Abstract
A hybrid computer system is provided, including first and second computer devices. The first computer device is configured with the second computer device via a connection unit. Each of the first computer device and the second computer device is capable of operating independently when the first computer device and the second computer device are separated. The first computer device and the second computer device communicate with each other in a master-slave structure and combined with each other into a single system. The peripheral devices of the first and second computer devices are shared, wherein the first and second computer devices are master/slave systems or slave/master systems.
Claims24
A hybrid computer system, comprising:
- a first computer device, having at least one first processing unit, one first storage unit and one first OS;
- and
- a second computer device, having at least one second processing unit, one second storage unit and one second OS,
- wherein the second computer device comprises a connection unit and is combined with the first computer device via the connection unit such that the first and second computer devices are combined into a single system and the first processing unit, the first storage unit and the first OS of the first computer device and the second processing unit, the second storage unit and the second OS of the second computer device are shared with the single system, wherein the first computer device independently utilizes the first processing unit, the first storage unit and the first OS while the second computer device independently utilizes the second processing unit, the second storage unit and the second OS when the first computer device is separated from the second computer device.
A hybrid computer system, comprising:
- a first computer device, having at least one first processing unit, one first storage unit, one first OS and one touch-sensitive screen;
- and
- a second computer device, having at least one second processing unit, one second storage unit, one second OS and one input device, wherein the second computer device comprises a connection unit and is combined with the first computer device via the connection unit,
- wherein the first and second computer devices are combined into a single system and the single system utilizes the input device of the second computer device for inputting data and utilizes the touch-sensitive screen of the first computer device for outputting data and the first processing unit, the first storage unit and the first OS of the first computer device and the second processing unit, the second storage unit and the second OS of the second computer device are shared with the single system, wherein the first computer device utilizes the first processing unit, the first storage unit and the first OS while the second computer device utilizes the second processing unit, the second storage unit and the second OS independently when the first computer device is separated from the second computer device.
