Abstract:
1. A portable data processing device, comprising: a portable data processing module, which includes: a base having an operation platform, on which a hand of a user may be placed, and an operation interface disposed on the operation platform, wherein the operation platform has a first transversal edge, a second transversal edge, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge; and a display pivotably connected to the base at the first transversal edge, wherein the display has a display surface facing the operation platform when the display is closed onto the base; and a portable image acquiring module, which is mounted on the base, for scanning a document and supporting the hand of the user, wherein a longest distance from the portable image acquiring module to the first transversal edge is substantially greater than or equal to a length of the first longitudinal edge, and the portable image acquiring module includes: an image sensing unit; a sheet-feeding mechanism for transporting the document; and a sheet passageway for guiding the document along a transporting path and across the image sensing unit, such that the image sensing unit scans the document, wherein the sheet passageway is configured such that the transporting path passes through an extension surface extending from the operation platform.
