Description

[ Iultifunktionales Notebook [Multifunctional notebook
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Notebook, das vorwiegend für die Kundenberatung konzipiert ist und zwei Bildschirme aufweist.The invention relates to a notebook that is primarily designed for customer advice and has two screens.
Wenn ein Beratungs- bzw. Verkaufsgespräch beim Kunden durchgeführt wird, sind die räumlichen Verhältnisse oft nicht für eine optimale Präsentation geeignet, d. h. moderne Präsentationsmittel, wie Overhead-Projektor mit LC-Display oder Videoprojektor, können nicht eingesetzt werden. Wenn z. B. Versicherungsvertreter oder Finanzdienstleister ihre Kunden in der Wohnung aufsuchen, ist es nicht möglich, eine Projektionswand aufzustellen. Derartige räumliche Veränderungen werden von den meisten Kunden abgelehnt. Es ist daher üblich, einen Laptop-Computer zu benutzen, was jedoch insofern Probleme bringt, da der Verkäufer und der Kunde gemeinsam einen relativ kleinen Bildschirm betrachten müssen.When a consultation or sales conversation is held at the customer, the spatial conditions are often not suitable for an optimal presentation. H. Modern means of presentation, such as an overhead projector with an LC display or a video projector, cannot be used. If e.g. B. insurance agents or financial service providers visit their customers in the apartment, it is not possible to set up a projection screen. Most customers reject such spatial changes. It is therefore common to use a laptop computer, but this is problematic in that the seller and the customer have to view a relatively small screen together.
Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die Präsentation mit einem Computer eine Reihe von Vorteilen bietet. Mittels spezieller Software können z. B. verschiedenste Varianten einer Lebensversicherung durchgerechnet und sofort grafisch, d. h. leicht verständlich und daher überzeugend, dargestellt werden. Da sich diese Präsentationstechnik ständig weiterentwickelt und vom Kunden als sehr komfortabel akzeptiert wird, besteht das dringende Bedürfnis, auch für den kleinen Präsentationseinsatz vor Ort, d. h. in der Wohnung des Kunden oder in einem kleinen Büroraum, diese Technik einzusetzen. Moderne Kleincomputer, wie z. B. Notebooks, bieten auf Grund ihrer hohen Rechenleistung prinzipiell die Möglichkeit, auch programm- und speicherintensive, d. h. anspruchsvolle Präsentationssoftware zu verarbeiten. Somit wäre auch beim Kunden vor Ort eine überzeugende Präsentation möglich, wenn das o. g. Problem der räumlichen Einschränkungen gelöst werden könnte.It has been shown that the presentation with a computer offers a number of advantages. Using special software, e.g. B. Different types of life insurance are calculated and immediately graphically, ie easy to understand and therefore convincing. Since this presentation technology is constantly evolving and is accepted by the customer as very comfortable, there is an urgent need to use this technology also for small presentations on site, ie in the customer's apartment or in a small office space. Modern small computers, such as B. Notebooks, due to their high computing power, offer the possibility to process program and memory-intensive, ie sophisticated presentation software. Thus, a convincing presentation would also be possible at the customer's site if the above-mentioned problem of spatial restrictions could be solved.
Dazu wurde in der EP 00 974 270 eine Präsentationsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die als Laptop-Computer mit einer abnehmbaren Tastatur ausgebildet ist, wobei die Tastatur über eine drahtlose Verbindung an den Laptop- Computer angekoppelt ist und ein aufklappbarer Hauptbildschirm mit Gelenken an dem Grundkörper des Laptop-Computers schwenkbar befestigt ist, wobei unter der abnehmbaren Tastatur im Grundkörper ein zweiter Bildschirm vorgesehen ist, die Gelenke einen Schwenkradius von wenigstens 220 Grad aufweisen und eine Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die das Bild auf dem Hauptbildschirm um 180 Grad dreht. Diese Drehung wird durchgeführt, wenn dem Kunde die Präsentation gezeigt wird, wobei der Kunde dem Verkäufer gegenüber sitzt. Diese Präsentationsvorrichtung eignet sich zur Verwendung als herkömmliches Notebook und als Präsentationsvorrichtung. Wenn jedoch der Kunde und der Verkäufer an einem relativ kleinen Tisch sich nicht direkt gegenüber sitzen, ist diese Präsentationsvorrichtung noch nicht optimal. Der Anwender wünscht sich daher auch für diesen Einsatzzweck eine Lösung.For this purpose, a presentation device was proposed in EP 00 974 270, which is designed as a laptop computer with a removable keyboard, the keyboard being coupled to the laptop computer via a wireless connection and a hinged main screen with joints on the base body of the laptop. Computer is pivotally attached, a second screen is provided under the removable keyboard in the base body, the joints have a pivot radius of at least 220 degrees and a control device is provided which rotates the image on the main screen by 180 degrees. This rotation is carried out when the customer is shown the presentation, with the customer sitting opposite the seller. This presentation device is suitable for use as a conventional notebook and as a presentation device. However, if the customer and the seller are not sitting directly opposite each other at a relatively small table, this presentation device is not yet optimal. The user therefore wants a solution for this purpose.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Schaffung einer Präsentationsvorrichtung, die auch unter sehr beengten räumlichen Verhältnissen und wenn sich der Kunde und der Verkäufer nicht direkt gegenüber sitzen, eine überzeugende Präsentation ermöglicht und einfach und bequem zu bedienen ist.The object of the invention is to provide a presentation device that allows a convincing presentation and is easy and convenient to use even in very confined spaces and when the customer and the seller are not directly opposite.
Die Aufgabe wird mit einem multifunktionalen Notebook nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Das multifunktionale Notebook hat wie ein herkömmliches Notebook einen schwenkbaren Hauptbildschirm, der im eingeklappten Zustand auf dem Grundkörper des Notebooks aufliegt und die Tastatur abdeckt. Die Tastatur ist abnehmbar, und unter der Tastatur ist ein zweiter Bildschirm angeordnet. Weiterhin ist das Gelenk des schwenkbaren Hauptbildschirms so ausgebildet, daß der Hauptbildschirm um wenigstens 180 Grad schwenkbar ist. Die Besonderheit dieses Notebooks ist die Verwendung von sogenannten OLED- Displays (Organic Light Emitting Devices) oder anderer Displays^mit vergleichbaren Eigenschaften. OLED-Displays sind dem Fachmann bekannt und brauchen daher nicht näher erläutert zu werden. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Displays können OLED-Displays auch seitlich oder schräg betrachtet werden, ohne daß sich das Bild wesentlich verschlechtert.The object is achieved with a multifunctional notebook according to claim 1. Like a conventional notebook, the multifunctional notebook has a swiveling main screen which, when folded, lies on the main body of the notebook and covers the keyboard. The keyboard is removable and a second screen is located under the keyboard. Furthermore, the hinge of the pivotable main screen is designed such that the main screen can be pivoted by at least 180 degrees. The specialty of this notebook is the use of so-called OLED displays (Organic Light Emitting Devices) or other displays ^ with comparable properties. OLED displays are known to the person skilled in the art and therefore do not need to be explained in more detail. In contrast to other displays, OLED displays can also be viewed from the side or at an angle without the image deteriorating significantly.
Für die weitere Erläuterung wird davon ausgegangen, daß das Notebook auf einem Tisch steht. Wenn einem Käufer eine Präsentation gezeigt werden soll, wird der Hauptbildschirm um 1 80 Grad aufgeklappt, so daß der Hauptbildschirm waagerecht und parallel zur Tischoberfläche ausgerichtet ist. Die Tastatur wird vom Verkäufer abgenommen und so gelegt, daß sie vom Verkäufer bequem bedient werden kann. Wenn der Käufer dem Verkäufer gegenüber sitzt, wird das Bild des Hauptbildschirmes um 1 80 Grad gedreht. Wenn der Käufer jedoch rechts oder links vom Verkäufer sitzt, wird das Bild wahlweise um 90 Grad oder um 270 Grad so gedreht, daß es der Käufer gut einsehen kann.For the further explanation it is assumed that the notebook is on a table. When a presentation is to be shown to a buyer, the main screen is opened 180 degrees so that the main screen is horizontal and parallel to the table surface. The keyboard is removed from the seller and placed so that it can be operated comfortably by the seller. When the buyer sits opposite the seller, the image on the main screen is rotated 1 80 degrees. However, if the buyer sits to the right or left of the seller, the image is rotated either 90 degrees or 270 degrees so that the buyer can see it well.
Diese Maßnahme ermöglicht erstmals eine elektronische Ausrichtung des Bildschirmes zum Betrachter hin, unabhängig von seiner Sitzposition. Dadurch wird vermieden, daß das Notebook selbst in eine bestimmte Position gerückt, d. h. bewegt werden muß.This measure enables for the first time an electronic alignment of the screen towards the viewer, regardless of his sitting position. This prevents the notebook itself from being moved into a certain position, i. H. must be moved.
Nach Anspruch 2 ist der Hauptbildschirm um ein Zentralgelenk auch horizontal drehbar. Dadurch kann der Bildschirm horizontal um 180 Grad gedreht werden und dann mit seiner Rückseite auf die Tastatur geschwenkt werden. Dieses Merkmal ermöglicht die Nutzung der Erfindung auch als Tablett-PC.According to claim 2, the main screen can also be rotated horizontally about a central joint. This allows the screen to be rotated horizontally by 180 degrees and then swiveled its back onto the keyboard. This feature also enables the invention to be used as a tablet PC.
Nach Anspruch 3 ist die Tastatur seitlich einschiebbar, wenn das Notebook als Tablett-PC genutzt wird. Dieses Merkmal verbessert die Bedienbarkeit. Z. B. in dem Fall, wenn das Notebook in der Tablett-PC-Stellung auf einem Ständer steht und als Desktop-Flachbildschirm verwendet wird, liegt die Tastatur auf dem Schreibtisch. Falls das Notebook als mobiler Tablett-PC verwendet, d. h. weggetragen werden soll, muß nicht extra der Bildschirm aufgeklappt werden, um die Tastatur einzufügen.According to claim 3, the keyboard can be inserted laterally when the notebook is used as a tablet PC. This feature improves usability. For example, if the notebook is on a stand in the tablet PC position and is used as a desktop flat screen, the keyboard is on the desk. If the notebook is used as a mobile tablet PC, i. H. to be carried away, the screen does not have to be opened to insert the keyboard.
Nach Anspruch 4 eine Signalvorrichtung vorgesehen, die ein Signal abgibt, wenn das Notebook mehr als eine vorbestimmte Distanz von der Tastatur entfernt wird. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß die Tastatur nicht vergessen wird. Das Signal ist vorzugsweise ein akustisches Signal, es kann jedoch auch ein Vibrationssignal sein.According to claim 4, a signal device is provided which emits a signal when the notebook is removed more than a predetermined distance from the keyboard. This ensures that the keyboard is not forgotten. The signal is preferably an acoustic signal, but it can also be a vibration signal.
Die Erfindung wird an Hand der beigefügten schematischen Zeichnungen erläutert:The invention is explained with reference to the attached schematic drawings:

In Fig. 1 ist die Draufsicht auf das Notebook gezeigt, wobei der Hauptbildschirm 1 um 180 Grad aufgeklappt ist und die Tastatur 2 (in dieser Fig. nicht gezeigt) abgenommen ist. Der Verkäufer V blickt auf den zweiten Bildschirm 3 und sieht das Bild als senkrechten Pfeil. Der erste Kunde K I sitzt dem Verkäufer gegenüber und sieht ebenfalls das Bild eines senkrechten Pfeils I. Der zweite Kunde K II sitzt links vom Verkäufer V und sieht gleichfalls das Bild, d. h. den gedrehten Pfeil II in der richtigen Darstellung. Analog gilt das auch für den rechts sitzenden Kunden K III. Je nach dem, wo der Kunde sitzt, wird mittels einer Steuereinrichtung das Bild zum Kunden gedreht. Da dem Fachmann bekannt ist, wie eine Steuereinrichtung zur Bilddrehung aufgebaut ist bzw. funktioniert, wird darauf nicht weiter eingegangen.FIG. 1 shows the top view of the notebook, the main screen 1 being opened by 180 degrees and the keyboard 2 (not in this figure shown) is decreased. The seller V looks at the second screen 3 and sees the image as a vertical arrow. The first customer KI sits opposite the seller and also sees the picture of a vertical arrow I. The second customer K II sits to the left of the seller V and also sees the picture, ie the rotated arrow II in the correct representation. The same applies to customer K III on the right. Depending on where the customer is sitting, the control device rotates the picture to the customer. Since the person skilled in the art knows how a control device for image rotation is constructed or works, it will not be discussed further.
Die Fig. 2 zeigt das Notebook in der Notebookposition (Normalposition) mit abgenommener Tastatur.2 shows the notebook in the notebook position (normal position) with the keyboard removed.
Die Fig. 3 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Notebook mit einem Zentralgelenk 4. Das Zentralgelenk 4 und dessen Funktion sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt.

Jetzt kann der Benutzer das Notebook wie einen Tablett-PC verwenden, d. h. z. B. zu einem Meeting gehen, um sich handschriftliche Notizen zu machen. Sollte er dabei vergessen haben, die Tastatur einzufügen bzw. mitzunehmen, wir er durch ein akustisches Signal daran erinnert, da das Notebook und die Tastatur 2 drahtlos signaltechnisch verbunden sind und eine Signalvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die bei Überschreitung einer vorgegebenen oder einstellbaren Distanz zwischen Notebook und Tastatur 2 das Signal auslöst. Derartige Signalvor- richtungen sind dem Fachmann prinzipiell bekannt, so daß sie lediglich an die vorliegenden Verhältnisse angepaßt werden müssen.5 shows the notebook according to the invention with the central joint 4 in the tablet position and with the keyboard 2 pushed in. Now the user can use the notebook like a tablet PC, ie go to a meeting, for example, to take handwritten notes , If he has forgotten to insert or take the keyboard with him, he will be reminded by an acoustic signal, since the notebook and the keyboard 2 are wirelessly connected for signaling purposes and a signal device is provided which, if a predetermined or adjustable distance between the notebook and is exceeded Keyboard 2 triggers the signal. Such signal Directions are known in principle to the person skilled in the art, so that they only have to be adapted to the existing conditions.
Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, daß mit der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Präsentationsvorrichtung geschaffen wurde, die auch bei räumlich sehr beengten Verhältnissen eine gute Präsentationssituation ermöglicht, ohne daß die Präsentationsvornchtung wesentliche zusätzliche Bauelemente oder Funktionsgruppen erfordert. Somit liegt erstmalig ein Notebook vor, das neben seiner herkömmlichen Notebookfunktion auch als Tablett-PC und zusätzlich als Präsentationsvorrichtung auch für räumlich sehr beengte Verhältnisse verwendbar ist. In summary, it can be stated that with the present invention a presentation device has been created which enables a good presentation situation even in very confined spaces, without the presentation device requiring essential additional components or functional groups. This is the first time that a notebook is available which, in addition to its conventional notebook function, can also be used as a tablet PC and also as a presentation device even for very tight spaces.
