Abstract

A tablet electronic device is disclosed. The tablet electronic device includes a first side, a second side and an electronic component. The first side has a first thickness. The second side is opposite to the first side and has a second thickness. The second thickness is larger than the first thickness. The second side has a recess. The electronic component is accommodated in the recess such that a gravity center of the tablet electronic device is adjusted towards the second side. The tablet electronic device has a holding portion and the center of gravity of the tablet electronic device is arranged in a suitable position, thus the tablet electronic device disclosed herein can be comfortably operated while being held in a user's hand. Furthermore, the tablet electronic device can be set in various ways for comfortable usage.

Claims (22)

1. A tablet electronic device comprising:

a first side having a first thickness;

a second side opposite to the first side and having a second thickness, wherein the second thickness is larger than the first thickness, and the second side has a recess, a rotating part and a holding element;

an electronic component accommodated in the recess; and

an operating body between the first side and the second side, the rotating part is pivotally connected to the operating body;

wherein a gravity center of the tablet electronic device is located near the second side, and when the tablet electronic device is at an upright position, the tablet electronic device is supported by the holding element and the rotating part.

2. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second side is a holding portion of the tablet electronic device.

3. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the operating body and the holding element are integrated formed.

4. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element and the operating body forms an angle therebetween.

5. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element is pivotally connected to the operating body wherein the holding element is pivotally connected to the operating body.

6. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed in the rotating part.

7. The tablet electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the tablet electronic device further includes a fastening element for fastening the rotating part with the operating body and the rotating part with the holding element, and the fastening element also fixing a rotating angle between the rotating part and the operating body and the rotating angle between the rotating part and the holding element.

8. The tablet electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the tablet electronic device further includes an auxiliary element connected to the rotating part and capable of rotating relative to the operating body or the holding element.

9. The tablet electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the rotating part is pivotally connected to the operating body or the holding element via a pivot, and the pivot includes at least an accommodating space for accommodating a handheld touch control element of the tablet electronic device.

10. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component is a battery pack, an adaptor or the combination thereof.

11. The tablet electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the tablet electronic device further includes an accommodating recess and a bracket, wherein the accommodating recess is formed at a back side of the tablet electronic device and the bracket is accommodated in the accommodating recess.

12. A tablet electronic device comprising:

a first side having a first thickness;

a second side opposite to the first side and having a second thickness, wherein the second thickness is larger than the first thickness, and the second side has a recess, a rotating part and a holding element, and the recess is formed in the rotating part;

an operating body located between the first side and the second side; and

an electronic component accommodated in the recess;

wherein a gravity center of the tablet electronic device is located near the second side, and the rotating part is pivotally connected to one side of the holding element away from the operating body.
