Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a computer having at least two or more monitors that respectively display the output information of the computer in different directions, and in particular by displaying the same output information or different output information on other monitors, respectively. , A computer having a plurality of monitors that allows at least two or more persons to simultaneously check the output information of the computer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

The computer is a programmable electric device, and includes a main body having a central processing unit, a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, an input device such as the keyboard, an output device such as a monitor and a printer, and peripheral devices thereof. Then, it receives information input from the input device, processes it through a predetermined process, processes the result and stores it in a storage device, and at the same time, displays the result on an output device such as a monitor.

However, in a conventional general computer, one monitor is usually connected to one computer main body, and input / output information such as information input to the main body or information processed and output by the central processing unit of the main body. Since only one monitor can check the output information, only one person can check the output information, and only one person can proceed with the computer work.

Therefore, when the information provided by the visitor is input to the visitor and then the result is confirmed and the clerical processing is performed, for example, various ticket counters and civil applications of public institutions are applied. When using a conventional computer at a department or bank counter, since the input and output information cannot be shared between the clerk and the visitor, the clerk explains the input and output information to the visitor one by one and processes it after checking. There was an annoyance to do.
Therefore, it is considered to be a factor that delays the paperwork processing time and lowers the reliability of paperwork processing.

Further, since only one person can carry out the computer work in the conventional computer, each member must individually possess the computer when used in an office room in which a plurality of people work at the same time. As a result, the office space was narrowed.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a computer having a large number of monitors.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer having at least two or more monitors which can respectively display output information of the computer in different directions.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

To achieve the above object, a computer provided with a plurality of monitors of the present invention comprises a polyhedral main body having a central processing unit, a main storage device and the like built therein, and a support base for supporting a lower surface of the main body. In the computer, at least two units mounted on the opposite surfaces of the main body and integrated with the main body, connected to the central processing unit via a graphic card, and displaying input / output information of the central processing unit as images respectively. It is characterized by including a liquid crystal monitor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer having two or more monitors, each of which displays the output information of the computer in the other direction, and more particularly to the same output information or another monitor on another monitor. It relates to a computer with multiple monitors which allows at least two or more people to simultaneously view the output information of the computer by displaying the output information respectively.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A computer is a programmable electric device, such as a main body having a central processing unit, a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, an input device such as the keyboard, an output device such as a monitor and a printer, and the like. An output device such as a monitor that includes peripheral devices, receives information input from an input device, processes it through a predetermined process, processes the result and stores it in a storage device, and at the same time stores the result as display information in a monitor or the like. To display.

However, in a conventional general computer, one monitor is usually connected to one computer main body, and input / output information such as information input to the main body or information processed and output by the central processing unit of the main body. Since only one monitor can check the output information, only one person can check the output information, and only one person can proceed with the computer work.

Therefore, the conventional computer inputs information provided by the visitor to the visitor, and then checks the result (that is, output information displayed on the monitor) after confirming the visitor. When used at the ticket counter for processing, application window of public institutions or bank window, etc., the input / output information cannot be shared by the person who sells the ticket, civil servant, and bank employee, because the input / output information cannot be shared with foreign visitors. There was the trouble of having to explain the information to the outpatients one by one and confirm it before processing the clerical work. Therefore, it is considered to be a factor that delays the paperwork processing time and lowers the reliability of paperwork processing.

Further, in the conventional computer, one person works on one computer. Therefore, when a plurality of people use the computer in an office room at the same time, each member individually uses the computer. Since it had to be owned, it was said to be the cause of narrowing the office space.

[0042]

The computer with multiple monitors according to the present invention can respectively display the computer output information in different directions, so that two persons (for example, a person who sells a ticket and a person who buys a ticket) can use it. When using it at various ticket counters where you have to deal with clerical work while sharing the same output information, you can eliminate the annoyance of clerks who have to explain the input and output information one by one. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce the office processing time.

Further, by configuring the software, the liquid crystal monitors 22 and 23 are connected to the central processing unit through a separate graphic card, and the liquid crystal monitors 22 and 2 are time-shared.
If three different working environments are created and utilized for office work, two people can perform independent computer work while sharing one main body, so that the space efficiency of the office space can be greatly improved.

In addition, when an independent image is displayed on another auxiliary liquid crystal monitor 34 and is used at a bank counter or various ticket counters, it is possible to provide news and various product information to customers waiting for business processing. it can.

Although the present invention has been described above mainly with reference to the preferred embodiments in the detailed description of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the technical idea and claims of the present invention It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the bounds.
