Abstract

A portable electronic device able to measure weight comprises an electronic device having a first body member and a second body member, a weight sensor and a display panel. One side of the first body member and one side of the second body member are pivotally coupled to at least one connecting member. The weight sensor is arranged inside the second body member and weighs an object on top of the first body member. The display panel is disposed on the first body member and displays weight data detected by the weight sensor.

Claims

1. A portable electronic device able to measure weight comprising:

an electronic device including a first body member and a second body member, wherein one side of said first body member and one side of said second body member are pivotally coupled to at least one connecting member, and wherein said first body member is positioned on said second body member, and wherein said first body member has a platform where an object to be measured is placed;

a weight sensor arranged inside said second body member; and

a display panel displaying weight data detected by said weight sensor.

2. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said first body member can be pivotally lifted up from said second body member with said connecting member being a pivotal axis.

3. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said connecting device enables said first body member to slide parallel with respect to said second body member.

4. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said display panel is arranged on a first upper surface of said first body member.

5. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein at least one control key is arranged on said first body member.

6. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said weight sensor includes a plurality of weight transducers respectively arranged at corners of said second body member.

7. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said first body member has a first casing, and wherein said first casing has a plurality of first upper support ribs and a plurality of first lower support ribs.

8. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 7, wherein said first casing has a first upper casing and a first lower casing, and wherein said first upper casing is joined to said first lower casing, and wherein said first upper support ribs are arranged on one surface of said first upper casing, which faces said first lower casing, and wherein said first lower support ribs are arranged on one surface of said first lower casing, which faces said first upper casing, and wherein said first upper support ribs neighbor said first lower support ribs, and wherein said first upper support ribs support said first lower casing, and wherein said first lower support ribs support said first upper casing, whereby is supported a first upper surface of said first body member.

9. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said second body member has a second casing, and wherein said second casing has a plurality of second upper support ribs and a plurality of second lower support ribs.

10. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 9, wherein said second casing has a second upper casing and a second lower casing, and wherein said second upper casing is joined to said second lower casing, and wherein said second upper support ribs are arranged on one surface of said second upper casing, which faces said second lower casing, and wherein said second lower support ribs are arranged on one surface of said second lower casing, which faces said second upper casing, and wherein said second upper support ribs neighbor said second lower support ribs, and wherein said second upper support ribs support said second lower casing, and wherein said second lower support ribs support against said second upper casing, whereby is supported said first body member.

11. The portable electronic device able to measure weight according to claim 1, wherein said electronic device is a notebook computer, a mobile communication device, a personal digital assistant, a music player, or a game machine.
