摘要： The invention provides a single docking station structure which is usable for a set of different pieces of equipment having essentially similar interfaces, such as a manufacturer's line of portable (“notebook” or “laptop”) computer product models. A common first module supports interfaces with peripheral devices or the like. A model-specific second module, second from a set of second modules that correspond with various models from the line of portable computers, is coupled with the first module to support the portable computer. The second module supports the portable computer, so as to interface it directly with the interface on the first module. The second modules, preferably configured as trays for holding the portable computers, are very simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The trays can be stored next to the docking station (like magazines on a bookshelf). An identification system, which labels the different trays and cross-references them to the corresponding portable computers, allows for future changes in the manufacturer's product line, in which a new model of portable computer requires either a new tray or one of the previously existing trays. The invention is advantageous to manufacturers because it reduces the number and variety of docking station products required for use with the manufacturer's portable computers.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种单一的对接站结构，其可用于具有基本相似的接口的一组不同的设备，例如制造商的便携式（“笔记本”或“笔记本”）计算机产品型号的生产线。常见的第一模块支持与外围设备等的接口。与来自便携式计算机系列的各种型号相对应的一组第二模块的第二模型与第一模块耦合以支持便携式计算机。第二个模块支持便携式计算机，以便将其直接与第一个模块上的接口进行接口。优选地配置为用于容纳便携式计算机的托盘的第二模块非常简单且制造成本低廉。托盘可以放在对接站旁边（如书架上的杂志）。标识不同托盘并将其交叉引用到相应的便携式计算机的识别系统允许制造商的产品线中的未来变化，其中便携式计算机的新型号需要新的托盘或之前存在的托盘之一。本发明对制造商是有利的，因为它减少了与制造商的便携式计算机一起使用所需的对接站产品的数量和种类。

摘要： A security mechanism is provided, for use with portable equipment, such as a “notebook” type portable computer, which is to be coupled for use with stationary equipment, such as a port replicator or docking station. The security mechanism includes locking structures, located in complementary positions on the computer and the port replicator, for engaging each other to prevent theft by removal of the computer from the port replicator. The locking structures on the computer are standardized across a line of different computer models, so that the security mechanism is operative regardless of which of the different computer models is docked. Specifically, the locking structures of the various computers within the line of products are in corresponding positions on the computers, relative to the positions the computers occupy when docked. Therefore, the locking structures engage the same way, regardless of which computer of the line of products is docked. The security mechanism is manipulated by the presence of the computer being docked, so that the user is not required to manipulate the security mechanism separately from docking the computer.
摘要翻译：提供了一种安全机制，用于便携式设备，例如“笔记本”型便携式计算机，其将被耦合用于诸如端口复制器或坞站的固定设备。安全机制包括位于计算机和端口复制器上的互补位置的锁定结构，用于彼此接合以通过从端口复制器移除计算机来防止盗窃。计算机上的锁定结构在不同的计算机模型的一行之间被标准化，使得安全机制是可操作的，而不管哪个不同的计算机模型被对接。具体来说，产品线内的各种计算机的锁定结构相对于计算机在停靠时占据的位置处于计算机上的对应位置。因此，不管产品线哪个计算机对接，锁定结构都以相同的方式接合。安全机制由被对接的计算机的存在来操纵，使得用户不需要分离地操纵安全机制以对接计算机。
