Abstract
An extension device has such a configuration as to be mounted in an extension bay of an information processing device, and includes an identification-information-acquisition unit.
Claims11
An extension device having such a configuration as to be mounted in a container portion of an information processing device, comprising:
- an identification-information-acquisition unit which receives identification information through a sensor and has a shutter operable to cover a sensing surface of the sensor;
- and
- a carrier unit which carries said identification-information-acquisition unit from a position where said identification-information-acquisition unit is encased in the container portion to a position where said identification-information-acquisition unit is situated outside the container portion so as to permit entry of identification information, said carrier extending to an outside of the container portion by moving out of a position where said carrier is substantially fully encased in the container portion,
- wherein said identification-information-acquisition unit is configured to be detachable from said carrier unit, and is connectable to the information processing device through a cable when said identification-information-acquisition unit is detached from said carrier unit.

An extension device having such a configuration as to be mounted in a container portion of an information processing device, comprising:
- a fingerprint-reading unit which detects a fingerprint through a sensor and has a shutter operable to cover a sensing surface of the sensor;
- and
- a carrier unit which carries said fingerprint-reading unit from a position where said fingerprint-reading unit is encased in the container portion to a position where said fingerprint-reading unit is situated outside the container portion so as to permit reading of a fingerprint, said carrier extending to an outside of the container portion by moving out of a position where said carrier is substantially fully encased in the container portion,
- wherein said fingerprint-reading unit is configured to be detachable from said carrier unit, and is connectable to the information processing device through a cable when said identification-information-acquisition unit is detached from said carrier unit.

A computer system, comprising:
- an information processing device;
- and
- an extension device having such a configuration as to be mounted in a container portion of said information processing device, said extension device including:
- an identification-information-acquisition unit which receives identification information through a sensor and has a shutter operable to cover a sensing surface of the sensor;
- and
- a carrier unit which carries said identification-information-acquisition unit from a position where said identification-information-acquisition unit is encased in the container portion to a position where said identification-information-acquisition unit is situated outside the container portion so as to permit entry of identification information, said carrier extending to an outside of the container portion by moving out of a position where said carrier is substantially fully encased in the container portion, wherein said identification-information-acquisition unit is configured to be detachable from said carrier unit, and is connectable to the information processing device through a cable when said identification-information-acquisition unit is detached from said carrier unit.
