Portable monitor and peripherals hub system
View Patent ↗There is provided a portable screen and hub system, which incorporates the flexibility to install and interchange different types of functional apparatuses, such as a portable monitor, video-camera, microphone, speakers, sensors, characters/figurines, advertising slot and activation buttons among other peripherals. This present invention can interact mechanically, electronically, visually or orally with the user or third parties and be used in different applications. Internal and external structures house additional and/or extended electronic board and connectors which manage, interface and/or detect the signals obtained from the functional apparatuses and/or characters installed on the hub, and receive and/or send signals to an external device, such as a computer, computer monitor, smartphone, tablets, external memory and other apparatuses.
1. A hub device comprising: a unitary body having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and a pair of side walls defining a cavity within said unitary body, said unitary body having an internal power source and a set of electronics for wireless and wired communication with external devices; said front wall having an opening for receiving a base piece into said cavity of said unitary body, said base piece having a bottom surface and a locking ridge extending from said bottom surface; said base piece having a port extending from said base piece and adjustably positioned by a sliding arm; said bottom wall of said unitary body having an interior surface with a locking slot which receives said locking ridge of said base piece in different adjustable positions; said front wall having at least one slot formed in said front wall for receiving an external device; a plurality of parallel resonance bars extending from an interior surface of said top wall of said unitary body into said cavity, when sound comes in by at least one sound input on the front wall, said parallel resonance bars defining acoustic pathways; said top wall having an exterior surface with a mechanical connection, said mechanical connection capable of securing a functional object and electronically transferring power and data between said functional object and said unitary body.
2. The hub device of claim 1 , wherein said sliding arm is adjusted by a position switch located on said base piece.
3. The hub device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said side walls has a sound output.
4. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one input located on said unitary body for receiving data communications.
5. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one input located on said unitary body for receiving video.
6. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one input located on said unitary body for receiving electrical communication.
7. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one output located on said unitary body for sending data communications.
8. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one output located on said unitary body for sending video.
9. The hub device of claim 1 further comprising at least one output located on said unitary body for sending electrical communication.
10. The hub device of claim 1 wherein said bottom wall of said unitary body has an external surface with a second cavity, said second cavity for receiving and storing a monitor.
11. The hub device of claim 1 wherein said monitor is a foldable monitor.
