The stylus pen is inserted through the guide hole such that the stylus pen is coupled within the portable terminal in a state where at least a part of the stylus pen is accommodated in the battery accepting recess. The portable terminal allows a stylus pen accommodating space to be used as a space for receiving a battery pack such that a battery pack with an expanded capacity can be coupled therein. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A portable terminal configured to store a stylus pen therewithin, comprising: a battery accepting recess formed on a face of the portable terminal; and a guide hole disposed at a side of the battery accepting recess, wherein the stylus pen is inserted through the guide hole such that the stylus pen is coupled within the portable terminal in a state where at least a portion of the stylus pen is stored in the battery accepting recess. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The portable terminal of claim 1, further comprising: a fixing hole provided at a side of the battery accepting recess, wherein one end of the stylus pen is configured to be inserted and fixed in the fixing hole in the state where the stylus pen is coupled within the portable terminal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The portable terminal of claim 2, further comprising: a locking member provided adjacent to the fixing hole in the inside of the portable terminal, wherein, when the one end of the stylus pen is configured to be inserted in the fixing hole, the locking member fixes the stylus pen. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The portable terminal of claim 3, further comprising: a locking recess formed on the outer circumferential surface of the stylus pen, wherein, when the one end of the stylus pen is accommodated in the fixing hole, the locking member is engaged with the locking recess, thereby fixing the stylus pen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The portable terminal of claim 1, wherein the stylus pen comprises: a body that can be at least partially positioned in the battery accepting recess in the state where the body is mounted in the portable terminal; a holder that can be removably coupled to one end of the body, and disposed within and fixed in the guide hole; and a strap configured to connect the body and the holder. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The portable terminal of claim 5, wherein the holder is closely contacted with and fixed to the one end of the body in the state where a part of the holder is inserted into the body. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The portable terminal of claim 5, wherein one end of the strap is connected to the one end of the body, the other end of the strap is connected to one end of the holder, the holder is positioned to form a straight line with the body in the state where the other end of the holder is opposed to the one end of the body, and the strap provides an elastic force in a direction to make the other end of the holder come into close contact with the one end of the body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The portable terminal of claim 7, further comprising: a strap slot formed on the outer circumferential surface of the holder, wherein the strap is disposed within the strap slot in the state where the holder is positioned to form the straight line with the body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The portable terminal of claim 1, further comprising: wherein the battery accepting recess is configured to accept at least one of a first battery pack configured to occupy the entirety of the space provided by the battery accepting recess; or a second battery pack configured to occupy a portion of the space provided by the battery accepting recess, and wherein in the state where the stylus pen is coupled within the portable terminal, the second battery pack is coupled within the battery accepting recess. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The portable terminal of claim 9, wherein the first battery pack comprises an expanded capacity battery pack. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The portable terminal of claim 9, wherein the second battery pack comprises a standard capacity battery pack. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The portable terminal of claim 9, further comprising: one or more fastening lugs formed on the battery accepting recess, wherein one of the first and second battery packs coupled within in the battery accepting recess is supported by the fastening lug. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The portable terminal of claim 12, wherein the fastening lugs are formed on the bottom surface and the top side wall of the battery accepting recess, respectively. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The portable terminal of claim 12, the fastening lugs include a first fastening lug formed at one side corner of the battery accepting recess on the top side wall of the battery accepting recess, and the first battery pack includes a fastening recess corresponding to the first fastening lug. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The portable terminal of claim 12, wherein the fastening lugs include a second fastening lug formed on the top side wall of the battery accepting recess, and each of the first and second battery packs includes a fastening recess corresponding to the second fastening lug. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The portable terminal of claim 1, further comprising a cover coupled to a rear of the housing and configured to conceal and protect the battery accepting recess. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the cover is configured to correspond to the second battery pack, and wherein when the cover is coupled to the housing, a support piece is positioned inside battery accepting recess. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The portable terminal of claim 17, wherein the support piece is configured to be disposed at a side of the second battery pack. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the cover is configured to correspond to the first battery pack. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The portable terminal of claim 1, further configured to receive within and couple to a stylus pen holder.
