ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a multimedia apparatus using a portable computer and, more particularly, to a multimedia apparatus using a portable computer and designed to mount and dismount the portable computer on a stand, the apparatus being equipped with a stand so that the portable computer can be used mounted or dismounted.
2. Related Art
Recently, with the rapid spread of the desktop computer, portable computers which are easy to transport have also become widely used. The portable computer can be in the form of a notebook computer or a hand held computer.
The portable computer is designed in such a size that the user can handle it simply by hand, and particularly so that it can be conveniently carried from place to place, while performing the general function of the desktop computer.
However, lately hand phones and cameras are being developed and supplied. Cameras range from analog cameras to digital cameras. Moreover, information generated from the hand phone and the camera needs to be readily edited by a computer.
As a result, when pictures are photographed with a digital camera, the photographed pictures are required to be edited on the spot and right away. Also, a communication device such as a hand phone often is required to conduct business more efficiently and should be mounted on the portable computer for convenient use.
Consequently, these devices should be carried with and mounted or dismounted on the portable computer for easy use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, in order to overcome such drawbacks in the art, it is an object of the present invention to enable a user to use a portable computer detached from a stand and to use the portable computer mounted on the stand.
To achieve these and other advantages in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described, there is provided a portable computer which is so designed as to enable the user to use the portable computer detached from the stand and to use the portable computer mounted on the stand. The portable computer has a first connection part in the lower part thereof and a second connection part formed in the stand to enable the second connection part to be engaged with or disengaged from the first connection part of the portable computer.
