Abstract

An information processing device has: a support stand having a base that lies flat and a pole that stands on the base; a processing unit that performs data processing; a display panel that displays an image; and a storage unit that stores information. The device further has an adaptor that supports the processing unit and the storage unit, when the adaptor is attached to the support stand. The adaptor also supports the display panel such that the processing unit and the storage unit are hidden behind the display panel.

Claims (34)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a support member having a base that lies flat and a pole that stands on the base;

a processing unit that performs data processing; and

a display section that displays an image,

wherein the support member is attachable to either a first adaptor that supports the display section when the first adaptor is attached to the support member or a second adaptor that supports the processing unit and the display section, such that the processing unit is hidden behind the display section, when the second adaptor is attached to the support member, and

the display section is magnetically attractable to the first adaptor.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein any of plural display sections of different sizes is selectable as the display section, and

the first adaptor is capable of supporting any of the plural display sections.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage unit that stores information,

wherein the processing unit and the storage unit, in the state of being supported by the second adaptor, support the display section, and

the second adaptor supports the display section via the processing unit and the storage unit by making the processing unit and the storage unit bear at least a part of the weight of the display section.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second adaptors are magnetically attractable to the support member.

5. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processing unit and the storage unit are magnetically attractable to the second adaptor, and the display section is magnetically attractable to the processing unit, and the storage unit.

6. An information processing device comprising:

a support member having a base that lies flat and a pole that stands on the base;

a processing unit that performs data processing;

a storage unit that stores information;

a display section that displays an image,

wherein the support member is attachable to either a first adaptor that supports the display section when the first adaptor is attached to the support member or a second adaptor that supports the processing unit and the display section, such that the processing unit is hidden behind the display section, when the second adaptor is attached to the support member, and

when the second adaptor is attached to the support member, the second adaptor laterally supports the processing unit and the storage unit, and also supports a pair of the display sections laterally arranged, such that the processing unit and the storage unit are hidden behind the display sections.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the processing unit and the storage unit, in the state of being supported by the second adaptor, support the respective display sections, and

the second adaptor supports the display sections via the processing unit and the storage unit, by making the processing unit bear at least a part of the weight of the display section supported by the processing unit while making the storage unit bear at least a part of the weight of the display section supported by the storage unit.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing unit and the storage unit are magnetically attractable to the second adaptor, and the display sections are magnetically attractable to the processing unit and the storage unit, respectively.

9. A display device comprising:

a support member having a base that lies flat and a pole that stands on the base; and

an adaptor that supports any display section selected from plural display sections when the adaptor is attached to the support member,

wherein the adapter is either a first adaptor or a second adaptor,

wherein the first adaptor supports a first display section selected from the plural display sections, when the first adaptor is attached to the support member,

wherein the second adaptor supports a second display section selected from the plural display sections and different from the first display section, when the second adaptor in place of the first adaptor is attached to the support member, and

wherein the first and second display sections are magnetically attractable to the first and second adaptors, respectively.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , further comprising a third adaptor as the adaptor,

wherein the third adaptor is capable of supporting two or more first display sections selected from the plural display sections, when the third adaptor in place of the first and second adaptors is attached to the support member.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the first through third adaptors are magnetically attractable to the support member.

12. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the first and second display sections are of different sizes.
