Portable server and portable server system
First Claim
1. A portable server for sending and receiving data to and from a plurality of terminal devices, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit for sending and receiving the data via wireless communication;
a radio field intensity input unit that allows the radio field intensity of the wireless communication unit to be input using an interactive interface, having a plurality of keys, located on the outer surface of the portable server;
a memory unit for storing the data;
a battery in a housing for supplying power to an internal circuit, the wireless communication unit, and the memory unit;
an authentication unit that compares a stored password with a password entered at power-on and allows the data to be sent and received only when the passwords match; and
a supply circuit adapted to distribute power to components of the portable server and adapted to draw power from a second power supply when the portable server is connected to a cradle, and to draw power from the battery when the portable server is not connected to the cradle.

Abstract
A portable server has a battery accommodated in a housing and supplying power to a wireless communication unit, to a memory unit, and to an internal circuit. The wireless communication unit sends and receives data to and from terminal devices via wireless communication. The memory unit stores data received by the wireless communication unit, and data to be sent to the terminal devices. As described above, the portable server has the battery for supplying power to the wireless communication unit, to the memory unit, and to the internal circuit. This allows the portable server to send and receive data to and from the terminal devices via wireless communication. Thus, power supplied from an AC outlet becomes unnecessary, and a network can be created anywhere without locational constraints.
