Abstract

An electronic device stand includes a fastening member fastenable to an installation plane. An elongated member is connected to the fastening member. A mount member is connected by the elongated member to the fastening member. The mount member includes mechanical mounting structures configured to mount plural types of electronic devices.

Claims

1. An electronic device stand, comprising:

a fastening member fastenable to an installation plane;

an elongated member connected to the fastening member; and

a mount member connected by the elongated member to the fastening member, wherein the mount member includes mechanical mounting structures configured to mount plural types of electronic devices.

2. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, wherein the elongated member has a changeable posture to change the position of the mount member relative to the fastening member.

3. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a power supply unit that supplies power to the electronic devices, wherein the power supply unit transforms power in accordance with the electronic devices to supply the electronic devices with different levels of power.

4. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

an image signal input terminal that receives an image signal;

an image signal processing circuit that performs image signal processing on the image signal received by the image signal input terminal; and

an image signal output terminal that outputs the image signal that has undergone the image signal processing.

5. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

an audio signal input terminal that receives an audio signal;

an audio signal processing circuit that performs audio signal processing on the audio signal received by the audio signal input terminal; and

an audio signal output terminal that outputs the audio signal that has undergone the audio signal processing.

6. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, wherein the fastening member and the elongated member are separable from each other.

7. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, wherein the elongated member and the mount member are separable from each other.

8. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a communication circuit communicably connecting the electronic devices mounted on the mount member and an external device that is separated from the mount member.

9. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

an operation unit operable by a user; and

a control circuit that controls a function of the stand in accordance with the operation performed by a user on the operation unit.

10. The electronic device stand according to claim 9, further comprising a display that shows information related to the function of the stand.

11. The electronic device stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a signal receiver that receives an external signal from an external unit; and
