Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the shape, external configuration, and structural arrangement of a computer device for artificial intelligence-driven regulatory compliance, predictive risk analysis, and digital governance management.

[0002] More specifically, it relates to a computer device comprising a box-shaped main housing with a display unit on the front, a user input unit arranged below the display unit, a communication block with an antenna mounted on the upper surface and protruding upward, an audio unit arranged on the communication block, an external data input receiving unit on the side, and a plurality of connection ports arranged as a port area grouped on the housing. Further, the device comprises a plurality of base support parts protruding downward on the bottom surface to stabilize the housing and form a clearance for accommodating the battery unit.

[0003] This invention relates to a computer device used for regulatory compliance operations, predictive risk analysis, and digital governance management. More specifically, it relates to the hardware configuration and structural arrangement of a device comprising a user interface unit, a communication and audio unit, a plurality of secure data ports, and a stable base support.

Background Art

[0004] [[ID=二十]]In regulatory compliance and governance operations, computer terminals are frequently placed in offices, control rooms, inspection sites, mobile field environments, etc. In these environments, the terminal needs to be connected to multiple external sources (institutional networks, external storage, authorized peripheral devices, official server gateways). In such environments, the external shape and arrangement of functional parts such as the display surface, input surface, port surface, and communication elements directly affect operability, connection reliability, and operational safety.

[0005] Traditional terminals typically consist of a box-shaped enclosure with a display and basic input functions, but their external configuration is often not optimized for compliance workflows. For example, when multiple compliance-related peripherals need to be connected, ports are frequently scattered on different sides, arranged without logical order, or placed too close together. This leads to cable tangles, increases the risk of misconnections, and makes it difficult for operators to verify that the correct devices are connected, especially in high-pressure compliance work.

[0006] Furthermore, many conventional devices do not offer a dedicated external configuration for receiving external compliance data. In practice, compliance data sets may arrive via removable modules or external devices that require repeated attachment and detachment. If the enclosure does not have a clearly defined receiving area (such as a clear opening / window-like area located above or near the port cluster), operators are forced to use makeshift configurations or auxiliary adapters, which increases operational errors and reduces efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, conventional structures often lack a practical configuration for secure and controlled connections. For example, cybersecurity-related peripherals (authentication tokens, secure adapters, inspection tools) are typically connected via general-purpose ports mixed with regular ports. Without physically identifiable port configurations and grouped port areas that separate governance connections (e.g., government server connections) from regular connections, devices become prone to operational errors, and standardization of external layouts across installation locations becomes difficult.

[0008] Furthermore, conventional devices often lack physically integrated placement for communication and voice guidance. When wireless communication modules and antennas are embedded inside the enclosure and external placement is not optimized, wireless stability can be reduced, especially if the device is surrounded by cables or placed near other equipment. Also, if the speaker / microphone opening is located at the bottom of the enclosure, the sound path can be obstructed by the desk surface or surrounding objects, reducing the effectiveness of voice alerts and operator guidance.

[0009] Furthermore, conventional terminals often have limitations in alarm visibility due to flaws in their external configuration. Even if they have an alarm function, the alarm indicator is not always positioned to be visible from a typical viewing angle. The lack of a dedicated, elongated alarm band or a separate LED indicator placed on an easily visible surface can lead to delays in response or oversights, especially when the user is focused on document creation or operating peripherals rather than the screen.

[0010] Portability and installation stability are also recurring issues. Many devices are designed for fixed environments and have a bottom that makes direct contact with the mounting surface. When used in the field or at multiple locations, such a structure can become unstable on uneven surfaces, potentially obstructing airflow or hindering the effective housing of batteries and power modules. Without downward-projecting base supports positioned at the corners to lift the enclosure and create clearance, it is difficult to maintain a stable position while allowing for protected bottom-mounted components (such as battery units).

[0011] Therefore, a computer device with improved external shape, structure, and configuration is required. Specifically: (i) a box-shaped main enclosure with clearly defined front display and input arrangement; (ii) a dedicated external compliance data receiving area; (iii) a logically grouped port area including network and government server connection areas; (iv) an upper protruding communications block with antenna and audio grille areas for improved communication and alarm transmission; and (v) a base support that stabilizes the device, lifts it off the mounting surface to ensure clearance, and allows for optional battery housing. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0012] In regulatory compliance and digital governance operations, computer equipment typically operates in time-constrained environments (compliance desks, audit rooms, inspection sites, or mobile deployments) while needing to connect to numerous external sources (institutional networks, secure peripherals, removable compliance datasets, official server gateways, etc.). However, traditional computer terminals are often designed as general-purpose boxes with displays and input surfaces, lacking external configurations specific to compliance workflows. As a result, ports are often spread across multiple surfaces, spaced too close together, or placed in areas prone to cable congestion, making it difficult to identify the correct connection path and increasing the risk of misconnections when multiple compliance devices are connected.

[0013] Furthermore, conventional structures often lack a clear area dedicated to external compliance data, and also lack the physical arrangement to separate security and governance-related connections. For example, government server connections may be physically mixed with normal I / O ports, or cybersecurity peripherals may be connected via the same cluster as standard devices. In addition, in devices that rely on wireless communication, antennas and communication components may be embedded in a way that makes them susceptible to shielding by surrounding objects and cables, or acoustic openings may be positioned where sound is blocked by the desk surface. In such cases, warning sounds and guidance may be missed. Moreover, many devices do not provide a stable base structure for portable use and do not form adequate clearance space for bottom-mounted battery units. Therefore, computer devices are needed with shapes, structures, and external arrangements configured to support safe, orderly, and stable compliance operations.

[0014] In particular, the challenge is to provide a computer device with the following improved configurations: (i) clearly defined front operating surfaces for viewing and input; (ii) dedicated external compliance data receiving area; (iii) grouping multiple connection points in a rational layout, including network and government server connections; (iv) improved communication and voice alarm transmission through an independent upper communication structure; and (v) stable installation and optional battery housing through a raised base structure, so that the device can practically support compliance and governance operations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a computer device (100) formed around a box-shaped main housing whose external shape is composed of functional surfaces and protruding structures. A display unit (1) is arranged on the first vertical surface as the main display area, and a user input unit (2) is arranged on the same surface below the display unit (1) as the main operation area. This front arrangement provides the operator with an immediately recognizable operation surface, reduces the need to rotate the device during compliance work flows, and thus prevents operation errors caused by complex operations.

[0016] Furthermore, the device includes an external compliance data input receiving unit (10) on another vertical surface, and below this receiving unit (10), a grouped port area is formed that includes at least the first to fourth connection ports (31 to 34), a network connection port (4), and a government server connection port (5). By physically consolidating these connections on one surface (preferably located below the compliance data receiving area), the device establishes a standardized connection area where cables and peripherals can be managed and viewed. In addition, a wireless data input port (12), a cybersecurity input data port (13), and an external computer device connection port (14) are provided as externally identifiable connections, supporting controlled interconnection with secure peripherals and external monitoring devices while maintaining a practical layout consistent with the overall enclosure design.

[0017] Furthermore, the device includes a communication block (6) fixed to the top surface of the main housing, and an antenna (7) is provided on the communication block (6). An audio unit (8) is located on the communication block (6), which includes a speaker and a microphone unit (81). As a result, the sound emission and sound capture sections are positioned at a high location to ensure a clear sound path when the device is placed on a desk. The device also includes base supports (91-94) that protrude downward from the bottom surface, thereby raising the housing above the mounting surface and stabilizing the device. This lifting structure creates a clearance space for housing the battery unit (11) located on the bottom surface. In addition, to provide clear visual notifications during compliance and governance operations, a long, narrow strip-shaped alarm unit (15) and an adjacent LED indicator (16) are provided on the visible surface. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] The above-described structural arrangement improves operational safety and practical usability of the computer device (100) in a compliance and governance environment. Firstly, the display unit (1) and user input unit (2) are positioned on a single front, providing a clearly defined operator interface area, reducing operational complexity, and enabling the operator to maintain a consistent posture and line of sight during repetitive compliance tasks. Furthermore, the presence of a dedicated external compliance data input receiving unit (10) provides a physically identifiable location for compliance data processing, improving workflow clarity and reducing errors during repetitive data acquisition.

[0019] Secondly, by consolidating multiple connection ports (31-34, 4, 5) on the same plane and coordinating them with the receiving unit (10), the clutter of cables is reduced, the possibility of misconnections is minimized, and the inspection and verification of connection status is made easier. In particular, since the government server connection port (5) is included in the predefined portion of the group area, governance-related connections can be managed consistently, and the network connection port (4) supports stable infrastructure connections. Furthermore, by providing identifiable ports such as the cybersecurity input data port (13) and the external computer device connection port (14), the device supports a controlled operational configuration in which security-related connections and monitoring connections are physically organized.

[0020] Thirdly, the upper communication block (6) equipped with an antenna (7) improves communication reliability in actual installation environments by ensuring a stable wireless path above surrounding cables and objects on the desk, and by reducing obstruction. By placing the audio unit (8), including a speaker and microphone unit (81), in the communication block (6), the audibility and effectiveness of alarms and operator guidance are enhanced, and multimodal notifications are realized in conjunction with the alarm unit (15) and LED indicator (16). Furthermore, the base supports (91-94) stabilize the device and lift it off the mounting surface, improving installation on uneven surfaces and providing a protected clearance area that can accommodate the battery unit (11). As a result, the device can be continuously used in both fixed and portable environments while maintaining a clean and reliable external configuration suitable for regulatory compliance, predictive risk analysis support, and digital governance management.

[0022] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the back / bottom configuration of the computer device (100), showing the battery unit (11), base supports (91 - 94), wireless data input port (12), cyber security input data port (13), external computer device connection port (14), and alarm unit (15) with an LED indicator (16).

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] An embodiment of the computer device (100) for AI - driven regulatory compliance, predictive risk analysis, and digital governance management will be described in detail while referring to the configuration of its components and their spatial arrangement. This embodiment is particularly related to the external structure, physical shape, and positional relationship of various functional units integrated into the device.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the computer device (100) includes a box - shaped main housing that forms a housing for the processing circuit and interface wiring (internal components are housed within the main housing). A display unit (1) is provided on the first vertical surface of the housing. The display unit (1) may be a flat - panel display for displaying dashboards such as compliance status, risk - scoring results, policy updates, audit trails, governance tasks, etc.

[0025] Below the display unit (1), a user input unit (2) is arranged on the first vertical surface. The user input unit (2) includes one or more of a keypad, touch - input area, function keys, biometric authentication or access buttons, or a composite input strip, enabling an authorized operator to interact with the governance workflow and compliance operations.

[0026] On another vertical surface, an external compliance data input receiving unit (10) is provided. As a practical implementation example, the external compliance data input receiving unit (10) is an elongated window-shaped area suitable for receiving or interfacing with an external compliance data set, such as a removable storage interface cover area, a scan / read opening, a guided insertion / placement area for a standardized compliance data module, etc. The receiving unit (10) is arranged at a position where the operator can quickly access external data capture without blocking the display unit (1).

[0027] Below the receiving unit (10), a plurality of connection ports are arranged. Specifically, this device includes a first connection port (31), a second connection port (32), a third connection port (33), and a fourth connection port (34) as a group of ports for connecting peripheral compliance devices, recording devices, secure storage devices, or institution-specific connectors. The network connection port (4) is provided for connection to the network infrastructure, and the government server connection port (5) is provided for direct / control connection to a government server or a public gateway device. In a preferred configuration example, the ports (31 - 34, 4, 5) are aggregated on the same surface to organize the port area, reduce cable clutter, and reduce the risk of misconnection in compliance operations.

[0028] The communication block (6) is fixed to the upper surface of the main housing. In the illustrated embodiment, the communication block (6) is vertically arranged for the purpose of improving wireless performance and physical separation from the lower ports. The antenna (7) extends upward from the communication block (6) to improve the reliability of wireless communication in remote compliance updates, policy synchronization, or secure cloud / government gateway access.

[0029] An audio unit (8) is arranged in the communication block (6), including a speaker and a microphone unit (81). With this configuration, the following multi-modal governance operations become possible:

[0030] Voice prompt for compliance checklist

[0031] Audible alerts for high-risk compliance events

[0032] Secure voice-based approvals (if permitted) are recorded for audit trail purposes.

[0033] Microphone verification during governance procedures

[0034] Because the audio unit (8) is located on the communication block (6), sound emission and microphone pickup performance are improved compared to a bottom-mounted configuration, especially when the unit is placed on a desk with cables connected.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the device is equipped with multiple base supports (91, 92, 93, 94) that protrude downward from the bottom surface. These base supports stabilize the device and keep the bottom surface higher than the mounting surface. The clearance space created by this elevated structure can be used to accommodate the battery unit (11) located on the bottom surface.

[0036] The battery unit (11) enables continuous operation during transport, field inspection, or power outages, which is advantageous for governance and compliance applications. The clearance formed by the base supports (91-94) also reduces direct contact between the battery unit (11) and the mounting surface, improving ventilation and reducing heat buildup.

[0037] This device includes a wireless data input port (12) and a cybersecurity input data port (13). Structurally, these ports are formed as rounded rectangular ports located on a vertical surface. The wireless data input port (12) enables data reception from wireless sources and authorized wireless modules (e.g., secure wireless dongles or agency-issued adapters). The cybersecurity input data port (13) is dedicated to secure governance operations and can be used to connect hardware security keys, secure authentication modules, or cybersecurity inspection devices.

[0038] The device further includes an external computer device connection port (14) for connecting an external computer or monitoring terminal. This port (14) is separate from ports (12, 13) and is configured for controlled device-to-device connections such as audit export, monitoring review, or controlled policy deployment.

[0039] The device comprises at least one alarm unit (15) formed in an elongated strip shape on a vertical plane. The alarm unit (15) can be implemented as a translucent window for internal illumination, a vibration / indicator strip, or a combined alarm strip. An LED indicator (16) is positioned adjacent to the alarm unit (15). By providing both the alarm unit (15) and the LED indicator (16), the device can display the following stepped alarm levels:

[0040] ·Normal operation • Compliance awareness needs to be raised. • Emergency risk escalation, and • Confirmation of transmission to government server

[0041] It should be understood that the embodiments described represent one preferred structural configuration of the present invention. Modifications can be made without departing from the essential spirit of the invention, particularly in terms of port shape, number of data interfaces, or dimensions of the device, as long as the core concepts of modular spatial arrangement and shape-defining housing are not impaired.
