Patent ID: 7107361

Claim:
Coupled-type computers in which computers of a same structure are coupled to form an ensemble-type computer, said ensemble-type computer comprising: a holder formed by a hexahedral polyhedron cube; a plurality of computer components housed in said holder; a radio propagation bus space formed by a cavity provided in an inside region of said holder; a plurality of radio-electric signal interconversion elements operable to identify a signal, said plurality of radio-electric signal interconversion elements being respectively connected to corresponding computer components among said plurality of computer components, and said plurality of radio-electric signal interconversion elements each being disposed so as to face said radio propagation bus space in said holder; and a plurality of radio lines provided on said holder, said plurality of radio lines being operable to communicate by radio propagation with said radio propagation bus space such that said plurality of radio lines are mutually communicated with said plurality of radio-electric signal interconversion elements, wherein: holes provided on each surface of said holder open said radio propagation bus space to each surface of said holder; the holes provided on each surface of said holder enable said plurality of radio lines of said holder to mutually communicate with a plurality of radio lines of at least one other identically structured holder that is placed side-by-side with said holder by arranging said radio propagation bus space of said holder to communicate with a radio propagation bus space of the at least one other holder placed side-by-side with said holder; and each of said computer components housed in said holder is operable to perform data exchange with computer components of the at least one other holder placed side-by-side with said holder through transmission and reception of radio by said plurality of radio-electric signal interconversion elements respectively corresponding to each of said computer components.
