Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil électronique, possédant une face principale munie dc moyens dc liaison avec un utilisateur, tels qu'un clavier de touches et/ou un afficheur, appareil auquel est susceptible d'être attaché un second appareil possedant lui aussi une face principale munie de moyens de liaison avec un utilisateur. The present invention relates to an electronic device, having a main face provided with means for connection with a user, such as a keypad and / or a display, device to which a second device can likewise be attached. main provided with means of connection with a user.

Elle concerne aussi un appareil électronique combiné formé de deux appareils. It also relates to a combined electronic device formed of two devices.

Des appareils électroniques mobiles portables peuvent tenir dans la main, tels des calculatrices, des récepteurs d'appel, des organiseurs et autres appareils de calcul et de communication. De tels appareils sont de plus en plus petits et légers et les fonctions et les services qu'ils procurent augmentent. Il devient ainsi possible d'associer plusieurs apparcils. Un premier appareil associé à un second appareil est connu du document PCT WO 93/12604. Selon ce document, un téléphone possédant une face principale munie de moyens de liaison avec un utilisateur est associé avec un calculateur possédant lui aussi une face principale munie de moyens de liaison avec un utilisateur. Portable mobile electronic devices can be held in the hand, such as calculators, pagers, organizers and other computing and communication devices. Such devices are getting smaller and lighter and the functions and services they provide are increasing. It thus becomes possible to combine several eyebrows. A first device associated with a second device is known from the PCT document WO 93/12604. According to this document, a telephone having a main face provided with means of connection with a user is associated with a computer also having a main face provided with means of connection with a user.

Ces deux appareils forment ensemble un appareil combiné unique, dont les deux faces principales se tournent le dos.These two devices together form a single combined device, the two main faces of which face away from each other.

Selon l'invention, l'appareil comporte des moyens pour recevoir le second appareil de façon amovible, il est muni d'un connecteur électrique pouvant coopérer avec un connecteur du second appareil, dc façon à s'alimenter à partir d'une batterie du second appareil, et ses moyens de liaison avec un utilisateur sont auto-suffisants. According to the invention, the device comprises means for receiving the second device in a removable manner, it is provided with an electrical connector which can cooperate with a connector of the second device, so as to be powered from a battery of the second device, and its means of connection with a user are self-sufficient.

Ainsi le premier appareil fait l'économie d'une batterie, cependant que le second appareil peut entre un appareil pratiquement standard. Thus the first device saves a battery, while the second device can between a practically standard device.

Dans une version avantageuse, l'appareil est un organiseur personnel muni de moyens pour recevoir, comme second appareil, un téléphone mobile, ou bien l'appareil est un téléphone mobile muni dc moyens pour recevoir, comme second appareil, un organiscur personnel.  In an advantageous version, the device is a personal organizer provided with means for receiving, as a second device, a mobile telephone, or else the device is a mobile telephone provided with means for receiving, as a second device, a personal organiscur.

La combinaison d'un téléphone mobile avec un autre appareil, notamment un organiscur, est intéressante, puisque par exemple l'organiseur permet d'enregistrer immédiatement des renseignements obtenus par téléphone. The combination of a mobile telephone with another device, in particular an organiscur, is advantageous, since for example the organizer makes it possible to immediately record information obtained by telephone.

L'appareil comporte avantageusement une entrée pour la connexion d'une alimentation secteur. The device advantageously includes an input for the connection of a mains supply.

Ainsi il peut recharger la batterie du second appareil et, éventuellement, fonctionner sur secteur lorsque le second appareil, avec sa batterie, a été emmené ailleurs. Thus it can recharge the battery of the second device and, possibly, operate on mains power when the second device, with its battery, has been taken elsewhere.

Un appareil qui, lorsqu'un second appareil lui est attaché, constitue un appareil combiné dont les deux faces principales se toument le dos, comporte avantageusement une languette dc protection souple ou articulée qui est attachée, par une de ses extrémités, à l'appareil, de telle façon que cette languette est susceptible de couvrir au moins en partir, lorsqu'un second appareil est présent, la face principale du premier appareil ou la face principale du second appareil. A device which, when a second device is attached to it, constitutes a combined device whose two main faces touch each other's back, advantageously comprises a flexible or articulated protective tongue which is attached, by one of its ends, to the device , so that this tab is capable of covering at least on leaving, when a second device is present, the main face of the first device or the main face of the second device.

Lorsque deux appareils sont assemblés et qu'un utilisateur se sert de l'un quelconque de ces appareils, une telle languette pcrmct dc protéger la face utile de l'autre appareil, qui est par exemple appuyée sur un quelconque support. When two devices are assembled and a user uses any of these devices, such a tab pcrmct dc protect the useful face of the other device, which is for example supported on any support.

Dans un modc dc réalisation particulier, la languette est munie de moyens d'immobilisation à son autre extrémité, ces moyens pouvant par exemple comprendre au moins un aimant fixé à la languette et une pièce magnétique fixée à l'appareil, ou vice-versa. In a particular embodiment, the tongue is provided with immobilization means at its other end, these means can for example comprise at least one magnet fixed to the tongue and a magnetic part fixed to the device, or vice versa.

Lorsque l'appareil est susceptible de comporte un téléphone mobile muni d'un écouteur ct d'un microphone, la languette de protection comporte avantageusement des ouvertures qui sont situées en regard dc l'écouteur et du microphone lorsque la languette de protection recouvre la face principale du téléphone. When the device is likely to include a mobile telephone fitted with an earpiece and a microphone, the protective tab advantageously has openings which are located opposite the earpiece and the microphone when the protective tab covers the face. main phone.

Ainsi on peut utiliscr le téléphone même lorsqu'il est recouvert par la languette. So you can use the phone even when it is covered by the tab.

Un appareil électronique combiné, formé dc deux appareils, comprcnd avanta geuscmcnt un appareil selon l'invention. A combined electronic device, formed of two devices, includes a device according to the invention.

Ces aspccts dc l'invention ainsi que d'autres aspccts plus détaillés apparaîtront plus clairement grâce à la dcscription suivante d'un modc dc réalisation constituant un exemple non limitatif. These aspccts of the invention as well as other more detailed aspccts will appear more clearly thanks to the following description of an embodiment constituting a nonlimiting example.

La figure l représente en coupc un cnscmble électronique combiné formé dc deux apparcils.  Figure l shows in section a combined electronic cnscmble formed by two eyebrows.

La figure 2 est une vue latérale d'un cnsemble électronique combiné avec une languette de protection, illustrant deux positions de la languette. Figure 2 is a side view of an electronic assembly combined with a protective tab, illustrating two positions of the tab.

La figure 3 comprcnd une vue frontale, une vue de dessus, et une vue de dessous d'un cnsemblc électronique combiné avec une languette de protection.  Figure 3 includes a front view, a top view, and a bottom view of an electronic assembly combined with a protective tab.

L'ensemblc dc la figure 1 comprcnd un appareil électronique 1 qui est ici, à titre d'exemple, du typc connu sous le nom d'organiseur personnel. Il possède une face principale munie dc moyens dc liaison avec un utilisateur, ici un écran d'affichage 3 muni de zoncs sensitives pcrmcttant à l'utilisateur d'entrcr des informations en touchant l'écran, et aussi d'un organc dc pointage 21 du genre "track-ball". La référence 10 indique une charnière dont le rôlc scra décrit à propos dc la figure 2. A cet appareil est attaché un second appareil 2 qui est ici, toujours à titre d'exemple, un téléphone mobile, et qui possède une face principale munie de moyens de liaison avec un utilisateur, à savoir un écran 9 et des touches 6, 7, 8. Lcs faces principales des deux appareils 1 ct 2 se tournent le dos. L'appareil 1 est représenté hachuré, ce qui ne signifie pas qu'il est rcmpli dc matière, mais permet de distinguer plus clairement les deux appareils l'un de l'autre, le second n'étant pas hachuré. D'autres exemples d'appareils auxqucls peut s'appliquer la présente dcscription SOnt, cntre autres : des calculatrices, des récepteurs d'appcl, des appareils dc calcul et de communication. The assembly of FIG. 1 comprises an electronic device 1 which is here, by way of example, of the type known by the name of personal organizer. It has a main face provided with means of connection with a user, here a display screen 3 provided with sensitive zones allowing the user to enter information by touching the screen, and also with a pointing device 21 like "track-ball". The reference 10 indicates a hinge whose role scra describes with reference to FIG. 2. To this device is attached a second device 2 which is here, again by way of example, a mobile telephone, and which has a main face provided with means of connection with a user, namely a screen 9 and keys 6, 7, 8. The main faces of the two devices 1 ct 2 turn their backs. The device 1 is shown hatched, which does not mean that it is filled with material, but makes it possible to more clearly distinguish the two devices from one another, the second not being hatched. Other examples of devices to which this description may apply are, among others: calculators, call receivers, calculating and communication devices.

L'organiscur personnel 1 comporte des moyens pour recevoir le second appareil de façon amovible, à savoir ici, au dos dc l'écran 3, un logcmcnt dans lequel est placé le téléphone 2, ainsi que des moyens d'cncliquetage 19 connus en soi, permettant d'assujettir le téléphone dans le logement de l'organiseur. The personal organiscur 1 comprises means for receiving the second device in a removable manner, namely here, on the back of the screen 3, a log in which the telephone 2 is placed, as well as snap-fastening means 19 known per se , to secure the phone in the organizer housing.

L'organiscur personnel est muni d'un connecteur électrique 5 pouvant coopérer avec un connecteur du téléphone, dc façon à s'alimcntcr à partir de la batterie de ce dernier. The personal organiscur is provided with an electrical connector 5 which can cooperate with a connector of the telephone, so as to be powered from the latter's battery.

Scs moyens dc liaison avec un utilisateur sont auto-suffisants, c'est-à-dire que l'organiseur personnel peut être utilisé sans se servir des touches ou de l'afficheur du téléphone. Dc cc fait, le téléphone, qui comporte une batterie 20, peut être d'un modèle pratiquement standard puisquc aucunc liaison spécifique de ses touches et dc son écran avec l'organiscur personnel n'est rcquisc. Cc dernier, dc son côté, peut être utilisé sans Ic téléphone.  These means of connecting with a user are self-sufficient, that is to say that the personal organizer can be used without using the keys or the display of the telephone. Dc cc fact, the phone, which has a battery 20, can be of a practically standard model since no specific connection of its keys and dc its screen with the personal organiscur is required. The latter, on the other hand, can be used without the telephone.

L'organiscur personnel comporte cn outre un connecteur 4 pour le raccordement d'une alimentation scctcur, connue en soi. Ceci permet de recharger la batterie du téléphone ct éventuellement dc fairc fonctionner l'organiseur personnel sur secteur. The personal organiscur further comprises a connector 4 for the connection of a scctcur power supply, known per se. This allows the phone battery to be recharged and possibly the personal organizer to operate on the mains.

En variantc, les rôlcs respectifs dc l'organiseur personnel ct du téléphone pourraient être inversés, auqucl cas l'organiseur personnel possèderait une batterie, et le téléphone rcccvrait l'organiseur personnel comme second appareil.  By varying, the respective roles of the personal organizer and the telephone could be reversed, in which case the personal organizer would have a battery, and the telephone would receive the personal organizer as a second device.

Sur la figure 2, l'organiseur personnel 1 est muni d'unc languette de protection 11, par exemple cn cuir ou en matière plastique souple, attachée ici par une de ses extrémités à l'extrémité supérieure de l'organiseur personnel. Cctte languette est susceptible dc couvrir la face principale dc l'organiseur personnel ainsi que cela est représenté en A, ou, cn retournant la languette, la face principale du téléphone, ainsi que cela est représenté en B. La languette est ici attachée au moyen d'une charnière 10, ct elle est munie de moyens d'immobilisation, c'est-à-dire de fixation à l'organiseur personnel, à son autre extrémité 11B, en bas ici. In FIG. 2, the personal organizer 1 is provided with a protective tab 11, for example made of leather or of flexible plastic material, attached here by one of its ends to the upper end of the personal organizer. This tab is capable of covering the main face of the personal organizer as shown in A, or, by turning the tab, the main face of the telephone, as shown in B. The tab is attached here by means a hinge 10, ct it is provided with immobilization means, that is to say of attachment to the personal organizer, at its other end 11B, below here.

Il est clair que le tcrmc languette pourrait aussi désigner un organe relativement rigide, une sortc dc lame par exemple en matièrc plastique, qui serait articulée, ou comprendrait une partic intermédiaire souple, au niveau des pliages indiqués 13 ou 14. It is clear that the tongue tcrmc could also designate a relatively rigid member, a sort of blade for example made of plastic, which would be articulated, or include a flexible intermediate particle, at the folds indicated 13 or 14.

La languette pourrait aussi prcndre la forme d'un rideau monté sur un enrouleur, évcntuellemcnt situé dans le corps de l'appareil.The tongue could also take the form of a curtain mounted on a reel, possibly located in the body of the device.

La figure 3 illustrc cncore le même ensemble d'appareils, avec un autre point de vue. La figure 3A montre surtout la partic dc la languette 11 recouvrant un des appareils. La languette comporte des ouvcrturcs 17, 18 qui sont situées en regard de l'écouteur et du microphone du téléphone. La figure 3B montre surtout l'extrémité de languette 11 fixée par la charnière 10 à lorganiseur personnel 1. La figure 3C montre surtout l'autre extrémité 11B dc la languette avec les moyens d'immobilisation, qui comprennent ici un aimant 12 fixé à la languette (ou dans l'appareil) et une pièce magnétique non visiblc, fixée en correspondance dans l'organiseur personnel 1 (ou respectivement fixé à la langucttc).  Figure 3 illustrates the same set of devices, from another point of view. Figure 3A shows especially the partic dc the tongue 11 covering one of the devices. The tab has openings 17, 18 which are located opposite the earpiece and the telephone microphone. FIG. 3B especially shows the end of the tongue 11 fixed by the hinge 10 to the personal organizer 1. FIG. 3C especially shows the other end 11B of the tongue with the immobilization means, which here comprise a magnet 12 fixed to the tab (or in the device) and a non-visible magnetic part, fixed in correspondence in the personal organizer 1 (or respectively fixed to the tongue).
