  • Patent number: 7190640
    Abstract: An electronic equipment having an electronic equipment body, and first and second operation units. The first operation unit includes a display device and a control CPU. The second operation unit includes a display device and a control CPU. The electronic equipment body includes system CPU, a power source for display device for the first operation unit, a power source for control CPU for supplying a power source to the control CPU, a power source for display device for the second operation unit, and a power source for control CPU for supplying a power source to the control CPU, and further includes a position detection part for detecting positions of the operation units. The power source for display device is cut off and then the power source for control CPU is cut off based on the positions of the first and second operation units.

  • Patent number: 6887096
    Abstract: A connector has an operation unit connector that is fixed on an operation unit, and an electronic equipment main body connector that is fixed on an electronic equipment main body. The operation unit connector has plural terminals at regular intervals aligned in a row. The electronic equipment main body connector has plural electrodes at positions corresponding to the terminals at regular intervals. At least one of the electrodes is formed to be shorter than other electrodes and serves as a detecting electrode. The detecting electrode is disposed at the same upper position as the other electrodes, and shorter on the lower side.
