EXPANSION MODULE FOR MOBILE DEVICE AND MOBILE DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a main body having a display unit, the main body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
a first magnetic member coupled to the main body; and
an expansion module detachably coupled to the main body, the expansion module being configured to expand capabilities of the mobile device,the expansion module including;
a first section to which the main body is mounted, at least a portion of the first section being covered by the first surface of the main body;
a second section pivotally connected to the first section;
a second magnetic member provided at the first section to face the first magnetic member;
an alignment mechanism configured to support the first section, in a first state such that a plane defined by the first section intersects the second section in the first state; and
a function unit connectable to the main body to expand capabilities of the mobile device, the function unit being provided at the second section.
