## Abstract

Disclosed is a radio modem terminal for mobile communication, comprising a main body having a functional unit for voice communication; a power supply unit hinged at one side of the main body; and a display unit disposed between the power supply unit and the main body, and also hinged with respect to the power supply unit and the main body to form a foldable type mobile communication device. When the radio modem terminal is not connected to a notebook computer, it can be used as a mobile communication terminal, using a power supply unit as its primary power source. However, if the radio modem terminal is connected to the notebook computer, it functions as the PC card, and uses power from the notebook computer as its primary source of power. Accordingly, the radio modem terminal is conveniently transported and used.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer system, comprising:
a display;
a housing configured to be connected to the display, to receive input from an input device, and to process information based on the input received from the input device; and
a phone configured for wireless communication, wherein the housing has a recess configured to receive the phone, and wherein a battery of the phone is charged when the phone is inserted into the recess of the housing by an electrical connection, wherein the phone comprises:
a first body;
a second body rotatably coupled to the first body, wherein the second body has a functional unit; and
a third body rotatably coupled to the first and second bodies.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the functional unit of the second body provides at least one of data or voice communication capability.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first body comprises power supply, the second body comprises a PC card, and the third body comprises a display, and wherein the first, second and third bodies are coupled to form a foldable type mobile communication device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system of claim 3, wherein the second body comprises a connector provided at one end thereof for insertion into the recess in the housing computer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first, second or third body is configured to be inserted into the recess.
