ABSTRACT:
An operating system is constructed, and optimized in a given environment, for use in an image processing system that includes a first electronic device capable of operating independently and having a standard input/output unit, and a second electronic device which, when the first electronic device has been connected thereto, extends the functionality of the first electronic device and is capable of being used instead of the standard input/output unit to perform operations. To accomplish this, a foldable notebook-type personal computer is folded up and inserted into a docking station through an insertion port so as to be electrically connected to the docking station. The notebook-type personal computer has a CPU for sensing the resources of the personal computer and the resources of the docking station and starting up the operating system upon selecting the optimum resources sensed.
