Description

[[TECHNICAL FIELD]]

[0001] The present invention relates to the shape, structure and configuration of a computer device.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to the structure of a portable computer device provided with respective components of a display, input, communication, server connection, audio, heat dissipation, and base support, which is used for decision support and treatment recommendation in personalized elderly care. [[BACKGROUND ART]]

[0003] In elderly care, reliance on computerized support systems for monitoring, recording, processing and presenting patient-related information is increasing. In hospitals, care facilities, elderly care centers, and home care environments, caregivers may be required to access patient records, communicate with hospital servers, connect to central care servers, receive voice instructions, perform manual input, and view decision support information through a display interface. For such applications, the computer device is not merely required as a general-purpose computer, but as a structurally organized device in which connection, communication, display and support components are arranged in a compact and easy-to-use manner.

[0004] Conventional desktop computers, tablet computers, and medical terminal devices generally include an independent display unit, an external keyboard, external communication accessories, an external speaker or microphone device, and an independent network connection configuration. Such a separated structure may occupy more space, and may be inconvenient in elderly care environments where the device is often placed on a hospital desk, bedside table, nurse station counter, or mobile care trolley. In such environments, it is desirable for the device to include a stable base, a highly visible display section, an easy-to-operate input section, and a plurality of connection ports arranged within a predetermined housing structure.

[0005] In applications supporting decision-making in elderly care, the device may need to communicate with various information sources, such as patient databases, central servers, hospital servers, and external devices. However, conventional computer enclosures do not always provide structurally dedicated arrangements for connecting to patient databases, central servers, hospital servers, and external communications within a single, compact enclosure. The use of multiple external cables, ports, and wireless communication elements without proper structural arrangement can make the device cumbersome to handle and may prevent it from providing a neat, terminal-like appearance suitable for use in medical and elderly care settings.

[0006] Furthermore, elderly care support systems may require visual, manual, and voice interaction. For example, caregivers and elderly users may need to view care-related information on a display, input information through a user input device, issue voice commands through a voice input port, and receive voice output through a voice output port. In known devices, these elements are often provided individually or arranged without consideration of a unified structural configuration. As a result, they may not be ergonomically suitable for rapid interaction in a care support environment.

[0007] Another limitation of conventional devices is the lack of an integrated communication structure. Wireless communication configurations are often built-in or provided via detachable external adapters. Such configurations may not provide a visible, dedicated antenna support structure. In elderly care support terminals, structurally defined communication blocks and antenna arrangements can realize a more organized, purpose-specific device configuration for external communication.

[0008] Furthermore, computer equipment used for continuous or semi-continuous elderly care support may generate heat during operation. If the enclosure does not have a dedicated cooling structure, this can lead to reduced ventilation and overheating of internal electronic components. Therefore, there is a need for an enclosure that incorporates a device cooling unit, preferably equipped with a louver or slit-shaped ventilation structure, within the device body.

[0009] Device stability is also crucial. In hospitals and nursing homes, devices may be accessed frequently, connected to various cables, moved between locations, or placed on uneven surfaces. Typical flat-bottomed enclosures may not provide sufficient height or support. Therefore, multiple base supports positioned at the lower corners of the enclosure improve stability and allow for better support and ventilation by keeping the device elevated.

[0010] Therefore, a computer device structure is required for providing personalized elderly care decision support and treatment recommendations based on fuzzy MCDM. In this structure, a display unit, user input unit, connection ports, patient database connection port, central server connection port, communication block, antenna, audio input port, audio output port, hospital server connection unit, power and battery unit, device cooling unit, and base support are structurally integrated within a single, compact enclosure. The reference symbols and structural elements of this device are described in the uploaded symbol description. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0011] The objective of this invention is to provide a computer device structure that has a compact housing and a combination of structural elements that facilitate decision-making support and treatment recommendations for the elderly.

[0012] Another objective of this invention is to provide a device structure in which a display device, a user input device, multiple connection ports, an antenna support, a communication block, a cooling device, and a base support are arranged in a harmonious structural configuration.

[0013] Furthermore, the objective of this invention is to provide a portable desktop computer device structure for decision-making support and treatment recommendations in personalized elderly care based on fuzzy MCDM, which has stable support and easy access to the communication unit, audio unit, and server connection unit.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a computer device structure comprising a rectangular main housing, a front-mounted display unit, a user input unit, multiple connection ports, a patient database connection port, a central server connection port, a communication block, an antenna with base supports, an audio input port, an audio output port, a hospital server connection unit, a power supply and battery unit, a device cooling unit, and four base supports. The reference symbols are taken from the uploaded symbol description.

[0015] The aforementioned components are structurally arranged on different sides of the housing, forming a compact and portable computer device for elderly care. [Effects of the Invention]
