashion accessory. Wallet phones and computers (e.g., personal data assistants, palm pilots, etc.) are becoming pocket-sized. However, a wallet computer does not now function as a wallet. That is, it cannot store paper money and credit cards. Attractively housing a larger computer requires finding a larger container in another piece of a business person"s wardrobe. The briefcase computer solves these two problems. That is, the combination allows an executive to effectively have all required business materials at hand, e.g., a virtual office, even during traveling. Further, the briefcase computer does so preserving the function of the traditional fashion item it replaces.
Thus, less weight for the combination of a briefcase computer compared with the separate parts is an advantage as well as fewer pieces of equipment and luggage to handle, particularly while traveling, as compared with the current situation of carrying a laptop, a laptop case and a briefcase.
The briefcase computer according to the invention is an attractive larger form factor that can house large LCD screens (e.g., larger than a typical laptop screen), a laptop case, and a briefcase. Finally, the briefcase computer with a nicely finished exterior may be more appealing aesthetically than the human factor of existing computer designs.
FIGS. 3C and 3D illustrate other configurations of the briefcase computer. It is noted that an arc 35 in one comer of the folders 21 provides an ability to pull a cord through the folders 21 and connect the same to the back of the keyboard 13, as shown in FIG. 3C. The other arc 36 may be provided solely for symmetry.
FIG. 3D illustrates the ability to use the keyboard on top of the folders 21 of the briefcase (e.g., similarly to a conventional laptop) in cramped areas.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the closed state and the open state of the briefcase computer, respectively. The keyboard in both Figures is shown in an upside down state.
In FIG. 4A, the LCD monitor 12 is shown along with an extra battery/extra drive bay 48. Additionally, the keyboard 13, CPU 40, disk 41, etc. are shown. It is noted that reference numeral 42 represents the matching interior trim on the bottom of the keyboard 13. Also shown is the removable combination briefcase top/wrist rest 15 with the inset handle.
FIG. 5 illustrates a computer monitor 50 with a keyboard 13 in which the keyboard 13 is separately usable from the briefcase portion for office/home office activity. That is, the keyboard 13 can be used with a monitor 50 alone.
Finally, FIG. 6 illustrates yet another configuration in which extra hinges 60 are provided for allowing the laptop to be used in large form factor accommodations such as airline coach seats or the like.
Thus, with the inventive configuration, a portable computer and a briefcase can be combined into a convenient carrying case with an attractive form factor, and a large LCD screen, with space for peripheral equipment and office materials. Further, laptop cases are stolen much more frequently than briefcases. With the inventive configuration and by being integrated within a briefcase, the laptop computer can be camouflaged to look like a briefcase. Further, the briefcase computer preferably accommodates a full size keyboard.
While the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Thus, for example, instead of a briefcase, the computer could be styled to unobtrusively fit into a particular them of attire (e.g., formal, casual, picnic, beach, wedding, or other attire).
Moreover, as mentioned above, the computer can be a wearable item such as a fashion accessory. Such a fashion accessory can include any of a carrying case, wrist watch, glasses, wallet, briefcase, belt, shoes, handbag, hat, jewelry, pen, backpack, walking stick, etc.
Such fashion accessories can be tailored and designed by one of ordinary skill in the art, after reading the present specification, to incorporate one or more central processing units (CPU), a digital memory (e.g., a random access memory (RAM)) coupled to the CPU(s), a video output, operatively coupled to the CPU(s) and preferably having 640×480 (Video Graphics Adaptor (VGA)) or higher resolution, one or more input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, trackpoint, microphone, trackball, etc.), and one or more power sources (e.g., common household AC and/or DC storage device, etc.). However, even with such incorporation of such a computer and peripherals, the fashion accessory retains the original function of the accessory. Further, the computer and peripherals are contained within a housing which has the exterior appearance of a non-computer accessory (e.g., the appearance of the fashion accessory).

The laptop carrying case is typically made of nylon and is relatively unattractive, and in some cases appears to have low quality (e.g., looks “cheap”). In contrast, after years of style evolution, the briefcase is typically attractively upholstered in leather. The handle and clasps are integrated into the design. The stitching denotes craftsmanship and quality, and is often secured from entry with a key or combination. The briefcase is a mature, well-evolved attractive form factor.
Hitherto, the invention there has been no structure integrating the attractive looking briefcase with the relatively unattractive form factor of the laptop computer.
In view of the foregoing and other problems of the conventional structures, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure for combining a portable computer and a briefcase into a convenient and attractive looking carrying case.
In a first aspect of the present invention, a carrying case (and an integrated briefcase computer including the carrying case) includes a housing having first and second container portions which are selectively opened and closed, the first and second container portions being coupled together, a computer including central processing unit (CPU) integrally housed in one of the first and second container portions of the housing, a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen located in the other of the first and second container portions of the housing, and a keyboard, removably housed in the one of the first and second container portions, for communicating with the LCD screen.
In a second aspect of the invention, an integrated briefcase with a computer houses a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen in the inside top cover and the LCD screen can be covered by folder holders which are attachable by a fastening mechanism, such as a snap, velcro strips and hooks, leather loops and knobs, etc. Basically, any device suitable for holding up a folder holder in a briefcase can be employed. The LCD screen can range in size, but a maximum size would be limited to the inside boundary of the inside top cover of the briefcase.
With the inventive configuration, a portable computer and a briefcase can be combined into a convenient carrying case with an attractive form factor, and can include a large LCD screen, with space for peripheral equipment and office materials. Further, a traveler need not check such a structure as “checked baggage”, thereby saving valuable time (and potentially costly repairs) by not having to check such a structure with airport/train officials.
Other advantages include that the electronics of the laptop are embedded into the body of the briefcase, thereby providing better heat dissipation. In addition, reuse of structural support components allows a reduction in total weight Additionally, embedding the battery in the briefcase body will allow additional flexibility in placement of components. Thus, more standard and bulkier shapes can be used, thereby reducing cost.
Further, a keyboard portion can be used without a briefcase portion for office/home office activity. Thus, the keyboard portion can be detachable, and the keyboard can be used with a monitor alone. Using a normal laptop requires a separate keyboard for use with a monitor because the built-in monitor is not detachable.
Additionally, the briefcase computer preferably accommodates a full-size keyboard. Moreover, the keyboard portion can be transported alone between two sites (e.g., such as home and office) that each have power and a monitor which saves on weight. Further, the keyboard portion can be used separately if the LCD screen burns out (or otherwise becomes defective) or if there is a flaw in manufacturing.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of the structure 100 according to the present invention, in an operational condition with a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen 12 visible to the user;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the preferred embodiment of the structure 100 of the present invention, with the LCD screen 12 being covered by folders 21 of a briefcase;
FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams respectively illustrating the side cross-sectional views of the briefcase computer in an opened state and a closed state;
FIG. 6 illustrates a configuration including extra hinges 60 for allowing the laptop to be used in large form factor accommodations such as airline coach seats or the like.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-6, an integrated briefcase and computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. Generally, the invention provides a new form factor for portable computers.
As is typical, the briefcase has a two-piece configuration including a bottom box-like container portion 10ahaving a bottom surface, and three upstanding wall members 10al preferably rigidly coupled to the bottom surface of the bottom container portion 10a.Another wall member 15, described in further detail below, is foldably coupled to the bottom surface, via hinges (not shown in FIG. 1) or the like. Preferably, at least a portion of the housing (e.g., the portion near the LCD screen and/or a CPU of the computer) includes an insulation material and/or a heat dissipating material (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 12A in FIG. 9).
The bottom portion 10ais coupled to a top box-like container portion 10bvia a coupling structure 10csuch as hinges, fasteners, etc. The inside top of the briefcase 10 houses the LCD screen 12. A keyboard 13 (e.g., a full-size keyboard) is a component form factor.
Preferably, the bottom of the keyboard has the same finish as the inside of the briefcase 10. That is, when the keyboard 13 is turned upside down, it should have the same finish as the inside of the briefcase 10, to provide an aesthetic appeal. (The keyboard shown in FIG. 2 is upside down).
As shown in FIG. 3A, which illustrates a back portion of the keyboard, including a power cord 32, a telephone cord 33, a network cord 34, and other optional cables (or) ports (not shown) are provided at the back of the keyboard 13.
More specifically, there is a power-on switch 31, a spring-loaded reeled out AC power-in cable 32, a spring-loaded, reeled out combination video and DC-power cable 34 for connecting the rest of the briefcase computer, a spring-loaded reeled out telephone cable, and a spring-loaded, reeled out network cable. A disk/CD bay 35 is also provided. The cords preferably reel in when not in use, by spring-loaded retractors or the like. The plugs and cords are hidden from view when the keyboard 13 is turned over, as shown in FIG. 2.
As mentioned above, the bottom container portion 10aof the briefcase 10 includes the foldable, preferably removable wall member 15. Member 15 is preferably located at the front of the briefcase 10 and slides up and completely removes by sliding up out of a groove to become a wrist rest. Latches (not shown) are preferably provided on sides of case. Such a wrist rest assists in helping the user avoid repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
As shown in FIG. 2, a briefcase handle 22 is inset so that the wall member/wrist rest 15 lies flat on a table. The briefcase computer keyboard 13 rests on top of the folder holder 20, inside the briefcase 10 (especially, in close quarters such as on an airplane) or partially or fully outside the briefcase 10. The flaps 21 on the top of the case are hinged to swing outwardly and behind the monitor. Looking at the monitor, the left flap would swing left and then back from the LCD screen 12 to allow a maximum viewable angle. This is an optional portion of the invention.
The keyboard 13 is an integral portion of the briefcase computer and has a maximum width limited to the maximum length of the available space within the interior of the briefcase computer. The keyboard 13 preferably includes a built-in computer mouse or the user can attach a conventional external mouse device.
As mentioned above, the keyboard 13 has attached cables which retract and are hidden from view when the keyboard is turned over including a retractable power cord, a network cord, a telephone cable for dial-up modem connections, and for attachment of other external devices.
Additionally, the keyboard may comprise a single unit including a central processing unit (CPU), disk drive, etc or these elements may be located elsewhere in the briefcase. For example, these elements may be located in the sides or bottom.
The keyboard 13 may also be cordless. For example, the keyboard may rely on an infrared (IR) transmission, whereby no cable connection to the monitor is necessary. FIG. 3B illustrates the back of the keyboard in which an IR transmitter port 30 is provided. In such a case, the IR transmitter port 30 in the keyboard 13 would require a line-of-sight connection with an IR receiver.
The configuration of the internal portion of the briefcase may vary depending upon the specifications of the hardware combined into the briefcase computer, but may include storage space for peripheral equipment such as a portable printer, scanner, extra batteries, power pack, DVD/CD ROM device, adaptors, etc.
The top edge of the computer, housing the recessible handle 22, opposite the connector (e.g., hinge) for the top cover portion 10band the bottom portion 10aof the briefcase, is able to fold-out when the briefcase is opened to function as a wrist rest. The handle 22 is recessed allowing the wrist rest to lie flat. The handle 22 is easily retractable and insertable into the wrist rest. The inside portion on which the user"s wrist rests is preferably made of a comfortable material such as silicone, rubber, padded leather, or interior material of the briefcase.
Audio output components, such as speakers or the like, for use with computer software and the sound card, if so equipped, of the computer, may be built into the LCD screen, the keyboard, or some portion of the briefcase itself.
The construction of the frame (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 90 in FIG. 8) can be of any strong lightweight material such as aluminum, fiberglass, titanium, plastic resin, Kevlar, and rubber. For ease of use and improved utility, the briefcase may include any one or more of retractable wheels on the bottom edge of the briefcase (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 45 in FIG. 4A), a telescopic handle built into the side of the case (e.g., as shown by reference numeral 46 in FIG. 4B), business card holders, pen holders, diskette and optical disk holders, and/or a retractable shoulder strap.
Additionally, a locking mechanism could be provided on the outside of the computer which if violated would render the computer inoperative, in the instance, for example, of theft or tampering. Further, construction of the briefcase may include materials for blocking magnetic charges, such as those produced by magnetic airline tray tables and or radiation from security devices.
There are several key benefits and advantages resulting from the invention as described above. Specifically, the invention will attractively house a large size LCD screen. There is no other candidate for the next form factor once screens become too big for laptops.
The briefcase computer is the most compact form factor for the functionality of a briefcase and the functionality of a computer and reduces the number of pieces of luggage a traveler, particularly a traveler on business may need to carry onto the plane. This allows business travelers to check little or no baggage, and thus saves time reclaiming luggage at the baggage claim area.
Weight is a key competitive characteristic for portable computers. Such a computer/briefcase combination can reduce the total carried weight substantially, by integrating component parts of the computer into the briefcase structure. This savings can be used to increase battery size, weight and functionality while still reducing the total carried weight from a laptop, laptop bag and briefcase.
The housing of a briefcase and the housing of a computer are redundant. Integrating the two results in less expense than for a laptop computer and a high quality briefcase produced separately. The cost of portable computers is continually decreasing, and some portable computers will surely cost less than some briefcases.
Further, the computer is becoming a wearable item, practically a fashion accessory. Wallet phones and computers (e.g., personal data assistants, palm pilots, etc.) are becoming pocket-sized. However, a wallet computer does not now function as a wallet. That is, it cannot store paper money and credit cards. Attractively housing a larger computer requires finding a larger container in another piece of a business person"s wardrobe. The briefcase computer solves these two problems. That is, the combination allows an executive to effectively have all required business materials at hand, e.g., a virtual office, even during traveling. Further, the briefcase computer does so preserving the function of the traditional fashion item it replaces.
Thus, less weight for the combination of a briefcase computer compared with the separate parts is an advantage as well as fewer pieces of equipment and luggage to handle, particularly while traveling, as compared with the current situation of carrying a laptop, a laptop case and a briefcase.
The briefcase computer according to the invention is an attractive larger form factor that can house large LCD screens (e.g., larger than a typical laptop screen), a laptop case, and a briefcase. Finally, the briefcase computer with a nicely finished exterior may be more appealing aesthetically than the human factor of existing computer designs.
FIGS. 3C and 3D illustrate other configurations of the briefcase computer. It is noted that an arc 35 in one comer of the folders 21 provides an ability to pull a cord through the folders 21 and connect the same to the back of the keyboard 13, as shown in FIG. 3C. The other arc 36 may be provided solely for symmetry.
FIG. 3D illustrates the ability to use the keyboard on top of the folders 21 of the briefcase (e.g., similarly to a conventional laptop) in cramped areas.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the closed state and the open state of the briefcase computer, respectively. The keyboard in both Figures is shown in an upside down state.
In FIG. 4A, the LCD monitor 12 is shown along with an extra battery/extra drive bay 48. Additionally, the keyboard 13, CPU 40, disk 41, etc. are shown. It is noted that reference numeral 42 represents the matching interior trim on the bottom of the keyboard 13. Also shown is the removable combination briefcase top/wrist rest 15 with the inset handle.
FIG. 5 illustrates a computer monitor 50 with a keyboard 13 in which the keyboard 13 is separately usable from the briefcase portion for office/home office activity. That is, the keyboard 13 can be used with a monitor 50 alone.
Finally, FIG. 6 illustrates yet another configuration in which extra hinges 60 are provided for allowing the laptop to be used in large form factor accommodations such as airline coach seats or the like.
Thus, with the inventive configuration, a portable computer and a briefcase can be combined into a convenient carrying case with an attractive form factor, and a large LCD screen, with space for peripheral equipment and office materials. Further, laptop cases are stolen much more frequently than briefcases. With the inventive configuration and by being integrated within a briefcase, the laptop computer can be camouflaged to look like a briefcase. Further, the briefcase computer preferably accommodates a full size keyboard.
While the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Thus, for example, instead of a briefcase, the computer could be styled to unobtrusively fit into a particular them of attire (e.g., formal, casual, picnic, beach, wedding, or other attire).
Moreover, as mentioned above, the computer can be a wearable item such as a fashion accessory. Such a fashion accessory can include any of a carrying case, wrist watch, glasses, wallet, briefcase, belt, shoes, handbag, hat, jewelry, pen, backpack, walking stick, etc.
Such fashion accessories can be tailored and designed by one of ordinary skill in the art, after reading the present specification, to incorporate one or more central processing units (CPU), a digital memory (e.g., a random access memory (RAM)) coupled to the CPU(s), a video output, operatively coupled to the CPU(s) and preferably having 640×480 (Video Graphics Adaptor (VGA)) or higher resolution, one or more input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, trackpoint, microphone, trackball, etc.), and one or more power sources (e.g., common household AC and/or DC storage device, etc.). However, even with such incorporation of such a computer and peripherals, the fashion accessory retains the original function of the accessory. Further, the computer and peripherals are contained within a housing which has the exterior appearance of a non-computer accessory (e.g., the appearance of the fashion accessory).
FlexSolar, based in Austin, Texas, provides solar PV solutions for off-grid, travel, recreational vehicles, and more. It is known for its foldable solar modules, which can be propped up on-the-go for electricity supply wherever there is sun.
One such portable product from FlexSolar is its 200 W briefcase, which comes with two modules attached by a hinge, a kickstand to prop the array, and a handle for easy carrying. Included with the portable modules is a 10 A, 12/24 V solar charge controller, and necessary connection cables.
The 200W panel charges everyday items rated 12V or below. Users can connect and charge a smartphone, tablet, laptops, cooler, car battery, etc. If charging a 24V device, the kit may require an MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller, said FlexSolar.
The charge controller is equipped with an LED display with adjustable modes and parameters, dual USB outputs and overcharge and overload protection for charging batteries. The briefcase features an intelligent chip for automatically identifying connected devices, optimizing output current to supply the fastest possible charging speed.
The product is warranted for 2 years. FlexSolar also builds a more portable 100 W briefcase, which weighs 23.2 lbs and has the same maximum power voltage as the 200 W model.
Also built by FlexSolar are several models of highly portable modules linked by numerous hinges for high adaptability. The devices are aimed at charging small USB devices and are small enough to be packed in a day backpack on a hike. There are two-module, 10 W models, three-module 15 W models, and 6-module 40 W models with USB and DC charging ports.
