Abstract

The invention provides a conference presentation system consisting of a portable presentation controller and a main body. The portable presentation controller can be connected to or disconnected from the main body. Since the portable presentation controller itself has a wireless communication function, the conference presentation system of the invention can provide a complex multi-function system having a conference system, a presentation controller, a mobile microphone, a loudspeaker, a music station and so on.

Claims

1. A conference presentation device applied to an information processing device having a presentation module, the conference presentation device comprising:
