Computer device separable into multiple sub-computers

摘要

A method for separating a dividable computer device into multiple sub-computers may include receiving, by the dividable computer device, a command to separate a sub-computer from the dividable computer device. The method may also include detecting by the dividable computer device separation of the sub-computer and reconfiguring the dividable computer device for operation without the separated sub-computer in response to each sub-computer being separated.

主权项

1. A dividable computer device, comprising:
a plurality of separable sub-computers, wherein at least one of the plurality of separable sub-computers comprises a processing unit; a module to detect separation of each separable sub-computer; a module to reconfigure the dividable computer device for operation without the separated sub-computer in response to each sub-computer being separated; a screen that is separable to create each respective separated sub-computer, each respective separated sub-computer comprising its own touch screen separated from the screen, wherein the separated touch screens of the separable sub-computers each form a unique portion of a complete image when combined to form the screen; a feature associated with each separable sub-computer presented on the screen for selecting which of the separable sub-computers is to be separated in response to receiving a command to separate at least one of the separable sub-computers from the dividable computer device; and a plurality of options presented for selection for association with the sub-computer to be separated in response to receiving a command to separate the sub-computer from the dividable computer device, wherein a set of predetermined features and functionality are loaded on the sub-computer to be separated based on the option or options selected, the set of predetermined features and functionality being load on the sub-computer after the sub-computer is selected to be separated from the dividable computer device and before the selected sub-computer is separated from the dividable computer device, a notification being presented to a user that the selected sub-computer is ready to be separated from the dividable computer device.
