Abstract
A portable data processing device capable of acquiring images and supporting human hands includes a portable data processing module and a portable image acquiring module. The portable image acquiring module for scanning a document is mounted on a side surface of a base of the portable data processing module in order to support the human hands and make an operation interface, which is installed on the base, be easily operated.
Claims27
A portable data processing device, comprising:
- a portable data processing module, which comprises:
- a base having an operation platform, on which a hand of a user may be placed, and an operation interface disposed on the operation platform, wherein the operation platform has a first transversal edge, a second transversal edge, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge;
- and
- a display pivotably connected to the base at the first transversal edge, wherein the display has a display surface facing the operation platform when the display is closed onto the base;
- and
- a portable image acquiring module, which is mounted on the base, for scanning a document and supporting the hand of the user, wherein a longest distance from the portable image acquiring module to the first transversal edge is substantially greater than or equal to a length of the first longitudinal edge, and the portable image acquiring module comprises:
- an image sensing unit;
- a sheet-feeding mechanism for transporting the document;
- and
- a sheet passageway for guiding the document along a transporting path and across the image sensing unit, such that the image sensing unit scans the document, wherein the sheet passageway is configured such that the transporting path passes through an extension surface extending from the operation platform.
A portable data processing module detachably mounted on and connected to a portable image acquiring module to support a hand of a user, the portable image acquiring module comprising an image sensing unit, a sheet-feeding mechanism for transporting a document, and a sheet passageway for guiding the document along a transporting path and across the image sensing unit, such that the image sensing unit scans the document, the portable data processing module comprising:
- a base having an operation platform, on which the hand of the user may be placed, and an operation interface disposed on the operation platform, wherein the operation platform has a first transversal edge, a second transversal edge, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, and the base has an engagement structure to be engaged with the portable image acquiring module, and a connection interface to be electrically connected to the portable image acquiring module;
- and
- a display pivotably connected to the base at the first transversal edge and having a display surface facing the operation platform when the display is closed onto the base, wherein when the portable image acquiring module is mounted on the base, a longest distance from the portable image acquiring module to the first transversal edge is substantially greater than or equal to a length of the first longitudinal edge, and the transporting path passes through an extension surface extending from the operation platform.
A portable image acquiring module to be detachably mounted on and connected to a base of a portable data processing module in order to support a hand of a user, the portable image acquiring module comprising:
- an image sensing unit;
- a sheet-feeding mechanism for transporting a document;
- a sheet passageway for guiding the document along a transporting path and across the image sensing unit, such that the image sensing unit scans the document;
- an engagement structure for engaging the portable image acquiring module to the portable data processing module;
- and
- a connection interface for electrically connecting the portable image acquiring module to the portable data processing module.
