Portable flat display adaptor

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the invention applying a device adaptor to a generic Flat Display with stand will be explained below.
As new devices and applications become known in the art, these will be adapted to the current embodiments of the invention.
Each of the three primary components of the preferred embodiment will be described first.
An ordinary COTS Flat Display 101 with stand 103 is shown from the rear in FIG.
1.
The Flat Display 101 is attached to the stand 103 through a mounting plate 102.
The mounting plate 102 is joined to the Flat Display 101 using screws or bolts which pass through mounting holes 104 that are positioned according to the predetermined mounting arrangement.
The size of the mounting plate 102 and the position of the mounting holes 104 can be adapted for the size and weight of the attached Flat Display 101, as specified by the predetermined mounting arrangement.
FIG.
2 shows the rear view of the Smart Device Unit core module 201.
The Smart Device Unit core module 201 has attached rear mounting brackets 202 with the exposed predetermined mounting holes 203 corresponding to the mounting holes 104 of the mounting plate 102.
From this viewpoint, the Smart Device Unit core module 201 can become fixed by attaching to the stand 103 via the mounting plate 102, shown in FIG.
1; or, in the preferred embodiments, it can become detachable by insertion into the Smart Device Unit Docking Station 301, shown in FIG.
7; or it can be joined with an expansion module such as an extended battery pack 501, shown in FIG.
6.
In FIG.
2A, the top view of the Smart Device Unit core module shows several exposed I/O ports and expansion slots.
A current embodiment consists of: a CompactFlash slot 204 to accommodate cards for networking and storage and other applications; a PCMCIA slot 205, also to accommodate larger form factor cards for networking and storage and other applications; a 10/100 Ethernet socket 206 to accommodate wired network connections; and USB ports 207, available for common peripheral expansion, such as an external keyboard and mouse
