  • Patent number: 8625272
    Abstract: A portable electronic device capable of signal or power transmission and standing on a surface in a vertical or near-vertical orientation at the same time is provided in the present invention. The portable electronic device includes a flat body having a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a through hole passing through the flat body, and the through hole extending from the front surface to the rear surface. Herein the through hole is adapted to couple with an external docking element for signal or power transmission. Thus, the portable electronic device is capable of signal or power transmission and standing on the supporting surface at the same time via the external docking element coupling with the through hole.

  • Publication number: 20120188697
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a portable device and a docking station is provided. The portable device has a display surface and a first restricting element. The docking station includes a base and a frame. The base has a supporting surface, wherein the portable device is adapted to be placed on the supporting surface. The frame is disposed around the base and has a second restricting element, wherein the frame is adapted to slide related to the base to drive the second restricting element to be aligned to the first restricting element of the portable device placed on the supporting surface, such that the portable device is fixed to the base by means of a magnetic attraction force between the first restricting element and the second restricting element.

  • Publication number: 20120188700
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a portable device and a docking station is provided. The portable device has a display surface and the first restricting element. The docking station includes a base having a supporting surface and the second restricting element disposed on the supporting surface. The first restricting element is latched to the second restricting element when the portable device is attached to the supporting surface. Besides, the portable device is adapted to stand on the base by restricting the relative position of the portable device and the second restricting element.
