Mobile computer-based host
A mobile computer-based host includes a main body, at least one multifunctional module, and at least one lid. Each multifunctional module has the same size and shape. The main body includes a case and a host module, and the case encloses the host module and includes at least one module slot, each having the same size and shape for accommodating the multifunctional module. The lid covers the corresponding module slot to isolate and protect the multifunctional module. The module slots of the present invention are allowed to install the various multifunctional modules to provide different and specific functions without changing the original design of the size and shape. Thus, the application field of the mobile computer-based host is widely expanded to meet various demands in the future, and the lifetime is greatly prolonged without wasting any precious resource, thereby achieving the goal of environmental protection.
1. A mobile computer-based host, comprising:
a main body comprising a case and a host module, the case enclosing the host module and comprising at least one module slot, each module slot provided on a front surface or a back surface of the case, the front and back surfaces having a surface area larger than other surface areas of the case;
at least one multifunctional module detachably accommodated in the at least one module slot, each multifunctional module having a connection port electrically connected to a connection interface of the module slot, the connection port being disposed on a side surface of the multifunctional module and the connection interface being located on a side wall of the module slot; and
at least one lid covering the at least one module slot to isolate and protect the at least one multifunctional module,
wherein each module slot has the same size and shape, each multifunctional module has the same outer shape and size to fit the size and shape of the module slot, the multifunctional module is inserted into or detached from an accommodation space in the module slot in a direction perpendicular to the front or back surface of the case, the connection port and the connection interface are connected on a plane parallel to the insertion direction and perpendicular to the front or back surface, and the accommodation space is not changed when the multifunctional module is accommodated in or detached from the module slot.
2. The mobile computer-based host as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multifunctional module has a thickness less than a depth of the module slot, and after the at least one lid covers the at least one module slot, a smooth surface is formed by an outer surface of the at least one lid and the front or back surface of the case.
3. The mobile computer-based host as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lid is detachably fixed to the case by means of screws, buckles, or latches.
4. The mobile computer-based host as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multifunctional module is a 5G communication module, a sub-system module, a smart input/output (IO) module, a Wi-Fi module, or an integrated module comprising a battery and an IO interface.
