External electronic device and related computer system
An external electronic device for connecting to a portable electronic device is disclosed in the present invention. The external electronic device includes a base, a sliding component, a holder and a first hinge mechanism. The sliding component is slidably disposed on the base. The holder includes a body, an accommodating portion, an attractive component and a pushing portion. The body supports the portable electronic device. The accommodating portion whereinside the magnetic is movably disposed is formed on the body. The holder utilizes a magnetic force to attract a magnetic of the portable electronic device, so as to connect the portable electronic device with the holder. The pushing portion is disposed on an outer surface of the body for contacting an inclined guiding structure of the sliding component, so as to move the sliding component relative to the base. The first hinge mechanism is disposed between the base and the holder.

a body for holding the portable electronic device;
an accommodating portion disposed on the body;
a second attractive component disposed on the accommodating portion, the second attractive component attracting the first attractive component to connect the portable electronic device with the holder; and
a pushing portion disposed on an outer surface of the body;
a first hinge mechanism disposed between the base and the holder, the holder rotating relative to the base via the first hinge mechanism; and
a sliding component slidably disposed on the base, the pushing portion pressing the sliding component to move the sliding component away from the holder and to expose at least one part of the sliding component out of the base when the holder rotates relative to the base.
12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the sliding component comprises an inclined structure adapted to contact against the pushing portion.
13. The computer system of claim 11 wherein the at least one part of the sliding component is a support structure, and the pushing portion pushes the support structure to move out of the base for changing the center-of-gravity position of the external electronic device when the holder rotates relative to the base.
14. The computer system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a chute seat disposed on the base, a guide slot being formed on the chute seat; and
a first slide shaft disposed on the sliding component, an end of the first slide shaft being movably disposed inside the guide slot.
