Abstract
Electronic equipment including a radio module and a method for performing radio communication among radio equipment to reduce noise interference while transmitting and receiving radio signals. The electronic equipment includes a main unit body, a display unit body rotatably coupled to the main unit body for holding an LCD, a display circuit board provided on a rear portion of the LCD in the display, and an antenna and a radio module provided on the display circuit board as close as possible to each other. Shield material covers the radio module.
Claims10
Electronic equipment, comprising:
- a main unit body with various devices for operating the electronic equipment;
- a display unit body rotatably coupled to an edge portion of the main unit body for providing a screen display;
- a display circuit board provided at a rear portion of the screen display in the display unit body, wherein the display circuit board is connected to the screen display;
- a radio module provided on the display circuit board for modulating and demodulating radio communication data signals supplied to and from one of the devices installed in the main unit body;
- and
- an antenna provided in the vicinity of the radio module, on the display unit body, for transmitting and receiving the radio communication data.
A radio communication method for use with electronic equipment comprising a main unit body, a display unit body rotatably coupled to the main unit body for holding a screen display, a display circuit board provided in the display unit body, a radio module provided on the display circuit board for processing of radio signals, and an antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals to and from the equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving radio signals through the antenna,
- demodulating the received radio signals in the radio module;
- and
- transmitting the demodulated signals into the main unit body for processing through a USB line.
A radio communication method for use with electronic equipment comprising a main unit body, a display unit body rotatably coupled to the main unit body for holding a screen display, a display circuit board provided in the display, and an antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals, the method including:
- supplying transmission data processed in a main unit body to a radio module installed on the display circuit board through a USB line;
- modulating the supplied transmission data in the radio module for converting the data into a signal within a radio transmission frequency band;
- and
- transmitting the radio signal through the antenna.
